Alright, alright, I guess I just want to see new outfits, then! Hehe :P

 

hahah well i wasn't saying that clothes doesn't thin out..just not that fast is all...and yeah it would be kinda cool...

I'm so damn excited for the Grammy's on Sunday!!!!!

 

I can't stop thinking about it.

I even asked it off work just so i can watch them thanks to coldplay.

:D :D :D :D

 

They better go home winning all seven...

America loves Coldplay.

 

 

okay, maybe i'm being a bit too optimistic, but i don't care..

They deserve it.

haha u thought coldplay was going to win all of them maybe just like 6 or 6 1/2...

I was watching E! news just now and they qouted Gwen recently saying "Me and Chris have never walked down a red carpet together and we never will" "If that means were not together than HA HA" She said this to Elle magazine according to E!

 

On another note... I will be in LA this night and was wondering if anyone has info on what you can see of the red carpet stuff?

Another beaten subject that just won’t seem to die is the state of her relationship with husband Chris Martin. When asked why they are never pictured together, Paltrow says, “It doesn’t behove us to be a public couple. He certainly doesn’t want to be that.”

 

She adds, “I mean, we’ve never walked down a red carpet together, and we never will.”

 

The March issue of Elle UK hits stands out on Wednesday.

Viva La Lawsuit: At the Grammys??

 

You know that Gwyneth Paltrow’s husband, Chris Martin, is nominated for a bunch of Grammys this Sunday with his group Coldplay. Their song, "Viva La Vida," is tipped to win big as is the album it comes from.

 

But Martin and his bandmates may be looking over their shoulders this Grammy weekend. The reason is that a lawyer representing musician Joe Satriani is sending teams of process servers all over town to hand them a plagiarism lawsuit.

 

Now, don’t shoot the messenger here: Satriani is claiming that Coldplay lifted his 2004 instrumental, "I Just Wanna Fly," for the basic melody of "Viva La Vida." Coldplay disputes this, and has issued a rebuke on their website.

 

But that hasn’t stopped Satriani or his attorney Howard King of King Paterno et al. The firm claims that Coldplay has dodged being served, and that the Grammys are the easiest forum at which to strike while the iron is hot.

 

King says, "We have warned their British lawyers that we have hired a fleet of process servers lined up to dog the band everywhere they go this weekend in the hopes of serving them."

 

King even promises to have camera crews roaming around with the process servers to get the whole thing on tape.

 

What’s Coldplay’s way out of this mess? Maybe the easiest thing would be to just accept service and let a court decide what happened with "Viva La Vida."

Good god, will these motherf*ckers ever stop? AT THE GRAMMYS, oh come on!

 

This Satriani is the biggest asshole I've ever seen:

 

-he's jealous about Coldplay's great work

-he can't accept that he's not famous

-he uses dirty methods to get money

-and not even that sacrifices him, no, he even wants to kick Coldplay in front of thousands of people to get a little bit attention

Will lawsuit force Coldplay to duck Grammys?

 

Wonder if Gwyneth Paltrow can sing a mean version of Coldplay's Viva La Vida? She may have to at this weekend's Grammy Awards.

 

The reason? The lawyer repping Joe Satriani is sending teams of process servers to the show to hand Coldplay a plagiarism lawsuit.

 

As we've reported in the past, guitarist Joe Satriani is suing Coldplay for copyright infringement for their Grammy-nominated song Viva La Vida, claiming the 2008 track copies "substantial original portions" of his song If I Could Fly, which was released in 2004.

 

Coldplay have remained mainly mum on the subject (Satriani says, "They just wanted this whole thing to go away"), although they did post a denial of any wrongdoing on their website.

 

Do Coldplay wish they could fly?

 

However, according to Fox News, since filing the lawsuit on 4 December 2008, Satriani's attorney Howard King claims that Coldplay have evaded being served with papers - and in his view, The Grammy Awards are as good a place as any to get the job done.

 

Says King, "We have warned [Coldplay's] British lawyers that we have hired a fleet of process servers lined up to dog the band everywhere they go this weekend in the hopes of serving them." King even discloses that camera crews may be accompanying the process servers to document the proceedings.

 

Whatever your opinion on the matter is, you have to hand it to Satriani - he's sticking to his guns on this one. In the parlance of The Sopranos, perhaps it's time everybody had a little "sitdown" before this really gets Viva La Loco.

 

Update: As this story was going to press, it was announced that Coldplay will be profiled on a segment on 60 Minutes in the US in the hour preceding the Grammy Awards.

In light of this, do you think they'll perform Viva La Vida at the awards? I was originally hoping to hear one of their less-played (Strawberry Swing?!), but I'm starting to think playing VLV would be a good way to say to Satriani that hey, this is OUR song.

that would be BRILLIANT!! I would LOVE to see Chris sing the living crap out of Viva!! Just belt it out to the rooftops! :D

Joe Satriani May Give The Grammy Red Carpet A Little Something Extra This Sunday

 

 

Joe Satriani's copyright-infringement lawsuit against Coldplay—who, the guitarist claims, ripped off his song "If I Could Fly" on the Grammy-nominated title track from their Grammy-nominated album Viva La Vida—is still supposed to proceed, but there's been one problem: The process servers who are supposed to serve Coldplay with the j'accuse outlining the terms of the lawsuit haven't been able to catch up with Chris Martin and his merry men just yet. So what's a lawyer to do? How about unleashing those process servers on a splashy red-carpet event that his client's target is sure to be at, thanks to said target maybe picking up a boatload of awards that evening?

 

But that hasn’t stopped Satriani or his attorney Howard King of King Paterno et al. The firm claims that Coldplay has dodged being served, and that the Grammys are the easiest forum at which to strike while the iron is hot.

 

King says, "We have warned their British lawyers that we have hired a fleet of process servers lined up to dog the band everywhere they go this weekend in the hopes of serving them."

 

King even promises to have camera crews roaming around with the process servers to get the whole thing on tape.

 

Now, given that the news comes from Fox 411's notoriously factually challenged Roger Friedman—who, true to form, refers to the Satriani song as "I Just Wanna Fly" in this particular news item—King could have been saying that he was going to process his client's credit card, or that he was just about to return a serve at a tennis lesson and could he maybe call Friedman back later. But wouldn't the whole idea of a process server crashing the Grammys' red carpet be kind of hilarious in the RIAA's post-litigation era? At the very least, it would scare the collagen out of Lisa Rinna.

 

For those of you who need a refresher course in the dispute, here is the accusatory video:

All Coldplay? Fearless Grammy picks 2009

While many of the nominees reinforce what we’ve come to expect, the 51st Grammy Awards roundup managed a few surprises with both the artists selected and the ones seemingly snubbed. Grammy’s former darling Alicia Keys is notably absent in key categories, and there’s a bare minimum of former “American Idol” contestants clogging up the works.

 

Last year’s Amy Winehouse sweep cleared the way for Duffy and Adele, each with her own unique set of retro pipes that rock the lush ’60s sound. Meanwhile, Lil Wayne grabbed nominations in top categories without dumbing down his politics. Former Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant may win a Grammy yet, with his inspired partnership with a woman who knows a thing or two about genre crossing, Alison Krauss.

 

And then there’s Coldplay.

 

Who will win? Who should win? Ree Hines and Helen A.S. Popkin share their thoughts.

 

Album of the year

“Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends,” Coldplay

“Tha Carter III,” Lil Wayne

“Year Of The Gentleman,” Ne-Yo

“Raising Sand,” Robert Plant & Alison Krauss

“In Rainbows,” Radiohead

 

Helen: If there were any justice in the world, the coveted album of the year award would go to oft-overlooked Lil Wayne for “Tha Carter III.” But I’m looking for a different kind of justice this year, thus I’m picking U2’s bastard lovechild Coldplay.

 

Mr. Gwyneth Paltrow (frontman Chris Martin) is threatening to call it a Coldplay day sometime-not-soon-enough, so if finishing at the top of their game helps make that a reality, I say bring on the trophies. Give them the Grammys. Give them a few VMAs, too. Give them the change from the bottom of my pocketbook. Baby Bono and friends can have all the lovely parting gifts they want if they’ll just go away.

 

Ree: I share your vision of a Coldplay-free future, but I’m upping the ante and rooting for a Coldplay-free awards night, too. I mean, yeah, Brian Eno gets props for fine-tuning them into the best Coldplay they can be on “Viva La Vida,” but they’re still the same pack of derivative rockers that never seem to rock.

 

As for the rest of the runners, Lil Wayne would make for a worthy winner with his most creatively cohesive release to date. This isn’t the year for Radiohead.

 

Helen: Yeah, Grammy’s not giving it up to the guys who gave their music away. No way. No how.

 

Ree: True. So that leaves Ne-Yo, who’s standing in Alicia Keys’ rightful spot, and the unlikely paring of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. While I know you, my esteemed colleague, consider that one little more than an NPR pick, I think it’s the ultimate dark horse. Not only is it one of my favorites of the year, Krauss is a Grammy magnet with 21 gold gramophones collecting dust in her digs. And let’s face it; the honor’s long overdue for Grammy-less Plant.

 

Record of the year

“Chasing Pavements,” Adele

“Viva La Vida,” Coldplay

“Bleeding Love,” Leona Lewis

“Paper Planes,” M.I.A

“Please Read The Letter,” Robert Plant & Alison Krauss

 

Helen: The only thing close to fresh in this category is M.I.A. Why I still remember when I first heard this track — and it wasn’t on the “Pineapple Express” soundtrack. I pulled up next an SUV blasting “Paper Planes,” which is usually mad-obnoxious. Instead, I was all, “What is that is that enchanting mélange of cash registers and gun fire?” M.I.A should win, but won’t. You know who will?

 

Ree: Let me guess. Coldplay?

 

Helen: Yeah, but at the risk of ruining my cool kid status, I’m ashamed to admit the affection I have for “Viva La Vida.” This is one song that benefits from Martin’s melancholy crooning —despite Eno’s heavy-handed production — it’s a treat.

 

Ree: It’s like I don’t even know you anymore.

 

Anyway, for me, the real contenders are Leona Lewis, who deserves some credit somewhere, Plant and Krauss, and M.I.A. Once again, I’m calling it for Plant and Krauss. “Please Read the Letter” is the best track off my best album pick, so it’s a natural. If not, I’d hand this one to M.I.A.

 

Helen: For the record, I’d be both shocked and awed if M.I.A wins this.

 

Song of the year

“American Boy,” Estelle, featuring Kanye West

“Chasing Pavements,” Adele

“I’m Yours,” Jason Mraz

“Love Song,” Sara Bareilles

“Viva La Vida,” Coldplay

 

Helen: Song of the year? Didn’t we just do this one?

 

Ree: No that was record of the year, which is the nod for artists and producer types. Song of the year is all about the songwriters, or so they say.

 

Helen: Oh, yeah. OK, well Estelle’s packing Kayne West, and that’s always a good Grammy omen (unless you’re up for album of the year, of course). Sara Bareilles’ souless “Love Song” isn’t worth an iPod commercial… and don’t get me started on Jason Mraz. “I’m Yours,” with its sweety-pie emasculated dance hall beat makes me want to do violence.

 

So after much thought and consideration, I’m calling this one for Coldplay.

 

Ree: Sigh. Paging Ms. Keys! You’re needed in the song of the year category. I mean, really, where’s “Like You’ll Never See Me Again”? Makes no sense. Given what we’ve got? I’ll reluctantly say singer-songwriter Bareilles should get a little love for “Love Song.”

 

Best new artist

Adele

Duffy

Jonas Brothers

Lady Antebellum

Jazmine Sullivan

 

Helen: And the winner is … Coldplay! And why the heck not? That band is about as “new” as the actual nominees for best new artist!? Every year I’m baffled by this category — just what definition of “new” are we operating under?

 

Ree: Well, these selections are made under Grammy’s oh-so-subjective criteria, which goes something like this: “(This award goes to a) new artist who releases, during the Eligibility Year, the first recording which establishes the public identity of that artist.”

 

So, according to the old Grammy guard, the Jonas Brothers really came into their own over the last year. Katy Perry? Not so much.

 

Helen: There is just no way anybody’s letting the Jonas brats win — not after Brother Nick Jonas broke the heart of America’s Sweetheart, “Hannah Montana.” Even if the Hanson-wannabes were fresh new-talent-wise (heh), they’re surely jinxed.

 

Ree: Nah. That was before Miley Cyrus’ racy cell phone shots, her Vanity Fair cover and her feud with Nick’s new Miley, I mean girlfriend, Selena Gomas. Nick Jonas came out looking like a shiny penny.

 

So, as much as it pains me to say it, Disney’s manufactured young men will walk away with Grammy gold. Sure, I’d rather see it go to Duffy, but she and Adele split the Amy Winehouse legacy vote, leaving the coast clear for Team Jonas.

 

R&B album

“Love & Life,” Eric Benét

“Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA,” Boyz II Men

“Lay It Down,” Al Green

“Jennifer Hudson,” Jennifer Hudson

“The Way I See It,” Raphael Saadiq

 

Helen: It’s taken five categories before we hit our first “American Idol” alumna? That’s like a record or something. Not that I’m complaining, especially since it’s Jennifer Hudson, who actually has talent. Plus, how do I say this delicately? She could really use a Grammy right about now.

 

Ree: No argument there. OK, maybe a little one. Hudson’s going to get this one, but with all due respect, it’s going to seem like the “We’re sorry life’s so horribly unfair” award. That’s only because she’s up against Mr. Al “I-should-get-a-Grammy-for-hailing-a-cab” Green at his almost-best. “Lay It Down” ranks as absolute ear candy from the living legend.

 

No one else even comes. Not Eric Benét. Not Raphael Saadiq. Not even the once again oddly absent Keys. And the less said about Boyz II Men (minus Michael “Bass” McCary) the better. “Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA,” should get the most unnecessary album of the year award. It’s a B2M fan album. Who else wants to a melismatic redo of near-perfect Motown standards?

 

Helen: Dude, let it go. They’re just paving the way for their Vegas gig. Besides, I recall you defending Duran Duran’s classic-cover effort, “Thank You.”

 

Ree: A. That’s neither here nor there. B. It was ironic! A pack of not-so-working class Brits singing “911 is a Joke” is hilarious, no?

 

Helen: No.

 

Rap album

“American Gangster,” Jay-Z

“Tha Carter III,” Lil Wayne

“The Cool,” Lupe Fiasco

“Nas,” Nas

“Paper Trail,” T.I.

 

Helen: You know, for dude that retired a long time ago, that Jay-Z sure keeps busy. At least he mixed it up with “American Gangster.” He’s still all about brand names, but he’s not just trying to round up all the ladies anymore. He just wants that one special lady. It’s the “he liked it, so he put a ring on it” effect.

 

Of course T.I. managed to jam guest spots featuring two of his fellow contenders (Jay-Z and Lil Wayne) plus Kanye West on “Swagger Like Us” from “Paper Trail” — but that’s kind of like stuffing the ballot box. Lil Wayne is still in the honorary West spot. He’ll take best rap abum as a consolation for not snagging album of the year.

 

Ree: Yes and no. Lil Wayne takes it, but it’s no consolation prize. He has a fair shot across the board. The next best outcome is a Nas win, but Grammy may be reluctant to reward the Queensbridge rapper’s controversy-courting ways.

 

Actually, for the first year since Grammy became hip enough to listen to rap, there’s no real out-of-nowhere potential winner here.

 

Rock album

“Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends,” Coldplay

“Rock N Roll Jesus,” Kid Rock

“Only By The Night,” Kings Of Leon

“Death Magnetic,” Metallica

“Consolers Of The Lonely,” The Raconteurs

 

Helen: Ah, look. Jack White’s spent another year disappointing White Stripes fans by playing the sideman. That guy’s never met a musical genre he didn’t like. Even so, his work with the Raconteurs ranks as my personal favorite in the rock category.

 

Having said that, I’m still going with Coldplay.

 

Ree: Of course you are. I’m dismissing the boring Kings of Leon release and Kid Rock’s unfortunate “Rock N Roll Jesus” right off the top. Neither album really has what it takes for the winner’s circle. At least I hope not.

 

We’re in agreement on the Raconteurs, but I think this year it has to go to Metallica for their return to form in “Death Magnetic.” They’re a lock for best metal performance, too.

 

Country album

“That Lonesome Song,” Jamey Johnson

“Sleepless Nights,” Patty Loveless

“Troubadour,” George Strait

“Around The Bend,” Randy Travis

“Heaven, Heartache And The Power Of Love,” Trisha Yearwood

 

Helen: Where’s the requisite “American Idol” in this lot? Seems strange Grammy’s left award-winning country darling Carrie Underwood in the cold this year. “Carnival Ride” wasn’t that bad.

 

Ree: She must have angered the Grammy gods, as she’s stuck in best female country vocal performance this time around.

 

Helen: Just as well. Underwood didn’t stand much of a chance against the women in the spot. Patty Loveless could snag the award for “Sleepless Nights,” but she’s at a disadvantage with a tribute album. Assuming the voting body prefers something original, this is the year for Trisha Yearwood.

 

Ree: That’s assuming a woman’s winning, and I don’t think that’s going to happen. Randy Travis has the fan support. Jamey Johnson’s more deserving. But this is George Straight’s baby. It’s not that “Troubadour” is his best work — not even close. It’s just that the man’s a legend without so much as one Grammy on the shelf.

 

Helen: Yeah, well, this ain’t the lifetime achievement award.

 

Ree Hines and Helen A.S. Popkin agree on one Coldplay call. Chris Martin and the gang will attend the show in their finest Adam Ant hand-me-downs.
