Gwyneth Paltrow has quite a potty mouth.
When the 38-year-old actress stopped by E!'s Chelsea Lately on Monday, the Oscar winner proved she's not as prim and proper as she sometimes seems.

Host Chelsea Handler got the ball rolling when she discovered that they both call their grandmothers "Mutti" (the German word for "Mommy"). "My Mutti was a real bitch," Handler, 36, quipped.
Without missing a a beat, Paltrow replied: "My Mutti was a real c**t!"

"She just hated my guts, basically," Paltrow explained. "She tried to poison my mother against me, but it didn't work because I have a great mother [Blythe Danner, 68]. She was just tough."
"You look back and you think she must not have been very happy and she must have had a lot of pain, because she was mean as hell," the actress added.

Fortunately, Danner is a much nicer grandmother to Paltrow's two children, Apple, 6, and Moses, 5.
"She was adamant that she did not want to be called grandma. And who can blame her? My mom's hot and she didn't want to be called grandma," Paltrow laughed. "She decided she was going to be called 'Woof.' So she kept trying to make the 'Woof' thing stick. It's even her email address!"

"Apple just wasn't having it and one day she was just like, 'Lalo!' And that was it," Paltrow said. "She's Lalo."
Tell Us What You Think
16I think its hilarious you guys are so outraged by this. Who freaking cares. She overdoses at the end of Country Strong. Go watch that if you hate her so bad.
Still really inappropriate. She has a daughter. Does she want some Brit calling her daughter the c-word...she can just say, "Oh Apple, its just like being called a b----!!" Sorry folks, no rationale for stupid language. Maybe Paltrow's arrogance set her gramma off.
I don't care for her at all so I can't believe I'm defending her but she lives in Britain and "the C word" is commonly used and doesn't have the same punch it does here. It's insult level is more in line with b***h. It's most commonly used between men, like calling your buddy a jerk.
I hope Apple and Moses see this on youtube one day.
She needs to wash her mouth out with some Lysol. No matter how much you hate someone, that's just a nasty word.
I honestly have never seen a movie of hers. Never got the appeal.
Not classy. Wow..the more she is "out there", the less I am liking her.
love her!
wow.. classy gwyneth.. real classy.
Lovely language.
Never followed this woman or her career. I remember vaguely Brad Pitt gushing all over her at the Golden Globes when he won, and said she was the love of his life. Never followed her.
Wow, don't you want your kids to see/hear you use that kind of language? I know there are people out there willing to drop their moral standards because they idolize some celebrity but I'm sorry - I would be horrified if my children used that word, shame on her.
I had a very mean grand mother as well but out of shear respect for my mother I would never use that word to describe anyone, let alone a relative!
Gwyneth is average at best and Apple is the stupidest name I've ever heard.
What a phony.
stick your head up your own butt a little further Gwyneth. we can still hear you speaking.
