One house is enough for most people, but Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are not most people.   They have purchased the house next door to their London home so they can build a humongous 33 room mansion.

A neighbor said:

“It will be a massive house. What they have already is a substantial family home, but to double and add a bit on will make it a real mansion.  Mind you, I wouldn’t want to have to pay the council tax on the new house - but I don’t suppose that will concern this particular couple.”

Probably not.  The two of them together are worth an estimated $74 million. Plenty to pay a team of staff to take care of their home, which will include:

a gym, changing room, and three bedrooms. There will be eight rooms on the lower ground floor, six on the next. The main floor will be divided into five areas and eight rooms are planned for the floor above that.

I’m sure we’ll get to read all about it (whether we like it or not) on Gwynnie’s website, GOOP.

Oh, the drama that is Chris Martin.  He was recently asked if he’d ever consider doing an album without his band Coldplay.  His response?

“It would probably mean I’ve been dumped by my wife and I desperately need the money.  Hell would not only have to freeze over but be skated over and completely closed up.  The Pope would have to declare it didn’t even exist. I cannot think of anything worse.”

Not only is this quote totally ridiculous, but it makes it sound like he’s entirely dependent on his wife Gwyneth Paltrow for money!   Chris Martin, you are so weird!

Sources (and by sources - in this case, I’m referencing The Times of India) are reporting that Robert Downey Jr. has an interest in lining up Coldplay to perform the theme song for his new Sherlock Holmes movie.  Not that he has the power to do so (that honor will likely go to those with producing credits), but still an interesting thought to make a blockbuster out of this retelling.

Downey Jr., 44, believes that Martin, 32, will be the right person for the musical score, as the rocker is a huge fan of the super sleuth.

The actor also revealed that the singer has been offering him tips about playing Holmes on the big screen, and that he hopes Martin will be a part of Guy Ritchie’s much-anticipated movie.

“We are hoping Chris Martin of Coldplay will contribute to our score,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

“He’s a huge Sherlock Holmes fan. He told me you need to be really skinny, which is always the last thing you want to hear,” he added.

It shouldn’t be any surprise to regular readers that I am no fan of Chris Martin/Coldplay nor Bono/U2.� To me, they are two sides of the same annoyingly pretentious coin.� So when I read this story last night, I literally laughed until my face hurt.

Seems Bono got on British radio to promote U2’s upcoming album, No Line On The Horizon.� Not even two minutes into a live interview, DJ Jo Whiley

asked Bono if he thought that Martin - the husband of actress Gwyneth Paltrow - was as talented as Paul McCartney.

Bono replied: ‘I think he’s that good a melodist, but he’s a w*****.’

For American audiences, those asterisks spell “wanker,” which is apparently serious cussing in England.�� Whiley was shocked, and asked Bono if he’d like to apologize.� Instead, Bono just made things worse:

He said: ‘He’s [Martin] obviously a completely dysfunctional character and a cretin”

Wanker?� Cretin?� That’s what I’ve been saying about Chris Martin all along, I just haven’t ever had the opportunity to say it on live radio.� Even though the irony is astounding, I’ll gladly accept Bono as my mouthpiece.

By the way, Bono eventually did apologize, saying he was “joking.”�� Sure you were, Bono.� Sure you were.

Posted on their website last week via a handwritten note by frontman Chris Martin, Coldplay announced plans to release an EP of unreleased material from Viva La Vida, called Prospekt’s March.�� The 8-track collection comes with a remix to “Lost” called “Lost +” and features a “guest experience in the form of Jay-Z” (such an ill way of saying “featuring”, no?).�� The anxiously-awaited release will make its debut November 25th.� I’m such a Coldplay fan, so this is definitely something for me to get excited over.

The track listing via Capitol records:

1. “Life in Technicolor ii”
2. “Postcards From Far Away”
3. “Glass of Water”
4. “Rainy Day”
5.�”Prospekt’s March/ Poppyfields”
6. “Lost +” (Jay-Z remix)
7.�”Lovers in Japan” (Osaka Sun mix)
8. “Now My Feet Won’t Touch the Ground”

Chris Martin says that the buzz he gets from getting tattoos is like drugs to him. Chris says he turned to getting inked because he was afraid of getting caught doing drugs by the tabloids.

“Getting tattooed is brilliant. I got a few done in my 30s and it is the best ever - especially if you are married and can’t take drugs because the (British newspaper) Daily Mirror might find out. I recommend getting a tattoo whether you are 70 or 12 - actually, maybe not 12, I think that might be a bit too young.”

I’m afraid Chris is right on this one (except for 12 year olds getting a tattoo!), tattoos are highly addictive. I am working on my sixth one, an arm sleeve, right now. It’s something you can’t control you just feel like you need them.

Chris Martin has revealed the secret to his band Coldplay’s success. You’ll never guess. They SEW together.

“Making clothes together in our studio makes us feel complete. We probably sound like a group of grannies in a knitting circle, but it’s the truth, and it gives us some control over our visual identity. When you are a big band and everyone is taking shots at you, the more things you can do together the better. And if you’re wearing uniforms made by your own hands it helps achieve that.”

Because it’s so hard when you’re a rock star to find enough regular old black clothes with which to establish a visual identity for your band. Just another reason for me to find Coldplay even more pompous than U2, and Chris Martin yet more arrogant than Bono!

In Coldplay’s new video Viva La Vida, Chris Martin dresses up like the Burger King. Is he trying to tell us something? May be he is thinking about a Whopper the whole time, although they are pretty gross! Listen to it and tell me what you think…

“People make a big fuss over names. Names of babies, names of albums, names of bands. There�s nothing weird about calling your baby Chewbacca if that�s what you want to call your baby. It�s no stranger than Sarah. A name is just a noise, and if you like it, then f–k what everyone else says.”

–� Chris Martin to Blender Magazine, on why no one should give a patootie why he named his kids Apple and Moses.

(And you know somewhere out there, there’s a Star Wars ultra fanboy who is now going to name his child Chewbacca….)
