Coldplay is ready to call it quits.  I guess they want to get out while they're still on top.  Chris Martin recently said that the band won't keep going when they get old.  And yes, he considers 33 to be old.

"I'm 31 now and I don't think that bands should keep going past 33. So, we're trying to pack in as much as possible. Up until the end of next year, we'll just go for it in every sense.

"I don't believe in time off. We've still got most of our hair, we can still fit into our musical trousers and we've got to make the most of that."

I REALLY love some of their songs.  It would be sad to see such a successful group ends things that soon.  Why not carry on like other legendary musicians who keep singing until they die?!?

Ouch!  Looks like Brad Pitt is a sensitive subject for Chris Martin.  Chris told a journalist, Paul Reese, that he and Gwyneth Paltrow had been talking about how they have one of those silly arrangements (you know, everyone has a list) where he would be allowed to leave her for a certain starlet or she would be allowed to leave him for the singers from Westlife...hmm, strange choice, but that's besides the point. 

Clearly bemused by Paltrow's choice and not giving himself time to engage his brain, Rees blurted out: "You could have at least told her Brad Pitt." 

Chris responded,

"She was engaged to him, you f***er." 

He then punched the journalist in the chest.

Temper!  But then again, I can understand why Chris wouldn't really want to talk about that subject. A lot of men would probably feel insecure when compared to Brad.

I actually love this quote because it really does show how times have changed. Chris Martin admitted to only have one real relationship and guess who it was with? 

“I’ve only been in one serious relationship. This is the only one. Is that weird? I don’t think it’s that weird. It wouldn’t be weird 200 years ago.”

Justin Timberlake has asked Chris Martin to collaborate with him in the studio but the offer has been declined. Chris only wants to work on Coldplay music which I think is admirable. But at the same time, I am a bit disappointed because I am sure the song would have rocked. I love both their music.

He says, "I'd like to get Chris Martin in the studio but he won't sing on anything but Coldplay stuff. I respect him and I hate him for that!"
