'The Fall Guy' star Emily Blunt admits kissing certain costars made her want to throw up
Emily Blunt is ready to kiss and tell.
The British actress spoke candidly about how chemistry with a costar does not always equate to fondness.
"I've had chemistry with people I haven't liked. At all," she shared on "The Howard Stern Show."
EMILY BLUNT AND JOHN KRASINSKI SPARK INTERNET FRENZY AS FANS ANALYZE RED CARPET CONVERSATION
"Who?" Stern inquired.
"I'm not gonna tell you," Blunt answered. Working in the film industry for more than two decades, Blunt has starred opposite many big names, including Tom Cruise in "Edge of Tomorrow," Colin Firth in "Arthur Newman" and Matt Damon in "The Adjustment Bureau." She also costarred alongside husband John Krasinski in "A Quiet Place," although their characters did not technically lock lips on camera.
"I have had chemistry with people who...I have not had a good time working with them," she added, without disclosing their identity.
"Sometimes it's a strange thing. Sometimes you could really, really like someone, and you could be pals, and you could have a rapport that's really effortless, but it doesn't translate onscreen and chemistry is this strange thing. It's an ethereal thing that you can't really bottle up and buy or sell. It's like there or it's not."

However, Blunt said "you can manufacture" the chemistry to some extent. "It's just easier when you have a natural rapport with someone," she explained. "My feeling is I've got to find something I love about everybody. I have to find something ... Even if it's one thing," she emphasized.
"It might be like they have a nice laugh…or I like how they speak to people. They’re polite," she offered as examples. "I mean, it might be something random, but find something you love about that person or something you love about them as the character…And then kind of lean into that."

"Have you ever had to kiss someone on screen and you wanted to throw up? Like it was that bad," Stern asked.
"Absolutely. Absolutely," Blunt confessed.
Stern dug deeper, asking, "Do you go home and shower and, like, just try to get it out of your mind? I can't imagine."
"I wouldn't say it's sort of extreme loathing," she said with a brief laugh. "But I've definitely not enjoyed some of it."
Blunt's latest costar is Ryan Gosling, whom she stars alongside in the upcoming film, "The Fall Guy." Of Gosling, Blunt said she feels "very lucky to be friends with a gem of a person like him."

New York college student, 19, in coma after illegal dirt bike hit-and-run
A University of Albany student is in a coma after she was struck by an "illegal dirt bike" on April 27 just after midnight, according to her family and the Albany Police Department in New York.
Alexa Kropf, 19, of Long Island, is showing small signs of improvement this week after undergoing multiple surgeries, and she will have to be medevaced home once she is released from the hospital.
"It's a nightmare for a parent. I wish it on no one ever," Alexa's father, Jim Kropf, told Fox News Digital.
Alexa Kropf has undergone two brain surgeries to remove bleeding and swelling, her father said. She also suffered two broken bones in her lower right leg, fractures in her pelvis, five broken ribs and bruised lungs, he told Fox News Digital.
BRIDE-TO-BE SHOT AT DC NIGHTCLUB DAYS BEFORE WEDDING VOWS TO ‘NEVER RETURN’ TO CITY
Jim Kropf described his daughter as loving, fun, responsible and hard-working. She is "a best friend" to her younger sister, and her younger brother "looks up to her."
"When you look at this beautiful girl, who now has her head half shaved, and you can see the 50 staples that are in her skull because her skull had been cut open two times for the surgery – you see that the swelling and the scars and the more staples in her leg… a feeding tube, oxygen up through her nose, as well – it's horrific. Every single time I approach the bed to talk to her, it's so emotional. And you have to stay positive. It's such torture – torture as a parent to have to do that."
NYPD IMPOUNDS 80 UNLICENSED MIGRANT MOPEDS FROM OUTSIDE ROOSEVELT AND WATSON HOTEL CENTERS
Albany police are still searching for the suspect, described as a male, who was "driving an illegal dirt bike at a high rate of speed while weaving in and out of groups of people in the roadway" on the 400 block of Hudson Avenue when he hit Kropf, according to a press release.
"While driving at a high rate of speed, the suspect struck the victim and caused her to be thrown in the air, and land in the roadway several feet away from the initial impact," police said.
Alexa had been out with friends that Saturday night; the dirt-biker hit her on a one-way street. Jim expressed gratitude for Alexa's friends, who immediately called for help.
MIGRANT MOPED GANG STEALING PHONES, HACKING VICTIMS' BANK ACCOUNTS, NYPD WARNS
"From what I understand, [Alexa's friends'] recollection is that the officer pretty much said, 'You can't leave,' because [the suspect] had fallen off the bike," Jim explained. "They tended to my daughter and then they turned around and he pretty much flipped them off, as they say, and got back on the bike and drove away."
The 19-year-old was in critical condition upon arrival at Albany Medical Center Hospital on April 27. Jim thanked the medical staff with the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU), the Ronald McDonald House for providing a place for his family to stay while visiting Alexa in the hospital, and local law enforcement.
A GoFundMe titled "UAlbany Alexa Kropf Hit and Run" has been created to help Kropf's recovery.
The Albany County Sheriff's Department reportedly ran an illegal dirty bike detail throughout Albany on May 2 and seized 10 illegal bikes. They also issued 21 traffic violations and made two arrests for aggravated unlicensed operation, according to News 10. The prevalence of illegal or unlicensed bikes and mopeds has been a recent issue for major cities, including New York CIty and Washington, D.C.
Authorities are asking anyone with information about the hit-and-run to contact the Albany Police Traffic and Safety Division at (518) 458-5628. Anonymous tipsters can send information to Capital Region Crime Stoppers at www.capitalregioncrimestoppers.com or by downloading the free P3 Tips mobile app.
Speaker Johnson to discuss issues with Marjorie Taylor Green ahead of her threats to oust him
House Speaker Mike Johnson is expected to meet privately, one-on-one, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Monday at 3:30 p.m. amid speculation that she may trigger a motion to remove him from his post, a source familiar confirmed to Fox News Digital.
Over a month ago, Greene filed a motion to vacate, accusing the Louisiana Republican of having "betrayed the confidence" of the House GOP Conference by ushering through a bipartisan $1.2 trillion federal funding bill to avoid a partial government shutdown.
Her resolution earned two co-sponsors in Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., after the House passed a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine earlier this month. Last week, Greene announced plans to trigger the motion this week, as early as Monday evening.
"We need leaders in the House of Representatives that are gonna get this done," Greene said last week, holding up a red "Make America Great Again" hat. "Not working for Hakeem Jeffries. Not working for Joe Biden, and not going to be twisted and lulled into continuing the disgusting practices of Washington, D.C."
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE FILES MOTION TO OUST SPEAKER JOHNSON
Johnson said in a statement after her announcement, "This motion is wrong for the Republican Conference, wrong for the institution, and wrong for the country."
Greene responded to accusations that her push would fuel more chaos for congressional Republicans by arguing that House Republicans would lose the majority in November if Johnson remained at the helm.
She also denied that she was defying former President Trump, who backed Johnson in comments on a radio show last month.
Greene's push to oust Johnson just six months after he took the gavel mostly fell flat within the House GOP, with even Johnson's critics showing little appetite to go through another three weeks of chaos and disorder that followed the ouster of Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., in early October last year.
HOUSE DEMS SAY THEY’LL BLOCK MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE FROM OUSTING SPEAKER JOHNSON
The Republican Main Street Caucus, including Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas., announced they would hold a press event Monday following floor votes to discuss the motion to vacate. Crenshaw on Sunday told Fox News' Neil Cavuto that Greene "needs her time in the spotlight" and is a "last-ditch effort to get a little attention."
Crenshaw said there's a "large and strong majority" who will likely table the motion, noting that there is very little support for Greene and Massie's effort.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE CALLS JOHNSON'S FOREIGN AID PACKAGE HIS '3RD BETRAYAL' OF AMERICAN PEOPLE
"And it's based in what exactly, that Mike Johnson brought bills to the floor that were necessary for our national security, that the vast majority of members wanted to vote on? So allowing the democratic process to move forward is apparently the crime of the century, according to these people," Crenshaw chided.
"They make it impossible for us to have any leverage with our very slim majority, and then they turn around and punish the speaker when they can't actually make a deal that we want," Crenshaw added.
"It's a game, and voters have to stop falling for it."
UN agency accused of being part of Hamas after Israel strikes terrorist HQ
JERUSALEM – The Israel Defense Forces and the country’s domestic security agency Shin Bet announced that a military strike on Sunday targeted a Hamas command center located in the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) compound in the Gaza Strip.
According to an IDF statement, "The strike was carefully planned and carried out using precise munition in order to minimize harm to uninvolved civilians."
The statement said, "The command and control center was used as a staging ground for multiple attacks on IDF troops located in Gaza's central corridor in recent weeks. Furthermore, the forward operations base was used to carry out attacks on humanitarian efforts, which aims to increase the distribution of humanitarian aid to Gazan civilians."
The IDF statement added, "Hamas oversaw the supply of weapons to dozens of Hamas terrorists from inside the command and control center, including those located and operating inside underground terror tunnels. Hamas intentionally positioned the command and control position within the vicinity of an active UNRWA location, jeopardizing the Gazan civilians taking refuge there. As a result of the strike, the Hamas’ command and control center located in the UNRWA complex is no longer operational."
When approached about the IDF strike on the UNRWA facility and the contention that the U.N.’s facility was a Hamas terrorist command center, a UNRWA spokesperson, Juliette Touma, told Fox News Digital, "On this particular incident we don’t have more information. For all violations of the inviolability of United Nations premises we call for investigations."
The IDF and Shin Bet joint statement said, "The Hamas terrorist organization systematically exploits the civilian population and institutions as human shields for their terrorist activities against the State of Israel."
When asked if Hamas was endangering UNRWA employees and Palestinians by using UNRWA schools and other buildings to store weapons and lodge terrorists, Touma told Fox News Digital, "You see, we don’t know if the above claim is true."
David Bedein, an Israeli expert on UNRWA, told Fox News Digital that "the past seven months of combat, UNRWA facilities in Judea and Samaria (West Bank), in Jerusalem and in Gaza, have been shown to be filled with weapons, ammunition and missiles. What we have uncovered over a period of over 37 years is UNRWA is Hamas and Hamas is UNRWA."
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION SILENT OVER HAMAS' USE OF GAZA HOSPITAL AS TERROR HQ
Bedein is the director of the Center for Near East Policy Research and has published numerous reports on UNRWA's curriculum that documented pro-terrorism and pro-antisemitic teaching.
Bedein added, "Since the IDF discovered so many weapons in 40 schools and hospitals over the last six months, how does UNRWA account for the massive amount of weapons found in UNRWA schools and medical facilities in Gaza and Jenin in the West Bank?"
When Fox News Digital sent Touma from UNRWA Bedein’s question, she wrote, "We call for accountability and investigations into ALL violations by ALL parties to the conflict into the breaches of international law and the lack of protection of U.N. premises and personnel in Gaza."
UN, HUMAN RIGHTS, MEDIA GROUPS RELY ON HAMAS DEATH TOLL IN 'SYSTEMATIC DECEPTION': EXPERT
Over the weekend, Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner in charge of UNRWA, took to X to complain, "The Israeli Authorities continue to deny humanitarian access to the United Nations. Just this week, they have denied – for the second time – my entry to Gaza where I planned to be with our @UNRWA teams including those on the front lines. The past while recorded an increase in the denial of humanitarian access & attacks on humanitarian workers and convoys."
Fox News Digital sent a press query to Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs about Lazzarini’s complaints. Touma, the UNRWA spokeswoman, said, "I’m not sure if the government of Israel responded" to Lazzarini’s X post.
In January, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz urged Lazzarini to resign over accusations that his agency’s workers participated in the Hamas-run massacre of nearly 1,200 people in southern Israel on Oct. 7. Hamas murdered over 30 Americans during the invasion.
Katz said Israel would no longer be meeting with UNRWA. "I have just canceled the meetings of UNRWA head, Lazzarini, with officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Israel on Wednesday," Katz wrote, adding. "UNRWA employees participated in the massacre of October 7."
Israel is slated to launch an incursion into the last major bastion of Hamas control in the city of Rafah, where Hamas mastermind terrorist Yahya Sinwar has reportedly surrounded himself with hostages as human shields.
Nigerian journalist's arrest sparks outcry over press freedom restrictions
A Nigerian journalist’s arrest last week has triggered criticism of worsening press freedoms in the West African country.
Daniel Ojukwu with the Foundation for Investigative Journalism went missing last Wednesday in the economic hub of Lagos. His family and employer found out on Friday that he was detained and held in a police station for allegedly violating the country’s Cybercrime Act, often criticized as a tool for censorship.
The arrest of Ojukwu, who was later transferred to the Nigerian capital of Abuja, follows his report about alleged financial mismanagement of over $104,600 involving a senior government official, according to his employer, the foundation.
RUSSIAN JOURNALIST DETAINED FOR POSTS CRITICIZING THE MILITARY, LAWYER SAYS
Nigeria is ranked 112th out of 180 countries in the latest World Press Freedom Index by Reporters Without Borders. It is known for the country's tough environment for journalists who face frequent abductions, arrests and prosecution, usually after reporting on chronic corruption and bad governance plaguing the oil-rich country.
At least 25 journalists have been prosecuted under the country’s Cybercrime Act since it was introduced in 2015, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. They include eight detained under President Bola Tinubu whose government, in power since May last year, touts itself as one encouraging press freedoms — a claim it repeated last week during World Press Freedom Day events.
The Cybercrime Act was amended this year to remove some harsh provisions but the police still use it to "silence journalists and critics," Amnesty International’s Nigeria office said.
Nigeria's law requires a suspect to be charged or released within 48 hours following arrest. Ojukwu, however, was not allowed any means of communication or access to a lawyer until his third day in custody, said Oke Ridwan, a human rights lawyer who met with the journalist at the police station where he was held.
Nigeria's Minister of Information Mohammed Idris Malagi told The Associated Press that he is making efforts to resolve the case and is "on top of the issue." Local and international civil society groups have condemned the detention.
It is a "symptom of a larger problem within Nigeria’s law enforcement agencies, and their relationship with politically exposed persons undermining democratic principles," a coalition of at least 30 civil society groups known as the Action Group on Protection of Civic Actors said in a statement on Monday.
"The Nigerian Police Force has veered off course from its duty to uphold law and order to become an oppressive tool in stifling dissent and independent journalism," it added.
Australian teen who stabbed man in back, was shot by police, was in 'deradicalization program'
A 16-year-old boy who was shot dead by police after stabbing a man in the Australian west coast city of Perth had been in a deradicalization program but had no links to an alleged network of teen extremists in the east coast city of Sydney, authorities said.
The boy had participated in the federally funded Countering Violent Extremism program for two years but had no criminal record, Western Australia Police Minister Paul Papalia said Monday.
"The challenge we confront with people like the 16-year-old in this incident is that he’s known to hold views that are dangerous and potentially he could be radicalized," Papalia said. "But the problem with individuals like this is they can act at short notice without warning and be very dangerous."
AUSTRALIA ACCUSES CHINA OF RECKLESS BEHAVIOR AFTER FIGHTER JET DROPPED FLARES IN FRONT OF HELICOPTER
On the potential for the boy to have been radicalized, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said he was concerned by social media pushing extreme positions.
"It’s a dynamic that isn’t just an issue for government. It’s an issue for our entire society, whether it be violent extremism, misogyny and violence against women. It is an issue that of course I’m concerned about," Albanese told reporters.
Western Australia Police Commissioner Col Blanch said the boy had phoned police late Saturday saying he was about to commit "acts of violence" but did not say where. Minutes later, a member of the public reported to police seeing the boy with a knife in a hardware store parking lot.
Three police officers responded, one armed with a gun and two with stun guns. Police deployed both stun guns but they failed to incapacitate the boy before he was killed by a single gunshot, Blanch said.
The stabbing victim is a man in his 30s who was wounded in his back. He was in serious but stable condition at a Perth hospital, police said.
Blanch said members of the local Muslim community had raised concerns with police about the boy’s behavior before he was killed on Saturday.
The boy had said in a text message to associates, "I am going on the path of jihad tonight for the sake of Allah," Australian Associated Press reported, prompting several to alert police.
Police said the stabbing had the hallmarks of a terrorist attack but have not declared it as such. Factors that can influence that decision include whether state police need federal resources, including the Australian Security Intelligence Organization domestic spy agency.
Blanch said the Western Australia Police Force investigation did not need additional federal resources and he was confidence the situation was different from the one in Sydney.
"We are dealing with complex issues, both mental health issues but also online radicalization issues," Blanch said Sunday. "But we believe he very much is acting alone and we do not have concerns at this time that there is an ongoing network or other concerns that might have been seen over in Sydney."
Western Australia Premier Roger Cook said his government and the state education department had been aware of concerns at the boy's school about his behavior. Cook didn't directly respond to reports that several boys at Rossmoyne Senior High School, the prestigious government school he attended, were attempting to radicalize classmates.
"I'll leave that up the the Education Department to clarify," Cook told reporters. "This young man was harboring some extremist thoughts, which is the reason why he was part of the Countering Violent Extremism program."
Amanda Spencer-Teo, a parent of a Rossmoyne student, said multiple "red flags" had been raised about the behavior of some students.
"Parents have been raising this with the school for some time," Spencer-Teo, who will be an opposition party candidate at state elections next year, told The Australian newspaper. "The school and the department have failed to provide information to those concerned parents."
In the stabbings at a Sydney church on April 15, New South Wales Police Commissioner Karen Webb declared the stabbings of an Assyrian Orthodox bishop and priest as a terrorist act within hours. The boy arrested was later charged with committing a terrorist act. In the subsequent investigation, six more teenagers were charged with terror-related offenses.
Police alleged all seven were part of a network that "adhered to a religiously motivated, violent extremist ideology."
Some Muslim leaders have criticized Australian police for declaring the church stabbing a terrorist act but not a rampage two days earlier in a Sydney shopping mall in which six people were killed and a dozen wounded.
The 40-year-old attacker, who was shot dead by police, had a history of schizophrenia and most of the victims he targeted were women. Police have yet to reveal the man’s motive.
Building fire that killed 76 in South Africa was caused by building negligence, report says
A report into a building fire that killed 76 people in South Africa last year has concluded that city authorities should be held responsible because they were aware of serious safety issues at the rundown apartment block at least four years before the blaze.
The nighttime fire at the five-story building in downtown Johannesburg on Aug. 31 was one of South Africa's worst disasters. At least 12 children were among the dead and another 86 people were injured, with some having to leap out of windows to escape the flames.
Others said they threw small children out the windows in the hope that they would be caught by people below. Many of the victims were burned beyond recognition having become trapped in the overcrowded building and it took authorities weeks to identify bodies using DNA tests.
JOHANNESBURG BUILDING FIRE LEAVES AT LEAST 73 DEAD, 52 INJURED
Retired Judge Sisi Khampepe was put in charge of the inquiry, which began in October. She delivered the first part of her report on Sunday and concluded that the City of Johannesburg, which owns the building, had shown "total disregard" for its "calamitous state."
In the wake of the fire, hundreds of people were found to be living illegally in the building, some of them in shacks that had been erected in the corridors, the bathrooms and the basement, which was meant to be a parking garage. Emergency services said that the fire extinguishers had been taken off the walls and the main fire escape was found to be locked on the night of the fire.
The inside of the building was strewn with waste and that combined with the makeshift wooden shacks to make the blaze especially deadly, Khampepe's report found.
Yet city officials, national immigration officials and police officers had raided the building in 2019, and "found the distressing living conditions in the building that contributed to the devastation of the fire," Khampepe told reporters after delivering her report.
She recommended that disciplinary action be taken against the chief executive officer of the Johannesburg Property Company, which oversees the city's buildings. She also said that the building should be demolished and a plaque erected as a memorial to the dozens of victims.
The tragedy revealed the extent of the decay in parts of South Africa's biggest city and economic hub, where many buildings have been "hijacked" by illegal landlords, who rent out space to people desperate for somewhere to live. The buildings are often overcrowded and safety precautions are disregarded.
There was a stunning development at the inquiry in January when a man due to testify as a resident of the building said that he had started the fire to burn the body of a man he had killed on the orders of a drug dealer.
The man who made the shocking confession was arrested and charged with 76 counts of murder and arson.
Jake Paul says he has to 'end' Mike Tyson as summer fight is sanctioned
Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have been building up their fight with a war of words and ferocious training videos aimed at one another in recent weeks.
With the fight recently being sanctioned, Paul suggested he has something bigger to accomplish when he steps into the ring on July 20.

"I love Mike. I’m super respectful of him. It’s an honor to be in the ring with him. But I have to end him," Paul told USA Today at Formula One’s Grand Prix of Miami on Sunday.
"It’s war. All is fair in love and war. I love the guy, but as soon as it turned into a pro fight, one of us has to die," the YouTube star-turned boxer added.
Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation approved the rules for the fight last week. It was sanctioned as a professional boxing match, meaning the rounds will be shorter and the gloves heavier.
"This will be a professional bout with a referee and judges and the results will count as part of the fighters’ professional records. So – it’s an actual competitive fight," a spokesperson for the agency told The Associated Press.
Paul last fought Ryan Bourland in Puerto Rico and won via TKO. He’s 9-1 in his professional boxing career with his only blemish coming against Tommy Fury via split decision.
Tyson is 50-6 in his professional career. His last professional fight, which he lost, was against Kevin McBride. Tyson had an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020. Paul fought Nate Robinson on that card.

Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger claims Louisiana governor 'trying to take us back to the Stone Age'
Rolling Stones’ frontman Mick Jagger ignited a small feud between himself and the Louisiana governor on Thursday while performing in the state.
The 80-year-old British singer and his band performed at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival to a sold-out show. After finishing the song "You Can’t Always Get What You Want," Jagger called out Gov. Jeff Landry by name.
"We're a welcoming crowd, aren't we?" Jagger asked. "I hope Mr. Landry is enjoying the show. He's real inclusive you know. He's trying to take us back to the Stone Age."
LOUISIANA WILL FORM A NEW CITY OF ALMOST 100,000 PEOPLE AFTER BATTLE MADE IT TO STATE SUPREME COURT
Shortly after the comment, the Republican governor responded on social media, appearing to mock the singer as well.
"You can’t always get what you want," he posted on X. "The only person who might remember the Stone Age is Mick Jagger. Love you buddy, you’re always welcome in Louisiana! #LoveMyCountryMusic."
Though Jagger did not elaborate, Landry has supported several conservative policies since his inauguration in January, such as enacting more tough-on-crime legislation and enshrining Constitutional Carry into law.
Landry also indicated that he would support bills that were previously vetoed by former Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, such as one that would prohibit gender identity discussion in K-12 public schools and require teachers to inform parents about students changing their pronouns.
Though Landry might get away with referencing the iconic "You Can’t Always Get What You Want," not all politicians have escaped scrutiny. In 2016, the band demanded then-candidate Donald Trump stop using the song, during campaign rallies, as well as "Start Me Up."
When he continued to use the song in 2020, the band finally demanded legal action in partnership with BMI, a performing arts rights organization.

"The BMI have notified the Trump campaign on behalf of the Stones that the unauthorized use of their songs will constitute a breach of its licensing agreement," said the statement. "If Donald Trump disregards the exclusion and persists then he would face a lawsuit for breaking the embargo and playing music that has not been licensed."
