New parents

AARON PAUL and wife Lauren are new parents to an adorable baby girl. The “Breaking Bad” star and his wife have welcomed their first child. The happy couple revealed the exciting news Thursday, sharing some heartwarming snapshots of their newborn daughter to Instagram.

The couple — who began dating after meeting at Coachella and ended up tying the knot at a ceremony in Malibu, California, in May 2013 — first announced they were expecting back in September.

Awards

THE USC Libraries Scripter Awards, which recognize adapted screenplays and their source material, were handed out Saturday night, with “Call Me by Your Name” and “The Handmaid’s Tale” taking top honors in film and television, respectively. Last year “Moonlight” won the film award and, in a tie, “The People v. O.J. Simpson” and “The Night Manager” won the TV award.

The awards were handed out in the Edward L. Doheny Jr. Memorial Library at USC.

A different voice

JUST over a month after French actress Catherine Deneuve (among others) signed an editorial in French daily Le Monde criticizing the current #MeToo movement for restricting sexual freedom, another filmmaker is condemning the cause.

In a Feb. 9 interview with Austrian daily Kurier, director Michael Haneke said, “This new puritanism colored by a hatred of men, arriving on the heels of the #MeToo movement, worries me.” The Oscar-nominated director of “Amour” added, “As artists, we’re starting to be fearful since we’re faced with this crusade against any form of eroticism.”(SD-Agencies)
