'POV: Trying to get the best photo of Coldplay but you end up getting this viral affair as well,' the caption read, with the pair seen swinging to the music together in the first row of the mezzanine.

Scott Cam announces brutal new rule for this season's Block contestants
Don't miss out on the headlines from Reality. Followed categories will be added to My News. Scott Cam has implemented a strict new rule change for this year's season of The Block – and it might make for a slightly less comfortable experience for contestants. Usually, contestants would 'rough it' for the first few days of a season, living out of the tent as they built the first room of the house, typically a bedroom. It meant that from the end of week one, they could pack up the tent and have a roof over their heads – and have the rest of the house to live in and use as it was built, week by week. Scott Cam delivers the news. But Cam told contestants this year that he was implementing a strict new rule: 'No overnighters.' The five teams would not be able to spend the night inside their houses at all during the season. Instead, they've been given luxury caravans to call home for the entire season. During Sunday's premiere, all seemed in good spirits at the news they'd be sleeping in them for the next three months, during the testing conditions of a rural Victorian winter (with all that caravan living entails – including emptying of toilet waste). The caravans are lush – but it's a bit of a downgrade from previous seasons, living in the giant house you're renovating. This year's contestants are a diverse bunch, among them two married Northern Territory police officers, a lesbian couple (who, in a slightly awkward first meeting, are initially mistaken for twins by their fellow contestants) a gay and straight best mate, and a champion pole dancer. There is another big change expected this season: The Block's mega-buyer, billionaire Adrian Portelli, should be nowhere to be seen come auction day. In an extravagant move, Portelli bought all five Block houses at last season's auctions – but later struggled to offload them. He insisted the mega-buyout was to be his Block swan song and, as Cam confessed in a recent interview, the feeling was mutual. 'To be honest we said to Adrian 'We'd love you not to come next year, if that's all right,'' Cam revealed on Nova 96.9's Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie last week. Couple (not twins sisters, as some contestants assumed) Han and Cam. Block megabuyer Adrian Portelli is expected to be absent come auction day. Picture: NewsWire/ David Crosling '[Portelli] said, 'Yeah, okay, he won't come', but he may come. We don't know, but we do want to give mums and dads the opportunity to have a crack at a block house … but if Adrian comes and wants to buy the lot of them, well, that rules them out.' Cam said he hoped to see 'families have a bit of a crack this year,' after recent years have seen the show's finales turn into bidding wars between Portelli and fellow mega-rich investor Danny Wallis. But it seems Portelli's not taking the soft-ban lying down: He's switched allegiances to The Block's competitor show on Seven, My Reno Rules. Portelli's rewards club company LMCT+ will be the major sponsor of the show's new season, and he's even donated two homes that will be flipped by contestants during the show.

'Genius move': Everyone is raving about new Astronomer ad after Coldplay kiss cam scandal
Gwyneth Paltrow is starring in a new ad for Astronomer. Almost a fortnight after the tech company's married CEO, Andy Byron, was caught on a Coldplay concert kiss cam with his arms around his HR executive Kristin Cabot, Paltrow has been hired as a "temporary" spokesperson for Astronomer. The 52-year-old, who was married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin from 2003 until 2016, appeared in a short video on Astronomer's social media speaking about the company's strengths. "I've been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer. Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common one," she says in the ad. The first question, "OMG! What the actual f***?", then appeared on the screen in writing. However, she dodged the question and plugged the company's products: "We've been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation." The next question to Astronomer was, "How is your social media team holding ..." However, Paltrow moved on before the whole question could be asked. "We will now be returning to what we do best, which is delivering game-changing results for our customers. Thank you for your interest in Astronomer," she said. The video was captioned: "Thank you for your interest in Astronomer." Social media users chimed in after the video was released, with tech journalist Neville Lahiru saying: "Getting Chris Martin's ex-wife was a genius move lol." PR and communications consultant Ronke Lawal lauded the move as an "engaging way to handle a PR crisis" and "socially relevant without being too corny and cringe." Another user, Matt Brian, commented: "Marketing genius. Owning the Coldplay kiss cam video *and* hiring Chris Martin's ex-wife? Splendid." At Coldplay's 15 July concert near Boston, a cameraman panned across the crowd and showed Byron and Cabot in an embrace. In a video shared to TikTok, as the couple frantically tried to dodge the camera, frontman Martin could be heard saying: "Oh, look at these two. All right, c'mon, you're okay. "Oh, what? Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy." Both Byron and Cabot have since resigned from the company.

Inside Jodhi Meares' new $4.1m Byron Bay hinterland home
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. Jodhi Meares has opened up about the real reason she left Sydney for Byron Bay, and the private life she has created for herself in the hinterland. In a new interview with Stellar, the fashion mogul and ex-wife of James Packer admits she was never comfortable in the spotlight and is 'definitely a behind the scenes person'. 'I'm a true introvert. I like to be able to watch people. I find people really interesting. 'Being in the public eye wrecked that a little bit,' Meares told Stellar. Late last year, Meares purchased a four-bedroom, Modernist-inspired home – which features an avocado, citrus, banana and papaw orchard, at Brooklet. The property is located inland between Ballina and Byron Bay in the NSW Northern Rivers region – and was purchased for a reported $4.1 million. Jodhi Meares is on the cover of today's Stellar. She has opened up about her new life in Byron Bay. Picture: Simon Upton for Stellar Listen to a new episode of the Stellar podcast Something To Talk About below: Speaking to Stellar, The Upside designer explains why she is at home among the papaya trees, a dog named Soda Pop, and her five cows. 'I don't get bored and I don't get lonely. I suffer from other things, but I don't suffer from those things,' Meares said. 'Sometimes I have to ask myself, 'How many days has it been? I need to just go somewhere and speak to another human …'' The former Australia's Next Top Model host and Tigerlily founder also made a surprising confession about her time as a model, saying she 'never really loved having my photos taken'. 'It's been a means to an end. But I felt very lucky to be able to do it because I wasn't sure what I was going to do when I was young. 'And school and I didn't get along that well.' 'I don't get bored …' Jodhi Meares on her new life. Picture: Don Arnold/WireImage In the Stellar cover story, Meares also reflected on interviewing Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson – who stars in a new campaign for Meares' activewear brand, The Upside – for Stellar earlier this year. 'She's such a phenomenal woman. Elle doesn't have to do these things. I thought it was just very special,' Meares said. 'It was very beautiful, really touching that she was able to do that.'
