Celebrity Wedding Present

Who has the upper hand in various musician-celebrity marriages?

It Coldplay hitting town, Chatter got to thinking about front man Chris Martin and his wife, actress Gwyneth Paltrow. Given each spouse's considerable success, who really wears the pants in that marriage — and a few others?

Coldplay/Gwyneth Paltrow:

Coldplay has won four Grammys, including 2004 Record of the Year for "Clocks." Not content with mere critical success, the band has also sold more than 40 million albums worldwide.

Paltrow won a Best Actress Oscar in 1999 for her role in Shakespeare in Love, the last of a quick triumvirate of movies featuring her British accent — thus leading to the popular opinion that Paltrow is, in fact, British. Marrying Martin only confirmed this.

Since this momentous win, though, she's done almost nothing but frightening critical and commercial duds until this year's Iron Man.
Winner: Martin sits at the head of this table. That's what happens when you're one of the most popular musicians in the world and your wife plays a superhero's sidekick with approximately ten lines.

Seal/Heidi Klum:

Seal can't exactly be called a one-hit wonder, but we dare you to name a hit of his other than Grammy-award-winning "Kiss from a Rose" — a chart-topping single that achieved international fame thanks to its role in 1995's atrocious Batman Forever. We're still trying to figure out what else made it onto his 2004 greatest hits album.

Aside from being one of the world's most famous — not to mention successful — supermodels and, at 35 with three kids, still a prominent Victoria's Secret model, Klum hosts Project Runway, one of the most successful reality shows on TV. Her tagline, "You're either in, or you're out," is repeated by women and gay men around the world.

Winner: Seal, hands down. No matter how successful his wife ends up, nothing she does will ever trump the fact that he gets to go to bed with one of the most beautiful people in the world every night.

Madonna/Guy Ritchie:

The Queen of Pop has sold more than 200 million albums, has a net worth of close to half a billion dollars and has set more trends than all of her peers combined. Sure, she might have starred in some of the worst movies ever made, but did we mention she's worth half a billion friggin' dollars?

Ritchie, meanwhile, has directed three Brit gangster movies that no one can tell apart — RockNRolla being the latest — the pretty awful Revolver and one of the five worst movies of the new millennium: Swept Away...starring Madonna.

Winner: Madonna is finally divorcing the hack after almost eight years of him always standing two feet behind her, so who do you think?
