Gwyneth Paltrow Defends GOOP

Gwyneth Paltrow squeezes into a pair of J Brand “9612″ pencil leg jeans while meeting up with a few businessmen on Thursday (February 26) in New York City’s Financial District.

At the Bent on Learning charity event on Wednesday, she explained her vision for her holistic lifestyle website GOOP. “I’m not trying to be the next Martha [Stewart],” Paltrow said.

“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, 36, said. “I think that people like people to stay in their ‘box’ – they like people to stay how they are comfortable seeing them.”
