Liam Gallagher makes cheeky reference to THAT Coldplay kiss cam moment at final gig
A TikTok post went viral this week after it appeared to show a couple embracing at the Coldplay gig in Boston on the big screen - who looked panicked and ducked down out of sight when they realised they were on camera.
The pair were later identified in US media as Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, the chief executive and chief people officer at US tech firm Astronomer.

Mr Byron has since resigned, as the story went global, even reaching the ears of the Gallagher brothers, as Liam made reference to the viral moment before launching into one of Oasis' most romantic songs at their final gig.
Before launching into Slide Away, Liam said: "This one's for all you love birds...don't worry we don't have a camera, it's not a Coldplay moment.
"It's none of our business who you're with - doesn't matter who you're tingling with, mingling with and ******* with."
It came as the band closed out a historic five-date string of gigs at the north Manchester park, attended by up to 80,000 fans per night.
The M.E.N.'s Dianne Bourne wrote that there was a 'real frisson in the air' with the crowd in the mood for 'one final epic party'.
And that frisson seems to have reached Gallagher Hill, a knoll in Heaton Park outside of the concert area, where thousands of ticketless fans had gathered to catch a glimpse of the stage - and listen to the music floating across the park.
Previously passing without incident, the peace was broken last night when a few fans began 'scrapping' and throwing bottles at each other - though police said it was an 'isolated' incident and quickly resolved.
The band themselves paid tribute to Gallagher Hill, turning the cameras on the fans gathered there, to huge cheers from the crowd - and handing out free t-shirts to commemorate the phenomenon.
An emotional Noel summed the gigs up in the encore, saying: 'For the last ten days the eyes of the world have been on this city of Manchester and I just want to say to all Mancunians, you've done yourself f***ing proud.
'We've got people coming in from all over the world… what I can say by staying in the city is you've still f****ing got it Manchester.'
Liam earlier made his feelings clear, saying: "It's been amazing being here the last f***ing ten days, you've actually blown whatever brain cells I had left. They're well and truly gone.'

Gwyneth Paltrow hired as Astronomer's "very temporary" spokesperson after Coldplay KissCam scandal
Astronomer — the company whose CEO resigned after being caught on a KissCam at a Coldplay rock concert embracing a woman who was not his wife — is trying to move on from the drama with someone who knows the band pretty well. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who was married to Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin for 13 years, announced Friday on X that she was hired by Astronomer as a "very temporary" spokesperson. Astronomer, a tech company based in New York, found itself in an uncomfortable spotlight when two of its executives were caught on camera in an intimate embrace at a Coldplay concert — a moment that was then flashed on a giant screen in the stadium. CEO Andy Byron and human resource executive Kristin Cabot were caught by surprise when Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd during a concert earlier this month. "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy," Martin joked when the couple appeared on screen and quickly tried to hide their faces. In a short video, the "Shakespeare in Love" and "Ironman" star said she had been hired as a "very temporary" spokesperson for Astronomer. "Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days and they wanted me to answer the most common ones," Paltrow said, smiling and deftly avoiding mention of the KissCam fuss. "We've been thrilled that so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation," she said. "We will now be returning to what we do best — delivering game-changing results for our customers." Byron resigned last week after the company said it had launched a formal investigation after the video of him went viral online. Cabot has also resigned from the company, an Astronomer spokesperson confirmed to CBS News on Thursday. When footage from the KissCam first spread online, it wasn't immediately clear who the couple was. Soon after, the company identified the pair. The video clip resulted in a steady stream of memes, parody videos and screenshots of the pair's shocked faces filling social media feeds. Online streams of Coldplay's songs jumped 20% in the days after the video went viral, according to Luminate, an industry data and analytics company.

Matty Healy's Mom Has Nothing Against Taylor Swift, But Is ‘Glad' She's Not Her Mother-In-Law
Matty Healy's mom, the English actor and TV personality Denise Welch, barely tried to hold back when discussing her son's brief, tumultuous relationship with Taylor Swift on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live. Expert orchestrator of mess that he is, Andy Cohen pointedly asked Welch about her reaction to Swift's last album, The Tortured Poets Department, which contained several songs about her time with Healy (and the media firestorm it caused). Welch began her response diplomatically, saying, 'Obviously, on pain of death, can I talk about that episode?' before proceeding to, more or less, talk about that episode: 'But not being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost.'

But let's just say her tone left little doubt over what she actually meant, eliciting gasps from both Cohen and the audience. In extremely British fashion, Welch quickly couched her comment by insisting, 'Not that I have anything against her at all! It was just — it was tricky.' She went on to suggest that Healy and others were 'not allowed to say anything' about the relationship or break-up, but then Swift wrote 'a whole album about it.' Welch then said, 'Matty has taken it all in completely good grace. He's very happy with his amazing fiancée, Gabriella [who uses the stage name, Gabriette], who is gorgeous. So, we've moved on.' A rep for Swift did not immediately return a request for comment. Healy, for his part, has actually said a few things (although in often somewhat vague terms) about his time with Swift. And as for whether he had any songs about the relationship or break-up planned, Healy said on the Doomscroll podcast last year that he wasn't interested in mining those experiences for the next 1975 album. 'I think that that's an obvious thing to draw from. And I'm just not interested in it,' he said, adding: 'The idea of making a record about something that personally happened to me, that by the time I put it out is gonna be like two years old, I see people doing that as well, and it's not interesting.'
