Going to see Coldplay sometime this week? No need to rehash our feelings on that band – we don't want to be redundant redundant and, contrary to what one might think, Chris Martin fans can get downright nasty – but we wanted to let you know that, from today until the 19th, you should get to any Coldplay show early for the opening band, Shearwater. They're great, from Austin and lending even more credence to the theory that, generally, the opening band is going to be better than the headliner. (Whoops! Guess we kinda rehashed our feelings.)
Here, we've attached the track "Century Eyes." Enjoy.
Coldplay singer Chris Martin once equated boobs with eternal damnation:
…Martin revealed that he used to worry that he might be gay until he discovered he loved boobs. The 31-year-old stated that his strict Christian upbringing had caused him a lot of worry about his sexuality in his teens, as he was made to think that sex was wrong.

• Naomi Campbell's creative agent, on a picture showing NC collapsed after a possible night of drinking: "Naomi was playing this trust game, where you fall into a friend’s arms." [DListed]
Chris Martin, who is all about the music:
I had a tricky time with girls until I was, like, 21. I got trapped in the friendship tip many, many times. It was like, 'I need to be a rock star because this is no good: Being the kind of guy that everybody likes but no one wants to have sex with.' I don't want to be the person that makes everybody laugh before they go off and bang. I want to be the guy that everybody bangs.

The completely comparable WASP Gwyneth Paltrow has been hospitalized, Us reports! Her condition and symptoms remain uncertain, but an eyewitness reported seeing her "slumped over in a wheelchair pushed by [husband] Chris Martin."
New York magazine presumes her illness is a consequence of her restrictive diet, a leafy mix of raw and organic salads and juices. Organic Avenue, the purveyor of the healthier-than-thou goods seen being taken to Paltrow's hospital room, thinks that is poppycock: "Oh, no…There's actually quite a bit of food there, it's just all raw and organic." Mmmmm, anemia.

• How does someone with such an easy target of a name (Nick La-gay, Dick Lachey, Dick La-gay) not learn how to verbally defend themselves in 6th grade? [Jossip]
Ricky Gervais asks Chris Martin (who is actually kind of charming) the important questions. Like how much Mac paid them to name their daughter Apple.
