SCAR-JO SPEAKS OUT
Actress Scarlett Johansson is opening up to Variety about her legal battle against Disney. The actress filed a lawsuit against the entertainment giant back in 2021 over the decision to release Black Widow in theaters and streaming at the same time, a move she says hurt the film's box office potential, costing her millions in expected income. She said Disney's response to the suit left her "sad and disappointed, but mostly sad," but she added that strangers' kindness helped get her through it. The suit was settled with details not disclosed, and there seems to be no bad blood, as she's set to star in the Tower of Terror reboot. She even revealed that she visits Disney World at least 10 times a year.

De Niro did not reveal who the child's mother is or the sex of the baby. When asked about his parenting style, he said "I don't think I'm a cool dad,' adding that he believes in being loving towards his kids, even if he has to be stern.
