Apparently, people are still listening to Coldplay. We thought that was something one abandoned after undergrad, like using "party" as a verb and drinking grain alcohol. But, no, the pop rockers put on a free show at Madison Square Garden Monday night and a lot of adults showed up—some of them famous, many of them models. Click through to see what type of person sits through an entire Coldplay concert.

The Chris Farley Show, an eponymous new biography about the late comedian and SNL alum, spells out something his unrelenting drug abuse should have clarified for everyone years ago: He actually didn't enjoy being made fun of for being hugely overweight and he only allowed it so that people would like him.

Chris Rock blames Farley's undoing on his deep-seated need for approval. "'Chippendales' was a weird sketch. I always hated it," says Rock, "The joke of it is, basically, 'We can't hire you because you're fat.' There's no comic twist to it. It's just [bleep]ing mean. A more mentally together Chris Farley wouldn't have done it, but Chris wanted so much to be liked. As funny as that sketch was … it's one of the things that killed him."

According to a couple top 10 lists from the Huffington Post, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama's bestest, most awesome celebrity supporters are both talk show hosts. Clinton's got Ellen DeGeneres and Obama's repped by Oprah. Clinton also has the backing of Eva Longoria and Magic Johnson, while Obama counts Chris Rock and some Kennedys as fans. None of this should matter, but, remember, 45 percent of American adults put stock in the recommendations of celebrities. Which reminds us of a quote from our favorite politician: "The best argument against democracy is five minutes with the average voter."

To the right is Monika Zsibrita, the bosomy Hungarian who accused comedian Chris Rock of impregnating her. When that allegation was proved to be a lie, Zsibrita then said the funny man raped her. Also a lie. She is not a nice woman, but does that mean she deserved to be pestered by Anthony Pellicano, the famed "PI to the stars" currently facing racketeering charges, whose services were acquired by Rock?

A recorded conversation between Rock and Pellicano has been obtained by The Huffington Post. The best excerpts are after the jump, including a revelation about where Rock "came."

Vanity Fair's July issue, an Africa-themed edition guest-edited by Bono, will feature 20 different star-studded cover photos taken by Annie Liebovitz. The goal of the shoot, Bono said, was to "bring some sex appeal to the idea of wanting to change the world." Here's a thought, Bono: try bringing some money to the idea of wanting to change the world.

To be sure, what this whole pitiful—surely catered—charade amounts to is nothing more than rich people with the best of intentions exerting very little effort in the hopes that it will make a difference. But despite their aspirations, the fact is that this gesture will probably prove to be relatively meaningless.

Cheers to Jerry Seinfeld for being willing to "poke" (Eh? Eh? Come on!) fun at himself in a giant bee costume at Cannes. Though one would be surprised at how pulling in $108 million a year makes it markedly easier to stomach behaving like a complete ass in front of all your colleagues on the French Riviera.
