Gwyneth Paltrow does not content herself with just acting, or her cosmetic contracts, or her TV show, or even with her website where she leaves tips on numerous aspects related to lifestyle. Paltrow has teamed up with celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson--who trains superstar Madonna, among other celebs--to launch an international chain of fitness gym, starting in Tribeca in January 2009.
Celebs frequently get involved with other entrepreneurial endeavors other than acting, where their image and their high-profile contacts allow them to engage in more interesting projects than the lay person. According to PopCrunch, “A source tells British newspaper the Mail on Sunday: Tracy and Gwyneth are out to make some serious money. She (Gwyneth) is convinced the studios will be a huge success.”
