With all her recent musical performances, it was just a matter of time.

Gwyneth Paltrow has signed a $900,000 music deal with Atlantic Records. Paltrow, who got a few people talking about her singing performances in Country Strong and Glee and this year’s Grammy and Academy Awards, will release her first full length album.

Her album is expected to be in the country-pop realm, but Paltrow has also mentioned that she would love to record with Jay-Z.

Atlantic Records may actually be a good match for the actress-turned-singer since Atlantic boasts a diverse talent roster ranging from the Zac Brown Band and Brett Eldredge to Sean Paul, B.o.B, T.I. and Kid Rock.

No word on when her album will be released. Guess we all have to wait with bated breath.

Sophia Bush & Gwyneth Paltrow Are Related To Victims Of Arizona Shootings

The heartbreaking shootings near Tucson, Arizona has left U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords in critical condition, killed six people and wounded many more.

One of the deceased victims, 9-year-old Christina Green, was the second cousin of One Tree Hill star Sophia Bush.

Sophia has taken her grief to Twitter: “There are no words to explain what my cousin’s family is going through in Arizona. How can this be? Violence is never the answer. She was my 2nd cousin… Devastating.”

Christina was born on another day of national tragedy, September 11, 2001. She even once appeared in a book called 50 Faces of Hope that showed children born on 9/11 and which was sold to benefit 9/11 charities.

Christina’s mom, Roxanna Green, told The New York Times: “From the very beginning, she was an amazing child. She was very bright, very mature, off the charts. She was the brightest thing that happened that day.”

Rep. Giffords is the cousin of Gwyneth Paltrow. Gwyneth sent her love in a statement: “Although I have never had the pleasure of meeting congresswoman Giffords, my thoughts and prayers are with her and her family as well as the other victims of this horrible act of senseless violence.”

Gwyneth Paltrow Credits Her Hubby For Overcoming Her Postpartum Depression

Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow is experiencing continued success with her career, having recently received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But not everything has been smooth sailing in her private life. After her second child, Moses, was born in 2006, Paltrow said she had reached the lowest and weakest point of her life.

“I felt like a zombie. I couldn’t access my heart. I couldn’t access my emotions. I couldn’t connect,” Paltrow is quoted in the February issue of Good Housekeeping. “It was terrible, it was the exact opposite of what had happened when Apple was born. With her, I was on cloud nine. I couldn’t believe it wasn’t the same. I just thought it meant I was a terrible mother and a terrible person.” 

What helped Paltrow overcome this debilitating condition? She credits her supportive musician husband, Chris Martin. She says of her Coldplay frontman, “I can depend on him. He makes me laugh. He’s really appreciative of me. You know, he makes me feel special.”

She says it was her husband who recognized that she might be suffering from postpartum depression after having her second child and was the first to use the actual term.

“About four months into it, Chris came to me and said, ‘Something’s wrong. Something’s wrong,’ ” Paltrow recalls. “I kept saying, ‘No, no, I’m fine.’ But Chris identified it, and that sort of burst the bubble.”

“I thought postpartum depression meant you were sobbing every single day and incapable of looking after a child,” Paltrow says. “But there are different shades of it and depths of it, which is why I think it’s so important for women to talk about it. It was a trying time. I felt like a failure.”

Thankfully, Paltrow has beat the depression and she says she is loving her role as a mother.

Gwyneth Paltrow is at this very moment receiving the 2,427th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in front of Madame Tussauds on Hollywood Boulevard.

Paltrow, who won an Oscar for her role in Shakespeare in Love in 1999, is getting the honor today in connection with the January 7 release of her latest film, Country Strong, co-starring Tim McGraw who is also at the ceremony.

Paltrow was recently seen at the 44th Annual CMA Awards showing her chops to the country music industry and the world. She sang the title track to her new movie (which you can watch here) in which Paltrow plays fallen country star Kelly Canter.

VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY.

 Gwyneth Paltrow is a brave woman! She took the stage at the Country Music Awards Wednesday night and performed the title song from her upcoming movie Country Strong live in front of millions and millions of people.

She actually sounds good enough that some music execs are considering signing her up for a record deal. And some country singers are even impressed with her. 
“She looked like she’s been doing this her whole life,” Entertainer of the Year award winner Brad Paisley told Access Hollywood. “When did she find the time to go out and learn how to be a singer? I’m floored. Forget about acting. Hang with us. We’re nicer.”

Gwyneth Paltrow Was Almost A Casting Couch Victim

The casting couch may still be alive and kicking in Hollywood. Who knows how many actresses fall prey to it because it is an unspoken topic usually. But Gwyneth Paltrow has opened up about her own experience with this topic.

In a new interview with Elle, Paltrow speaks about a time when she was promised a role if she would have sex with the person in charge.

Paltrow says of the incidence: “When I was just starting out, someone suggested that we finish a meeting in the bedroom. I left. I was pretty shocked. I could see how someone who didn’t know better might worry, ‘My career will be ruined if I don’t give this guy a blow job!'”

Obviously Paltrow’s career does not seem to have suffered when she stood up for her rights, but Paltrow admits she was offered better roles when she was younger.

When Elle asked this 38-year old actress how she feels about the kinds of roles available to women today, Paltrow said: “Kind of dejected. There’s a lot that’s okay, but there’s little that’s really good, especially for someone my age. Sometimes you find out that something you really liked is going to someone 10 years younger. I find it heartening that Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock have been able to find and create amazing projects.”
