Rulers of the ice cream world Ben & Jerry and music icon Elton John have teamed up for charity. The ice cream makers are going to produce a custom flavor ice cream called ‘Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road’. It’s made of “an outrageous symphony of decadent chocolate ice cream, peanut butter cookie dough, butter brickle and white chocolate chunks.” Sounds yummy! Proceeds of the sales will be donated to the Elton John AIDS Foundation. In celebration of the partnership, Elton will perform in Vermont, the home state of the ice cream producers, next Monday. After that performance, Elton can officially claim that he’s played in all 50 of the United States.

Gwyneth Paltrow broke down in tears after husband Chris Martin sang ‘Fix You’ during a recent Coldplay concert.

The Oscar-winning actress became very emotional when the song - which Chris wrote for Gwyneth following her father’s death in 2002 - was played and couldn’t stop crying.

An onlooker at the New York show said: “Gwyneth was whispering and clapping throughout the show. But when ‘Fix You’ started, she broke down in tears.”

The lyrics in the ballad - which include “Tears stream down your face, when you lose something you cannot replace” - are about Gwyneth and the loss she felt.

After the show, mother-of-two Gwyneth was comforted by Chris, who tried to cheer her up.

The onlooker added: “He noticed she had been crying. He kissed her and made her laugh by pointing out all the things he had screwed up in the show.”

Chris has previously revealed his wife inspires his song writing, saying: “Everything in my life comes up. Gwyneth’s in there. My friends are in there. The way I see the world is in there. The lyrics come out and I just - I try not to get in their way.”

Avril Lavigne cancelled her concert in Barcelona on Sunday. The cause for the cancellation is because the singer and so-called songwriter was said to be in a state of indisposition. Isn’t that always the case? The Canadian singer cancels concerts as often as she changes underwear. It’s either because she was too wasted the night before or there are only about two people in her audience. If you ask me, she should just cancel her whole career all together to save the rest of us from being exposed to her. She’ll be doing the world a great favor if she does that.

Kelly Rowland says Madonna is allowed to be a diva.

The former Destiny’s Child singer insists the pop superstar, known for her outrageous demands, should be able to ask for whatever she wants because ’she’s freakin’ Madonna’.

Kelly said: ‘Madonna can have anything she wants. If she only wants red Skittles then get her red Skittles, she’s freakin’ Madonna! And if she wants a huge trailer, get her a huge trailer.’

Madonna reportedly enraged fellow artists and organisers at Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Maidstone, Kent, on Saturday, by insisting on having special Kabbalah water backstage and requesting a private helicopter to take her to the event.

The 49-year-old singer’s 70-strong entourage are also said to have demolished the free food and alcohol provided for the other artists performing, which included Kelly, The Kooks and Nelly.
