Oasis' Liam Gallagher gives kiss cam reassurance after scandal
The Coldplay 'kiss cam' controversy has been one of the biggest talking points of the last week and now Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has had his say.
He told the crowd during Oasis' last Manchester gig of their reunion tour "any lovebirds" wanting to avoid the big screen had nothing to worry about.
'Don't worry, we ain't got any of that Coldplay, snidey f****** camera s***. It doesn't matter to us who you're f****** mingling with, or tingling with or fingering with. None of our f****** business," he said in true Liam Gallagher fashion.
The scandal involving Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and a female colleague eventually led to his resignation. Footage of Byron and his company's Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot went global when they awkwardly jumped out of each other's arms as they flashed up on a 'kiss cam' during a Coldplay show in Boston.
Australia among 28 countries condemning Israeli attacks
Australia is among 28 countries that have issued a joint statement calling for an immediate end to the war in Gaza.
The statement condemned the "drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food".
It called on Israel to comply with international humanitarian law and condemned the "horrifying" deaths of over 800 Palestinians seeking aid.
Israel has rejected the statement, saying it was 'disconnected from reality and sends the wrong message to Hamas.'

At least 20 dead as jet crashes into school
A Bangladesh Air Force training aircraft crashed into a school in Dhaka, the capital, shortly after takeoff on Monday afternoon (local time), catching fire and killing the pilot and at least 19 other people, most of whom were students, officials said.
Another 171 students were rescued with injuries from a smoldering two-story building, officials said, including many with burns who were whisked away in helicopters, motorized rickshaws and the arms of firefighters and parents.
The Chinese-made F-7 BGI training aircraft experienced a 'technical malfunction' moments after takeoff at 1.06pm, and the pilot attempted to divert the plane to a less populated area before crashing into the campus of Milestone School and College, according to a statement from the military.
Students said the school's buildings trembled violently, followed by a big explosion that sent them running for safety. A desperate scene soon unfolded at the crash site, as panicked relatives searched for loved ones. Screams filled the air at a nearby hospital.

VIDEO: Lionel Messi gets the jumbotron treatment! Coldplay frontman Chris Martin labels 'Leo' the GOAT as Argentina superstar avoids drama with wife Antonela Roccuzzo at Miami concert

Argentine superstar enjoyed family night out Smiled and waved when cameras turned his way Questions being asked of Inter Miami future Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? Supposed couples featuring on the big screen at Coldplay gigs have generated plenty of headlines over recent weeks, but the Messis were happy to smile and wave when the cameras turned in their direction - rather than diving for cover. WATCH THE CLIP THE BIGGER PICTURE Eight-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi has been reunited with his partner after seeing her take in a summer trip to Italy that allowed time to be spent in the company of fellow former Barcelona WAGs. Messi and Antonela enjoyed an evening out with their three sons as they took in the live Coldplay experience at Hard Rock Stadium in Florida - with the Argentine GOAT playing his club football in the Sunshine State for MLS side Inter Miami. WHAT CHRIS MARTIN SAID Coldplay frontman Chris Martin referred to Messi, when serenading him with an impromptu song, as the 'number one sports person of all-time'. Many would agree with that assessment, given all that the World Cup winner has achieved. WHAT NEXT FOR MESSI? Questions continue to be asked of how much longer Messi will be in Miami. An extension option in his contract, which would take him through the 2026 World Cup, is yet to be triggered - leading to reports of interest in the Argentine being shown from elsewhere.

Gwyneth Paltrow is Astronomer's ‘temporary spokesperson' in new video

There's a lot of buzz around Astronomer, the data infrastructure company that skyrocketed into public attention after its executives - now former executives - gave us the viral Coldplay 'kiss cam' moment. With all this recent popularity, the business brought on some extra help, hiring a 'temporary spokesperson' with experience in Coldplay internet fame: Gwyneth Paltrow. Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post. 'I've been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300+ employees at Astronomer,' the actress said in the minute-long video posted to social media Friday. 'Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones.' The Goop chief executive happens to be the ex-wife of Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin and co-author of the original 'break-the-internet' breakup statement when the pair announced their 'conscious uncoupling' in 2014. If you're searching for answers to the company's real frequently-asked questions, you won't find them in the tongue-in-cheek clip. The questions 'OMG! What the actual f' and 'How is your social media team holding' get comically cut off by Paltrow as she explained the much less juicy details of Astronomer's business. 'We've been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation,' Paltrow said. Astronomer's chief executive Andy Byron and human resources chief Kristin Cabot both resigned after they were filmed cuddling at a Coldplay concert in Boston earlier this month. They appeared on the arena video board in a 'kiss cam' segment before looking uncomfortable, with Cabot turning around and Byron ducking out of sight as Martin quipped from the stage that the two might be having an affair. Mark Borkowski, a British public relations and crisis consultant, described using Paltrow to front a video parodying the incident as 'utter genius' that shows the company has a sense of humor. 'It's a savvy use of media to create a viral moment,' he told The Washington Post in a phone interview Saturday. 'In a way you're laughing with everybody else.' Astronomer choosing Paltrow will not go unnoticed, Borkowski said. 'Astronomer is a meme now. Owning the ridiculous nature of how it became a meme is far better than apologizing for it.' A representative for Paltrow didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. As for how he advises clients caught in such situations, Borkowski said acting in a dignified way and 'using as few words as possible' is always the best approach. Paltrow's cameo is reminiscent of the scared Peloton wife discourse from 2019. After actress Monica Ruiz's worry-stricken expression in a Peloton holiday commercial became the butt of internet jokes, she laughed it off, later using her horrified face for an Aviation Gin ad. 'We will now be returning to what we do best: delivering game-changing results for our customers,' Paltrow closed out the ad. 'Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.' - - - Tatum Hunter contributed to this report. Related Content Hulk Hogan was a well-known Trump supporter. Their ties go back 40 years.

Coldplay Fan Addresses Posting Jumbotron Video of Astronomer Executives: ‘Play Stupid Games'

The Coldplay concertgoer who shared footage of Astronomer executives Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot on social media has no regrets about posting the now-viral moment online. 'I had no idea who the couple was. Just thought I caught an interesting reaction to the kiss cam and decided to post it,' a woman identified as Grace told The Sun on Friday, July 18. 'A part of me feels bad for turning these people's lives upside down, but, play stupid games … win stupid prizes.' After quoting Taylor Swift's 'Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince,' Grace added: 'I hope their partners can heal from this and get a second chance at the happiness they deserve with their future still in front of them. I hope, for them, my video was a blessing in disguise.' Grace and a handful of her friends attended Coldplay's Wednesday, July 16, concert in Boston. She filmed the band's 'Kiss Cam' segment, where a camera highlighted loved-up couples in the crowd, and shared it on social media. Stars React After Coldplay Jumbotron Seemingly Exposes Affair Between Astronomer Executives In Grace's clip, Byron and Cabot were spotted cuddling from their seats before they noticed all eyes were on them. In response, Byron swiftly ducked out of frame while Cabot turned around and buried her face in her hands. 'Whoa, look at these two. Alright, come on. You're OK,' Coldplay frontman Chris Martin quipped. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy. I'm not quite sure what to do. Holy s***. I hope we didn't do something bad.' Neither Byron nor Cabot, who are reported to be married to other people, has addressed their relationship status. Us Weekly reached out for comment. As for Grace, she told The Sun that there was 'a lot of talk' about Byron and Cabot's identities inside Gillette Stadium. 'It was definitely a hot topic, but no one knew who they were,' Grace said. 'When I posted [my video] late last night before bed, it was picking up traction with a couple thousand views. I woke up to seven million. Now over 30 million. Overwhelmed to say the least.' Who Is Andy Byron? 5 Things to Know About Married CEO Caught on Kiss Cam at Coldplay Concert Byron and Cabot have worked together since 2024, when she joined Astronomer as its Chief People Officer. 'At Astronomer, our people are the most valuable asset in helping our customers do more to gain a competitive advantage with their data,' Byron, the CEO of the tech company, said in a November 2024 press release. '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. 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.' Solve the daily Crossword
