Hilaria Baldwin takes a stroll in the Hamptons with her kids amid ongoing Spanish heritage saga – Daily Mail

Hilaria Baldwin has been pictured for the first time since she was accused of faking her accent and lying about her Spanish heritage as she stepped out for a stroll with her kids and husband Alec Baldwin in the Hamptons. The 36-year-old Boston native was spotted out walking with her brood and two nannies near the luxury home in New York state that she shares with her SNL actor husband.   She sported head to toe black in a potential hope to stay incognito in the wake of the huge storm that has erupted about her 'fake' Spanish heritage claims.  Alec came to join the group soon after, scaling a fence in just a t-shirt despite the chilly temperatures.  The family enjoyed the fresh air for about an hour before retreating once again to their home where Hilaria has been holed up ever since she w...

All the Marvel and DC Movies Still Set To Come Out in 2021 – ComicBook.com

Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, 2020 was a disruptive year in many areas of life. Many industries were affected, including the film industry, with theaters struggling to remain open as studios delay releasing movies until large audiences can safely gather to watch them on a big screen. After years of getting multiple movies from Marvel Studios, Sony Pictures, and DC Films, superhero cinema fans had very little in 2020, with a gap between the release of Birds of Prey early in the year and Wonder Woman 1984's debut on Christmas Day. If things go according to the current plan, that's all going to change in 2021. It looks like it will be a slim year from DC Films, with only one film on its schedule after pushing The Batman into 2022. However, Marvel Studios looks to be making up for i...

Both the police and federal authorities — the FBI and the Food and Drug Administration — are investigating the tampering at Advocate Aurora Health H...
