YAHOO POLL: Should Astronomer CEO Andy Byron have resigned?
Unless you've been living under a rock with no access to social media, then you're probably aware that there's a tech company called Astronomer whose CEO recently got caught snuggling with a woman who was not his wife at a recent Coldplay concert in Boston. Astronomer chief Andy Byron is holding his company's chief people officer, Kristin Cabot, in his arms when footage of their embrace is beamed up onto the stadium's jumbotron. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin says 'Oh look at these two" which prompts Cabot to quickly cover her face while Byron ducks to avoid the cameras. "Either they're having an affair or they're very shy," Coldplay's Martin accurately notes. Of course, someone was filming the entire awkward exchange and decided it would be best to blast the clip on social media. The video went viral and it didn't take internet sleuths long to identify who the couple were and create rumours of an alleged affair. The woman behind the viral video says she wasn't trying to cause any trouble when she posted it – but at the same time she's not exactly apologetic either. "Play stupid games... win stupid prizes," she was quoted as saying in an interview. Other polls YAHOO POLL: Does cutting public holidays help boost the economy?

Astronomer launched an investigation at the weekend and it was announced shortly afterwards that Byron had resigned from his role. As of press time, there was no update on Cabot's position. 'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,' the company's statement released Saturday reads. "Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO." While the whole episode was not been the kind of attention Astronomer would have wanted, some public relations experts have said the newfound fame could, ultimately, benefit the firm.

Lewis Hamilton Reportedly Dating British Pop Singer From 'F1' Movie
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ferrari Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton has been rumored to be dating British pop singer Raye, who worked with him for the 'F1' movie. Raye was spotted in the Ferrari garage during the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, supporting Hamilton during his first home race with the Maranello-based team. Hamilton has reportedly dated several popular personalities throughout his F1 career thus far, such as Hips Don't Lie artist Shakira in 2023. Early this year, Hamilton was spotted having lunch with Colombian actress Sofia Vergara in New York, and now, a report by Planet F1 has linked the 40-year-old driver to Raye. Originally named Rachel Keen, the 27-year-old singer performed on stage at Silverstone, earning praise from Hamilton. Raye also composed a track for the 'F1' movie, which was co-produced by the seven-time world champion. Raye was present for the F1 season opener in Melbourne in March, cheering for Hamilton. Speaking to Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle before the race, she said: Fourth placed qualifier Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Scuderia Ferrari is interviewed during qualifying ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Austria at Red Bull Ring on June 28, 2025 in Spielberg, Austria. Fourth placed qualifier Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Scuderia Ferrari is interviewed during qualifying ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Austria at Red Bull Ring on June 28, 2025 in Spielberg, Austria."Team Lewis! We couldn't miss this moment. "This is electric. The first black man in red, we're so proud to see it." When asked if she was in touch with Hamilton throughout the race weekend, she said: "Yeah, no. He's had to really get in his zone. "We're just here to support and I'm so grateful I get to be here to witness this moment." Months later, Raye's performance impressed Hamilton after the British GP qualifying session. Speaking to the media, he said: "Raye is the first concert I've been to after a race and she was great. She was the first concert I've been to at Silverstone actually. So it was great to see her, wasn't it? "It's so great that acts can come here now. When I was watching last night I was like it's incredible to perform here the crowd were great." RAYE IN THE FERRARI GARAGE WITH ANTHONY HAMILTON ❤️ — sim (@simsgazette) March 14, 2025 Hamilton's P4 finish at Silverstone was his best result thus far with Ferrari. The last stage of the race saw him battle with Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg for P3, who surprisingly held his ground and secured his first F1 podium. Given the spell of rain and the poor visibility that followed, Hamilton revealed that his Ferrari SF-25 was a tricky machine to drive in those conditions. He said: "[It was a] difficult race, not a great one from my side. I did the best I could. "As it showed there was plenty of mistakes out there and very, very tricky conditions, in really a very, very hard car to drive here – this car doesn't like those conditions. Not ideal, but we got some points at least."

From the Archives: Supermodel—and New Mom—Gisele Bündchen on Her Eco Interests
Gisele Bündchen's private life has kept its mystery, and she's let her avatar, the übermodel, take all the flashbulbs. Some years ago, when she felt that her life was nothing more than 'get up, take pictures, go to sleep, get up, take pictures,' she took off six months. She also logged on to and typed in SPIRITUAL BOOKS, which led to a passion for the writings of Miguel Ruiz, which taught her to rely on her own instinct: 'The more you trust your intuition, the more empowered you become, the stronger you become, and the happier you become.' Three years ago, when Gisele met Tom Brady, she moved up to Boston to be with him. It was a vocational as well as an emotional turning point. 'I'm a person who normally works 300 days a year, and here I am in Boston in this apartment and Tom's playing, and what do I do here? On my Web site, a lot of girls were asking me questions about feeling awkward. I wanted to work with girls who were fourteen to sixteen.' She wanted to be heard and chose the Massachusetts Alliance of Portuguese Speakers—'They take care of girls from shelters, girls who have been abused. I came up with a nine-week program and went to talk to them about empowerment and self-esteem.' It was a shock. 'I thought I was going to be able to save them, guide them. When I got there they were like, 'Who are you?' There were a lot of Latina and black girls. In Brazil, everyone is a mixture, and no one thinks about it. In America, maybe you have more problems with that. It took me a week or two just to get them to sit down with me and talk. I had my yoga teacher come up from New York to teach them yoga. I wanted to share something, but I ended up realizing that you cannot save anybody. I forced it, and it didn't quite go through.' Sejaa was born of that frustration, as a way for Bündchen to impart some of what she has learned, but by subliminal means. 'I wanted to teach girls to love themselves and take care of their bodies. What is the first thing you see every morning? Your face! What do you put every day on your face? Cream! I have made the simplest, purest cream—an everyday cream—but it comes with an affirmation.'
