Welcome to News. I'm Hanna Do
from
studios in New York City. Hi, good morning everyone. I'm Baker Bead
and it's time for our morning tea.
It's a look at entertainment and celebrity stories making news actress Scarlett
Johansson is opening up to variety about her legal battle against Disney.
The black widow actress filed suit against the entertainment giant in 2021
over the decision to release black widow in theaters and streaming.
At the same time, we remember that we talked about that story a lot a move.
She says hurt the film's box office
potential costing her millions in expected income.
The actress told variety, Disney's response to the suit left her quote,
sad and disappointed but mostly sad.
She says strangers, kindness helped get her through it saying quote,
I couldn't even walk through a restaurant without somebody saying good for you,
stand up for yourself.
The suit was settled with details not disclosed.
There seems to be no bad blood as she is set to star in the tower of Terror reboot.
She even revealed she visits Disney World at least 10 times a year.
I mean, who doesn't want to go
to
Disney
10 times a year.
She says she's been doing that basically since she was a kid with her,
with her family lives in Florida.
But yeah, the, the
money she lost reportedly according to sources from variety
$20 million is how much money she potentially lost in
a And this all also was with the previous CEO of Disney at the time, Bob Chape,
but this was during the pandemic. This was,
this was when they a lot of these people didn't
know what if people were gonna go back to theaters.
You also had this brand new platform in Disney Plus at the same time.
But she says there is no bad blood. She still even said on the podcast.
Her dream is to have a corner office on the Burbank lot of Disney studios one day.
She's still a huge Disney fan and that it's
water under the bridge right now for Scarlett.
Well, when you get,
I'm assuming millions of dollars it would be water on the bridge for me as well.
True. Meanwhile, film legend, this is a wild story.
Robert De Niro turns 80 in August and he just revealed he's a father again.
Yeah,
the actor spilled the deeds during an interview
with E T Canada promoting his new film.
Coincidentally about a father is what the name of the movie is called
the Godfather.
Actor corrected the interview when she had asked,
got his six kids and then he chimed in to let her
know it was actually seven and he had just had a baby.
De Niro did not reveal who the child's mother or the sex of the baby uh was.
But when asked about his parenting style, he said, quote,
I don't think I'm a cool dad adding that he believes in being in love with his kids.
Even if he has to be stern, even
more kids might come seventh might not be his last, believe it or not. Who is he?
Nick Cannon? What, what is happening here?
Who do you, who do you think is gonna have more kids or actually like, have, I mean,
do you think Nick Cannon might have kids at 80 years old?
Yes. Yes, I do. Yes, I do.
And Elon Musk as well,
but the way it came out is the best way because the interviewer was like, oh, you know,
you're six Children.
He's like, no seven just had a baby. Yeah. Do you think, do you think Robert De Niro?
I mean, even though I meet the parents and meet the Fockers, he sounds like he's
a
God. I feel like he is exactly that character. You think he's,
I think he probably, he looks like he is.
I mean, maybe he is thinking of like the godfather probably.
You think they're just softies? But no.
