"If you like it, then f--k what everyone else says," the father of Moses and Apple says

Body

Coldplay's Chris Martin doesn't see anything wrong with Nicole Kidman naming her daughter Sunday or Jessica Alba calling her girl Honor.

The 31-year-old rocker — who named his son Moses and daughter Apple — tells the new issue of Blender: "People make a big fuss over names. Names of babies, names of albums, names of bands.

"There’s nothing weird about calling your baby Chewbacca if that’s what you want to call your baby," he goes on. "It’s no stranger than Sarah."

He says, "a name is just a noise, and if you like it, then f--k what everyone else says."

Martin and wife Gwyneth Paltrow may need to think of more names soon.

Asked about getting pregnant again, the actress, 35, told July's Harper's Bazaar, "I may force myself to do it one more time because the result is so worth it.

"My mother loved each [pregnancy] to bits; she felt alive and beautiful. I wanted to throw up all the time."

She said she and Martin (who recently admitted he had a tough time with girls before he met Paltrow) are even open to adopting.

"I do feel we're so fortunate, and we kind of owe it to humanity," Paltrow told the magazine. "We have a lot of love to give and a lot of resources."

In his new book, Christopher Ciccone says she pulled Paltrow onto a table and sucked face

Body

Apparently, Britney Spears isn't the only A-lister Madonna has smooched.

In his upcoming unauthorized autobiography Life With My Sister Madonna, her brother Christopher Ciccone claims the singer, 49, planted a steamy kiss on BFF Gwyneth Paltrow.

According to an excerpt in British tabloid The Sun, Ciccone writes that Madonna was at a New Year's Eve bash for designer Donatella Versace.

She was dancing on a table at 4 a.m. when she allegedly grabbed Paltrow, 35, pulled her face to hers and kissed her.

Partygoers, Ciccone says, were shocked.

(The two remain friends: Paltrow was also seen leaving Madonna's NYC apartment Monday.)

See what a body language expert had to say about other summer smooches.

The same sex kiss is among the bombshells Ciccone claims to reveal in the book.

He also writes that Madonna's rocky marriage to Guy Ritchie has survived because of Rabbi Yehuda Berg who has served as a mediator.

The book - due out July 15 - comes out as Us Weekly reports about Madonna's crumbling marriage to Guy Ritchie and secret relationship with Yankees player Alex Rodriguez.

On Monday, Rodriguez's wife Cynthia filed for divorce, citing the ball player's relationship with Madonna as one of the many factors that led to their split.

Chris Martin: I Feared I'd Be the Guy "No One Wants to Have Sex With"

The Coldplay singer says Gwyneth Paltrow is his only "serious relationship"

Body

Coldplay singer Chris Martin admits he was a late bloomer.

He tells the new issue of Rolling Stone (on newsstands now), "I had a tricky time with girls until I was, like, 21.

"I got trapped in the friendship tip many, many times," adds Martin, whose band's new disc Viva La Vida drops June 17.

"It was like, 'I need to be a rock star because this is no good: Being the kind of guy that everybody likes but no one wants to have sex with,'" Martin recalls. "I don't want to be the person that makes everybody laugh before they go off and bang. I want to be the guy that everybody bangs."

Still, he admits he hasn't had a lot of hot-and-heavy romances in his life.

He says Gwyneth Paltrow is his only "serious relationship.

"Is that weird? I don't think it's that weird," the singer says. "It wouldn't be weird 200 years ago... Think of Romeo and Juliet."

He says that he enjoys the challenge of being married to the Oscar-winner, with whom he has two children: Apple, 4, and Moses, 2.

"I always felt it would be great to be with a very powerful woman because it would keep you in your place," he says. "Being married to someone very successful and very powerful basically keeps you hungry to improve."

Addressing her relationship with ex Brad Pitt, he adds: "You've got to be hungry. If your wife went out with Brad Pitt, you'd want to prove yourself, you know what I mean?"

Can you believe these couples hooked up?

Gwyneth Paltrow: "I May Force Myself" to Get Pregnant Again

"The result is so worth it," the Iron Man star says

Body

Like Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't mind being pregnant.

"I may force myself to do it one more time because the result is so worth it," she reveals in July's Harper's Bazaar. "And also my [late] dad said to me that his only regret in life was that he had only two children and he didn't have more."

She says she is also "open" to adopting.

"I do feel we’re so fortunate, and we kind of owe it to humanity," says the 35-year-old actress, who works out three hours a day. "We have a lot of love to give and a lot of resources.”

The Iron Man star also dished on:

Dealing with morning sickness:
“My mother loved each [pregnancy] to bits; she felt alive and beautiful. I wanted to throw up all the time.”

Getting her post-baby bod back:
“I don’t want to look like a mother who doesn’t care. For myself, for my work, and for my relationship, I want to look good.”

Cutting her Rapunzel-like hair this spring:
“I was very, very attached to my hair. I grew it when I was pregnant. I still had hair from when my father was alive. I made it like a talisman. And then I was ready to let go of it, and so I chopped it off and ... aaah!"

Keeping her marriage to Coldplay's Chris Martin sexy with two kids:
“I think you have to make an effort to compartmentalize a little bit. When your children are asleep, you have to open another world ... children and being a parent can really drain that side of you. I would like to say ‘Go away for the weekend.’ But, of course, I’ve done that like one time on my birthday. But it’s important to carve out some time; otherwise, you don’t have an inner life. You just give all day, and then you pass out at night.”

Supporting Barack Obama:
“I don’t feel there’s any lip service with [Obama]. I don’t feel like he’s one of those jaded politicos who say one thing and are talking out of both sides of their mouth. I also feel we’ve done such damage to our reputation – and as someone who lives outside America for half the year, I overhear things that I wish I didn’t overhear. A lot of people in the West think that we’re not very sensitive to the rest of the world, and I think that having a president called Barack Hussein Obama in 2008 says that we are part of the world, and we don’t want to make unilateral decisions about the fate of all of us. I just pray to God that he wins.”

Being BFFs with Madonna:
“She’s so physically beautiful and fit, it’s just crazy. I think part of the reason she looks so good is that she’s always striving for more knowledge. She’s a very interested woman.”

Feeling vulnerable about returning to movie-making after a four-year hiatus:
“In this business, they don’t look back, and they’re particularly harsh to women. I’m not 25; I’m 35. I’m not someone to discover; I’m someone who people know. I mean, it’s all ego, but you start to feel like, 'Oh, no, I worked so hard to get somewhere, and what if I can’t get back there again?' But, all the while knowing that, I would never have traded one second or done anything differently.”
