GWYNETH PALTROW - PALTROW HITS THE ROAD

OSCAR-winning actress GWYNETH PALTROW has temporarily ditched her life of superstar glamour - to travel in a tour bus with her boyfriend CHRIS MARTIN and his band COLDPLAY.

The 30-year-old SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE beauty, currently taking a break from her acting career, has joined her British beau, 26, on the road as he plays various dates around America.

A source says, "It's obvious that she wants to be a real part of his life. It's not like she's taking private jets and limousines to meet up with him."

Martin dedicated the song AMSTERDAM "to my dad and my lady" at the band's San Francisco, California, concert on 30 May (03); and a fan says that at the 2 June (03) Los Angeles show Martin walked up to his belle and serenaded her with the tune MOSES.

The source adds, "I think the guys in the band genuinely like her. She was talking and laughing with them."
