Gwyneth Paltrow is being paid £2million to sing one three-minute song in a movie.
It will make her the highest paid actress or female singer ever for a tiny cameo appearance. The two million deal is a lot more than the £2,000 cut husband Chris Martin gets for singing one Coldplay song.Gwyneth's pay cheque comes for just one day's work on new film Every Word Is True which is being shot next year reports The Sun.
Gwyneth plays American singer Peggy Lee and will sing What Is This Thing Called Love in the opening scene of the film. Then she can collect her things and go home.
A senior executive on the film said: "No actress has ever earned this sort of dough for just one day's work.
"And no singer, not even Barbra Streisand, has earned this for warbling one song. But we feel the money isn't an issue. When you're talking about someone as beautiful and iconic as Gwyneth making her filming comeback after having her baby, then it's the performance that counts. She will set up the movie perfectly with a superb glittering performance."
The movie is a star-studded biopic about legendary American author Truman Capote. Gwyneth will feature in it for the opening 90 seconds.
Since the birth of Apple in May, Gwyneth has been reluctant to agree to any work. Her new film Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow is out soon but was filmed before she had her daughter.
Gwyn said: "I'm going to take a break for a little while. Reports of my retirement are exaggerated. But when you have a baby, it reorganises your priorities. I want to go back to work but right now I just want to be with Apple. I feel great and the best thing about being a mum is her. She is just the most gorgeous, sweet, lovely girl in the world. I even love her stinky diapers."
