At age 71, Steve Martin is a father to a 4-year-old -- and he thinks "it's fantastic." "...If I'd had a child earlier, I would have been a lousy father, because I would have misplaced my attention on my career," the actor/comedian told AARP The Magazine for their June/July issue. Martin welcomed a baby girl for the first time at age 67 in 2013 with his wife, 45-year-old Anne Stringfield. These days, he's determined not to make the same mistakes of his own father. "I am very forthcoming with her, and it's great," he said.

Chris Martin and Coldplay touched the lives of millions over the weekend with their overdue concert in India. Unwittingly, one notable person who was impacted by the music play is one Chris Martin, who has taken to explaining he's "not in Coldplay." In the aftermath of the event, plenty of Indians have confused English comedian Chris Martin for the Coldplay lead singer, and are congratulating him for the play over the weekend instead. Though Martin isn't necessarily upset with all the new followers (more than 1,000) from India he has gained over the past three days, he says he could live without much of the feedback meant for the other Chris. It's not clear why people are mistaking the comedian Chris for the singer Chris, but it could be because he is the only Chris Martin to have a verified account on Twitter.

Steve Martin received backlash for a tribute he paid to Carrie Fisher on Twitter. On Tuesday, the comic wrote in a since-deleted tweet, "When I was a young man, Carrie Fisher was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. She turned out to be witty and bright as well." Media outlets and fans immediately turned on the comedian saying Martin's tweet had a sexist undertone. Seriously @SteveMartinToGo quit being such a jerk for thinking Carrie Fisher was beautiful and saying so on the occasion of her death... Steve Martin's tweet about Carrie Fisher is extremely bad https://t.co/if7QV6Ow3b
