We're so glad that they're making this stop during their Mylo Xyloto touring -- Coldplay is going to headline the closing ceremonies of the London Paralympic Summer Games!
They call it the Festival of Flame.
Here's what Chris Martin had to say:
"Being asked to play at the closing celebrations for the Paralympic athletes in London is such a great honor for us. We are so happy to be involved. It will be one of the biggest nights of our lives and we're very excited to try to create a performance for the last night of the games that will close London 2012 in style."
Their excitement is contagious!
The show will be held at the Olympic Stadium attended by athletes with physical disabilities from around the globe.
Don't worry, though, because the rest of the world will get to see it too: it's being broadcasted to a worldwide audience of over 750 million! You're probably one of those!
Looks like being pissed off at the world helped...
Sean Penn just raised $2 million for Haiti while at the Cannes Film Festival!
This comes right on the heels of Penn yelling at the world for abandoning Haiti after their 2010 earthquake, and it seems like Penn's and Paul Haggis' idea to fundraise at the even more than paid off.
The event was the first ever for the festival since 1996, and was the first time that three separate charities banded together to help one cause.
The last time the festival did anything like this came in the form of benefit screenings!
The main breadwinner for the charities was the auction. It included a three day trip to Haiti WITH Sean Penn (each of the three bidders who won promised over $128k each!), a Bono guitar, a lunch date with a Victoria's Secret Angel, and VIP access to their 2012 fashion show!
So fab! We're glad that Sean witness that while some people may have forgotten, not everyone in the world has!
Raising awareness again will certainly help people come back around!
After years of stalking asking Justin Bieber to prom, one lucky high school student Cady Eimer, got something BETTER – an invite to the Billboard Music Awards!!!
Although the superstar didn't ask to be her Boyfriend, he did ask the 18-year-old student to be his date for the entire night!
The Biebs says:
"I couldn't make it [to prom] so I said 'I need you to fly to the Billboard Awards and you can be my date'.
[Cady is] a big fan and I thought it would be fun."
Besides being a super fan, we think it also helps that she's super cute!!!
David Beckham will be carrying the Olympic torch to Britain!
He will be in Athens, Greece at the official handover ceremony.
Though he won't have to run back home to England, he'll be taking a flight with the torch back to the U.K.
Beckham was part of the delegation that helped London secure the Summer Games for 2012 and he's a super talented, super gorgeous athlete so of course he should carry the torch.
He will be one of 8,000 people that will carry the torch during a 70-day relay that will start in Cornwall, southern England, and reach the Shetland Islands, off Scotland's north coast.
We're starting to get really excited for the Olympics!
Seems Justin Bieber is in a lot of trouble this Memorial Day weekend.

While the exact details of the fight have yet to be released, SEVERAL sources have confirmed that Justin got into a physical altercation with a paparazzo, who was trying to snap the winning pic of the darling pair.
