Chris Martin is warning fans about the kiss cam after that Coldplay concert viral clip
After that Coldplay kiss cam video, featuring (now ex-) CEO Andy Byron and his HR chief, Kristin Cabot, went viral, the band's lead singer, Chris Martin, has given fans at his subsequent gigs a warning. When the camera panned across to a married Byron and Cabot, showing them with their arms wrapped around one another, the pair instantly sprang apart and tried to hide, causing Martin to quip "Oh, what... either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.' Unfortunately it appears to be the latter. Astronomer, Byron's former workplace, told Cosmopolitan UK: "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. "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. "Before this week, we were known as a pioneer in the DataOps space, helping data teams power everything from modern analytics to production AI. While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not. "We're continuing to do what we do best: helping our customers with their toughest data & AI problems." Now, Martin has warned fans to be careful during subsequent kiss cam moments at Coldplay shows, quipping during a recent gig, "We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd. How we're gonna do that is we're gonna use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen." He then grinned and added, "So please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now."

Meghan Markle sends 'birthday love' in cryptic message as Queen Camilla turns 78
As Queen Camilla celebrates her 78th birthday today, her estranged daughter-in-law Meghan Markle has shared a cryptic message on social media. In an Instagram Story, Meghan posted a video of herself unboxing a crate containing three bottles of wine from her lifestyle brand, As Ever. Alongside the video, Meghan wrote: "Sending birthday love (both near and far) to my ladies," alongside a heart emoji. Although it's unclear who Meghan intended to send the wine to, many speculate the gesture was directed at the Queen. Meghan is thought to have shared a connection with Camilla early on in her royal life, with both women bonding over their mutual love for the arts and wine. However, despite their initial closeness, their relationship seems to have soured - with a major turning point reportedly occurring when Meghan allegedly broke a pledge, a move that is said to have deeply upset Camilla, the Mirror reports. The incident happened five years ago, when it was revealed that Meghan had insisted on having photos of her at a theatre visit released on the day the then Duchess of Cornwall delivered a significant speech. Camilla's address marked the 10th anniversary of the Women of the World Festival in London - an event which had been nearly a year in the making. According to reports, Meghan had agreed not to upstage Camilla's important campaign highlighting abuse. However, images from her private visit to the National Theatre were published on the very day of Camilla's milestone speech. Meghan's latest cryptic post comes as the Palace marks Camilla's birthday with the release of a new official portrait, along with well wishes for her big day. Adding to the celebration a photo surfaced online of Camilla as a child, sparking wholesome reactions from royal fans. The throwback snap got people talking online, as many remarked on how different the Queen looked in her childhood. A social media user took to X to share the photo, with the caption: "A young Queen Camilla." Commenting, one person stated: "Too adorable for words." Another said: "I don't think I've ever seen childhood photos of her. She was adorable," while a third agreed: "Wow.... She was a cutie." Camilla was born on July 17, 1947, at King's College Hospital in London and spent her early years in Sussex. She began her education at Drumbrell's School in Ditchling, later attending the esteemed Queen's Gate School in South Kensington. After leaving Queen's Gate at 16, she continued her studies at Mon Fertile School in Switzerland and later at the Institut Britannique in Paris, before starting her professional life in London. Camilla first met her future husband, King Charles, at a polo match in 1970 through a mutual friend. Although their initial romance was brief, she went on to marry Andrew Parker Bowles, an officer in the Household Cavalry, in 1973. The couple remained married until 1995. Prince Charles and Princess Diana married in 1981 but divorced in 1996, just a year before Diana's tragic death. Nearly a decade later, in 2005, King Charles and Camilla tied the knot. Meghan's cryptic birthday post comes amid growing speculation of a possible reconciliation between the Sussexes and the royal family. Just last week, senior aides to both King Charles and Prince Harry were seen chatting over drinks at the Royal Over-Seas League in London, located just minutes from Clarence House. The meeting has sparked speculation that the aides may have been discussing a possible meeting between the King and Harry, during his upcoming visit to the UK in September. Notably, there was no representative for Prince William, whose relationship with his brother remains strained, present at the gathering. Recently Harry made public his desire to bury the hatchet with his family, saying in a tell-all interview with the BBC in May that he "would love a reconciliation" with the King and William, as he admitted that he was tired of fighting, and he worried about Charles' health because he did "not know how much longer [his] father has." In the interview, the Duke simply stated: "I would like to get my father and brother back."

Controversial influencer Liver King has been arrested over a shocking charge
Divisive influencer Brian Johnson, best known online as the Liver King, has been arrested in Austin, Texas, and has been charged with making a terroristic threat, according to Austin Police Department records. Further details of the charge, which was booked at around 1am on the 25 June, are not publicly known. Johnson was the subject of a recent Netflix documentary, Untold: The Liver King, which detailed how he shot to fame thanks to his online presence and muscular physique – that Johnson credited to his 'ancestral' diet of raw organs. It later transpired that he had lied about using steroids, which put his supplements business in a somewhat shady light. Johnson later apologised for misleading the public and said he still stands by ancestral living, and would continue to promote a more 'natural' lifestyle to his followers. Johnson's most recent Instagram post saw him call out popular podcast host Joe Rogan, a man often credited with encouraging men to vote for Donald Trump in the last US and having a significant impact on the results. It is not known whether his social post relates to the arrest. "Joe Rogan, I'm calling you out, my name's Liver King. Man to man, I'm picking a fight with you," Johnson said to his 2.9 million followers. "I have no training in Jiu-jitsu, you're a black belt, you should dismantle me. But I'm picking a fight with you. Your rules, I'll come to you, whenever you're ready." Following this video, another post was shared to Liver King's account showing his wife, Barbara (known as the Liver Queen), speaking to someone off-camera who says, "Take this with a grain of salt, but they assured me he's going to be in and out [...] We're talking 24 hours." The unidentified person also said Liver King would appear before a judge, before footage shows a handcuffed Johnson standing outside a vehicle with armed officers.
