Look inside Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost's $13 million penthouse
Actress Scarlett Johansson and comedian Colin Jost scored a massive bargain when buying a Park Avenue penthouse, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Johansson, 40, and Jost, 42, paid $13 million for the six-bedroom, 6,000-square-foot Carnegie Hill co-op, which was first built in the 1930s. The previous owners, Craig and Deborah Cogut, bought the property for $13 million in 2006 and originally listed it for $27.5 million in 2018.
The steep discount is in keeping with recent high-end Manhattan real estate trends: young, affluent buyers are increasingly disinterested in classic pre-war co-ops. Industry experts say wealthy buyers are prioritizing more youthful neighborhoods and condos with less stringent rules.
'It's no longer, 'I have to be on Sutton Place in a pre-war co-op and belong to the Met Opera,'' UrbanDigs co-founder, John Walkup, told the Wall Street Journal. 'It's, 'I live in this 32nd-floor Tribeca penthouse with a sweeping view of the harbor.''
While other New York neighborhoods might be cooler, it's hard to match the elegance of Jost and Johansson's new two-floor, 14-room apartment.
'The residence boasts grand proportions, beautiful outdoor spaces off all main rooms, including five terraces and eight balconies, six wood-burning fireplaces, and exceptional light from 65 windows across all four exposures,' the real estate listing reads. 'A private elevator landing opens to an elegant center gallery with lacquered walls and open south city views through floor-to-ceiling French doors.'
The penthouse's amenities also include an oak-paneled library, a chef's kitchen, a media room, and soaking tubs.
The apartment is 2.5 miles away from 30 Rockefeller Plaza (CMCSA), where Jost works as a writer and cast member on 'Saturday Night Live.' Johansson, a frequent guest on the sketch comedy show, met Jost on its set. The pair married in 2020 and have one child together;Johanasson has another child from a previous marriage.

New Doc Explores How Julia Sweeney's ‘SNL' Favorite Pat Became a Complex Nonbinary Icon
Julia Sweeney's popular Saturday Night Live character Pat gets their plaudits (and some criticism) as a gender non-conforming pioneer in a new clip from the upcoming documentary, We Are Pat, premiering exclusively on Rolling Stone. Sweeney played Pat throughout her run on SNL in the early Nineties and even got to star in a spin-off film, It's Pat. The inscrutability of Pat's androgyny was pushed to comedic extremes, effectively offering prominent, yet thorny representation for gender non-conforming people on television long before the term 'nonbinary' was being widely used. More from Rolling Stone USC's SoCal VoCals Are Pitch Perfect in 'Just Sing' Documentary Trailer See 'SNL' Spoof Mike Myers' Infamous Kanye West Moment in Elevator Sketch 'SNL': Watch Bad Bunny Perform 'NUEVAYoL,' 'PERFuMITO NUEVO' We Are Pat director Ro Haber tells Rolling Stone in an email they 'wanted to make a film about transness that had humor at the heart of it,' and kept coming back to their complicated feelings about Pat. 'Why am I laughing at something that's meant to laugh at me? Why do I love Pat? Is Pat a nonbinary icon or a transphobic trope of yesteryear?' Haber continues. 'In exploring these questions, it was really important that the film embraced a spirit of curiosity and conversation rather than cancel culture and judgment.' The new clip opens with Karam Ann, a professor of TV studies, noting the prescience of Pat and how the relatively new discussion around nonbinary identity and the use of they/them pronouns has 'reanimated Pat from the grave.' Actor and filmmaker River Gallo, who is nonbinary, adds, 'What's interesting to me about being nonbinary, and the definition of nonbinariness, is it's saying you're not these two things. It's not really definable but only by what it isn't. It's interesting thinking of Pat in those ways.' We Are Pat will have its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on Sunday, June 8. It's set to feature interviews with an array of queer and trans comedians and writers, including Molly Kearney, Esther Fallick, Abby McEnany, Pink Foxx, and Roz Hernandez. Sweeney also partook in the film, as did her SNL co-star Kevin Nealon. Haber says one of the most profound things they learned while making the film was from Sweeney, who created Pat while grappling with her 'own gendered pressure as a woman trying to make it in the Ninetes boys club of comedy and SNL.' 'Pat grew out of familial and societal expectations of femininity that were placed on Julia during that time, and Pat was something of an escape for her,' Haber says. 'In the film, she says, 'It was actually a joy to be Pat because I got to have a break from having to be a girl too.' That sense of reacting to a gender expectation placed on you felt really relatable to the comics in the film and me.' { pmcCnx({ settings: { plugins: { pmcAtlasMG: { iabPlcmt: 1, }, pmcCnx: { singleAutoPlay: 'auto' } } }, playerId: "d762a038-c1a2-4e6c-969e-b2f1c9ec6f8a", mediaId: "4665abb0-57e9-4e09-a93a-fa846cda00cb", }).render("connatix_player_4665abb0-57e9-4e09-a93a-fa846cda00cb_2"); }); Best of Rolling Stone The 50 Best 'Saturday Night Live' Characters of All Time Denzel Washington's Movies Ranked, From Worst to Best 70 Greatest Comedies of the 21st Century

Trump to attend 'Les Misérables' premiere as protests persist across the country
President Donald Trump is set to attend the opening night of 'Les Misérables,' a musical set against a background of revolution and protest, at Washington, D.C.'s John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on Wednesday. 'I love the songs, I love the play,' Trump told Fox News Digital last week. 'I think it's great.' The opening night of a monthlong run of the Tony Award-winning show comes amid widespread protests against the president's immigration policies and his decision to deploy members of the military in response. Protesting against power is a major theme in the show, which is centered around student-led demonstrations against the French monarchy. 'Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, the musical tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice, and redemption — a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit,' reads the official summary on the Kennedy Center's website. Songs from the musical have been used in protests against governments around the world since the show debuted in 1980, including by pro-democracy demonstrators in Hong Kong in 2019. Protesters sang one of the show's most popular and recognizable hits, 'Do You Hear the People Sing?' which includes the lyrics, 'Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men?' The show will be the first production Trump has attended as head of the Kennedy Center. He did not attend any performances during his first term in office, and in February he replaced the entire board of trustees and had himself named chairman of the board. The shake-up resulted in some concerts being canceled — including a performance by the Gay Men's Chorus in honor of Pride Month — and other artists and productions pulling out of planned shows to protest the changes, including actor Issa Rae and a production of 'Hamilton.' 'Our show simply cannot, in good conscience, participate and be a part of this new culture that is being imposed on the Kennedy Center,' 'Hamilton' producer Jeffrey Seller said in a statement in March. A spokesperson for "Les Miz" said Wednesday, 'We are looking forward to performing for DC audiences beginning tonight and throughout the engagement at the Kennedy Center, where the US first saw the original production in 1986.' The performance Wednesday is serving as a fundraiser for the Kennedy Center. First lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, are expected to attend as well. Security will be tightened around the venue for the performance, the Kennedy Center said. 'Please be advised the Kennedy Center will be closed to non-ticket holders on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, due to enhanced security protocols,' the venue's website said.

‘Andor' Season 2: Crafting Cultures, World-Building, and Story All At Once
'' is an in-depth podcast and video essay series featuring interviews with the stars and creative team behind an exceptional piece of filmmaking. For this edition, the IndieWire Crafts and Special Projects team partnered with Disney+ to take a closer look at 'Andor' with creator Tony Gilroy, executive producer Sanne Wholenberg, actors Alïas Lawson, Diego Luna, and Genevieve O'Reilly, production designer Luke Hull, costume designer Michael Wilkinson, composer Brandon Roberts, cinematographer Mark Patton, director Janus Metz, as well as editors Yan Miles and John Gilroy to explore how building distinct cultures grounded the most explosive moments of the show's second season. There is a whole galaxy full of TV critics, including our own here at IndieWire, who have found 'Andor' Season 2 to be the very best of 'Star Wars' — certainly the entry in the franchise that most compellingly grapples with the romance and sacrifice that power revolutions. The Disney+ series does not do this by leaning into the voluminous annals of existing 'Star Wars' lore, though. More from IndieWire Even Tramell Tillman Is 'Scared' of His 'Severance' Character Milchick: 'Who the Hell Is That Guy Who Has My Face?' Genndy Tartakovsky Knows 'Fixed' Is a 'Unicorn' of an Animated Movie Tony Gilroy and his creative team figured out that showing viewers the repressive opulence of imperial strongholds, that getting us to feel the humanity of the places that the Empire wishes to crush, makes Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) and his rebel friends' fight against the Empire so much more meaningful. Perhaps the most key location in Season 2 is the planet Ghorman, a wealthy, first-world world that just so happens to have some rare minerals the Empire may want to extract. Every decision about Ghorman, from its fabric export economy to its French and Algerian resistance roots to its spider mascots, was made working backwards from the fact that the Empire was going to perpetrate a massacre there. 'Ghorman was built to be destroyed,' Gilroy told IndieWire. 'The social climate of Ghorman is crucial for this season, so all this investment is done in terms of storytelling, of time spent in this place, and in terms of design and building,' Luna said on an episode of IndieWire's Filmmaker Toolkit podcast. 'In our story, it's important to go deeper and get to understand the community.' On 'Andor,' the Empire is crushing communities everywhere, even the ones where everything seems lovely and fine. Season 2 spends much of its first three episodes on Chandrila, the homeworld of rebel leader Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly), in no small part to show the personal cost of her choosing rebellion over family, friends, and her own moral compass. Mon's tacit consent to the murder of childhood friend/shaky banker Tay Kolma (Ben Miles) culminates in a dizzying dance number, but everything we learn about Chandrila's traditions before that gives the audience a vivid sense of why Mon is making that choice. In the videos below, watch how the 'Andor' creative team constructed the cultures of Chandrila and Ghorman to build to some of the most visually detailed, emotionally heartrending, and thematically meaningful sequences in 'Star Wars' history. Genevieve O'Reilly has played the character of Mon Mothma across multiple 'Star Wars' films and series now, going back to a deleted scene cameo in 'Revenge of the Sith.' But 'Andor' was the first time she got any real context for where the character came from, or why she'd made the choices that would lead to her becoming a rebel leader. Going to Chandrila, getting to experience its old world opulence and rigid, ancient wedding traditions, was deeply revelatory. 'It made so much sense. The complexity of tradition within oneself partly defines who we are, whether we accept that or reject that. And in fact, it gave me a window into what [Mon's] first rebellion really probably was, which was to find her way out of that culture,' O'Reilly told IndieWire. The work of creating those traditions was spread across the 'Andor' creative team — including composer Brandon Roberts' blend of classical polish, tribal rhythms, and EDM remixes on the score, Luke Hull's melding of 'Star Wars' shapes and expensive textures in the Mothma family home, and Michael Wilkinson's richly layered costumes that conjure a sense of nobility while drawing on a diverse set of cultural styles. Every aesthetic choice for Chandrila is part of a setup for the end of Episode 3, 'Harvest,' where Mon dances away the pain of all the lives she's having to ruin, not least her own, in service of fighting the Empire. For a moment, she drowns in the concentric circles of, as Gilroy puts it, Chandrila's 'wealth utopia,' just to keep herself from screaming. 'We talked a lot about sort of circular movements, swirling and raising arms, and using the fabrics for the camera to sort of find her as everything descends into chaos,' Wilkinson said. The costume designer worked with fabrics specifically chosen to accentuate movement during the dance sequence, so that each twist and turn of the dance would look as dramatic as Mon's emotional turmoil. In the video above, watch how Wilkinson, Hull, Roberts, and the entire 'Andor' creative team crafted a gilded cage to trap Mon Mothma, even as she tries to dance her way free. The Ghorman Massacre is part of 'Star Wars' lore. It's the inciting incident that causes Mon Mothma to leave the Senate, and hence a turning point for the Rebellion that Gilroy knew would be a tentpole moment going into the Season 2 writers' room. But little had been established about the planet itself. '[Ghorman] was a blank book, it was a complete void,' said producer Sanne Wohlenberg. 'You knew about the Ghorman Massacre, you knew all that history through canon, but really nobody had been to Ghorman, and so 'Who are these people and what is the culture?'' As Gilroy and team detail in the video above, this meant they would build the society and its history from the ground up, even inventing its economy (fabrics), the native spiders whose webs were used to produce the famed twill fabrics, and a sophisticated culture that's proud of its history. 'We always knew that it was a new culture and we wanted to create a new language for it,' said Wohlenberg. 'Tony had this great idea, so why don't we cast French people whose natural way of speaking French lends itself for the new language. He started creating alphabets and literally they built a language. Our actors could actually speak Ghor to each other and eventually became fluent.' For the Ghorman Massacre in Episode 8, Gilroy and Season 1 composer Nicholas Britell had even written a national anthem for the proud Ghor to sing in protest as the Empire's trap starts to tighten. 'Just being in a crowd and us singing together and chanting together, it just felt very real,' said Alaïs Lawson, the French-speaking actress cast to play Ghorman Front fighter Enza Rylanz. 'I actually have kind of chills thinking about it.' Much like with Ferrix in Season 1, these building blocks of Ghor society were created with the arc of the season in mind. Whereas the Ferrix storyline would culminate with the working class residents' anger boiling over into rebellion, the Ghor's peaceful protests would end in a pre-determined slaughter. As Gilroy says in the video, 'Ghorman was built to be destroyed.' Added series production designer and producer Luke Hull, 'We really were working back off this notion that this becomes a killing field.' In the video above, Hull and team break down one of the biggest builds in TV history: The circular Ghorman town center backlot set. 'You are working within a set that's the size of two football fields, and it's a real plaza. It's got a fountain, it's got a hotel, it's got a cafe,' said episode 7-9 director Janus Metz. 'At some point, you forget that the sets are sets, you're just living within the reality of [the place].' The Ghorman backlot set is not only the beating heart of its culture and history, it's the noose the Empire places around their neck in Episode 8, as the storylines of Cassian, Dedra (Denise Gough), Syril (Kyle Soller), Wilmon (Muhannad Bhaier) converge in the fateful clash between the Ghorman Front and the Empire. 'I'm a freak for geography and action that you always have to know where you are always,' said Gilroy. 'But Luke's set lets you know where everybody is all the time if you're taking attendance. And it pushes the directors into always being proper about it.' In the video above, Metz, episode 8 editor Yan Miles, and cinematographer Mark Patten break down how they kept the action clear and the masterful episode's drama mounting toward its dreadful conclusion.
