Coldplay kiss cam scandal executive Kristin Cabot says lead singer Chris Martin didn't contact her: 'No. never done'

A corporate executive who went viral after the Coldplay “kiss cam” moment says she is now done with the band, and claims frontman Chris Martin never reached out to her after the incident.Kristin Cabot told TMZ that she has no interest in attending another Coldplay concert and that she would have appreciated some kind of contact from the singer after the episode that made him an Internet sensation.Asked by reporter Colin Drummond whether she would have welcomed the check-in, Cabot said, “It would have been great.”“No. Never did!” When asked whether Martin had contacted her, she said this.The 53-year-old also made it clear that her relationship with the band has ended. “No, I am all set,” she said.Cabot was seen at a Coldplay concert last year, hugging his boss, Andy Byrne, then chief executive of tech company Astronomer. The moment was captured on stadium kiss camera and quickly went viral as the pair broke away and hid their faces when they realized they were on screen.Cabot has since pushed back on that narrative. In a recent interview with Oprah, she said that both she and Byron were separated from their spouses at the time and suggested that the situation had been misinterpreted. She also said that her husband was present at the concert.“At the end of the day, it would have been better if I had met him,” she said. He said that this experience had a serious impact on his personal life.“For me and my family, what happened was not OK,” Cabot said. “And I felt like by staying silent, I was somehow accepting what had happened.”In an earlier interview with The New York Times, she had described feeling “very embarrassed and frightened”.Despite the backlash, Cabot has continued to speak publicly about the incident. She recently appeared at the PRWeek Crisis Comes Conference in Washington, DC, where she gave a speech titled “Kristin Cabot: Taking Back the Narrative.”Her former boss Andy Byrne has remained out of public view and has not commented since the viral moment.Cabot has also criticized a separate Astronaut advertisement featuring Hollywood celebrities Gwyneth Paltrow and Ryan Reynolds, which referenced the incident in a humorous manner. She told Oprah that she was unhappy with the campaign.

The rituals and ceremonies followed in a temple will either be unique or at least specific to temples that fall in the same category.

SAW vs INDW, 1st T20I: India women faltered against South Africa, poor performance affects World Cup preparations

India women had chances but failed to convert them and lost by six wickets in the T20I series opener against South Africa at Kingsmead in Durban on Friday, April 17. Poor fielding and ineffective batting in the death overs cost India the match, as their T20 World Cup preparations got off to a disappointing start.

After being asked to bat first, Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana’s partnership of 46 runs in five overs set a strong platform for India in the powerplay. After being dropped by Sune Luus, Shafali held on to her luck and played a quickfire inning of 34 runs off 20 balls. She was aggressive in the partnership, while Mandhana hit sixes but struggled for flow and scored 13 runs before being dismissed by Ayobonga Khaka.

South Africa vs India, 1st Women’s T20I Update | Achievement:

India’s batting faltered

However, once Tumi Sekhukhune got rid of Shafali, India lost a lot of momentum. Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues then took the innings forward with a cautious start before changing gears. Both of them added 39 runs in three overs between the 11th and 13th overs, due to which India came back on track for some time, but after that the direction of the innings went astray.

Harmanpreet and Jemimah were well set and with eight wickets in hand, India were heading towards a total near 180. Instead, they could only manage 157 runs for 7 wickets, losing five wickets for just 39 runs in the last six overs.

Sekhukhune broke the 71-run partnership by dismissing Jemima for 36 runs in 29 balls. From there, Harmanpreet remained unbeaten but missed the half-century despite batting for 14 overs. He scored 47 runs in 33 balls, which included five fours and a six.

For the Proteas, Khaka was the standout bowler, finishing with impressive figures of 4-0-16-2.

Wolvaardt stabilizes South Africa’s chase

India got off to a strong start when Shreyanka Patil dismissed Sune Luus on a stump-breaking spin ball. Tazmin Britts struggled to get going, scoring 10 runs from 13 balls before Sri Charani dismissed her, but not before she was part of a useful 48-run partnership with captain Laura Wolvaardt, who looked in complete control.

Wolvaardt brought up his half-century off 36 balls and, along with Anne Dirksen, ensured that South Africa reduced the target to 44 runs off 42 balls, almost a ball less than the field. The pair added 52 runs for the third wicket and firmly handed over the command of chasing the target to the Proteas.

Dropping the catch is the price for India

Just when it seemed the game was slipping away from India, Shreyanka once again stepped up and removed the dangerous Wolvaardt, who scored 51 off 39 balls. From there, India managed to hold on and take the contest forward, but poor fielding proved costly in the end.

In the 18th over, Renuka Singh dropped a direct catch at short third man, due to which Shreyanka could not get the third wicket. Dirksen took advantage of the relief and remained unbeaten on 44 off 34 balls. Anushka Sharma also dropped Chloe Tryon in the deep in the last over.

It was Trianon who ultimately paid off India. When six runs were needed off the last ball, she sealed South Africa’s victory by hitting a six off Deepti Sharma at cow corner.

India will have to go back to the drawing board to face the Proteas again at the same venue in Durban on Sunday, April 19.

Why didn’t Erica Kirk attend JD Vance’s Turning Point USA event? Source says it was more than just ‘security concerns’

Why didn't Erica Kirk attend JD Vance's Turning Point USA event? Source says it was more than just 'security concerns'

Questions are rising over why Erica Kirk pulled out of a high-profile Turning Point USA event where she was to appear with US Vice President JD Vance, with sources cited by the Daily Mail revealing that the decision was due to more than just security concerns.The 37-year-old widow was scheduled to interview Vance at an event organized by her late husband’s conservative group at the University of Georgia on Tuesday. However, she failed to attend, with organizers citing “serious threats” to her safety.Insiders said the explanation tells only part of the story. Erica Kirk is struggling with increased public scrutiny and online criticism in the months following the murder of her husband Charlie Kirk last year, according to a close confidant.The source said, “She knows how she’s coming across. She’s not stupid… She’s seen the comments online. She gets it. It hurts.”The reaction intensified after a recent viral video by comedian Drusky mocked Kirk’s public appearances after her husband’s murder, using exaggerated expressions, makeup, and fake tears.The insider said, “The Drusky video showed her what people think about her. She’s really hurt that people feel that way about her, that they’re making fun of her.”He said that his decision to withdraw from the program was influenced by several factors. “She withdrew from the TPUSA program for a variety of reasons, I don’t think it was just safety concerns,” the source said.“If there were security concerns, the vice president would not have gone.”There were also rumors that low ticket sales may have been the reason, a claim made by commentator Candace Owens. However, the insider said that was not the only reason.“It wasn’t even just ticket sales. It was a mental exhaustion like, ‘Nothing I do will be right, people will make fun,’ so she canceled,” he said.Erica has remained in the public eye since the death of her husband, who was killed by a sniper during an event at Utah Valley University in September. Soon after, he gained attention for publicly forgiving his alleged attacker.Some praised her resilience, but others questioned whether her public appearances felt too soon or were performative given that her husband had died just days earlier. .“She says her face was courageous and that’s why she was doing what she was doing,” the insider said.“I believe it was the evil eye. Everyone told him it was the evil eye, but he did it anyway.”“I know she’s mourning Charlie, we’re all mourning, but she has a weird way of showing it.”“Do I think she’s grieving enough? It’s not my job to say.”“But do I think she’s being treated badly? Yes.”“It’s very obvious and she’s finally starting to see how weird it all sounds. This is a good thing.”Her relationship with Vance has drawn attention before. At an event in October, a month after her husband’s death, the two embraced on stage for a long time as she told the audience: “No one can replace my husband, but I see some similarities to my husband in Vice President J.D. Vance.” The moment went viral and sparked debate online.

After 20 years, toxic waste to go from Concolim Ind’L estate, CM says. goa news

After 20 years, toxic waste to go from Concolim Ind'L estate, says CM

Margao: CM Pramod Sawant on Friday said the lifting of hazardous waste lying at Cuncolim Industrial Estate for the last two decades will begin from May 1, adding Rs 13 crore will be spent on the exercise.More than 50,000 metric tonnes of hazardous waste at Cuncolim Estate is legacy material of Sunrise Zinc Limited, which ceased operations in 2007 following High Court directions. Despite provisions being made in the budget for 2025-26, the waste disposal plan was awaiting state approval.“This is a legacy waste that I am cleaning, just as I did with the legacy municipal solid waste in Sonsoddo in Margao,” Sawant said at a public meeting in Cuncolim after inaugurating and laying the foundation stone of several development projects in the constituency.Opposition leader and Cuncolim MLA Yuri Alemao was also present on the occasion.The CM said that no red category industry will be allowed to be set up in Cuncolim Industrial Estate. Referring to the waste management infrastructure established during his seven-year tenure – which includes biomedical, chemical and municipal solid waste – he said his government is committed to maintaining the beauty of Goa. He said, “Goa is a globally recognized tourist destination. If we want to maintain its beauty, government efforts alone will not suffice; every Goan has to ensure that his actions do not harm the environment.”Sawant urged residents to stop throwing plastic bags filled with wet waste in the open. “Keep the wet waste under a tree – it will turn into compost. Hand over the dry waste to the waste collectors of your panchayat or municipality,” he said. The CM also asked people not to pack fish waste in plastic bags and throw it in the open. “You can rid yourself of the stench, but it is an unpleasant sight for passersby. If we don’t correct ourselves now, we won’t be able to preserve the beauty of Goa for future generations,” he said.Sawant laid the foundation stone of a 15-bed urban primary health center at Cuncolim, which he said would be completed within one and a half years and would be equipped with all necessary facilities. He also laid the foundation stone for the renovation of the Chieftains Memorial Park and construction of Panchayat houses for Guirdolim and Paroda and underground cabling works at Chandor and Guirdolim. A futsal field in Madicoto and a wellness center in Cuncolim Municipality were inaugurated on the occasion.
