Blake Lively's lifestyle website Preserve continues to get no love from other lifestyle entrepreneurs, as Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow allegedly snubbed the "Gossip Girl" actress for ripping off her lifestyle brand, GOOP.
According to a report in Irish Independent, the 26-year-old wife of Ryan Reynolds recently came out with her new lifestyle brand, Preserve. Comparisons have been made between the new Blake Lively lifestyle website and Gwyneth Paltrow's GOOP site, which the A-List actress launched in 2008.
A report from OK! Magazine said Blake Lively reached out to Gwyneth Paltrow to ask for advice in preparation of the launch of Preserve.
However, the GOOP owner allegedly snubbed requests for help with the Blake Lively lifestyle website, with a source even saying that Gwyneth Paltrow thinks the newcomer is "ripping her off".
The source also told OK! Magazine that Gwyneth Paltrow "considers herself in a different league." No comments have been formally made from Gwyneth Paltrow's end regarding the issue.
In Blake Lively's first Letter From The Editor released last month, some insiders noticed that the "Gossip Girl" lead star made an indirect diss at Gywneth Paltrow's lifestyle website. GOOP has been associated with promoting luxury items.
Blake Lively wrote about Preserve: "There's expensive stuff. Inexpensive stuff. And everything in between. But their value, is up to you. We may romanticise it, calling it treasure. What we're really saying is, we see worth on every level."
Prior to Gwyneth Paltrow's alleged disinterest with the Blake Lively's lifestyle website, the Preserve founder received similar negative comments from veteran lifestyle entrepreneur Martha Stewart.
According to a report from ABC News, Martha Stewart told Huffington Post: "I mean, it's stupid, she could be an actress!"
"I don't mean that facetiously!" she tried to clarify. "Why would you want to be me if you could be an actress?"
"I just did a movie yesterday, though-I can't even tell you about it-but I want to be Blake Lively," Martha Stewart said.
"Let her try," the lifestyle celebrity told Huffington Post of Blake Lively's lifestyle venture.
