Gwyneth: Goop Haters Just Don't Get It

(Newser) – Back off, Goop detractors. Gwyneth Paltrow is tired of people sniping about her advice-dispensing website. "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 tells People. The latest salvo came in an article in the New York Times Sunday, which noted that many can't quite figure out what Paltrow is aiming for with the new-agish site.

"I think that people like people to stay in their 'box,'" said Paltrow. "They like people to stay how they are comfortable seeing them."

I think it's kind of sweet :) I wrote about it on Supereco -- http://www.supereco.com/news/2009/02/27/gwyneth-gives-the-scoop-on-goop/ -- in my opinion, while it's a bit out of touch with the consumerism, it's still got some nice bits.

What's the fuss? Gwyneth got a movie coming out or something? Or did she just want to increase traffic?
