`HANDSOME' BERRYMAN CREDITED FOR COLDPLAY SUCCESS - BY THE BAND.

COLDPLAY star CHRIS MARTIN is convinced "handsome" bandmate GUY BERRYMAN is solely responsible for the band's success - because girls and gay fans love him. Martin admits that while he and his other bandmates desperately try to "stay thin" and look good, the bass player oozes charm and cool. He tells Blender magazine, "My entire life is spent trying to push him forward at photo shoots. He's our packaging... He's a handsome bastard. "None of us pretend that if he wasn't in the band we'd be as popular. He's responsible for all our calendar sales."
