Zhang Ziyi stars in new Coldplay video 'Magic'
Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi is starring in a new Coldplay video for the song "Magic".
The black and white video plays out like an old movie.
The "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" star goes through a variety of costume changes in the video, as she plays a magician abused by her partner.
Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin plays two roles in the video: both the magicians assistant secretly in love with his master, as well as the magician's evil partner.
The video has been directed by Swedish filmmaker Jonas Akerlund, who has previously worked with stars such as Madonna, U2 and Moby.
"Magic" is the first single from Coldplay's new album, "Ghost Stories," which is due for release on May 19th in the UK.
Swedish band ABBA launches new book, reacts to death of Peaches Geldof
Swedish supergroup ABBA is marking 40-years since their international breakthrough hit "Waterloo" with a party at London's Tate Modern gallery.
The band has launched their official photo book at the party, which includes a series of never-before-seen photographs throughout the band's long career.
ABBA member Frida Lyngstad admits to being surprised by some of the photos in the book.
"The Max Strom book publishing company in Sweden put together a book that covers photos from very early on until the present time. They have actually been researching and found photos we had no clue existed. So then they put this beautiful book together and I really like it a lot. And it comes from us, we've been quite much involved in the whole process."
ABBA as a group has also taken a moment to reflect on the sudden passing of Peaches Geldof.
Frida Lyngstad: "It's very, very sad."
Bjorn: "We have children, our thoughts go out to him (Bob Geldof) and I think we can understand completely, so terrible."
Peaches Geldof, daughter of legendary music producer Bob Geldof, was found dead at her home in England on Monday.
She was just 25.
The young woman had already begun to carve out a career for herself as a television presenter and model, and was a staple-figure at many social events throughout London.
The cause of her death hasn't been revealed, though police are describing it as "unexplained and sudden."

Kevin Costner's "Draft Day" premieres in the US
Kevin Costner's new football drama "Draft Day" has premiered in Los Angeles.
The movie takes place over a single day of the NFL draft -- the longest day in the life of Costner's character: a pro football team's general manager.
It's a situation Costner says he can relate to.
"I've had a lot of days like this where they didn't start well, they didn't go well, and sometimes they didn't end well. But you know tomorrow is going to be another day. And if you can live through a bad day then you can also figure out how to try and enjoy a good one."
Co-star Jennifer Garner has also attended the premiere, and has talked about working along-side Costner.
"There was a moment from 'Tin Cup,' 'Bull Durham,' 'Field of Dreams,' even 'JFK' -- there was a moment where I was like, 'Oh that was so 'JFK!'"
"Draft Day" is set for release in U.S. theatres on Friday.
