AceShowbiz - Gwyneth Paltrow addressed criticisms on her lifetyle brand Goop. Following the launch of her own magazine, the actress told The Hollywood Reporter, "I'm interested in criticism based on fact, not on projections. If you want to f**k with me, bring your A game."
After expanding into printed magazine, the mother of two revealed her next plan for her company, "We want to take Goop international, we want to get this TV show right, and we have a lot of key hires to make. And we are looking to open another store."
When asked if it would be an Oprah Winfrey-styled show, she explained, "No, what we are thinking of doing is a TV show with the working title 'The Radical Wellness Show'. I would be going into the field and talking to any number of doctors, scientists, civilians, people in crisis in Flint, Michigan, where there is something to uncover and confront about wellness. We would want it to feel more Vice-y in its vibe, but we're just in the brainstorming phase. We signed on with Ben Silverman's production company, Propagate, to help us formalize and pitch it."
Although she's very busy with her growing business, it doesn't mean that she completely gives up acting. "I went to Atlanta to do Avengers 4," she said. "So I'm in and out for that, and it's weird to go back and forth. We're growing fast, and balls are dropping all the time. But honestly, I was on set and thought, 'You sit here for two hours sipping tea, Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle are making me laugh hysterically - why the hell did I give this up?' "
Earlier this month, Gwyneth Paltrown crashed "The Late Late Show with James Corden" and confronted him over his harsh comments on Goop. "The cover features Gwyneth Paltrow lying down in mud," the host roasted Goop's magazine during his monologue. "I can't believe Gwyneth Paltrow beat out the competition to be on the cover of the new Gwyneth Paltrow magazine." Changing the name of the magazine to Poop, he quipped, "We actually fixed the cover to be more appropriate."
The actress suddenly appeared from behind the curtain and stood behind James Corden as he continued bashing Goop. "Hi, James. Just wanted to stop by," she said after cutting him off. "James, I mean, to be fair, I think you're being a little harsh. There are a lot of people that listen to the advice that we give in Goop."
