Will Gwyneth Paltrow's singing career take off?

OSCAR-WINNER, reputed hottie, and now singer – it’s difficult to describe Gwyneth Paltrow these days so I usually fall back on my old favourite... insufferable. Paltrow sang at the Oscars, the most cringe-making performance at the Academy Awards since her victory speech in 1999, and has now signed a record deal with the Atlantic label – the deal being she makes none. This follows her role as a washed-up country star – is there any other kind? – in the movie Country Strong and her performance in the TV smash Glee. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact she’s married to Coldplay star Chris Martin. I watched her sing at the Oscars and would say that she should stick to acting, except I also saw her acting in Sliding Doors. She should stick to sliding. Ladbrokes offer 5-1 for GP to have a No.1 single in the UK before the end of the year. Hills go only 9-4 so they are clearly covering themselves, as well as their ears. She’s 1-2 to release a duet with Coldplay.
