Celebrities were out and about this week on red carpets, TV talk show sets and on the streets of Los Angeles and New York. Alec Baldwin was seen strolling down the streets of Brooklyn after picking up his morning coffee on Wednesday. The actor's outing came after it was reported that Dave Halls, the assistant director of his movie "Rust," may testify against him in the 2021 shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed are facing charges of involuntary manslaughter.
Baldwin is also being sued by the family of Hutchins. During his Big Apple outing, the 64-year-old actor was sporting several rings including his two wedding bands. Last July, Baldwin's wife Hilaria revealed on her Instagram Story that she had given the "It's Complicated" star a new wedding band for their 10th anniversary. She shared that Baldwin's original band only fit on his right hand after he broke his hand last year, so she bought him a bigger ring with a small diamond inside to replace it.
The ring bears the same engraved Spanish quote as the original.The engraving reads "Somos un buen equipo," which translates to "We are a good team." Goldie Hawn was also seen in Manhattan’s Midtown area where she picked up a purple juice on a rainy Friday morning. The 77-year-old actress celebrated her 40th anniversary with Kurt Russell on Valentine's Day. Hawn and the 71-year-old "Escape from New York" star first met on the set of their 1966 comedy "The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band." Hawn and Russell have previously said their relationship is so strong because they haven't walked down the aisle.

Goldie Hawn still regrets missing her Oscar moment. On the evening of April 7, 1970, the budding 25-year-old actress, with just two film credits to her name, was half a world away from the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles when Fred Astaire opened an envelope and read her name as the best supporting actress winner for “Cactus Flower.” Instead of basking in the glow of television history, the “Laugh-In” star was sound asleep in London as an early call time loomed for her next film, “There’s a Girl in My Soup,” opposite Peter Sellers. Hawn, now 77, is sitting in front of a fire in a woodpaneled study in her Pacific Palisades home as she recalls those few seconds that changed the trajectory of her life but that she never experienced firsthand. Throughout her trailblazing career, which includes such classics as “Foul Play,” “Private Benjamin,” “Overboard” and “The First Wives Club,” Hawn has created no shortage of indelible characters and experienced many artistic triumphs. But if she could get one do-over, she would haul her ass to that 1970 ceremony.

Leo Barraclough International Features Editor The Berlin Film Festival has returned to its first fully in person edition since 2020. But this year, the Berlinale has come back with a vengeance, and added something that it wasn’t especially known for in its pre-pandemic days: star power. Indeed, it’s been hard not to bump into a famous person in the German city — almost giving this previously mostly auteur driven gathering a vibe that more closely resembles the latest versions of Sundance or Toronto. Artistic director Carlo Chatrian told Variety Sunday that A-list names help raise awareness for the festival’s core mission – to celebrate movies and encourage audiences to return to theaters.
