“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,” she said.
Stewart completely switched on this, however, during an interview with Net-a-Porter, via Page Six. She mentioned that she thinks that Paltrow should not speak on this subject at all as she is an actress. She then went on to add that if the actress was confident in her acting capabilities, she would not be trying to copy her.
