Black Widow is out this week, a fact which I didn?t realize because in my opinion the hype around it has been rather subdued. I attributed that to the pandemic delaying the release of the film, and the fact that Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pugh had already done a ton of promotional interviews last year, before the film?s release was delayed. But maybe the hype machine has been kind of quiet in recent weeks because the star of Black Widow has been opting out of promotion? because she?s very knocked up!
Scarlett Johansson is pregnant! The Oscar-nominated actress is expecting her first child with husband Colin Jost, multiple sources tell Page Six. One source told us: ?Scarlett is actually due soon, I know she and Colin are thrilled.?
Another insider added: ?Scarlett is pregnant but has been keeping it very quiet. She has been keeping a very low profile.?
The ?Avengers? star, 36, sparked pregnancy rumors in June after skipping out on several ?Black Widow? events.
?She hasn?t been doing many interviews or events to promote ?Black Widow? which is surprising since it is a huge Marvel/Disney release and she is both the star and an executive producer,? our source explained. Instead, she?s been carrying out promotional appearances via Zoom, appearing virtually on the ?Tonight Show? to chat with Jimmy Fallon on June 21 and conspicuously only shot from the shoulders up.
She was also absent from a ?Black Widow? screening in the Hamptons Friday ? attended by her co-star David Harbour and followed by a party at Mariska Hargitay?s home ? even though she and Jost own a home in Montauk, where they?re frequently seen out and about.
A Hamptons source told us: ?Scarlett usually spends a lot of the summer out in Amagansett and Montauk, and you?d often see her walking her dogs on the beach or getting coffee. But this summer it seems like she is deliberately trying to keep a low profile.?
Disney has already thrown ?Black Widow? events in New York, Los Angeles, and London but sans ScarJo. The actress stars in the big-budget flick ? released this weekend after being postponed last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic ? as the titular character, a Russian-born spy-turned-Avenger. It?s among a number of movies which Hollywood hopes will revive the box office.

I wonder why Scarlett didn?t just announce her pregnancy a month ago and do a few interviews talking about how happy she is to have another baby and what have you? I know, she has the right to privacy and no one should be forced into revealing a pregnancy if they want to keep it quiet, but it feels like Scarlett is trying to be purposefully weird? She and Colin are married, they?ve been together for years, and Scarlett is already a mom to Rose, who turns seven years old later this summer! It?s not like ?being pregnant with your second child? is some big scandal! I wonder if Marvel is a little bit mad that their star is barely doing any promo. Anyway, congrats to Scarlett and Colin. Pregnant with a little bonsai tree!

In her testimony in her conservatorship case, Britney Spears mentioned that she wasnt even aware that she could petition to have the conservatorship removed. Britney said that her court-appointed lawyer, Sam Ingham, hadnt informed her that she could do that and told her I can?t let the public know anything they did to me. He told me I should keep it to myself. Ingham has not filed to have Britneys conservatorship terminated and legal experts have said that if he did not inform his client of her right to terminate that it was negligent. Ingham has now resigned Britneys lawyer. While some may consider this a positive development for Britney, it may delay her case as Ill get to in a moment. Heres more, from US Weekly. Britneys longterm manager, Larry Rudolph, has also resigned. The co-conservator of her estate, Bessemer Trust, is leaving as well while the conservator of her person, Jodi Montgomery, plans to stay on.
Britney Spears? court-appointed attorney, Samuel Ingham III, is stepping down less than one month after the 39-year-old pop star?s emotional conservatorship hearing, Us Weekly can confirm.
The California-based attorney filed a resignation request with the court on Tuesday, July 6, according to documents obtained by Us. The filing states that Ingham will step back from his role once the judge finds Spears a new court-appointed counsel.
Loeb & Loeb LLP, which is a secondary firm that was brought in to work with Ingham in October 2020, is also resigning. The private firm?s decision to resign from the conservatorship also will take effect once new counsel is approved by the judge.

US Magazine quotes an expert who says that its possible there could be a hearing to determine whether Britney is competent enough to hire her own counsel. I really hope that happens for her and that she gets the right to hire someone representing her interests. This comes right after The New Yorker published Ronan Farrow and Jia Tolentinos explosive report on Britneys conservatorship. That piece details how quickly the conservatorship was established when Britney was going through a crisis as she was losing custody of her children. Britney was being controlled by other men in her orbit, and then her father, Jamie, took over legally. The way Farrow explains it, Jamie emotionally abused Britney while controlling her finances and access to her children. Britney went to great lengths to try to get a cell phone, to attempt to get her own lawyer, and to try to get the word out about what was happening to her. Everyone she befriended and asked for help, including a housekeeper and a photographer, were found out and fired by the team of people controlling her.
I asked my friend Lisa for a quote about this. Shes a cohost of the Eat, Pray, Britney podcast and I spoke to her on episode #82 of our podcast. Lisa thinks that Inghams resignation may delay Britneys case. She said The scary thing is, Britney has no legal right to pick her own attorney and its unclear how she would get ahold of a new lawyer even if she could pick because they are restricting her interactions with people and her phone and internet use.
One thing Farrow covered that struck me is the issue of conservatorships becoming a self-fulfilling loop thats impossible to escape. Everything Britney does is seen under that lens. Farrow quotes a disability rights advocate, Jonathan Martinis, who says that people are screwed under conservatorships, basically, and that the burden of proof is incredibly high. Martinis detailed something that sounds quite similar to a study I learned about in psychology class, the Rosenhan experiment. He said If a conservatee functions well under conservatorship, it can be framed as proof of the arrangement?s necessity; if a conservatee struggles under conservatorship, the same conclusion can be drawn. And if a conservatee gets out, and stumbles into crisis or manipulation?a likelihood increased by time spent formally disempowered?this, too, might reinforce the argument for their prior legal restraints. Britney had a residency in Vegas for four years. What more can she do to earn her freedom, when she hasnt been able to go public with her story for 13 years?

The Cannes Film Festival is upon us, better late than never. Every year, Cannes is usually held in May, but after cancelling the in-person festival last year, organizers decided to simply push back this year?s festival until right now, the start of July. After several weak years and complaints that Cannes was ?over,? everyone seems completely thrilled to be back on the Promenade de la Croisette. The first photocalls and the first premiere were held yesterday and it?s just so much fun to look at pretty people being pretty in interesting clothes. Speaking of, this is Bella Hadid in a Jean Paul Gaultier look from one of his 2002 collections. So, just shy of vintage. Still, she looked like she loved the gown and she really worked the red carpet.
Maggie Gyllenhaal wore a custom Celine which, honestly, is kind of a snooze? She looks amazing in bolder colors.
Speaking of bolder colors, here?s Helen Mirren, dripping in jewels and clothed in a saffron Dolce & Gabbana. She pulls off the color and the epic jewels, but the designers behind D&G are fking terrible and people just need to stop wearing these clothes.
Jessica Chastain wore Dior. I wonder if this was her second choice after she spilled something on the first choice? This gown screams ?back-up gown.?
Marion Cotillard wore Chanel Fall 2020 Couture. She really loves that kind of ?fish scale? pattern, she?s always drawn to gowns like that. She?s posing with Angle, who is so French Belgian that she makes thick bangs look chic.
Jodie Foster is in Cannes to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award. She looks incredible in every photo I?ve seen of her she?s letting her grey hair come in and it looks so good. She also went with really simple silhouettes for her Cannes looks, like this custom Givenchy. Jodie brought her wife/partner Alexandra Hedison too!!
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy in a custom Celine. Glam. Completely glam.
Spike Lee is the president of the Cannes Jury this year. In all of the photos, he looks like he?s having a great time.

| | Kim Kardashian is revamping her KKW Beauty line & starting a home-goods line | | Added 1024 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

I?ll admit that I didn?t think Kim Kardashian?s beauty line would be very successful. I thought she was just copying Kylie Jenner?s cosmetics-company model and putting her own ?Kim? spin on it. But KKW Beauty is pretty successful, I guess. Coty bought a 20% stake in KKW Beauty for $200 million, meaning that on paper, KKW Beauty is worth a billion dollars. Personally, I think Kim?s biggest brand is probably Skims, her shapewear and loungewear line, but sure, KKW Beauty is still doing things. Now TMZ reports that KKW Beauty is getting a makeover:
The KKW Beauty brand is getting a makeover shutting down its online operations to re-launch with a totally new look. Sources close to the situation tell TMZ Kim Kardashian Wests brand continues to be immensely successful, and that alone is sufficient enough a reason why its not going anywhere, but some major changes are coming.
Were told the plan is to switch out to new packaging, new formulas and, of course, a new brand identity. Kim said as much with Tuesdays announcement saying the brand will consist of new formulas that are more modern, innovative, and packaged in an elevated and sustainable new look.
There was speculation Kim Ks plans to shut down the KKW Beauty website was a prelude to her dropping West from her name but were told thats not the case, her name has not changed. Were told Kims remaining as involved as ever in the company in conjunction with her new partners over at Coty Inc. As we reported Kims brand hit the billion-dollar mark following a new deal with the cosmetic conglomerate, which forked over $200 million for a 20% stake in KKWs biz.

So wait? is Kim still going to use ?West? professionally? I know it would be a pain in the ass to drop ?West? from her name professionally and privately, but still? I guess that?s the ?brand? though after all, Kris Jenner still uses ?Jenner? (and ?Kardashian? sometimes). Anyway, I wanted to talk about this KKW Beauty rebrand because this little item cropped up in Us Weekly:
Kim Kardashian is getting into the booming home goods business. ?Kim will be ready to announce the first drop of her home line in a couple of weeks,? a source tells Us. Kim is excited about her new venture ?it?s something she?s been working on for over a year now. She?s going to launch several candles, room scents, throws and decorative items to start.?
The source says the second phase of the new project will also include furniture for every room of the house. ?Kim?s design aesthetic is luxe minimalist,? the source says. ?Think lots of neutral colors, with extravagant textures.?
[From Us Weekly, print edition]
So this was what she was doing instead of studying for the baby bar, which she flunked twice. She was building her Martha Stewart-esque empire of glam-minimalist home goods. How many textured white throw pillows will she sell? How many people want their homes to smell like a Kardashian?
