As I do not have as much time as I used to have, I'm not able to update the news daily. From now on, you'll only find the most important news once a week.
For the "Welcome to the world, Moses Martin" Website Special, click here.
The first pic of little Moses is finally here:
Wednesday, 12 April 2006 - It's Guy's birthday today!
Monday, 10 April 2006 - Gwyneth and Chris parents again!!
ET Online has confirmed that Gwyneth Paltrow and hubby Chris Martin welcomed a little baby boy over the weekend. A name hasn't been revealed yet and none of the major news and entertainment websites have reported the breaking news so far (it's 1 pm at the moment) - so I'm one of the first to tell you 
Big sister Apple turns 2 on May 14 - her brother's birthday is now officially April 9, 2006. We don't know any further details yet and, but we'll certainly get more information soon! Congratulations to the lovely couple, I hope the little family is fine and everyone's feeling well!!

UPDATE - Monday, 10 April
It has now been officially confirmed that Gwyneth gave birth to a boy in a hospital in New York City this weekend (note: Apple was born in London - so she's British and her brother is American). Furthermore, she revealed the name we've all been waiting for:
MOSES BRUCE ANTHONY MARTIN
They used the same "system" they also used for Apple (Blythe Alison): Bruce is Gwyneth's dad's name, Anthony is Chris' dad's name!
The office of Paltrow's publicist, Stephen Huvane, told the press today: "It's a healthy baby boy named Moses Martin. No other details are being provided."
A very biblical name - again! Because Gwyneth once said that the name Apple has a religious background as well: ""It conjured such a lovely picture for me – you know, apples are so sweet and they're wholesome and it's biblical – and I just thought it sounded so lovely and ... clean."
In addition, all of you Coldplay fans out there probably know the beautiful song "Moses" that Chris wrote for Gwyneth in 2003 - it has only been played live so far and can only be found on the Live 2003 DVD.
Chris, Apple and now Moses all celebrate birthday at around the same time: Chris in March, Moses in April and Apple in May! Only mummy Gwyneth is born in September.
However, welcome to the world, Moses Martin It will take years until you realize what a lucky boy you are - being the son of two such talented, wonderful persons and the brother of such an adorable, little girl!
To post your congratulations for the happy little family, click here.
As soon as baby photos are released, you'll find them here!
UPDATE 2 - Monday, 10 April
It has now been reported that Gwyneth Paltrow didn't give birth "the natural way" - she had a C-section planned for this weekend! The past few months, there were rumours saying that Gwyneth was planning a water birth, but now more details have been spread around the web, saying that the birth date was all planned! The only thing that doesn't fit with this information is the fact that Moses was born at 1 am in the night from Saturday to Sunday - if it would have been planned, they wouldn't do it in the middle of the night, would they?!
Source: PerezHilton
Gwyneth's spokeswoman neither confirmed nor denied whether the actress had a C-section or not, but she told the press that little Moses is healthy and: "Mum and baby are both doing well. I'm sure they are ecstatic."
The choice of the name wasn't that surprising - Moses was a Jewish prophet and Gwyneth's beloved father Bruce Paltrow, who passed away a few years ago, was a famous Jewish American himself. He in turn was a direct descendant of David HaLevi Segal, the 17th century patriarch from Krakow, part of the mighty Paltrowich dynasty which gave the world a further 33 rabbis.
There have always been rumours saying that Gwyn would like to name her first son after her father, but Jewish culture doesn't allow naming kids after dead persons.
As I already mentioned yesterday, the name could have another meaning for the couple: "Moses" was the title of a song Chris wrote for his wife shortly before their wedding in California in 2003. The track can only be found on the Live 2003 album, recorded in Sydney. Chris told fans that it was the song he most enjoyed performing. The lyrics include the powerful words "Like Moses has power over sea so you've got power over me... You're a refuge, somewhere I can go. You're air that, air that I can breathe, 'cause you're my golden opportunity."
Wednesday, 29 March 2006 - Will to become a daddy
Exciting rumours for all Coldplay fans: It seems like Chris isn't the only band member whose wife is expecting a baby soon. Here's what a member of a Gwyneth Paltrow message board wrote:
I went for dinner on Friday night at a great little place in NY’s Lower East Side (Falai - wonderful italian) and spotted Coldplay drummer Will Champion and his pregnant wife whose name I don’t know, along with another friend. The wife was quite lovely and only looked pregnant because of her belly. She was waify and teeny tiny otherwise. How these women do it I don’t know! it’s not like she wasn’t having dessert! (As an aside, we arrived just as they were getting their dessert and I actually ended up ordering this great passion fruit souffle that Will had ordered because it looked so delicious).
Will and Marianne in Italy
UPDATE:
The news have been confirmed by Debs Wild, a good friend of the band and the webmaster of their official site:
Marianne's tiny, her belly isn't 
It hasn't been reported because their profile is low, but yes it's true. It's due soon.
Now little Apple and Chris' soon-to-come baby No. 2 will have a little Coldplay friend to play with soon! And maybe they'll even found their own band one day, just like their daddys
Saturday, 25 March 2006 - News Roundup
I haven't been around for quite a while, so here are all important news of the past days:
"The Hardest Part" Video
On Wednesday, the new Coldplay video premiered on Channel 4. You can watch it exclusively on the official Coldplay website and it will certainly be on the MTV list soon!
The music video was shot on March 3 in Tampa, Florida, at a yacht marina. It was directed by Mary Wigmore, a good friend of Chris Martin and his wife.
The video "shocked" a lot of fans - it's very different to what the guys have done in the past. It shows the band members at a harbour, performing on stage while a dancing couple does a performance right next to them. The weird thing: The male dancer is 25 and the female dancer is 84!! The dancing part is actually from an 80s TV show called "Attitudes" - so the video parts of Coldplay's performance and the 80s talk show are put together and combined to a music video! You'll either love or hate this video
You can check out video screenshots here.
Upcoming Live DVD
Just like promised, Coldplay will release a Live DVD of their "Twisted Logic Tour". The footage was filmed at their two gigs in Toronto on Thursday and Friday. As soon as I know a release date, you'll find out here!
Chris Martin named "Sexiest Vegeterian alive" AGAIN!
Just like past year, Chris Martin won the poll taken by visitors of PETA's website GoVeg.com! The female winner was American Idol winner Carrie Underwood. Chris Martin has been a vegeterian for years, just like his wife Gwyneth Paltrow. That's why they're raising their child Apple with healthy, vegeterian food as well.
Sunday, 12 March 2006 - Coldplay win Echo Award
Tonight, the 15th "Echo", the most important German music award, took place in Berlin and was shown nationwide on the German TV channel "RTL". Our lovely band Coldplay won the award for "Best International Group" - the award show isn't as serious as it used to be, unfortunately, due to crappy commercial bands like "Tokio Hotel", but well, congratulations to Coldplay anyway! This award isn't voted by fans, it depends on the commercial success, so this shows that Coldplay was the most successful international band in Germany the past year 
Wednesday, 8 March 2006 - Coldplay headline Isle of Wight Festival
This year's only UK appearance of Coldplay will be at the famous Isle of Wight Festival at Seaclose Park, Newport, on June 11. They'll headline the last day of the three-day-lasting festival, while Foo Fighters are confirmed as headliners for June 10.
Other performers are Placebo, Prodigy, Editors, Maximo Park and The Kooks. In addition, three (!!) of Coldplay's support acts of the Twisted Logic Tour will appear as well: Goldfrapp, Morning Runner (both on Friday, 9 June) and Richard Ashcroft (Sunday, 11 June).
Anyone who has the chance to visit the festival should definitely do so! I'm really jealous and sad that I live so far away, otherwise I'd definitely go there! To purchase tickets, visit the official website.
Thursday, 2 March 2006 - Happy Birthday, Chris!
Our lovely Chris Martin is turning 29 today - it's not the big "three zero" yet, but it's definitely a bit closer Well, two kids (remember: one more to come this April!) and a beautiful wife before your 30th birthday, that's not bad, is it?
The band will play a gig in Washington tonight - so let's hope that the Washington crowd will sing happy birthday! Meanwhile, his wife Gwyneth is relaxing in Mexico with cute little Apple:
Tuesday, 21 February 2006 - Loooove at the Brits
Last Thursday, ITV1 aired the Brit Awards. Besides the brilliant performance of our beloved band and the fact that they won two awards, there was something else to be interested in:
All the guys, except of Chris, were accompanied by their beautiful wives - and as soon as it was announced that Coldplay won an award, Will and Guy turned around to kiss their beautiful wives - and what did Jonny and Chris do? Well, share their love with each other, not with their wives - as usual
Left: Will and his wife Marianne; Middle: Guy and his wife Joanna; left next to them: Chris taking a nip out of a beer bottle; Front right: Jonny's girlfriend Chloe applauding, Jonny getting up
On the way to the stage, there's a bit more Chris & Jonny action:
As soon as they got up on stage, Chris obviously wanted to show the world that he's not this "Nice Guy" everyone's talking about:
Tuesday, 21 February 2006 - Coldplay nominated for Juno Awards

Tuesday, 21 February 2006 - Confusing Split rumours
Chris Martin shocked all the fans when he announced at last week's Brit Awards, that we won't see them "for many, many years". He said "people are fed up with us. And so are we". Immediately, tabloids all over the world said Coldplay would split - which is, of course, not true! EMI told the press that the band will finish its 2006 tour, taking a little break afterwards and will then head off to work on the new album. According to the latest interview of Chris Martin, the next album is even supposed to be released "within the next 12 months".
How did the lads react on the split rumours - with humour, of course:
In addition to a "new album within the next 12 months", Chris' voice can be heard on Nelly Furtado's new album. As I reported a few months ago, he features on one of the songs produced by Timbaland.
Wednesday, 15 February 2006 - Coldplay win 2 Brit Awards

Thursday, 26 January 2006 - News Roundup
A baby boy for Chris and Gwyneth!
It has been claimed that Chris Martin and his wife Gwyneth Paltrow are expecting a boy. Tabloids have already written a few weeks ago that Chris would plan to call the boy "Capone", but this is (hopefully) nonsense! The American actress once said that she'd like to name her first son after her beloved father Bruce Paltrow, who died in 2003.
Gwyneth's mum, actress Blythe Danner, says she is over the moon at becoming a granny again. She told American magazine InTouch: "I don't know how much more excited I could be." And she said her daughter was a great mum. She added: "Gwyneth is very serene with the baby. I observe her and she is extraordinary."
Sources close to the star say the couple's second child will be a brother for the pair's 20-month-old daughter Apple. A friend said: "It's definitely a boy."
So, finally a Chris jr.
Coldplay to perform at this year's Grammy Awards

Saturday, 14 January 2006 - The mistery behind the name 'Apple'
After Gwyneth and Chris decided to call their little baby daughter 'Apple' people all over the world were wondering what they were thinking. Here's the answer of Gwyneth Paltrow: "It conjured such a lovely picture for me - you know, apples are so sweet and they're wholesome and it's biblical - and I just thought it sounded so lovely and ... clean. And I just thought: 'Perfect!'" Furthermore, Gwyneth told us that it was her hubby, our lovely Chris Martin, who came up with the idea of the name soon after she discovered she was pregnant!

Friday, 13 January 2006 - Gwyneth confirms pregnancy
I know, I know, we've been talking about Chris and Gwyn's second baby for months now, but now the woman who simply HAS TO KNOW IT, finally broke her silence. Gwyneth Paltrow, the beautiful American actress who's married with Chris Martin since December 2003 and who already gave birth to a wonderful daughter in May 2004, confirmed her pregnancy. After the special screening of her latest movie "Proof" (which, by the way, has inspired her hubby Chris to the b-side of 'Speed of Sound'), a reporter, calling her a pregnant woman, asked her: "How far along are you?" and she replied happily: "Far enough along to feel very cumbersome."
There were recently already rumours that she told her friend and colleague Orlando Bloom how much she loves her big boobs during her pregnancy, but she's never confirmed her pregnancy officially in public. As it's finally confirmed by the mother herself now, I promise there'll be no more baby news until the little brother or sisters for Apple arrives

Tuesday, 10 January 2006 - MEANINGFUL MOMENT IN FANS' HISTORY
This year is starting VERY, VERY good
All of you hardcore Coldplay fans out there probably know what I'm talking about when I mention "Ode to Deodorant" - it's the first song they ever played as an ensemble in 1998. They always said they don't want anyone to hear it, because it's actually "shit". But fans, of course, were always hoping for getting it one day. It was released as a double A-side demo cassette tape for local concert promoters.
As there are also a few rare limited copies, it hasn't appeared anywhere on the web yet, but yesterday, a user from the coldplaying.com message board called Corricopatcat told us that she actually owns this tape and will upload the two rare songs tomorrow! Everyone's excited and in shock to finally get this rare, special song! To get it as soon as it's uploaded, check out the Multimedia section at the coldplaying.com forum!
For all the ones who can't wait, here's what Corricopatcat wrote about the song:
It has a 4/4 time and lotsa "wah-wah" guitar after a melodic chiming entry. Then goes into some more of a rock beat. This is all very raw, with Chris' vocals in the background too much.
The melody line, as played on my tape and from my memory, was
c# d c#...c# d c# b a g f#...repeat then transition to something else.
Very minor chords, but a good tune.
All we could glean from the lyrics is as follows:
"It's medicine (or my thing)...
"It gets me through the day...
"It's the confidence I need.
It's medicine for the nose, yeah, medicine for it.
"(something something) aerosol...
"Would I ever let you go? No way."
All the classic Chris vocal ingenuity is there (octave jumps, etc.).
This tape also has the demo of "Bigger Stronger", slowere, veryy raw, lotsa wah-wah- guitar, too.
Tuesday, 27 December 2005 - South America tour in Autumn 2006
It seems like there's new hope for more tour dates in 2006. On the Radio 2 show of Ken Bruce today, Chris told us that there'll be more tour dates in South America in autumn 2006! As soon as I know more details and exact dates, you'll find out here!
To listen to the show again, including the special live set of three songs, click here.
Tuesday, 27 December 2005 - Jonny did NOT get married
Good news for Jonny-OBSESSED fans and bad news for true Jonny fans 
Those who were always hoping to get the only Coldplay guy who isn't married can still hope: The rumour that Jonny Buckland got married this year is NOT true! The rumour was started by Chris Martin himself who mentioned Jonny's WIFE on a radio interview. According to the band's friend Debs Wild, "it didn't happen."
Anyway, I hope everything's fine with Jonny and his beautiful girlfriend and look forward to a possible wedding of them both in the future You can listen to Chris' statement on Radio 1 again here. You can also watch the exclusive video of their performance at Jo Whiley's Live Lounge here.
Friday, 23 December 2005 - Is Jonny married?
On yesterday's Live Lounge on Radio 1, Chris mentioned Jonny's WIFE - and fans were immediately asking each other if it's true: Did Jonny get married recently??
Until now, we've only known that Will was the one who married first (Marianne and him married a few years ago), followed by Chris (who married actress Gwyneth Paltrow in 2003) and Guy (who married the beautiful designer Joanna in 2004). It was only known that Jonny has a longtime girlfriend, but there weren't any details about an engagement or a marriage at all.
So what's the matter now? As soon as we know more, you'll find out here! For everyone who hasn't seen Jonny's "wife" before, here's a picture of him and Chloe:

The following picture shows that he wasn't too keen to talk about details in the street, so he stayed put in the driver's seat and the other motorist talked to him through the window.
