And Gwyneth Paltrow is in the recording studio with none other than Ray of Light producer William Orbit. The fact that Paltrow is a singer will not surprise those who have seen the movie Duets.

Said Orbit: “We bumped into each other and got talking and it turned out she was keen to do some recording. We've already done a track which will make a brilliant first single.”
