In Martha Stewart's world, hating Gwyneth Paltrow is like little black dresses or the leather handbag. It will never go out of style. That was made clear this week when Martha jumped off the top bunk of better living to serve some extra-lean, aged beef to Gwyneth during an interview with Net-a-Porter, excerpted by Page Six. When asked what she thinks about Goop, Martha said “She just needs to be quiet. She’s a movie star. If she were confident in her acting, she wouldn’t be trying to be Martha Stewart."
Martha also fired a couple shots from her icing gun at Taylor Schilling, star of Orange Is the New Black, while reminding everyone she knows firsthand how to properly serve time, saying, “They could have done that so much better. That girl is not good enough, the lead actress.”
Maybe the cruelest dig of all was Martha making the fresh fish of celebrity lifestyle blogging, Blake Lively, aware that she finds her so unthreatening she couldn't be bothered to fillet her. Stewart assigned that task to her Senior Vice President Kevin Sharkey, who said, “I don’t get the sense she’s credible. She’s enthusiastic, but she’s not credible.”
Who knows why Martha picked this time to go Taylor Swift-meets-Walter White on anyone trying to get a slice of her homemade pie. She does know a thing or two about shady dealing. Maybe she's got a stake in Net-a-Porter, and is banking on the fact that celebrity feuds will always be fashionable.
Whatever the case, Martha used the interview to remind everyone that when it comes to blonde WASPs, she's still the queen bee.
