Gwyneth Paltrow’s Vespa Mishap

By Anne Cohen September 11, 2013

Gwyneth Paltrow, America’s most love-hated celebrity, has done it again.

People Magazine’s “Most Beautiful Woman 2013” — and Star Magazine’s most hated celebrity — draws the spotlight to her once again after she was filmed cutting off a school bus while on her Vespa. Taking advantage of a slight opening between two vehicles, Gwyneth slithered through on her sleek moped, forcing the bus driver to slam on the brakes at the last minute.

The worst part? Her daughter Apple was riding shotgun.

Watch the almost-accident below:

Anne Cohen was the Forward’s deputy digital media editor. When she’s not looking for the secret Jewish history of Voodoo in New Orleans, or making lists about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she writes for The Assimilator. She graduated from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism with an M.S. magazine concentration in 2012.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’re in the middle of our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we have a very ambitious goal of $127,000 by April 21.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
