Here are some photos of Dakota Johnson on Thursday in New York. She was leaving the Greenwich Hotel, en route to 30 Rock to appear on Late Night with Seth Meyers. I don?t have the ID on her dress here, but her bag is Gucci (she?s a Gucci ambassador). This is how you turn up post-breakup too leggy, well-rested and fabulous. Dakota?s in NYC this week to promote The Materialists, which looks like such a good rom-dramedy. As many pointed out, Dakota?s team was likely the source of People Magazine?s exclusive about Dakota?s split from Chris Martin. She?s in promotional mode she doesn?t want a million questions about Chris Martin either way, so they just got that news out there ahead of her press events. Well, Page Six had a different exclusive about the breakup and what was really behind it:
Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin reportedly split after nearly eight years together ? for two reasons. The ?Fifty Shades of Grey? actress, 35, and the Coldplay frontman, 48, called it quits because of their age gap and the topic of having children, a source told the US Sun.
?Dakota has been desperate for her and Chris to work out for years, and every time they broke up she was devastated and in tears,? the insider stated. ?Even some of Dakota?s team would have to console her when they were apart and she could never move on. She really loves him and his children, and he deeply loves her, but things were just never lining up for them and it was very up and down.?
?They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem. She?d [also] expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life.?
The source told the outlet that Johnson and Martin had been ?back and forth on issues for years? and had discussions about everything, including children.
?They made some beautiful memories as a family and it?ll be hard for both of them to move on after such a long relationship but they will do it,? the insider claimed.

My tip for Chris Martin is? if you?re done with having kids, maybe stop messing around with such young girlfriends? Chris started dating Dakota when she was 27-ish. Over the course of their eight-year relationship, of course they discussed having kids and what they really wanted. He was really wasting her time if he?s known all along that he didn?t want any more kids. Anyway, I?ve really started to root for Dakota, and I hope she stays booked and busy. I hope she finds some guy who adores her and treats her like a princess, because I don?t think Chris was like that at all.

Years ago, one of the actresses who came up in the 1990s said the biggest difference between Hollywood then and now was that women are finally getting credit for putting projects together and producing their own stuff. I was reminded of that as I read through Parker Posey?s interview on the Smartless podcast. I?m surprised Parker even went on this podcast, but I?ve been pleasantly surprised by all of Parker?s moves in the past year. She grabbed that amazing role on The White Lotus and now she?s doing the most with her career resurgence. It?s well-deserved Parker is an icon. In the Smartless pod, she talked about how she used to be typecast as an ?indie queen? and gaslit into believing that she couldn?t do studio films.
Parker Posey is opening up about the challenges she faced when making the jump from indie films to studio movies earlier in her career. The White Lotus star made a recent appearance on the Smartless podcast, hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett, where she was asked for her reaction to being labeled the ?indie queen? in the ?90s, thanks to her iconic roles in Party Girl, Flirt, Dazed and Confused and The Daytrippers. However, Posey admitted that it actually hindered her from getting roles in major studio projects.
?I felt like I was called a name, in a way,? she explained. ?My path was more like, ?Oh, [The Daytrippers director] Greg Mottola did a reading of his movie that he was trying to get financed,? and then I introduced him to Liev Schreiber who was in Party Girl, and then we do The Daytrippers a year later. It was such a community back then. I felt like right when I got exposed, and the whole indie movement got exposed, it also got co-opted by the studio system, and then it became this other thing. All of a sudden, I wasn?t viable to get a movie financed, and it was such a head trip because I would have to audition for Hollywood movies when I?d carried the lead in independent movies that were shot in 23 days.?
Looking back, Posey believes she was ?gaslit? into thinking she wasn?t on the same playing field as other notable Hollywood names. Posey has previously spoken about losing out on big roles to Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock, such as 1994?s Speed, which ultimately saw Bullock land the role of Annie, because she was ?too indie.?
?[I would say], ?I can promise I can memorize these lines in the script, and we?ll have a blast, trust me!?? She added. ?So I had, like, a good 20 years of that after, and then working with great auteurs and doing these [films], not getting paid a lot, but being able to work and fulfill my creativity.?

This sounds similar to Chloe Sevigny?s experience, right? Chloe leaned into the indie thing, but she also openly pursued television work to pay the bills because studios were not interested in her whatsoever. With Parker, it feels like it was worse than typecasting though they really just didn?t want to hire someone with her ?indie queen? profile, they didn?t think she was ?viable,? even though she was clearly putting together projects and enough of a name to get indie films financed. And it?s also crazy because she was legitimately proving to everyone that she was a leading lady and a fantastic actress. When I watched her in The White Lotus, I felt sort of sad that she hasn?t been giving those kinds of fantastic performances every year because people didn?t have enough imagination to hire her.
