A petition has been launched on change.org in reaction to Coldplay’s headlining slot at this year’s Glastonbury Festival.

Road Trip Bromance: James Corden And Chris Martin Share A Bed In Carpool Karaoke [Video]


James Corden Chris Martin

We take it all back. We honestly thought James Corden's Carpool Karaoke couldn't get any better than the Adele edition. We were wrong. Coldplay's Chris Martin has never made us laugh this much before as he made his debut on the segment as part of Corden's CBS program 'The Late Late Show'.

James CordenJames Corden and Chris Martin make the best team

So it started off with Chris literally hitching a lift to the Super Bowl in San Francisco where he's due to perform this weekend. James is willing to help him out, but clearly doesn't realise how many miles they need to cover. They're Brits in the US after all, and not so used to such massive distances people have to travel by road. Another thing they don't understand is the Super Bowl itself, which Chris hilariously tries to explain and ends up mashing together the rules of several different sports including baseball and tennis.

Gwyneth PaltrowGwyneth Paltrow maintains a strong bond with the father of her children

When celebrity marriages break-up, the word 'amicably' is thrown in there more often than not; a word that usually only fuels the cynic within us. However, Paltrow and Martin appear to be truly still amicable, baffling the media with photos of the pair taking vacations and day trips together with their children Apple, 11, and Moses, 9, in the months following their separation.

Jennifer Lawrence was spotted at iHeartRadio over the weekend and the tabloids are having a fit over it. But why would it matter that a celebrity attended a well known musical event, you ask?

If Music Was Chris Martin’s Saviour, Coldplay Turned Royal Albert Hall Into A House Of Worship


Chris Martin Coldplay Gwyneth Paltrow

Chris Martin is a man saved; by music, that is. The Coldplay musician has endured a tough year plastered over the tabloids with his recently divorced ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, propelled by the unforgivably grating 2014 buzzphrase, "conscious uncoupling."

In the midst of the gossip and gloom, Martin and his Coldplay bandmates released Ghost Stories, a melancholy album of electronica dabblings suffused with the inevitable emotional turmoil of a relationship breakdown. The British quartet brought their latest chart-topping record and a selection of other hits to London's Royal Albert Hall on Tuesday night for a stripped-back and intimate performance.

Inviting fans at the sold-out show to be as close as workably possible, Coldplay managed to make the gig feel a tenth of the size; an illusion helped by the seeming absence high vis-clad concert wardens, a photo pit or heavy onstage theatrics. Instead, the band placed an emphasis on the stripped back aesthetic to give a reassuring "calm after the storm" vibe.

Gwyneth Paltrow Wanted To Keep Her "Conscious Uncoupling" Private


Gwyneth Paltrow Chris Martin

Gwyneth Paltrow’s “conscious uncoupling“ has been the talk of the internet for about two weeks now, possibly because she used the term “conscious uncoupling” to describe it. But it turns out that the Iron Man actress had intended to keep her divorce from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin a secret for as long as possible. According to the New York Post’s Page Six, Paltrow would have been perfectly happy to keep up appearances and give the impression that the marriage was just fine for a few more months. Apparently, Martin was the one who thought it was “wrong” to lead people on.

Gwyneth Paltrow
Paltrow did not want to make a lot of noise around her divorce.

A source told Page Six's Richard Johnson: 'It was his idea to announce the split. They had drifted apart, and there was no chance they'd get back together, so he felt it was wrong to keep pretending.'

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin recently went through what Paltrow described as “a conscious uncoupling”, but it was all just as civil as it sounds apparently. According to the Iron Man actress, speaking for People Magazine, there are no grudges between her and her soon-to-be-former husband.

Gwyneth Paltrow's Mother "Begged Gwyneth Not To End" Her Marriage To Chris Martin


Gwyneth Paltrow Chris Martin Blythe Danner

It's a separation which has gripped the news for almost a week but we're still no closer to knowing the truth about the inner workings of the Martin-Paltrow marriage, let alone their split. Things haven't been made any clearer either with Martin's father commenting on his son's separation from award winning actress Paltrow. Meanwhile sources suggest Paltrow's mother is less than supportive of her daughter and son-in-law's decision.

Martin's father, Antony, appears to be taking news of his son's separation well and maintains the separation was "amicable" and the two are "still great mates". However, Paltrow's mother would disagree and is less than happy about her daughter's decision to end her decade long marriage. Actress Blythe Danner, Paltrow's mother, is allegedly "really upset" sources close to the 71-year-old told Us Weekly

Danner allegedly "begged Gwyneth not to end it, that he's a good man," adding "she loves Chris".  It seems, if the reports are indeed true, Paltrow ignored her mother's advice as she and Martin announced their split on Tuesday (25th March). The source claims "Gwyneth had to do what she felt was best".

Gwyneth Paltrow & Chris Martin Split: Actress Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin announced this week that they were splitting up. Well, instead they described their split as a "conscious uncoupling," a phrase that drew scorn and mockery from the internet. The pair had reportedly been testing their separation for a year and finally decided to go public. In an entry on the Iron Man star's website, the couple explained that being parents to their two children was the priority for them right now.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have called an amicable end (now infamously termed a “conscious uncoupling”) to their ten year marriage. Sad news for a pair with two young children, but instead of mourning the end of their relationship, we thought that we’d celebrate the years that they did spend together.

chris martin divorce It always seemed as though Paltrow and Martin were from totally different worlds

The world was surprised when rumours that young Hollywood starlet, Gwyneth Paltrow, ex-fiancee of Brad Pitt and ex-girlfriend of Ben Affleck, and Coldplay lead vocalist, Chris Martin, then in his mid-twenties, were an item. Gwyneth was an Oscar winning actress, while Chris was the alternative rock star from Devon, who hadn’t lost his virginity until he was 22. The pair hit it off when Paltrow attended a Coldplay gig in 2002, three weeks after the death of her father. They both felt a spark after meeting backstage, and Martin helped Paltrow deal with her grief. He even wrote her a song, a little ditty you may have heard of, called, ‘Fix You’ as well as the heartbreaking ‘Swallowed in the Sea’, which contains the lyrics ‘And I could write a song a hundred miles long, Well that’s where I belong and you belong with me.’

Gwyneth Paltrow Chris Martin

Gwyneth Paltrow has one less thing to stress about after Vanity Fair's promised article about her supposed infidelity to Coldplay husband Chris Martin has not surfaced.

The Thanks For Sharing star flew into a panic back in May this year (2013) and emailed various friends saying, 'Vanity Fair is threatening to put me on the cover of their magazine. If you are asked for quotes or comments, please decline. Also, I recommend you all never do this magazine again' according to the New York Times. The reason why? Well, several sources told Page Six that VF were seriously looking into Gwyn's relationship with real estate billionaire Jeff Soffer, a friend of hers who the publication think is closer to her than first appears.

Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter insisted that they would be running a story on her alleged adultery this December explaining to the Times: "We wouldn't be doing our job if there wasn't a little bit of tension between Vanity Fair and its subjects. In any given week, I can expect to hear from a disgruntled subject in Hollywood, Washington, or on Wall Street. That's the nature of the beast."

Jay-Z Surprises Unsuspecting UK Fans By Taking The Tube With Chris Martin


Jay Z Chris Martin Timbaland

Forget chauffeur-driven limousines, Jay-Z finds the easiest way to travel to his London gigs is by Tube - and we have to say, we're in agreement.

Like many city-dwellers, the 'Holy Grail' singer doesn't see the point of trying to get round busy London in a car and has instead opted to hit the subway to attend his O2 Arena show on the UK leg of his Magna Carta world tour. He was joined by Chris Martin of Coldplay, Timbaland and a 10-person entourage as he boarded the London Underground, rendering several nearby passengers in complete shock.

This isn't the first time Jay-Z has opted for efficient but unexpected subway travel; in 2012, he made acquaintance with a grandmother named Ellen on his way to a show at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn. The woman appeared not to recognise him as she asked him if he was famous and asked what he did for a living. The name rang a bell for the lucky old dear, though, and their adorable conversation was documented in a film called 'Life+Times' on Jay-Z's culture website.

But even the most tedious journey can be made fun, if there are friends along and lucky for him, Mr Carter was joined on the way by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and collaborator Timbaland. Actually, it was probably lucky for the travelers on the tube that day as well, who will now, at the very least, get to brag that they’ve ridden in the same train car as Jay Z.

And, in the age of instant communication, the first (and sometimes second) hand accounts have already started flooding in, although the accounts do seem to vary. One user mentions Rihanna: “Jay-Z, Rihanna and Timberland all took the London Underground to their concert last night.... Love that.”

Gwyneth Paltrow On Cheating: Forgive And Forget?


Gwyneth Paltrow Chris Martin

Gwyneth Paltrow has spectacularly opened up about her personal life by revealing how she'd deal with infidelity; simply put, she'd forgive and forget!

The 'Iron Man' actress has always been rather open about her home life; less so than many celebrities, but she still loves to divulge. This time, the star has told Refinery29 that, should the problem of cheating arise in her marriage with Coldplay singer Chris Martin, she'd be sure to work it out in whatever way she could.

"I think that if the idea of being committed to someone is important to you, you begin to value certain parts of your social life over another," she explained. "No couple is the same, and as such, every couple takes on different challenges. I would like to think that I would be forgiving and/or forgiven, but I can't give an honest answer as I haven't really experienced that."

Coldplay Live 2012

Coldplay live CD/DVD Cover

Albums of Note... Coldplay’s Live 2012 album shows a band far more at ease with themselves than their previous live release, from 2003. The Live 2012 package includes both blu-ray and CD. The footage is punctuated by behind-the-scenes interludes and these excerpts showcase each band member’s enthusiasm for their live shows as well as revealing how the material from Mylo Xyloto evolved over time and culminated with them band playing to a vast stadium audiences across the globe. “Live 2012 includes some nice musical moments... the low-key piano intro to 'Yellow', a guest appearance from Rihanna during 'Princess Of China', and the stripped back intimacy of 'Us Against The World'. All of the other elements of big choruses and sing-along's spanning the entire Coldplay back catalogue are present and correct… and Chris Martin's voice seems to have found a renewed strength to cope with the massive venues the band now fills.”

Coldplay Album Number 6 On The Way, Chris Martin Says


Coldplay Chris Martin

Dismissing rumours that Coldplay were going to be taking a three year hiatus, front man Chris Martin has spoken to the Daily Star to set the proverbial record straight. 

"I've been writing songs and I'm so fired up about the band's future." Chris said, "I'm fortunate to do what I do and no way do I want to stop. This three-year break idea only came about because I said at a gig in Australia that we might not be back there for three years. That's probably true, but that's just how a world tour works. No chance are we taking a three-year break."

Having been going strong and almost non-stop since 1996 now, what keeps them fired up and making music? Well, according to Martin, it's charity that keeps them motivated and inspired. "If we don't work hard we make less money to give [children's charity] Kids Company. We're very spoiled and that's a constant motivator to keep going. Our work with the charity is ongoing. We just tried to buy a building for them near our studio in London, but got gazumped... It was probably Radiohead that outbid us."

Mumford & Sons ITunes Set Attracts The Stars


Mumford And Sons Emma Watson Simon Pegg Chris Martin Adele One Direction Lana Del Rey Plan B

When Mumford & Sons performed at the iTunes Festival, they probably didn't expect some of the U.K's biggest stars to attend, but that's exactly what happened according to The Sun.

Adele, Chris Martin, Simon Pegg and Emma Watson were all in attendance as the folk-pop quartet bashed out tunes from their latest album, Babel. Company indeed! "We've been all around and now we're home, it feels so good," said Frontman Marcus Mumford. "This is our album launch party, celebrate with us." The band have been touring for years now, and experienced some tough times in some of the far corners of the earth, so they'll be glad to be playing in front of home crowds again. A review of their Roundhouse gig in The Telegraph says: "The show's highlights were when the band loosened their grip on the anthemic jugular. A shimmering Timshel was played unplugged, and the band displayed an enviable mastery of the crowd, who fell deathly silent." Their new album, Babel, which the band describes as "an advert for our live shows" has received mixed reviews, to put it lightly. The Guardian gave their follow up to the incredibly popular debut album, Sign No More, 2 stars. But over in America, where the band is making significant inroads, The Huffington Post described it as "a joy".

The iTunes festival represents 30 days of free music in London, with fans vying for tickets on a competition basis. Acts include One Direction, Lana Del Ray and Plan B.
