3/ Pop star accused of rape, detained by police
吴亦凡涉嫌强奸被刑拘
Singer and actor Kris Wu has been detained on suspicion of rape. In a statement posted on Sina Weibo on Saturday night, police from Beijing's Chaoyang district said a 30-year-old Chinese-Canadian man surnamed Wu has been placed under investigation after being accused of tricking young women into having sex. The police said the investigation was ongoing. The statement quickly went viral on Chinese social media, and many Chinese media outlets, including People's Daily, soon confirmed the detained man was Wu.

Wu's case triggered huge public attention last month when a woman posted statements online alleging he had lured young women and girls under the age of 18 to have sex by claiming he was recruiting actresses. Du said she was one of the victims. The allegation sparked massive outrage toward Wu, who has more than 50 million followers on Weibo. Several brands severed ties with the star, and some of his promotional activities were canceled.

4/ Scarlett Johansson sues Disney
寡姐起诉迪士尼违反合约
Scarlett Johansson is suing Walt Disney. The Marvel star filed a lawsuit Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging her contract was breached when the company released “Black Widow” on its streaming service Disney+ at the same time it debuted in theaters. Johansson claims her agreement with Disney's Marvel Entertainment guaranteed an exclusive theatrical release for her solo film, and her salary was based, in large part, on the box-office performance.
斯嘉丽·约翰逊正在起诉迪士尼公司。7月29日，这位漫威明星向洛杉矶高等法院提起诉讼，指控该公司在《黑寡妇》在院线上映的同时，安排在其流媒体服务Disney+上线，违反了合同。斯嘉丽声称，她与迪士尼旗下漫威公司达成协议，承诺她的个人电影只在院线上映，而她的薪酬在很大程度上基于票房表现。
Disney long held off on releasing major titles like "Black Widow" after the pandemic decimated the movie theater industry. Theaters around the world were closed temporarily to prevent the spread of COVID-19. But as coronavirus restrictions eased, vaccination rates rose and the industry began to bounce back, Disney opted to debut new blockbusters in theaters and through Disney+ for $30 simultaneously. Disney said this hybrid release model was a temporary pandemic fix.
