Count us #hashtagblessed because after the chaos that was last week’s news cycle, this juicy nugget dropped: E! Online reported that Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin and Oscar-winner (and star of the Hunger Games franchise) Jennifer Lawrence are supposedly dating. Chris and Gwyneth Paltrow separated last year in their “conscious uncoupling” and Jennifer has been on-again, off-again with X-Men co-star Nicholas Hoult for years.
Let’s not lie, it’s a little weird that 37-year-old Chris is dating 24-year-old Jennifer…this does NOT pass the “half your age plus 7” rule…but Jennifer has to have SOME maturity to earn all of her accolades (Oscar noms/wins, multi-million-dollar franchises). Have you ever seen Jennifer in Lohan-esque pics? No! She’s one of the good ones. She is also the Anti-Gwyneth. She’s well liked and not known as an ice queen…
Also – Coldplay’s music has been much more reminiscent of “Parachutes” and “Rush of Blood to the Head” lately, which can only be a good thing. We were not a fan of when they were trying to be U2. We support this randomness.
Side notes: Jennifer was 9 years old when “Parachutes” came out. Chris is looking hot. This topic inspired a re-listen of “Rush of Blood to the Head” and my goodness it is GOOD. Wouldn’t it be great to be the other band members of Coldplay? You are rich as hell and can still walk to the grocery store without anyone knowing who you are.
Below is a snapshot of Chris leaving a Coldplay concert afterparty in June. Jennifer was also there and slinked out with a jacket over her head…
It looks like he’s thinking, “How am I gonna explain Apple and Moses’ newly adopted junk food diet to Gwynnie? Do they make vegan cheese puffs?!”
