Jimmy Fallon is a ‘Soul Man' (and very out of breath!) during ‘SNL50: The Homecoming Concert'

Yahoo15-02-2025

Jimmy Fallon opened the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert on Friday night with a live rendition of 'Soul Man,' the song made famous by the Blues Brothers, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, who starred in the first several seasons of Saturday Night Live. 'We are coming to you live from Radio City Music Hall, and I am out of breath!' Fallon shouted to the crowd of A-listers.

'Where you're seated is based on how much Lorne [Michaels] loves you,' he joked. 'I was so honored when the assistant to Lorne's assistant asked me to host tonight.' The current Tonight Show host was chosen to emcee this iconic event because 'it's awards season, which means I've got nothing going on right now.'
Just like SNL, Fallon turned 50 this year, and they both 'peaked around 25,' he deadpanned. Fallon originally starred on SNL from 1998 to 2004.
Fallon instructed the cameras to turn around and show the audience members, all of whom had a special connection to Saturday Night Live, a television staple since 1975. The Roots accompanied Fallon during his 'Soul Man' performance, which is fitting since they're by his side every night on The Tonight Show.

Scarlett Johansson Says Dating Men Outside of Hollywood Caused 'Jealousy' Since Actors Get 'Very Intimate'

NEED TO KNOW Scarlett Johansson discussed strains in relationships with people who don't work as actors "I've had serious relationships with people that were not in the industry, and I found one of the challenges was that the person had no idea of what I needed to do my job," she said Johansson is married to Saturday Night Live's Colin Jost, and she was previously married to Ryan Reynolds and Romain Dauriac Scarlett Johansson is reflecting on relationship strains caused by dating someone outside the entertainment industry. During Johansson's Interview magazine conversation with Stranger Things and Thunderbolts* star David Harbour published on Tuesday, June 10, the actors discussed their proclivities toward dating actors and artists rather than "normal people," as Harbour, 50, put it. Advertisement "I've had serious relationships with people that were not in the industry, and I found one of the challenges was that the person had no idea of what I needed to do my job," said Johansson, 40. "Obviously, if I was dating an oncologist, I wouldn't know what they needed to do for their job. But it's not so abstract." Johansson shares son Cosmo, 3, with husband Colin Jost and daughter Rose, 10, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac. She also noted that romantic relationships between actors and those who do not work in entertainment sometimes see tensions rise due to the nature of actors' jobs. "I also think it's easy to create a lot of jealousy when a person is not involved in the industry, because actors by nature are very free-spirited and they create very intimate relationships with people at work," she said. "They can be loyal to a partner and also very engaged in all these other kinds of relationships, and I think it can be a blurry line for some people."

She was also married to Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2011. Jamie McCarthy/WireImage Scarlett Johansson on May 28, 2025 Scarlett Johansson on May 28, 2025 "When I'm working, and you're probably like this too, I'm pretty hermetic," Johansson told Harbour during the Interview conversation. "If I'm in a town, I like to go to the little restaurant and movie theater, but I don't like a lot of variation. I like things to be, I don't want to say rigorous, but you want a routine." Johansson and Jost recently appeared together at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in support of Johansson's directorial debut Eleanor the Great. She most recently appeared on the big screen in Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme, and will star in Jurassic World Rebirth, in theaters July 2. Read the original article on People

(Peacock via AP) NEW YORK (AP) — The daughter of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann believes he 'most likely' committed the infamous killings in New York even as her mother steadfastly defends her ex-husband's innocence in a new documentary released Tuesday. The admission from Victoria Heuermann isn't made on camera but through a statement from producers near the end of 'The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets,' a three-part documentary on NBC's streaming service Peacock. Advertisement 'A week before the series release, Victoria Heuermann told the producers that based on publicly available facts that have been presented and explained to her, she now believes her father is most likely the Gilgo Beach killer,' reads a statement at the close of the final episode of the documentary, which was produced by musician 50 Cent's production company, G-Unit Film and Television. Bob Macedonio, an attorney for Heuermann's now ex-wife, Asa Ellerup, said in a statement after the documentary's release that 'time will only tell' whether his client will ever accept that her husband may have been a serial killer. Heuermann's lawyer didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment. The Manhattan architect has been charged with killing seven women, most of them sex workers, and dumping their bodies on a desolate parkway not far from Gilgo Beach on Long Island, some 50 miles (80 kilometers) from Manhattan. Advertisement He has pleaded not guilty and is due back in Riverhead court June 17 as a judge continues to weigh whether to allow key DNA evidence into the trial. In the documentary, Victoria Heuermann struggles to reconcile her childhood memories with the portrait of the killer described by authorities. She says her father was around the family '90% of the time' and was never violent toward any of them. At the same time, Victoria Heuermann acknowledged there were times when he stayed home while the family went on vacation and that she was around 10 to 13 years old when the killings happened. Prosecutors say Heuerman committed some of the killings in the basement while his family was out of town. Advertisement 'Whether or not I believe my dad did it or not, I'm on the fence about that,' said the now 28-year-old. 'Part of me thinks he didn't do it, but at the same time, I don't know, he could have just totally had a double life.' Ellerup, for her part, maintained she saw no 'abnormal behavior' in their nearly three decades of marriage. She dismissed a computer file prosecutors claim is a 'blueprint' of his crimes as 'absurd.' The document features a series of checklists for before, during and after a killing, such as a 'body prep' checklist that includes among other items a note to 'remove head and hands.' Advertisement Ellerup also shrugged off other evidence prosecutors have enumerated in court documents, including a vast collection of bondage and torture pornography found on electronic devices seized from their home, and hairs linked to Heuermann that were recovered on most of the victims' bodies. At the same time, she revealed that in July 2009, around the time one of his alleged victims went missing, Heuermann suddenly renovated a bathroom while she and their two children were on vacation for weeks to visit her family in Iceland. But she noted her former husband eventually joined the family for their final week of their trip. 'My husband, he's a family man. He's my hero,' Ellerup said. 'What I want to say to him is, 'I love you, no matter what.'' Ellerup divorced Heuermann after his arrest in 2023. But in the documentary, Victoria Heuermann says the separation was for financial reasons to protect the family's assets. Advertisement Indeed, the mother and daughter have been regularly attending court hearings with their attorney. The filmmakers even captured them speaking to Heuermann by phone from jail. A Peacock spokesperson said Ellerup was paid a location fee and a licensing fee for use of family archive materials, although the payments cannot go toward the defendant or his defense funds. The family, which also includes Ellerup's adult son from a prior marriage, is planning to put up its notoriously ramshackle house in well-to-do Massapequa Park for sale as they look to move to a property they own in South Carolina. ___ Follow Philip Marcelo on X: @philmarcelo.
