Gwyneth Paltrow hired as 'temporary' spokesperson for Astronomer after viral Coldplay kiss cam incident
Gwyneth Paltrow is starring in a new ad for Astronomer. Almost two weeks 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, Gwyneth has been hired as a 'temporary' spokesperson for Astronomer. Gwyneth, 52 – 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. She said: '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.' The first question, 'OMG! What the actual f***?', then appeared on the screen in writing. However, she dodged the question and said: 'Yes, Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow, unifying the experience of running data, ML and AI pipelines at scale. 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, she moved on before the whole question could be asked, saying: '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.' The video was captioned: 'Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.' At Coldplay's July 15 concert, 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, Chris, 48, 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.

'It's totally different than anything I've ever had before': Zac Brown smitten with new fiancee
Zac Brown says his relationship with his new fiancée is 'totally different than anything I've ever had before'. The Zac Brown Band star, 46, first revealed his romance with Kendra Scott in May when they walked the red carpet at the American Music Awards in Las Vegas and after announcing their engagement, the smitten star shared how happy he is with Kendra, 51. He told Us Weekly: 'Finding someone I'm so like-minded with and share and align in such a way, it's such an incredible thing. It's totally different than anything I've ever had before.' It was previously revealed that the couple had met through a mutual friend and spent a few months getting to know each other privately before going public with their relationship. The wedding will mark Zac's third trip down the aisle. He was previously married to Shelly Sloan - the mother of his five children - but the union ended in divorce in 2018 after 12 years. At the time, the former couple noted they felt "blessed" to have been together for so long and would always "love" their family but they had grown apart as they looked forward to their "next venture" in life. In a statement, they explained: "We feel blessed to be on such an incredible journey in life and sometimes the journey begins to lead in different directions. It is with deep love and respect that we announce we are separating as a couple. "We have led a whirlwind life together growing into a beautiful family with five amazing children and while life will be rearranging a bit, our love and commitment to our family will always be there. "This was a difficult decision, but we've done plenty of tough things together and this is our next venture — love, mutual respect, and care for each other are what we are moving forward with." Zac went on to tie the knot with model/actress Kelly Yazdi in August 2023 but the couple split just four months after the wedding. In a joint statement released at the time, they told "We are in the process of divorce. Our mutual respect for one another remains. "We wish each other the best and will always appreciate our time together. As we navigate this personal matter, we simply request privacy during this time."

Life in the fast lane: Inside the real estate portfolio of F1 star Brad Pitt
Star of the new hit sports film F1, Brad Pitt is most widely known for his award-winning film roles. However, in real estate circles the star is just as well known as an architecture aficionado, having purchased multiple architecturally significant properties throughout his career. Now in his 60s, the leading man has amassed a multi-million dollar property portfolio filled with iconic homes, secluded estates and lucrative commercial properties. Here are some of the incredible properties that make up Pitt's real estate portfolio. The Steel House - $5.5 million According to the Robb Report, Pitt purchased the architecturally-designed Steel House in a secret off-market deal with oil heiress Aileen Getty. Pitt paid a reported $5.5 million (AUD $8.3 million) for the midcentury-modern Los Feliz home, days after he sold Getty his own Los Feliz home that he once lived in with ex-wife Angelina Jolie and their six kids for $33 million (AUD $50 million). Designed by architect Neil M. Johnson in 1960, the L-shaped home features floor-to-ceiling windows, cantilevered roofline and terrazzo floors. Straight from a Slim Aarons photograph, the distinctly Southern Californian home wraps around a central swimming pool and patio, framed by lush landscaping. Luxury amenities in the property include a redwood hot tub, sauna and a retro white open fireplace. The D.L. James House - $40 million In 2022, Pitt made another significant off-market purchase. This time it was the iconic D.L. James House in Carmel Highlands, which the star bought for a record-breaking $40 million (AUD $60.6 million). Perched on a rocky seaside bluff, the residence was built by Charles Sumner Greene around 1918. Commissioned by writer D.L. James, Carmel Magazine states the design of the home was based on "the ruins of Tintagel Castle in Cornwall, England". Locally known as 'Seaward', the home has an illustrious history with many famous former residents including Jesse James, Charlie Chaplin and Joan Didion. Built entirely with stone, the Mediterranean-style home appears to grow out of the rocky cliff-face and offers unobstructed ocean views. It features arched windows, an outdoor courtyard, tile roof and dedicated staff wing. Château Miraval - $60 million One of Pitt's largest real estate holdings is an 1,200-acre estate and winery in Correns, France known as Château Miraval. Originally Pitt rented the property with his ex-wife Jolie, before the couple purchased it in 2012 for $60 million (AUD $91 million). The 35-room château includes a recording studio, a Romanesque chapel where the couple were married, indoor and outdoor pools, a gym and spa, and a screening room. The grounds feature multiple cottages, olive groves, a private lake, dirt bike course, helipads and a vineyard that launched a rose in 2013. After their divorce, Jolie sold her 50 percent share to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler's Stoli Group - a deal that is still being contested in court by Pitt. Goleta Beach House - $4 million Located outside Santa Barbara, is the secluded Goleta Beach House that Pitt was reported to have purchased in 2000 for $4 million (AUD $6 million). The star bought the oceanfront home not long after his marriage to star Jennifer Aniston and it was believed to have been a romantic hideaway for the pair. Set on an expansive 11.5-acre plot near Gaviota State Park, the home offers direct coastal access and ocean views. Frogtown Studios - $6.93 million Not satisfied with only residential investments, in 2021 Pitt secured three commercial properties in Los Angeles's Frogtown neighbourhood. The actor paid a reported $2.93 million (AUD $4.4 million) for a vintage manufacturing building on Clearwater Street. A year later, he purchased two plots directly across the street for around $4 million (AUD $6 million). Pitt acquired the properties in the former industrial area from his longtime friend British sculptor Thomas Houseago.
