Dakota Johnson says she's 'psyched up for sex' after Chris Martin split
Dakota Johnson said she's 'psyched up for sex' just shortly after her split from Chris Martin.
The 35-year-old actress made the confession on the heels of ending her engagement to her longtime on-off boyfriend-turned-fiancé and now-ex while chatting about her upcoming movie Materialists.
The Fifty Shades of Grey star and the Coldplay singer, 48, had been together for eight years before their 'devastating' split — with an insider recently revealing exclusively to DailyMail.com that 'their relationship has been over for a long time.'
'I don't have to psych myself up for sex scenes,' she confessed to Amy Poehler on Tuesday's episode of the comedian's podcast Good Hang. 'I'm always psyched up for sex.'
The nepo baby also admitted she would have sex talks with her movie star mom Melanie Griffith.
She also recalled how the Working Girl star would teach her about how 'precious and important' sex is.
'My mom raised me to be really, really proud of my body and love my body,' the daughter of Griffith and Miami Vice star Don Johnson said.
'So I've always felt so grateful for that, especially in my work because I can use it and it feels real,' she continued.
She also added that her mom has 'great t*ts' while explaining that she learned from watching how her mother's self-love and how she embraced her own body.
'She's a generous person. She's extremely generous,' Johnson said about her mother. 'If you said to her, "I love your shirt," she'd take it off.
'Mostly because she loves to be naked and has great t*ts,' she added.
Earlier this month, just a little over a week ago, it was revealed that Johnson and her fiancé had called off their engagement and broke up.
Just days later, Martin sparked speculation with a cryptic shout-out to Dakota at Coldplay's Las Vegas show on Friday.
'Thank you so much everybody,' the Paradise singer said to the sold-out crowd at Allegiant Stadium, before unexpectedly referencing Johnson's latest film.
'Be kind to yourself, be kind to each other,' he admonished before adding, 'Don't forget to see Materialists! We love you!' in video shared by DeuxMoi.
His shoutout brought on mixed reactions as some fans insisted that his support was evidence that they were still together.
Others claimed that he seemed like he would still be supportive of his ex despite their separation.
This week, the reason for their split was also allegedly revealed.
An insider told DailyMail.com that Johnson was ready to walk down the aisle but Martin wasn't, and it cost them their relationship.
The source also claimed: 'Their relationship has been over for a long time. They just haven't been able to figure out how to make it official.'
She said: 'My mom raised me to be really, really proud of my body and love my body.' The daughter of Melanie Griffith and Miami Vice star Don Johnson added: 'So I've always felt so grateful for that, especially in my work because I can use it and it feels real'; pictured May in New York City
As fans spiraled over the A-list breakup, a source dished on the split on Tuesday.
'She was sick of him dragging his feet on setting a date for the wedding,' a source claimed to Page Six.
Last week, DailyMail.com's source said the actress 'held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids so much.'
The insider continued: '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.'
They added that there is a chance the pair may reconcile but 'right now, being separated will do wonders if they were to have any type of future together.'

Mum-to-be slammed for naming her baby girl after global disaster because ‘it sounded nice'
EVER heard a name that left you completely gobsmacked? A post on Reddit has gone viral after a woman shared a baby shower invite, which revealed the name planned for an unborn baby. 3 Traditionally, parents share the name of their child after it's been born, rather than beforehand. This is usually down to superstition, but also to avoid scrutiny and negativity over the chosen name. Posting in the group r/tragedeigh, the Redditor said: "I'm speechless... "Welp.. I just got invited to a baby shower…" The invite read: "Please join us for a baby shower. Join us to celebrate the upcoming arrival of a little bundle of joy. "In honour of Chernobyl Hope." The time and place was redacted but the invite concluded with: "We can't wait to celebrate together." Someone replied: "I refuse to believe this is real lol." But the original poster added: "I have a feeling they don't know what Chernobyl meant. I asked them where they got the idea from and said it just sounded nice????" Another was unconvinced: "This has to be fake. There's no way this is real." But the OP doubled down: "Imagine my shock when I received the invite." The OP later explained how the parents of Chernobyl wanted their daughter to be known by the nickname 'Cherry'. I'm called 'selfish' for giving my baby a 'ridiculous' name - trolls say she won't get a job & slam my son's moniker too "I'll let you guys know when I have an update. This invitation was sent in a group chat and was also personally sent to me,' they added. 'I just can't believe they would name a baby girl Chernobyl. I'll gather enough courage to tell them my thoughts.' One comment read: "This has gotta be a top ten worst names posted in the sub." Someone else felt the baby name was finally suitable for the Reddit thread and said: "FINALLY! a child named after a LITERAL tragedeigh!" One person hoped the parents-to-be could be convinced to change their unborn baby's name: "Thankfully it's just the baby shower; there's still time for someone to talk sense into them." But another thought the name wasn't that uncommon: "I worked with a lady named Chernobyl. She went by Che." The struggle of choosing a baby name CHLOE Morgan, a Senior Writer at Fabulous, has revealed her dilemma on choosing a baby name... At 35 weeks pregnant, by far the trickiest part of pregnancy for me in the past few months (minus the insomnia and countless night-time wee breaks!) has been trying to decide on a baby name. The dilemmas are endless... My partner and I went for a private scan to find out the gender as early as we could - partly due to the fact we thought it would make baby naming so much easier because we'd only have to come up with a list of names for one gender rather than two. How wrong we were... I was absolutely thrilled to be told I was expecting the baby girl I'd already dreamed of, but being one of the last of my friends to fall pregnant, I've had countless conversations over the years with excited pals discussing their top baby which I wish I could go back in time and un-hear. With each friend mentioning at least 10 possible monikers, I can't help but feel like several are now a no-go even though I know it's something that none of them would mind in the slightest - it's a total me problem! The debate comes up time and time again on social media forums - can you choose the same name that was a "potential" for a friend's baby? It's a very divisive topic and opinions are always I don't want to be THAT person. While some will argue there's thousands of other names out there to choose from, others will say you need to choose YOUR all, there's no guarantee that person will even have another baby. Then there's also the issue of finding a name you to research it online and read one negative comment amongst hundreds of positives that you just can't shake off. I made that very mistake when I fell in love with a certain name (I won't reveal it because I don't want to ruin it for others!) ...only to see someone point out that it constantly gets autocorrected on a phone to something rather rude instead. So, back to the drawing board we went.. Just five weeks to go and it looks like our little one is going to be known as 'baby gal' for a little while longer! "Kid is going to think it's cool that she was named after a show and then find out the origins of her name, lol," a Redditor remarked. What is the meaning behind 'Chernobyl'? The word Chernobyl refers to the Chernobyl disaster which was a catastrophic nuclear accident that occurred on April 26, 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near Pripyat, in the Soviet Union. 3 During a late-night safety test, a sudden power surge led to a reactor explosion and fire, releasing massive amounts of radioactive material into the atmosphere. The explosion killed two workers immediately, and acute radiation sickness claimed 28 more lives within weeks. However, around 600,000 'liquidators,' involved in cleaning up the accident, were exposed to high doses of radiation, with various studies reporting that those affected by the blast could be in their thousands. The Chernobyl disaster was a devastating tragedy, meaning it's not a word associated with a person's name. But, there are other meanings to the word Chernobyl. One defended the possible new baby's name, writing: 'I mean, the word Chernobyl was originally the name of a common mugwort plant, a medicinal herb.' They followed up their sentiment with the phrase: 'But there's a reason we don't name children Adol[f] any longer, even if that name was relatively innocuous before 1939.' 'This is so, so bad. They have to be told. Give them a book about Chernobyl as a gift for the baby shower. Because no,' replied someone else. 3

‘We were first auction house to sell a guitar for more than $1m'
When Kim Kardashian wanted to wear Marilyn Monroe's provocative 'Happy Birthday' dress to the Met Gala in 2022, Martin Nolan, a man from Kiltoom in Co Roscommon, arrived at her Californian mansion with a plan B gown. Nolan co-owns Julien's Auctions, which connected Kardashian with Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum to secure the Monroe gown. Julien's had sold the dress to the American franchise for $4.8 million in 2016. At Kardashian's initial fitting of the 'skin and sequins' number — which Monroe wore when she famously serenaded John F Kennedy for his birthday in 1962 — the dress did not fit. There was no need for plan B in the end because the reality TV star and businesswoman shed 16lb in three weeks. She arrived at the Met Gala wearing the frock long enough to pose for photos at the steps of the Metropolitan Museum before promptly changing. The stunt caused ructions among some Monroe fans and fashion historians, and generated headlines across the world. 'There was absolutely no damage done to the dress. The whole world talked about it and it doubled its value,' Nolan says. 'If that dress came to us today we'd sell it for $10 million because Kim made it so much more famous and introduced Marilyn Monroe to a new, younger audience.' The 62-year-old should know. He has been a partner at Julien's Auctions, one of the world's leading music, entertainment and Hollywood auction houses, for the past 20 years. The Beverly Hills company, which was set up by Darren Julien in 2003, is regarded as the 'auction house of the stars', putting it up to bigger rivals such as Sotheby's and Christie's when it comes to selling celebrity ephemera and pop culture pieces of art such as Banksy murals or Birkin bags. Julien's has worked with a long list of stars including Cher, Ringo Starr, Barbra Streisand, Janet Jackson and U2. It sold Michael Jackson's Thriller jacket for $1.8 million in 2011. It auctioned the original cape worn by Christopher Reeve in the 1978 film Superman for more than $190,000 in 2019. It was also tasked with clearing out and selling the contents of Hugh Hefner's Playboy mansion. The most expensive guitar so far flogged at auction was sold by Julien's when, in 2020, the guitar Kurt Cobain played on Nirvana's MTV Unplugged in New York album fetched $6 million, after fees. 'We were the first auction house to sell a guitar for more than a million dollars,' Nolan says. On June 26 the company may break more records when a large collection of clothing owned by Diana, Princess of Wales, goes under the hammer at the Peninsula hotel in Beverly Hills. Nolan splits his time between California, London and New York. Last week he was catching his breath at Dublin airport, having been touring the items from the Diana collection in the UK and Ireland for the past couple of weeks to drum up publicity and squeeze in a visit to his 94-year-old mother, Kitty, and his large family. In 2023 Nolan and Julien sold a majority stake in their company to Martin Geller, an investor and financial adviser best known for being Michael Bloomberg's accountant. Julien and Nolan took some money off the table — Nolan declines to say how much — and stepped down from their respective roles of chief executive and chief financial officer. Both stayed on as executive directors. In the past two years the company expanded its auction calendar — going from up to 40 auctions a year to about 80 and near-doubling its staff headcount from 25. 'As chief financial officer, I was bogged down in HR and payroll and bills,' Nolan e says. 'Now, I just get to do the part of the job I love, which is meeting clients, bringing in the property, travelling the world, showcasing, exhibiting and selling.' The middle child of seven, Nolan was raised in Kiltoom in Co Roscommon, just outside Athlone. His father, Martin Sr, worked in the ESB and Kitty had a fashion boutique in Athlone, which she closed after Nolan was born. In 1978 Nolan's father died when Martin Jr was 15 years old. 'My mother was widowed at 47 and had seven children all at school. She did a great job and did it all unselfishly,' he says. After school, Nolan moved to Dublin to work at An Foras Taluntais, the forerunner of Teagasc, and studied accountancy at night. • The craziest items ever sold at auction However, in 1987 he took a career break and moved to Australia. At Kitty's urging he applied for the US's Donnelly visa scheme in 1988, which in its inaugural year made 10,000 visas available to people from 36 countries. Nolan was selected from 1.5 million applicants. When he arrived in New York he walked into the Hilton hotel on Sixth Avenue and was 'hired on the spot' as a bellman, before being promoted to doorman. Two years in he started to 'get serious' about his career and trained as a stockbroker at JP Morgan Chase. 'I worked from 8am until 8pm Monday to Friday at JP Morgan and wasn't making enough to pay my rent so I continued to work at the Hilton at weekends,' he says. 'It robbed me of my youth but we do what we do.' On September 11, 2001, Nolan was working in a JP Morgan branch on 79th Street near Central Park when the planes hit the Twin Towers. Colleagues and neighbours lost people in the terrorist attack. 'It made me reassess,' he says. 'I thought if I had perished like so many, what mark would I have made? I went in search of something more rewarding.' It took a couple of years but in 2003, while working at Merrill Lynch, Nolan met Darren Julien, who was in New York to auction Johnny Cash items for Sotheby's. 'He was just starting Julien's Auctions, so I brought him on as a client to Merrill Lynch and then he hired me [in 2005] to work on the philanthropic side of the business, holding auctions to raise money for charity.' Most auctions in which Julien's is involved will have some sort of charitable element. 'We always encourage our sellers to put a proportion of the proceeds towards charity. We also do a lot of work with MusiCares, the charitable component of the Grammys,' Nolan says. The company does not publish its accounts but Nolan says it charges anywhere from zero to 20 per cent commission. • 'Memorabilia is the new fine art': inside Hollywood's top auction house The first auction Nolan worked on involved the sale of Marilyn Monroe's personal belongings, which were being sold by her estate in 2005. They included Monroe's phone book, which had the phone numbers of stars such as Frank Sinatra and Jack Lemmon, and a watercolour she painted for JFK. In total, the auction fetched $1 million. 'That was my first introduction to this world of collecting. I was from rural Ireland, so far away from people having an attachment to anything of that sort,' Nolan says. It was also his first exposure to celebrity memorabilia as an alternative investment. He cites the Monroe dress as an example. In 1999 it was bought at a Christie's auction by the Wall Street investor Martin Zweig for $1.27 million — then the most money paid for a single item of clothing. Zweig saw it as an investment. Three years after his death in 2013, his widow Barbara achieved a 278 per cent return when she sold the dress. Nolan isn't a huge collector but he has bought some watches, including one from the former boxer Evander Holyfield. He also put in an online bid for a coffee pot that is part of a collection being sold by the estate of the American film-maker David Lynch at auction this Wednesday. 'I was outbid right away. We are seeing huge interest in that auction,' he says. Nolan insists that you don't have to be rich to buy celebrity memorabilia, but you do have to be selective if you are buying it with an expectation of a return. Blue-chip celebrities do well — Michael Jackson, Elvis, Monroe, the Beatles, Dolly Parton and Kurt Cobain. However, Nolan says it can be difficult to identify 'blue-chip celebrities of the future'. 'Entertainers such as South Korean band BTS, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift and Chappell Roan are hugely popular now with their fan base but will they have the longevity of Cher or Barbra [Streisand]?' A few years into working at Julien's, Nolan became a co-owner and business partner. The company has 'gone gangbusters' since then, he says. In the world of celebrity, it seems nothing is off limits. Julien's auctioned William Shatner's kidney stone, which fetched $25,000 in 2006 for charity, and the writer Truman Capote's ashes, which went for $44,000. In 2014 Julien and Nolan starred in Celebrity Home Raiders, the Lifetime reality television show, where they went into the homes of celebs such as David Hasselhoff to source items to sell. The company set up the Hollywood Legends auction in partnership with Turner Classic Movies, which gives buyers another option to pick up movie memorabilia. 'That has been phenomenal because they advertise us on their channel,' Nolan says. 'It brings a whole new audience to us.' It has not been without its challenges. In 2009 Julien's was involved in a high-profile legal dispute with Michael Jackson after the pop star tried to stop the company from going ahead with an auction of the contents of his sprawling Neverland ranch. Julien's had been invited to prepare the contents of the ranch for sale by Jackson's manager and had spoken to the singer about what he wanted to keep. It took 30 staff about 90 days to move and label the 2,000 items. They filled nine trucks with contents that included bumper cars, a Rolls-Royce, the Neverland ranch gates and Jackson's crystal glove. 'The case was traumatic and upsetting because we were a very small company at the time and we had zero money,' Nolan says. The judge ruled in favour of Julien's but the auction house returned the whole exhibition to the singer in return for its costs being covered. Two months later, in June 2009, Jackson was dead. The items are still owned by his estate and in storage. 'Thank God he died knowing he had all his stuff,' Nolan says. 'Now, we have a very good relationship with his fans and are very good friends with his son Prince, who runs a charity called Heal Los Angeles, which wants to end hunger, and we have big projects planned.' Investor appetite for memorabilia shows little sign of abating. Last year Julien's sold George Harrison's 1968 Resonet Futurama guitar for $1.2 million, well above its $600,000 to $800,000 estimate. Olivia Newton-John's black motorcycle jacket from the 1978 film Grease sold for nearly $500,000, after guiding $80,000 to $100,000. A Fender bass guitar that U2's Adam Clayton played at the Sphere in Las Vegas sold for $260,000, smashing its estimate of $50,000 to $70,000. Touring exhibitions are used to market forthcoming auctions. Since 2006 it has regularly brought its collections to William Doyle's Newbridge Silverware Museum of Style Icons. Nolan was in Newbridge last week to show off pieces from the Diana auction, assembled from a wide range of owners from across the world. About 340 items will go for sale — the largest collection of Diana's clothing to go under the hammer — including a red ski jumpsuit guiding $30,000-$50,000. A Bellville Sassoon floral frock, which Diana wore on many occasions, has an estimate of $200,000-$300,000, while a Catherine Walker-designed Falcon gown, which the princess wore on a 1986 trip to Saudi Arabia, designed as a nod to the country's national bird, is guiding at $200,000-$300,000. Nolan expects this collection to do very well. At a Hollywood Legends auction in 2023, the hammer went down at $1.1 million for a Jacques Azagury-designed gown worn by the late princess in 1985. Nolan remembers being in Australia in 1988 when Diana and Charles, then Prince of Wales, visited. 'If you told me then that I would be selling a dress Diana wore on that visit at auction in 2025, I would never have believed you,' he says.

I am usually in a different city at least once a week either to meet a potential buyer or a consignor that may have some incredible items they wish to auction. As an auctioneer I work for the seller but of course I am always searching for the buyers of these iconic pieces that I am lucky to work with every day and I don't take this for granted.

Gwyneth Paltrow puts on a very cheeky display as she cooks topless and serves up a ‘boyfriend breakfast'
GWYNETH Paltrow has put on a very cheeky display while cooking topless, to serve up a 'boyfriend breakfast.' The Hollywood actress, 52, penned to fans: 'This was a Tuscan inspired high protein #boyfriendbreakfast skillet with sausage from the local butcher, white beans, spinach, cherry tomatoes and of course eggs.' 4 4 And she could be seen in the clip without her top on cooking over the stove, while in some white pyjama shorts and slippers. Gwyneth had her hair pulled back into a plait, and she cooked to the soundtrack of Starfish And Coffee. The rest of the clip saw the star showing off the various ingredients she was using for her breakfast. As she continues cooking and enjoying a coffee, Gwyneth decides to put her pyjama top back on. Fans were loving the clip, as one person penned: 'love it! thanks for your light,' while another said: 'Very cheeky, love it.' Someone else penned: 'Yum! Food looks good too.' But not everyone was impressed with the topless scene, with some of the star's followers saying it was 'dangerous' to be cooking like that. 'Lil dangerous to be cooking with no shirt on, wow 😮this is rich people faking life,' one person wrote. Someone else said: 'Anything for attention.' Meghan Markle and Gwyneth Paltrow appear TOGETHER in Insta video as pair deny rivalry & 'war to be US lifestyle queen' But Gwyneth is no stranger to ditching her clothes on social media, and it's somewhat of an annual tradition for Gwyneth to pose naked on her birthday. In 2021 she celebrated her 49th birthday by sharing a picture of herself in the bath, and the year before, she ran free and showed off her naturist tendencies, prancing around in the woods. Never missing an opportunity to plug her own brand, She wrote: "In nothing but my birthday suit today... thank you all so much for the birthday wishes and thank you to @goop's insanely amazing brand new body butter for making me think I can still get my kit off." Then in 2022, Gwyneth marked her 50th by spraying herself in metallic gold body paint for a Goldfinger-inspired photoshoot. Her cooking clip comes after the 52-year-old admitted to having 'a lot of sex' with Timothee Chalamet, in an upcoming movie she stars in. Marty Supreme is the movie that the pair star in, with the film due out this December. The flick is an upcoming American sports adventure comedy-drama, that sees Marty Mauser, a young man with a dream no one respects, as he "goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness." Speaking to Vanity Fair, Gwyneth has opened up about working with Timothee and how they had "a lot of sex" on set of the new movie. "I mean, we have a lot of sex in this movie … there's a lot — a lot," she spilled. The interviewer then presse,: "So… you're in a lot of vulnerable positions with him?" Gwyneth then responded, "Beyond."
