Astronomers have received many questions in recent days and they want me to answer the most common ones, says the Hollywood star in a short video from the company.

Paltrow, who was married to Coldplay singer Chris Martin for 13 years, has in the video – which should probably be seen as a humorous PR stunt to move on from the scandal – the title "temporary spokesperson).

The now former CEO Andy Byron and the then HR manager Kristin Cabot were caught in an intimate moment on a so-called kiss camera in the audience during a Coldplay concert in Boston recently. Obviously embarrassed, they saw themselves on the big screen while Chris Martin exclaimed: "Either they are having an affair, or they are just very shy".

We are very happy that so many have gained a newfound interest in automation of data flows, says a smiling Gwyneth Paltrow in the video.

We are now returning to what we do best – delivering groundbreaking results for our customers.
