Ex-Astronomer CEO to sue Coldplay over viral kiss cam video?
Ex-Astronomer CEO Andy Byron could sue Chris Martin's Coldplay for defamation, according to a Page Six report. This came after an unexpected kiss cam moment from Coldplay's recent concert made global headlines, bringing the former CEO and HR exec's personal lives under fire. In videos going viral on social media, Byron was seen sharing an intimate moment with the company's head of human resources, Kristin Cabot. In days after the incident, Byron resigned from his position amid growing backlash and an internal review from the Board of Directors. According to a Page Six report, Byron can possibly sue Coldplay due to the massive fallout he suffered after the kiss cam fiasco with his former colleague. Attorney Camron Dowlatshahi spoke to the outlet and shared, "If we are getting creative, a possible claim would be for defamation, specifically as it relates to Chris Martin characterising the two as having an 'affair.'" During the concert, Martin passed a brief remark as the camera caught Byron and Cabot, jokingly stating, "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy." The attorney went on to explain that Byron would need to prove that the singer's comments were defamatory and refute the "affair" claims, which he believes wasn't the case. He also said that Byron will need to prove that Chris Martin knew about his innocence and "made the statement anyway with malice." "None of those elements will be met, so any claim against Coldplay would be frivolous. I also very much doubt that Mr Byron would want further public scrutiny by bringing a borderline frivolous suit against the event organizers and/or Coldplay," he added.

'Maareesan' movie review: Fahadh Faasil, Vadivelu salvage this slow-burn thriller
Maareesan begins with an intriguing sequence of a rat that's let out of its trap and scurries inside a room — only to find a python. Director Sudheesh Shankar uses this sequence to establish that there are snakes and rats among us, inviting us into a guessing game that keeps us engrossed for the most of its 152-minute run time. And that is no mean feat, despite some stumbles. We're soon introduced to Dhayalan (Fahadh Faasil), a petty crook who's just been released from prison. He is soon back in action, stealing a smartphone from a temple and a bike from a movie-hall without fuss. Dhayalan is also a pragmatist: he beats the retreat when an alert commuter gives him a stern glare. Faasil channelises his characteristic humour, sarcasm and street-smarts that reminds you of his iconic role from the 2017 Malayalam crime drama Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum. Yet, in your mind, you're harking back to the opening sequence, asking yourself whether he's is the rat or the snake. He enters a house to pilfer its valuables when he comes face to face with Velayudham Pillai (Vadivelu), an Alzheimer's patient. Their opening exchange is one filled with humour, and a deal gets struck out of exasperation, after which the movie kicks into top gear. Hat-tip to V Krishna Moorthy, for dialogues littered with humorous wordplay. Dhayalan and Pillai soon set off on a road-trip across Tamil Nadu. The difference between them couldn't get starker, and that makes for compelling cinema. One's trying to escape his past; the other is losing his future. One bursts out in words, as in a river in full spate; the other's sedate like a still pond. Maareesan 's makers must be congratulated for putting an Alzheimer's patient as the protagonist without the fuss, sympathy and pathos. The condition is explained as not what Suriya suffers in Ghajini (2005) but almost like Sridevi in Moondram Pirai (Sadma). It's a treat to watch one of Tamil cinema's celebrated comedians not get mined for easy gags. 'Life must be pretty easy for you,' Dhayalan says. 'You can commit any crime and not have memories of it.' Pillai's response comes almost as a punch to the gut: 'What's life if there are no memories?' Yuvan Shankar Raja does well to punctuate the scene with silence and no background music. The duo ride past lush, green fields, run into a goat and smooth-talk out of the situation and break out into an impromptu rendition of Aaha inba nilavinile, a song from the 1957 epochal hit Maya Bazar. There are passing meta references to Vadivelu's Madurai origins and Faasil as the master actor. Kalaiselvan Sivaji's cinematography ensures you're looking at a video of Tamil Nadu tourism, highlighting its beauty. It feels like the Kamal Haasan, Madhavan-starrer Anbe Sivam met the Steve Martin drama Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Importantly, Faasil and Vadivelu bring their A-game to the fore and you're left spellbound. Maamannan (2023) had the two in opposing camps, but here they're together. They hit it out of the park with their earthy and authentic portrayals. There's little to dislike. A stage drama that renders Ilayaraja's yesteryear hit Nethu oruthara oruthara paathen dovetails into the narrative seamlessly. Yet, you keep wondering that something's gotta give… and the rat and snake. Something does give, during the interval block, or in the lead-up to the interval, when what seems like a slice-of-life drama enters thriller territory. And that's when Maareesan mis-steps. The second half ditches everything it had built in the first half and goes in for a different tone. You'd be forgiven for rubbing your eyes and wondering if you entered the wrong theatre. It shifts gears, yes, but the shift feels too abrupt. A bulging flashback that could have done with some trimming, police praising vigilantes and a perfunctory twist in the end. If you were wide-eyed with wonder until the interval, you'd turn wide-eyed with disappointment in the second. The routines and formulae that Tamil cinema was beholden to over the decades return with a vengeance. And as a viewer, all you can do is sigh. A twist in the end saves the proceedings a bit, as Faasil and Vadivelu hold it all together. The character Maareesan from the Hindu epic Ramayana is a master of disguise, but in the movie you wish the disguise was limited.
