House of Cards actor Kevin Spacey will have to pay almost $31 million to the production company that made the series House Of Cards in which he starred until he was fired over allegations of sexual harassment. 
MRC, the production company launched its legal battle against Spacey in 2019 violating his contract. The studio had to fire Spacey, halt production of the show’s sixth season, rewrite it to remove Spacey’s central character, and shorten it from 13 to eight episodes to meet deadlines, resulting in tens of millions in losses, the document claimed. 
In the document, MRC detailed that after the allegations came to light it suspended Spacey and launched an investigation which found that the American Beauty star had "breached provisions of both the Acting and Executive Producing Agreements that set standards for his workplace conduct, including by breaching MRC's Harassment Policy." 
The wave of accusations that halted the 62-year-old's illustrious career coincided with the rise of the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment and abuse, sparked by the case of the all-powerful Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.

Academy Award-winning actor&nbsp;Eddie Redmayne, whose portrayal of a trans woman in the award-winning film, 'The Danish Girl' won him a lot of accolades,&nbsp;has said that the role was a 'mistake'.&nbsp;The film was heavily criticised for casting Eddie, a cis-gender man in the role of a trans woman in the film.
Eddie&nbsp;Redmayne&nbsp;said he wouldn&rsquo;t take that job if it was offered to him now. The role won him a Oscar nomination for Best Actor.&nbsp;
In an interview with The Sunday Times, the actor said, "The bigger discussion about the frustrations around casting is because many people don't have a chair at the table. There must be a leveling, otherwise we are going to carry on having these debates."&nbsp;
In the 2015 film, Eddie plays Danish artist in the early 20th century, who was assigned the male gender at birth, Einar Wegener, who&nbsp;later transitions to Lili Elbe.&nbsp;
The Oscar-winning actor currently stars in a new production of 'Cabaret' at London's Playhouse Theatre.&nbsp;

Scarlett Johansson has been in the public eye right from the age of 10 when she made her Hollywood debut in 1994 film 'North'. 
Scarlett, who was the highest-paid actress in 2018 and 2019, has given us many memorable roles since then, each unique and brilliant in their own right. 
But perhaps she is best known for the character of Natasha Romanoff, the badass superhero from Marvel's Avengers franchise, which became so insanely popular that Marvel had to give her a standalone film 'Black Widow'.  
On the Black Widow star Scarlett Johansson's 37th birthday, here are some of her best, most memorable performances: 
1)  Her | 2013 
2013 film 'Her' is a sci-fi movie at its core mixed with romantic drama. 'Her' gave fans an in-depth look at the rise of artificial intelligence, its role and increasing involvement in human lives.  
The story focuses on Theodore Twombly played by Joaquin Phoenix, a lonely, introverted, and depressed man who develops a relationship with Samantha, an A.I. virtual assistant humanized through a female voice, played by Scarlett Johanssen. 
Although Scarlett is not physically present in the movie, the dexterity of her voice in the film is simply magnificent. 
She won the Best Actress Award at the Rome Film Festival for her voice-only turn in this quirky 21st-century romance.   
2) Lucy | 2014
'Lucy' is a French sci-fi action film about a carefree student who is first turned into a drug mule, then in turn becomes a superhuman with telekinetic and telepathic abilities when a large quantity of drugs is leaked into her system.  
The film is something of a zany cross between a superhero movie and a Taiwanese gangster movie, but Johansson holds it together with a muscular action performance.  
Scarlett Johansson's portrayal of the extremely vulnerable yet superpowered woman received a lot of appreciation from critics. It won her a National Society of Film Critics' Awards for Best Actress. 
 3) Jojo Rabbit | 2019
'Jojo Rabit' is set in Nazi Germany in the later stages of the World War II. Scarlett Johansson plays little kid Jojo’s mother, who is hiding a Jewish girl in their attic. She secretly works against the Nazis, as part of a hidden community that wants Hitler’s reign to end. 
Scarlett Johansson is in a class of her own here, delivering a soulful comic turn that keeps revealing new layers. The actress earned a Best Supporting Oscar nomination for her mesmerizing performance in the film.
4) Marriage Story | 2019
'Marriage Story' features Scarlett Johansson and Adam driver and was one of the strongest contenders in the 2019 Oscar race. 
The film is about a couple going through a divorce. It is haunting, heart-breaking and unforgettable.  
Scarlett's brilliant portrayal of Nicole Barber, an ambitious actress who is heartbroken due to the separation but is also reinventing herself with her new-found freedom, makes the film an absolute wonder to watch. 
The performance earned Scarlett Johansson a Best Actress Academy Award nomination. 
 5) Black Widow | 2021
Scarlett Johannson returns as the irrepressible Natasha Romanoff, who is determined to deal with her history as a spy, and mend the broken relationships left in her wake, long before she became an Avenger. 
'Black Widow' has always been seen as the coolest head in a fight. Nothing fazed her, and certainly nothing stopped her.
The movie is packed with everything that you'd expect from a Marvel movie, but what's different about this one is the high emotional quotient making it both heart-breaking, and heart-warming at the same time. 
Scarlett Johansson was honoured with the Generation Award for the film.

Bollywood actor Ali Fazal has boarded the cast of Hollywood star Gerard Butler's upcoming film "Kandahar". 
The action-thriller is directed by Ric Roman Waugh, best known for helming films "Angel Has Fallen", "Felon" and "Greenland" "Kandahar" is based on the screenplay Waugh developed with former military intelligence officer Mitchell LaFortune.
The story is based of Mitchell’s experiences at the Defence Intelligence Agency in Afghanistan. The principal photography of the film is expected to begin soon in Saudi Arabia.

"I always look forward to new and exciting ventures. We are all set to begin production soon," Fazal said in a statement. 
Bulter, 52, will play Tom Harris, a CIA operative working in the Middle East whose cover is blown after an intelligence leak exposes his classified mission. 
Stuck in hostile territory, Harris and his translator must fight their way out of the desert to an extraction point in Kandahar, Afghanistan, while eluding the elite special forces hunting them. Details of Fazal's character are still under wraps. 
Fazal's forthcoming Hollywood release is Kenneth Branagh-directed "Death on the Nile", which also features "Wonder Woman" star Gal Gadot. The film will release on February 11 next year.

HBO Max’s new trailer for ‘And Just Like That’ expands on the teaser, revealing where Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) and the gang are more than 11 years after we saw them in the movie ‘Sex and the City 2.’ 
Along with Parker, Kristin Davis has returned as Charlotte and Cynthia Nixon once again plays Miranda. Kim Cattrall has chosen not to come back as fan-favorite Samantha, due to issues that have been well documented over the years.
“Sex and the City” mainstays Chris Noth, Mario Cantone, David Eigenberg, Evan Handler and Willie Garson  who died in September reprise their past roles. New cast members Sara Ramírez, Sarita Choudhury, Nicole Ari Parker and Karen Pittman join them. 
The trailer appears to reveal that the three women are still married and spotlights Big on a Peloton, kissing Carrie, and saying to her, “I remember when you kept your sweaters in the stove.” It also teases how the new characters figure into the show.   The 10-episode season will premiere on HBO Max on Dec. 9 with two episodes, and will roll out weekly on Thursdays through Feb. 3.

As Barbados became the world's newest republic  after officially removing Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state, its Prime Minister's first act was to officially declare the island's most famous citizen, Rihanna, a national hero. 
Barbados had already conferred the title of ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary on the billionaire multiple Grammy-winning singer and businesswoman in 2018 and tasked her with encouraging education and tourism. 
"On behalf of a grateful nation, but an even prouder people, we therefore present to you the designee for national hero of Barbados, Ambassador Robyn Rihanna Fenty," Prime Minister Mia Mottley said, inviting the singer up to stand alongside her. 
"May you continue to shine like a diamond and bring honor to your nation by your words, by your actions, and to do credit, wherever you shall go," she said, with a nod to the singer's hit "Diamonds." 
Rihanna, 33, grew up in a troubled home in Barbados and was propelled to fame after American producer Evan Rogers recognized her talents. 
Rihanna was among many nominations for national hero submitted by the people of Barbados and Mottley said others would be named by National Heroes Day next year.
