Snow White — Disney's live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot — is coming soon to digital streaming.
Directed by Marc Webb, Snow White has been plagued with various controversies since the film went into production more than three years ago. Among the controversies were Zegler's critical comments about the 1937 original tale, divisive political social media posts and Disney's decision to make the seven dwarfs CGI characters after actor Peter Dinklage criticized the idea of using actors born with dwarfism playing the roles.

Rated PG, Snow White stars Zegler in the title role and Gadot plays the Evil Queen. However, there are several departures from the storyline of the original 1937 animated based on the classic Brothers Grimm fairytale.
Among them is the replacement of the prince character by a bandit named Jonathan (Andrew Burnap), which resulted in the omission of the animated film's song 'Someday, My Prince Will Come.'
There are also changes to at least one of the dwarf characters and a different ending since the prince character doesn't exist. Forbes Met Gala 2025: See Photos Of Zendaya, Demi Moore, Cynthia Erivo And More By Tim Lammers
Snow White is set to arrive on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Tuesday, May 13, per Prime Video, where the film is up for pre-order for $29.99 (which is also the film's purchase price. Digital rentals are typically $5 less than purchase prices, so viewers can expect to rent Snow White for $24.99 for a 48-hour period.
Snow White will also be available on on a variety of other digital platforms, including AppleTV and Fandango at Home.
Given the film's $270 million production budget before prints and advertising costs (via The Numbers ), Snow White's domestic opening weekend tally of $42.2 million from 4,200 theaters was considered a flop. Business for the film slid 66% in the film's second weekend and its domestic take was in the single digits by its third weekend in theaters.

To date, Snow White has earned nearly $86.1 million domestically and $115.5 million domestically for a worldwide tally of $201.7 million.
Snow White received a 40% 'rotten' rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics based on 255 reviews. RT's Critics Consensus for the film reads, ' Snow White is hardly a grumpy time at the movies thanks to Rachel Zegler's luminous star turn, but its bashful treatment of the source material along with some dopey stylistic choices won't make everyone happy, either.'

Audiences gave Snow White a 72% 'fresh' score on RT's Popcornmeter based on 2,500-plus verified user ratings. The audience summary of the film on RT reads, ' Disney's Snow White may not be the fairest incarnation of them all, but its benign song and spirit may make you hum along all the same.'

How Jim Harbaugh's text exchange with Jason Sudeikis inspired ‘Ted Lasso' gameday attire
Among the ways to describe Jim Harbaugh: Los Angeles Chargers coach, championship-winning college football coach, passionate, quirky, Michigan Man. And now … gameday fashion expert? Four years ago, actor and 'Ted Lasso' star Jason Sudeikis revealed on 'Late Night With Seth Meyers' that he confided in Harbaugh to craft his character's gameday wardrobe. At the time, Sudeikis mentioned Harbaugh told him he keeps it simple: khakis and a sweatshirt. But it turns out Harbaugh's response was plenty more detailed than that. Advertisement This week, Sudeikis revisited that text exchange with Harbaugh in an appearance at the Men in Blazers' 'One Year To Glory' event earlier this week, which signaled the one-year countdown to the 2026 World Cup. Sudeikis said he and Harbaugh texted on Sept. 4, 2019, when 'Ted Lasso' filming was beginning. 'Writing you from jolly old England … as we're in the middle of filming episode two of that 'Ted Lasso' show I'm doing for Apple, so far so good, I think,' Sudieikis wrote in the text with a shrug emoji before asking Harbaugh his routine for gameday attire. What does he wear to and from the stadium? And for post-game interviews? 'I wear the same clothes every day, khakis and a blue sweatshirt,' Harbaugh's response began. 'Will wear the same thing to post interviews and then home as well. No shower unless it's really hot or really cold outside or raining. In that case, our equipment manager has a duplicate pair of everything I wear in my locker, so I put that on to wear back on the plane or home. And always a new pair of socks and different underwear. There's always a locker with extra layers for cold games, plus long johns. That's the routine for road games and home games. I pack a playbook, call sheet, one extra underwear, one extra pair of socks and a toothbrush. Wear the rest of what I need. 'As I like to say, I pack a toothbrush and a great attitude.' Harbaugh continued by describing how other coaches might pack a bag and perhaps change from a suit to coaching gear once they get to the stadium. Some keep their coaching gear on after, others change clothes 'I don't see the point in getting all dressed up to ride the bus or walk into a stadium, but most coaches, many pro players want to look sharp for the brief camera shot coming off the bus and into the stadium,' Harbaugh wrote. 'Hope that helps, more than happy to do so.' Jason Sudeikis reads his full text exchange with NFL coach Jim Harbaugh on proper coaching attire. A tale of khakis, toothbrushes, extra underwear and emojis 🤷🏻♂️✌️🩲 — Men in Blazers (@MenInBlazers) June 12, 2025 Might as well add 'detail oriented' to Harbaugh's signature qualities. Harbaugh, who also appeared at the Los Angeles event, later discussed how the coaching mentality of Ted Lasso in the series reminded him of the way his father, Jack Harbaugh, approached the profession. Jack was the head coach of Western Michigan from 1982-86 and Western Kentucky from 1989-2002, leading the Hilltoppers to the 2002 Division I-AA Football Championship title. In 2023, he came out of retirement to work as an assistant coach with Jim's Michigan Wolverines, which won the College Football Playoff championship that year. Advertisement '(Ted Lasso) said one time … he judges success not by wins and losses but by making the fellas the best version of themselves on and off the field. That one really stuck,' Jim Harbaugh said. 'I want to be that kind of coach, that kind of leader which encourages rather than discourages. When you really think about it, when you're encouraging somebody, you're giving them confidence and you're giving them courage, which is far better than discouraging them, which leads them to be less courageous and less confident.' The Emmy Award-winning 'Ted Lasso' is a comedy series that follows an American soccer coach at a fictional English Premier League club, AFC Richmond. The show will return for a fourth season with Lasso coaching a women's team, as Sudeikis explained on an episode of the 'New Heights' podcast, hosted by Jason and Travis Kelce. The release date for the fourth season has not been announced. (Photo of Jim Harbaugh: Kirby Lee / Imagn Images)

To Play For Savannah Bananas Takes All Sorts Of Special Skills
*This is the second in a multi-part series on the Savannah Bananas. The Savannah Bananas are a lot of things: a traveling circus; a close-knit group of players, performers, team members (not 'employees'); a family affair; and the best night you will have at the ballpark all year (non-October division). What they are most decidedly not: a way-station for ballplayers trying to find their way back to organized baseball. The Bananas are a social media phenomenon. There is a multi-part documentary on ESPN; reports on 60 Minutes; and a YouTube series, 'Bananaland: The Road To Cooperstown.' Not to mention that they maintain an active presence on TikTok. But while watching at home is interesting, the Savannah Bananas need to be seen in person to be truly experienced. If you are unfamiliar with the team and their story, my colleague here at Candace Oehler wrote a great piece about the team and their owners, Jesse and Emily Cole. But when this writer visited the team in Arizona, I wanted to learn a little bit about the stars of the show: the players. Research showed that a great many hail from the minors or independent baseball. The team actually started in 2016 in the Coastal Plains League, which is a summer collegiate league, so the first batch of players came from that cohort. But what about today? As a quick review, the Bananas are made up of roughly 25 players. And they play against the Party Animals, the Firefighters, the Visitors, and the Texas Tailgaters. While at first blush it would seem that each opponent is the baseball equivalent of the Washington Generals (with the Bananas serving as the Harlem Globetrotters), that could not be further from the truth. As Jesse Cole told me, there are two ways in which Banana Ball is different than the nearly 100-year old basketball traveling roadshow: (1) The Bananas put on a different show every night (at least 15 different routines each game); and (2) There is real competition on the field. The outcome of each Bananas game is not pre-ordained; the players on both sides are out there to perform, and to win. Because of that, I wondered if the players were putting their best foot forward every time with the hope of catching (back) on with a team in organized baseball. But in interviews with more than a dozen players across multiple teams, only one even considered the possibility. One pitcher (who shall remain nameless to protect his anonymity), cut by two different professional organizations, said he would at least answer the phone if a professional club were to call; but he doubted he would take the offer if one came. He was having too much with this group. Jesse, and his wife, Emily, run the Bananas as a team, as a business, and as a family. And, to that end, they work overtime to make sure everyone is taken care – financially as well as emotionally. Unlike professional baseball (including the major leagues), the Bananas work on year-round contracts. That means everyone in the organization – most specifically, the players – are guaranteed income for twelve months, not just six or seven as is the case in other professional ranks. The players are well-renumerated. While no one – not the players nor the owners – would divulge what each gets paid, it was intimated that the players make considerably more than typical minor league salaries (even taking into consideration the new minor league collective bargaining agreement that was introduced in 2023), but well below big league money. It is, without question, a living wage. Further, each player has full health benefits. As in organized baseball, all contracts are individualized based on what the player brings to the table. Baseball skills, fans-first focus, ability to create unforgettable moments, level of fan engagement – both on and off the field, including on social media – are all components of what a player may get paid. Social media, in fact, is a massive part of the equation. The Bananas have more than 10 million followers on TikTok (up from 8.4 million this time last year), nearly three million on Instagram (up more than 10% since last year), but a mere 216,000 on X, formerly Twitter (which may say something about the age of their followers). With so much of their fan engagement done via the socials, the club is always looking for players who have – or can create – a huge following. Currently, infielder Jackson Olson is the leader by a mile, with 1.9 million followers on TikTok. But many of his teammates clock in with hundreds of thousands of followers, including Alex Ziegler, who has about 630,000, and was discovered by the club doing his bat tricks on social media. The Bananas want their players 'out there' hyping the game, the team, and the whole Banana ethos. Jesse and Emily operate with the mantra: 'Fans First. Entertain Always.' So, when the Bananas first formed to be the team(s) they would become, the vetting process for players was thorough, but tricky. Would a collegiate or former professional baseball player be willing to rip off his shirt and stand topless in the batter's box? How would he feel about twerking his way from the on-deck circle to the plate? Could he break out into dance on the mound, and then make a competitive pitch? What would these players do to give the fans the time of their life? At first, Jesse and Emily and their staff had to work extremely hard, looking all over the world to find the right balance of players who had the skills – both baseball and entertainment – to be part of this group. Now, with the organization's global success, they receive 'thousands' of submissions each day that they have to cull to see who will make a good member of any of their teams. While the pool of potential players has gotten larger, choosing the right players has not gotten easier. At the end of the day, the Coles want to make sure they have a competitive game and an unparalleled show. The competitive aspect is what I was dubious about. How could a guy who does a backflip while catching a flyball really care about winning? How does a team truly set up to play defense behind a pitcher standing nearly 11-feet tall wearing stilts? Would a player who could steal first base on a wild pitch really take the game seriously? Would players really chase a ball from the pitcher's mound to the warning track to keep a runner from scoring in what we would call 'extra innings' but they call a 'showdown?' The answer to each question is: MOST CERTAINLY! The competition is very much real. Pitchers are trying to strike out batters; batters are swinging for the fences; runners are trying to take the extra base; and fielders are trying to get outs – even if they add a whole lot of flair to the process. In the concourse after a game in Mesa, Arizona, one Banana player told me that he was happy they had won that night, as they had now won the series, which took a little pressure off of the next day's game. Another remarked that last season's seven-game losing streak to the Firefighters still stuck in his craw. When a Banana hit a hard shot into hole at short, he busted down the line, and was none-too-pleased when the throw beat him by half a step. You could see the player's frustration from the press box. Just because he was wearing a bright yellow uniform and the game had a clock and the first base coach was breakdancing, doesn't mean that the competitive zeal with which he has played the game his entire life went away. But, within seconds of heading back to the dugout, the frown was gone, and his smile was back. There was no thrown helmet or pouting on the bench. In fact, by the time he was back among his teammates, he was once again part of the party. But while in the batter's box and while running down that line, his fire burned just as hot as if there were twenty scouts in the stands judging his every movement. [It should be noted that no one actually sits in the dugout. Every coach and player is in front of the dugout enjoying the party as much as the fans in the stands.] Jesse and Emily have grand plans to grow their game. This summer they will be in 40 cities covering 28 states plus Washington, D.C. They currently have five teams, and are looking to add a sixth. The resumes and videos keep pouring in. There is no longer a dearth of players to choose from. But, as they have from day one, they will be persnickety and exacting, discovering players that are 'genuinely positive, happy, and outgoing…who understand that you know our job is to bring joy.' Never resting on their laurels, they continue to be on the hunt for the perfect bunch of Bananas.

John Legend On Loved01 And His On-Tour Skincare Routine
John Legend for Loved01 It's not often that I find myself wondering about a man's skincare routine, but when John Legend routinely looks like he's discovered the fountain of youth, one has to ponder what his skincare secrets are. Luckily for all of us, Legend has launched LOVED01, a genderless skincare brand that promises to deliver luxurious yet affordable skincare essentials. With Legend gearing up to head out on tour soon and his skin still looking flawless, I spoke to him to learn more about the creation of LOVED01, his on-the-road skincare routine, and more. Loved01 Every Inch Of You Is Loved Set | $60 When I asked what inspired the creation of LOVED01, Legend shared: 'I've always cared about taking good care of my skin and how I present myself.' He had collaborated with several brands in the skincare and personal care spaces, but felt like there was something missing. Thus, LOVED01 was born, with a goal of providing high-quality, clean skincare at an attainable price point. He shared that 'we really believe that everyone deserves great skincare and that we can offer them luxury-quality skincare with expertly curated ingredients at an affordable price.' To achieve that goal, the brand started out with a 6-piece capsule collection to provide a foundation for skin and body care. 'We wanted to make sure there were foundational pieces,' he explained; 'the butteriest moisturizer, a gentle exfoliator, a lightweight but hydrating oil, a deeply moisturizing wash, a powerful multi-use mist, and a smooth shave cream– that would work for the most sensitive of skin, but be loved by all skin types and tones.' In order to ensure the products were clean, they left out ingredients like sulfates, parabens, petrolatum, and synthetic fragrances. Rosehip Oil and Sea Buckthorn Oil are two of the most commonly found ingredients throughout Loved01's line, both of which have been used in skincare for centuries. They also prioritized making every formula 'dermatologist-recommended, vegan, and cruelty-free.' From the initial capsule collection, Loved01 has taken customer feedback into consideration when adding new products to the brand, most recently launching the Brightening Serum and Soothing Wipes. With each product, they hope that it 'builds on our mission to create functional, high-quality essentials that support uncomplicated routines and can be used for even the most sensitive skin.' Loved01 Exfoliating Cleansing Wipes | $10 With Legend gearing up for a busy tour this year, I wanted to get the scoop on his daily skincare routine and if that changes while traveling. He shared, 'When I'm on tour, my routine has to be simple, effective, and easy to stick to, especially with the travel and late nights.' He also explained that it's an important part of his self-care routine while on the go: 'Skincare is one of the ways I stay grounded on tour. It's not just about how I look; it's about taking a moment to take care of myself, even in the middle of everything else going on.' And of course, he trusts in Loved01 for all his skincare essentials. Here are his go-to products: 'The Cleansing Wipes are a must. They're the first thing I reach for after a show; it's become part of how I decompress. They're gentle and refreshing, and make it easy to reset my skin after a performance.' '[This] is my favorite Loved01 product. It's always with me. It keeps my skin hydrated no matter the climate, whether I'm in a backstage dressing room or on a long-haul flight. It's rich, deeply hydrating, and has a whipped texture that makes moisturization feel like a moment of self-care.' 'I never travel without our new Brightening Serum. It's gentle but effective, with a cooling steel rollerball that gives a spa-like feel. I use it morning and night to help even out my skin tone and texture, and I love that it protects my skin barrier while keeping the routine low-maintenance.' Skincare is one of the ways I stay grounded on tour. It's not just about how I look—it's about taking a moment to take care of myself, even in the middle of everything else going on. Loved01 Upgrade Trio | $42 So, what's in the pipeline for Loved01 later this year? They're excited to continue experimenting with fragrance. After the success of their original Hand Wash, they launched it in a new scent, 'Just Because,' which Legend describes as floral, herbaceous, and designed to capture the emotion of those quiet, thoughtful gestures." He notes that the response to the new scent has been incredible and inspiring the brand to discover new ways to explore incorporating natural fragrances. He also shared that Loved01's wipes have seen a lot of, well, love! 'They've become a daily go-to for many - perfect for post-workout, travel, or quick refreshes throughout the day.' The brand recently launched their Soothing Wipes as a gentler option, and they're 'already developing new innovations to expand that category further.' No matter what new product is up next, Legend stresses that 'what's next will always be guided by purpose. We'll continue building intentionally, offering functional, sensorial products that make high-quality, head-to-toe care more accessible to more people.' And if that means I'm one step closer to flawless skin like Legend's, I can't wait to see what's next.
