In 2016, Gwyneth Paltrow collided with skier Terry Sanderson in Utah. Three years later, he sued her for a whopping $3.1 million, claiming she crashed into him. Paltrow counter-sued for a symbolic dollar, and the courtroom drama was like a top-notch reality show. The jury decided on March 30, 2023, that Paltrow wasn't at fault. Post-verdict, she whispered to Sanderson, "I wish you well" – a total boss lady move.

The Barbie movie shattered box office records, on its way to becoming Warner Bros.' highest-grossing film.
