Entertainment Store is making news on March 18th. Kristen Cavett is still filling the sting from that viral KISS cam moment at a cold play concert last July. She was caught on camera locking lifts with her then-married boss, astronomer CEO Andy Byron, and the clip racked up 300 billion views. Eight months later, she opened up to Oprah Winfrey about how the unwanted spotlight wrecked her life as head of HR at the tech firm. Nine days after the scandal broke, Gwyneth Paltrow starred in a playful ad for astronomer posing as their temporary spokesperson. Ryan Reynolds produced the spot, which the company shared on social media. Cavett lost her job soon after her affair when public, and she did not appreciate the timing or tone of the video. In the interview, Cavett called out Paltrow for piling on, saying it felt hypocritical from someone whose group brand promotes women's well-being. She also questioned Reynolds, noting his wife Blake Liveley's recent harassment claims against the film colleague. The backlash has left Cavett bitter about the whole ordeal.

Oprah shared that Paltrow had called ahead, claiming she only joined the ad because Cavett and Byron had approved it. Paltrow said she would not have participated otherwise and even email Cavett directly, but got no reply. Cavett acknowledged the message, but stayed silent on it during an awkward pause. These days, Cavett admits Cole play is ruined for her, and she's no longer a fan. Reps for Paltrow and Reynolds have not commented on her Oprah appearance.
