Coldplay Meet Jon Stewart, Chris Martin Giggles

The men of Coldplay are still in NYC after doing their free show at MSG, Chris Martin is still in NYC because I imagine he and Gwyneth have fabulous loft spaces in all of the world's great cities. Yet for the extended stay and the ample closet space, the band refuses to change clothes, right down to Will's sheer shirt and tie combination, and Chris's dusty jacket (it's dirty being revolutionary in the French countryside, guys) with "V" emblazoned white undershirt. My guess? They smell. (Despite the daily dry cleaning.) Regardless, they sound nice on "42," they sound great on "Lost!" which is a bona fide Viva jam, and they make Jon feel silly in his used car salesman suit (which in turn makes Chris effusively giggly). Celebrities, they're neurotic just like us! Except when they channel their neuroses into world-moving entertainment. That's a pretty cool trick.

"42"

"Lost!"

Chris says the Daily Show is in fact his only commitment on the night, but that's not quite true -- Billboard.com has him taking in Pearl Jam at MSG (Chris says in the new Rolling Stone he started out trying to sound lke EdVed). Apparently the Olsen twins were at the PJ show too; incidentally, they also were spotted at Bonnaroo taking in some sidestage action with Eddie Vedder in tow. I'm not usually one for that sort of gossip but srsly guys, what is that.
