Gwyneth Paltrow Cuts Off A School Bus

Gwyneth Paltrow, known asshole, made herself an even bigger asshole last week when she pulled her Vespa out in front of a school bus while picking up her kids.
TMZ reports that Paltrow was with her husband, Chris Martin, when the incident went down. Each were apparently on their respective Vespas outside an L.A. school where their kids were waiting. After loading her charge onto her scooter, Paltrow jetted out into traffic, and made her way straight in front of the oncoming school bus.
No one was hurt, but the gossip site reports that the bus had to slam on its brakes as Paltrow continued on her merry way.
Gwyn isn't known for being a reckless driver, but she is known for writing hugely obnoxious articles in her lifestyle magazine for the rich and famous, GOOP.
The actress most recently appeared as Pepper Potts in "Iron Man 3."
