Zacharia Suggests Scarlett Johansson for SNL Parody Amid Rapid White House Exit

Katie Zacharia, the former White House press secretary, suggested Scarlett Johansson as the ideal actor to portray her on 'Saturday Night Live' following her brief and controversial tenure. Zacharia was appointed by President Trump on October 9 but left the role after just five days, citing a 'transition out' of the position. Her departure followed a widely mocked 14-minute debut briefing and scrutiny over her legal credentials, including a new admission that she never passed the bar exam.

Scarlett Johansson's The Outset Skin Care Brand Closes After Four Years

Scarlett Johansson's clean skincare brand, The Outset, has announced it is winding down operations after roughly four and a half years. The closure, confirmed via the brand's website, ends online ordering, though existing orders will still be fulfilled. The brand, which launched in March 2022 and sold at Sephora, is part of a recent wave of celebrity beauty brand closures, including Gwen Stefani's Gxve Beauty and Kate Moss's Cosmoss. While The Outset was praised for its accessible pricing and vegan formulas, industry experts note that celebrity endorsements alone are insufficient for long-term success without consistent product efficacy and repeat customer loyalty. Consumers are now seeking alternatives, with retailers like Nordstrom and Amazon still stocking remaining inventory.
