Gwyneth Paltrow and Country. In the Same Sentence?


Gwyneth Paltrow, Country StrongI am pretty tolerant of people testing their professional boundaries. But -- at heart -- I'm also a country girl, so I take a bit of offense to Gwyneth Paltrow uttering the words "I'm country strong, hard to break..." and acting all earthy and well, country.
I know it's just acting, but country music fans -- and make fun of us if you want -- like our singers somewhat authentic. When Faith Hill or Reba or Dolly croon a country ballad, we believe that each woman possibly came down a long, dirt road to reach success. I'm sorry, but the closest Gwynnie has ever gotten to the country is maybe stopping by a Neiman Marcus in the suburbs She's from New York, people! And she lives in London. London! Not only does she not live in Nashville, home to country sweethearts like Taylor Swift, she doesn't even live in the country where she sings about being country strong.
Rant complete. On the bright side, her dress was pretty cute at the premiere of the movie (and honestly, the song was pretty good, too.) (Photo Credit: Rick Diamond/Getty Images)
