Ono! Gwyn's going to sing with Coldplay

Remember, it's 'The Sun' after all... personally I think it's rubbish but who knows.

I have some chilling news for Coldplay fans - Gwyneth Paltrow is to sing on the band's third album.

Oh dear, the name Yoko Ono springs to mind. The Oscar-winning actress has convinced fiancé Chris Martin to let her record backing vocals and is even taking singing lessons. Gwyneth enjoys singing and has actually impressed critics in the past with her voice, performing with Huey Lewis in the movie Duets three years ago.

She plans to sing on at least two tracks for Coldplay's next album. One pal said: "Gwyneth can't wait. She loves singing, it is almost as much of a love as acting is. We all tell her she has a great voice but she still wants to take singing lessons so she's just perfect. She's not trying to barge in on the band but it may well add an extra dimension to Coldplay's music."

But privately the rest of the band - bassist Guy Berryman, drummer Will Champion and guitarist Jonny Buckland - are concerned about Gwyneth's growing influence. A source close to the band told me: "There is no major problem at the moment but it's obvious there are tensions bubbling away underneath. All three of them, particularly Guy, are miffed that Chris has become this megastar while they still remain the sort of blokes you'd walk past in the street. Chris has always been very egalitarian about the band but it gets on their nerves when people refer to Coldplay as 'Chris Martin and Co'. They don’t mind Gwyneth as a person but are worried she is consuming Chris's head a bit much. Just don't mention Yoko Ono to them."
