GWYNNIE’S HUBBY: I HATE CAPITALISM!

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 19, 2005 11:09 AM

When last Gwynnie Paltrow’s husband, Brit musician Chris Martin of the band Coldplay, put foot in mouth, he was proclaiming apocalypse:

“We are all going to die when George Bush gets his way.”

The planet survived, so Martin has found a new enemy to pass the time: his own record label, EMI. In New York to promote his band’s overdue record, Martin said:

“I don’t really care about EMI. I’m not really concerned about that. I think shareholders are the great evil of this modern world.”

…Martin told reporters at Manhattan’s Beacon Theatre that the band was uncomfortable that they sell so many albums they can affect a major corporation’s stock price.

“It’s very strange for us that we spent 18 months in the studio just trying to make songs that make us feel a certain way and then suddenly become part of this corporate machine,” Martin said backstage.

He criticised what he called “the slavery that we are all under to shareholders.”

Free Chris Martin! Boycott Coldplay!

Gotta love Hollyweird.

Update: Gwynnie and Mr. Gwynnie win Ankle Biting Pundits’ Buffoons of the Week award.
