Phil’s secret admirer
Happy Valentine’s Day! What would this day be without some celebrity crushes?
Gwyneth Paltrow, who is married to Coldplay’s Chris Martin, revealed on Los Angeles radio station 103.1 FM that if she ever got a “free pass” to bed another man, “it would be with someone like Phil Selway, my musical hero.”
She then added: “I admire him so much.” Paltrow also mentioned that she loves Madonna’s boobs but we’ll leave that alone.

So, as we expected, the story about Radiohead performing in Las Vegas on March 1 is untrue. W.A.S.T.E. made a statement this morning concerning the “bogus” show.
It has come to w.a.s.t.e’s attention that tickets for a bogus show on the 1st March 2006 in Las Vegas have been sold over the weekend by Ticketmaster.
There is no such show and we are currently investigating why this has happened. We would recommend that those who have purchased these tickets go back to the seller to organise refunds.
Unfortunately, there have been fans that bought tickets after Ticketmaster telling them that Radiohead were indeed playing Bally’s on March 1. The Bally’s box office had no clue about the show and directed all questions to TM. We are now hearing from some fans that Ticketmaster is REFUSING refunds to this bogus show. Though the concert was advertised to be a Radiohead show on Ticketmaster’s website, it is really for the Jubilee dinner show which, according to TM, is now sold out (probably because everyone was thinking it was Radiohead) and they refuse to do refunds on sold out shows.
We seriously hope that we are misinformed and that Ticketmaster will do the right thing and refund tickets.
UPDATE: This was sent to us by Rooch20: “I just spoke to Ticketmaster and they are investigating this. Everyone will get their money back. They just need to get to the bottom of this and then will contact the people who bought tickets….like me!”

Thom sampled by Massive Attack
Thom’s voice singing “Where do we go from here” from “The Bends” has been sampled by Massive Attack on their new song “False Flags” which will be appearing on their new album Collected.
The sample can be heard near the end of the song, though it’s not very noticeable. To hear the song, visit here. You can also see the video here.
You may remember that Massive Attack had at one time planned to remix the whole OK Computer album but due to time issues, they had to abandoned the project.
Collected will be released on March 27, 2006.
One of our faithful readers alerted us to a listing on Ticketmaster.com that has Radiohead performing on March 1, 2006 at Bally’s. We at Green Plastic would love for this to be true, though our gut and common sense is telling us that it is a mistake. The listing mentions something about this being part of the Jubilee series which apparently is a Las Vegas topless showgirls dinner show. We just can’t see Radiohead doing something like this.

UPDATE: Ticketmaster has changed the above link to the Jubilee concert show. Read here for more info…
It has been announced that both Thom and Jonny will be performing at a charity event in London this May. The concert, which will benefit Friends of the Earth’s The Big Ask, is set to happen at KOKO on May 1, 2006. Thom has been the spokesman for The Big Ask since it launched last year and has been calling for people across the UK to back the campaign to make the government responsible for reducing the UK impact on global warming.
