If your were spiraling into an existential crisis thinking you had to choose between lifestyle gurus Martha Stewart or Gwyneth Paltrow, snap out of it. Martha told Mario Lopez on Extra the following: "I love Gwyneth. All of a sudden we're having a feud? Where does this stuff come from?"

That stuff comes from her quote earlier this month on Bloomberg TV, as reported by our sister site Eater National: "I haven't eaten at Gwyneth's house and I've never seen how she lives, but if she's authentic, all the better....She's a charming, pretty person who has a feeling for lifestyle. She wants to be a lifestyle arbiter, fine, good. I think I started this whole category of lifestyle." See those quotes here.

But Stewart clarified, "There's room for American makers, lifestyle gurus and experts," and reiterated, "I love Gwyneth."
