Gywneth Paltrow upset guests at benefit party when she refused to spend any time with them, after they paid up to $2,500 to attend a party with her at photographer Steven Klein’s home in the Hamptons.

The party benefited one of Gwyneth’s charities, the Amarayllis Farm Equine Rescue Organization, but rather than mingle with the attendees dying to catch a glimpse of her fine ass, Gywneth spent most of the evening in Klein’s house, which was off-limits to those paying party guests.

“Gwyneth stayed in the house from the beginning,” sniffed one guest. “She was hanging inside the house with Steven and with Kelly Klein nearly the entire time. Nobody could go inside the house, they had security blocking the way. It was so rude.”

Even Billy Joel’s wife, Katie, was turned back, says a source.

Perhaps even worse, Klein demanded that guests wear all black, and herded them into his unlit horse riding field.

“It was a ‘black’ party, everybody had to wear black,” our source says. “[Klein] had a bonfire off to the side, but there were no lights whatsoever, and his backyard is huge. He has these black benches all around, and people kept crashing into them.”

Paltrow did emerge for about five minutes to address the group, which included Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Andrew Saffir, Nicole Miller, Sale Johnson, Russell Simmons, Rosanna Scotto, Rocco DiSpirito and Marcy Warren.

After crying, “I can’t see! I can’t see!” as she teetered to the field, the “Iron Man” star talked about Amaryllis, which helps stop the slaughter of horses, donkeys and mules for dog meat in Mexico.

The party raised $200,000, which seems like a rather small amount for a celeb-studded bash, but I guess it doesn’t cost much to keep a donkey from being turned into Ol’ Roy.
