Thanks! Where did you get this title?

Crystaline · 12-29-2010, 01:29 PM

From that interview he did recently with Shane Warne. They were doing a series of quick fire questions and Chris was asked what else does his ambidexterity come in handy for besides table tennis, and he said knitting.

LMAO. What a word.

Great title, I will say!

Crystaline · 12-30-2010, 12:21 AM

Right? I can barely pronounce that sucker. But leave it to Chris to be so capable. He WOULD be good at using both hands really well.

BBC - Newsbeat - Jay-Z: Coldplay's Chris Martin like a 'brother'

Quote:

It's traditional to spend New Year with friends and family and Jay-Z gets to do both this year - and gets paid for it - by performing in Las Vegas with Coldplay.

The US rapper has told Newsbeat that Coldplay's Chris Martin is his "brother from another mother," and admits he sees him as often as possible.

"I see him more than my own brother," he admitted. "Actually, I do!"

Coldplay and Jay Z will play separate gigs, plus a joint performance, on 31 December at the new Cosmopolitan casino and resort in Las Vegas.

The luxury complex is rumoured to have cost £2.5bn and only opened a few weeks ago with an ceremony that featured Killers frontman Brandon Flowers.

The invitation-only New Year's event is sold out, and while Jay-Z admits the show is expensive he also says it'll be relatively intimate.

The lucky few in the audience will no doubt be keen to see Jay-Z and Chris Martin perform a track or two together. Luckily the pair have history.

In 2006 they collaborated on the rapper's track Beach Chair, and again in 2008 for the Coldplay song Lost.

They have also performed live together several times - in London, at the 2009 Grammy Awards, and at a gig to open the New York Yankees' stadium in September.

Coldplay 'genius'

The hip hop mogul is also upbeat about the chances of recording a new collaboration with Chris Martin: "If he'll allow me", he told Newsbeat.

The rapper called the British singer-songwriter "one of the geniuses of our generation."

"Any time you can collaborate with that sort of genius, you jump at the chance, I don't care who you are."

However, another duet with wife Beyonce could be different matter.

It's been a while since Bonnie & Clyde reached number two in the UK chart in 2002, and Jay-Z says another hook-up could still be a long way off.

"I don't think she'll allow me," Jay-Z admitted. "But we'll see!"

"It's her music, it's always the person's choice. You can't just turn up at their door and say 'I want to be on track four'.

"Otherwise I would've been at Bono's house!"

Will never stop being weird.

That they're best beds? Yeah, it's strange to say the least.

Crystaline · 01-01-2011, 03:28 PM

It's so random. But who wouldn't want to be best friends with Chris? I sure do.

Carlie06 · 01-03-2011, 11:31 PM

Chris' hair looks full blown BROWN. Wth!

Crystaline · 01-04-2011, 12:57 AM

It does, right? It's like when he grows it out into a fro, then it's blonde.

Carlie06 · 01-04-2011, 03:33 PM

So random.

I've never seen that happen before.

How was the performance? I haven't caught it yet.

Crystaline · 01-04-2011, 09:07 PM

I haven't seen it yet, but I did watch the one with him playing piano while Beyonce sang Halo. That was good. He blew a kiss at her when he was done.

Carlie06 · 01-05-2011, 10:44 AM

Awww, so sweet. Beyonce has been out of the news lately. I'm glad for that.

Crystaline · 01-06-2011, 12:33 AM

Has she? I still see and hear about her too much. Maybe I need to stop going on ONTD.

Have you ever read this interview with Chris and Ricky Gervais? It's so funny. I wish there was an audio of it so i could hear Ricky's laugh, lol.

Carlie06 · 01-06-2011, 04:52 PM

Yes, I've seen it. I love the bit about Simon Pegg.

You saw the video interview? i love that one. Way too short.
