Gwyneth Paltrow Prefers Top Gun

Gwyneth Paltrow has vowed not to make a big Hollywood movie - because they're "terrible".

The actress says today's films are so bad she can't imagine leaving her daughter, Apple, to shoot one.

Gwyneth, who is expecting her second baby with husband Chris Martin, said:

"Hollywood films these days are just so bad. They used to be kind of good like 'Top Gun' or something, but now they're just terrible.

"So, I couldn't imagine leaving my daughter for 14 hours and doing something like that."

She also doesn't think Americans are the smartest bunch in the world.

The mother-of-one told Britain's Star magazine:
"Brits are far more intelligent and civilised than Americans. I love the fact that you can hail a taxi and just pick up your pram and put in the back of the cab without having to collape it. I love the parks and places I go for dinner and my friends. It's a pretty city, you know."

Meanwhile, Paltrow's daughter Apple has both a British and an American passport but doesn't mind her English accent.

The blonde star said:
"She says 'Mummy' instead of 'Mommy', I don't mind that. I will if she starts saying 'basil' and 'pasta' the English way, as that really drives me nuts."

Mariah Carey Wanted Best Album Award

Mariah Carey reportedly refused to leave her dressing room at the Grammys because she didn't win Best Album.

The pop diva allegedly sulked in her private room after the show because Irish rockers U2 had scooped the accolade for their hit LP, 'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb'.

A source told America's New York Post newspaper:
"She ended up back at her hotel with a small group of friends."

Earlier this week, it was claimed the songstress - who won three awards, including Contemporary R&B Album for 'The Emancipation of Mimi' - was angry pop rival Madonna was chosen to open the ceremony.

Mariah was said to be desperate to headline the star-studded bash.

An insider told the New York Daily News newspaper she "really wanted to open the show with her choir-backed rendition of 'We Belong Together'."

But Madonna, who performed a duet with animated group the Gorillaz, also wanted to open the event - and allegedly threatened to boycott the ceremony if she didn't get top billing.

A source revealed:
"The war between Madonna and Mariah has been going on for years.

"Mariah was also steaming last summer when Madonna stole the show at Live 8."



Mariah Carey is all smiles at her after party, but would have been more special if she won for Best Album.

Nicole Richie is ready to take a plunge into the club business. Her ex-boyfriend and owner of LAX, Adam Goldstein aka DJ AM might face Nicole as a competitor. Nicole was at the club's launch party and continued to hit the night club a few times a week while she was still with Adam. She has been scouting several Hollywood industrial spots to find the perfect location for her own club.

A source tells In Touch:
"Nicole saw first-hand how profitable the club business can be.

"She wants a piece of the action."
