Well it's not like she's saying particularly nasty things . . . the worst things she said were "he talks too much" (which presumably Colin Firth would already know) and "he's an attention-seeker/has emotional issues" (which SBC and everyone else already knows). Most of what she said was compliments.

Brock Albert I think she/he meant about the reporters and awards. There are celebs who already won 3 GG but they inky truly deserved one. Also, mostly of the time the articles referred to her as “Tim Burton’s girlfriend” , when they split up as “Tim Burton’s ex”
