Astronomer Announces New Interim CEO After Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal

Astronomer has announced a temporary replacement for CEO  Andy Byron and confirmed he was put on leave in the wake of the viral Coldplay cheating scandal.

The company shared a statement confirming the news to Us Weekly on Friday, July 18.

“Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy is currently serving as interim CEO given Andy Byron has been placed on leave,” the statement read. “We will share more details as appropriate in the coming days.”

Andy, 50, and Kristin Cabot were caught cuddling up to one another by the kiss cam during Coldplay’s concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, on Wednesday, July 16. Andy, who according to multiple reports, is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, immediately dropped his arms from Cabot’s waist and ducked away from the camera when he noticed that they were on the Jumbotron, while Cabot covered her face with her hands and turned around.

“Whoa, look at these two. Alright, come on. You’re OK. Oh, what? Either they’re having an affair, or they’re very shy,” Coldplay frontman Chris Martin told the audience. “I’m not quite sure what to do. Holy s***. I hope we didn’t do something bad.”

Us Weekly reached out to Astronomer, Andy and Cabot for comment.

Two days after the footage of the moment went viral, sparking countless memes, reactions from celebrities and even fake statements from the players involved, Astronomer broke its silence with a statement on Friday.

“Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,” the software company’s statement, which was shared via LinkedIn, read. “Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability. The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.”

The company also confirmed that Byron, who was appointed CEO in 2023, has not “put out any statement” regarding the scandal despite speculation.

Cabot was hired to work for Astronomer in November 2024. Andy praised the human resources executive in a press release at the time.

“At Astronomer, our people are the most valuable asset in helping our customers do more to gain a competitive advantage with their data,” he said. “Kristin’s exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement and scaling people strategies will be critical as we continue our rapid trajectory.”

He continued, “She is a proven leader at multiple growth-stage companies and her passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces makes her a perfect fit for Astronomer.”

Meanwhile, Cabot said she felt “energized” to work with Andy’s team.

“I prefer to think of my role as people strategy versus traditional human resources, as the real magic happens when you align the people strategy with the business strategy,” she shared in a statement. “There are plenty of companies out there where a leadership team doesn’t recognize the value that a strong people leader and people team can bring to a company. It’s not just about benefits or catered lunches. There’s so much more to it, and I was energized in my conversations with Andy and the Astronomer leadership team about the opportunities that exist here.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt Wanted to Be 'Sexy Not Sexualized' in ‘IKWYDLS’

Jennifer Love Hewitt wanted to embrace her sexy side — without being “sexualized” — when it came to her wardrobe in I Know What You Did Last Summer.

In a new interview with Vulture, published on Friday, July 18, Hewitt, 46, and director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, 37, spoke about how they wanted to shape her character Julie’s look for the reboot.

According to the outlet, Hewitt, her stylist and Robinson collaborated to conjure up a look “that felt right — sexy but not sexualized, in vintage T-shirts and blazers and jeans.”

Hewitt described the wardrobe choice in comparison to the sexualized outfits she wore in the 1997 original as “very healing.”

“Nobody’s going to be talking about my boobs. ‘Oh, you want me to flash you? They’re down here,’” she joked.

Acknowledging she does wear one low-cut top in IKWYDLS  “just to give some cleavage,” Hewitt added, “We were like, ‘Well, we’re back. Why not?’”

Earlier in the piece, Hewitt reflected on seemingly being sexualized as a teenager while working as an actress.

“Before I even knew what sex was, I was a sex symbol. I still don’t know that I have that fully defined for myself because it started so weird,” she said, noting that it “bothers me more now than it did at that age because I was in it.”

Robinson told Vulture that she wanted Hewitt to feel sexy onscreen but not solely for the benefit of men.

 “We cannot let men take away the fact that she is hot because they wanted to make it their thing,” she says. “We have to reclaim Jennifer Love Hewitt being hot for us!”

Mom of three Hewitt  — she shares Autumn, 11, Atticus, 10 and and Aidan, 4 with husband Brian Hallisay — has previously opened up about how it felt to get so much attention for her body in the 90s.

“In my 30s, I sort of went back and looked at that time again and I was like, ‘Oh my God,’” she told fellow teen star Mayim Bialik on her “Breakdown” podcast in January 2025.

She continued,  “There were grown men talking to me at 16 about my breasts just openly on a talk show, and people were laughing about it. I don’t even remember that, I really didn’t take that part in, but in hindsight it was really strange I think to become a sex symbol sort of for people before I even knew what that was.”

Ana De Armas Reads Novel About AI Girlfriend While on Trip With Tom Cruise

Ana de Armas’ latest beach read choice is an interesting selection.

Online gossip account DeuxMoi posted a photo of de Armas, 37, on a boat with Tom Cruise while on a getaway in Spain. The actress donned a sun hat and white cover-up. Cruise, 63, rocked a button-up shirt and fedora.

As the pair enjoyed the sunny day, de Armas had Sierra Greer’s book Annie Bot by her side while she sat across from the action movie star.

The science fiction novel, which was published last year, tells the story of an AI robot named Annie Bot. According to the synopsis, Annie Bot “was created to be the perfect girlfriend for her human owner” as she was “designed to satisfy his emotional and physical needs.” As Annie Bot adapts to life around her, she ends up becoming less perfect.

That same month, Cruise shared his excitement for de Armas’ new movie in the John Wick universe.

“I saw the movie, which kicks ass,” Cruise said via social media footage. “Oh, man, it’s right in that tone. It’s right in that big world, and you’re gonna love it.”

The following month, de Armas gushed about how great it was to have Cruise’s support.

“You know what, he supports every movie,” she said to Variety in June. “He really wants the industry and cinema to do well and [wants] people going to the theaters. We’re working together, so he got to see Ballerina, and he actually really liked it. He loved the John Wick [franchise].”

She continued: “It is very special that someone like him is supporting [Ballerina.] It is really special, in general, to have other actors and people supporting each other. We can do well all together.”

That same month, Cruise and de Armas were spotted together again while traveling in Europe. The twosome were photographed while lounging together on a luxury yacht near Ciutadella de Menorca, Spain.

Billy Ray and Elizabeth Hurley Cozy Up at Noah Cyrus' London Show

Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley enjoyed a night out in London at daughter Noah Cyrus’ concert.

Billy Ray, 63, and Hurley, 60, were seen snuggling up while in the audience at Noah’s show at the Islington Assembly Hall on Friday, July 18, according to an eyewitness. In photos obtained by Us Weekly, Billy Ray can be seen sitting next to Hurley with an arm sweetly wrapped around her.

In addition to supporting his daughter from the crowd, Billy Ray joined Noah, 25, on stage for an impromptu performance. The father-daughter duo sang her songs “With You” and “Stand Still” together. “With You” has a particularly special meaning to Noah and Billy Ray as it was inspired by their bond.

Billy Ray has been staying with Hurley while he enjoys his time across the pond. This was not the couple’s first outing to support their loved ones. Last month, the pair attended the London premiere of Miley Cyrus’ film Something Beautiful.

“What a treat- a perfect way to celebrate the Summer Solstice with @mileycyrus Reborn from Something Beautiful,” Hurley shared via Instagram alongside a series of photos and videos showing her and Billy Ray supporting Miley.

Hurley posted a subsequent photo sharing that Miley, 32, met her son Damian. (Billy Ray shares Miley, Noah and son Braison with ex-wife Tish Cyrus. The country singer also adopted Tish’s two children, Trace and Brandi, from a previous relationship. Hurley welcomed Damian with ex Steve Bing.)

Billy Ray and Hurley hard-launched their relationship earlier this year on Easter Sunday.

“Happy Easter ♥,” the couple captioned a joint Instagram photo of them sharing a sweet smooch.

After sending the internet into a frenzy, Hurley shared some more insight about her connection to the “Achy Breaky Heart” singer.

“I think people found Billy and I being together a little surprising,” she told reporters while on the red carpet for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s Hot Pink Party in May. “It’s not surprising to me because we’re actually quite similar and get on extremely well. There has been quite a reaction. … We both like to laugh a lot, and we both love the country. And we both love country music, both love movies. We’ve got a lot in common — and cowboy boots, definitely.”

Teen Charged With Parents' Murder After Asking TikTok Influencers for Help

A Georgia teen has been accused of killing her mother and stepfather after she first allegedly reached out to TikTok bloggers for help on solving the case.

According to court documents viewed by Us Weekly on Friday, July 18, Sarah Grace Patrick was arrested on July 8 in Carroll County on two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault. At the time, she was denied bond.

“We can confirm that an arrest has been made in this case,” the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office also wrote via Facebook on July 8. “Kristin Brock’s 17-year-old daughter, Sarah Grace Patrick, has been taken into custody and charged with two counts of Murder and two counts of Aggravated Assault in connection with the deaths of her mother [Kristin] and stepfather [James Brock].”

The arrest came more than one year after police first discovered the bodies of Kristin, 41, and James, 45, on the morning of February 20, 2025. According to police, they both died from apparent gunshot wounds in their home.

“While the case has not remained in the public spotlight in recent months, this investigation has never gone silent,” police said in their latest statement. “Real justice takes time, time to ensure that no detail is overlooked, no stone unturned.”

Even with the arrest, police said the case remains an active and ongoing investigation and additional arrests are possible as new evidence comes to light. Anyone with information is still encouraged to come forward.

“Our prayers remain with the families of James and Kristin Brock, and especially with their young daughter who was at home during this horrific crime,” police said. “We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the community that rallied for justice and never gave up hope.”

Before an arrest was made, Patrick reportedly reached out to multiple TikTok influencers to bring attention to the case, People reported.

Carroll County Communications Director Ashley Hulsey confirmed to FOX News Digital in a July 11 press conference that Patrick had a TikTok account that commented on posts related to the case and said investigators uncovered “mountains of evidence.”

Patrick’s grandfather Dennis Nolan has questioned the strength of the case and believes his granddaughter is innocent.

“It’s all speculative stuff,” he said in an interview with FOX 5 Atlanta. “Nothing puts the gun in her hand. They don’t have the gun.”

After Patrick’s arrest, Nolan said he received a phone call from his granddaughter in jail.

“What are they doing to me?” she reportedly told Nolan. “Why are they doing this to me? I didn’t do anything.”
