Did you know that Gwyneth Paltrow is still trying to make a music career happen? I thought she was “over” that by now. After she filmed Country Strong and recorded several songs for the film, Goop was on a big “I want to be a legit singer now too” phase. She even managed to goop her way into live singing performances at a country music awards show, the Grammys AND the Oscars. All of that was 2010-11. I thought she was done with it after the Oscars – in which she didn’t flat-out embarrass herself, but she wasn’t really “good” either. But, according to Star Mag, Goop still wants to SING! And by God, she’s going to drag down her BFF Beyonce along the way!
It’s no secret that Gwyneth Paltrow fancies herself – cough – a singer as well as an actress. So while hubby Chris Martin and her band, Coldplay, will jam at the London Olympics, Gwyneth wants to book secret gigs around London… in pubs!
“She wants to invite her VIP pals, including Jay-Z and Beyonce,” a source tells us. “Whether they’ll grab a mic and share the stage with Gwynnie remains to be seen, but whenever she decides to sing, it will be one very packed pub indeed.”
Especially if Beyonce and Jay-Z join her for “Ain’t No Sunshine,” one of her favorite songs.
“She really wants to make a go of a singing career,” says the source. “Right now she’s decided not to get Chris to help her. She doesn’t want to ride his coattails.” Who needs Chris Martin when you have Jay-Z and Beyonce in your corner pub?

I didn’t add that “cough”!! That’s Star Mag’s “cough” and it’s hilarious. As for Goop playing London pubs… I wouldn’t be surprised. I wouldn’t be surprised if she tried to make the Olympics all about GOOP. I wouldn’t be surprised if she begged Beyonce and Jay-Z to come to the pub with her to sing – or rap. Remember how Goop raps? Remember:
So… prepare yourselves, Londoners. Because it’s about to get Goopy up in the hizzy. Goopy and very, very elitist. Last thing: if I EVER EVER EVER hear Gwyneth Paltrow cover “Ain’t No Sunshine” I will personally fly to London and take a big GOOP on her busted acrylic tray.

I’m not a fan of Goop, but I thought that video of her rapping was kind of hilarious. For such a snooty b*tch, looks like she occasionally doesn’t take herself that seriously.

I agree. I remember when she was pregnant she went on Oprah and was talking about how Chris Martin was in love with her bigger bust and made a rap about it. She then went on to rap the rap, complete with a part about “her big double D’s” and I loved her for it.
As pretentious as she is I do believe she has a sense of humour about a lot of things, including herself.

I just love Gwynnie, as in I would just love to hate her, except I actually feel a little bit sad for her, because she seems to be totally oblivious to the peasant’s opinions of her. I wonder if she ever Google’s herself? And if she cares?

Some people just can’t take a hint can they? Wouldn’t she have a recording contract by now if she was good. Covering songs isn’t going to make her a singing sensation and pub gigs seem pretty low rent for GOOP. Do they only serve organically made beer?

I’m leaving the UK right now… Or I’m not going to the pub for the rest of the summer, just in case GOOP rocks up. Ugh.

Exactly. She amuses me with all her try-hard.
I still suspect her husband cut off her allowance. So it forced her to work again. Which really is beneath her since she is British now. (*huge*eye-roll*)
But since 2010 she has been all over the place. Hustling EVERYTHING to make a dollar.
Yet, it seems to escape poor dear Gwyneth… that is not 1998.
She is not the sweetheart of the movie world.
Pick a field, hire the PR to push you and work the hell out of it.
But I feel that the music industry is not remotely interested in making her the next “IT” girl. She is 20 years too late for that.

Rita Wilson made a album or whatever they call it now.
I never understood why with her having 3 major music players in her inter most circle she has not been able to get it going. I don’t recall Bey or Jay being vocal about her singing. You would think Jay being friends would help a girl out. But all three of them, Chris, Bey, Jay are giving her the cold shoulder.
I mean people on youtube are getting music careers going. But not her. WHY?

She’s the female version of John Hamm’s character from 30 Rock. For the love of god, will someone please tell this talentless hack she sucks at everything?

She needs to let this go. She can hit notes fine, but her voice doesn’t have a pleasant tone, and it’s kind of flat and nasal. If she were really that good, it would have happened by now.

I’m actually blown away if this woman is still pushing the singing thing. My god, ‘Duets’ came out in 2000 and crashed so hard I’m pretty sure you can still see the impact crater. You’d think Goop would have crawled away from the music industry with her tail between her legs and never looked back after that disaster.

She’s good enough, alright, vocally anyway. But her problem is that she’s trying to do this the old fashioned way: a recording contract and then singles.
Sorry, but that ain’t gonna happen. She should do what Rebecca Black did: get the best producers and release independently your catchist single on youtube. That’s the way to score a recording contract these days.

gwyneth really isn’t a good singer – her voice is very thin and nasally.
but her “dancing” is the best thing ever.

She looks so old in that one pic! Much older than her age. Those cleanses are doing her skin no favors.
