Did Gwyneth Paltrow swipe the idea for Goop.com?

A journalist and holistic website founder has slammed controversial healthy eating newsletter Goop.com, accusing the Oscar-winning actress of copying her idea.

Gwyneth launched Goop.com last year (08), where she provides wholesome living tips and cookery advice.

However, rival health website The Weekly Beet.com’s founder Mary Kate Hearon claims the actress stole her idea after she approached a friend of Gwyn’s.

“This is pretty scandalous. People deserve to know (Paltrow’s) idea isn’t her own – or creative, for that matter! . . . A few years ago, I had e-mailed Gwyneth’s best friend . . . when I was living in London. I asked her to e-mail Gwyneth The Beet because I was excited for her to read it since she was one of the few celebs into alternative medicine,” Hereon told The NY Post on Sunday.

She also claims the actress was cool to her when they finally met in person.

“The way she treated me was so scary! She was sooooooo nasty to me, it was scandalous! (Paltrow’s husband) Chris (Martin), the utmost gentleman, stood to shake my hand, but she smirked and was silent when I asked how her dinner was . . . I never thought in a million years she’d . . . create her own site very similar to The Weekly Beet . . . (Goop has) the therapies I’ve tried, the foods I love, the detoxes that work! A lot of the same stuff!”
