Justin Timberlake is a huge fan of the British band - fronted by Chris Martin - and is very interested in working with them.

Justin, 26, even compared the 'Speed of Sound' rockers to legendary rock band The Beatles.

He said: "I'd love to do a duet with Coldplay - especially Chris Martin. To me they are like a modern-day Beatles."

Justin and Chris could be introduced to one another by mutual friend Nelly Furtado.

Justin recently teamed up with the Canadian singer on producer Timbaland's recent hit single 'Give It To Me', while Chris duetted with Nelly on a version of her track 'All Good Things', which he also co-wrote with her.

Nelly Furtado has further fueled a war of words between her and Fergie after hitting back at comments The Black Eyed Peas star made about her on radio last week.

Fergie told Los Angeles DJ Ryan Seacrest that she and Furtado had fallen out over a lyrics mix up when she appeared on his morning show last week.

Furtado appeared on the same show this morning and admitted she was puzzled about why her pop rival was still talking about the spat.

She told the host, "We spoke about it face to face... We kinda cleared it up about a month ago... I thought it was water under the bridge."

"I threw the first punch, technically, thinking she had thrown the first punch. She told me she did not and then I said, 'You know what, I'm sorry...' I'm sure we'll be friends again in the future."

"I'm not a bully, I'm just an artist and when you're an artist you have a certain artistic license and when you feel things intuitively and you feel like you've been insulted or hurt you just react."
