Gwyneth Paltrow

After Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin announced they were splitting up in 2014, Martha’s namesake magazine published a “Conscious Coupling” feature that highlighted “long-married” pairings. The Goop guru seemingly responded to the slight by sharing a recipe for “Jailbird Cake.”

Chelsea Handler

“I’m so happy that you liked my post well enough to emulate it,” Martha told Chelsea Handler after she copied her iconic selfie. “I do think my pool is a little bit prettier than yours and that my facial expression is a little bit more relaxed. Nevertheless, you are a beautiful girl.”

Felicity Huffman

Photos of Felicity Huffman wearing a green prison uniform left Martha less than impressed. “She should style her outfit a little bit more,” the domestic diva, who spent five months behind bars herself for lying about a stock sale, told CNN’s Brian Stelter. “She looked pretty schlumpy.”

Ryan Reynolds

During an appearance on Rent Free, Martha was asked if Ryan Reynolds was fun to hang out with (The two both own homes in Bedford, New York). “He’s not so funny in real life,” she revealed. “He can act funny, but he isn’t funny. Maybe he can get to be funny again … I’m going to get in trouble.”

Barbra Streisand

While speaking to Pamela Anderson for Elle magazine, Martha revealed that she’s penning a memoir. “It’s a huge challenge to do that and not be Barbra Streisand with 900 pages. I don’t want it to be long and boring,” she said with a laugh.
