Paltrow defends advice
LONDON: Gwyneth Paltrow has dismissed criticism of her health and lifestyle website as the media’s way of not understanding it. Paltrow has been giving out advice on topics like diet and exercise on Goop.com, which also features a weekly newsletter, but she has now come under attack from the press for her articles.
“Why is it called Goop? Perhaps ‘Any Old Load of Rubbish’ and ‘Learn From Me, Ungrateful Peasant’ were both taken,” the Da-ily Express quoted a Canadian newspaper as saying.
But the Iron Man star has refused to let the comments have any effect on her, and she insists that the advice she has been sharing have been passed on to her by others. “I think the people who are criticising it (the website) or criticising the idea of it, don’t really get it, because if they did, they would like it.”
“I find it interesting because it’s a harmless new-sletter that goes out each week. I give advice 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.”
