'Have been prepping to get out': Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis on her plans of retirement, opportunities for older actors
Washington DC [US], July 27 (ANI): Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis opened up about her thoughts on retirement and Hollywood's treatment of older actors, drawing on her parents, icons of the industry, Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, as reported by Deadline. She criticised the entertainment world's treatment of older actors, particularly women. "I witnessed my parents lose the very thing that gave them their fame and their life and their livelihood, when the industry rejected them at a certain age," she said, adding, "I watched them reach incredible success and then have it slowly erode to where it was gone. And that's very painful." Curtis continued, "I have been self-retiring for 30 years. I have been prepping to get out, so that I don't have to suffer the same as my family did. I want to leave the party before I'm no longer invited." Curtis wore huge plastic lips in the story's accompanying photoshoot to criticise the rise of cosmetic surgery in recent years, as well as the pressure women face to change themselves. Two months ago, she shared that she got plastic surgery at the age of 25 in response to a disparaging remark about her appearance and "regretted it immediately and have kind of sort of regretted it ever since." "The wax lips are my statement against plastic surgery," 'The Bear' star said of the aesthetic choice, adding, "I've been very vocal about the genocide of a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex, who've disfigured themselves. The wax lips really send it home," reported Deadline. Defending her use of the word "genocide," she added: "I've used that word for a long time and I use it specifically because it's a strong word. I believe that we have wiped out a generation or two of natural human appearance. The concept that you can alter the way you look through chemicals, surgical procedures, fillers -- there's a disfigurement of generations of predominantly women who are altering their appearances. And it is aided and abetted by AI, because now the filter face is what people want. I'm not filtered right now. The minute I lay a filter on and you see the before and after, it's hard not to go: 'Oh, well that looks better.' But what's better? Better is fake. And there are too many examples -- I will not name them -- but very recently we have had a big onslaught through media, many of those people," as per the outlet. Along with the soon-to-be-released sequel to 2003's Freaky Friday, Curtis will star in a Murder, She wrote reboot; produce The Lost Bus, a film based on the 2018 Camp Fire starring Matthew McConaughey; and star in and executive produce Scarpetta, based on Patricia Cornwell's best-selling novels, which has already been picked up for two seasons on Prime Video alongside Nicole Kidman. She will also produce and star in the psychological horror film "Sender," alongside Britt Lower, David Dastmalchian, and Anna Baryshnikov, as well as in James L. Brooks' dramedy "Ella McCay," which stars Woody Harrelson, Emma Mackey, Ayo Edebiri, Rebecca Hall, and Albert Brooks, reported Deadline. (ANI)

Astronomer has got a lot of questions in the last few days, am here to answer most common ones, says Astronomer's new temp hire Gwyneth Paltrow, ex-wife of Coldplay's Chris Martin
Data automation company Astronomer has hired Academy Award-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow as its "very temporary spokesperson" following a viral scandal that led to the resignation of its CEO and HR chief. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Oscar winner, who was married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin for over a decade, appeared in a tongue-in-cheek promotional video posted Friday night to help the company navigate public scrutiny. "Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones," Paltrow said in the video, addressing viewers while wearing a simple black top. The actress, who describes herself as hired on a "very temporary basis," represents the company's 300-plus employees during this turbulent period. Kiss Cam controversy: CEO and HR Chief resign after Coldplay concert Viral moment The New York-based company became an internet sensation after CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot were caught in an intimate embrace during a Coldplay concert's kiss cam segment. When the married executives tried to hide from cameras at Boston's Gillette Stadium, Martin joked from the stage, "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy." The footage exploded across social media, generating countless memes and parody videos. Both Byron and Cabot, who are reportedly married to other people, have since resigned from their positions. Astronomer launched a formal investigation, stating that "our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met." Ex-Wife of Coldplay singer tackles PR crisis with strategic video campaign In the promotional video, Paltrow masterfully sidesteps scandal-related questions, instead focusing on Astronomer's data automation services. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now When on-screen text shows questions like "OMG what the actual f," she enthusiastically responds about Apache Airflow and data pipeline management. "We've been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation ," she said. The casting choice appears calculated and ironic – Paltrow's connection to Martin adds layers of entertainment value while helping redirect attention to the company's AI and data automation tools. Social media users praised the move as "genius" and a "PR masterclass," with one commenting that hiring "the ex-wife of the lead Coldplay singer to deliver this message is absolutely savage." 'Genius' PR move turns viral scandal into brand awareness opportunity Astronomer's interim CEO and co-founder Pete DeJoy acknowledged the unprecedented attention, noting that the company is "now a household name" despite the circumstances. The strategic use of humor and celebrity endorsement represents an unconventional crisis management approach, transforming viral notoriety into potential brand awareness. Paltrow, who "consciously uncoupled" from Martin in 2014 while maintaining a close friendship, concluded the video by promising a return to normalcy: "We will now be returning to what we do best — delivering game-changing results for our customers." The company also promoted its upcoming Beyond Analytics event in September, demonstrating its commitment to moving forward professionally.
