<p>Everyone is very, very mad at Gwyneth Paltrow for being racist, because <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/celebritology/post/gwyneth-paltrow-in-trouble-for-tweet-cissy-houston-to-write-book-about-whitney/2012/06/05/gJQAzLNoFV_blog.html">on Friday she tweeted</a>a picture of Kanye West and Jay-Z performing in France.</p>
<p>"Ni**as in Paris for real!" the tweet said, referring to the song title from the duo's album, <em>Watch the Throne</em>. We hate that this is forcing us to defend the creator of GOOP, but no, this is not a racist tweet.Especially because she didn't write it? It was written by a black celebrity who borrowed her iPhone. So who is racist <em>now</em>, America?!?!<br />

<a href="http://observer.com/2012/06/gwyneth-paltrow-sort-of-uses-the-n-word-on-twitter-but-not-really/gwynethtweet/" rel="attachment wp-att-244204"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-244204" title="gwynethtweet" src="http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/gwynethtweet.jpg" alt="" width="467" height="352" /></a></p>
<p>When the attacks started, Ms. Paltrow--like any rational person--responded with "Hold up. It’s the title of the song!" It <em>is</em> the title of the song. The song doesn't even use stars to replace letters, like Ms. Paltrow did. But also "Hold up" doesn't sound like Ms. Paltrow!</p>
<p>Then it turned out that it wasn't even Ms. Paltrow who tweeted it! <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/MrTeriusNash">Terius Nash</a>, also known as record producer The Dream, sent a message on <a href="https://twitter.com/MrTeriusNash/status/209128137311784960">Twitter</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Fyi Sorry for the Confu I typed Ni**as in paris for real from Gwens Phone my bad I was Fkd up please excuse it! We were lit!</p></blockquote>
<p>What? Okay. Celebrities are weird. We wouldn't let our friends tweet from our accounts, and we didn't even star in <em>Iron Man</em>!</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: Do not let The Dream act as your ghost-tweeter. Especially if you <a href="http://music.ninemsn.com.au/blog.aspx?blogentryid=792003&amp;showcomments=true">still want to do that record with Jay-Z</a>.</p>
