"Sorry, America": Gwyneth Paltrow censored for her spicy take on teens

Gwyneth Paltrow has prompted a breakfast TV show to censor her after she roasted her teenage children. Speaking to Savannah Guthrie on US’ Today show, Paltrow was discussing what it was like to parent the two kids she shares with former husband Chris Martin, 15-year-old Apple Martin and 13-year-old Moses Martin, when she slipped out a dirty word. “It’s the best,” she said. “They’re really coming into themselves. They’re hilarious. They’re smart. They can talk. They can sort of muse about things, it’s just the greatest. I mean, yeah, they can be kind of, you know, d***s once in a while.” The comment aired without being censored but was later bleeped out in the online clip. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"> .<a href="https://twitter.com/GwynethPaltrow?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GwynethPaltrow</a> talks to <a href="https://twitter.com/SavannahGuthrie?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@savannahguthrie</a> about working with her husband Brad Falchuk on <a href="https://twitter.com/the_Politician?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@the_Politician</a>, and she says that <a href="https://twitter.com/LauraDern?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@LauraDern</a> predicted her career in business years ago. <a href="https://t.co/dMBmpklfGg">pic.twitter.com/dMBmpklfGg</a> — TODAY (@TODAYshow) <a href="https://twitter.com/TODAYshow/status/1177197675189559296?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 26, 2019</a></blockquote> “We don’t usually put a 7-second delay on when Gwyneth comes on,” Guthrie said. “I don’t even know if we’re allowed to say that.” “Sorry.
