Ex-Astronomer CEO to sue Coldplay over viral kiss cam video?
Ex-Astronomer CEO Andy Byron could sue Chris Martin's Coldplay for defamation, according to a Page Six report. This came after an unexpected kiss cam moment from Coldplay's recent concert made global headlines, bringing the former CEO and HR exec's personal lives under fire. In videos going viral on social media, Byron was seen sharing an intimate moment with the company's head of human resources, Kristin Cabot. In days after the incident, Byron resigned from his position amid growing backlash and an internal review from the Board of Directors. According to a Page Six report, Byron can possibly sue Coldplay due to the massive fallout he suffered after the kiss cam fiasco with his former colleague. Attorney Camron Dowlatshahi spoke to the outlet and shared, "If we are getting creative, a possible claim would be for defamation, specifically as it relates to Chris Martin characterising the two as having an 'affair.'" During the concert, Martin passed a brief remark as the camera caught Byron and Cabot, jokingly stating, "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy." The attorney went on to explain that Byron would need to prove that the singer's comments were defamatory and refute the "affair" claims, which he believes wasn't the case. He also said that Byron will need to prove that Chris Martin knew about his innocence and "made the statement anyway with malice." "None of those elements will be met, so any claim against Coldplay would be frivolous. I also very much doubt that Mr Byron would want further public scrutiny by bringing a borderline frivolous suit against the event organizers and/or Coldplay," he added.

Boghossian's Lirya Collection Makes a Convincing Case for Colour
Who says diamonds have to steal the show? Boghossian's Lirya collection lets colour take the lead — and it works beautifully In the world of high jewellery, it's easy to be distracted by size, sparkle, or price tag. But lately, the most compelling collections are less about spectacle and more about substance, especially when it comes to colour. There's a growing appetite for pieces that feel personal, layered, and unexpected. Enter Lirya, the latest high jewellery collection from Boghossian. Debuted at TEFAF New York before its official launch in the maison's Geneva and London boutiques, Lirya is all about balance – not just in design, but in its approach to storytelling through gemstones. Think aquamarine alongside moonstone, rubellite meeting green tourmaline, or pink sapphire softening the punch of kunzite. These combinations shouldn't work, but in Boghossian's hands, they do (and beautifully so). Unlike more traditional collections that build around a hero diamond, Lirya starts with the stones themselves. The result is a series of pieces that feel fluid, modern, and somehow effortless. Settings are minimal, letting light and colour take the lead. Every gemstone is given space to shine, both literally and figuratively. Highlights include the 'Lirya' Diamond, Aquamarine and Yellow Beryl Earrings – a study in tonal precision – and the Multi-Colour Gemstone and Diamond Necklace, where the blend of hues feels almost painterly. Other standouts pair tourmaline with Paraiba, or layer aquamarine with moonstone and diamond for a cooler, more serene palette. There's even a show-stopping kunzite and pink sapphire set that plays with scale and saturation, offering an elegant twist on the classic chandelier silhouette. Of course, this isn't Boghossian's first time leaning into colour. The family-run house has built its legacy on defying convention – whether through patented setting techniques or its now-signature East-meets-West aesthetic. But Lirya feels like a confident continuation of that ethos: high jewellery that respects tradition, but isn't bound by it. For collectors looking for something quietly bold and refreshingly refined, Lirya hits the right note. Because when craftsmanship is this good, and the colour play this considered, you don't need diamonds to make a statement.
