Ryan Reynolds made one of his career fantasies a reality — by getting Mariah Carey to let him use “Fantasy” in his new movie, Free Guy.
Reynolds, who has a history of using some interesting song selections in his movies after he put
Celine Dion‘s “Ashes” into
Deadpool 2, played it a little more straight this time. He tells
Variety, “I am a huge Mariah Carey fan. I got to speak with [her] and talked to her a little bit about how much of an engine and an agent of progress that this song had been in terms of our creative process. She’s just been awesome about it.”
The Mimi hookup almost didn’t happen, though, according to Reynolds, who says “I initially put a song in the script by The Outfield called ‘Your Love.’ It’s an old ’80s tune. It’s great, but it just didn’t have that epic scale I was looking for. And then ‘Fantasy’ just came on my playlist and everything clicked in.”
Britney Spears‘ new lawyer has put the pedal to the metal — and wants her dad out of her life as soon as possible.
Mathew Rosengart filed official paperwork to remove Jamie Spears as Brit’s conservator last week, but he wasn’t happy with the timeline set by the judge. Judge Brenda Penny set the next hearing on Britney’s case for September 29th, but Rosengart wants to speed things along and asked that it be held on August 23rd.
Rosengart wrote, “In short, although a two-month wait for a hearing on the Petition may not seem significant in the context of 13 years, Ms. Spears should not be forced to continue feel traumatized, lose sleep and suffer further.” (

A Canadian family became stranded on a lake in Canada and had an unexpected run-in with a shark.
Tom Lawson, a former minor league hockey goalie, was with his wife and kids on Lake Joseph in Ontario when their boat ran out of gas and left them stranded. They were getting very nervous as the sun began to set and were calling out to get someone’s attention. Luckily for them, Shark Tank star Robert Herjavec happened to be nearby on his jet ski and heard their calls for help. He said at first he thought they were calling out to him because they’re fans of Shark Tank, but then realized they needed help.
The Canadian businessman tied a rope to their boat and towed them back to shore. The family then snapped a photo with their hero. (
