Coldplay Cheating Row: Chris Martin Takes A Dig At Andy Byron During Madison Concert, "If You Haven't Done..."
Coldplay resumed their tour with a performance in Madison, Wisconsin, where frontman Chris Martin made a light-hearted reference to a recent viral incident.
What's Happening
Before the stadium's usual "kiss-cam" segment, Chris Martin addressed the audience, saying, "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."
With a smile, he added, "So please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now."

Background
Chris Martin's comment comes shortly after an earlier show in Massachusetts, where the kiss-cam captured Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company's HR head, Kristin Cabot, in a PDA-filled moment. As soon as the kiss-cam showed their glimpse, they hid their faces and turned their backs towards the camera.
At the time, Martin had commented, "Either they're having an affair, or they are really shy." The clip quickly went viral and resulted in backlash online.
Following the incident, both Byron and Cabot, who are married to other people, were placed on administrative leave by Astronomer.
On Saturday, the company's Board of Directors confirmed Byron's resignation through an official statement.
The incident drew significant media attention, with online users sharing memes and criticising the duo. Megan Kerrigan, Byron's wife and an educator at the Bancroft School, removed her husband's surname from her Facebook profile before deactivating her account. Kristin Cabot is married to Andrew Cabot, CEO of Privateer Rum.
Meanwhile, the Baahubali franchise's social media team joined in on the viral trend. They shared an edited photo of Prabhas and Anushka Shetty as Baahubali and Devasena in a romantic pose, captioning it, "CEO & HR of Maahishmathi," referencing the fictional kingdom from the film.

‘I love love': Says Tara Sutaria amid dating rumours with Veer Pahariya; opens up about her ideal husband
Bollywood beauty Tara Sutaria has been in the news lately due to her rumoured relationship with Veer Pahariya. Dating rumours began back in May this year, when reports suggested that Tara had moved on from ex-boyfriend Aadar Jain with the Sky Force actor. Their social media PDA further intensified the buzz when Tara called Veer 'Mine' under a comment he posted on her picture. Last week, without saying a word, the couple made their romance official at the 2025 India Couture Week when showstopper Tara blew a kiss at Veer in the front row, who responded with a flying kiss. Well, Tara has now opened up about love, marriage and her ideal husband. Veer Pahariya and Tara Sutaria Tara Sutaria recently joined Ranveer Allahbadia on his podcast The Ranveer Show. Talking about love, the actor shared, 'I love love. It is the best feeling ever. I don't think I can compare any other experience in the world to that feeling. I mean, a solo trip is fabulous, but go on a trip with the love of your life. It changes your perspective on everything. Love is the thing man. Like, nothing greater. No career, no nothing beats love. And anybody that says otherwise has not been in it.' When asked if she wants to get married, Tara replied, 'Most certainly yes.' Talking about what her ideal husband would be like, the actor shared, 'Simple, in essence. I hope he knows himself and understands himself, and likes himself, and loves himself. And taking the effort to make time for a person is the most important thing. You give someone your time, I don't think any girl in the world wants anything else. And if she does, well then (smirks).' On the work front, Tara will next be seen in Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups alongside Rocking Star Yash, Nayanthara and Kiara Advani. The much-awaited period gangster film is written and directed by Geetu Mohandas. Veer, who made his Bollywood debut with Akshay Kumar's Sky Force this year, is yet to announce his next.

Japan bows to Nagarjuna: Inside the ‘Nag-Sama' phenomenon
Telugu cinema continues to captivate Japanese audiences, with Akkineni Nagarjuna now joining the ranks of beloved stars. Affectionately called "Nag-sama," a term reserved for deities and royalty, Nagarjuna's recent role in Kuberaa has resonated deeply. His calm yet commanding presence has solidified his place in the hearts of Japanese fans. Japanese audiences have shown remarkable affection for Telugu cinema in recent years, whether it was Baahubali propelling Prabhas to stardom, or RRR drawing crowds to screenings and inspiring a fan to learn Telugu just to speak with Jr NTR. Now, joining this elite list of Telugu stars adored in Japan is Akkineni Nagarjuna. The actor has found a devoted fan base that affectionately calls him 'Nag-sama.' What does sama mean in Japanese? In Japanese culture, the suffix 'sama' is reserved for deities, royalty, or individuals held in high esteem, a mark of the deep admiration he has earned. Why are fans calling him 'Nag-Sama'? While Nagarjuna has been a towering figure in Telugu cinema for decades, his role in Brahmāstra first introduced him to a global audience. But it was his recent portrayal as Deepak in Kuberaa that seems to have struck a chord with Japanese audiences, who have commended the actor's calm yet commanding presence on screen. @ranpo292 I watched Kuberaa. It was fun! Dhanush is so cute Her way of speaking and facial expressions were both lovely. I fell for was unexpectedly good... So that person is Nagu-sama, huh ~ ! There was something amazing overflowing from it, and the melancholy of old age was irresistible!! @akiyama_0_0 What makes Kuberaa so appealing is the presence of Nagu in this film. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pierce Brosnan's Wife Lost 120 Pounds - This Is Her Now Undo Usually, my comments would be something like, 'This is what Nag-sama's role in this movie is good at.' The part where you think, 'Deepak Sir is...' It makes you realize that you are seeing it through the characters. The same goes for Aneesh Shetty in Brahmastra.
