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:
