Chris Martin Sticks It To Bully

By Tim Cashmere

Coldplay front man Chris Martin has had the chance to stick it to a high school bully who once told him he would amount to nothing.

He used the opportunity to introduce his past tormentor to his Hollywood actress wife, Gwenyth Paltrow. He claims the guy is "not doing much" after Chris asked what he's up to.

The man who's wife once explained she liked him because he was an intellectual who didn't smoke and rarely drank seemed to "get back" at the bully by being nice to him.

Martin, a student at a private boarding school in Sherborne in Dorset, England, has admitted to being "painfully shy" back in his younger days.

Maybe it was this childhood trauma that possessed him to name his kid "Apple".

People around the world who saw Chris Martin as a wussy private school kid who was bullied are probably chuckling at this story. Don't worry people, if Liam Gallagher ever gets back at a childhood bully, the story will be much more interesting.
