People: Johansson, fiancé welcome baby girl
Scarlett Johansson is a first-time mom.
A spokesman for the 29-year-old actress told the Associated Press on Thursday that Johansson and her fiancé, Romain Dauriac, have welcomed a baby girl, whom they’ve named Rose.
Marcel Pariseau said mother and daughter are doing well. He added that the couple are seeking privacy and are supporters of the No Kids Policy, the celebrity effort to keep famous folks’ children out of the public eye.
Johansson and Dauriac, a French former journalist, have been engaged since September, 2013. She was previously married to Ryan Reynolds.
Johansson’s recent credits include the films “Lucy,” “Chef” and “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.”
Steve-O video gets on CHP’s radar
The California Highway Patrol has requested criminal charges be filed against entertainer Steve-O for defacing a San Diego freeway sign as part of an anti-SeaWorld stunt.
Steve-O, whose full name is Stephen Gilchrist Glover, posted a YouTube video last month showing him climbing up the freeway sign to attach the word “SUCKS” after the words “SEA WORLD.”
The incident occurred May 25, but the culprit’s identity had remained a mystery until the video was posted, which showed him making prior attempts over the course of two days before succeeding. Several people can be seen helping but their identities are not revealed.
When the stunt was noticed, crews from the California Department of Transportation removed the offending word from the sign on the 5 Freeway, which had been taped over the word “DRIVE.”
In a statement released Thursday, the CHP said it had recommended charges of vandalism and trespassing to the San Diego County district attorney’s office, which will make the decision on whether to file.
Steve-O, 40, is known as a stunt performer, comedian and television personality. He has starred in the TV series “Jackass” and related movies.
