Gwyneth Paltrow is a singer now. She did a musical where she sang in a twang about double-wides. And then she did Glee. And then she sang at the Grammys with CeeLo, and then she sang at the Oscars too. She’s been singing all over the place, and I guess the world has just given in on the whole “Should we really consider Gwyneth a singer when her singing voice isn’t really all that great?” debate. So, with that in mind, consider this: Glee creator Ryan Murphy is writing a musical for Gwyneth and one of her former BFFs (before she found Beyonce), Maya Rudolph. Now, Maya has a great voice. Dame Goop? Eh.
Ryan Murphy and Gwyneth Paltrow are reuniting. Sure, we’d love to see her reprise her Emmy-winning role on Glee, but… Murphy has even bigger plans for them. He wants to make another movie together. It’s been five years since he directed Paltrow in the big screen adaptation of Augusten Burroughs’ bestselling memoir, Running With Scissors.
“We want to do a musical together,” Murphy told me at the Emmys. “An original—I want to write an original movie for Gwyneth and Maya Rudolph, both of whom I’m great friends with.”
He smiled, “That’s all I will say.”
Hey, that’s enough to get us excited.
Perhaps Murphy will include a boozy scene or two for Paltrow. “I loved Country Strong,” he said. “I love it when she’s drunk and on the floor spitting up pills.”
But before a Paltrow pic, Murphy will shoot The Normal Heart, a movie coproduced by Brad Pitt about the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, based on Larry Kramer’s semi-autobiographical play of the same name. Cameras are set to roll in June in New York City and at gay summer vacation destination Fire Island.

If I was Maya Rudolph, I would be insulted. She and Goop grew up together, you know, so she could probably tell stories about Goop being a massive pill even when she was young and pre-celebrity.
As for Dame Goop and her singing abilities, I submit this into evidence. Bitches Exhibit #1:
