"I always felt it would be great to be with a very powerful woman because it would keep you in your place. Being married to someone very successful and very powerful basically keeps you hungry to improve. You've got to be hungry. If your wife went out with Brad Pitt, you'd want to prove yourself, you know what I mean?"

- Chris Martin tells the new issue of Rolling Stone

      Nice quote. I do hope, however that Bo Didley got more than just a quick blurb in the magazine. I think its a shame he didn't at least rate the cover.

      Wonder if he talks about following on the coat tails and trying to sound exactly like U2? This group is a rip-off.

      22

      Ugh…he is such a lame ass Bono wanna be. Their new song sucks and they totally sucked it up at the Mtv Movie Awards. I hate that people (such as Entertainment Weekly I believe) keep saying they are the new U2…they are SOOO not.

      If by "very successful" he meant fairly successful and by "very powerful" he meant "very overrated, like my music", then yeah…I guess he could be describing whatsherface.

      Re: andre – Dude seriously stop posting this in every freaking comment section!! Its really annoying and stupid, and you need to grow up; I really doubt it happened, you're making a bigger ass out of yourself by caring soooo much about it, what are you, twelve?? I mean, you work at Hot Topic?? So you're probably some loser twenty-year old kid who decided he was too good for college or something and doesn't have anything better to do than rag on someone who is actually successful and post the same stupid, UNTRUE comment in EVERY post! GET OVER YOURSELF NO ONE CARES OR BELIEVES YOU! MAKE YOUR OWN WEBSITE OR SOMETHING BUT GET A DAMN LIFE AND LEAVE PEREZ ALONE HE IS AWESOME AND SUCCESSFUL AND YOU ARE JUST A JEALOUS PR*CK

      Calling Chris Martin - your're married to an over-indulged actress!
      He's clearly losing it! Does Gwynnie really intimdate him that much?

    26. WTF says – reply to this


      26

      It must be a gimmick band otherwise they got nothing. Striving so hard to bring somethng different in. Ain't gonna work if there's no talent. So glad we're headed back to basic R & R. Give it time. All this hip hop/rap crap will be gone.

      Saw that Family Guy episode last night-you know, the one where Stewie gets off on Lois whupping on him and burning him with cigarettes and stuff.
      Why do I mention it? Oh, no reason really…

      "If your wife went out with Brad Pitt, you'd want to prove yourself, you know what I mean?"
      So being a powerful woman means doing the stinky with a department store mannequin, eh Chris?

      Chris Martin needn't worry about any comparison between him and Bad Pittstain, because there is none. They're completely different. And Chris Martin, honey, keep in mind, Bad Pittstain is a fan of YOURS.

      1. The only real rock god of the past decade is Jack White.

      2. Bo Diddley, a REAL rock god (past or present) deserved the cover, not this ridiculous overrated ass.

      Coldplay seems ok.. But Chris Martin seems like an asshole, Gwyenyth (sry for the spelling) once said in an interview that they can not be seen by the media together, because Chris doesn't like it. WTF is that! They have two children. What money shot is he going to show if they hold hands in public. PRICK!…anyways i love Perez and this Andre or feces character has to run jump off a building!

      Four reasons why Chris Martin is better than Brad Pitt:
      1) He married one woman and stayed with her.
      2) His music is beautiful.
      3) He has a British accent.
      4) His kids are his own biological kids.

      One reason why Brad Pitt is better….
      1) He looked hot in Troy.

      Chris Martin is a very intelligent, sophisticated, artistic man. People that don't understand his music are probably death. I don't think its nice to compare him to Bono because they're different in my opinion and I hate how the media likes to compare. By the way, their new song Viva La Vida rocks! Its the number 1 song right now on itunes, and its about time real music comes out. Can't wait for the new album and to see them in concert.

      I LOVE Coldplay!

      Re: s –
      You are right
      I shouldget a Perez haters website
      I guess looking at this site and seeing how much he rips people apart (IE Rumor Willis etc etc) makes me angry and wishes he would do something more constructive with his time

      I know there are many people that read this because it is addictive but feel the same way as me.
      there is a difference between celeb gossip and just plain hating on people

      In the end I see nothing wrong with hating on Perezhilton
      he is an obnoxious self loathing celebrity wanna be

      Do I wish I were him? Hardly
      Do I wish he would do something more constructive with his fame…Yes
      And leave some of the young people trying to make it alone
      AND stop picking on people for the way they look.

      he lives in a HUGE GLASS HOUSE and INsists on throwing stone

      PS I am not the only one posting the thing about his store opening

      PEACE OUT PRICK

      I figured he was that superficial. He married an IDIOT so he doesn't mention how he'd have to keep up with her intellectually. How can he LISTEN to that nasally whining voice of his wife? She is so stupid. And I have never seen her where she didn't seem homely- so I guess having show biz parents and speilberg for a godfather really pays off!

      What the hell is wrong with this dumb ass? Since when is Paltrow considered "a powerful woman" and because she banged Pitt she should be considered that. Please, for one, Paltrow is a spoiled brat. Pitt proved to have no balls and be fully controlled by Jolie. Pitt may be a very good looking man, with a soft spot, but when a man is controlled in the fashion he's been since getting involved with Jolie is simply embarrassing. And please, don't tell me that anyone would be that way if one was involved with her. And for the record, Jolie is a psycho. I don't buy that humanitarian facade.

      Of course — this guy tries to pretend he is not Hollywood at all, but really he sucks Hwood di** more than anyone. Just be thankful how lucky you are — that mediocrity rules! That is the reason for your success you idiot! And GP is not powerful, but a Hollywood whore!

      Hmm, never thought about it that way. Once upon a time Gwyneth dated Brad Pitt. Heck weren't they engaged too? So yeah, Chris must have had some issues like just his luck he follows someone like Brad Pitt into Gwyneth's bed! I'd like to ask Gwyneth what exactly it was about Chris that she would want to be with him and have his children. :D

      Talk about superfuckingficial. Chris, your wife is a nepotistic ACTRESS for chrissakes. She shills PERFUME. No doubt Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck probably wake up every morning thankful they dodged that bullet.

    72. Miss says – reply to this


      72

      So… dating Brad Pitt made Gwyneth "powerful"? Overexposed, yes. Powerful, no. This guy is an pompous, overrated ass.

    73. huh? says – reply to this


      73

      I don't really get what means. Brad wouldn't be so powerful without his good looks. Very few people appreciate Brad for his acting.

      I love you so much Chris, youre gorgeous and have the voice of angel, but to compare yourself to Brad Pitt is meaningless. Youre so successful and talented already… and striving to make yourself the best you can be is really inspiring. I love you and the band and will always be grateful for the music thats changed my life and which brings me so much joy and appreciation of this thing called: LIFE!

      weird statement. so don't be with a woman because you LOVE her, but because she is successful & powerful? s h a l l o w. i like some of his music, but how rotten must his soul be. albeit, i respect his honesty.

      Oh and a Brad Pitt he is SOO NOT!!!! Dude ain't got the looks, the talent or the hottest woman in the world!

      Eeewwww…. coldplay suck, they don't even deserve capital letters. All their ideas for their music(which is rubbish) drained them out so they had to copy MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE's marching band uniform ideas!! They just added their dustbinman twist to it. If the saw chris whatshisface on the streets of London and a dark night, i would defenately think he was a begger, give him a penny and send him on his way down to the bottom of the charts.

      It's also the second time that he has said something about Brad Pitt like that — like being sloppy seconds to Brad Pitt and Radiohead. It is just gross. He is so obsessed with Pitt that you almost think he just went with Gwenyth so his dick could be in the same hole that Brad's had been in. Yuck.

      I hate writing this but I have to. I attended Coldplay's 'historic' free concert at MSG last night. Chris Martin was funny and all… a great showman as dudes with inflated ego's tend to be… but they sucked! If you're going to give a free concert - and boy was I grateful and happy to be there - then perform with that sense of heart and soul as you would and should in any venue of any size, regardless of whether it's a free show or not. I think Will was the best - he sang a short solo and that's where the heart of the show was for about the one or one and half minute length of his solo. Chris was smug and laughable, not comical. Best part - no enchore. What the fuck?!? They need to get more millions thrown at them to perform well, I guess. Really sad - no more heart and soul from those guys. Any thoughts from anyone else who attended?
