There is a whole group of people miffed at Gwyneth Paltrow. Apparently, at a charity party hosted by photographer Steven Klein in Hamptons where guests paid up to 2,500 dollars, Paltrow just refused to spend any time with them.

Apparently, the Public Security Bureau even paid a visit to the hotel she was staying in.
