I go back and forth on Gwyneth Paltrow’s career these days, and I’m talking about her acting career, not her side-projects with Goop and Tracy Anderson. Gwyneth is supposed to an actress, and an A-list actress at that. She’s won an Oscar, she’s worked with major directors, she’s told Courtney Love: “Once you’re A-list, you’re always A-list.” I know how Gwyneth thinks of herself, and she sees herself as a movie star. But Gwyneth has also “slummed it” on Glee and tried to make herself into a country singer, deigning to perform on country music shows and the like. I also think that film roles began drying up for Gwyneth several years ago, which is why she looked to amuse herself with projects like Goop. So, would Gwyneth deign to do TV on a more permanent basis? She might. But Star Mag says that TV doesn’t want her.

It isn’t just some of her fans who are fed up with Gwyneth Paltrow’s elitist antics — Hollywood is following suit.

“Her difficult behavior and diminishing star power have made it difficult for her to get leading movie roles,” divulges an industry insider. Now Gwyneth has turned to her Plan B: a TV role. However Gwyneth’s diva ways aren’t any more welcome on the small screen.

“Networks have been interested in her, but she wants $1 million per episode – and it’s ridiculous! Plus she wants control of casting and script changes. She drives people crazy, so they move on.”

The source says Gwyneth’s bad attitude cost her leading roles on two upcoming prime-time shows, CSI: Cyber and Bad Judge.

“Now she’s starting to panic, but unless she gets a reality check, this will keep happening. People won’t keep putting up with her forever.”

I really can’t see Gwyneth on a CSI spinoff, although the money would be great. She just wouldn’t do that, I think. But I could see her being interested in a premium cable show, like Masters of Sex (something like that) or even something that was built around her, like Halle Berry got with CBS’s Extant. Again, I’m of two minds on this – I think Gwyneth probably needs the money and she needs a steady paycheck, because keeping up four massive properties around the world is expensive. But I also don’t think she would deign to do TV on a more permanent basis. In any case, Gossip Cop spoke to Gwyneth’s rep and he said the Star story is “all made up.” But who believes Gwyneth’s rep these days? That’s the same person who was denying, denying, denying that there was any trouble in Gwyneth and Chris’s marriage.
