Gwyneth Paltrow is miffed by Colin Firth's 'conscious uncoupling' gag after he made the reference while announcing that he had dropped out of his role voicing Paddington Bear in a new movie.

A source spilled the beans that the Academy Award winner was not happy at Firth for making fun of her and Chris Martin's divorce, the Mirror reported.

A source asserted that to compare the 'Paddington Bear' film to the duo's marriage was just silly in Paltrow's opinion.

Chris Martin of Coldplay:The rarest of PDAs! Chris Martin surprises wife Gwyneth Paltrow with a kiss at Coldplay concert By ANDREA MAGRATH (MAIL ON LINE)

The last time they were caught kissing on camera was almost a decade ago.

Notoriously private couple Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow put on an extremely rare public display of affection at his concert last week.

The couple, who refuse to walk the red carpet or pose for pictures in public together, thrilled the audience at Coldplay's Miami show with a loving kiss.

Endearingly, the actress seemed to be completely disarmed by her rocker husband, blushing and covering her face as those around her cheered and wolf-whistled in approval.

It is unknown what prompted the artist to let his guard down, but his wife appeared to appreciate it.

The couple have spent some time apart recently as Coldplay tour the US and Gwyneth films the latest Iron Man installment in North Carolina, so perhaps Miami was a rendezvous for the busy pair.

Paul McCartney: Paul McCartney, Coldplay to star at Grammys

 

(AFP) – 1 day ago 

LOS ANGELES — Paul McCartney will join Coldplay and Rihanna among the artists playing at next month's Grammys, organizers for the music industry's annual awards show said Thursday.

The former Beatle will take the stage along with the Foo Fighters, Bruno Mars, Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on February 12.

Iconic US band The Beach Boys announced last month that they expect to appear at the Grammys, ahead of a 50th anniversary reunion tour, although they were not included in the line-up so far put out by Grammy organizers.

McCartney, 69, already has 14 Grammy awards from his long career, and is nominated at this year's show for Best Historical Album for "Band On The Run."

Paul McCartney: McCartney MusiCares Show: James Taylor, Norah Jones, Coldplay Featured (Showbiz 411)

Roger Friedman

Literally everyone in the music biz wants to be part of MusiCares’s Person of the Year show with Paul McCartney on February 10th in L.A. I can tell you that James Taylor was first to sign up. He gets to sing “Yesterday,” which is like the greatest honor. Coldplay, Norah Jones, and the Foo Fighters are still deciding their songs. There are a lot more names in the bin, too. But NOT names elsewhere reported: Rihanna, Jason Aldean, Kelly Clarkson,Bruno Mars, Nicki Minaj, and Taylor Swift. This was someone’s misinformation.

What I do know is that Paul is putting on a real show after he’s received his tribute, with Diana Krall and her band helping out as they do on the album. Then Paul makes an appearance on Sunday on the Grammy Awards. I’m surprised he hasn’t tapped Roberta Flack to sing, as well. Her wonderful “Let it Be Roberta” CD comes out that week, too, and it’s all Paul’s songs.
