Gwyneth Paltrow snubs guests at equine rescue benefit

Gwyneth Paltrow is constantly trying to make sure she retains the rights to her “fish sticks” nickname. The woman really is getting even colder and more aloof, at least if you believe anything the Daily News had to say about her.

Gwyneth attended photographer Steven Klein’s benefit party for the Amaryllis Farm Equine Rescue Organization on Saturday night, where they paid $2,500 to mingle with Gwyneth and a few lesser celebs. However Ms. Paltrow stayed in an off-limits area of the party all night, which was then blocked off by security. She didn’t mingle or speak with any of the Hamptons partygoers, and emerged for only five minutes to give a brief speech.

Already disappointed that honorary chair Madonna didn’t show … guests became even more crestfallen when Paltrow spent most of the time off-limits in Klein’s house. “Gwyneth stayed in the house from the beginning,” sniffed one guest. “She was hanging inside the house with Steven and with Kelly Klein nearly the entire time. Nobody could go inside the house — they had security blocking the way. It was so rude.”Even Billy Joel’s wife, Katie, was turned back, says a source.

Paltrow did emerge for about five minutes to address the group, which included Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Andrew Saffir, Nicole Miller, Sale Johnson, Russell Simmons, Rosanna Scotto, Rocco DiSpirito and Marcy Warren.

After crying, “I can’t see! I can’t see!” as she teetered to the field, the “Iron Man” star talked about Amaryllis, which helps stop the slaughter of horses, donkeys and mules for dog meat in Mexico.

If only Paltrow would use her power, some thought, to let everybody into the house, which is where she quickly sequestered herself the rest of the evening. But all’s well that ends well: After an auction of Klein’s photographs, the evening raised $200,000 for the charity.

Heaven forbid Gwyneth Paltrow lower herself to speaking with the common folk. And let’s remember, these aren’t crazed screaming fans on the side of the red carpet. But “common folk,” we’re still talking about the Hamptons elite. You’d think even Gwyneth Paltrow would want to make a good impression. But apparently not.

Here’s Gwyneth with Steven Klein at the Equine Rescue Benefit on Saturday. Images thanks to WENN.

    What? Gwyneth Paltrow snubbing people ? Absurd !!

  2. daisy424 says:

    My God she looks huge, kinda scary.
    Steven Klein looks like a midget next to her.

    Like Katie & Tom.

    At least she showed up, but ignoring the ‘lessers’ = snob.
    Anyone surprised?

  3. Kaiser says:

    Those peasants should be pissing themselves with pride that Dame Paltrow deigned to even look at them.

  4. xiaoecho says:

    Kaiser said it best^^^^^

    Love the dress – it hides her droopy tits

  5. milkandkisses says:

    Whats the problem with using horses, donkeys & mules for dog food? They can’t all be pets and used for farm work.

    God there are much better causes out there.

  6. Mme X says:

    I used to love her–back when she did “Shakespeare in Love.” I defended her agst attacks from my friends who thought she was phony. Alas. Now she’s snubbing all of us, and I agree with those who suggested she should’ve stopped short of telling us who to vote for, but rather stuck to the point that voting is key. 😕

  7. CelebitchyFAN says:

    I like the dress, but it’s a little short for a woman of her age. I’ve said it before with one of her other WAY TOO SHORT dresses…you’re not Miley honey, don’t dress like her

  8. Mairead says:

    Nevermind her – if a guest decides not to mingle at a party it’s not good manners – but if the hosts stay away from the rest of their guests then they should be damned to Etiquette Hell forthwith. 😈

  9. BlueBerryPie says:

    I know her personally and to say she is cold is to be kind. Her mother is a joy though.

  10. Cinderella says:

    I think she’s preggers again and perhaps not feeling well.

  11. paris herpes says:

    They were probably shooting up heroin inside. Hence, the anti-social behavior. Her midget friends looks EFFED UP!

  12. anastasiabeaverhausen says:

    Ok I’m TOTALLY not defending her, because I don’t like her, but when I read how she was in an off-limits area the whole time and had security guarding that and didn’t have to mingle with anyone, it sounded like my idea of a perfect party. But then I’m having a really antisocial day and I have days like that.

    Then again, you go to a party, you really should probably at least make the round once just to say hi.

    On the OTHER hand, I would imagine it would get annoying getting the reactions from people when you’re a celebrity. Kissing your ass and shit. That would get old.

    Nevermind me.

    Forgive her, she named her children Apple and Moses for godsakes…..I think she has enough problems. (her time has come and past…she was only good looking when she first appeared w/Brad, circa Seven….her personality then took over her face, i.e. there was a girl I met in the 8th grade, we’ll call her Beth Mary. On the first dy of school I coudn’t stop looking at her because I thought she was so beautiful ( I’m not a lesbian,I just appreciate beauty ) anyhoosers, as time went on, I found she was a very mean girl ( not to me, I’d kick her ass ) to the slower and not so pretty girls and boys. About midway through the year, I remember looking at her and wondering how in gods name could I of ever thought or found her to be beautiful. She looked to be like a haggered old b/witch. THAT is how I feel towards Paltrow. ) Personality is key and no amount of make-up can do just that, make-up for unkindness.

  14. cara says:

    milk and kissie….you are so funny…I’m being serious.

  15. Codzilla says:

    This wasp is so predictable. Couldn’t she throw us a curve every once in a while and show a little humility?

    And for the record, I think it’s a great cause. Not sure how it became the Hamptons issue of the moment, but I’m glad they managed to direct funds toward something more significant than their wardrobes.

  16. Spoonman55 says:

    Doesn’t suprise me. Dishing the fans that gave her credibility and fame…

    She has and always will be a diva in her own mind. Get over it baby, your a Sasquatch looking no talent B#tch!

  17. Snowblood says:

    @ Cara, awesome post! Great comparison, I pick that impression up, too, now that you mention it.

    What I want to know is why was she flipping out and crying “I can’t see, I can’t see?” What couldn’t she see? Why was she struck momentarily blind? WTF was she on about, there, anyway?

    Yeah, Gwyneth is a super-snob, this is for damn sure. Smugly superior and self-important like crazy, there should be a special club for her type in hollywood – a few honorary members would be Paltrow, Anniston and Madonna, to rattle off the first ones coming to my head this afternoon. Oh! And you know that insufferable fake-punk chick, whats-her-name, god it’s killing me I can’t recall her name right now – she likes to dye streaks of her hair pink, always talks about how important she is? Young singer? This is driving me nuts, what is that girl’s NAME?? gah.

  18. daisy424 says:

    Avril Levine?

    milkandkisse; You’re post was disgusting. Move to China and eat some dog.

  19. Snowblood says:

    YES!! Yes, that’s the girl, Avril Lavigne, thanks Daisy! That would have kept driving me bananas all afternoon… 😆

  20. wanda farian says:

    Blythe Danner is wonderful and very funny. I was fortunate to work with her on a MOW. Not sure how her daughter turned out to be the opposite.

  21. BlueBerryPie says:

    Codzilla,
    She’s not a wasp. She’s 1/2 Jewish. FYI. But her ethnicity is not the problem.

  22. Gwyneth Paltrow is an actress because her Daddy put her in pictures. Otherwise, she’d be a big fat nobody.

  23. Enonymous says:

    I know it sounds mean but I think Gwyneth Paltrow is the epitome female celebrity butterface and Matthew McConaughey is the male version. Very nice body but below average looks.

  24. daisy424 says:

    Steven Spielberg gave her one of her first movie roles as Wendy in Hook. That’s back when I used to like her.

  25. Aud says:

    How to mix a Gwyneth

    Start with a glass of Martha Stewart
    Add a double shot of Liz Hurley
    Splash with a dash of Madonna
    Shake over ice and pour into a highball glass. Must be a pure crystal glass accented with 24k gold. Garnish with an olive straight from Greece, it cant be SEEN with a store bought olive.

  26. Nan says:

    Wait up…we’ve all been or have seen when someone is going crazy. She’s just doing it in public. She is obviously suffering…let’s cut her a little slack.

  27. Nan says:

    Enom….je t’aime.

  28. Nan says:

    Snowy, Avrile. Just another french-canadian like Madonna & Ange.

  29. brent says:

    Aud’s :mrgreen:
    THIS!
    is the comment of the week

  30. milkandkisses says:

    I wasnt trying to be funny or disgusting Im totally serious. We should stop projecting our western ways on other cultures. Just because in our society horses, dogs etc are considered pretty domesticated pets and for some reason considered more deserving to live and less desirable for dinner than cows and pigs doesn’t mean that other cultures considering them as food is wrong. What makes a horse so much better than a cow? Just because its prettier? Puhlease.

  31. daisy424 says:

    milkandkisses: When was the last time you ate horse.

  32. A.J. says:

    Who would want to hang out and mingle with the overrated ice queen, anyhow? Her acting is mediocre at best, she’s not exactly a fashion icon, and I could give a crap about whatever cause-of-the-week she wants to endorse.

    Security barring people from meeting Gwyneth, omg what a big loss 🙄

  33. milkandkisses says:

    4 years ago when i lived in the Netherlands. Its not bad actually.

  34. milkandkisses says:

    You know some cultures consider it vile that we consume pig as they are considered filthy. And how about Indian cultures who consider it sacrilege to eat Cow? But Im sure you had a bit of bacon or a burger lately. Who are we to dictate what animals are worthy for the dinner table and those who are cute enough to be spared?

  35. Nan says:

    Daisy, forget it. Don’t go there. Milk really has a point here & she is correct.

  36. daisy424 says:

    “We save primarily from slaughter and rehabilitate…re home wonderful horses and ponies.” Sounds like a great cause to me.
    Horse meat slaughter for consumption by humans is illegal in the US. All three slaughter plants in the U.S. have closed.
    China took dog and cat off their menus for the Olympics so they didn’t offend all westerners.
    Nan; I have a point also, I am entitled to my opinion.

  37. journey says:

    the worst part of slaughtering horses for food is the cruelty they endure before they’re dead. there’s no need to torture animals, at least give them a quick and humane death. i won’t go into the details, but it’s truly horrific.

    and as liberal as i am, and as much as i admire multi-culturalism, just because a foreign group does something doesn’t make it a rosey good thing. following your reasoning genoicides are good things and we should just accept them.

  38. Aspen says:

    Well, frankly, those of us who went vegetarian because of our revulsion at the idea of contributing to the torturous and inhumane methods that the U.S. uses to slaughter animals in industrial meat production…we think all of you are just nuts beyond measure to put that nasty stuff in your mouth. That said, I’m sort of with milk on this one…why horses?

    How about saving the cows and pigs and chickens from the torture they endure? How about raising money to support the organic family farms that raise and slaughter their livestock in a truly humane and healthy fashion?

    It would seem to me that putting your celebrity and money and influence behind that would be a much more useful and productive pursuit.

  39. John Stall says:

    Its great for Gwyneth to do this equine rescue benefit, but at $2500 a plate, you would think she could take the time to do at least a quick mingle and thank you! At this price tag per plate, i’m sure the attendees were quite civil. This is not cool of her.
