Gwyneth Paltrow: Country Music's Most Wanted Newbie

It was bound to happen.

Music executives are hot for Gwyneth Paltrow.

Sources tell me...

Record labels have come calling. "She's been approached," says one source.

Not only does the Oscar winner plays a former country music star trying to revive her career in the upcoming flick Country Strong, she also performs live tonight on the Country Music Awards.

One music executive says it appears her team is putting something into place. "They debuted the [Country Strong] song this summer and have just gone to country radio," the exec said. "This is almost three months prior to the movie coming out and she is performing on the CMAs.

"It is risky to go to country radio that much before the film. If they reject her, then the movie is DOA."

A source close to Gwynnie says, "She would never say never, but it's not something she is yet seriously considering."

Paltrow appears on four songs on the movie's soundtrack, which also features big-time country stars Faith Hill, Hank Williams Jr., Trace Adkins and Lee Ann Womack, among others. And one of our favorites, Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum is among the songwriters.

"They have surrounded her with beloved country people," the music exec says, "so not only will they accept her, but she can have more of a career in that world."

And then of course, she's married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and she appears—singing and dancing—on next week's episode of Glee. As Jane Lynch recently told us, "She's a quadruple threat. We knew she could act, we knew she was gorgeous, but she sings and dances amazingly well, too!"

Should Gwyneth cut her own country album? Would you buy it? Sound off below.

Gwyneth Paltrow's Country Music Debut Divides Nashville

Wednesday night, Gwyneth Paltrow makes her country music debut at the CMA Awards.

The star of the forthcoming Country Strong (out Dec. 22), she sings no less than four songs on the movie’s soundtrack, released by RCA Nashville on Oct. 26, which was executive produced by Tim McGraw and features contributions by some of Nashville’s most successful songwriters, in demand session players and even Taylor Swift’s producer, Nathan Chapman, who won the album of the year Grammy for 2008’s Fearless.

In fact, as tempting as it might to be to dismiss the project altogether as a hokey after-thought to last year’s Oscar-winning Crazy Heart, the makers of the film and the music went to great lengths to establish credibility, not just in enlisting Music City’s big guns, but by bringing the production to Nashville and hiring locally. A set source tells THR that even Paltrow’s husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, was involved in shaping some of the music, particularly the songs his wife was singing on (Martin, however, is not credited on the album).

But good will can only take you so far, and as news of Paltrow’s CMA performance made the rounds, plenty of Nashville insiders greeted it with a roll of the eyes. “There’s definitely skepticism around town,” says one high-level exec. “The feeling is that she’s taking a slot that would otherwise go to one of our acts – be it a new artist or someone who’s actually nominated – just so ABC can garner some ratings.”

There’s no doubt Paltrow is a major draw for a TV audience (she also appears on Fox’s Glee next week singing a clean version of Cee-Lo’s hit “F--- You”), but the question remains: can she sing? One musician who worked on Country Strong answers with an unequivocal yes. “She has a really good voice,” says guitarist and singer-songwriter Neal Casal, who plays a member of Paltrow’s movie band and had a hand in showing her how to properly strum a guitar (see him in the video for the title track below). “I think people will be really surprised.”

We’ll all find out soon enough. The CMAs air Wednesday at 8 p.m. on ABC.
