When young Apple Martin heads back to school in the fall, her “How I Spent My Summer Vacation” essay may include a few lines about what it’s like to listen to ‘N—-s in Paris’ on repeat for several hours: Her famous mom and dad, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin of Coldplay, are reportedly planning a family summer sojourn with Jay-Z and Beyonce.

Adele and LMFAO won big at Sunday's Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, with the soulful Brit taking home a whopping 12 trophies, including Top Artist and Top Female Artist.

During a concert in Los Angeles Friday, Coldplay paid homage to late Beastie Boys rapper Adam (MCA) Yauch with a rendition of the group's "(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right to Party". Here's the video.

Coldplay are finally making their way to ‘American Idol,’ but luckily won’t have to face the judgement of Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Aerosmith‘s Steven Tyler. The Britpop mainstays will perform during a results show next month.

Like any other parent of young children, Coldplay‘s Chris Martin is exposed to a lot of kids’ entertainment — but where many parents might just sigh and turn on the DVD player for the umpteenth viewing of ‘Kung Fu Panda 2,’ Martin has drawn on the animated hit for some heavy-duty life inspiration.

The 2012 Summer Olympics in London is less than four months away, and rumor has it Adele will be one of the performers at the closing ceremony (see what we did there?). Other famous Brit musicians that might appear include Coldplay, Blur and more. While nothing has been confirmed, controversy is already surrounding the event due to news of both the opening and closing ceremony musical performances

Chris Mann is the resident opera singer on this season’s ‘The Voice,’ and for the most part he’s stuck to his guns so far, singing classic tunes when his fellow contestants were busting out versions of the latest contemporary pop hits. Not this week. Instead, Mann tried his hand at the Coldplay mega-hit ‘Viva La Vida.’

Coldplay have finalized their 2012 North American tour, adding dance-pop singer Robyn as one of their opening acts, in addition to lining up performances on ‘Jimmy Kimmel’ this weekend following the Oscars and at the Amnesty International Secret Policeman’s Ball one week later in New York City.

British citizens should be proud of their fellow brethren Adele, Coldplay and Florence + the Machine, thanks to their performances at the 2012 BRIT Awards last night (Feb. 21.) They should also adopt Rihanna, because the Bajan beauty also brought the house down with her performance.

Rihanna and Coldplay combined dance and rock music on a medley performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards that included hits from each artist as well as their collaboration ‘Princess of China.’

Not only will Katy Perry and Coldplay be performing on the Grammy Stage Feb. 12, the two popsters will be honoring Paul McCartney two days prior at this year’s MusiCares tribute concert. Alicia Keys is also listed as a performer.

Rihanna contributed vocals to Coldplay‘s song ‘Princess of China’ on ‘Mylo Xyloto.’ While it’s quite possible that RiRi, Chris Martin and co. were never in the same room when she laid down her vocals, thanks to the wonders of technology, they will get on the same stage this February, when they perform together for the first time at the Grammys.
