Chris Martin: "Nobody wants a fat pop star"

[barrington]

Chris Martin is on a diet.
The Coldplay frontman revealed the whole band has been forced to swap tasty "baked goods" for salads after they piled on the pounds while working on their new album 'Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends'.
Chris said: "It happens whenever we have some downtime, usually between albums. We get very hairy and kind of morph into Bill Oddie (British TV presenter) - we have stacked on the weight."
The singer revealed he decided to do something about his weight after receiving weight loss advice from an unusual source - Primal Scream bassist Mani.
Chris added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Mani was eating a sandwich and I asked him what was in it. He told me it was salad and that I should eat the same. Mani warned us that nobody wants a fat pop star."
He told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "I feel like you've got to write as many songs as you can between the ages of 28 and 33 because those are your last few years before you get a belly.
"I couldn't possibly write a hit record when I've got a beer belly, so we're just going to try to write as many songs as possible before that D-Day, or B-Day it should be - for Belly Day."
Chris has now banned calorific club sandwiches from their catering menu while they are on tour promoting their new album.
A source said: "They love club sandwiches and know they would be tempted to eat quite a few if they were available."

Christ, will someone shut this asshole up?

[Beeyotch]

So apparently the one huge thing he and Gwynnie have in common is diarrhea of the mouth!! They both need publicists glued to their sides during interviews!

Although I must confess the first thing I thought he was talking about when I read the title was Britney!

[arie_skop]

I really dislike this person now. Don't why I even liked his music years ago - I find it so dull.

If you're the 'pop star' then no one wants a skinny one either.

[DitaPage*]

I cant stand him but he's kind of funny because he's so stupid. Looking forward to the next fucked up quote, buddy!

[Sarzy]

God, does this douche ever shut up? No-one wants a boring pop star who's singing voice sounds comatose either, but Chris fits that bill.

[Rondette]

I hope he's taking the piss and been quoted out of context. If you read it in an ironic way it's actually quite funny.

[Eli]

So they dropped shit onto the airwaves but gained weight?

[sparkly]

He obviously thinks we care about every little detail of his stupid life. He must get that crap from self-centered Fishsticks.

[AgentOrange]

If they just drank more, and abused drugs, then they wouldn't have that problem. Look at Keith Richards and Ron Wood. They might look like corpses that have escaped from the mortuary, but they've got zero body fat!

[dexter7]

what about a pop star with a six-pack named chewbaca?

[MrVader66]

What planet is this idiot from?

[Linne]

I love Gwyneth and I have had nothing against him but geez STFU Chris enough already!!!

[tkdgirl]

He and Katherine Heigl would make the perfect, obnoxious couple.
