Mirror, mirror on the wall, which “Snow White” stars aren’t friends at all? Rachel Zelger has “nothing in common” with fellow “Snow White” actress Gal Gadot — and tensions are allegedly mounting ahead of the release of their live-action Disney remake. An unnamed insider dished on the duo in an interview with People on Friday, saying the stars live completely different lives. Zegler, 23, is a young up-and-comer, while Gadot, 39, is a mom-of-four who has been married to husband Jaron Varsano since 2008 “On top of that, their political views differ, adding to the tension,” the insider added. Both...

The first time Gal Gadot visited the Hollywood Walk of Fame almost two decades ago, she had a premonition of her future in entertainment. “Between Madame Tussauds and the Hollywood stars, I remember walking there for the first time when I was 23 and seeing people dressed like superheroes,” she remembers. “And they had Wonder Woman there!” On March 18, Gadot will be there again, and this time she’ll receive her own star. But even after donning Wonder Woman’s red, black and gold costume multiple times on film — amid delivering a dozen other movie-star turns — the Israeli-born actress...

A high-ranking Hollywood talent agent for stars including Justin Timberlake and Matthew McConaughey reportedly texted “Screw the left kill all” in reaction to the recent murder of six Israeli hostages by the Hamas terrorist organization. Brandt Joel, a top agent at WME, sent and then deleted the text to a WhatsApp group that contains other WME employees but isn’t officially affiliated with the company, according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter. The WhatsApp group appeared to be for expressing pro-Israel sentiments.

Actress Rachel Zegler will not keep her opinions to herself, no matter how unpopular. Yesterday, Zegler — who became better known thanks to Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story — Tweeted out one unpopular opinion: “Free Palestine.” Zegler never says a word about the Israeli hostages taken by Hamas, or the innocent victims of the October 7th attack against Jews at an Israeli music festival. This must have caused some friction on the set of Disney’s live action “Snow White” set for release in 2025. Zegler’s co-star is Gal Gadot, who is Jewish and from Israel. I can’t imagine the pair...

Israeli Hollywood star Gal Gadot sharply criticized the world’s silence over acts of sexual violence against women in Hamas’ attack on October 7, posting early Monday morning a harsh message to her 109 million followers on Instagram, which says: "The world has failed the women of October 7th."

If you've been following Twitchy over the past month, you know that some journalists refuse to believe that Hamas terrorists beheaded infants on October 7, even though they'll freely admit that Hamas invaded Israel and shot up a music festival as well as several civilian neighborhoods, taking about 200 hostages with them. But beheading an infant? That sounds like Israeli propaganda. "Wonder Woman" actor Gal Gadot, who served in the IDF, is organizing a screening of Hamas footage from the October 7 attack and the aftermath. The Israeli government has already held two such screenings for journalists who seem to...

Gal Gadot‘s message of unity amid ongoing rocket attacks in the West Bank created a firestorm from online critics, who contend the former Israeli Defense Forces fighter is a “propaganda” tool for the Israeli military. The 36-year-old “Wonder Woman” actress took to Twitter to express how her “heart breaks,” because her “country is at war,” as tensions over a disputed Jerusalem region led to deadly exchanges of rocket fire attacks between Israel and Hamas militants. “This is a vicious cycle that has been going on for far too long,” the Israeli native tweeted Wednesday. Israel deserves to live as a...

It’s the single question that haunts all Americans as they turn the page on a dreadful year: Why is “Wonder Woman 1984” so bad? Why did this eagerly anticipated follow-up to the delightful 1917 “Wonder Woman” — starring the same stunning Gal Gadot and ­directed by the same Patty Jenkins and released for our homebound viewing on HBO Max as a Christmas Day gift to its subscribers — have to stink up the joint like no comic-book movie has since “Howard the Duck” in 1986? You know things are going wrong at the outset, when we find Diana Prince, Wonder...

Israel-born actress Gal Gadot announced Sunday that she would team up again with “Wonder Woman” director Patty Jenkins in a new film about the legendary Egyptian Queen Cleopatra. The film will be produced by Paramount and written by Laeta Kalogridis in a retelling of the epic tale made famous by Elizabeth Taylor in the 1963 classic. The announcement drew criticism, with some railing against the casting of an Israeli as the Queen of Egypt... “Which Hollywood dumba** thought it would be a good idea to cast an Israeli actress as Cleopatra...instead of a stunning Arab actress like Nadine Njeim?” tweeted...

Israeli actress Gal Gadot has been slammed on social media after she was cast to play Cleopatra in the upcoming historical epic about the iconic Egyptian queen. The 35-year-old on Sunday confirmed she will play the titular role in a new movie after Paramount Pictures won the rights to the film in a bidding war between Universal, Warner Bros., Apple and Netflix. The casting however, immediately drew outrage from confused social media users who wrongly assumed Cleopatra was black and North African.

“Look how empty their streets are and look how crowded this mosque is,” he said, in comments translated by the East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). “Who is it that has given us security and terrified them? Who is it that has protected us and harmed them?

Just call her Blunder Woman. Gal Gadot’s attempt to cheer up coronavirus isolationists with a celeb-studded cover of John Lennon’s “Imagine” backfired after Twitter users wondered why they couldn’t send money instead. “We’re all in this together,” says the “Wonder Woman” star, 34, at the start of the viral video posted Wednesday to her 38.6-million-fan Instagram page. The 3-minute clip then cuts to a montage of Gadot, Mark Ruffalo, Will Ferrell and other Hollywood elites singing different lyrics to the late Beatle star’s opus, which envisions a world without strife. “Imagine there’s no heaven,” croons Gadot, seemingly wearing little or...

"Wonder Woman" star Gal Gadot is set to play a real-life hero in a new movie she is also producing.

Gal Gadot donned her fake superhero outfit to do some real-world heroics over the weekend. The actress sported her costume from “Wonder Woman” to visit a children’s hospital. The actress, 33, arrived to cheer up some of the kids being treated at Inova Children’s Hospital in Annadale, Va., according to Variety. The actress appeared in the 2016 hit “Wonder Woman” for the DC comics extended universe (DCEU). She will appear again in “Wonder Woman 1984.”

“The Fuhrer’s swastika is today Israel’s banner!”(Fidel Castro, June 2010.) “Gal Gadot is on board to produce and possibly star in a movie based on Peter Kornbluh’s Politico article “‘My Dearest Fidel’: An ABC Journalist’s Secret Liaison With Fidel Castro.”… “When I first read Peter’s (Kornbluh’s) article, I was entranced by his thrilling account of a complicated, fascinating woman (Castro and Che Guevara groupie Lisa Howard) in the midst of a high-stakes, real-life drama,” Gadot said. “I knew immediately that I had to be involved creatively with telling (Castro and Che groupie) Lisa Howard’s story, and am thrilled to be producing this...

Justice League‘s Friday, coming off a solid $13 million Thursday, is landing at the high end of its midday estimate with $38.4M, however, Warner Bros./DC’s superhero ensemble is falling well short of $100M with an industry estimate of $93.5M over three-days, quite far from tracking’s $110M-$120M projection. How dismal is this? This event movie at a reported estimated production cost of $300M was ten years in the making, and was intended to be the pinnacle for the Warner Bros./DC universe introducing new characters such as The Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman who could hold their own franchise weight with their own...

The review embargo for “Justice League” has finally lifted, just a few days before the film comes out this weekend, and the reviews are less than fierce. While fans who have seen the film have largely reported that they like it, critics so far have a lot of problems with the all-star DC superhero action movie. Some reviewers blasted the film’s “disjointed storytelling” and convoluted CGI resulting in blurred action sequences. One critic even called it a “chaotic, baffling mess.” Also Read: 'Justice League' Film Review: DC Superheroes Battle in Vain Against the Power of Zack Snyder “And so, dear...

Wonder Woman is using her super powers to stand up for women in Hollywood. A month after canceling to appear at a dinner to honor Brett Ratner, Gal Gadot still has a lot to say about the famed director and the accusations mounting against him. Now, Gal says she won't reprise her role for future "Wonder Woman" movies unless Brett Ratner is not involved, reports Page Six. Brett Ratner's production company produced the film in conjunction with Warner Brothers. "Wonder Woman" has already brought in over $400 million. But if Gal Gadot has anything to say about it, the producer...
