Gwyneth Paltrow has taken her New York home off the market after just a day amid claims she made unpatriotic comments.

The backtrack over Paltrow and husband Chris Martin’s Manhattan pad which they had listed for $13.75 million coincides with an interview at a press event in Spain, where she is reported to have made “anti-American” comments.

But the actress insists she was misquoted, saying, “I feel so proud to be American. I am a New York girl.”

And her representative insists if it was offered for sale, it was by mistake, telling the New York Daily News, “She just finished decorating most of the place.”

Gwyneth Paltrow claims she would never make anti-American comments. The actress, says she is “deeply upset” by the remarks accredited to her this week and claims she was misquoted.

Paltrow who splits her time between London and New York with her husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin was quoted as saying: “The British are much more intelligent and civilized than the Americans.”

Gwyneth told People magazine:

“First of all I feel so lucky to be American. When you look at the rest of the world, we’re so lucky. I feel so proud to be American. I felt so upset to be completely misconstrued and I never, ever would have said that. I definitely did not say that I think the British are more intelligent and civilized than Americans. I am a New York girl. I live in England half the time because I’m married to an English guy. It’s not like I’ve left America. I said that Europe is a much older culture and there’s a difference. I always say in America, people live to work and in Europe, people work to live. There are positives in both.”

Jane Alexander: “We alternate. One year my house, one year my brother’s wife cooks. My nightmare memory is the Thanksgiving I’d just moved into a new house. Nothing had really been tested out yet. I had a brand-new Viking oven, and I was cooking and hosting the whole family. Nothing got cooked. Nothing. Nothing worked. There was no food. Nothing.”

Nathan Lane: “Hey, I only know whenever you spend it with your family it ends up s - - - ty.” Nathan’s coat was either the best grade cashmere I ever felt or a brand of vicuna. Softer than a baby’s behind, so the guy definitely has much to be thankful for.

Lisa Kudrow: “I’m good in the kitchen. Tomorrow I’m having 30 people over and cooking three 10-pound turkeys. I like a few smaller birds instead of a big one because they’re more moist and there are more parts. Three 10-pounders should be enough, right?” Me, she’s asking? For me, water is takeout.
