After 6 Music is saved Coldplay ecstatic

Fans for supporting their campaign to save BBC 6 Music from closure Coldplay have thanked, insisting they are "very pleased" to have achieved their aim.

Bosses at the alternative station announced plans to shut the station earlier this year in a bid to save money.
But the news infuriated stars including Lily Allen, David Bowie and Jarvis Cocker, who all backed a campaign to stop 6 Music from being pulled.
The station will now stay open after the corporation's chairman rejected proposals to close it earlier this week - and the Yellow hitmakers are ecstatic at the news.
In a post on Coldplay's official website, the band writes, "You might remember that, earlier this year, the BBC announced its plans to close 6 Music, the wonderful radio station which plays a crucial and unique role in British music. We're very pleased to report that the BBC Trust today rejected the station's planned closure. This was largely due to the enormous public opposition to the plans. So, we'd like to offer heartfelt congratulations to everyone at 6 Music and a big thanks to all of you who took the trouble to contact the BBC Trust and voice your opinions."
Former Pulp singer Cocker, who has his own show on 6 Music, also expressed his joy at the announcement, saying, "It's great that everyone's finally agreed with all the arguments to keep it on air. The BBC should be proud of 6 Music it provides something that can't be found anywhere else on the radio. It's been a pleasure to be involved with the station and I'm happy that it'll still be here to do what it does best play music that would otherwise go unnoticed on mainstream radio."

Coldplay kid wants to be Beyoncé

Gwyneth Paltrow’s six-year-old daughter wants to be “Beyoncé Knowles or a baker” when she gets older.

The 37-year-old actress has two children, Apple and four-year-old Moses, with her husband Chris Martin. Apple is a keen singer and loves bread, and so has decided she wants to be a pop star or a baker when she grows up.

“She’s a good singer, really good singer,” Gwyneth said in an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “She says wants to do concerts like Beyoncé or be a baker so I’m hoping for something somewhere in the middle.

“Although I wouldn’t put her in front of you Ellen on theAmerican Idol stage – you’d crush her!”

Ellen is a judge on the hit singing contest.

Gwyneth and Chris are good friends with Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z. The couples met at a charity event in New York a few years ago and have been close ever since.

“We just kind of hooked up and become close,” Gwyneth explained. “They are incredible people, very kind and generous. She’s amazing at everything. She’s so good it’s nauseating. She’s so perfect it’s hard to take!”

Gwyneth also spoke about rumours she is planning to expand her family in the near future. She said she would love to have another baby, but would be just as happy if she didn’t.

“I would love to have another child at some point, but I feel so lucky to have two healthy nice ones that I’d be happy with that too,” she said.

Coldplay : Martin's Lost Photos Returned By Train Staff

COLDPLAY rocker CHRIS MARTIN has been reunited with a handful of private family photos of him and wife GWYNETH PALTROW after his father lost them on a train.
Matt Fearn railway manager recognised the stars when he looked through the snaps, which he found in the pocket of a jacket belonging to Martin's dad Anthony, who had left the coat behind on a train travelling through Devon, England.
Fearn began looking for relatives of Martin, who hails from near by Exeter, and contacted a local newspaper for help.
Martin's grateful dad Anthony responded - and he's now heaping praise on the honest train employee.
Britain's Sunday Express he tells, "I'm very impressed with the initiative of the lost property office and Matt Fearn in special, who thought to rummage around in the pockets to try and identify who the jacket belonged to when it had no name in it.
"I thank him very much for taking the trouble and now I shan't be in the dog house for losing some rather important family photos."

COLDPLAY have done a U-turn and allowed their music to be used by hit TV show Glee.

Producers are now busy working on a special episode of the American series featuring the band's tracks.

I can't help feeling their revised decision to now hand over their music must be financially motivated.

Unless Chris's wife GWYNETH PALTROW had a word in his ear.

Let's be honest - it's a show for the girls and the gays.

On paper you can understand why the camp high school musical drama would not seem an obvious choice for Coldplay.

But the series has been a smash hit all over the world and the spin-off albums - three so far - have sold by the truckload.

Writer Ryan had approached the band after the success of a one-off MADONNA special to see if he could do a Coldplay episode too.

But they said no way.

Canadian soft rocker BRYAN ADAMS also turned down the show - and has so far stuck to his guns.

Ryan explained: "At the beginning a lot of people didn't know what we were and asked to see scripts.

"I refused because I didn't want to set the precedent of them having any involvement.

"My favourite rejection was from Bryan Adams

Hit studio for fifth album to Coldplay

Coldplay will return to their recording studio today to finish their fifth album.
The group - consisting of Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion - have had several weeks off after spending two months holed up in an abandoned North London church working non stop on the new record.
They are now back at work, and intent on completing their as-yet-unnamed record as soon as possible.
The band members have kept extremely quiet about the style and contents of their new album, but one of their crew members has posted a long message on the topic on the group's website.
The blogger, known only as Roadie #42, said the new tracks are "killer", even though they are not finished.
"The songs haven't assumed their final beautiful form yet but they're a very long way from their skin and bones phase," he wrote. "What's impossible not to conclude is that they have some killer tunes."
Roadie #42 has previously revealed the band had written so much new material, they were struggling to decide what to put on the album.
Coldplay is hoping to release their new record at Christmas.

Coldplay: Berryman Starts Up Antiques Company

COLDPLAY rocker GUY BERRYMAN is set to establish himself as a businessman after launching an antiques dealership.
The bassist has teamed up with his brother Mark, a former chef, to create Berryman's Antiques. His sibling has moved to Sweden to find and restore Scandinavian furniture, which the duo then ships to the U.K.
The brothers then sell the pieces, which include tables, chairs and cabinets, on the internet to make a healthy profit.
A source tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "Their stuff sells for anything from a few hundred pounds to a few thousand."

Coldplay - Coldplay To Take U2'S Glastonbury Slot?
