Eeeeek. Sometimes you read something and you just want to cringe for the person who said it. Hey Marion! Shhhhhhhh.

Oscar winner Marion Cotillard raised eyebrows around the world Saturday when it emerged that she doubted the official account of the 9/11 attacks.

"I think we're lied to about a number of things," Cotillard said during an interview with a French television program, singling out the World Trade Center attacks as an example of conspiracy by the United States government for political ends.

"We see other towers of the same kind hit by planes. Are they burned? There was a tower, I believe it was in Spain, that burnt for 24 hours. It never collapsed. None of these towers collapsed. And there [in New York], in a few minutes, the whole thing collapsed."

The 32-year-old French actress jeopardized the good will created by her Oscar win by suggesting that the towers, planned in the early 1960s, were an outdated "money sucker" that would have cost more to update than to destroy.

"It was a money-sucker because they were finished, it seems to me, by 1973, and to re-cable all that, to bring up-to-date all the technology and everything, it was a lot more expensive, that work, than destroying them," she said.
