John Krasinski Didn't Visit Emily Blunt On Oppenheimer Set
If you can believe it, it's almost been two years since the release of Oppenheimer — and it's possible that no one had more fun promoting that movie than John Krasinski.
I know what you're thinking. John Krasinski wasn't in that movie. And you'd be correct. However, his wife, Emily Blunt, was, which meant John got the joy of tagging along with the cast on part of the press tour, hanging out with the likes of Cillian Murphy, Matt Damon, and Robert Downey Jr. for a summer.
And though he evidently had a great time as an honorary member of the Oppenheimer crew, John recently said he had no desire to visit Emily on set while they were actually making the movie — but for good reason.
John and Natalie Portman are currently promoting their new movie, Fountain of Youth, and during a recent interview with Kevin McCarthy, John revealed that he never visited Emily on the Oppenheimer set because he's just too much of a Christopher Nolan fan. 'He's as big as it gets for me. There's several directors who I'd probably would never go to their sets,' he added, joking that his Catholic guilt would be telling him: 'I'm not supposed to be here.'
'Also, I don't wanna see how the sausage is made,' John explained. 'I will watch their movies and I love not seeing all the magic being made.'
Well, there was certainly no shortage of magic on the Oppenheimer set, that's for sure. Emily earned a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her performance, and the film went on to win seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Cillian, and Best Supporting Actor for RDJ.
Off the back of his Oscar sweep, Nolan has another big project in the works: an adaptation of The Odyssey starring Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, and Anne Hathaway, just to name a few.
Filming has been underway for some time now, and despite John's apprehensions about watching Nolan at work, he said he recently tried to 'blackmail' his good friend Matt to get him onto the set. 'He didn't [get me in],' he joked, 'and I'll never forgive him for it.'
With a cast that good, I'd risk it all to be on The Odyssey set, too. You can find John and Natalie's interview here.

Lauren Sanchez Does Billionaire Bloomcore in Expensive Ab-Baring Look for Bachelorette Weekend in Paris
Lauren Sánchez is in Paris for her star-studded bachelorette weekend, and it seems everything is coming up roses ahead of her June wedding to Amazon founder (and billionaire) Jeff Bezos. When Sánchez, 55, stepped out for brunch on Friday, May 16, alongside Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry and other celebrity gal pals, she leaned into the Bloomcore aesthetic in a white Oscar de la Renta crop top and miniskirt with multicolored 3D florals. The glamorous journalist, who reportedly got engaged to Bezos, 61, in 2023, literally blossomed in the designer co-ord set plucked right off the Pre-Fall 2025 runway. The top ($1,590) and skirt ($2,290) were modeled with a matching lady jacket ($4,290), but Sánchez eschewed the latter — all the better to show off her toned arms and taut, tan midriff. Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry and More Stars Celebrate Lauren Sanchez's Bachelorette Party in Paris Sánchez (and Bezos, for that matter) are Fashion Week front-row regulars at Oscar de la Renta, Dolce & Gabbana and more luxury labels, so it felt fitting that the blushing bride-to-be would have perhaps the most coveted new set from the storied fashion house. As Oscar de la Renta Co-Creative Directors Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim described in the season's show notes, the Pre-Fall 2025 offering celebrates 'the timeless beauty of cherry blossoms,' which they aptly dubbed the 'hero flower' of the collection, which manifests itself in intricately embroidered laser-cut petals, as seen on Sánchez's flirty set on Friday in the City of Love. The ensemble seamlessly married Oscar de la Renta's exquisite craftsmanship and signature floral motifs with the cherry blossom, a flower that also symbolizes new beginnings (hint, hint!). Naturally, Sánchez moved the bloom to a new realm of luxury and elegance by carrying not the coordinating clutch from the collection but an adorable pink vintage Chanel Top Handle Crush Flap Bag, circa 2023, which just so happens to be the same year that Bezos proposed. Kim Kardashian and Lauren Sanchez Paid $200K Each for 1 Balenciaga Dress at Auction The mix of prints was a perfect match, and perhaps a sweet, stylish nod to her future husband before they tie the knot at the end of June in Venice, Italy.

Kate Winslet Covered Daughter Mia's Eyes During Titanic Sex Scene
's daughter, Mia Threapleton, has made a surprising confession: she has never watched Titanic in its entirety. The 24-year-old actress, who is following in her Oscar-winning mother's footsteps, revealed the secret reason why she couldn't finish the epic romance that catapulted Winslet to stardom. In a recent candid interview with Defined, Kate Winslet's daughter Mia Threapleton revealed that she has never watched Titanic from start to finish. Threapleton shared that her mother covered her 'eyes' during the car's intimate scene between Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. Threapleton recalled, 'I remember the car scene happening and these hands appeared from behind my head and covered up my eyes.' She joked, 'I was like, 'I can still hear everything.'' The actress shared that Winslet 'does not like watching herself.' 'I don't remember why it was on. My mother would never optionally put that film on. She does not like watching herself. And I totally understand why,' Threapleton gushed. While following Winslet's legacy, Mia Threapleton has already acted alongside her mother in multiple projects. She starred alongside her mother in the powerful Channel 4 drama I Am Ruth, part of Dominic Savage's I Am series. The mother-daughter duo portrayed a struggling single parent and her withdrawn teenage daughter. Threapleton revealed the process was 'intense,' and she did not really discuss the work with her celebrity mother. She noted, 'The whole process itself was very intense, but we didn't actually ever speak about what we were doing.' After the success of I Am Ruth, which won the Best Single Drama BAFTA award, Threapleton went on to act in Wes Anderson's film, The Phoenician Scheme. Threapleton's co-stars include Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Scarlett Johansson, and more. Reflecting on the experience, Threapleton said, 'It was mind-blowing.' Acting alongside an acclaimed star cast felt like a 'dream,' she added. 'I feel so unbelievably lucky to have had the opportunity that I have to have done this job with Wes.' The Phoenician Scheme premiered at the 2025 Cannes on May 18, 2025. The film got its theatrical release in the United States on May 30.

Teen Stuns Viewers as 'Vintage' Prom Dress Donated by Millennial Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Gen Z teen's dress-up session with her millennial neighbor's prom gowns has captured the internet's heart. Erinn Downing (@er1nnh), 34, from San Diego, shared a TikTok video of her 16-year-old neighbor trying on three of her old prom dresses—garments that Downing wore almost two decades ago, in 2006 and 2008. The video, which juxtaposed clips of the teen in each outfit alongside throwback photos of Downing wearing them at the time, has amassed 4.5 million views and 367,700 likes. "I am so happy I saved them! Watching her try them on brought me right back to being 16 and how beautiful I felt in those dresses! They brought back the joy and excitement of prom!" Downing told Newsweek. Downing shares an incredibly close bond with her neighbor, who she has known since the day she was born. The dresses included a floor-length green mermaid gown from Cache, a pink satin gown with diamante details around the chest and waist from Bloomingdale's, and a white gown with silver embellishments—also from Cache. Each one fit the teen perfectly. "Emily had mentioned that wearing 'vintage prom dresses' were 'in.' So luckily I had saved all of my dresses and were just goofing off one night where she tried them on and modeled them for my parents and her mom! My parents and especially my mom loved it because she had gone shopping with me for all three of the dresses so she loved re living it all through Emily, who is like a daughter to them both," she said.

She told Newsweek she got it because she was part of NCL—the National Charity League. "Seniors have a sort of debutant ball where they have to wear a white dress! When I found the white one it worked for both NCL presents and prom!" she said. As for the pink dress, the motivation was simple: "The pink one I'm sure I bought just because pink has and always will be my favorite color!" Of all three, Downing still holds a soft spot for the mermaid-style green gown. "My personal favorite is the green one! At the time I wore it—I felt the best in it! Something about that giant center stone and the mermaid flow made me feel invincible!" While it may seem surprising that clothes from the 2000s are now considered "vintage," the label isn't far off. According to Martha Stewart, an item is generally considered vintage if it is at least 20 years old but less than 100. That makes Downing's 2006 and 2008 prom dresses officially vintage as of the mid-2020s. The video also sparked a wave of nostalgia online, with TikTokers sharing memories and reactions to the throwback looks. "That white one was ahead of its time," commented one user. "Ok white one still slaps," added another. Jen chimed in: "Oh my god I had that white one in hot pink!" Others were astonished Downing had kept them all these years. "How do you even have these still? The only thing I've kept from high school is my senior yearbook," one viewer commented. And many millennial viewers had a moment of existential crisis. "'Vintage' just hurt my feelings. I was class of '08," said Anna McDowell. Ultimately, Emily did not end up wearing any of the dresses for prom, but Erinn is holding out for her senior year.
