Coldplay head for first ever No1

COLDPLAY could land their first No1 single this weekend.

Viva La Vida is a few hundred copies ahead of MINT ROYALE’s Singin’ In
The Rain in the midweek chart, thanks to downloads boosted by its use on an
iTunes advert.
CHRIS MARTIN’s men were thwarted in 2005 by CRAZY FROG,
who kept Speed Of Sound at No2.

Violet Hill could earn them a Top Ten singles double on Sunday.

It is up from 12 to 10. Their No1 album Viva La Vida is outselling Rockferry,
by nearest rival DUFFY, by six to one.

Lindsay Lohan - Lohan Impresses Movie Bosses

LINDSAY LOHAN has impressed the producers of new movie LABOR PAINS with her work ethic - despite earning a reputation as a tardy star on the set of her previous movie GEORGIA RULE.

Lohan infuriated studio chief James G. Robinson with her lateness and partying while shooting the 2007 drama, eventually causing him to write a letter to the star in July 2006 attacking her unprofessionalism.

But according to a producer on upcoming comedy Labor Pains - in which Lohan plays a publishing assistant who pretends to be pregnant in a bid to keep her job - the 21-year-old has been a consummate professional.

Producer Rich Schwarts tells industry publication Variety, "I didn't know Lindsay before this, but we looked each other in the eye three months ago, and she has done everything I could have asked."

Shooting on the movie, which also stars Chris Parnell and Cheryl Hines, begins on 9 June (08) in Burbank, California.
