WORLD OF CHRIS MARTIN

We suspect that The Sun might have got a little over-excited when it tells visitors to its website this morning that Chris Martin is going to record a single with the Krankies - what actually appears to have happened is Martin has been pondering about interesting and "surprising" things Coldplay might do. (In other words, even his PR handlers have noticed just how boring and predictable Coldplay have become and are trying to counter the impression.)

What's more telling than the Krankies suggestion, though, is that Chris also talks about recording a duet with Celine Dion:

"We shouldn’t restrict our options. To me, the most bizarre things at the moment are the most exciting."

Bless... Chris thinks that two dull, middle-class acts recording their slow, fake-emoting ballad styles together would be like putting two very different things together. We bet he sometimes mixes tangerine and mandarin slices together at home, too.

On the same day that Chris Martin talks about working with Wee Jimmy Krankie, he's going to come face-to-face with another comedy double act where a grown adult behaves like a naughty kid, as both Chris and Liam Gallagher are due to turn up at the Q awards. The Sun scents blood, and can barely contain its CAPS LOCK:

WILD man LIAM GALLAGHER is set for an explosive meeting with CHRIS MARTIN at the Q Awards today.

Yeah, Chris Martin has spent all weekend making a stanley knife with a double blade for this meeting of minds. We really can't wai... oh, hang on, Animal Planet has got Koala Crisis on tonight. Now, that's exciting.

You Know ...I still think they're Great and its not their fault that every britband since then has copied their formula...Are you listening Doves, Snowpatrol. Keane, Elbow, Charlatans Etc Etc Etc!... its all Great music.. just be cool and rock On.

The Charlatans?? I am used to hearing of Embrace, Snow Patrol and Travis having sprung up to copy Coldplay, but that beats them all!

Two things - first, Anonymous - nope, two and a half years ago I still though Coldplay were a bunch of denatured droners. Travis-lite, I think the actual phrase I wrote down back then.

Second: delete- you know, there was so much E and acid floating around Manchester fifteen years ago, perhaps Tim and the boys saw Coldplay through a whirl in the very fabric of space-time. Although how you'd get from seeing Yellow in a vision to making Jesus Hairdo, I don't know...
