Gwyneth Paltrow Author Wars: Gwynnie Makes Enemies In Hamptons "Hijack", But Sweet, Meaty Revenge Enacted

Gwyneth Paltrow infuriated authors at a gala in the Hamptons. Yup, Gwennie made some enemies this weekend.

The Goop cookbook "author" was at the East Hampton Library's 9th Annual Authors Night on Saturday to promote her cookbook "It's All Good"...and actual literary authors were, um, decidedly unhappy.

Christina Oxenberg was in attendance to push her own title, "Life Is Short," and felt nudged out of the running thanks to Gwyneth's entourage-so she enacted some hilarious revenge.

"Due to the inflexibility of the alphabet I had the questionable good fortune to be seated directly beside Gwyneth Paltrow," she wrote on her blog.

Gwen came with the whole crew. "The divinity in question arrived with hubby, children, and a couple of massive bodyguards. The worshippers blocked my view of the whole world, abusing my tiny territory upon which to abandon their trash or lean their sorry asses."

Well, there was an obvious answer. Since Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't eat much actual food, why not go get some and let it waft her way?

"I saw the food table, and suddenly I knew what needed doing. I made a plate of miniature sloppy hamburgers, stinky steak sandwiches, and the like and hauled it back to my piece of table," Oxenberg wrote. Gwyneth hasn't eaten red meat in twenty years, BTW.

"Gwyneth's bodyguards blocked my re-entry despite my assurance I was a just an author and pointing at my name tag, 'No!' they growled, body blocking me," Oxenberg complained. "So I was forced to crawl under the table. And there I sat with my meat products, wafting the excellent smells toward my sleek vegan neighbor. She ignored the siren smells of protein."

Other authors were also miffed  by Paltrow's presence.

"Author's night at East Hampton Library highjacked by movie stars with ghost- written cookbooks," Jay McInerney tweeted, linking Oxenberg's blog post.

And Candace Bushnell, of "Sex and the City" fame, concurred.

"Author's worst nightmare: sitting next to Gwyneth at a signing. Hysterical," she tweeted with a link to Oxenberg's blog post.

Oxenberg said in reply, "@CandaceBushnell I miss you my friend. We must do it together next year, I can change my name to Bushenberg so we can sit side by side."

Gwynnie has her share of haters...but that hasn't made her stop putting out cookbooks with recipes that would cost $300 a day to make and $72 fish fingers for children.
