Wow! You were really front row.:)

Ah! I didn't realize she doesn't live in Paris.

It took me a whole day to recover after my show as well :lol:

Gwyneth Paltrow: I love Cate Blanchett Monday Sep 3 2012 Gwyneth Paltrow takes beauty inspiration from Cate Blanchett. The actress has revealed who her icons are when it comes to style. She looks up to the Australian actress as she always looks chic without trying too hard. "Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy always looked gorgeous and whenever I see Cate Blanchett on a red carpet, I think she looks amazing," she told the British edition of InStyle magazine. The American beauty, who is married to Coldplay's Chris Martin, is known for her healthy lifestyle. Gwyneth is convinced eating sensibly and exercising keeps her skin looking great. "Sweating it out every day is detoxing," she explained. "I also drink a lot of water, take Omega oils and keep my regime simple - a cleanser, face oils and Embryolisse moisturiser." When it comes to relaxing, the 39-year-old also likes to keeps it simple. Rather than splashing out on an expensive spa, Gwyneth prefers to be pampered at home. "I never have time to go to a spa, but I love a hot bath with Epsom salts in the evenings. I prefer old-fashioned vinegars to essential oils or bubbles," she revealed. http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/woman/fashion-beauty/gwyneth-paltrow-i-love-cate-blanchett-16205896.html

King gardner Jonny likes hoes:laugh3:

Where's Celine and all the French Coldplayers with their reports?

They're playing their instruments, which is what they're supposed to do. Chris has to pay attention to Rihanna for obvious reasons. Much ado about nothing. :rolleyes:

How about another North American tour? :lol: I've seen them 2x, 9/24/11 and 7/2/12 but I'd go again in a hearbeat if they came within 8 hrs of my home. Now there's a slim chance of that happening.

We're not talking about any major band, this is Coldplay. Even AROBTTH (which I consider a smaller tour by today's standards) had a couple of dates in South America. X&Y had its own mini South American tour which inspired VLV (thank God). There's no way Coldplay is retiring the MX Tour without proper concerts in South America. It's all gut feeling but it feels right.

That would explain why Chris threw in the Madness lyrics at some point during the concert. To think that back in the day, Coldplay was a support act for Muse.

Yeah, I hated their PoC Grammys 2012 performance. It looked a little better in Paris though. I'm going to have to install expatshield to watch them at the Paralympics closing.

I'm not a fan either but the more people hate her the more I like her. She didn't invite herself into this situation, Coldplay invited her.

Gwyneth Paltrow Bumps Into Kate Hudson & Ricky Gervais in London! Gwyneth Paltrow takes her kiddos Apple and Moses to a local Starbucks for a treat on Sunday (September 2) in London, England. While heading inside, the 39-year-old actress ran into funnyman Ricky Gervais. That’s not the only celebrity making a Starbucks run that day! While inside, Gwyn and her little ones bumped into Kate Hudson with her son Bingham. The two ladies stopped and chatted before Kate headed on her way. The Stand Up to Cancer telethon, which Gwyn is the executive producer for, is taking place this upcoming week on Friday (September 7)! It will be broadcast on the major networks at 8pm EST

When you check out the Flaming Lips on Stephen Colbert just b/c Coldplay has name dropped them through the years.

She's been mentioned as lead actress in a couple of projects.

Can you think of a Coldplay big tour that was limited to North America/Europe?

It's doable. Stosur has been up and down the whole year.

The whole thing is just sad.

In mine as well. I had to go back and listen to that interview one more time to make sure I wasn't misquoting him. He says, "big just means more people who don't really know about music have bought your record and keep it in their cars. It doesn't mean anything. Good is what we want to be". XM Radio Artist Confidential 2005-06-13. They were obviously promoting X&Y at the time.

OMG! Is young Laura coming into her own finally? She just defeated Li Na to move into the 4th round of the US Open. Good on you, girl!

I just read the announcement at that link. It's more like blogging. They'll be posting pictures and short videos, no live streaming of the actual concert at all.

From here on, I'll always refer to Guy as Mark's brother.:)

My Gwynnie Epiphany By Mary Tyler Mom, Thursday at 9:22 pm Gwyneth Paltrow and I have a history together on this here Internet. Basically, I'm not a fan, as I've detailed publicly on two very well-received occasions. Her acting is inoffensive, often pleasant. It's the other stuff -- the cookbooks and GOOP and her singing and hanging with Beyonce and Jay-Z that get to me. If she stuck to the acting, she would get a great big whatever from me. But she doesn't stick to the acting, does she? Like me and most women I know, Gwynnie (what I would call her if we were BFFs) is multi-faceted. I mean, of course she is. She is married to a rock star and Steven Spielberg is her godfather. Gal's got an Oscar, an Emmy and a Golden Globe. She's got it going on, clearly. So why does she annoy me so much? The answer to that question is immaterial and inconsequential. Who cares why she annoys me? I've detailed the whys in my previous two Gwynnie posts, that honestly, I have benefited from. They are funny and passionate and great writing and clearly struck a nerve with a lot of youse. But truth be told, the things I said with my keyboard are things I would never have said to Gwyneth's face. That is cowardly. I am a lot of things I am not so proud of, but I am not a coward. The posts were published in February and May, 2011. I have not dedicated a post to Gwynnie since then. There's a reason for that. It doesn't feel good. While the moments of typing on the keyboard felt good, like a rant that just needed to come out, the mirroring of hate and intense dislike for Gwyneth that I saw in the comment threads they generated never felt good. Full disclosure, I was ashamed that my words resulted in other words of hate and dislike. I was the catalyst of a lot of yuck and I didn't like it. In February of this year, I got a taste of Internet hate and it was bitter. And scary. A group of strangers targeted me on Facebook for something I had posted in complete innocence. What I had posted was twisted and manipulated, then circulated on several other Facebook pages to demonstrate what a horrible person I was. It didn't feel good. Not one bit. That experience was sort of a wake up call for me about the power of the Internet and social media. It's all fun and games until you see your kid's photo, his innocent face, sweet and vulnerable, splashed on a bunch of pages with hateful things attached to it. Yeah, that was no fun at all. That experience taught me what cyber-bullying was all about. It only lasted a day, really, my being on the receiving end of some mean girls' hate, and then like most things in social media -- POOF -- it was gone. The mean girls had moved on and found another target. But there I was, shaken and sad and not quite so innocent. Hadn't I done the same thing to Gwyneth? e-card I created in February 2012. And then there was the dream I had last week (cue swirly camera work here). Gwyneth had invited me over to her home. It was a NYC apartment, big, but not garish. It was interesting, with lots of books and art (a lot like a fancier version of my own home). I got there early and was left alone to explore. After a while other people started arriving -- 5, 10, 20, 30 people. Hey! There was Chris Martin! And, OMG, is that Gwynnie? It was. We were in the living room and her kids were getting ready for bed just down the hall. I was in Gwyneth Paltrow's home and she was holding a salon. A salon, people. Gwyneth was lounged on a sofa, listening intently, and contributing sometimes. At one point, she asked me what I thought about a topic. I gladly jumped in to the conversational fray. It was about working mothers, so you know I had some thoughts to share. A few minutes later, I got up to stretch my legs and ran into Chris Martin. I started gushing about how one of his songs -- I was embarrassed to realize I don't know the names to any of them -- was something I would listen to over and over when I was sad about my daughter dying of cancer. He seemed moved. I was dream mortified that I didn't know the name of his work. Then I walked into the kitchen, and there she was: Gwyneth. My Internet nemesis in the dream flesh. Except in my dream, she was just a lady in her kitchen, not so evil, and looking kind of fabulous. My brain was going a mile a minute. I was scared out of my skivvies that she might have read my rants about her. Should I bring it up? Should I play dumb? In the end, this is what I said: MTM: Hi, I kind of can't believe I am in your home. GP: Here you are. MTM: Well, people are probably always wanting something from you, and I am no different. I want you to know I am very sorry and ashamed that I have written about you in my blog. And I want to know if you would let me tape you saying, "What's your Good Thing?" for my charity. Cut to black when I woke up. Wow. You know you are grappling with Catholic guilt when you dream about guilt. So I think my Gwynnie days are over. Truth is, she will probably continue to annoy me, just as I annoy some of you. And as much as I like to rant and rave about how she is so out of touch with the average working mom, Gwyneth and I probably have more in common then I am comfortable admitting. Two privileged white girls living the dream. Forgive me, Gwyneth. Mea culpa. Truly. I am sorry to have targeted you with my snark. I am sorry to have made fun of your lifestyle, your children's names, your right to live your life the way you see fit. That was wrong. And mean. And it won't happen again. http://www.chicagonow.com/mary-tyler-mom/2012/08/my-gwynnie-epiphany/

Gwyneth Paltrow shows off the first Hedi Slimane bag for YSL… and it was designed especially for her By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 05:14 EST, 31 August 2012 | UPDATED: 07:24 EST, 31 August 2012 When Gwyneth Paltrow was pictured carrying a mink-coloured leather holdall earlier this month, many of us were left wondering where we could get our hands on the stylish accessory. However it has since been revealed that the tote was designed especially for the Hollywood star by her close friend, new Yves Saint Laurent creative director Hedi Slimane. The design, which Gwyneth, 39, clutched proudly as she arrived at LAX Airport while donning a khaki shirt, white jeans and tan sandals, is the first ever Hedi Slimane bag for YSL, according to a report by Grazia Daily. One of a kind: Gwyneth Paltrow is pictured arriving at LAX Airport earlier this month carrying the first ever Heidi Slimane bag for YSL Fashion fans have been eagerly anticipating the 44-year-old designer’s debut collection for the French luxury brand since he took over from Stefano Pilati as creative director earlier this year, and the bespoke bag is perhaps a sneak preview of what to expect. Slimane, the former creative director of Dior Homme, caused controversy recently when he decided to change the name of the ready-to-wear label to Saint Laurent Paris and remodel the logo to resemble the 1966 version. ‘It is interesting to see how much reaction this retro branding has created,’ he told Vanity Fair when quizzed about the decision.
