Jonny Buckland, guitarist with the right-on ‘green’ Coldplay, has sent a rush of blood to the heads of conservationists in his manor.   He’s just been given the go ahead to chop down two trees at this house in leafy Hampstead, North London, so he can build an extention. Perhaps he ran out of room for all the band’s discs and awards.     Source: Daily Mirror 11/09/2007

One woman took her hatred of Coldplay to an extreme last week and ended up in jail after beating a man for singing their most famous song.   The smackdown occurred at the Changes Karaoke bar in Seattle when a man took the stage and started to sing Coldplay's hit song "Yellow" angering a woman in the audience who shouted "Oh no, not that song. I can't stand that song!"   She then jumped up on stage and punched the man in the face in an attempt to stop him from singing the song, said the police r

When was the last time you saw pictures of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin out and about, giggling with glee and very much in love? Okay, never, but they haven't even been seen together for quite a while, leading to speculation that Paltrow would rather be seen with a weeping coldsore rather than her husband.   OK! magazine is reporting on Paltrow's recent four-hour salon experience (where the staff probably just tied her down and ironed her hair) and her reluctance to talk about all things Mar

Digg are reporting that Chris Martin turned out for a charity soccer game in Kenya last week to raise awareness for the environment. Martin, who was at the time rehearsing with Coldplay in Spain, took part in a five-a-side match against Masaai tribesmen.   The event was organized by environmentalist Jeremy McClintock, DUFFF and The Right Path Party.   Meanwhile, the Jeremy Mcclintock website reports on Sir Alain Shipmount, Co-founder and Secretary of DUFFF, and one of the UK’s leading creative c

Chris Martin was left red-faced when he was refused entry to the premiere of wife Gwyneth Paltrow's new movie.   The Coldplay frontman - who has a three-year-old daughter, Apple, and a 16-month-old son, Moses, with the 34-year-old actress - was "manhandled" by a security guard who didn't recognise him as he tried to get into the private New York screening of The Good Night on Saturday.   The New York Daily News newspaper reports: "One security guard, who apparently isn't a Coldplay fan, manhand

Ponderous blog entry to hit the interweb recently:   Dear Chris,   You’ve had me waiting months for a sign that Coldplay’s 4th Album was on the horizon. And now I sit and wonder how you’ll back up your words, stating the album “is going to be the greatest piece of music ever made.”   Really, Chris? Don’t you think that might be just a tad premature? You hadn’t even started recording when you made those claims. You finished recording around the first of this year, and did not speak about the albu

The man allegedly attacked for singing Coldplay at a Wallingford bar is still dumbfounded, and the woman who was arrested claims she doesn't remember the attack.   The story of the 30-year-old karaoke singer – who wanted to be known only by his first name, Chris – made the Internet rounds after P-I reporter Hector Castro detailed the alleged attack that happed just past 1 a.m. Thursday. Police say a 21-year-old woman couldn't stand the song "Yellow" and went after the would-be crooner, telling h

Here’s a message from Sara - author of the famous Chris/Jonny “Coldslash” ‘Careful Where You Stand’.   Hey there kids - my name’s Sara, I wrote a crappy Chris/Jonny fanfic called Careful Where You Stand - http://www.geocities.com/xwhatawasterx/cwys01.html - some obscenely long time ago and never finished it because I fail at life. I decided to finish it. Figured I’d tell you guys… maybe some of you will appreciate the info! the final few chapters should be here or at my site in the next week or

MORE good news for Coldplay’s Chris Martin: his beautiful movie star wife is to perfect her cooking skills.   Gwyneth Paltrow is to co-host a cooking show for US TV in which she travels around Spain on a culinary road trip. Her friend Mario Batali, a celebrity chef, told her of his plan to travel through Spain. “I told him, ‘I'll go with you’. Later, he was like, ‘Are you joking?’ And I was like, ‘No, I’m actually not joking!’” said Paltrow, who has fond childhood memories of holidays in the co

Gwyneth Paltrow is back.   She's splashed on the cover of September's W magazine, out nationwide Aug. 17, as she prepares for the October release of brother Jake's romantic comedy The Good Night, in which she plays the girlfriend of a washed-up pop star. The actress, 34, also has been busy filming the action thriller Iron Man with Robert Downey Jr.   The projects follow a break from major roles to spend time with husband and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, 30, and their children, daughter Apple

It could have been the Coldplay song "Yellow" that upset the patron of a Wallingford (Seattle) neighborhood bar. Or perhaps it was the karaoke singer who belted it out.   Employees at Changes, on North 45th Street, said they don't know, but the ensuing melee just past 1 a.m. Thursday was one unlike anything seen at the bar before. As soon as the man on stage started singing about the stars in his best Chris Martin impersonation, the woman reportedly said: "Oh, no, not that song. I can't stand t

Los Angeles - Angelina Jolie [pictured] is reportedly furious with Brad Pitt for agreeing to star in a new movie with his former fiancée Gwyneth Paltrow.   Brad and Gwyneth - who starred in 'Se7en' together and were once Hollywood's hottest couple - have signed up to appear in new political drama 'Dirty Tricks', and Angelina is said to be seething with jealousy.   A source told Britain's Star magazine: "She hit the roof when she found out. She seems consumed with jealousy. Angelina did not want

Arctic Monkeys have almost been given the all-clear for being eternally responsible for the most embarrassing dance in the world.   Peter Crouch, Liverpool footballer and WAG attendant, famously did 'The Crouch' - the robot dance he did after scoring for England in friendlies before the 2006 World Cup. It soon came to light that it was a line in 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor' was responsible for the move. Namely "Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984."   As we all know, however,

A new phenomenon in New Zealand is taking the idea of “you are what you eat” to the extreme.   “Vegansexuals” is the name given to people who not only don’t eat any meat or animal products, but also choose not to be sexually intimate with non-vegan partners. Their reasoning is that the bodies of non-vegans are made up of the dead animals they have consumed.   The co-director of the New Zealand Centre for Human and Animal Studies at Canterbury University, Annie Potts, said she coined the term aft

Perry is enjoying a massive boost in the shops after becoming popular with cutting edge pop stars.   The drink has proved a hit with pop star Lily Allen at Glastonbury and has been demanded backstage by bands the Arctic Monkeys and The Killers. Other fans reportedly incude the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, super model Kate Moss and singers Joss Stone and Chris Martin of Coldplay.   Bill Ottaway of the Campaign for Real Ale, said he was not surprised to hear about the interest in perry

Rating: 1/5 Single Review by: http://www.thisisfakediy.co.uk   With a title like that, you've got to be ninety percent in love with Death In Public before you even play the track.   So imagine our bitter disappointment when 'I Really Hate Coldplay' turns out to be a not-so-good Mansun style tune with an irritating high-pitched male whining over a grubby goth backing. It's like someone trying to be an indie Marilyn Manson, but not half as intoxicating as that sounds on paper.   We're not quite su

Can you picture Chris Martin in a flamenco dress, shaking his maracas whilst blaring out ‘Yellow.’ No? Well you had better get used to it, report Gigwise Blog.   Today Coldplay have gone “Hispanic” on us. Yeah that’s right. As you’ll have seen in the news they’ve gone to Barcelona to record the follow-up to 2005’s mighty X&Y and are currently recording “at the feet of archangels.” We’re not sure whether they were just lacking creativity in their London studio or they just fancied escaping th

For years, one of the hottest ''feuds'' in the music world was the rift between former Mickey Mouse Club members Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Now, however, it sounds like the two pop divas have made peace -- and a source close to Aguilera tells me it's likely the singer's pending motherhood (which she has yet to confirm) has something to do with it. Here's what we know: Aguilera reached out to Spears, and the two reportedly have spoken on the phone, e-mailed a lot and smoothed things o
