My gracious English friend. Thank you for correcting my obvious flaw. However,
I was making an attempt at humor. People around my area of the country would
pronounce it as spelled.
Have an extremely wonderful evening my good man.

Paltrow claims she has a problem with "capitalistic" culture. According to the Sunday Times Rich List of 2005, she and her class-warrior husband are worth approximately £115 million dollars.
You can't stuff much more capital than that into a private bank account. These people are revolting hypocrites living a life of luxury you or I could not even imagine, and they are almost identical in profile and behaviour to the French aristocracy circa 1750.
Also, she and Madonna are only in the UK to hide from the Bush administration and the nasty nasty Republicans. Expect a massive strategic airlift of Hollywood A List out of Blighty when the White House goes blue in 2009.

Am I the only who sees the **cough** irony in one wealthy person seeking guidance from another wealthy person about how to live a non-materialistic lifestyle, while both of them live in the lap of luxury?

You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
No, I'm not bitter...

Well there's always Brittney Spears looking to her pal Paris Hilton for guidance on being a singleton.

Damn, I couldn't find one error in that statement.
So I shall simply disagree with you on the grounds that your avatar is not festive enough.

I'm afraid that it's impossible for me to offer you more so please, since my avatar doesn't seem to reflect the general mood of this festive season, put me on ignore until the New Year. Then the puppy will drop his christmas hat and be his normal self again. Have a good evening.

Is there something in the water 'round here?
I have no one on ignore, that would be a rude and unfestive thing to do.
May the peace of a thousand camels alight on your yuletide nuts in this Christmas season.
Have a splendiforous day.
