Gwyneth Paltrow talks steamy scenes with Timothée Chalamet
Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow is making a major return to acting in Josh Safdie's upcoming A24 film, Marty Supreme.
Starring alongside Timothée Chalamet, Paltrow plays the wife of a rival professional in a high-stakes ping-pong underworld. She recently shared details about the film's numerous intimate scenes and her experience working with an intimacy coordinator for the first time.
'We have a lot of sex in this movie,' Paltrow told Vanity Fair. 'There's a lot—a lot.'
The actress admitted she was unfamiliar with intimacy coordinators, a now-standard industry role that ensures actors feel comfortable during intimate scenes. While filming, she opted for a more traditional approach. 'I'm from the era where you get naked, you get in bed, and the camera's on,' she explained. 'I think we're good. You can step a little bit back.'
Paltrow praised Chalamet, calling him 'a thinking man's sex symbol' and commending his professionalism. 'He's a very polite, properly raised man who takes his work seriously and is a fun partner,' she said.
Marty Supreme, set for release on December 25, 2025, marks Paltrow's first major acting role since 2010's Country Strong. Encouraged by longtime friend Cameron Diaz, who also recently returned to acting, Paltrow embraced the challenge. 'I've gone through a lot since the last time I was on screen in a real way,' she reflected.
Director Josh Safdie praised Paltrow's on-screen presence, stating, 'She's a movie star in the cosmic sense. Her absence has lent a vulnerability to her abilities.'

Sherri Shepherd reveals identity of actress in tense Broadway confrontation
Sherri Shepherd has revealed that actress Nia Long was the celebrity involved in a tense confrontation during the Broadway opening night of Othello in March—an incident the talk show host previously mentioned without naming names. In a new interview on The Breakfast Club, the 58-year-old comedian and television personality shared that Long allegedly grabbed her at the event and accused her of "shading" her. 'It was Nia Long. I don't know who she had me confused with,' Shepherd said. 'The only time I've ever talked about Nia was when she went through a breakup after infidelity, and I supported her. I've never had a problem with her.' Shepherd first hinted at the altercation earlier this year, recounting on her talk show that the unexpected exchange left her shaken. During the event, she said she waited in the restroom at intermission, hoping to settle the misunderstanding. 'You don't get to pull me and turn me around like we're in a daggone cartoon and then walk away,' she recalled. Long, however, did not return to speak with her. As a longtime stand-up comic, Shepherd explained that she often incorporates real-life moments into her material. 'Everything that happens in my life is material for me. And my comedy stage is my talk show,' she said. She also clarified that she never initially named Long and emphasized that many women were present that night. While she acknowledged feeling disrespected by being physically grabbed, the Emmy-winning host says she bears no grudge. 'I'd love to talk to her and just clear it up,' she said. 'I'm cool. It's done.' Long has yet to publicly address the alleged encounter.

A24 has released the full trailer for Eddington, a new film by Ari Aster, best known for Hereditary and Midsommar. Slated for release on July 18, the film is set during the tumultuous summer of 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the politically charged atmosphere following the murder of George Floyd. The movie follows a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and the town's mayor (Pedro Pascal), with tensions escalating in the wake of a contentious mayoral race. The trailer reveals a blend of social distancing, protests, and conspiracy theories, along with explosive action scenes, gunfights, and a mysterious corporate plane looming over the desert. Eddington draws inspiration from contemporary America's struggles, offering a satirical look at the complex and volatile period, and features a strong ensemble cast including Austin Butler, Emma Stone, Luke Grimes, and Deirdre O'Connell. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, where it received a nearly seven-minute standing ovation. Critics have praised Aster for his willingness to tackle the challenges of modern-day America, calling the film a provocative reflection on recent history. Despite its divisive reception, the film continues to draw attention for its bold exploration of social and political issues. Eddington is Aster's fourth feature, following Beau Is Afraid (2023). The film is produced by A24, with Aster and Lars Knudsen serving as producers under their Square Peg Banner. The film hits theaters on July 18.

Photo: File Maybe Happy Ending, a sweet and futuristic story that follows two obsolete helper robots as they navigate isolation, affection, and what it means to be human, was the big musical winner at the Tony Awards on Sunday, capping a record-grossing post-pandemic Broadway theatre season. The show won three big awards, including best musical. Darren Criss won his first Tony for best leading actor in a musical for his role as the innocent Oliver, and its director Michael Arden won the award for best director of a musical. The modern reimagining of Andrew Lloyd Webber's classic Sunset Blvd. also won big, taking awards for best revival of a musical and for Nicole Scherzinger, who stars as the faded movie star Norma Desmond, won best actress in a musical. The Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Purpose won the best play award. Written by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, the play follows a family whose carefully constructed legacy unravels when their youngest son returns home with an unexpected guest, exposing buried secrets and faith-based conflict. Host Cynthia Erivo, the Wicked film star, opened the show at Radio City Music Hall with a walk to the stage from the dressing room that mimicked actor Tom Francis' viral post-intermission live outdoor Manhattan stroll as he sings the title song in Sunset Blvd. Buoyed by a post-pandemic rebound, the 2024-25 season grossed a record $1.89 billion in revenue and drew 14.7 million attendees, the Broadway League said. Cole Escola won the Tony for best lead actor in a play for his creation Oh, Mary! The show, Escola's reimagining of Mary Todd Lincoln's life and relationship with husband Abraham Lincoln, blends historical satire with absurd camp. The show also earned Sam Pinkleton the Tony for best director of a play. TV's Succession star Sarah Snook, who made her Broadway debut this season, won the award for best leading actress in a play for her tour-de-force performance of more than two dozen roles in The Picture of Dorian Gray. The original cast of Hamilton, including the show's creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, reunited to perform an electric medley in honour of the musical's 10th anniversary. The number also served as a reintroduction to Leslie Odom Jr as Aaron Burr, a role he will resume in the production later this year for a limited time. Francis Jue won best actor in a featured role in a play for Yellow Face. He thanked the Asian American actors who came before him and addressed the next generation: "This community sees you and I hope that encourages you to be brave, and to dream and to dream big."
