Watch: 'Weird Al' Yankovic leads star-studded Coldplay kiss cam spoof
1 of 5 | "Weird Al" Yankovic spoofed the recent Coldplay "kiss cam" scandal on "The Late Show" Monday. File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo July 22 (UPI) -- "Weird Al" Yankovic and Lin-Manuel Miranda led a star-studded Coldplay kiss cam spoof on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Monday. The duo performed the Coldplay song "Viva la Vida," and then spotlighted several "couples" in the audience. The parody was a nod to the recent controversy surrounding Astronomer's former CEO Andy Byron, who was spotted with the company's HR head, Kristin Cabot, at a Coldplay concert last week. When the "kiss cam" zoomed in on Byron and Cabot, who are married to other people, Byron ducked and Cabot covered her face. "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy," said the band's frontman Chris Martin. The moment has circulated widely online and inspired countless spoofs since. Byron subsequently resigned from Astronomer. As Yankovic and Miranda sang, the camera zoomed in on several "couples," portrayed by Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, and Adam Sandler and Christopher McDonald. Colbert said the song was an effort to cheer up his fans after the news that The Late Show, which has been on the air since 1993, has been canceled.

'Genshin Impact' unveils Nod-Krai cast in 'Welkin Moon' teaser
July 22 (UPI) -- Genshin Impact is introducing the cast of its upcoming Nod-Krai region. The fantasy action role-playing video game shared a teaser, "Song of the Welkin Moon: Moonlit Ballad of the Night," on Tuesday featuring Varka, Alice, Durin, Sandrone, Columbina and other characters. The lunar-themed video is narrated by Nicole, a member of the Hexenzirkel witches. It opens with Varka, the leader of Mondstadt's Knights of Favonius, being called to listen to a story told by the character Nefer, who is later shown to have a green, seemingly Egyptian-inspired design. The camera then pans to Ineffa, who was previously introduced and will release in version 5.8, Jahoda and Durin, the human embodiment of the dragon created by Rhinedottir, a Hexenzirkel witch and one of the Five Sinners of Khaenri'ah. Others include Sandrone and Columbina, two members of the Fatui Harbingers, Lauma, who was introduced in the "Through the Silent Frostbound Night" teaser last week, and Flins. Columbina is shown to be the "Moon Maiden" at the center of the story. "She scatters dewdrops upon every bloom / And tints the twilight with a sheen of silver / Thus do shadows howl across the gloomy woods / As flocks of deer and birds take fright and shiver / She hums one nameless tune / While walking through those solitary halls / So her homeland may not fall to desolation / So the tale may not be lost to oblivion," the official description reads. The teaser ends with existing characters Albedo and Wanderer approaching Alice, a Hexenzirkel witch and Klee's mother. Alice has been mentioned and heard but not shown in the game thus far. Genshin Impact version 5.8 will release July 29 in the United States. Nod-Krai and its cast are expected to be fully introduced in version 6.0 and beyond.
