Johansson told the Huffington Post she "never intended on being the face of any social or political movement, distinction, separation or stance" but will continue representing SodaStream.

Oxfam, whom Johansson also represents as a global ambassador, criticized the star for her work with SodaStream."Oxfam respects the independence of our ambassadors. However, Oxfam believes that businesses that operate in settlements further the ongoing poverty and denial of rights of the Palestinian communities that we work to support. Oxfam is opposed to all trade from Israeli settlements, which are illegal under international law."

The football Hall of Famer told the Detroit Free Press that having this year's Super Bowl in cold New Jersey was "stupid."

"The weather's going to be a problem," he said. "They made a big mistake. The game shouldn't be there. I mean, it's stupid."

"I'm just saying, if you get extreme cold or you get snow during the game, then it's unfair to the fans, to the players, to everybody," Ditka said. "You're not going to be able to perform at near the level you're used to. And the element of luck comes into it, and it shouldn't happen in that game. That game should be based on the people on the field who make the plays."
