Gwyneth Paltrow parodies Astronomer scandal as temporary spokesperson
Gwyneth Paltrow, actress and ex-wife of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, has stepped in as the temporary spokesperson for tech company Astronomer following a viral workplace scandal. The controversy erupted after Astronomer's CEO Andy Byron and HR head Kristin Cabot were caught on Coldplay's kiss cam sharing an intimate moment during the band's July 16 concert. The clip quickly went viral, triggering backlash and prompting both executives to resign as the company launched an internal investigation. To control the damage, Astronomer released a satirical promotional video starring Paltrow. In it, she humorously dodges fan-fueled questions like 'What the actual F—?' and 'How's the social media team holding up?' while calmly stating, 'Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.' Rather than addressing the scandal directly, Paltrow shifts focus to promote Astronomer's core offerings—Apache Airflow, workflow automation solutions, and the company's upcoming Beyond Analytics conference this September. The video was posted on Astronomer's LinkedIn and X (formerly Twitter), where it quickly gained traction and was praised for its witty and self-aware approach. Thank you for your interest in Astronomer. — Astronomer (@astronomerio) July 25, 2025 With Pete DeJoy stepping in as interim CEO, Astronomer is aiming to stabilize its operations and redirect public attention to its technical services. The mix of humor, celebrity involvement, and strategic messaging is being hailed as a surprisingly effective PR recovery move during a chaotic week for the company.

Sajal Ali applauds ‘Pakkay Dost' for making Urdu fun for kids
Singer-songwriter Bilal Maqsood released a second volume of nursery rhymes from children's puppet show Pakkay Dost on YouTube on Tuesday. The first volume came out in 2023 and the show's vibrant visuals and engaging narratives garnered widespread acclaim, fostering a love for Urdu and enriching the lives of countless young viewers. Actor Sajal Ali lauded Maqsood's work on social media, penning, 'Bilal Maqsood, you are doing a great job!' She appreciated the show's reignition of Urdu language amongst the youth, 'Urdu is a beautiful language and it's high time we stop running away from it.' The actor reminded us that it's cool to embrace our mother tongue, 'It was always cool! Let's own it, celebrate it and make it even cooler!' On Wednesday, Maqsood took to Instagram to promote the new episodes, 'I make Pakkay Dost for kids. I have always longed to make quality content for children and have finally gotten the opportunity to do it after Strings ended. I believe the entertainment industry has stopped focusing on children since the last two decades." Being a father himself, the singer observed, 'Our kids are being raised on foreign content, which is out of our control. We cannot limit their screen time but the least we can do is to introduce them to shows that teach them good values, are safe and keep them connected to their culture and language.' Expressing why he chose Urdu, Maqsood stated 'I made Pakkay Dost because I wanted to make Urdu cool. Kids and parents often run away from Urdu and I wanted to change that. I want to request all parents and teachers to make sure that kids around them watch Pakkay Dost.' The show has been captivating young minds with playful storytelling and colourful visuals, fostering a love for the Urdu language while imparting valuable life lessons. This makes it an enjoyable experience for children and a meaningful one for parents who want to instill cultural and linguistic pride in their children. Each episode offers laughter, lessons, and an opportunity for children to connect with their roots. The show has garnered acclaim from parents and educators alike. In January, Maqsood announced partnership with ConnectHear to make Pakkay Dost accessible to the hearing-impaired community through the integration of sign language interpretation. "We are very excited to partner with ConnectHear," said Maqsood. "Our mission is to bring joy, learning and cultural enrichment and create a brighter childhood for all children. This collaboration is a significant step towards making Pakkay Dost truly inclusive and ensuring that every child can experience the magic of our show." "At ConnectHear, we believe in creating a world where no one is left behind," said Arhum Ishtiaq, CTO and Co-Founder, ConnectHear. "This alliance with Pakkay Dost allows us to bridge the gap in children's entertainment and education for the Deaf community. We're not just adding sign language to the show, we're adding joy, imagination, and inclusion to every deaf child's life.' Have something to add to the story? Share it in the comments below.

Ms. Rachel refuses to work with creators silent on Gaza
Popular children's YouTube creator Rachel Griffin Accurso, widely known as Ms. Rachel, has publicly declared that she will not collaborate with anyone who has remained silent on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. In a July 24 Instagram post, Accurso criticized content creators with large platforms who haven't spoken out about the Israeli military campaign in Gaza, which has resulted in tens of thousands of Palestinian deaths since Hamas' 2023 attacks. 'I will always choose kindness, but I will never understand your silence,' she wrote. 'Especially from those with so much privilege – the uncancelable – who still remain in the shadows.' Best known for her educational YouTube series Songs for Littles, Ms. Rachel has built a following of nearly 15 million subscribers by teaching young children basic concepts through songs and visuals. Her recent advocacy, however, has drawn backlash from pro-Israel groups. In April, StopAntisemitism called on authorities to investigate whether she was promoting anti-Israel propaganda. The group accused her of spreading manipulated images of Palestinian children and labeled her a 'Hamas propaganda amplifier.' In an interview with journalist Mehdi Hasan on Zeteo, Accurso defended her stance, saying, 'It should be controversial to not say anything.' She emphasized that her advocacy stems from empathy for children, not antisemitism. Accurso has partnered with Save the Children and continues to highlight Palestinian stories, including that of a 3-year-old girl injured in an airstrike. 'Kids feel I care about them deeply, and that's why I have this platform,' she said. Despite criticism, Ms. Rachel remains firm in using her voice to support Gaza's children.
