Gwyneth Paltrow has remained pretty mum about a possible singing career … until now. She revealed just before Sunday’s Academy Awards that she is currently mulling over a record deal.

“We’re talking about it now,” she told Access Hollywood on the red carpet. “So, we’ll see.”

Gwyneth attended the show to perform her Oscar-nominated song, ‘Coming Home,’ from the film, ‘Country Strong,’ which she said was her most nerve-wracking performance so far. “This [performance] feels hard, because the Grammys [were] so much fun and it was silly. This is very serious. I’m like, ‘Geez, it’s a serious song and I’m by myself up there.’ I hope it’s alright!”

Gwyneth has given fans a taste of her lovely vocal chops throughout the years, having charted a hit single with Huey Lewis on a remake of ‘Cruisin” from the film ‘Duets’ in 2000. She also happens to be married to Coldplay’s Chris Martin, who co-wrote ‘Me and Tennessee,’ a duet with ‘Country Strong’ co-star Tim McGraw, which is the new single from the film’s soundtrack.

The actress made her awards show singing debut at the CMAs last November, with a live performance of ‘Country Strong,’ the first release from the film of the same name. She also performed with Cee Lo Green at this year’s Grammy Awards on his huge hit, ‘Forget You.’ The Oscar-winning actress performed the rap star’s Record and Song of the Year nominated tune on ‘Glee’ in November, and reprises her role as substitue sex-ed teacher Holly Holiday on the March 8 episode of the popular FOX television show. She is set to perform a duet of Prince’s classic hit, ‘Kiss,’ with castmember Matthew Morrison, as well as singing lead on a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Landslide.’

When she was making ‘Country Strong’ early last year, Gwyneth had no idea it would turn into her making numerous appearances on awards shows to perform, as well as the possibility of hearing herself on the radio. “I just did the film and did the music expecting it to just be in the film,” Gwyneth tells The Boot. “I didn’t expect [former Sony Music Nashville chairman] Joe Galante of all people to say, ‘No, wait! We want to put this on the radio. We believe in you as a singer.’ And it was like, ‘What?’ I still feel like someone needs to pinch me, it’s so bizarre.”

Being accepted into the music side of the entertainment business and garnering praise for her a foray into music, especially in the country field, it’s not surprising the actress/singer has already been approached to make a full album. “I really loved doing this, and I discovered a whole side that I didn’t really know that I had,” explains Gwyneth. “It was an amazing process. I would never rule anything out, but my favorite part was getting to have Vince Gill sing with me. I love that sort of harmonizing. I think I’d rather sing backup with someone than put myself front and center.”?

At this point, we know very little about “Iron Man 3″ except that “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” director Shane Black will direct the film. Will we finally see Tony Stark go up against Mandarin? Have we seen the last of War Machine? These are the questions that bother us so around Splash Page HQ.

When MTV News managed to catch up with Pepper Potts herself, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, we made sure to ask her what she knows about the next chapter of the armored Avenger’s big-screen adventures. Apparently, she knows about as much we do…

“I haven’t met [Shane Black] yet, no,” Paltrow told MTV News.

“[Black is a] great writer,” she continued. “I’ll really miss Jon Favreau, but I’m sure Shane will be great.”

And while it’s no surprise that Paltrow hasn’t had a chance to meet with the recently announced “Iron Man 3″ director, the actress said she’s not even sure if she’ll be in the third film at this point.

“I don’t even know if I’m in it, so we’ll see,” she said.

Of course, before the rumors start flying, it’s worth noting that it’s very, very early in the “Iron Man 3″ development cycle at this point. With “Thor” and “Captain America: The First Avenger” arriving in theaters this year and “The Avengers” bringing the whole Marvel movie universe together in 2012, there’s still a lot of time — and plot points — between now and the next time Tony Stark goes solo on the big screen.

Gwyneth Paltrow just came off of a show-stopping, onstage collaboration with Cee Lo Green at the Grammy Awards, but the actress says she already has someone in mind for her next musical duet: Jay-Z.

“I think we’d be a good combination,” Paltrow told Tim Gunn on the Oscars red carpet Sunday (Feb. 27). “He is a genius — and I’m his biggest fan.”

When Gunn asked Paltrow how her pick would make her husband — none other than Coldplay frontman Chris Martin — feel, she replied with a smile, “I think very happy.”

Paltrow is probably right, since Jay-Z and Martin are not only friends but also musical collaborators. The rocker is featured on the song “Beach Chair,” from Jigga’s 2006 album “Kingdom Come,” and last September he joined the Brooklyn MC at his co-headlinging Yankee stadium show with Eminem to perform “Blueprint 3″ track “Forever Young,” filling in for fellow U.K. singer Mr. Hudson.

Paltrow, who arrived at the Oscars in a stunning gold dress by Calvin Klein, is also a nominee and performer at tonight’s ceremony. The star will perform “Coming Home,” which is up for best original song and featured in her latest movie, “Country Strong.”
