Rihanna Takes the Lead in Coldplay’s ‘Princess of China’

Coldplay’s Chris Martin and Rihanna playing warring lovers in Coldplay’s new video for the ‘Princess of China’. The two stars go head to head in more ways than one in the music video for Coldplay’s single for ‘Princess of China’.  Chris Martin and Rihanna show off some martial arts skills as they do battle in a CGI created Chinese Palace.  Singer Chris Martin and pop sensation, Rihanna fly through their air at one point, before sword fighting.  The computer generated action pays homage to martial arts films like ‘Hero’ and ‘House Of The Flying Daggers’.  In an intimate moment the pair, who play confused lovers in a complicated story, kneel together on the ground, leaning on each others heads.  Rihanna has her hair combed back and appears in a flowing white-robe.  Chris sports ninja gear and a katana for most of the video, however Rihanna gets to wear several changes of clothing. In several scenes Rihanna moves from being a Hindu goddess to a Chinese princess to the Indian goddess Kali.  Interestingly, even though the single is a Coldplay hit from their latest CD, none of the other band members appear in the video.
