Pedro Pascal Talks Relationships, Daddy Status
In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Pedro Pascal is opening up about relationships and his heartthrob status. The 50-year-old has never publicly been confirmed to be in a relationship with someone. He told the publication, "I always feel perplexed when I'm identified in whatever form of media as a 'highly private person,' because that's the opposite of me." 'I'm very unprivate in my private life. I just know that personal relationships are such a complex thing to navigate even without having this enormous lens on them," he continued. As for children, the actor said that he isn't super interested in having them, but said, 'I've had dreams of taking my kids to the movies the way my parents took me. So I guess I want a shortcut to an interesting human being who is my child who will go see something that I want to see.' Of course, many people are thirsting for Pedro regardless. At the Critics' Choice Awards, Chelsea Handler joked that 2023 was "the year everyone became horny for Pedro Pascal." Now, Pedro said that he was there after dislocating his shoulder, recalling, 'I was in a sling, I was overweight, and when the camera cut to me, I didn't think anything could be further from the truth.' Shortly after, Pedro began working on Materialists while his shoulder was still injured. 'It was the oldest I'd ever felt in life,' he said. 'It was the weakest I'd ever felt. It was such a scary, fraudulent thing to feel like I could play somebody who was the catch of Manhattan.' When the interviewer noted that he is still handsome in the movie, Pedro responded, "You think I'm hot in it? Thank God!' As for the "daddy" label, one person who wasn't thrilled was Pedro's The Last of Us co-star, Bella Ramsey. They told the publication, "I felt worried for him. I want to protect him from that whole joke of becoming the internet's daddy. I was like, 'I don't want everyone to refer to you as that and see you as that. You're so much more.'" Anyway, the whole interview is absolutely beautiful, so make sure to check it out here.

F1 movie first reviews: Brad Pitt is officially back on the race track, and critics are all hearts for it.

The film, which stars Brad Pitt and Damson Idris as rival F1 drivers, appears to have struck the perfect balance between high-octane action and old-school movie star charm, even if its story leans a little cliché. That hasn't stopped critics from hailing F1 as one of the most electrifying and visually stunning sports dramas in years. Brad Pitt is a true movie star: Critics share rave reviews of F1 Scott Menzel, a long-time film and TV journalist, showered the film with high praise, writing on X (formerly Twitter), 'F1 is a damn good sports movie.

Joseph Kosinski directs the hell out of this thing with some of the most impressive racing scenes I've ever seen on the big screen. I had my doubts about this one, but F1 is definitely a winner.'

Justin Baldoni's Lawyer Says Blake Lively Shouldn't Celebrate Yet
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Justin Baldoni's lawyer said Blake Lively should hold off on celebrating after a judge dismissed the actor's $400 million defamation lawsuit against her. "Let us be clear about the latest ruling. While the court dismissed the defamation related claims, the court has invited us to amend four out of the seven claims against Ms. Lively, which will showcase additional evidence and refined allegations," Bryan Freedman said in a statement to TMZ. Newsweek reached out to Lively's lawyer outside of regular working hours via email for comment. The Context Baldoni, 41, and Lively, 37, co-starred in the 2024 film It Ends With Us. In December, Lively filed a complaint against Baldoni with the California Civil Rights Department, accusing him of sexual harassment on set. Baldoni—who also directed the movie—and production company Wayfarer Studios responded in a now-dismissed $400 million lawsuit against her, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist Leslie Sloane, citing defamation, extortion and more. Baldoni also sued The New York Times for $250 million, accusing the newspaper of defamation after it published what he believed was a biased narrative by Lively. On Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Liman dismissed both the $400 million lawsuit and the $250 million lawsuit, as Lively's sexual harassment accusations were legally protected. The judge noted, however, that Baldoni's legal team could amend the breach of implied covenant and tortious interference claims.

L: Justin Baldoni attends the Critics' Choice Awards on January 17, 2016. R: Blake Lively at an event in New York City on June 9, Porsche; Dimitrios Kambouris/WireImage What To Know On Tuesday, Freedman made it clear that Baldoni and Lively's legal battle isn't over. "Ms. Lively and her team's predictable declaration of victory is false," Freedman said. "This case is about false accusations of sexual harassment and retaliation and a nonexistent smear campaign, which Ms. Lively's own team conveniently describes as 'untraceable' because they cannot prove what never happened," he told TMZ. "Most importantly, Ms. Lively's own claims are no truer today than they were yesterday, and with the facts on our side, we march forward with the same confidence that we had when Ms. Lively and her cohorts initiated this battle and look forward to her forthcoming deposition, which I will be taking." On Monday, Lively posted a statement to her Instagram Stories following the judge's ruling. "Like so many others, I've felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us. While the suit against me was defeated, so many don't have the resources to fight back," she shared with her 43.4 million followers. "I'm more resolved than ever to continue to stand for every woman's right to have a voice in protecting themselves, including their safety, their integrity, their dignity and their story." That same day, the Gossip Girl alum was all smiles at the Chanel Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner, while Reynolds appeared to be in good spirits, too. The Deadpool star, 48, smiled in an Instagram Stories photo posted to his account following the motion, People reported. What People Are Saying Blake Lively's lawyers, Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, in a statement after the judge's dismissal: "Today's opinion is a total victory and a complete vindication for Blake Lively, along with those that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit, including Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane and The New York Times. As we have said from day one, this '$400 million' lawsuit was a sham, and the court saw right through it. "We look forward to the next round, which is seeking attorneys' fees, treble damages and punitive damages against Baldoni, Sarowitz, Nathan, and the other Wayfarer Parties who perpetrated this abusive litigation." Sigrid McCawley, an attorney representing Leslie Sloane, in a statement: "Leslie Sloane has consistently said that she never defamed Baldoni or the Wayfarer Parties and she was wrongfully dragged into this lawsuit because the Wayfarer Parties wanted to actively harm Sloane's reputation. Today's decision by the court makes clear that Sloane did nothing wrong. Sloane stands fully vindicated, and justice has been served." The New York Times spokesperson Charlie Stadtlander said: "We are grateful to the court for seeing the lawsuit for what it was: a meritless attempt to stifle honest reporting. Our journalists went out and covered carefully and fairly a story of public importance, and the court recognized that the law is designed to protect just that sort of journalism." What Happens Next Baldoni's legal team has until June 23 to refile their amended claims.
