HR director caught on Coldplay ‘kiss cam' quits company
The HR director caught cuddling the chief executive of her company on a 'kiss cam' at a Coldplay concert has resigned. Kristin Cabot has stepped down from her position at Astronomer, a software company, after the footage of her in the arms of Andy Byron went viral on social media, according to TMZ. 'Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer – she's resigned,' a source told the celebrity news website. Mr Byron, who is reportedly married, stepped down as the company's chief executive on Saturday, shortly after its directors announced it would hold an investigation into the incident. When footage of the pair was beamed around the arena on the 'kiss cam', Ms Cabot quickly covered her face and moved away, while Mr Byron ducked out of sight. The crowd could be heard laughing as Chris Martin, the Coldplay singer, said: 'Oh, look at these two ... Either they're having an affair or they're very shy.' Sports fans and even team mascots have re-enacted the moment on 'kiss cams' across the US. According to his LinkedIn profile, Mr Byron led Astronomer, a New York-based company, for two years. On Friday, Astronomer announced its board of directors had launched an investigation into its own chief executive. '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,' it said in a statement. 'The board of directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.' A woman understood to be Mr Byron's wife has changed her last name on her Facebook account, according to reports. Ms Cabot joined in 2024 as chief people officer, with Mr Byron describing her as a 'proven leader' with a 'passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces'. Reports suggest she was married but divorced in 2022. The incident took place just months after Astronomer raised $93m (£69.3m) from investors. The company is said to be valued at around $1bn.

Hulk Hogan's sex tape lawsuit had a lasting effect on cases involving celebrity privacy
Famous for his fearless bravado as a pro wrestler, Hulk Hogan won one of his most notable victories in a Florida courtroom by emphasizing his humiliation and emotional distress after a news and gossip website published a video of Hogan having sex with a friend's wife. A 2016 civil trial that pitted the First Amendment against the privacy rights of celebrities ended with a jury awarding Hogan a whopping $140 million in his lawsuit against Gawker Media. Though both parties later settled on $31 million to avoid protracted appeals, the case put Gawker out of business. It also ensured Hogan, who died Thursday at age 71, and his legal team would have a long-term impact on media law. The case showed that, in certain circumstances, celebrities could persuade a jury that their right to privacy outweighs the freedom of the press — even when the published material was true. The case put media outlets on notice that 'the public doesn't necessarily like the press,' especially when reporting intrudes into intimate details of even public figures' private lives, said Samantha Barbas, a University of Iowa law professor who writes about press freedoms and First Amendment issues. She said it also emboldened celebrities, politicians and others in the public spotlight to be more aggressive in suing over unflattering news coverage — as seen recently in President Donald Trump 's pursuit of court cases against the Wall Street Journal, ABC and CBS. 'I think the lasting effect of the Hulk Hogan case was it really started this trend of libel and privacy lawsuits being weaponized to kind of take down these media organizations,' Barbas said. Hogan wept hearing the verdict in a case that was 'real personal' Hogan, whose given name was Terry Bollea, sued Gawker for invading his privacy after the website in 2012 posted an edited version of a video of Hogan having sex with the wife of his then-best friend, Florida-based radio DJ Bubba The Love Sponge Clem. Clem gave his blessing to the coupling and recorded the video that was later leaked to Gawker. Hogan insisted he was unaware the intimate encounter was being filmed. The former WWE champion testified that he was 'completely humiliated' when the sex video became public. Hogan's lead trial attorney, Ken Turkel, recalled Thursday how his muscular, mustachioed client cried in court as the jury verdict was read. 'To him the privacy part of it was integral. It was important,' Turkel said. 'Eight-year-old kids were googling 'Hulk Hogan' and 'Wrestlemania,' and they were getting a sex tape. That was hurtful to him in a real personal way.' The three-week trial was closely followed far beyond the courtroom in St. Petersburg, Florida, as thousands of wrestling fans, First Amendment watchers and others stayed glued to their screens as the trial was streamed live online. Salacious details emerged about Hogan's sex life as jurors and spectators viewed. images of him in thong underwear. Other testimony focused on how New York-based Gawker practiced journalism differently than traditional news outlets. And Hogan explained to the jury about the difference between his wrestling persona and his private life. Jury rejected that First Amendment protected publishing sex tape The jury ultimately rejected arguments by Gawker's attorneys that Hogan's sex tape was newsworthy and that publishing it, no matter how distasteful, was protected speech under the First Amendment. 'Now more people, including judges, understand that it's possible to sue someone for revealing something truthful, as long as that something is deeply personal and its publication is highly offensive,' said Amy Gajda, a Brooklyn Law School professor who followed and wrote about the case against Gawker. News outlets still have broad legal protection for publishing information about public figures, even things that would generally be considered private, Gajda said 'As long as there is news value in what is published and the media can argue that effectively, they can get a privacy case dismissed very early on,' she said. ___ Bynum reported from Savannah, Georgia.

The world's best bar is flying in from Mexico City for a 4-day NYC takeover
New York's cocktail scene is no stranger to world-class talent, but this September, the reigning champ of global mixology is making a rare—and brief—appearance on local turf. From Wednesday, September 3 to Saturday, September 6, Handshake Speakeasy, the Mexico City cocktail den currently ranked numer one on The World's 50 Best Bars, will stage an exclusive four-night takeover of MAD Bar & Lounge inside the NH Collection New York Madison Avenue. It's the first time the team has popped up in New York and yes, it's expected to be wildly hard to get in. If you're not familiar with Handshake, it's not your average speakeasy. Behind an unmarked door in Mexico City's Zona Rosa district, the bar has earned global acclaim for its science-meets-sensory approach to cocktails. Drinks often take 24 to 48 hours to create in the lab-like prep kitchen, where culinary techniques and high-end ingredients combine into what can best be described as liquid wizardry. Now, they're bringing that same energy (alongside some New York-inspired twists) to Manhattan for four nights only. 'This is not just a cocktail bar—it's a sensory experience,' says Carlos Salomon, the general manager of NH Collection New York Madison Avenue. 'We're proud to host a world-class team that's redefining what it means to enjoy a drink.' While the exact cocktail menu remains under wraps, you can expect high-concept presentation, inventive ingredients and a few exclusive collaborations that may never appear again. MAD Bar will be reimagined for the occasion, with limited seating and an intimate vibe designed to let the drinks (and drama) shine. Reservations open Sunday, August 3 via Resy, and priority will be given to hotel guests, so if you're desperate to score a seat, consider booking a room. In a city where great bars are everywhere, this may be your only chance to sip from the top shelf—literally.
