Gwyneth Paltrow has defended her lifestyle website Goop.com following a barrage of unfavourable reviews.

The New York Times reported many critics found the 'new age' themes "fatuous and a bit puzzling". One reviewer for Toronto's Globe and Mail even pondered: "Why is it called 'Goop'? Perhaps 'Any Old Load of Rubbish' and 'Learn From Me, Ungrateful Peasant' were both taken."

But Gwyneth, 36, has hit back, telling People.com that critics just don't get it.

"I think the people who are criticising it or criticising the idea of it, don't really get it, because if they did, they would like it," said the Hollywood actress.

Goop.com, with its tagline "nourish the inner aspect" includes tips on dieting, exercise and healthy living.
