If you're ever invited around to Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow's house, don't expect to see any of their awards on show.
The Coldplay singer has revealed that actually he doesn't think much of his Grammy gong or Gwynnie's Oscar statue. It seems that Chris wants more from an inanimate award than it just sitting there looking pretty, as he said, "A Grammy just sits there. An Oscar just sits there. It's just a hunk of junk."
Coldplay won record of the year at the 2004 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles and Gwyn picked up an Oscar for Shakespeare In Love in 1999 and cried quite a bit. Gwyneth looks reasonably chuffed with her Oscar statue back in 1999
However Chris does reveal what would make him happy and proud - and that's if his band's next album, due out in June, is better than the Beatles' Sgt Pepper.
"I don't reckon it's only about 'making it'. I reckon it's about competing with Sgt Pepper. It simply doesn't matter just how famous or rich the band that tries to do that is," he concluded - rather philosophically.
