REESE AND GWYNNIE IN KITCHEN CATFIGHT!
MOVE INTO COOL COOKWARE MAKES OLD PALS’ BLOOD BOIL -SOURCES
IN A mano-a-mano battle between two Oscar winners, Reese Witherspoon wants to muscle in on Gwyneth Paltrow’s turf as a lifestyle guru, insiders said — and Gwyneth is fit to be tied! “Reese wants to expand her brand beyond acting, her clothing line and book club, and the kitchen is her prime target,” spilled an insider. “Gwyneth has heard about
what Reese intends to do and she is not pleased. She can’t believe Reese would encroach on her territory like this!” Reese, 44, is consumed with creating her own business empire and sources said she doesn’t care who gets in her way! The “Walk the Line” Oscar winner has already racked up successes with her Draper James clothing line and feels expanding into other areas is the way to go — even if that puts her into territory already claimed by Gwyneth! “She’d love to offer kitchen gadgets and appliances for sale and she’s already working out the details with brand-name manufacturers,” added the insider.
With her Goop brand running into trouble, sources said Gwyneth — who nabbed an Academy Award for 1998’s “Shakespeare in Love” — considers
Reese a legitimate threat.
As The National ENQUIRER has reported, 47-year-old Gwyneth’s wellness company has been blasted for making unsubstantiated health claims. What’s more, her Netflix series, “The Goop Lab,” is on the verge of getting axed, according to sources, and she’s recently been mocked for peddling a Goop candle that smells like her “vagina.” “Reese is already boasting that her brand is way more down-to-earth than Gwyneth’s. She wants to appeal to women who think Goop is too left field and weird, even silly,” the insider snitched. “She sees a real opportunity in this market and is going to go for it with everything’s she’s got!” Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow did not respond to requests for comment.
