GWYNETH Paltrow was yesterday hired by crisis-hit firm Astronomer following the fall-out from the “affair saga” at her ex’s Chris Martin’s Coldplay gig.
The A-lister actress turned influencer took questions on the scandal in a PR move described by fans as “genius”.

Astronomer’s chief executive Andy Byron was caught canoodling with his head of human resources Kristin Cabot at a gig – causing a social media frenzy because of their embarrassed response to appearing on the big screen.
Chris Martin – Paltrow’s ex-husband and father to her two children – called the couple out at the time for “having an affair” because of their fraught reaction.
Humiliated Byron and Cabot quit their jobs at the tech company as a result of the scandal.
Now, Paltrow has made a cameo on Astronomer’s LinkedIn page, starring as a “temporary spokesperson”.
The Shakespeare In Love star, wearing a blue shirt with corporate music playing in the background, said: “Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.
“Hi, I’m Gwyneth Paltrow.
“I’ve been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300 plus employees at Astronomer.
“Astronomer has got a lot of questions in the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones.”
An on-screen question starting “what the actual f***” was abruptly cut off just as Paltrow reappeared on screen.
She said: “Yes! Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow.”
She then quipped: “We’ve been thrilled to see so many people suddenly interested in data workflow automation.”
Another question began, “How is your social media team holding…” before The Talented Mr. Ripley star, with a twinkle in her eye, went on: “Yes! There is still space available at our Beyond Analytics event this September!”
The celeb’s on-screen cameo went down a storm with fans.
Kristin Cabot was seen for the first time since the kiss cam scandal that led to her resignation last Thursday.
The software company confirmed the married 52-year-old stepped down from her role, just over a week after she was caught with the company’s boss at Boston’s Gillette Stadium.
The status of her marriage remains unknown.
Her husband, Andrew Cabot, 60, an heir to the £11billion Cabot family fortune, nowhere to be seen at their home.
