Of course, it took till yesterday to see that Coldplay genius (sorry, my opinion, sue me if you don't like it) Chris Martin actually does have some sort of fight in him after all.

That is, regarding his marriage to über-bore Gwyneth Paltrow, with whom he has two oddly named children. But what's really weird in this whole scenario is how utterly disconnected to the two have become: While Martin's continued to make relevant, arguably cutting-edge music, his wife has discarded her Hollywood career (and Oscar, it would seem) in favor of becoming BFFs with with Madonna and cutting open chickens on her lame-ass website, Goop.

I mean, who wouldn't go kiss another woman at a concert, as Star has reported Martin as having done, if that was who you were married to? Martin, apparently, as he's now suing the tabloid, saying the whole thing's made up.

Guess, I just think it's a little weird, seeing such a finally decisive reaction from Martin, when folks have been buzzing for well over a year this marriage smells worse than Gywnnie's latest films. I mean, come on, Chris, just a li'l ole "everything's cool" ages ago would have been more assuring. You sure are protesting a lot. Nobody said you were fornicating, after all.
