Actress Gwyneth Paltrow pities journalists who make up stories about her, claiming they will be punished for their sins.   The Shakespeare In Love star is baffled by the constant fabricated reports about her personal life with husband Chris Martin and children Apple and Moses - but feels sure the perpetrators will get their comeuppance.   She says, "It makes me sad for the people who make it up because karmically, it can't be very good for them. It depresses me to think of people trying to sell

Gwyneth Paltrow has slammed rumours she bosses her husband around.   The Oscar-winning star - who gave birth to the couple's first daughter, Apple, earlier this year - blasted reports she wears the trousers in her marriage to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. She said: "I think that Chris and I are a good team. I have the strength in some ways and he has the strength in others - he's a very strong man, and I definitely don't boss him around."   Meanwhile, the blonde beauty says she's become less

Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed to friends that it’s not been all sunshine and joy since the birth of her son Moses in April.   For a start, Gwyneth and husband Chris Martin’s first child, daughter Apple, has not taken well to the arrival of her baby brother. Gwyneth was overheard telling friends that Apple is jealous of her younger sibling: “She’s fine but suddenly there’s another baby and everyone is talking about him and looking at him and she doesn’t really understand why.”   Gwyneth also added

Oscar winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed that she married Coldplay frontman Chris Martin because he reminded her of her late father Bruce.   The actress realized that she was having difficulty in choosing a partner as she compared all men to her father, until close pal Madonna reminded her of a chat they once had about love and loss. "She (Madonna) said to me that I once told her that I wasn't ready to pick the right person because I wasn't ready to replace my father as the main man in

Coldplay performed an unplugged version of "A Message" and duet with Beyonce at the London studios of the Haiti telethon in Covent Garden last night. "A Message" heated up the emotions enough that Chris Martin doffed his hat by the end. Chris returned on piano to accompany Beyonce Knowles, singing "Halo." You can relive the performances via YouTube at the Coldplay forum now, and find new video download links over the next 24 hours at the Multimedia forum here (please note that audio links are no

More excellent reviews of Coldplay's concert at the Hannover Stadium, Hannover, Germany (25th August 2009) have been posted at the Coldplay Live forum, that didn't quite make the main review article in time this morning. Here is the first set, of just some of the many:   Hey guys, we had a great time yesterday. arrived at the venue at 1.30 pm and there weren't too many ppl there at that time. when the doors opened at 4.30 pm, it was sort of terrible, tho. everyone went a bit mad and was pushing

Chris Martin — as famous for being Gwyneth Paltrow's husband as for leading Coldplay, one of the biggest bands in the world — has bitter memories of his last visit to Australia.   In 2003, with Martin and Paltrow endlessly pursued by paparazzi in Byron Bay, he blew his cool and was charged with malicious damage for attacking a photographer's car.   "I didn't want to come back here, to be honest," Martin conceded yesterday afternoon at Southbank, prior to his band's second Melbourne show. "Partic

20 years ago, Coldplay performed their first gig at 'The Laurel Tree' in Camden, London.         The show took place in the upstairs room of the pub, not far from Chris and Jonny’s flat. The building still exists but is no longer a music venue. This is one of the small handful of Coldplay shows not mixed by Daniel Green. It is also notable for the short-lived band-name Starfish before they finally arrived at Coldplay. The gig was completely sold out – mainly as a result of the band’s persuas
