Nice to see they can have a laugh at themselves (and Simon Cowell)!

Is it weird that we love the deep and close friendship between Jay-Z and Coldplay's Chris Martin??

The Jay-Z/Coldplay tour hit up Wembley Stadium in London this weekend, and the rapper ambushed his BFF with a hug while Martin was playing the piano!

Awww.

"It was a strange moment," a fan in attendance revealed. "Everyone went wild when Jay-Z joined the boys on stage but seeing him grab Chris away from the piano and onto the floor was a bit weird to say the least."

True friends!

The two apparently rolled around on the stage floor for some time before Jay-Z let Martin continue with the show.

We wanna see video!

Earlier this year, the boys of Coldplay found themselves in a sticky situation when guitarist Joe Satriani accused Chris Martin and the band of plagiarizing his song and creating Viva La Vida.

Yesterday, victory was sweet and perhaps costly for Chris and Co. as a judge announced the lawsuit was dismissed "upon stipulation", which suggests that they settled the matter out-of-court.

How much did that guy's silence cost you, Chris?

A pretty penny, we imagine.

Gesundheit!

Coldplay have cancelled postponed their concert at the Ford Amphitheatre in Tampa this Sunday due to "artist-related medical reasons."

Bummer!

The official statement on the band's website reads:

We're sorry to report that Coldplay have been forced to postpone their show at the Ford Amphitheatre in Tampa on Sunday, August 9th.

This is due to medical reasons.

The show is currently being rescheduled - we'll give you the new details as soon as we have them.

In the meantime, the band have asked us to apologise on their behalf for the inconvenience this causes.

Wonder what's up????

Relentless douchebag Chris Martin has commented on accusations that he has ripped off guitarist Joe Satriani's song If I Could Fly, which bears resemblance to hit Viva La Vida.

AND, Yusaf Islam, formerly Cat Stevens, recently had some beef with the band! He too is claiming that Viva La Vida rips off one of his songs.

Says Martin, "If everyone's trying to take away our best song, then we'd better write 25 better ones. And so just at the point where I was thinking about getting fat and becoming complacent, I've been finding more inspiration. Now we've got more to prove than ever before. Some people are suing us at the moment and although it was initially a bit depressing, now it's become really inspiring."

25 better songs = 25 more lawsuits!

You think they'd learn!

Ever heard of originality?!
