Emma Stone 'really wanted to work with Ari Aster'
Emma Stone "really wanted to work" with Eddington director Ari Aster. The 36-year-old actress stars alongside the likes of Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, and Austin Butler in the new comedy-drama film - but Emma admits that Ari really attracted her to the project. Asked what drew her to the movie, Emma told Extra: "Honestly, I loved the script, but the biggest draw for me was Ari." Emma is a long-time fan of the filmmaker, who previously helmed movies such as Hereditary and Midsommar. And the award-winning actress jumped at the opportunity to work with Ari. She shared: "I love Ari's other films. "I like him so much as a person and had gotten to know him for years before this, and so when he asked me if I wanted to be a part of it, I just said yes because I really, really wanted to work with Ari." Emma would actually love to work with Ari, 38, on another movie. Asked about the prospect of reuniting with him for another film, the actress replied: "I would love to, if he'll have me." Emma also relished the experience of working with the film's star-studded cast. However, she never actually got to shoot any scenes with Pedro Pascal. She explained: "I didn't get to work with him. You'll see in the movie, we don't get to intersect, but I've gotten to hang out with him outside of it, so it feels like it all evened out." Despite this, Emma can't wait to see her co-star in the new Fantastic Four movie. She said: "Of course I'm gonna see Fantastic Four. That trailer? With the song Fantastic Four where they're singing it? I mean, Pedro's enough for me, but then we got that great song? I'm in." Emma is one of the best-known actresses in Hollywood, but she previously confessed to suffering from crippling anxiety during her younger years. She told Rolling Stone magazine: "My brain [was] naturally zooming 30 steps ahead to the worst-case scenario. "My anxiety was constant. I would ask my mom a hundred times how the day would lay out. What time she was going to drop me off? Where was she going to be? What would happen at lunch? Feeling nauseous. At a certain point, I couldn't go to friends' houses anymore – I could barely get out the door to school." Emma's parents eventually encouraged her to see a therapist, and that proved to be a turning point for the movie star. She said: "I drew a little green monster on my shoulder that speaks to me in my ear and tells me all these things that aren't true. And every time I listen to it, it grows bigger. If I listen to it enough, it crushes me. But if I turn my head and keep doing what I'm doing it shrinks and fades away."

As Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos walk down the aisle in Venice, they have a big secret
Want to congratulate Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez on their nuptials? You're a little late. In the midst of all the fanfare going on in Venice, Italy, we hear that the high wattage couple is already married and have been for a hot minute. Page Six reports that the Amazon founder, 61, and former 'Extra' anchor, 55, were legally wed in the United States. They did not apply for a license in the so-called Floating City, Italian sources told the outlet. Another source told The Daily Mail they've been married for 'at least a month.' As per the Miami Dade County clerk, they didn't do the deed in Bezos' hometown, but may have swapped vows somewhere else in Florida under the radar. Sources told Page Six that a mega prenuptial agreement was also signed. Experts say that it was likely extremely complex and one of the reasons why it took so long for these two to walk down the aisle. Remember when there were rumblings that Bezos and Sanchez were to become man and wife in Aspen last December at Kevin Costner's ranch? The Hollywood Reporter says that actually wasn't a rumor and was going to happen, but the tech titan's lawyers forbid him to move forward unless his fortune was safeguarded properly. READ MORE: Billionaire Bunker has an unpleasant problem You'd think Bezos, who as of Friday is the world's fourth richest person, would have learned his lesson in his first go around. The Palmetto Senior High alum did not have a prenup with this ex-wife, Mackenzie Scott. The 55-year-old mother of four received 25 percent of their shared stake in Amazon, about $35 billion. After their 2019 divorce, she ended up giving away almost half of that to various causes, including a number of South Florida organizations. Now that the icky matter of finances are taken care of, Bezos and Sanchez can really can get down to the business of partying. Despite protests held throughout the historic city forcing them to move the venue, plus a freak thunderstorm Thursday night, everything seems to be rolling along. All the celeb guests, including Indian Creek Village neighbors Ivanka Trump and Tom Brady, have arrived, and are ready to celebrate the ceremony set for Friday night — possibly blissfully ignorant of the fact that the bride and groom are already hitched. At least no one had to pony up for presents, even though most could afford it. As per the unusually simple wedding invitation that was leaked online, the newlyweds requested 'no gifts.' That's because they made contributions in the attendees' honor to three Venetian organizations, $1 million apiece. 'This magical place has gifted us unforgettable memories,' the invite said. 'Our hope is that through these efforts and by you joining us, Venice will continue to inspire wonder for generations to come.'

Charlize Theron 'not allowed' to use slang
Charlize Theron's daughters won't let her use their favourite slang words. The 49-year-old actress - who has adopted kids Jackson, 12, and nine-year-old August - think she is "too old" for certain popular terms, while she is "not allowed" to use other phrases because they have gone out of fashion. Walking the red carpet in a fishnet Givenchy outfit at the Los Angeles premiere of her latest movie The Old Guard 2, Charlize told Extra of her look: "August gave it a thumbs-up." Host Terri Seymour then asked: "What do they say? Would it be 'snatched'? Do we say you're looking 'snatched'?" Charlize admitted: 'Apparently, I'm not allowed to say it. There's so many things I'm just not allowed to say anymore. I'm still learning my way. ''Rizz' is something that I can't say. Nobody says it, apparently. There's a lot of like, 'You can't say that because you're old,' but she was like 'Nobody even says that anymore,' so every day is an education. All of it. "Things change so fast… I wouldn't go by my understanding of this very intricate language of the Gen Alphas and Zs." And while Charlize "loved" her retro hairstyle in The Old Guard 2, she recently admitted her kids were horrified by her mullet. Speaking on Late Night with Seth Meyers, she said: "I have two girls, and they're very, very... they're mostly very girly. And they think of me as a princess. And they want Mom to look like a princess. "But they came back from school. I was in my bathroom and I was getting it cut and it had already been coloured. And I just remember looking over and they both came into the room really excited, and then they just both froze. And they just went... and one started crying. "One literally started bawling their eyes out. And I had to actually sit down with her and say, 'We all get to be who we want to be. And right now, Mom wants to wear a mullet.' I don't tell you what to do with your hair." Impersonating one of her children, Charlize added: "I still don't like it." The Mad Max: Fury Road actress revealed last month that her children are unimpressed by her Hollywood career. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Theron quipped: "My children have zero respect for me. "It's just unbelievable, I feel like I'm pretty humble, but every once in a while I'm like, 'There's a f****** Oscar right there.' They are so not impressed with me." Charlize recalled an incident when her youngest child unflatteringly compared her with Tom Cruise. She explained: "I was picking up my youngest from dance yesterday and we drove past the new Mission Impossible poster where Tom Cruise is hanging onto some yellow plane, and he just looks really cool. "My kids were with me when I shot Old Guard 2 and I worked on this incredibly intricate sequence where we brought in this amazing helicopter pilot, Fred North, and we were gonna choreograph me fighting helicopters and jumping on this real helicopter and hanging off. Shooting 99 per cent of it on a real helicopter as it's trying to shake me off like a rag doll. "We took like two weeks to shoot this sequence and I was like, 'Wow, I just did that, that's really amazing.' And my child yesterday just looked at this poster of Tom Cruise and went, 'It's weird, he looks so much cooler than you did when you were hanging off the helicopter.' "I was just like, 'I hung off the helicopter, [can I have] some credit?'"

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez net worth: How much is the billionaire couple worth together?
Source: X Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez have arrived in Venice to celebrate what many are calling the most extravagant wedding of the year — but beyond the glitz, the three-day affair offers a rare peek into the staggering personal fortunes of the couple at its center. From June 24 to 26, about 200 handpicked guests will gather across Venice's most elite venues, including the Belmond Hotel Cipriani, the St. Regis, and Bezos's $500 million superyacht, Koru. Lavish though it may be, this event is just one manifestation of the couple's vast wealth — a wealth that stretches far beyond wedding budgets and designer gowns. Jeff Bezos: A $227 billion empire According to Forbes, Jeff Bezos is currently worth an estimated $227 billion, making him one of the wealthiest individuals alive. He founded Amazon in 1994 out of his garage, and over the decades, grew it into a global e-commerce and tech behemoth. Even after stepping down as CEO in 2021, Bezos retains substantial Amazon stock, which forms the bulk of his fortune. Source: X But his investments stretch far beyond retail. He owns The Washington Post, aerospace company Blue Origin, and has committed $10 billion to environmental causes through the Bezos Earth Fund. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trending in in 2025: Local network access control [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo His real estate holdings alone are valued in the hundreds of millions. Properties include a sprawling estate in Washington, D.C., several New York penthouses, and a Beverly Hills compound that cost over $165 million. Then there's Koru — the $500 million, 417-foot megayacht featuring a wooden exterior, a helipad, and even its own support vessel. According to Bloomberg, the yacht alone requires a crew of over 40 and costs tens of millions annually to maintain. Lauren Sánchez: Self-made millionaire with a powerful career portfolio While Bezos's wealth commands headlines, Lauren Sánchez has quietly built a powerful empire of her own. As per Celebrity Net Worth, Sánchez is worth an estimated $30 million. A former Emmy-winning TV anchor, she gained prominence through shows like Good Day LA and Extra. She also guest-hosted The View and worked as a media personality for over two decades. But Sánchez is more than a broadcaster — she's an entrepreneur and a licensed helicopter pilot. She founded Black Ops Aviation, the first female-owned aerial film company, which has worked with high-end clients like Netflix, Sony, and major Hollywood productions, including Dunkirk. She's also a children's book author; her debut, The Fly Who Flew to Space, became a New York Times bestseller. Source: X Sánchez's real estate portfolio includes an $11 million Beverly Hills mansion she once shared with her ex-husband,Patrick Whitesell, plus a $4.5 million adjoining property they acquired to expand their lot. In 2021, she and Bezos jointly purchased a $78 million beachfront estate in Maui, Hawaii — a 14-acre compound with a private beach, two houses, and a 700-square-foot pool. Pre-nup talks? Though the couple often makes headlines for their luxurious vacations and affectionate public appearances, sources speculate that financial planning has been a key component of their relationship. Bezos did not have a prenuptial agreement with MacKenzie Scott when they married in 1993—long before Amazon became a tech titan. Their divorce in 2019 resulted in Scott receiving a 4% stake in Amazon, valued at approximately $36 billion at the time. With both Bezos and Sánchez having been previously married, and both managing substantial personal wealth, their approach this time signals a more cautious and calculated path to 'happily ever after.'

Priyanka Chopra Jonas reveals daughter's adorably 'funny' mispronunciation of famous dad's name
Priyanka Chopra Jonas' daughter has a "funny" way of pronouncing her famous dad's surname. The Heads of State actress - who has three-year-old daughter Malti Marie with Nick Jonas - has revealed her toddler's struggles with trying to say her father's last name properly. Speaking to Extra, she laughed: "I think she's trying to say 'Jonas,' but it just comes out as 'donut,' and now she knows that we think it's funny so she says it over and over again.' Priyanka and the Jonas Brothers singer have both been kept busy lately, as she's been promoting new movie Heads of State while he's been performing on Broadway in The Last Five Years. The couple have been working hard to balance their work life and family, while fully supporting each other in their endeavours. Priyanka added: "It's the best. "There's a sense of safety and I would wish that upon everyone to be able to find someone where you feel like there is unconditional support in all your choices. I mean, that's the dream. I'm really grateful for it.' The 42-year-old actress described Malti Marie as "such a girly girl" and a huge fan of princesses, in particular the titular character from the 2016 movie Moana and its 2024 sequel, and she even introduces herself with an extra moniker in tribute to her idol. Speaking on Good Morning America, Priyanka said: "She introduces herself as Malti Marie Moana Chopra Jonas. She insists she's Moana. "She insists it's her name, like officially her name in school. She says, 'I'm Malti Marie Moana.' " And her daughter loves to play dress up in Priyanka's closet. She said: "She loves coming into my closet, wearing my shoes, seeing my dresses. "She was with us when we were getting dressed for the Met Gala, and she put on my gloves and my hat and she said, 'Mama and Gaga are going to a ball, just like Cinderella.' "
