Gwyneth Paltrow business comparisons are unfair: Jessica Alba

Actress Jessica Alba is tired of stories pitting her against other female celebrities, who have launched successful lifestyle companies. Alba's achievements are often compared to those of Gwyneth Paltrow, who launched her Goop lifestyle newsletter in 2008.

Asked how does she feel when people compare her with the Oscar-winning actress, Alba said, "What I think is unfair is to lump actresses together. People aren't lumping (part-time restaurateurs, designers, brand leaders and entrepreneurs) Justin Timberlake and Ashton Kutcher together."

"They do other businesses. I think it's expected that when you get success in one area, you're supposed to evolve and try to do something else - especially in business, and especially if you're a man," Alba, 34, said. The ‘Sin City’ star's natural lifestyle firm The Honest Company has been growing exponentially since its launch in 2012, and was recently valued at USD 1.7 billion.
