Chris Martin breaks up with Gwyneth Paltrow, writes happy song.
Chris Martin, the mellow frontman of UK pop band ‘Coldplay’ has broken up with his long-time companion Gwyneth Paltrow. The couple had been together for 5 years.
Paltrow is well-known for many films in which she plays the ‘ice queen’ love interest with one critic describing her as having “the consistent expression of a lemon tart.” She initially aroused media interest for her romances with a number of top Hollywood heart-throbs. Martin was in line after Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck and possibly Ashton Kutcher.
Often described as having a ‘wooden’ acting style she was awarded the Oscar for best actress in 1999. She gave an acceptance speech in which she cried, wept and spoke with a snotty nose for the entire 5 minutes.
In a surprising turn for the singer-songwriter, the new album for the band is filled with up-beat melodies and rocking life-affirming tunes.
“Why be so sad?”, Martin says. He is now considering a role as an afternoon DJ for a British radio station.
