October 4, 200421 yr from the BostonHerald.com Martin confronts mortality By Inside Track Monday, October 4, 2004 CHRIS MARTIN, aka Gwyneth Paltrow's husband, feels that naming his baby (Apple Blythe Alison that is) was a lot like naming his band, Coldplay. ``What I call my baby is none of anyone's business,'' he tells Details in their October issue. ``When we first told everyone we were Coldplay, they addressed us like we just said we bought a house on Mars. I think it's a cool name so why does it matter?'' The yoga devotee also tells the mag that being married to Gwynnie and fronting the hit Euro band is all it's cracked up to be. ``My life is so bleeping privileged,'' he admits. ``I get so sad all the time that it has to end someday.'' At least he's realistic.

October 4, 200421 yr The article is not the long actually. Everyone on the list got relatively the same amount of text. If I find a full copy of the article, i'll post it here.
October 4, 200421 yr Here it is, Enjoy CHRIS MARTIN ROCK STAR, HUSBAND AGE:27 LAST YEAR'S RANK:22 He struck first off the coast of Australia, sending a local photograher scurrying for his life. Then, three more times: on a Hawaii highway and twice in London. "It's been reported that I hit people," says Coldplay mouthpiece Chris Martin, a schoolboy smirk checkmarked on his face. "But I've never hit anyone." Not that the devout peacenik, vegetarian, and yoga freak doesn't daydream about braining the paparazzi: "There are these f------ dickheads who come and sit outside your house," Martin says, a red cloud spilling into his pale cheeks. "Occasionally they turn you into this ugly creature." Two years ago, when Coldplay released their seminal, Grammy-hogging A Rush of Blood to the Head, Martin had no idea the album's title would be so prescient. Back then, he was just the perma-scruffy leader of a precocious band with their first hit (the inescapable "Yellow") trying to leg out a career. Now he's a head-turning celebrity, fronting the biggest European rock act since U2. Even after Coldplay pulled down $23.7 million in 2003, Martin was still a bit player on the glitterati circuit. But when he joined the Mt. Crushmore of Paltrow men, alongside Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck, and then fathered Gwynnie's child--a baby everybody this side of Baghdad knows is called Apple--things got goofy. "But let me assure you," he says, his eyes sharpening, "I still smell just as bad as the next person." In fact, these days Martin probably smells a bit worse. He cracks open his PowerBook, and for a second you're sucked into a galaxy of computerized Post-Its: scraps of lyrics, song titles, and production notes for the most anticipated album of 2005. But far more pressing is the tiny purple icon screaming from the left-hand corner fo the screen: GET DIAPERS. In a world of Fifi Trixibelles and Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Qs, Apple Blythe Alison is nuthin'. But the press teed off on the fruity moniker. "F--- 'em," says Martin. "What I call my baby is none of anyone's business. When we first told everyone we were called Coldplay, they addressed us like we just said we bought a house on Mars. I think it's a cool name, so why does it matter?" Currently, Martin's in New York, where he's convened the Coldplay boys--Will Champion, Guy Berryman, and Jonny Buckland--at the Hit Factory to work on their third album. Paltrow often swings by the studio, with Apple in tow as long as the guitars aren't turned up too loud. And when things are slow going in the control room, Martin skips downtown to check in on his daughter. "My life is so f------ privileged," he says. "I get so sad all the time that it has to end someday." Not that Martin is dabbling his eyes with euros, it's just that death--in five minutes or 60 years--is a constant in any conversation with him. Even to the point where he has the participants in the inevitable tribute album mapped out in his head ("Jay-Z is a must," he says). But at this point Coldplay's still got their own masterwork to worry about. "This has got to be sh---hot stuff," he says, picking at the silver band on his ring finger. "Having a baby makes you prioritize things," he explains. "And it's why I won't waste time on something that's not 10 times better than what we've done before. When you've been given as big a chance as we have, you can't f--- it up."
