Viral

The "Hawk Tuah" phenomenon seemed inescapable across the country last year ... and now we know it was even penetrating the water as well, thanks to a vessel currently for sale christened with the viral TikTok phrase.

Rob Worth, 52, a software developer in Alpena, Michigan, tells TMZ ... he's listed his 1996 Tempest 152 -- dubbed "Hawk Tuah" -- for $4,200.

The boat has been on sale for about two weeks ... and RW tells us he has been entertaining offers -- but so far, they have been lowballing him.

6:03 PM PT -- Astronomer posted to their X account that an interim CEO has been assigned amid Andy Byron's leave.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron’s viral canoodling is crashing harder than a bad launch -- he and HR head Kristin Cabot have reportedly been suspended!

Yup, that’s right -- after their alleged affair got exposed with a very cozy concert hug at Coldplay this week, the duo’s now benched at home while a formal investigation into their relationship kicks off, according to Axios.

Of course, it goes without saying -- this is extra scandalous since Kristin’s the HEAD OF HR … you know, the one who’s supposed to know all the dos and don’ts of workplace romances.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company's HR head Kristin Cabot are in hot water after they were caught cuddling at Coldplay's concert earlier this week ... because the company's launching an investigation into their relationship.

The company announced the investigation Friday morning ... telling its followers, and more importantly its investors, Astronomer is looking into the matter and "will have additional details to share very shortly."

Astronomer also used the opportunity to clear the air ... announcing a woman identified as a VP in the human resources department was not at the concert, despite reports ... and Byron has not actually released a statement yet.

The couple supposedly caught cheating at a recent Coldplay concert are inspiring a lot of people in their alone time ... 'cause "cheating" porn interest is blowing up on Pornhub.

We've got some internal data from the good people at one of the country's premier porn sites ... and, they tell us they're seeing a massive spike in searches for the keywords "cheating" and "affair."

Check out this graph ... search traffic grew as erect as the people looking up the videos -- up more than 19% from the previous day. Worth noting ... interest sat at around just 2% for much of the weeks leading up to the Coldplay catastrophe -- but, it's really exploded all over the site in recent days.

A raging quarter-ton water buffalo in Vietnam busted loose from its pen this week -- and plowed straight into a woman on a motorbike ... all caught on camera!

Check out this hair-raising dashcam footage -- the beast locked onto the scooter-rider in Thanh Hóa, then charged full throttle, lowering its massive head and slamming her and her scooter clear off the road!

As you can see, the rider skids across the street while the buffalo stays on the attack -- trampling her and tossing her around with its huge horns.

Alex Cora had himself an All-Star break he'll remember for the foreseeable future ... 'cause the Red Sox manager was in attendance for the Coldplay concert on Wednesday in Boston -- the same show where an alleged affair was put on display for the world to see!

Cora met with media members on Friday just ahead of his team's series opener against the Chicago Cubs, and he was asked how he enjoyed his past few off days.

He cracked a wry smile and said, "It was good," before he revealed, "I was actually in the Wednesday [Coldplay] concert."

An anti-Israel protester was beaten down on the track at the Tour de France after a staff member came out of nowhere and flipped the dude over a barricade.

The wild moment went down close to the finish line earlier this week ... while Norway cyclist Jonas Abrahamsen just barely beat out Mauro Schmid of Switzerland for the victory.

The protester was wearing a shirt which read, "Israel out of the Tour" -- an Israeli team is competing in the race and catching a ton of flak for it.

Coldplay’s Chris Martin might’ve sung about 'Fixing' love, but it looks like he's given up on trusting it -- 'cause he cheekily grilled another couple on whether they were the real deal ... right after busting an alleged affair at a Boston concert this week.

Catch the hilarious clip -- Chris went full detective mode, interrogating the next couple about their relationship status after the kiss-cam locked onto them ... and the moment got even funnier when it looked like the pair either didn’t hear him or just had no clue what was happening!

The couple was seen giggling and awkwardly nodding, with Chris even throwing in some Spanish just in case. But it turns out, they are a real couple -- just looked like they were a bit flustered by all the eyes on them!

New twist in the viral Coldplay concert scandal -- the company behind the CEO busted in an alleged affair says a supposed statement from Andy Byron that's gone viral is totally fake.

Byron’s company, Astronomer tells TMZ the statement floating around on social media -- purportedly written by Andy himself to address the alleged affair -- is “not a real statement.”

The faux statement was posted late Thursday after the now-infamous video went viral, showing CEO Andy hugging Astronomer's HR chief Kristin Cabot during Wednesday night's Coldplay concert in Boston.

The alleged couple ended up on the big screen, and both of them immediately tried to hide when they realized they were on full display.

It sure seems like everyone is talking about the viral Coldplay concert moment when the kiss-cam seemingly exposed a CEO's alleged affair with his staffer -- and now fans can rock hilarious merch ... thanks to Etsy.

The popular online marketplace was flooded with items shortly after Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was allegedly caught canoodling on camera with his human resources chief, Kristin Cabot, at Coldplay's Boston concert Wednesday night.

Spreading through social media like the "Speed of Sound" ... their horrified reaction made national headlines -- so of course, it was just a matter of time before someone cashed in on the moment.

The Coldplay fan behind the viral kiss cam moment that seemingly exposed a CEO's alleged affair with his staffer is defending posting the video with a blunt lesson -- "Play stupid games ... win stupid prizes!"

New Jersey resident Grace Springer is speaking out about her wild video -- which has amassed more than 30 million views -- telling The Sun she never expected her footage to become so popular but hopes it can be a learning moment for those involved.

She explains ... "A part of me feels bad for turning these people’s lives upside down, but, play stupid games… win stupid prizes."

Don't worry people ... Leatherface is not on the loose, but a creepy teddy bear that appeared to be stitched with human skin, was found outside a California convenience store in what's being dubbed a sick prank!

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department rushed to a Victorville gas station Sunday -- about 2 hours north of L.A. -- after someone reported possible human remains ... cue the chaos. Cops taped off the lot, and a coroner investigator even showed up to inspect the item ... a teddy bear.

Turns out, despite the full-blown police probe, the bear’s not stitched from epidermis -- it’s made of latex, and selling on Etsy for $165 ... and the artist, Robert Kelly of Dark Seed Creations, is proudly owning his gory masterpiece.
