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.

Guitarist Joe Satriani is suing Coldplay for a more legit example of plagiarism (sorry Ashlee) when it comes to the case of “Viva La Vida” vs. “If I Could Fly”.� You could spend your time listening to the full songs of both artists’, but you’d probably be wasting your time.� The arrangements are different enough that Chris Martin and crew will likely skirt by, avoiding Satriani’s desired obtainment of “any and all profits” made by “Viva La Vida”.� Check out the video, and while some user comments posted below the clip here allege that the pitch was adjusted by the video’s creator, it’s interesting nonetheless.

Do lawsuits like this even help the artist in the long run?� Either way, Satriani’s taking it pretty seriously - claiming it was like a “dagger through my heart”, alleging that the tune was written for his wife after close to 10 years of nurturing– the song, not his wife.� T.M.I.

While it’s unlikely the two pop forces will ever officially collaborate, a savvy music listener (I call anyone who actually listened closely to Ashlee Simpson’s latest effort savvy) has found some pretty obvious similarities between Coldplay’s “Square One” and Pete Wentz’s baby momma’s “Eyes Wide Open” (gah, even the name is wretched!).� Sampling? Possible - but both artist’s liner notes cite completely seperate producers and arrangers.

Check out the video and judge for yourself!

The track listing via Capitol records:

1. “Life in Technicolor ii”

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…

The marketing force behind Nas‘ self-(or Untitled)-album may have been lukewarm (and a bit misguided I might add), but it didn’t stop the rap pioneer & Queens NY native from topping this past week’s Billboard charts, knocking Lil’ Wayne’s The Carter III from atop its reigning spot. The Def Jam signee tops the charts with 186,000 units sold, while Weezy still brings in devastating numbers at 105,500.

The soundtrack to that damn movie with some singing old lady Mamma Mia!i slipped onto the charts at number 3 with 91,400 units moved, barely topping Coldplay’s Viva La Vida at #4 with 90,300 more sales.

Check out more of last week’s big sellers here. And yes, Rihanna is still making a whole helluva lot more paper than you and I combined with her expanded Good Girl Gone Bad selling yet another 41,300 copies (which has been on the charts since its release last Spring!)

Katy Perry may have a song about experimenting with girls, but this may just mark her first foray into threesomes.� “I Kissed a Girl” is looking at its third week atop Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles chart, proving not-only is it one of the strongest records of the summer, but with the close company of Rihanna (with “Take a Bow” sitting pretty [pun intended] at #2) and Leona Lewis, females are dominating the pop world.

Lil’ Wayne’s “Lollipop” has slid from 2-3.

Rising up the charts this week are Coldplay with “Viva La Vida” (moving from 6-5), Chris Brown with “Forever” (moving from 8-6), and Miley Cyrus‘ “7 Things” (ascending 16-10).
