Martha Stewart is going to have to bake some seriously good apple pies to make up for this one.
The lifestyle guru has lashed out at Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow for trying to steal her lifestyling thunder.
Gwyneth’s own online lifestyle page, Goop, which advises us ordinary people on everything from bed-making to the fifteen best uses of kale and kettlebells (probably), has been gaining momentum since its 2008 founding. But Martha is not happy about it.
In an interview with Net-a-Porter’s Porter magazine, she said the Sliding Doors actress and Goop founder, 41, should stick to acting.
“She just needs to be quiet. She’s a movie star,” Stewart, 73, said.
“If she were confident in her acting, she wouldn’t be trying to be Martha Stewart”.
It’s a change of tune from Martha, who was openly praising the Academy Award-winning actress Gwyneth less than 12 months ago. In an October 2013 interview with Bloomberg Television, Martha said “I haven’t eaten at Gwyneth’s house and I don’t know how she lives, but if she’s authentic, all the better. I certainly hope she is. She really wants to be part of the lifestyle business. She’s a charming, pretty person who has a feeling for lifestyle. Fine, good.”
