Anna Faris has shared her thoughts on ex-husband Chris Pratt and his marriage to Katherine Schwarzenegger.
Scary Movie and Mom star Faris was married to the Guardians of the Galaxy actor from 2009 to 2018, with the pair announcing they had split in a joint statement released in August 2017.
Faris, 45, has been candid about her relationship breakdown in the past, and once suggested that she went through with the marriage because “everyone [was] expecting it”. She added that she “ignored” the warning signs ahead of their wedding.
Now, in a new interview, she has said that she is “getting closer” to Pratt, 43, and is “happy” with the way things have turned out.
“We’re all getting much closer, and I so appreciate that,” Faris told People. “They’re very protective of me, and I want to be very protective of them. I so appreciate their support.”
She continued: “It feels just much easier now that time has passed.

Beyond the buzz over the delays, Gabrielle Giffords, and President Obama, Endeavour's launch Monday signifies the setting of the 30-year-old shuttle program-ceding U.S. space preeminence to the Russians. Peter J. Boyer reports.
As a presidential candidate, Barack Obama once remarked that America's space program had become so uninspiring the space shuttle missions scarcely qualified as news. He could not have foreseen the drama attending the twice-delayed launch of the shuttle Endeavour. As many as half a million people crowded the beach roads and byways around Cape Canaveral to watch the stubby space plane push through the morning sky, an awesome spectacle of rocket power, before disappearing into orbit for its rendezvous with the International Space Station.

By now you've probably heard that astronauts on the International Space Station watched J.J. Abrams' Star Trek on Friday. (Here's the account in Times Online.) American astronaut Michael Barratt (left, in the photo) is evidently a hard-core fan and requested the movie specifically after realizing that "orbiting the earth in a space module was the perfect environment to watch" the flick. Also, he wouldn't have to wait in line.
I had visions of the astronauts floating in space, watching the movie as it was projected on the moon, and prompting children on Earth to point up and ask, "Is that the man in the moon, Daddy?" "No, honey, that's Spock." But actually they watched it on a computer, with their feet strapped to the floor to keep from floating away. Nasa obtained a (presumably) legal copy of the film before re-formatting the movie "to enable it to be beamed...

Because 4,000 screens and hundreds of IMAX theaters aren't enough, the latest "Star Trek" movie ended up in another venue over the weekend: The International Space Station. Nasa is filled with Star Trek fans. The first shuttle was even named the Enterprise to honor the original starship. And astronaut Michael Barratt is no different. He's a diehard Trekker, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. "After dinner on Friday, Mr. Barratt along with Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka and Koichi Wakata from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, settled into the node of the spaceship, strapped their feet to the floor to stop them floating during the screening and watched the specially-adapted film on a computer," according to the Times of London. The projectionists were Nasa technicians, who took ...

Space... the final frontier? Not the case for Star Trek, both fictionally and literally. Last week, Jj Abrams reboot was beamed into the cosmos, stopping at the International Space Station for orbiting Nasa astronaut Michael Barratt to watch. Barratt went up to the station (not pictured above) in March and won't return to the planet's surface until June, potentially missing an opportunity to see Trek on the big screen along with millions of others earthbound humans, so Paramount kindly...

Moviegoers likely will sit in crowded theaters to watch the new "Star Trek" movie, which premiered on May 8, but not Nasa astronaut Michael Barratt.
{sidebar id=1}He will have the opportunity to watch the film aboard the International Space Station, while he and two crewmates fly 220 miles above Earth. The only thing missing will be the popcorn.
Paramount Pictures transferred "Star Trek" to Nasa's Mission Control in Houston, which then uplinked the film to the space station on Thursday, May 14. Barratt plans to watch the film on a laptop computer inside the Unity module.
"I remember watching the original 'Star Trek' series and, like many of my Nasa coworkers, was inspired by the idea of people from all nations coming together to explore space," said Barratt.
