Gwyneth Paltrow: Obama is 'so handsome that I can't speak'

Gwyneth Paltrow hosted a fundraiser for President Obama on Thursday night, and she wasn't shy about expressing her admiration for the nation's leader.

During a speech at the event, Paltrow told Obama, "I'm one of your biggest fans, if not the biggest." Paltrow went on to praise Obama's passion for equal pay legislation.

But Obama's policy wasn't all she had an opinion about. Paltrow then added a footnote to Obama into her speech: "You're so handsome that I can't speak properly." For further proof of Paltrow's adoration, check out this photo of her at the event. --Meghan DeMaria
