GWYNETH PALTROW - PALTROW: 'I DON'T WANT TO BE MARTIN'S YOKO ONO'

GWYNETH PALTROW refuses to interfere with her husband CHRIS MARTIN's band COLDPLAY, because she's scared of becoming his 'YOKO ONO'.

The actress can sing, and even performed with her late father BRUCE in 2000 movie duets, but she fears if their careers cross paths it could cause problems within the band and their marriage.

Paltrow says, "People ask if I will sing with the band or do a duet, but always in the front of my mind is the Yoko effect. I don't want to be known as the girl who split up Coldplay.

"Music is one area that he doesn't give me advice on because that's starting to encroach on each other's career. The sure way for a marriage to start hitting problems is when you start sharing careers as well.

"We have an understanding that our careers must be kept apart."
