Is Gwyneth Paltrow suggesting that Chris Martin might be in need of a cold shower?

The Oscar winner, looking fit and utterly fabulous in a teeny bikini, today joined the growing-by-the-minute list of celebs who have taken the Ice Bucket Challenge and donated to the ALS Association. Earlier this week the foundation, which is striving to find a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease, announced that it had received more than $15 million in donations since July 29, when the #ALSIceBucketChallenge started catching fire online.

As befitting an ecologically minded star such as herself, Paltrow made sure that the grass got soaked (nearly) as much as she did.

But before making a splash, Paltrow nominated none other than Chris Martin, as well as close gal-pals Cameron Diaz and Stella McCartney

"challenge accepted @tracyandersonmethod @chefjoseandres @marthastewart," she captioned the Instagram video featuring her IBC, which ended in squeals and a mad dash away from the guy wielding the bucket. "NOW I challenge @camerondiaz Chris Martin and @stellamccartney to the #ALSicebucketchallenge. join me in donating to alsa.org."

Coldplay, indeed.

Also today, Nick Jonas (wearing a shirt, boo), Ed Westwick (who aimed super-high and nominated Queen Elizabeth II) and Patti Stanger (who took a page from the Charlie Sheen playbook and doused herself with cash) have also particpated. Check 'em all out right here!
