More Than Friends? Pedro Pascal And 'Friends' Actress Spotted At Intimate Dinner

More Than Friends? Pedro Pascal And 'Friends' Actress Spotted At Intimate Dinner

Yahoo25-03-2025

Could Hollywood have a new power couple? Pedro Pascal and Jennifer Aniston ignited dating rumors over the weekend after being spotted sharing a cozy three-hour dinner together in West Hollywood.
Aniston hasn't gone public with a relationship since her split from Justin Theroux in 2018. She was previously married to Brad Pitt in the early 2000s.
Meanwhile, Pedro Pascal has kept his personal life relatively under wraps, but he's previously been linked to actresses Maria Dizzia, Lena Headey, and Robin Tunney.
The duo were photographed leaving the Tower Bar at the iconic Sunset Tower Hotel on Saturday night, looking effortlessly stylish and deeply engaged in conversation outside the valet.
Aniston kept her signature cool-girl aesthetic intact with a black leather vest layered over a crisp white tee, paired with cuffed black pants and boots. Pascal was equally fashionable in a leather jacket, denim jeans, and loafers.
The outing sent social media into a frenzy. 'I'M HERE FOR THIS,' one fan declared on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, while another wrote, "What a hot pairing!"
Meanwhile, another speculated that Pascal's presence could mean a guest spot on Aniston and Reese Witherspoon's Apple TV+ hit, "The Morning Show."
Page Six first shared photos of Aniston and Pascal's latest outing.
Fueling speculation further, fans resurfaced a flirty red carpet moment between the two at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards. In the viral clip, Pascal reached for Aniston's hand, prompting her to clasp his tightly and look straight into the camera, mouthing, 'Oh, my God.'
At the time, Witherspoon had been hyping a potential role for Pascal on "The Morning Show," telling him there was 'a really good part' he'd be perfect for.
Pascal quickly played along. 'Pitch it to me now,' he said. 'I'm in. I'll be waiting to hear from my agents. Draw it up. Send me a script. Or just pitch it to me in the room.'
When a reporter jokingly suggested he might be a love interest, the "Last of Us" star quipped, 'I sleep with everyone on the show,' to which Aniston cheekily added, 'It's kind of real life.'
Jennifer Aniston is stepping back into the spotlight as Alex Levy for Season 4 of "The Morning Show," and she's not alone. The Emmy winner has already been spotted filming scenes for the hit Apple TV+ series.
Aniston was seen on set in Los Angeles late last year, filming a night scene alongside longtime co-star Karen Pittman who plays the sharp and unflinching Mia Jordan. The two actresses were photographed huddled close together between takes, adding fuel to speculation that this season will see their characters forge even deeper bonds.
While Aniston has been busy with "The Morning Show," Pedro Pascal recently made headlines for his new Apple commercial.
In a whimsical new five-and-a-half-minute commercial titled "Someday," directed by acclaimed filmmaker Spike Jonze, Pascal plays a heartbroken man navigating life post-breakup. The ad spotlights Apple's AirPods Pro 4 and their Active Noise Cancellation feature, which becomes the turning point in the character's emotional journey.
Once Pascal's character turns on the noise-canceling function, the world around him shifts dramatically. A gray, wintry city transforms into a kaleidoscope of color and movement, flower petals swirl, the mood lightens, and strangers become dance partners in an urban fairytale.
At the heart of the transformation is music and motion, choreographed by Tanisha Scott, known for her work with megastars like Rihanna and Beyoncé.
In one surreal sequence, Pascal's character even has an out-of-body experience, catching a glimpse of his happier self dancing freely through the streets. It's a visual metaphor for healing, from sorrow to self-expression, all triggered by the immersive sound of his AirPods.
The ad begins with the melancholic tones of Guitarricadelafuente's 'Conticinio' and crescendos into the high-energy track 'Perfect' by Sam i (featuring Tropkillaz, Bia, and MC Pikachu), with a hypnotic hook, 'You're perfect / Now work it.' In one standout moment, Pascal himself chants along with the beat, mid-dance.

And the Emmy goes to ... Phillies star Trea Turner? Documentary on Turner's ovation wins Emmy Award

PHILADELPHIA -- And the Emmy goes to ... Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner? Turner already won an NL batting title and a World Series championship ring in his 11-year MLB career. How about adding an Emmy Award to that trophy case? 'Trea Turner's an Emmy winner, absolutely,' sports documentary producer Kyle Thrash said. 'He definitely held it up like he owned it.' Turner may not actually have the award in hand to keep for good, but he got to hoist the real deal ahead of Friday's game against Toronto in a short celebration for the Emmy won for a best sports short documentary produced on the 2023 standing ovation credited with turning around his season. 'The Turnaround' won a sports Emmy in May and Thrash and Phillies fan Jon McCann — whose personal struggles with mental health and kinship with Turner were the heart of the film — attended the game to show off their new bling to Turner. 'Cuz, we did it, huh?! 'McCann said as he shook Turner's hand on the field after batting practice. 'Trea Turner, we share an Emmy together.' Turner read the inscription at the bottom of the Emmy and promised the fans he would wave to them in section 301 if he stole a base in Friday's game. 'We get to bring a trophy back to the ballpark tonight and share it with so many people that were involved in the standing ovation. It's pretty incredible,' Thrash said. Philly sports fans — often billed as some of the worst in sports — gave a slumping Turner standing ovations in at-bats throughout the weekend in an August 2023 series to show he had their full support. Turner was in the first season of an 11-year, $300 million deal with the Phillies but was batting just .238 with 11 home runs and 39 RBIs. He was even dropped to eighth in the batting order headed into that series against Kansas City. In three games over the weekend against the Royals, Turner went 4 for 12 with two doubles, a home run and five RBIs and he would eventually help lead the Phillies to the playoffs. Turner later helped pay for 'Thank You, Philly" digital billboards in the greater Philadelphia area. The documentary was produced by Higher Ground, the media company founded by former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama McCann, also known as 'The Philly Captain," is a Philadelphia based YouTuber and was one of the fans — along with a Philly sports talk radio host — credited with rallying the fans to get behind Turner. 'During the ceremony, one of the award presenters said, 'When you go up against the Olympics, you lose.' So I kind of thought we already lost,' McCann said. 'We didn't. It was a great, great shock.'

People deletes Olivia Munn story after Ms. Rachel comments draw 'threats'

In a rare move, People magazine deleted a story from its website on Wednesday after it triggered 'violent' threats against its subject, the actress Olivia Munn, and her family. The story was about Munn's distaste for children's television and bore a headline specifically citing the popular YouTuber Ms. Rachel — which apparently triggered some fans. 'There is no excuse for these abhorrent attacks, and we will always prioritize safety above all else,' the publication acknowledged in a statement explaining the decision to remove a story. It's an unusual move for any news outlet to delete, rather than amend or update, a story — even People, which is generally considered a friendly go-to outlet for celebrities to share their stories. When asked for further information about removing the article, a People representative pointed back to its original statement. The post was drawn from the magazine's recent interview with Munn for a cover story, which published online June 4. The 44-year-old actress, who was promoting her new Apple TV+ series, talked about life with her husband, 42-year-old comedian John Mulaney, their children — a 3-year-old boy and 8-month-old girl — as well as her 2023 breast cancer diagnosis. People also published several separate exclusive items using material from the Munn interview, including one in which she discussed her fertility treatments, and another post headlined, 'Olivia Munn Doesn't Let Her Kids Watch Ms. Rachel. Here's Why.' In the story, according to sites that repeated quotes from it before it was deleted, Munn shared her irritation with children's TV programming. She specifically cited Ms. Rachel, a major celebrity to young children and their parents. 'I know kids love [Ms. Rachel], but the thing is, if I can't watch it, I'm not going to spend the rest of my life going crazy,' Munn said, and added she was not a fan of 'Blue's Clues' or 'Spider-Man' either. (She did admit a tolerance for 'Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood,' because it helped her son prepare for the arrival of a baby sister.) However, the framing of the People headline drew attention on social media, especially given that Ms. Rachel, whose full name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, has been in the news for speaking out about the plight of children in Gaza — though it's unclear if this topic was even addressed in the People story. All of this was surely heightened by the strong feelings many fans harbor about Mulaney and Munn's relationship, and its timing relative to his divorce from an artist, Anna Marie Tendler, with her own significant social media following. Various publications and social media accounts started regurgitating Munn's comments, and Accurso herself expressed disappointment when she left a comment on People's Instagram post, now disappeared as well: 'WHO CARES?! I'd rather you cover me advocating for kids in Gaza who are literally starving, largest cohort of child amputees in modern history, thousands & thousands killed — no medical care, no education, no homes… do better!!!' Accurso wrote, according to multiple reports. 'Not against [Munn] at all and don't care that she doesn't want to watch the show — all my love to her and her family — disappointed in the outlets.' Later, she wrote on her own Instagram account that she and Munn had spoken and were on good terms. 'Please be kind to Olivia & her precious family,' Accurso wrote. 'I don't believe in hate, attacks or hurtful comments.' Munn also criticized the coverage. 'To Ms Rachel and your fans, I hear and respect the passion behind your support. I never anticipated the media would single out one small thing I said and distort it like they have,' she wrote in an Instagram story earlier this week. 'Every parent understands the importance of finding meaningful programming that helps us connect with our kids. I don't want something taken out of context to be a moment that steals even a minute of joy for anyone.' Mulaney weighed in Wednesday, calling for a stop to the 'violent and threatening' comments that Munn had been receiving in online comments and direct messages. 'An innocent comment my wife Olivia Munn made about what children's programs we like has somehow — unbelievably — been conflated with not caring about the deaths of children in Gaza,' he posted on Instagram. 'The people doing this are so wildly out of line and so unhelpful to any conversation. You took a nothing comment to a dark and dangerous place. This kind of behavior isn't activism.' Accurso has been creating educational children's content on YouTube, where she has more than 15.2 million subscribers, since 2019. With the help of silly and cheerful music, Ms. Rachel teaches children how to spell and use the bathroom, while also offering lessons on emotional support. Outside of her YouTube show, Accurso has been outspoken about Gaza, which led to backlash from right-wing media commentators and StopAntisemitism, a prominent pro-Israel group, which called on the U.S. attorney general to investigate the children's entertainer. (Accurso said earlier this month that she stands against 'all forms of hate.') But, Accurso told WBUR, 'I wouldn't be Ms. Rachel if I didn't deeply care about all kids. And I would risk everything, and I will risk my career over and over to stand up for them.'

AMC Says New NCM Preshow Ads Don't 'Negatively Influence Moviegoing Habits'

Word got out today that the No. 1 exhibition circuit, AMC Theatres, will start running more advertising during their pre-shows beginning July 1. Why is this a big deal? Bigger than the taxation of trade routes? Because AMC close to six years ago said it wouldn't partake in National CineMedia's new ad spots. At the time, AMC believed more ads would make moviegoers mad. More from Deadline Paramount Fires WPP Media, Its Longtime Agency Of Record, In Cost-Saving Move Amid Skydance Merger Review Tastes Great, Less Filling? Report On Meta Plan For Cheaper, Fully AI-Made Ads Boosts Tech Giant's Stock As Media Agency Shares Slump 'And Just Like That' Companion Series Features Genesis Tie-In As WBD Ad Sales Hits The Gas On IP Strategy Well, AMC has changed course. Other rivals are already running longer ads during their pre-shows. Exhibition can't survive on film rentals alone. Essentially, AMC has hammered a deal with National CineMedia Inc. to run the spots during each movie's pre-shows. National CineMedia is the ad network in major circuits. There's a 'platinum spot' that will be shown on screens just prior to a movie's start. AMC will reportedly get a cut of the ad sales. Said an AMC spokesperson, 'For the past five years, AMC has sought out crucial revenue that is not reliant on the increase of base ticket prices. We've done this through more and better moviegoing enhancements like our significant expansion of PLFs, a greater selection of food and beverage offerings, and the introduction of movie-going merchandise like popcorn buckets and other collectable concession vessels. During that same time, others in our industry have taken in revenue through their partnership with NCM, via these so-called Platinum Spots.' They added, 'While AMC was initially reluctant to bring this to our theatres, our competitors have fully participated for more than five years without any direct impact to their attendance. This is a strong indication that this NCM preshow initiative does not negatively influence moviegoing habits. Our participation delivers us vital revenue as we continue on our recovery path and allows us to continue offering significant value on ticket prices through initiatives like Discount Tuesday, 20% off matinee pricing, and the upcoming 50% off Wednesday ticketing program.' Bloomberg first had the story about AMC's pre-show ads.
