Showboating Steven Spielberg fined for angering holidaymakers as he took Gwyneth Paltrow out on his £220m yacht

The Daily Mail reports:
Billionaire film director Steven Spielberg has been fined by Italian coastguards after his speedboat came too close to the coast and annoyed holidaymakers.

Triple Academy Award winner Spielberg, 64, was with actress Gwyneth Paltrow, when the incident took place after they took a trip in his speedboat while on his £220 million luxury yacht Seven Seas.

Angry sunbathers called police and coastguards because of the noise from the tender's powerful outboard motor after the director ventured to close to the shore and breached maritime regulations.

Doesn't Hollywood worry about its' carbon footprint?? Check out the size of the boat. Obviously, Spielberg isn't worried about the environment: if he was he wouldn't have a boat that big.
