Chris Martin Gets Cold Treatment in Beverly Hills

Mimixxx · 16-07-2008, 12:17 AM

No doubt Coldplay is like totally the coolest and most famous group around.

But that doesn't mean everyone knows who frontman Chris Martin is.

The rocker was at the Thompson Beverly Hills hotel on Saturday, apparently to meet up with some friends on the rooftop. (The band kicked off their summer tour in Los Angeles July 14.)

Unfortunately, Martin's name wasn't on the list at the elevator that takes patrons to the roof.

"A goon at the elevator wouldn't let him up," a source reports. "Everyone's like, 'This is the lead singer of Coldplay.' The goon wasn't rude, but he just asked him if he was on the list."

We're happy to report that said goon eventually got the go-ahead from upstairs to let the patiently waiting Martin through.

i luv it!

in LA no one cares if you're famous or not

CRYSTAL · 16-07-2008, 04:00 AM

in such a big places like LA if the other people said that he is Coldplay's Chris when the goon asked whether his name is in the elevator list then i think its great.

because LA people doesn't care who are big or not.

The City of Lost Angels.. Oh well - so many famous people there, I suppose it can be a bit confusing!

guyy · 16-07-2008, 04:50 AM

Well, just because he's the lead singer of THE MOST AWESOME BAND EV...er. Uh...that...doesn't mean he can go wherever he wants. Plus, there are a lot of famous people around there, and for Chris it's probably a nice treat to not get immediately recognized and ogled over.

What they don't mention is that the "goon" is also a NY Times writer.

wow. that really sucks. :/

I am glad the guy was doing his job, if it were me, I wouldn't have let him in either! 'Names not on the list, your not going in mate!!!' Could have been a terrorist to that guy for all he knew.

Well, in an odd way, that's a good thing. No one should get special ass-kissing treatment because they're famous.
