"I felt so upset to be completely misconstrued and I never, ever would have said that," the Oscar-winner told People.Every time a celebrity gets caught with foot-in-mouth they've been misquoted, mistranslated, taken out of context or misconstrued.

thats b*ll*cks gwyneth! And the journo will be pretty quick to get her tape out and represent her comments. Gwyneth also made some horrible remarks about the UK last year so i guess it depends what frame of mind she is in. I dunno but who really cares what she thinks? Water off a ducks back...:)
I linked to you at a tangled web. Great post on Chavez!
