I’ve been suspecting for a while that there’s trouble in paradise between Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. In fact, I’ve bet my friend Alissa that they will split by the end of 2010.

Consider the evidence:

1. First of all, they are never together. When you see them in pictures they’re always living it up with other people. 

2. Of late, Gwyneth has been pictured numerous times with a scowl on that pretty puss of hers. And she’s been spending a lot of time with Madonna, who just split from Guy Ritchie. Needing a shoulder to cry on?

3. This one’s the kicker. It’s a standard rule in Hollywood that when friends start giving sound bytes on the status of your marriage, it’s usually only a matter of time until the split is official.

Mario Batali, famous chef and Gwyn’s cohost on cooking show Spain…On The Road Again recently said in Ok! Magazine in response to rumors about their potential divorce:

“Not true. I see them all the time. I don’t think they’re having problems…If you meet their kids, their kids are cool. And their kids have the fascination with new and open-eyed experiences. They’re delightful. Which means they’re being taken care of at home by their parents. That’s the key. They’re really stay-at-home parents in a way that only rock stars and Academy Award winning actors can be. They’ve got a time to choose when they work, and they don’t have to work all the time.”

Notice he’s talking about the kids, not the parents. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire, people!

Alissa, dinner is totally on you.
