Coldplay

1998
Alternative rock
Coldplay was formed in London, England, after the members had met at the University College Longon (UCL) in 1996. Chris Martin and Jonny Bucklan were the ones who started the group which was originally to be called Pectoralz. When Guy Berryman, a classmate, joined, the band renamed themselves to Starfish and began to play small gigs at clubs in London. It was when Chris Maritin's long-time friend Phil Harvey was recruited as the band's manager and Will Champion joined to take up percussion duties that the band came up with the name "Coldplay". The group has today sold far more than 50 million (!) copies and is considered to be one of the best bands of all time to perform live.
Grammy Awards, BRIT Awards, ECHO Awards, GQ Awards, International Dance Music Award, Juno Award, amongst many other awards and numerous nominations.
Yellow, Clocks, Shiver, Trouble, The Scientist, Speed of Sound, Fix You, Viva La Vida.

Gwyneth Paltrow Breaking Up Coldplay?

Wednesday 12:59 PM, 26/08/2009
As most people know Iron Man star Gwyneth Paltrow is married to the lead singer of the hit making band Coldplay. Even though Gwyneth has often said she doesn't want to be involved with Chris' band and would hate to be the girl known to have broken up Coldplay, she is rumoured to be doing exactly that! The story is that Chris and Gwyn had a huge fight over his career recently! Gwyn wants him to try out a solo album just to see if he would like it and Chris wants nothing to do with it. There have been lots of rumours about the couple's marriage in the last year. Will Chris be forced to choose between the band and Gwyneth soon? We hope not! (Source: GossipBetty)

Top list: Strangest celebrity baby names!

Monday 4:39 PM, 27/04/2009 8. Paula Yates and Bob Geldof have picked really odd namnes for their kids: Fifi Trixibelle, Little Pixie, Tiger Lily Heavenly Hirani (the father is Michael Hutchence), but our favourite has to be Peaches Honeyblossom - the fashionista herself! She has often told the media how hard it was for her to grow up with such a strange name. We understand her completely! 7. Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdales oldest son is named Kingston, a reasonably normal name compared to his brothers name Zuma Nesta Rock. The name Zuma stems from a beach in Malibu and is also the the name of a Neil Young album. Nesta was reggea star Bob Marley's first name and Rock is from rockstar..we hear, but still really was it necessary? 6. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes little sweetheart was named Suri. According to TomKat Suri stems from both Hebrew and Persian. But the name doesn't mean "Princess" like TomKat suggested. Instead it means "from Syria". Hmm, not quite the same... 5. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie must have high hopes for their daughter Shiloh Nouvel. Shiloh means Messiah and Nouvel is "New" in French. However, Nouvelle would've been more correct, since Nouvel is the maculine form! 4. Glamour model Jordan, aka Katie Price, and her husband Peter Andre are not known for their good taste so it was no surprise that their daugter received an odd name, Princess Tiaamii. The couple probably thought they were clever mixing the names of their mothers (Thea and Amy = Tiaamii) but it's really just weird! 3. Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz won't reveal why they choose the bizarre name Bronx Mowgli for their son, although Mowgli surely stems from The Jungle Book. 2. Red Hot Chili Pepper's star Anthony Kiedis and his model girlfriend Heather Christie named their son Everly Bear. Everly stems from one of Anthony's favorite groups and Bear was Heather's idea. Anthony also liked Bear since he feels like he belongs to a group of bears. How weird is that? 1. And the winner is.... "My Name Is Earl"-star Jason Lees son with the creative name Pilot Inspektor!! Jason and Beth Riesgraf really deserved to win this competition. The name stems from a song. Poor, poor Pilot Inspektor...
Our beloved celebrities often don't settle for "normal" names for their kids. The more creative and crazy, the better! The question is what do the kids themselves think of their weird names? We have gathered some of the strangest just for you! For example who is responsible for the name Princess Tiaamii?! And why did Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale pick the name Zuma Nesta Rock? Find out what Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter's name Shiloh Nouvel really means below:

OOPS!

Bono Calls Chris Martin a Wanker!

Monday 9:32 PM, 02/03/2009
BBC Radio has been forced to apologise for Bono and his dirty mouth live on the air! U2's frontman called Coldplay's Chris Martin a wanker and then a totally dysfunctional cretin. Big oops! Later Bono said he was only joking and thought that Chris was a great melodist and compared him with Paul McCartney, but the damage was already done. The poor radio host Jo Wiley was clearly very embarrassed afterwards! Listen to the whole thing here:
