Dakota held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids so much." The source said they tried the age old technique of spending time away from each other but the absences didn't lead to their hearts growing fonder. "Dakota is devastated that she isn't going to be around his kids as much anymore, but wants them to know that she is always there for them," the insider continued. But the beautiful Fifty Shades star has now been spotted looking ever so glamorous in a see-through dress, while in Tribeca in New York City. Dakota sported a sleek hair look, wearing her brunette locks down, and opted for a very glamorous makeup look too. She was spotted looking in good spirits while clutching onto a brown handbag and donning sunglasses. The 35-year-old rocked heels with her outfit, and shared a look at her derriere beneath the see-through dress. The actress turned round and flashed a smile at fans and photographers, before jumping into a taxi. Before their split, Dakota and Chris were pictured holding hands in January at the Babulnath Temple, Mumbai, where Coldplay were touring. Two issues that brought Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson to a breaking point as actress was 'desperate' for it to work It followed Dakota, who is the daughter of actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, working on new romance movie Materialist with co-stars Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal in New York. Last summer insiders insisted the pair were still together and Dakota was seen watching Chris headline Glastonbury in Somerset. She previously told Bustle how watching him perform was a turn on, saying: "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 favourite being do his most favourite thing. 'When people are really good at things, it is [sexy.]' Unlucky in love Chris split from actress wife Gwyneth Paltrow, 51, in March 2014 after ten years of marriage. He reportedly got engaged to Dakota last March and she called his kids with Gwyneth - daughter Apple, 19, and son Moses, 17 - her "stepchildren". The Fifty Shades of Grey star declared that she loved Chris's kids "like her life depends on it." And at one stage, Dakota talked about starting a family of her own with the musician. She said: "How do I feel about motherhood? I'm so open to that. "I've gotten to this place where I really want to experience everything life has to offer. 'And especially being a woman, I'm like: 'What a magical f***ing thing to do. What a crazy, magical, wild experience. "If that's meant to happen for me, I'm totally down for it. "We're not here for very long, so if I'm meant to be a mother, bring it on." 7 The actress looked in good spirits Credit: Getty 7 Dakota popped on heels to go with her striking outfit Credit: Getty

Straw (2025) Movie Review

Hitting breaking point Tyler Perry is back, and this time the auteur has turned his hand to a pressure-cooker thriller in the form of Straw. This Netflix movie is simple in premise and execution, with a series of escalating incidents leading to a big misunderstanding, murder, and a stand-off at a bank. The film does include a 'twist' at the end, although unfortunately, it undermines the themes of the movie and feels designed more for shock value than as a well-thought-out surprise. The story here predominantly centers on a single mother named Janiyah. She works two jobs, is eking out a living, can barely afford to pay rent on her dingy apartment, and is close to breaking point. Unfortunately, today is going to be the worst day of her life. After dropping her daughter off at school, Janiyah finds herself in trouble with the police, fired from her job, and left on the street when she can't pay the overdue rent to her abrasive landlord. Intervening in the middle of a robbery, Janiyah shoots the robber and then turns the gun on her boss and pulls the trigger. Heading to a nearby bank with her bloodied cheque, her backpack (including her daughter's science project, which looks suspiciously like a bomb), and a handgun, a stand-off ensues as police close in on her. The story clearly takes inspiration from movies like Falling Down, while trying to channel the same uneasy tension seen in films like Phone Booth. The execution, though, is clunky, with heavy-handed messaging and one-dimensional characters that struggle to break free from Perry's archetypal shackles. The movie attempts to make us empathize with Janiyah's plight and while yes, we can obviously understand why she's snapped, she murders two people and holds hostages in a bank. It's a weird framing device, especially as law enforcement – and in particular the heavy-handed FBI – are framed as the bad guys in this situation. The story is a little overlong at times as a result of all this, which isn't helped by the frenetic opening to the film. In an attempt to bring you into Janiyah's world, the first 30 minutes are relentless. Expect quick cuts, full-on shouting, crazy antics, drama, and bloodshed. It almost borders on melodrama, but thankfully Straw never tips over the edge into farcical waters. I can't help but feel a more gradual build-up, slowly stacking these misery cards before an inciting incident (this robbery) turns everything upside down, could have helped – especially if the misunderstanding was played up a lot more. This is a particular problem because the middle act of the movie slows down considerably as we start to understand more about Janiyah's life. You see, Janiyah's daughter, Aria, suffers from seizures and has asthma. She also appears to be bullied at school (it's never outright said, but her teacher seems to hold a grudge against her) and is very much Janiyah's entire world. During this time, we also hear from some of the other hostages, who seem to understand why Janiyah is keeping them against their will and sympathize with her. It's here we're introduced to Detective Kay Raymond, who empathizes with Janiyah's plight and tries to talk her down during their negotiations. She's also a negotiations expert from her time in the army, but aside from a couple of lines of dialogue about her past, we don't see a whole lot else from her. This is a real shame, because Raymond, out of all the characters, feels like the one with the most untapped potential. The movie never seems all that interested in actually fleshing out the cast though, instead keeping the attention squarely on Janiyah and, to a lesser extent, Raymond. Beyond that, everyone else is pretty much a one-dimensional archetype. We have the loudmouth landlord who curses constantly, the rude, prejudiced white cops, and the older women who sympathize with Janiyah out of wisdom and lived experience. There's never much in the way of tension inside the bank either, which isn't helped by us already knowing that the item inside Janiyah's rucksack isn't a bomb. I can't help but feel that a rewrite to obscure this from the audience – so we're led to believe Janiyah may actually have a bomb – could have ratcheted up the tension. Production-wise, Straw is pretty good, and the camerawork is decent across the board. Taraji P. Henson puts on a really solid performance as the exasperated mum at the end of her tether, and she really carries the movie forward. However, when you compare Straw to other thrillers of its kind, there's really not a whole lot here to write home about. The movie has a decent enough message, but it's muddied by the moral implications around Janiyah's actions. While the intention is clear, the execution is sloppy – which is a shame, because there's definitely potential here. Read More: Straw Ending Explained

Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend has her Netflix show cancelled after three series

Georgina Rodriguez said she will be stepping away from the reality series, which made her a public figure in her own right but 'requires so much effort' to make. Georgina Rodriguez has confirmed that her hit Netflix reality show I Am Georgina has been cancelled after three successful seasons, despite raking in a staggering £22 million from the series. The model and long-time partner of football icon Cristiano Ronaldo, 31, revealed the news in an interview with Vogue Arabia. She confirmed that there will be no fourth season of the show, which documented her glamorous lifestyle and personal journey from shop assistant to international celebrity. "The reality show has been one of the most important professional experiences and the one that has made me the most excited," Rodriguez said. ‌ ‌ "It has been a lot of work and requires so much effort. I think that it has given me the opportunity to show the real 'me' to the world. It has been the most important and large-scale project that I have done so far. However, at the moment, I do not plan to continue with the reality show." Rodriguez not only starred in the series but also served as executive producer. I Am Georgina became a global success, reaching the top 10 most-watched shows in 46 countries. The popularity of its debut season quickly led to two renewals. The cancellation comes as Rodriguez and Ronaldo continue to attract public attention amid ongoing speculation about whether they have secretly tied the knot. The pair met in 2016 when Georgina was working at a Gucci store in Madrid. By Ronaldo's own admission, it was love at first sight. In 2019, he told Piers Morgan: "Yes, it is [true love]. Yes, it was [like magic meeting for the first time]... She's the mum of my kids. I'm so passionate for her. Why not [get married]... We'll one day, for sure. It's my mum's dream." ‌ In I Am Georgina she opened up a bit about how overwhelming it was to experience Ronaldo's wealth for the first time when they started dating, saying: "The first time I went to Cristiano's house, I'd get lost every time I went to the kitchen. It would take me half an hour to get back because I didn't know the way. "Sometimes it would take me half an hour to get back from the living room because I didn't know the way. It was so big. Since I was a kid, I'd been used to living in small apartments." While the pair have never made a public wedding announcement, Ronaldo has frequently referred to Rodriguez as his wife in recent years. In a speech at a Dubai awards ceremony earlier this year, he said: "My oldest son is here, and my wife [Georgina] is here." He has also used the term in social media posts, which continues to fuel rumours that they secretly got married. Rodriguez shares two children with Ronaldo and helps raise his three other children. During her time on I am Georgina, she became an influential figure in her own right.
