Couric proudly announced this happy news on Instagram, sharing a series of heartwarming photos of the newborn alongside his birth details. The baby, affectionately called Jay, arrived on his due date, weighing just shy of seven pounds.

In another touching moment, Couric shared a photo of her daughter Carrie meeting her new nephew, emphasizing the significance of family bonds. Additionally, there was a snapshot of Couric’s husband, John Molner, proudly holding a cigar alongside Dobrosky, symbolizing the celebration of this joyous occasion.

This announcement comes after Couric’s previous revelation of Ellie’s pregnancy in December. Ellie and her sister Carrie creatively broke the news to Couric during a Taylor Swift concert by presenting her with a friendship bracelet spelling out “Granny to be.” Couric’s emotional and joy-filled reaction was captured in a heartwarming video, showcasing the anticipation and excitement leading up to Jay’s arrival.

Couric’s Instagram post resonated deeply with her followe rs, who joined in celebrating this new chapter in her life. The outpouring of love and support from fans reflected the universal joy that comes with the arrival of a new family member. As Couric and her family embark on this journey of grandparenthood, they are surrounded by love, warmth, and cherished memories of Jay Monahan, whose legacy lives on through his grandson Jay.

Gerwig’s Muse: The Essence of Emily Blunt’s Character in ‘The Fall Guy’

 

In the upcoming action-comedy “The Fall Guy,” Emily Blunt portrays Jody Moreno, a film director. Blunt disclosed that she drew inspiration for her character from filmmaker Greta Gerwig, known for her work on films like “Barbie.” She mentioned that she infused Jody with some of Gerwig’s warmth and charm, alongside elements from other individuals she had encountered. Originally, Jody was scripted as a makeup artist, but director David Leitch and producer Kelly McCormick decided to pivot and make her a filmmaker, adding depth to the story.

According to Kelly McCormick, they altered Emily’s role from a makeup artist to a first-time director before presenting her with the rough draft, intending to intensify the pressure on the character. Emily remarked on the collaborative process of shaping Jody, emphasizing the desire to portray someone grappling with being out of their depth rather than a typical tough director archetype.

In “The Fall Guy,” Ryan Gosling takes on the role of Colt Seavers, a stuntman. Gosling shared a memorable encounter with Steven Spielberg, who unexpectedly approached him to express admiration for the film. Gosling recounted feeling incredulous as Spielberg approached, assuming the renowned director couldn’t possibly be addressing him. However, Spielberg’s praise for “The Fall Guy” left an indelible impression on Gosling, who considered it a defining moment in his career, regardless of the film’s reception elsewhere.

Gosling expressed immense excitement for audiences to experience the movie, citing Spielberg’s approval as a validation of its quality and significance.

Frozen Empire: ‘Ghostbusters’ Chills Box Office with $16M Debut

News about ‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’ Box Office

“Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” made a solid debut with $16 million in North American ticket sales from Friday and preview screenings across 4,345 theaters, nearly matching the opening day earnings of its predecessor, “Ghostbusters: Afterlife.” Despite facing some lukewarm reviews compared to “Afterlife,” and receiving a slightly lower audience score, the film is expected to dominate the domestic box office. However, it still has to overcome its $100 million production budget. The return of both new and original cast members has been a highlight for fans.

Meanwhile, competing against “Frozen Empire” is the release of “Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire” from Warner Bros. and Legendary, which may pose a challenge for the Ghostbusters sequel in the coming weeks.

In addition to these blockbusters, indie horror film “Immaculate,” starring Sydney Sweeney and directed by Michael Mohan, is also opening this weekend. While reviews are positive, initial audience sentiment is mixed, which is common for the horror genre.

“Dune: Part Two” is expected to maintain its position in second place at the box office, with strong earnings pushing its domestic gross past $230 million. Despite facing competition from new releases, the film continues to perform well.

Universal’s “Kung Fu Panda 4” is projected to secure the third spot, with a solid hold despite the arrival of “Frozen Empire.” The DreamWorks Animation sequel is on track to surpass the domestic gross of its predecessor, “Kung Fu Panda 3.”

Lastly, “Arthur the King,” starring Mark Wahlberg, rounds out the top five, though it has underperformed in its opening. Despite its soft debut the film may still recover some ground considering its modest production budget.

‘The Batman 2’ Release Delayed to October 2026  

 

News about ‘The Batman 2’ Delayed

Warner Bros. Discovery announced on Tuesday that Matt Reeves’ “The Batman 2” is facing a delay, pushing its release date to October 2, 2026. Originally slated for October 2025, the sequel’s production was hindered by script development setbacks during the 2023 Hollywood strikes, as per TheWrap.

Robert Pattinson is set to reprise his role in the sequel. The decision to shift the release date places “The Batman 2” in a slot historically favorable for Warner Bros., a tradition stretching back to the success of “Demolition Man” in 1993, followed by hits like “Gravity,” “Annabelle,” “A Star Is Born,” and “Joker.”

The first installment of “The Batman” franchise, released two years ago, raked in $772 million globally. The new schedule for “The Batman 2” strategically avoids overlapping with the release of DC Studios’ inaugural Superman film, “Superman: Legacy,” directed by James Gunn, set for July 11, 2025. “Superman: Legacy” marks the beginning of DCU’s first phase, aimed at establishing an interconnected DC Comics cinematic universe.

Contrary to DC Studios’ interconnected continuity, “The Batman” series maintains its separate narrative. This departure was confirmed by James Gunn, who likened such standalone stories to DC Elseworlds, citing examples like Todd Phillips’ “Joker” and even humorously mentioning “Teen Titans Go!”

Moreover, Gunn and Safran hinted at an upcoming film introducing another live-action Batman and Damian Wayne, Bruce Wayne’s son who eventually takes on the mantle of Robin.

Nile Rodgers Joins Esteemed List of Polar Music Prize Winners

 

Chic frontman Nile Rodgers and composer Esa-Pekka Salonen have been honored with the prestigious Polar Music Prize 2024, often referred to as the “Nobel Prize of music.”

The Polar Music Prize typically recognizes two figures each year, one contemporary and one classical, for their significant contributions to music. The ceremony for the award, established in 1992 and first awarded to Sir Paul McCartney, will be held at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm, Sweden, on May 21, in the presence of the Swedish royal family.

Nile Rodgers, chairman of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, is renowned for producing music legends such as David Bowie, Madonna, and Diana Ross as well as creating disco classics like “Le Freak” and “Everybody Dance” with his band Chic. Reflecting on the importance of communication in artistry, Rodgers emphasized the need to share creations with the world.

However, Rodgers expressed concerns about the fairness of remuneration for artists in the digital age, highlighting the disparity between streaming access and financial compensation. He called for greater transparency from record labels to ensure fair compensation for musicians, emphasizing the need for a new paradigm in artist remuneration.

Rodgers also offered advice to younger artists, encouraging them to embrace failure and allow room for experimentation in their creative process. He emphasized that not everyone will appreciate their work, but artists should focus on exploration and expression.

Esa-Pekka Salonen, currently the music director of the San Francisco Symphony, was lauded for his innovative approach to composing and conducting in classical music. His ability to balance sound and emotion has deeply moved listeners, establishing him as a master of tone.

Marie Ledin, managing director of the Polar Music Prize, expressed delight in honoring Rodgers and Salonen for their groundbreaking contributions to music. She praised Rodgers for his impact on pop culture and Salonen for his innovative work in classical music.

Previous recipients of the Polar Music Prize include iconic artists such as Iggy Pop, Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd, Bjork, Led Zeppelin and Sir Elton John, among others.
