Scarlett Johansson slams SNL’s 'gross' vagina joke: ‘It was intense. I felt like I’d pass out!'
- YouTubeyoutu.be
She says she was given a heads-up that Che had written a joke involving her, but she didn’t expect it to be so explicit. “I thought, ‘It’s just a joke about my vagina. How bad could it be?’” Johansson said. “And then the Costco reference came up, and I was like, ‘No! No, Michael!’”
What made it even more overwhelming was the sudden swarm of cameras trained on her to capture her reaction. “It was intense. Lights, cameras and everyone was waiting for me to do something. I felt like I was going to pass out,” she recalled.
Johansson reacts to Colin Jost’s shocking SNL punchline written by Michael CheGetty Images
After the show, Johansson and Jost both felt drained. “My nerves were shot,” she admitted. “Colin was feeling the same way.”
Despite her willingness to laugh it off at SNL, Johansson has firm boundaries in her personal life. One of them is not taking photos with fans in public. “People sometimes take it personally, but I don’t want to be tagged or identified in a specific time or place,” she explained. “I like keeping to myself when I’m not working. I don’t want to feel self-conscious.” Johansson says it’s important to her to live in the moment without the pressure of being “on” all the time.

Despite the viral moment, Johansson says she’s learnt to take it all in stride. “I can laugh about it now,” she said, “but it also reminded me why I’m protective of my privacy. Some things are just for me.” For Johansson, keeping parts of her life off-limits isn’t about being distant, it’s about staying grounded, even when the spotlight gets a little too bright.
Amitabh Bachchan buys prime land near Ram Mandir in Ayodhya for father’s memorial
The sale was confirmed by Ayodhya’s Stamp and Registration Department. Pratap Singh, an official from the department, stated that while they have processed the sale deeds, the specific purpose of the land will only become clear once the local development authority approves any building plans.

Both transactions were handled by Rajesh Rishikesh Yadav on behalf of Bachchan.
Ayodhya seems to hold personal significance for Amitabh Bachchan. He previously shared that the city’s deep spiritual roots and cultural heritage have created an emotional bond for him. “This is not just about property,” he said in an earlier statement. “It’s about a connection to Ayodhya’s traditions and timeless spirit.”
Bachchan’s first plot, located within "The Sarayu," a luxury development project by Mumbai’s House of Abhinandan Lodha, is close to the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple and sits along the banks of the Sarayu River. That purchase was reportedly finalised for ₹14.50 crore.
On the professional front, the veteran actor was last seen in Kalki 2898 AD (2024), where he portrayed Ashwatthama alongside Prabhas and Deepika Padukone.
With these recent investments, Bachchan seems to be definitely weaving a personal legacy with the evolving spiritual and cultural landscape of Ayodhya.
Stan Lee’s tragic final years: Shocking new documentary exposes elder abuse and exploitation

Bolerjack has launched a Kickstarter campaign to complete the film, aiming to raise over £230,000. Much of the footage was recorded while Bolerjack was part of Lee’s inner circle. He claims the comic icon’s name and signatures were used to make enormous sums of money, most of which never made it back to Lee himself.
Stan Lee died in 2018 at 95, shortly after battling pneumonia. Though his name became synonymous with Marvel and superheroes, his personal finances didn’t reflect his cultural impact. At the time of his death, his estimated net worth was $50 million. Lee had even sued former business partners in 2018, calling them “opportunists” who tried to control his estate after his wife’s death.

The documentary features interviews with comic book veterans like Roy Thomas, Rob Liefeld, and Mark Waid. Many, including Waid, express regret for not realising sooner just how badly Lee was treated.
Bolerjack says Lee gave him permission to tell this story before he passed away. For Bolerjack, it’s about setting the record straight and warning others. “Stan didn’t feel shame,” Bolerjack said. “He wanted this known.”

Telugu actor Mohan Babu accused of murdering actress Soundarya in 2004
Late actress Soundarya, whose tragic death in 2004 is now back in the headlinesInstagram/actresssoundarya
Now, 22 years later, a man named Chittimallu has alleged that Soundarya’s death was not an accident, but murder. He claims there was an unresolved land dispute between Soundarya’s family and Mohan Babu. According to the complaint, Mohan Babu had pressured Soundarya and her brother to sell six acres of land located in Jallepalli, Shamshabad. When they refused, tensions allegedly escalated. After their deaths, the complainant says Babu illegally occupied the disputed property.
The activist has urged authorities to reclaim the land and hand it over for public welfare suggesting it could benefit orphans, military families, or journalists. He has also expressed concern for his own safety, alleging he received threats from Mohan Babu, and is seeking police protection.

At this point, no formal case (FIR) has been registered. There’s no confirmation of any direct link between Chittimallu and Soundarya’s family. However, the complaint also mentions ongoing rifts within the Manchu family, pointing to Mohan Babu’s strained relationship with his younger son Manchu Manoj. Last year, Mohan Babu was in the spotlight for allegedly assaulting a journalist during a family dispute.
Mohan Babu, known for his villainous roles in South Indian films, has yet to respond publicly to these serious accusations. Authorities have not made any official statements about launching an investigation.
Actor Aziz Ansari, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by a woman with whom he went on a date last year, has responded to the claims saying the two engaged in "sexual activity, which by all indications was completely consensual".
The 34-year-old actor's statement comes after a 23-year-old Brooklyn-based photographer recounted a date with him that she called "the worst night of my life" in an interview with Babe.net.
"In September of last year, I met a woman at a party. We exchanged numbers. We texted back and forth and eventually went on a date.
"We went out to dinner, and afterwards we ended up engaging in sexual activity, which by all indications was completely consensual," Ansari said in a statement given to People magazine.
The Master of None actor further said a text by the woman, named as 'Grace' in the article, said that she felt uneasy with how things transpired the night before and responded to her privately as he was "concerned" about her.
"The next day, I got a text from her saying that although 'it may have seemed okay,' upon further reflection, she felt uncomfortable. It was true that everything did seem okay to me, so when I heard that it was not the case for her, I was surprised and concerned. I took her words to heart and responded privately after taking the time to process what she had said," he said.
Ansari, who became the first man of Asian descent to win Golden Globe recently for his performance in the Netflix show, added he supported the movement that has given women a chance to speak up about the injustice they have been subjected to till date.
"I continue to support the movement that is happening in our culture. It is necessary and long overdue," he said.
In the interview, the woman vividly described how she exchanged numbers with Ansari at the 2017 Emmy Awards after- party and went on a date with him on a bar on the banks of the Hudson river, which escalated quickly to a sexual encounter at his apartment.
The woman said she voiced her hesitation explicitly during their encounter.
She said she "used verbal and non-verbal cues to indicate how uncomfortable and distressed she was". The woman added that her reticence to engage in the act was "ignored" by the actor.
Grace alleged Ansari called her a cab when she wanted to leave and texted her the next day.
She shared a screenshot of the alleged conversation, in which she said, "Last night might've been fun for you, but it wasn't for me. You ignored clear non-verbal cues; you kept going with advances."
To this the actor allegedly replied, "I'm so sad to hear this. All I can say is, it would never be my intention to make you or anyone feel the way you described. Clearly, I misread things in the moment and I'm truly sorry."
Grace said she decided to come forward with the incident after she saw Ansari wearing a Time's Up pin at the Golden Globe Awards last week, where he won best comedy actor in a TV series.
"It took a really long time for me to validate this as sexual assault. I was debating if this was an awkward sexual experience or sexual assault. And that's why I confronted so many of my friends and listened to what they had to say, because I wanted validation that it was actually bad," she said in the interview.
