Honestly, I have serious doubts about this story, which is appearing verbatim on all sorts of gossip sites and reads like email spam in part, but:

Gwyneth Paltrow loves fighting zombies.

The 38-year-old actress – who has daughter Apple, six, and four-year-old son Moses with husband Chris Martin – says one of her most used iPad applications is a game called ‘Plants Vs Zombies’, which she admits she doesn’t only have for the enjoyment of her children.

She said: “I play it almost as much as my kids.

“You choose from an arsenal of plants and battle against zombies with anything from pumpkins to mushrooms.”

If this shocking story is true, then we have a very high profile endorsement of PopCap’s particular flavor of Anti-Zombie hate. What’s more, you can see how this game, with its broad appeal to differing age groups, poses a particularly insidious threat to the Zombie Rights Movement. Indeed, it’s capable of poisoning the minds of entire households, multiple simultaneous generations, against Zombies.

Despicable.
