Coldplay’s White Shadows will be played on the radio, but there is no official release for the track. I don’t think countries other than Australia will be able to play it seeing as how it will ‘only be in Australia’, indicating that it isn’t a worldwide release. That’s how I’ve percieved it and if I’m wrong, I’m sure someone will tell me. Yeah it is a little confusing to why but that’s just how it is…   It was announced through a question and answer section at Coldplay.com that “White Shadows” w

According to http://www.allhiphop.com. My homey Lonnie from BQE Entertainment and Mr. DonMartin hit me with what could be the actual tracklisting of Jay-Z's upcoming album, Kingdom Come. Looks official, but my boy Mick Boogie has informed me that its probably a fake!   According to my sources, Jay-Z has NOT yet recording anything with The Clipse and the album is too long.   1.

Justin Timberlake has revealed he’d love to collaborate with Chris Martin — but the Coldplay star has turned him down.   The singer said: “I’d like to get Chris Martin in the studio but he won’t sing on anything but Coldplay stuff.” And Justin can’t help but be a little peeved about it. He joked on a T4 special: “I respect him and I hate him for that.”   While Chris will happily write and produce with other artists — including Jay Z, Nelly Furtado and Jamelia — he doesn’t like lending his vocal

Being the frontman of one of the biggest bands on earth still won't get you a gig on underground SBS hit show RocKwiz. Just ask Chris Martin of Coldplay.   Host Julia Zemiro says he is the one person they would ban from the show apart from his wife Gwyneth Paltrow.   "She just shouldn't have sung," Zemiro said. "And we have a bit of a running joke with Chris." In its final episode tomorrow, RocKwiz will unite the bad boys of rock with the beautiful broads of song for an action-packed temporary

There were some pretty good headlines from the Premiere dinner, including news from Paltrow. “I’m going back to work!” she told me. “I’m reading scripts and looking for movies.” Paltrow and husband Chris Martin of Coldplay fame are still living in London, but they’ve bought a house in the Hamptons.   Paltrow’s revival includes cameos in two films this fall: “Infamous” and “Running With Scissors.” In the former, she opens the film very surprisingly as a jazz singer in a nightclub. It’s her singin

Loved by millions, hated by just as many it’s Coldplay with the third single from the ridiculously huge ‘X & Y’, ‘Talk’.   Trendy scensters crucify me if you will, but beneath it’s sleeky clean façade, this is actually pretty affecting stuff, buoyed by a stunning melody. Ahem, I’ll get me coat. Admittedly, if you dislike Coldplay for all their MORness and the superficial, shallow tabloid obsession for Chris Martin and his megastar wife, you’ll clearly hate this. But for the rest of us we’ll

Music legends The Who are being awarded a Lifetime Achievement award for live music.   The band will be given the gong at the inaugural Vodafone Live Music Awards next month. Presently on a comeback world tour, The Who's venerable rockers have shown they can still draw huge crowds. There are no plans yet to extend the tour to Australia, though there have been persistent - if unsubstantiated - rumours about the veterans playing at the next Big Day Out.   Nominees for the other titles at the Vodaf

Jay-Z has admitted his attempt to quit music was "the worst retirement in history".   In 2002, the rapper announced 'The Black Album' would be his last record because he wanted to give up on making music and concentrate on his business interests. However, he recently ended his hiatus by returning to the stage and is currently putting the finishing touches to a new LP called 'Kingdom Come'.   He told Entertainment Weekly: "It was the worst retirement, maybe, in history. I believed it, yeah. I b
