‘Jurassic World: Rebirth' brings fans back to dangerous dinosaur realm
LONDON: Scarlett Johansson's role in 'Jurassic World: Rebirth' made her recall her earliest memories of the dinosaur film franchise. The 'Black Widow' actor recalled seeing the first 'Jurassic Park' film at the movie theater when she was 10 years old. 'It imprinted on me very deeply,' she told Reuters at the London premiere at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square. 'For the next three decades, I was like, I would have done anything to be in a Jurassic movie in any capacity,' she added. The franchise, created by author Michael Crichton, has spawned several films, merchandising deals and video games. Netflix to stream French TV content in world first 'Jurassic World: Rebirth,' directed by Gareth Edwards, follows a team of specialists that embarks on an expedition to a forbidden island, home to a research facility for the original 'Jurassic Park'. Some of the specialists include Johansson and 'Bridgerton' actor Jonathan Bailey, who must obtain DNA samples from three dinosaurs to achieve a life-saving medical breakthrough. The Universal Pictures film arrives in theaters on July 2. For Rupert Friend, who also plays one of the specialists, this installment in the franchise is exhilarating. 'I love adventure. I love being taken on a ride where you don't know what's going to happen. I love the unknown. I love risk,' he said. For well-known science fiction director, Edwards, the pressure for the film to succeed did not hit until he arrived at the premiere. 'It's all front and centre here. It feels a bit weird, to be honest. I can't quite get my head around it,' the 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' director added.

DDG fires back at critic during Father's Day post amid custody battle with Halle Bailey
Rapper DDG responded to online backlash over a Father's Day tweet, amid his ongoing legal conflict with singer and actress Halle Bailey regarding their son, Halo Saint. On June 15, DDG (Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.) tweeted, 'Happy Father's Day to all the active dads worldwide.' A pop culture page, Pop Tingz, sarcastically quoted the post with, 'So not you?' DDG fired back, calling the critic 'irrelevant,' adding, 'I can cashapp you the worth of this page… I support the LGBT community.' The exchange sparked mixed reactions online, with some siding with Pop Tingz and criticizing DDG's response. The rapper and Bailey, who began dating in 2022 and welcomed their son in December 2023, announced their separation in 2024 and have since been embroiled in multiple legal disputes over parenting rights. Earlier this year, Bailey filed for a restraining order, alleging that DDG's behavior—such as false accusations and inflammatory livestreams—had led to online harassment. According to TMZ, she claimed his actions posed an 'imminent emotional and psychological risk' to their child. A Los Angeles court granted her a 100-day restraining order in May. In June 2025, DDG filed for his own restraining order, also requesting the court prevent Bailey from taking their son abroad, specifically to Italy. He alleged that her emotional instability could negatively impact Halo. According to Hot New Hip Hop, the court granted a partial protective order to DDG but found insufficient evidence to block Bailey's travel or custody rights. The order includes measures to prevent emotional abuse and permits third-party mediation in custody arrangements.
