During a live performance last Friday on the Today show, Coldplay decided to take it back to album numero uno and give their fans something they all could sing along to – the Grammy-winning song "Clocks." Aside from the fact that Chris Martin was a hot, sweaty mess in his tight-fitted hipster-wear, we (for once) have no real complaints about the performance as a whole

That's what everyone has been buzzing about for the past few days. Turns out the Brooklyn band Creaky Boards has created a video showing the striking resemblance between their song and Coldplay's new "Viva la Vida" featured on the latest iTunes commercial. The songwriter claims he wrote the tune over a year before Chris Martin released his song and has the footage to prove it. Worst part of it all? The first version's title is "The Songs I Didn't Write." How's that for added irony?

After two million downloads in a one week period, it's a fair assumption that Coldplay fanatics can't get enough of the bands first single "Violet Hill" off their upcoming album Viva La Vida. The Grammy-winning band is also booked to perform the single at the 2008 MTV Movie Awards. It's been quite a wait for fans to hear any new music from the band (2005 to be precise when X&Y came out). Three years is far too long to go without any of Chris' fabulous falsetto! Watch it now! | More online videos

Andy stars in a PSA in which he asks the question, “What would you rather, your child die of thirst or dysentery?” A question very similar to the ones Maggie asks of him from time to time. Chris Martin from Coldplay is up next on the PSA bandwagon and proves even more inappropriate than Andy and his friends. Chris banters about whether or not the dying children could hold his band’s new CD in a promotional spot. Then he tries to wiggle his way onto Andy’s show. Once accomplished, Chris is fed up, “Can we get on with this? I’ve got to do AIDS and Alzheimer’s and landmines this afternoon. And I want to get back for Deal or No Deal. Plus, Gwyneth’s making drumsticks.”Understandably, Andy doesn’t want to have Chris on "When the Whistle Blows" promoting his album, because people will think he’s sold out once again, and they wouldn’t be wrong. But the more flamboyant producer trumps him and has Chris on the show. Andy’s sad...
