Every time i see the thread "so...no car kids?" I think "so... no HLH video?" UGH. However a tweet from colsplayzone.it said the rumor is it's out Aug 31. Of course, we've been hearing weekly advancements on dates so whatevs. coldplayzone.it ‏@coldplayzoneit Breaking news: secondo alcuni rumours raccolti in rete, il video di Hurts Like Heaven dovrebbe essere pubblicato il prossimo 31 agosto "Breaking news: according to some rumours gathered on the network, the video Hurts Like Heaven should be published this coming 31 August"

Yay, the return of #coldplayfilm! Have fun, everyone!

Article only posted for description of Gwyneth :D http://eater.com/archives/2012/08/23/gywneth-paltrow-los-angeles-restaurant-mario-batali.php Gwyneth Paltrow to Open LA Restaurant w/ Mario Batali? The tabloid Star magazine (not online) claimed that actress/dreamy cookbook author/uninfluential person Gwyneth Paltrow is "planning to open world-class restaurant in Los Angeles" with her good friend Mario Batali. A supposed "insider" says that they are planning a restaurant "that specializes in Spanish cuisine." A Spanish-themed Eataly with a holistic cleanse-diet plus hot yoga center? But Gossip Cop, crusher of dreams everywhere, stomps the rumor dead: "[H]er rep tells Gossip Cop she has no plans to open a place of her own at this time." There is still hope: "at this time" means it still might happen. Fingers crossed, foodie friends.

Haha see how I said click if you're interested? :sneaky: I take no responsibility whatsoever for the contents. I figure most young girls in the hamptons right now would only tweet vapid things anyway ;)

This girl saw the whole family out and about today. She has a couple of pics as well which I don't want to post... but if you are curious go through! https://twitter.com/ssmith1795 Apparently Chris was driving a Jeep Wrangler.

Fan review and C-stage video from: http://headfortheburrows.tumblr.com/post/29110419307 So this past Wednesday, August 8th, my best friend and I went to see Coldplay live at the United Center, in Chicago. This was, without question, the best night of my life thus far - and my friend (Katy) said the same. Both of us list Coldplay as our favorite band when asked, by anyone, and I’d go so far as to say I’m quite obsessed with them. I own their entire discography, a number of their albums in record format, and I’m just generally all fanboy / in love with them type feels. I listen to them constantly, whether it be the tracks that were never released to the general public that I have mp3’s of (Murder, Lukas, Ladder to The Sun, the list goes on) or the newer stuff, or my favorite album by them, Parachutes. So, naturally, you can see how excited I - we - both were for this night. We got there at 5:30, and the concert didn’t start until seven. Well, actually, the opening act was on and off and on stage again within a two-hour time period, so Coldplay didn’t actually come out until 9:00 p.m. - and they played till 11:30 ish. As to the concert itself, I have no words. Or, rather, I do, but they’re hard to get down because even 24 hours later I’m still so fucking excited about it. Of course everyone knows (or most of us?) about the wristbands - lovingly the “Xylobands,” by many of the fans - that each fan gets at the start of the concert, puts on, and then becomes a part of the experience. Of course we had heard about them. Fantasized about getting our bracelet (I love my red one!), and of course we had read and seen these amazing images online. But nothing, nothing could do it justice in person. After the band had taken their final bows (after TWO encores) and left the stage, the arena was plunged into total 100% darkness, and for one second nobody knew what was happening. And then suddenly every Xyloband in the place lit up, and the entire place went insane. Screaming as I’ve never heard before and a collective unity feeling that I cannot describe. I’ve never been a part of something like that before, with 20,000 other people all feeling the same emotions and all projecting the same message that Coldplay so boldly stands for (love, in my opinion) all at once. Note: Coldplay loves their fans more than any other band - do you know any other group that gives back $640,000 per concert to their fanbase? But to the actual concert itself - the wristbands, most amazingly, were only the beginning. I mean, good lord, it’s Chris Martin, so of course there had to be confetti :) After that (and that went on for a WHILE - we were drenched in the stuff) they brought out the huge balls (har har har) These were amazing - the crowd would bop them around continuously, and at one point (the first picture of the balls shown) they eventually somehow made their way all back up to the stage. A few songs after they were dropped on the crowd, there was only one left floating around - and obviously people are wondering where they went to. Well, Chris took his guitar to the last one (it had gotten up on the stage) and when the balls popped they rained down confetti - which means they were pre-filled with the stuff. Incredible. Next came the music. They had an amazing set list (also in the pictures) - and swapped out Warning Sign in favor of playing Amsterdam - which they haven’t played live in ten years till that night (Chris sort of mentioned it :P) - so that was really incredible. They also did The Scientist right into Yellow, which was so emotional and really fantastic. The final song that they played (this is the second encore they did) was Fix You, and I don’t think there was a dry eye in the place. It was, without doubt, overwhelming and amazing all at once. But the first encore is what really made the night - well - extraordinary. I never dreamed something like this could happen to us - but it did. We bought our tickets off of stubhub, and there were better seats available than the ones we bought. There were worse ones, too, but we liked the location and the price was alright ($220 a piece - we got to the game late :p), so we went with them. About two songs before they ended their main set and started the first encore, we noticed some weird things happening around us. For example, the set guys had started bringing things (weird things) up to a platform located about five feet behind us. Like, for instance: a box (later would hold a keyboard) and a MICROPHONE. One song later (and one to go before the encore) security guards started lining our aisle. Keep in mind, my friend and I had the seats that were at the very END of our row and nearest this aisle, so we were literally right next to the caution tape they started putting up and down the aisle (taping it to the end seat of every row, of which we occupied). Of course the friends we had already made in the row right above us started freaking out with us. As I was the tallest person among our group, I was designated to lean as far over the caution tape as I could and look to see if the guys were coming. By now they had finished up Paradise, and the guards would let us lean as far past the tape as we could as long as we didn’t physically break it by walking through it or under it. Fine by me, mister mean security guard (he was rudeeeee) - I’m tall and can lean and see the entry way to the aisle (the same one that we’d been using all night to keep accessing our seats) to see if the guys are coming, when no one else can (because of either their seat position or their height or both). So of course everyone’s yelling at me “ARE THEY COMING YET?” over and over and I’m basically like “shut up cus you’ll know if I see Chris Martin’s head.” And then it happened. I can’t, I just can’t. I saw Chris Martin walking down the same walkway we had been walking on all night. ALL night long. You have to understand, the United Center has 20,000 people in it right now. They could have chosen ANYWHERE in the arena to perform this encore at, and they chose our seats. Literally, we were three feet away. That last picture you see there is taken without using the zoom on my camera. Will eventually came up and put his keyboard on that box you see there, and Guy and Buckland came up to fill the spaces inbetween Will and Chris. They played Speed of Sound, Us Against The World, and then they went back to the main stage to play Fix You. Luckily, they used the main aisle (where we were right next to - remember) to walk back to the stage, and in doing so allowed us to get high fives - actually I only got a high five from Guy, but I was still able to touch the rest of them on their arms, and my best friend was able to touch Chris Martin. Also, not to be weird, but fuck it because we’re fans and creeping is caring, we were close enough to smell Chris Martin (you see in the video there he paused to talk to the security guys, and that black hair in front of the camera is my friend) - and lord help me - mother may I - he smells, simply, like pure sex. Amazing.
