Sex, drugs, rock and roll and… knitting? Coldplay front man Chris Martin recently spoke about the band’s hobby of knitting together for one very odd image in my head. He says “Making clothes together in our studio makes us feel complete. We probably sound like a group of grannies in a knitting circle but it’s the truth and it gives us some control over our visual identity. When you are a big band and everyone is taking shots at you, the more things you can do together the better.” Whatever floats your boat. I don’t think knitting is a way of showing anyone just how strong and manly you are so they stop picking on you.

For someone with the abbreviation of the word little in front of his name, Lil Wayne has been getting into some big trouble recently. The rapper was recently ordered by a Miami judge to pay New Orleans jeweller Jack Sutton the money he was due. Lil Wayne has now recently missed a scheduled court appearance related to his drug charges. Even though he didn’t show up, the judge said that he was not excused from appearing. Lil Wayne’s reps however claim that he only missed the hearing due to an unnamed medical condition. Sure. The rapper is due back in court this October. Surely his medical condition would have let up by then.
