Photo: BEImages/Jim Smeal.Even though she is Gwyneth Paltrow, Oscar-winner, lifestyle website impresario, and giver of unique children's names, she still gets flustered. Who sends the Goopster into a giggling schoolgirl tizzy? None other than Commander-in-Chief Barack Obama.
Paltrow recently hosted a fundraiser for Obama at her home in Brentwood, California. When it came time for her to shake the President's hand, she was reduced to tween-meeting-Harry-Styles status.
"I am one of your biggest fans, if not the biggest," Gwyneth reportedly gushed per Page Six, before continuing, "You’re so handsome that I can’t speak properly."
It's interesting to note that when the President commented on a woman's looks, he had to issue an apology. When a woman commented on his looks, the media covers it objectively and without the aim of admission of wrongdoing.
Paltrow managed to get it together enough to thank Obama for his efforts to close the gender-wage gap. She also added that it was a "profound honor" to have the President in her home.
The two have already made plans to attend a Tracy Anderson class next week — we hope. (Page Six)
