Matthews on Hollywood Stars

On “Morning Joe” this morning, Chris Matthews weighed in on Hollywood and celebrity:

Gwyneth Paltrow … Julie Christopher … But is Brad Pitt really a movie star? …I can see Russell Crowe, I get it … Naomi Watts, I get … Angelina Jolie, I don’t get her … Jennifer Aniston, I get her. … Grace Kelly I get …

BUCHANAN: A long time ago, Chris!

MATTHEWS: But those movies are still available!
