Gwyneth Paltrow, whose new movie "A Perfect Murder" opens
today, told EW Online from London that the English press
is treating her like Hollywood royalty. "Since Princess
Diana was killed, the British media are more respectful,"
says the actress, who just finished filming "Shakespeare in
Love," written by Tom Stoppard and starring Geoffrey Rush
and Dame Judi Dench. "If you ask them, 'Please don't follow
me' or 'Please don't take a picture,' they actually listen,
which they didn't used to."

But Paltrow, 24, isn't naive enough to think that her media
honeymoon will last forever. "Right now it's okay, because
I'm in favor. They're really nice to me because everybody
loves 'Sliding Doors,'" she says. "But I know from experience
that they can really build you up and then have a big ol'
party being rude and tearing you down."
