Plus! She doubts Neil Armstrong! "Did a man really walk on the moon? I saw plenty of documentaries on it, and I really wondered," she says. "I don't believe all they tell me, that's for sure."

Comments
Yes, Simon, but without the Viagra, it's just an insult.
I love Prince Harry. That.is.all.
BI: Sean Penn??
Simon Cowell is such a romantic!
What, nothing about Amy Winehouse and her impetigo?
The magazine that 'outed' Harry should get blasted for their asshole move. They not only risked him, but a lot of others in the field. Is a dull story like that worth getting people killed?
The skyscraper tower that burned in Madrid (The Windsor Building)*wasn't hit by a plane filled with thousands of gallons of fuel, ninny.
*which despite official denials is pretty much suspected to have been arson.
@Muffyn: And many a sweet Harry dream tonight! I know I'll have some.
And poor Juvenile. Didn't he lose his house in Hurricane Katrina too? That guy can't get a break.
Oh, Marion Cotillard, you were supposed to improve France-American relations. This isn't going to help.
The buildings didn't take a few minutes to collapse. They took an hour +. Plus, they were hit by planes full of fuel. I believe the Spanish building she's talking about was an act of arson.
Well, Marion, we loved you while you lasted. The group thinkin' American public already has enough of a beef with the French, now you question our rootin' tootin' turrurist fightin' agenda, suffice to say you're done here.
WTF is Marion Cotillard talking about? Srsly.
Wait a minute...you mean people didn't want to pay 10 bucks to see Tallablades of Pro? I am shocked. Shocked!
I knew that French chick wasn't that bright when she thanked Love for her Oscar. Oy.
BI: Sean Penn!
@SarahHeartburn: Whoops, you beat me to it!
FYI, Pete: Punk-themed beauty parlor=not punk.
@DorothyZbornak: Juvenile's house was likely not destroyed in Katrina. He lives about two miles from my parents, and that whole area barely even got wind damage. Uh, unless he moved since I was in high school. I'll have to look that one up.
While I think Marion Cotillard is a pretty swell lady, and good for her for not just believing the shit she's fed... yeah, shut up.
@Rilo-Andy: yah. I was always a Wills girl until recently. I think my turning point was when he wore that Halloween costume that was a Nazi uniform. I realized, "woah. he has a twisted sense of humor. I like!!!".
@Leiakat: I do agree though that they should have kept the info quiet. It was stupid to out that he was there. I mean really, no one was asking where he was. We were all content not wondering if he was there.
Wouldn't it be awesome to see an actual human face on the cover of Allure? I understand that they're trying to sell makeup, but for fuck's sake, the airbrushing at that magazine is beyond ridiculous.
@BiscuitDoughJones: I'll still see her movies, but I don't really want to hear her talk otherwise. Is that bad?
I don't blame Simon Cowell. Pre-nups aren't recognized in jolly old England. I know I wouldn't get married without one.
And Marion Cotillard, you are no longer awesome.
Pete Wentz does know that 14 year old girls don't have $500 dollars to spend on a haircut, right?
I saw "In Bruges" this weekend and Colin Farrel was sexy sexy!
Good to know I can count on CNN for all J.Lo baby news.
Someone should tell Eva Longoria that running around telling the press you've gained weight does not equal them saying you're fat.
Yay for Marion. Everybody should question what happened that day, and not use only US media and our government as their source material.
Definitely Sean Penn!
@katekate: I agree! I think the media pounced on this and took what she said out of context. It's not like she said it didn't happen, she just expressed her opinion on the matter.
backing away now.
@BiscuitDoughJones: I might be mixing him up with one of the other Cash Money guys. I thought one of them lost a house, but I could be wrong.
@Leiakat: i heard a whisper that it was the drudge report that first broke the harry story, but then it was never mentioned again-- just "american media" or "websites." so who knows. but it does bother me-- it probably put his unit in danger, ya know?
Dear Simon: Spouses cleaning the artists out, huh? Haven't you heard of a pre-nup?
Those McAvoys, they're just like the rest of us! Also, Cowboys and Indians magazine? Really?
Is Pete Wentz the only member of Fall Out Boy? I've never heard anything about the other guys. I bet they hate him.
Marion, hon, I think you're gorgeous and talented, but I don't pretend to know about things that happened in France. So please do us the same favor. If you had just said Bush is crazy and an idiot, we would have all agreed with you. And probably given you another award.
@serreca: I'm officially annoyed. And I was slightly annoyed at her Oscar speech. I know it was supposed to be sweet or whatever but she just came off like a fool. She reminds me of Julie Delpy. Annoying.
Marion then added, "Also, I hear the food served at the Upton Heights Elementary School cafeteria is really made of the worm guts and perhaps the alien grease. Timmy McDonald, who is the second-grader at the school, told this to me. I am shocked to be hearing this. The tater tots looked as if they were potato, but now I am thinking perhaps no."
Say what you will, Simon Cowell is a hell of a lot smarter than Paul McCartney.
"Cowboys and Indians?" What the fuck? It's bad enough Billy Ray and his paycheck are on the cover of a magaine, but "Indians?" Oy!
@AthertonMerriweather: You get the feeling he's the Gwen of that crew, don't you?
@SinisterRouge: Me too, she annoyed me bad at the Oscars. Course I wanted Cate to win, so... yeah.
I don't even really get what Cotillard is trying to imply, anyway.
@hortense: Pete also knows he shouldn't be wearing Guyliner when he's pushing 30+, right?
Unless he's a Pirate of the Caribbean, and I just wasn't aware of it...
@daily_apple: I think people are forgetting she is European, so she has a totally different view of the whole incident. To us it is a national tragedy, to her it is an interesting event to theorize on.
Because she has an Oscar doesn't mean all her comments are going to be golden and public approved, just that people are writting them down now.
@hortense: Oh god, you always make me laugh.
@daily_apple: I agree with you. However, I think it is the fact that someone is telling us Americans how to accept what happened instead of an American questioning themselves what happened. I dunno. I don't believe everything I am told but she seems to be perpetuating the "Americans are ignorant" stigma.
@AthertonMerriweather: I think it's funny that he writes all the songs but he doesn't sing them. That is what balances out all the attention he gets from emo tweens.
Well, Marion, you were cute while you lasted. Nice dress, even. But you opened your mouth, and now you sound like a complete ass. Being newly minted as a celebrity doesn't also newly mint you as a genius, apparently.
@katekate: Gracious. That's my sentiment on basically everyone in Hollywood.
@serreca: Some bullshit conspiracy theory. I hate Bush as much as the next guy, but yeah, what she's implying did not happen. WE can blame Bush for incompetence before and after, and also for using 9/11 for political gain. But what she's implying is just ridiculous. And I wanted Cate to win too, damn it!
Oh Marion I do love you so but why???@crazybitch: Heart your avatar!
Wasn't it the Drudge report that first reported Harry's deployment? I heard on NPR that the UK tabloids knew back in Dec. but for the safety of the soldiers that he was with, they kept it on the downlow. Stay classy Drudge!
Also, I am not surprised about the Marion Cotillard thing -- while it's good to question things -- I don't think girlfriend is too bright -- from where I was sitting at the Oscars (um my living room couch in my pajamas) it appeared that she didn't get Jon Stewart's Gaydolph Titler joke.
@Rilo-Andy: hahaha! So true. I think I'm biased because he brought such a terrible trend back. Oh, and he made it cool for guys to whine like little bitches.
@onthecornerofparkerandwoolf: Not just his unit, but also other 'red-head' soldiers. He was a huge kidnap/death risk, hence keeping the whole thing quiet. So set every crazy off to try to find the 'prize'.
The media has to be held to some basic responsibility.
@daily_apple: It's good to question authority, but her statement is stupid. If a hundred engineers say the collapsing towers were real, I'm going to believe them over an actress.
@BeAgrestic: Don't get me wrong... Pete's a pretty boy, and I'd mount him. Just as long as I get to keep him from speaking... Perhaps duct tape?
