Coldplay will release a new album in 2010, according to Chris Martin.

The band are currently at work in their own studio, thought to be a converted church, in London. Speaking in a video interview with Globo.com – which you can watch by clicking below – Martin said he wants to release the album “hopefully this Christmas”. He added that the band are being extra security-conscious to make sure their new material doesn’t leak online.

“There’s only two people in the whole building who know how to open all the recording files,” Martin explained. “Even we [Coldplay] don’t know how to do it. We couldn’t even steal our own music at the moment. You would have to be a computer genius and a great burglar to get into the building, and download it, and mix it.”

The band also denied that the album would be their last for label EMI. “I think we have about 500 more,” Martin initially joked, before adding: “No, seriously, we signed for a lot.”

The album will be Coldplay’s first since 2008′s ‘Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends’

The fashions were extra funky at Monday’s Elle Style Awards in London at the Grand Connaught Rooms. Fashionistas like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Alexa Chung and “Twilight” star Kristen Stewart were there to receive awards for their unique sense of style, according Elle UK.

Stewart, who wore a geometric gray minidress to the event, was awarded Woman of the Year for her hip, rocker aesthetic. Mary-Kate Olsen, who wore Lanvin to the event, and sister Ashley, who wore Christian Lacroix, earned the magazine’s Icons of the Year prize for their personal sense of style and their fashion line, the Row.

Carey Mulligan, who won the BAFTA award for Best Leading Actress the night before, wore a blazer and skirt from the Row as she received the Style Award for Best Actress. Claire Danes, in a demure black Burberry dress, was on hand to present designer Christopher Bailey with the International Designer of the Year prize. Model and TV personality Alexa Chung looked hipster cool in her blue Chanel dress with matching Chanel bag as she took home the Editor’s Choice award.

Although they didn’t win any awards, other celebrities in attendance included pop star Leona Lewis, in a fashion staple: a little, black dress with a peep-hole neckline, puff sleeves and a lady-like hat. And 30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto decided to go all punk rock with a Mohawk, white army boots and acid-wash slim-fitting jeans.

I love me some Jeff Bridges!

Read my “Crazy Heart” review here!

Somewhere between The Last Picture Show and the Tron sequel, Jeff Bridges aged into a national treasure—the kind of guy whose nonchalant approach to fame is almost as impressive as his layered, lived-in performances.

I was busting up laughing last night as I watched ABC’s 2 hour The Bachelor: The Women Tell All special. I don’t know whether Roslyn was telling the truth or not, but you gotta give the woman props for defending herself! She was awesome! She fought Chris Harrison on almost every single point! I’m not sure if I believe her, but I definitely think she held her own last night! I think she had very good points. How did ABC miss filming the “biggest scandal in The Bachelor history”? I just don’t buy it!

More from US Weekly:

On the special, Harrison, 38, grilled Papa, a 29-year-old model/make-up artist who was kicked off the ABC reality show after several cast members claimed she had an “inappropriate” relationship with producer Ryan Callahan.

Three different women claimed they each had proof: One said she saw Papa and Callahan making out; another said she saw her touch his thigh one time and a third said she heard Papa remark that she wanted Callahan to tuck her in bed.

Despite the three eye witness accounts, Papa swore on her child’s life that nothing sexual happened between her and the producer. Harrison told her how many were sad that Callahan was fired because people on the show considered him a friend. Papa then snapped, “That’s news to him, especially when you were hitting on his wife in New Zealand. He thought that was crazy.”

“I won’t dignify that with a response,” Harrison cooly replied before telling Papa, “I hope you will become a better person through this.”

Harrison tells Entertainment Weekly that the reason he didn’t immediately respond to Papa’s accusation was because “that’s exactly what she would have wanted from me. It was a desperate attempt by a very desperate woman to create a diversion and deflect the spotlight from herself….”

Harrison – a married father of two – added that it was tacky of Papa (a single mother) to bring his innocent family into the matter.

“…Beyond the fact that it’s just flat out not true, that comment was well beyond the line of decency and speaks volumes to the kind of person Rozlyn is,” he said. “My wife, who I’ve been with since I was 18 and have been married to for over 16 years, was in the audience that night and got as big a laugh out of Rozlyn’s comment as I did.”

And call me crazy, but why do I have the feeling that Jake picks neither girl? For the first time that I can remember on the Women Tell All special – the Bachelor didn’t gush about how in love he is – and how he knows he made the right pick. What has happened in the past – is Chris Harrison asks the Bachelor about how he feels about his decision, and usually the Bachelor goes on and on about how in love he is – how he can’t wait to go public with his fiance, blah blah blah. The ONLY thing Jake said was “I’m happy with the choice I made”. Doesn’t sound promising!

What do you think happens on the finale?

Missing “Growing Pains” star Andrew Koenig emptied out his apartment in Venice, CA because he wanted to start over in Vancouver … this according to a long-time friend.

Lance Miccio tells TMZ he went to Koenig’s apartment last night, and found it cleaned out.

Miccio says Koenig told him two weeks ago he planned to move back to Vancouver to “start over,” because he considered Vancouver his “place for solace.”

Koenig — son of “Star Trek” star Walter Koenig — was last seen February 14 in Vancouver. Cops told us there have been reported sightings of Koenig since he went missing, and that they are still looking “for a living person.”
