Toni's Cold Play

Hollywood star she might be, but Toni Collette is no stranger to a little bit of casual philanthropy.

One lucky Confidential reader in Sydney was treated to a Collette castoff when he pulled up next to the Aussie actor at the lights on Pacific Highway, Chatswood, at the weekend.

"This woman was waving at me, so I wound the window down," he said. "She'd just bought the new Coldplay X&Y CD, thought it was crap and asked me if I wanted it. I said, 'Sure', and she threw it across to me. I asked her if she was Toni Collette – she said, 'Yes', smiled, and drove off."
