Gwyneth Paltrow Defends GOOP

Gwyneth Paltrow has been getting some criticism for her lifestyle newsletter and website GOOP.com. It's essentially just her random thoughts made to look "artsy," whatever that means. Anyhoo, she felt compelled to defend it.

"I think the people who are criticizing it or criticizing the idea of it, don't really get it, because if they did, they would like it..." Paltrow said she believes some of the barbs simply stem from the fact that she's doing something new and different. "I think that people like people to stay in their 'box' - they like people to stay how they are comfortable seeing them." Paltrow says she decided to launch the Web site, which carries the tagline, "Nourish The Inner Aspect," "because I felt like I had a lot of really useful information that I was privileged enough to get, because I have this amazing, super, fortunate life."

Umm, yeah, it could be people don't get it. Or it could be that the site actually sucks and isn't appealing. Not saying that for certain, just putting it out there. And yes, thank you for rubbing it in that your life is amazing and fortunate and better than us "peons" and you split time between Paris, New York and LA as a kid.
