Gwyneth Paltrow’s talks for a record deal with Atlantic Records have crumbled, the New York Post reported Monday, citing sources.
In March, the “Country Strong” star was reportedly close to a deal with the label to record a country album.
But a source said, “Atlantic bosses were very interested, and [Atlantic owner] Warner chief Lyor Cohen was very supportive. But then the talks halted and the deal fizzled out. There was a rumor that Paltrow wanted $1 million to sign, but that is a ridiculous figure. Atlantic is still interested in signing her.”
It is believed the Oscar winner was distracted by other opportunities in her busy career, including possible movie roles and her new cookbook.
There are also rumors she might turn up for a few surprise appearances on this summer’s “Glee” tour.
Paltrow’s rep said, “Atlantic was not the only company pursuing her, and she still has not decided if she wants to record an album,” adding, it “is still something she is considering.”
Paltrow, 38, is married to Chris Martin, lead singer of the band Coldplay.
41-year-old singer Gwen Stefani soaked up the Cannes sun as she went aboard a Luna mega-yacht. She showed off her amazing body in a little polka dot bikini. Son Kingston was seen running about the yacht as well.
She’s an amazing performer, I’ll give her that. Too bad I have to watch her in mute because that is the most annoying song I’ve ever heard. What? I said something nice first!

It seems like everyone in Hollywood is having a baby!
Except for the Black Eyed Peas queen. Right now, Fergie isn’t pregnant, but she and hubby, Josh Duhamel, may have plans to start a family… do they have babies on their mind?
“Oh yeah, of course. Not right this second. Not pregnant, for the record. But, yeah,” Fergie tells Hollyscoop.
While her bandmates are using the time off to work on solo projects, the singer is happy to have more time at home.
“We’re taking a break … getting more of that personal time,” she says. “Josh and I have gotten to spend a lot more time together this year than other years, which is great.”
In my opinion, if and when they have a Ferghamel (aka baby), it will be totally cute!
In case you didn’t know, the Black Eyed Peas won Top Duo/Group at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards this past Sunday (May 22).
Prince Will (actually, William Duke of Cambridge) will be go face-to-face with little bro, Prince Harry. The two are frequently seen in studly military uniforms…
But they will be wearing a different type of uniform, as they are scheduled to compete against each other in a game of polo!
The royal siblings will take each other on at one of their favorite sports as they compete for the Sentebale Polo Cup on June 12 near Windsor.
And there will be a special face in the crowd to witness the duel – Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. Suntanned and fresh from her memorable honeymoon in the Seychelles, Kate is set to be at the event.
The day before, Kate is scheduled to appear at her first official royal event, the Trooping the Colour ceremony that marks Queen Elizabeth’s birthday.
At the polo game, Harry, 26, will play for a team representing his charity Sentebale, which he established with friend Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to aid young people in the southern African kingdom. William, 28, will play for a team representing one of his patronages, Tusk Trust.
The Sentebale Polo Cup, which is sponsored by Royal Salute whisky, was to have taken place in Dubai in March, but was called off at the height of the turmoil caused by the Arab Spring uprisings in the region.
