The “Clocks” star will make a cameo appearance as himself on the long-running animated series after the dimwitted Homer Simpson wins a million dollars in the lottery and hires Chris to perform a private concert.

The 21st season of The Simpsons premieres on FOX this fall, and will also feature guest appearances by Sarah Silverman and Oscar-nominated actress Anne Hathaway.

Coldplay will give away copies of their live album, LeftRightLeftRightLeft, at all the shows on their North American tour beginning May 15.

The album — recorded during the band’s live European tour — will also be available via the group’s website.

Here’s what the band’s official website says:

Good Morning. We’re pleased to announce that Coldplay will be giving away a live CD, LeftRightLeftRightLeft, at every remaining live show in 2009 (apart from festival shows). Starting with the band’s first North American tour date, at West Palm Beach in Florida on May 15th, every fan attending a show will be given a free copy of the nine-track CD, which won’t be available elsewhere. Also on May 15th, LeftRightLeftRightLeft will be made available as a free download right here at Coldplay.com, for all fans (and for the same time period).

According to the band, the giveaway is meant to offer gratitude to the fans who have supported them in these tough economic times.

“Playing live is what we love. This album is a thank you to our fans – the people who give us a reason to do it and make it happen.”

Coldplay and rap mogul Jay-Z have unveiled the official music video premiere for their new collabo, “Lost.”

Miley Cyrus’ dream of getting close to Mr. Gwenyth Paltrow could soon come true when the teen sensation joins rockers Coldplay’s Viva La Vida Tour later this year.

The Hannah Montana star recently revealed her love for the band’s frontman Chris Martin, exclaiming. “My ideal man is a 16-year-old Chris Martin. But my mom says I have terrible taste.”

Chris has reportedly lined Miley up to perform a few show with the band as they trek the globe on the their current world tour. “I like her. She seems to have a sweet character. Anyone we like or respect, no matter how different they may be, we would play with.”

Finally! Coldplay has released the official music video for their smash hit “Viva La Vida.”

Viva La Vida stars Coldplay lit up the stage on The Tonight Show Summer Concert Series on Thursday-here’s the video.
