GWYNETH PALTROW - GWYNETH.S MARRIAGE FEARS

OSCAR winner GWYNETH PALTROW is becoming increasingly insecure about her relationship with COLDPLAY frontman CHRIS MARTIN - because the rocker still hasn't bought her an engagement ring.

The SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE stunner - previously engaged to BRAD PITT and BEN AFFLECK - is understood to have voiced concerns to friends that she is "jinxed" when it comes to marriage.

One pal told British website THIS IS LONDON.com, "The absence of a ring nearly a month after they got engaged has become an issue and has triggered a lot of soul-searching for her.

"She is terrified that this relationship could be going the same way as all the others. She's really keen to get married, but she can't understand why Chris is taking so long over the ring."

But the actress may have to get used to her lack of jewellery - a friend of Martin explained that a "big rock" is not his style.

He adds, "He's just not into the Hollywood razzmatazz. That's probably putting him off the whole idea."
