IN THE mid-90s it was the most rock 'n' roll address in London. But with the dullest couple in showbiz set to move in, it looks like the party's finally over for Supernova Heights.
For drippy Coldplay singer Chris Martin and his equally wet fiancee Gwyneth Paltrow have their hearts set on making the £3.5million Belsize Park mansion their home.
An insider tells us: "They're desperate to find somewhere to live and sent someone round first to view the property.
"They want to settle in London both for work and because a lot of their friends are based there."
The couple looked round the three-storey mansion - which has four bedrooms, a mosaic bath, its own recording studio and a gym - earlier this week and are about to put in an offer.
The pad first gained notoriety in 1996 when Oasis star Noel Gallagher and his ex-wife Meg Mathews bought it for £1.2million.
The house - which Noel named after the Oasis classic Champagne Supernova - was soon notorious for its wild parties attended by the likes of Liz Hurley, Jude Law and Kate Moss. After Noel and Meg moved out, the father of ex-Hollyoaks star Davinia Taylor bought the house for his daughter and she still lives there with hubby Dave Gardner.
Noel once said of his old gaff: "I can look back on Supernova and say it was a good time. But I made some fundamental mistakes in my life - like letting my house turn into a nightclub."
But if Chris, 26, and 31-year-old Gwynie get their way, the most rock 'n' roll activity that's likely to take place at the address is a spot of vegetarian cooking.
Our source continues: "They've been looking at properties in Belsize Park - some of which aren't even on the market - but this place is perfect for them.
"It's got a lot of room, which is ideal for having a family, is secure and obviously is great for parties."
But they'd better move quickly as David Baddiel and his wife Morwenna Banks have also expressed an interest in the property.
The one thing that may put Chris and Gwyneth off is the fact that Noel's little brother Liam - who labelled Gwyneth "gawky" and called Chris a "nobhead student" during a rant at a Teenage Cancer Trust bash in March - will be one of their neighbours.
But as it's nearly the season of goodwill we think it would be a nice gesture if they took round some mince pies as a peace offering.
