Because on set, off set, Gwyneth has convinced herself that the only way to gain respect is to act. To act continuously. After all, look at the track record--she's told us many times that she was the "it" girl at her high school who all the girls worshipped, she's never gone six months without a boyfriend in her life, and she nabbed an Oscar...

...Boston this week. Hooray!...Will Smith keeps getting mentioned for high profile upcoming movies--a Muhammad Ali biopic, taking the place of Carey Grant in a remake of Charade, etc. Why the delusion? Will Smith is slightly charming, and a box office draw, but he still can't act... Did you know Modern Maturity has the highest circulation of any magazine in the country? And here I thought it was Teen People...Have a great Halloween weekend. A friend and I already have our costumes set. We're gonna be the Puerto Rican Dynamic Duo: Ricky Martin and Jennifer Lopez...
