Gwyneth Paltrow and Mario Batali Are Costars in Randomness

Posted by Nicole Pasulka

This is a promo for the television show Spain... On The Road Again starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Mario Batali, Mark Bittman, and Claudia Bassols. Yes, that's correct, it stars Food Network celebrity chef Mario Batali, NY Times celebrity food writer Mark Bittman, and who else but the lily white angel of music Gwyneth Paltrow.

God, what a weird rat pack piled into a Mercedes convertible. We imagine eating with Batali pretty awesome despite having to look at his bright orange Crocs and we're suprised that Gwyneth can speak Spanish, but how the hell is this a show?

We have an idea for a show: Nicole and her dog take walks around Brooklyn and eat sandwiches and he barks at strangers while Nicole sometimes forgets to brush her hair. What do you think? Great! Now give Nicole a Mercedes, she'll be sure the hood ornament features prominently in all driving sequences.

So does that mean that everyone in Hollywood secretly knows each other?  And that they all take off to reenact summer camp with each other whenever they feel like it?  And that Gwyneth...um, eats?
