Jennifer Lawrence embraces motherhood again as she welcomes baby No. 2
LOS ANGELES, April 1: Jennifer Lawrence has welcomed her second child with her husband, Cooke Maroney. The exciting news was confirmed by a source to People on Tuesday, following weeks of speculation regarding the Oscar-winning actress's quiet delivery.
At this time, details about the baby's sex, name, or birth date remain private. Lawrence, 34, and Maroney, 40, who married in October 2019, are already parents to their three-year-old son, Cy.
The No Hard Feelings actress first made her second pregnancy public in October 2024 when her representative confirmed the news to Vogue.
Lawrence, who hails from Indian Hills, Kentucky, and Maroney, the art gallery director at Gladstone Gallery in New York City since 2022, tied the knot at the Belcourt Mansion in Newport, Rhode Island.
Though her due date was initially speculated to be in early spring, a source close to the actress hinted in October that her son Cy would turn three around the time the new baby arrived. Cy was born in February 2022, meaning he celebrated his third birthday last month.
A source close to the family previously shared, 'She loves being a mom. She's thrilled to be pregnant again. It feels like the perfect timing to her. Her son will be 3 when the new baby arrives.'
In a 2022 interview with Vogue, Lawrence spoke about the profound joy of becoming a mother for the first time. She described the birth of Cy as a transformative moment, saying, 'It felt like my whole life had started over. I just stared. I was just so in love. I also fell in love with all babies everywhere. Newborns are just so amazing.'
She continued, 'I mean the euphoria of Cy is just — Jesus, it's impossible. My heart has stretched to a capacity that I didn't know about. I include my husband in that.'
As Lawrence embraces motherhood, she's also preparing to promote her new film Die My Love. The movie, which co-stars Robert Pattinson, is directed by acclaimed Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay. The story tackles postpartum depression and is based on Ariana Harwicz's 2019 novel of the same name. It marks Ramsay's first film since You Were Never Really Here in 2017.
The director shared that Lawrence had a strong connection to the intense material, noting that the film deals with postnatal depression and bipolar disorder. Ramsay explained, "Lawrence just really responded to the material, which is hardcore in some ways, because it's about postnatal depression and bipolar [disorder]. But it's funny as well. Well, I've made it funny. I think I've made it funny. I hope I've made it funny."
Set in rural America, Die My Love follows Lawrence's character as she struggles with the challenges of motherhood, mental health, and her relationships. Her character is torn between her husband, played by Pattinson, and her lover, portrayed by LaKeith Stanfield.

Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin call it quits after nearly 8 years: ‘It feels final this time'
LOS ANGELES, June 5: Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have reportedly ended their nearly eight-year on-and-off relationship, multiple sources tell People. "It feels final this time," one source said about the split. Representatives for both Johnson and Martin did not respond to requests for comment. The actress, 35, known for her role in The Materialists, and Coldplay's lead singer, 48, were first linked romantically in 2017. They were recently seen together in Malibu on May 16, just two weeks ago. Earlier this year in January, the couple was also spotted holding hands in India while Martin was on tour. In March 2024, an insider revealed to People that Johnson and Martin had been engaged for "years," after engagement rumors first surfaced in 2020. However, they were reportedly 'in no rush to get married' at that time. When rumors of a breakup emerged in August 2024, a representative for Johnson denied the claims, stating the couple was "happily together." A source added, "Sure, they've had issues and taken breaks in the past, but things are great now. They both love their careers. They are balancing things the best they can." The couple has largely kept their relationship private, but in June 2024, a source noted that despite their "ups and downs," they were 'definitely back on.' Johnson has spoken warmly about her role in the lives of Martin's two children with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, son Moses and daughter Apple, now 19 and 21. "I love those kids like my life depends on it," Johnson told Bustle. "With all my heart." She also shared her admiration for watching Martin perform, saying, "I don't know. I love watching him. I could watch him every day. I don't know how to explain it. I feel like, I don't know... I'm watching my most favorite being do his most favorite thing." As Johnson promotes her upcoming film Materialists, in which she stars alongside Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, she reflected on relationships in an interview with the Los Angeles Times published June 4. "For a long time we've all been so quick to judge relationships or how they should happen, how they should exist in the world. When people should get married. Divorce is bad. All these things that actually, if you think about it, why is divorce bad?" she said. "Why do people have to get married or at a certain age or only once? Why? It doesn't matter."

'The Matrix is everywhere': Cinema bets on immersion
In a Los Angeles theater, a trench coat-wearing Neo bends backwards to dodge bullets that spiral over the viewer's head, as the sound of gunfire erupts from everywhere. This new immersive experience is designed to be a red pill moment that will get film fans off their couches at a time when the movie industry is desperate to bring back audiences. Cosm, which has venues in Los Angeles and Dallas, is launching its dome-style screen and 3D sets in June with a "shared reality" version of "The Matrix," the cult 1999 film starring Keanu Reeves as a man who suddenly learns his world is a fiction. "We believe the future will be more immersive and more experiential," said Cosm president Jeb Terry at a recent preview screening. "It's trying to create an additive, a new experience, ideally non-cannibalistic, so that the industry can continue to thrive across all formats." Cinema audiences were already dwindling when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, shuttering theaters at a time when streaming was exploding. With ever bigger and better TVs available for the home, the challenge for theater owners is to offer something that movie buffs cannot get in their living room. Boxes of "The Matrix" popcorn for guests are seen during the first shared reality screening of the movie "The Matrix" on an immersive dome screen inside Cosm Los Angeles at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California. - AFP photos Computer code surrounds viewers during the first shared reality screening of the movie "The Matrix".

Prestige projects like Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible -- The Final Reckoning" or Christopher Nolan's Oscar-winning "Oppenheimer" increasingly opt for the huge screens and superior film quality of IMAX. But Cosm and other projects like it want to go one step further, collaborating with designers who have worked with Cirque du Soleil to create an environment in which the viewer feels like they are inside the film. For filmmakers, it's all about how you place the cameras and where you capture the sound, said Jay Rinsky, founder of Little Cinema, a creative studio specializing in immersive experiences. "We create sets like the Parisian opera, let the movie be the singer, follow the tone, highlight the emotions... through light, through production design, through 3D environments," he said. The approach, he said, felt particularly well suited to "The Matrix," which he called "a masterpiece of cinema, but done as a rectangle."

Jeb Terry, President and CEO of Cosm, looks up at the dome while speaking after the first shared reality screening of the movie "The Matrix". For the uninitiated: Reeves's Neo is a computer hacker who starts poking around in a life that doesn't quite seem to fit. A mysterious Laurence Fishburne offers him a blue pill that will leave him where he is, or a red pill that will show him he is a slave whose body is being farmed by AI machines while his conscious lives in a computer simulation. There follows much gunfire, lots of martial arts and some mysticism, along with a romance between Neo and Trinity, played by the leather-clad Carrie-Anne Moss. "The Matrix" in shared reality kicks off with a choice of cocktails -- blue or red, of course -- which are consumed as the audience sits surrounded by high-definition screens. Shifting perspectives place the viewer inside Neo's office cubicle, or seemingly in peril. "They're sometimes inside the character's head," said Rinsky. "The world changes as you look up and down for trucks coming at you." The result impressed those who were at the preview screening. "It just did feel like an experience," influencer Vince Rossi told AFP. "It felt like you're at a theme park for a movie almost."—AFP

‘M*A*S*H' actress Loretta Swit dies: Publicist
Actress Loretta Swit attends the 2018 Farm Sanctuary on the Hudson Gala at Pier 60 ) on October 4, 2018 in New York City. - AFP Loretta Swit, the US actress who brought Major Margaret 'Hot Lips' Houlihan to life in the seminal Korean War comedy series 'M*A*S*H' has died. She was 87. Swit who played the high-strung but flirty Houlihan for the entire TV run of the smash series, was nominated for 10 Emmy awards for her work, winning two of them. Her death, at her home in Manhattan, was announced by her publicist, who said she was believed to have died of natural causes. 'M*A*S*H,' which sprang from an Oscar-winning 1970 film, aired initially in 1972 and was a hit until it finished in 1983. The comedy was set in a field hospital for the US Army during the Korean War, and starred Alan Alda as Benjamin 'Hawkeye' Pierce. The series tackled a range of issues from the tragic to the light-hearted, and was sometimes seen as a satire on US involvement in Vietnam -- a war that was still happening when it first began airing. 'Few actresses captured the imagination of generations of television viewers with the certainty and charm of Loretta Swit,' a statement from publicist Harlan Boll said. 'As the quick-witted, impassioned Major Margaret Houlihan... Ms. Swit became an American icon.' Alongside an extensive stage repertoire, Swit appeared in over 25 movies, including playing Christine Cagney in the TV movie that became the long-running cop show 'Cagney and Lacey.' Obligations to the makers of 'M*A*S*H' meant she could not continue into the TV series' lengthy run, and the role was ultimately filled instead by Sharon Gless. Other movies during Swit's career included 'Race With the Devil,' a 1975 horror starring Peter Fonda, and 1972's 'Stand Up and Be Counted' with Jacqueline Bisset. - AFP
