Chris Martin paid tribute to fellow English artist Amy Winehouse with a haunting rendition of "Rehab" during a concert in LA last night. Coldplay did the same at their Splendour in the Grass performance on Sunday. Several celebrities were in the audience to catch the performance, including a newly-single Kate Bosworth, who showed off a colourful new hairdo. Check it out in today's PopSugar Rush!
Around 30,000 people travelled to Woodford in Queensland for Splendour in the Grass over the weekend. Eagle-eyed festival goers may have spotted Kate Moss on Friday, who was there to support her husband Jamie Hince and The Kills. Other acts who rocked the event on Friday include Modest Mouse, The Hives, Does It Offend You, Yeah? and, of course, Kanye West, who closed the first night with a spectacular set that included 30 dancers. Saturday saw artists such as Regina Spektor and Perry Farnell take to the stage, and then on Sunday night it was all about Coldplay, who closed the festival. Chris Martin smashed two guitars during his show, and the band played a sweet Amy Winehouse tribute by singing a bit of “Rehab” before segueing into “Fix You.” Unfortunately rumours that Jay-Z and Gwyneth Paltrow had flown in for Splendour proved to be false, but it was still a memorable music event that pleased tens of thousands of music lovers.
Note to music artists: when the creator of a TV show that has grown to be a pop culture phenomenon asks if they can use your music on the show, you probably shouldn’t say no. Glee creator Ryan Murphy has hit out at Kings of Leon because they didn’t let the show use their hit “Use Somebody.” And this isn’t a new thing — the feud has been going on for six months. Ryan tells The Hollywood Reporter:
F*** you, Kings of Leon. They’re self-centred assholes, and they missed the big picture. They missed that a 7-year-old kid can see someone close to their age singing a Kings of Leon song, which will maybe make them want to join a glee club or pick up a musical instrument. It’s like, OK, hate on arts education. You can make fun of Glee all you want, but at its heart, what we really do is turn kids on to music.
Whoa! For their part, Kings of Leon say that the whole thing has gotten out of control and that when they had been asked about the music they hadn’t even seen the show yet. They also told THR: “This was never meant as a slap in the face to Glee or to music education or to fans of the show. We’re not sure where the anger is coming from. We just said no to a license for a TV show, which we do a lot.”
Gwyneth Paltrow wishes to leave her Brad Pitt-dating 20s in the past, the Emmys don't show a lot of love for True Blood and four other favourites and Robert Pattinson is just one Eclipse star snapped looking sexy.

The rumours are flying thick and fast this morning. This week’s Star magazine is reporting that Chris Martin and Kate Bosworth were seen kissing in public at U2’s concert on October 23. Normally we rank Star’s reporting up there with News of the World and alien abductions, but a lot of “sources” seem to be coming forward. Apparently several witness approached the tabloids with their stories and Star was the first cab off the rank. Now there is a second report of Kate and Chris hooking up in the San Francisco Bay area when Coldplay made a charity appearance. Gwyneth’s rep has already issued a statement saying that lawyers for Chris and Kate are currently considering legal action against Star. Kate was last romatically linked to Alexander Skarsgard (who has also been linked to his True Blood co-star Evan Rachel Wood) while Chris and Gwyneth have repeatedly denied reports that they are going through a rough patch. Stay tuned.
