Another reason Gwyneth Paltrow bugs me

I know I'm behind the times, bringing up Gwyneth's annoying mispronunciation of Anthony Hopkins' name as AnTony, but you're also talking to a girl who didn't start listening to Nirvana long after Kurt Cobain was dead.

Needless to say, I'm gonna go ahead and rant.

OK, first of all, your name is Gwyneth. GWYNETH. I'm sure that you were probably that bitch in school who corrected the sub in class whenever she called roll and accidentally said your name wrong, even though you shouldn't have given a fuck cause c'mon, she's just a sub and there for only one day, so shut up you whiny drama club baby and let her finish taking roll already.

Secondly, you named your kid Apple and I'm sure you expect people to say it to her face without bursting into laughter on a repeated basis. The man's name is Anthony. It's not hard to remember. It's pretty standard. You worked with him, right? Unless, maybe it's some kind of inside joke where he called you GwyneTT on set and in retaliation, you were all, "Oh yeah, you think that little 'h' you left out isn't a big deal? Well, let's see how you like me now, AnTony! Ha! I mean, A!"

Or maybe, it's a stupid thing where you think that the original British pronunciation of Anthony's name can't POSSIBLY be the same as the pronunciation the rest of us unenlightened po' folk in the New (and therefore less cultured) World use and so you thought you'd school us. Like when Americans make movies set in any country in Europe and have all the actors use British accents, even if it's set in France or Italy, and NOT the United Kingdom.

Either way, I still think you're boring. And so is Coldplay. Except for that "Yellow" song.
