Gwyneth Paltrow, 37, has fallen in love with country music capital Nashville, Tennessee.

Paltrow, who was recently in the city of Nashville on a movie, quickly came to understand how Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban and Taylor Swift have come to call it home.

She took to her blog GOOP.com to say: “I just spent a few months living and working in Nashville, Tennessee which was an incredible experience. As I’m apt to do, I researched, ate, drank, tried, and asked my way around the city ’til I found the best spots it has to offer. Never have I met such warm people, heard such good music, eaten so much fried chicken … I could go on and on. It’s pretty easy to get to if you live in the good ol’ US of A as it’s kind of smack dab in the middle (well, not really, but almost) and is so worth a trip. It’s pretty damn great.”

Paltrow, an American who lives in London with her husband Chris Martin of Coldplay and their two children, listed bars, restaurants and hang-outs she discovered while there.

Simon Monjack was gutted after viewing his late wife Brittany Murphy on the In Memoriam segment of last night’s Oscars.

The British husband of the tragic star who died suddenly last December at the age of 32 had wanted to attend after-parties but claimed he was shut out of them, RadarOnline reports.

He said: “I was only going to the parties for [Brittany's mother] Sharon so she could see friends and be part of the grieving process for her. And it’s my 40th tomorrow so I thought it might be nice to celebrate after all the pain. In the end I would not have gone anyway as seeing Britt on the big screen so young and gone was just too gut-wrenching. She loved James Taylor and In My Life was her favourite song.”

Monjack was told the Vanity Fair and E! parties were full. “I just think it’s a shame since they’ve said that Brittany was their favourite interview and one of their favourite people.”

Murphy starred in Clueless, Girl Interrupted, and 8 Mile.

Talking about the kissing scenes, she said to E! Online: “It’s just something we did. In this story, it’s so not a romantic thing. It’s just something that they just do.”

She added: “We had so many other really crazy things that we were intimidated by, like, we had a performance that day.

“So when that came up on the schedule we were like: ‘Whoa!’ But then: ‘Alright, whatever.’ It was sort of just like another thing.”
