Bono has apologized for a dig he made about Coldplay vocalist Chris Martin on BBC Radio.
Bono was on BBC Radio 1 Friday morning promoting U2’s new album when he made the following statement:
“I think he’s that good a melodist, but he’s a wanker… He’s obviously a completely dysfunctional character and a cretin.”
Can you imagine? Oh my!
Bono then quickly backtracked by saying to the radio show host:
“I think they [Coldplay] are a great band and actually, it turns out he’s a great soul as well. Sorry about that. I was just joking entirely.”
I think he was just joking because the guys played together at the War Child Benefit Concert. Bono and The Killer’s Brandon Flowers joined Coldplay on stage to play The Killers’ All These Things That I’ve Done together. Here’s a twitpic from the grand finale:
The concert happened just after Wednesday night’s Brit Awards, Coldplay and The Killers performed a benefit concert for War Child at Shepherd’s Bush in London.
The NME reported:
Then, having only rehearsed minutes beforehand backstage, The Killers and Bono joined Coldplay onstage to perform ‘All These Things That I’ve Done’ together.
Although the U2 man was a bit shaky on the lyrics to The Killers song, the three frontmen led the crowd through a rousing sing-a-long as they repeated the tracks “I’ve got soul/ but I’m not a soldier” refrain.
“This is going to be the best encore you’ll ever see!” declared Martin as the three acts wrapped up the night.
No Doubt fans will be able to see the group perform together real soon.
It’s already been reported that the group will reunite on tour this summer, but get this… they will be performing a cover song for a future episode of Gossip Girl! Can you believe it?
You better because they’ve even confirmed the news on their official site.
The band says:
“Mark your calendars to see No Doubt perform “Stand And Deliver” (originally by Adam And The Ants) for the first time ever on Gossip Girl, May 11, 8/7c on The CW”
Since the photo of Rihanna’s injuries she received after the alleged beat down she got from Chris Brown circulated online and television, he’s been receiving threats. A source told Life & Style:
“Chris is scared. Not only did he probably lose his career and his girlfriend, but he’s also fearing for his security and his life. Chris is a marked man. He faces criminal charges and possible jail time, but he’s going to have to deal with Rihanna’s legion of fans and her close-knit friends in the industry. That photo was the last straw. The threats started pouring in the moment that appeared online.”
I remember seeing a video of JayZ laying the pimp hand down on some chica on Youtube and there wasn’t too much fuss about it, as all the radio stations still played his music.
Then there is R Kelly’s sex tape with a minor… when that came out Jay Z still went on tour with him and everyone still played his music on the radio as well.
The public is fickle at times. They’ll let some people slide, while others don’t get cut the same slack. Wonder why?
Passion Nightclub in Hollywood, Florida, is willing to try again.

Adnan Ghalib, the paparazzi ex-boyfriend of Britney Spears is now charged with three felonies because he smashed his car into a process server a couple weeks ago. There’s also a warrant out for his arrest.
The L.A. County District Attorney has charged him with with the following:
assault with a deadly weapon
battery
hit and run
Adnan hit the man who was a process server who was reportedly trying to serve him with legal papers on behalf of Britney Spears. The incident happened in an alley and after being struck by Adnans’ car the server landed on the hood and held on to avoid being rammed into a garbage truck while the freak kept on driving!
Not a smart move on Adnan’s part. What’s wrong with just accepting the documents?
Carrie Underwood wore an absolutely gorgeous Georges Chakra Spring 2009 Couture dress at the 2009 Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Academy Award Viewing Party. The celebrity bash was held at the Pacific Design Center in Hollywood on Sunday night (February 22).
She is a very talented, classy, beautiful young woman with a style all her own when it comes to her wardrobe, makeup, hair and the way she presents herself. I think she looks adorable all dollied up in designer couture or in just jeans and a tee.
Here’s a sweet picture of real life couple, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens from when they were rehearsing on stage at LA’s Kodak Theater for one of the biggest musical numbers of tonight’s 2009 Oscars. I found it on another site justjared.com
By now you’ve probably seen all the other singers and dancers that were on stage during their performance. It was quite the musical production!
Beyonce arrived wearing this stunning gorgeous strapless black gown with metallic embellishments to the 2009 Oscars held at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday night (February 22).
Beyonce joined host Hugh Jackman, Mamma Mia! stars Amanda Seyfreid and Dominic Cooper, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, on stage for a special musical performance.
There seems to be quite a bit of chatter as to whether Beyonce was lipsynching during her musical number with Hugh Jackman or was she singing to a track? Some others suggest she used auto-tune, or that she may have relied a wee bit too much on her background singers.
Although fans were supposed to wait another month before the official release for Kelly Clarkson’s new “All I Ever Wanted” album, the Norway division of iTunes mistakenly leaked it onto the Internet.
Supposedly users of the Norwegian iTunes were able to initially first stream 30-second-clips of the new album, but they then found out they could purchase the entire album! Then boom, the album hit P2P sites and message boards around the world.
Her album is a great comeback. Will Apple have to cough up and pay big bucks to Kelly and her record label for this major screw up?
Taylor Swift is on the cover of the March 2009 of Rolling Stone.
The article’s caption reads, “The world’s biggest new pop star is a little bit country, a little bit rock & roll, and all control freak.”
Nashville’s little princess took to her blog to talk about how honored she is to be on the famed magazine’s cover. She said:
“I’m so excited, I can’t even stand it. It’s on news stands now, and I haven’t seen it yet because I’m in London, but I just can’t believe I get to be on the cover of Rolling Stone. Wow. This is crazy.”
I’m not loving her hairstyle for the cover photo as it’s normally so sleek and shiny, but whatever, she’s a talented girl and it’s nice to see she’s thrilled and excited to be recognized.
