CHRIS’ EX FILES!
Dakota faces the music
It was an awkward night for Chris Martin when he and girlfriend Dakota Johnson ran into not one, but two of his exes at Ellen DeGeneres’ 60th birthday bash.
According to fellow guests, the lovebirds looked tense while in the presence of his former flame Jennifer Lawrence, 27, and things got worse when ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow insisted the Coldplay singer, 40, and Fifty
Shades-Freed actress, 28, hang out with her and fiancé Brad Falchuk at the Hollywood party.
“Gwyneth thrives on attention and was really controlling the situation, and it was obvious Dakota had had enough,” a well-placed source tells us. “She held Chris’ hand and looked into his eyes all night. Dakota could see Gwyn frowning, but it only made her more affectionate to Chris.
“She really likes him and doesn’t want a feud with Gwyn to ruin things. However, she’s not going to let her man’s ex call all the shots.”
Meanwhile, Gwyneth, 45, made sure she stole the spotlight ht by passionately kissing Glee creator Brad, 46, in front of photographers.
An insider explains, “Gwyn’s genuinely pleased Dakota is making Chris so happy, but she was determined not to be outshone. As they were walking in, she asked her fiancé to give her a big FiftyShades- style kiss just to show how in love they are. It was cringey, but it worked.” ”
Party shots
Organised by Ellen’s Australian wife Portia de Rossi, the do was also attended by Jennifer Aniston, Oprah Winfrey, Adele, Drew Barrymore, Pink, Reese Witherspoon, Chrissy Teigen and Kim Kardashian West.
The chat-show queen joked that her party may be responsible for the global tequila shortage, quipping, “I don’t want to blame anyone in particular, but I saw someone sitting at the bar drinking all night long. I’ll just give her first name, Oprah.”
