Paltrow 'recording with Orbit'

Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow has reportedly recorded a series of tracks with producer William Orbit.

The Sun reports Paltrow - who sang in the 2000 flop movie Duets - has been writing and recording with Orbit, who produced her pal Madonna's Ray of Light album.

A source tells the publication: "Gwyneth has messed around with Chris (Martin, her husband and Coldplay frontman). She would not work on music with her husband - she feels like she would be treading on his toes.

"When they are together they like to be away from work. But Gwyneth has got a fantastic voice."

Paltrow and Duets co-star Jerry Lewis hit the top of the Australian music charts with Cruisin' in 2000.
