\n\tIn a surprising turn of events, Gwyneth Paltrow has become a \u201ctemporary spokesperson\u201d for Astronomer in the wake of the viral Coldplay kiss-cam moment involving the company\u2019s former CEO and chief people officer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tOn Friday night, the company shared a surprise parody video with the Shakespeare in Love<\/em> actress where she joked that she was \u201chired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cAstronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones,\u201d Paltrow said as text on-screen began typing out the question, \u201cOMG! What the actual f\u2014,\u201d before a split cut panned to the Oscar winner as she answered a completely opposite question.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cYes, Astronomer is the best place to run Apace Airflow,\u201d she answered. \u201cWe\u2019ve been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data automation.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tShe continued, \u201cAs for the other questions we\u2019ve received,\u201d as on-screen text typed out the question, \u201cHow is your social media team holding\u2014\u201d before Paltrow popped back into the frame to respond to another separate question.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tInterest in Astronomer has spiked in the past week after the company\u2019s CEO, Andy Byron, and chief people officer, Kristin Cabot, were displayed on the big-screen during Coldplay\u2019s Boston July 16 concert stop. When they realized they were on camera for the kiss-cam segment, they both scattered out of frame, which led the band\u2019s frontman Chris Martin to quip, \u201cEither they\u2019re having an affair, or they\u2019re just very shy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tIt\u2019s no coincidence that Paltrow was tapped as a \u201ctemporary spokesperson\u201d for Astronomer, as Martin is her ex-husband. In the wake of the viral moment, Bryon and Cabot both resigned from their roles. <\/p>\n \n\tAs the scandal has continued to draw attention toward Astronomer, the controversy also led to a surge in Coldplay\u2019s streams.\u00a0According to data from Luminate sourced by\u00a0Billboard<\/em>, the seven-time Grammy award-winning group\u2019s on-demand audio streams were up by 25 percent on Thursday. In the preceding five days before the Boston concert, Coldplay had 28.7 million streams<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a surprising turn of events, Gwyneth Paltrow has become a \u201ctemporary spokesperson\u201d for Astronomer in the wake of the viral Coldplay kiss-cam moment involving the company\u2019s former CEO and chief people officer.\u00a0 On Friday night, the company shared a surprise parody video with the Shakespeare in Love actress where she joked that she was<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12337,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[5902,5334,5900,5910,5901,2963,94],"class_list":{"0":"post-12336","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-astronomer","9":"tag-coldplay","10":"tag-gwyneth","11":"tag-jokes","12":"tag-paltrow","13":"tag-scandal","14":"tag-video"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12336\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/12337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
