Kooks' Luke Pritchard: 'Coldplay Are The Best band In The World'

Luke Pritchard, frontman of The Kooks, has called Coldplay the “best band in the world” and compared them to David Bowie.



The singer said he couldn't understand how the band had received negative press despite their latest album, 'Viva La Vida', topping the charts in the UK and America.



“I can’t believe that they’re getting a hard time,” he said. “It’s weird. How can people undermine them? To me Cold­play are other-worldly.



“I love the whole thing they’ve got going on on this album with the Les Misérables theme.”



As previously reported on Gigwise, Coldplay has so far sold over 500,000 copies of their new album in the UK alone.



In an interview with the Daily Star, Pritchard said that people like to “diss” the band because “it's popular”.



“I’ve often wondered what it would have been like to see David Bowie in his Space Oddity days and even though it’s not as shocking, Coldplay have got a similar thing going on,” he added.



What do you think about Pritchard's comments? Is he right? Let Gigwise readers know your opinion by posting a comment below.

Linda: Hulk Should Be Nick's Cellmate!

Linda Hogan wants Hulk to spend time with Nick -- behind bars.
Click to read the documents!
Linda is asking a judge to cite the Hulkster with contempt of court, because he allegedly didn't ante up money for a $4.2 million Vegas condo, as required by the judge. Yes, the judge ordered Hulk to pay for a party pad. We love the law.

The condo was in escrow when the divorce was filed and the court order required both Hulk and Linda to close the deal and then put the asset in the community pot. Linda has put her share in but Hulk hasn't.

And here's the kicker. In the legal papers, Linda is asking the judge to throw Hulk's ass in the Pinellas County Jail, where Hulk and Nick can sure scheme to hatch the post-pokey real-ality show. Dis and gusting.

Lindsay Lohan - Top Mom Lohan On Hunt For Trash Talk

LINDSAY LOHAN's mother DINA has revealed one of her secrets to becoming a 'Top Mom' - she is obsessed with searching for false stories of her famous family online.

Earlier this month (May08), Dina was named one of the mothers of the year in her native Long Island, New York - and the 45-year-old admits she's constantly on the look-out for "idiots who are talking trash".

Just this year (08), Dina announced the production of her upcoming U.S. TV reality show Living Lohan, which will follow the manager-mum as she navigates the careers of her two younger children, Ali, 14, and Cody, 11.

In the premiere episode - titled Mommy Will Fix It - set to air in the U.S. this weekend (24May08), Lohan Sr. fumes to one blogger: "You need to get (the article) down immediately, because I'm in touch with my attorney."

She adds, "I don't live my life every day going, 'Oh, they're talking about us.' I'm over it. Yes, it still does hurt, but people are just idiots."

The cameras also follow the mother-of-three as she hits back at stories surrounding daughter Lindsay's trouble-filled past 12 months, which have seen her in and out of rehab and arrested twice for driving under the influence.

Spotting an alleged sex tape video of her eldest daughter online, Dina is shown staring at the screen, attempting to judge its authenticity before declaring: "It's a big game of chess, and it's our move. Bring it on now. Let's go."
