Gwyneth Paltrow was caught on video cutting off a school bus on her Vespa, according to TMZ, who have posted the video on their website.
In the video, Paltrow can be seen stopped along the sidewalk behind a public bus. Her daughter, Apple, is seated on the back of the vehicle. As a yellow school bus approaches, Paltrow can be seen darting out in front of it at the last second, probably to get around the public bus. She cuts it so close that unless she is almost blind, in which case she shouldn't be driving, she must have seen it and then actively made the decision to cut it off.
She comes so close to the front of the vehicle that the bus is forced to hit the brakes and come to a full stop. Then another Vespa with her husband, Chris Martin, with their son, Moses, on the back pulls out as well while the bus is stopped. The video then shows them stopped at a red light seconds later, making them those drivers, the ones who pull out in front of you to get one whole car length ahead.
TMZ said they have contacted Paltrow for comment, but have not heard back. They have also named Paltrow "A-Hole Driver of the Year."
This hasn't been a good week for Gwyneth Paltrow is regard to publicity, as she has been in the media because she has been calling people she knows to ask them not to cooperate with Vanity Fair. The magazine is said to be writing a feature about her for the cover story of the September issue.
The New York Times wrote an article about the situation, where they included portions of an e-mail Paltrow sent to friends.
"If you are asked for quotes or comments, please decline," Paltrow wrote. "Also, I recommend you all never do this magazine again."
Paltrow also recently caused a stir when a fellow author wrote a blog about the negative experience of being seated next to Paltrow at an authors night event.
