Blake Lively’s It Ends With Us made headlines ahead of its release but it was not positive publicity. The drama that surrounded the film’s out-of-touch marketing, the alleged rift between the cast, and the absence of Justin Baldoni from the majority of the appearances affected the movie’s reputation.

However, another new sci-fi movie had successfully escaped a similar conundrum from repeating. According to rumors, Lively had taken over postproduction of the movie and pushed for her final cut to be released in theatre. On the contrary, Mickey 17 director Bong Joon-ho stuck to his vision, and despite several conflicting opinions, got to create his cut for the film.

Too many cooks spoil the broth: Creative clash

Colleen Hoover‘s 2016 best-seller novel was adapted by Christy Hall as the infamous movie It Ends With Us. The film featured Blake Lively, Brandon Sklenar, and Justin Baldoni who also served as the director,...

When it comes to dating, Tobey Maguire’s proving that age is just a number—at least, that’s what he probably told himself while holding hands with his Gen Z girlfriend. The Spider-Man star’s getting roasted for the serious age gap between him and his young love, and honestly, it’s a bit of a plot twist.

But let’s be real—if we can accept Dwayne Johnson’s workout routine, we can probably handle this love story. So while some are clutching their pearls over the age difference, Maguire’s out here swinging through life like it’s just another day in the multiverse.

There are a lot of expectations that come with being a celebrity. You gotta maintain your physique, always look the best even when you are about to hop on a 14-hour-long flight, and simply keep your charming self on full display, no matter how bad the weather. When you are someone like Tom Cruise, someone who the entire world looks up to, you just have a little bit more expectations to live up to.

Tom Cruise has always been Hollywood’s dream man, a superstar who makes us all go weak in the knees with a simple smile. However, not everyone realizes the hard work that goes into keeping that smile as radiant as ever. You gotta put your best foot (or tooth) forward even when they literally fall off in front of a guest. Yikes.

For six seasons, we followed the story of Gossip Girl. Throughout the whole series, we wondered who was behind the blog that exposed the secrets of New York’s elite.

Well, the time has come to relive it all on Netflix. Well, almost. The series will be back on the streaming platform at the end of this month. It was previously on Max.

When will Gossip Girl come to Netflix?

The CW series will head back to Netflix on Tuesday, Oct. 29. All six seasons will arrive together, giving you the chance to relive the drama, the relationships, and the gossip. It’s a chance to look back at the highs and lows, and still question whether the ending was the right one.

Netflix confirmed the release on X:

Former Gossip Girl Leighton Meester is likely to catch wind of some 1800s rumors in her new role.

Blake Lively is facing backlash amid her press tour for It Ends With Us. Old interviews have resurfaced of the 36-year-old actress where she uses a transgender slur. In another instance, the reporter called the interview a “nightmare.” Continue reading to find out what she said and how fans are reacting.

Old Interview Resurfaces Of Blake Lively Using Defamatory Term

Several interviews with Blake Lively over the years have resurfaced. Now, fans are calling her out on social media for using a transgender slur multiple times.

In an interview with Elle magazine in 2012, the This Ends With Us star used the word “trannies” when speaking about her future children. A social media user called her out on Sunday, bringing up the old interview.

“sometimes ill [sic] be quietly going about my day and then ill [sic] remember the time blake lively said this to a journalist,” a person posted on X. They...

A few things Blake Lively and Jennifer Lopez have in common are that they’re both big-name movie stars, married to fellow big-name actors, and have received a ton of backlash on social media.

There’s been a lot of chatter about Lively’s new film It End With Us, which has dominated the box office, and what went on behind-the-scenes with her co-star Justin Baldoni who is also the film’s director. The alleged friction between them has caused each to do their promotional tours separately.

Now, Lively has come under fire and the internet is calling it a downfall similar to what Lopez experienced.

In March, Lively had a Mea culpa after she jumped on the Kate Middleton...

Renowned rapper Missy Elliott thrilled fans with news of her highly anticipated first headline tour, titled “Out of This World — The Missy Elliott Experience.” Set to take place throughout North America this summer, the tour promises an extraordinary lineup that features Busta Rhymes, Ciara and Timbaland.

Elliott, known for her innovative artistry and undeniable talent, expressed her excitement about the tour, “Fans have been asking me to tour forever, but I wanted to wait until I felt the time was right because I knew if I was ever going to do it, I had to do it big, and I had to do it with family!”

The announcement was accompanied by a sci-fi-themed video, which premiered just hours before the total solar eclipse. In the visually stunning clip, Elliott, Busta Rhymes, and Ciara find themselves outside a spaceship, where they have taken a wrong turn and landed on an alien planet.

Blake Lively has publicly apologized for poking fun at Kate Middleton‘s Photoshop fail after learning that the Princess of Wales has been diagnosed with cancer. “I’m sure no one cares today but I feel like I have to acknowledge this,” Lively wrote on her Instagram Story. “I made a silly post around the ‘Photoshop fails’ frenzy, and oh man, that post has me mortified today. I’m sorry.” She added, “Sending love and well wishes to all, always.” (Credit: Blake Lively/Instagram) This apology comes a week after the Gossip Girl vet posted a clearly edited photo of her head on another woman’s body to promote her sparkling soda company, Betty Buzz. The blatantly Photoshopped image, which also featured an unusually large thumb and a floating lemon, was seemingly trolling Middleton’s admittedly edited UK Mother’s Day portrait of her and her three children, George, Charlotte,...

“Act of God,” the opening track of the Gossip’s first studio album in 12 years, has all the hallmarks of the trio’s music: an upbeat disco groove, gothic post-punk undertones, and, of course, Beth Ditto’s soulful voice. So does the next track. And the next. By the end of Real Power, it’s clear that, for better or worse, the album arrives as more of the same.

The 11 tracks here range from shimmery summer pop anthems to chugging disco songs, each as lively and bubbly as the last. “Turn the Card Slowly” features some novel, Hawaiian-inspired slide guitar (the album was recorded in part in producer Rick Rubin’s studio in Kauai), but it feels clunky and out of place amid what otherwise sounds like a typical Gossip song.

Hannah Blilie’s drumming provides most of the textural variation between Real Power’s tracks. In sparer moments, she...

Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani left no stone unturned to make their son Anant Ambani’s pre-wedding festivities a dhamakedaar event. During a special speech, the groom also revealed that his mother had worked hard for 3-4 months for as long as 18-19 hours daily.

Amitabh Bachchan Once Spoke About Bipasha Basu & John Abraham With A Straight Face Leaving Everyone In Disbelief. (Photo Credit – IMDb/Instagram)

Amitabh Bachchan is a living legend synonymous with Bollywood. Over the decades, he has done innumerable movies with his angry young man persona on screen and that baritone voice. The senior actor also has a whimsical side, which comes out in his interviews or other shows besides the comedy movies. One of his BTS clips from veteran actress Simi Garewal’s chat show has caught our attention, and today, we have brought that gem to make your day.

There is hardly any celeb who has not worked with Bachchan Sr in their career. People respect him and want to work with him at least once in their life. John Abraham and Bipasha Basu got to work with him in 2004’s Aetbaar. They were reportedly in a relationship back then.

Selena Gomez Never Spoke To Timothee Chalamet & Kylie Jenner, Claims A Source Clearing The Air Around The Golden Globes 2024 Controversial Moment(Photo Credit –Instagram)

Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, and Keileigh Teller gossiping at the 81st Golden Globes is one of the viral moments from the award ceremony. As per several reports, Sel was telling them about how she asked Timothee Chalamet for a photo, and Kylie Jenner said no.

Gossip are back: The Portland pop-rock trio have announced Real Power, their first album in 11 years. Ahead of its release on March 22nd, they’ve shared the lead single “Crazy Again.”

For the long-awaited follow-up to 2012’s A Joyful Noise, the members of Gossip turned to megahit producer Rick Rubin at his home studio in Kauai. Recording began in 2019, though the pandemic put halts on the project; it seems like the result was worth the wait, however, with the album described as an “11-track celebration of the galvanizing might of music, the joy of creative expression, and the power of chosen family in the aftermath of collective and personal trauma.”

“When we began, so much about Gossip was about running away — that was always in the music,” vocalist Beth Ditto explains in a press release. “We survived. We came from nothing, and we got the fuck out of there. And...

A Walmart ad touting its Black Friday deals gathered three of the four stars of Mean Girls, with the movies’ Amanda Seyfried, Lindsay Lohan and Lacey Chabert diving into their iconic characters.

The spot, which dropped today, featured the trio as adult versions of the high schoolers they played in the 2004 movie directed by Mark Waters and written by Tina Fey.

In the spot, Chabert’s Gretchen is still trying to make “Fetch” happen except this time as a mom of a high schooler (spoiler: they’re still not buying it), while Seyfried’s Karen Smith is a news reporter still trying to nail down the facts. Lohan’s Cady, who narrates the ad like she did in the movie, is now a high school guidance counselor.

No sign of Rachel McAdams, who played the mean girls’ leader Regina in the movie, in the ad, which runs about 2 minutes.

People have been curious about Chace Crawford's love life since his early "Gossip Girl" days. The 38-year-old actor, who currently stars as The Deep on "The Boys," has had only had three confirmed relationships - although there have been plenty of rumored romances, including relationships with "Dancing With the Stars"'s Erin Andrews and "Twilight"'s Ashley Greene. Gossip has also swirled about possible hookups with everyone from "Gossip Girl's" Taylor Momsen to Lauren Conrad, although those are most likely just rumors.

While his relationships with Blake Lively's Serena and Leighton Meester's Blair on "Gossip Girl" were deeply chaotic and dramatic, Crawford's personal love life seems much more laid-back. The actor, who grew up in Texas and made his film debut in the 2006 supernatural drama "The Covenant," was cast as Nate Archibald in "Gossip Girl" in March 2007 and quickly become one of TV's most desirable bachelors.

Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce addressed rumors of a new relationship between him and Taylor Swift.

In an interview for The Pat McAfee Show on Thursday, Pat McAfee asked Kelce if he cared to “expand upon” the rumors of his potential romance with Swift, as it is “being talked about the whole entire world right now.”

On Wednesday, Kelce’s brother, Jason Kelce, seemingly confirmed these rumors to 94 Wip in Philadelphia with “I think it’s all 100% true.” He acknowledged that he doesn’t know much about his brother’s love life, but “I think he’s doing great.”

Travis reported that he “threw the ball in her court.”

The NFL star said he told Swift: “I’ve seen you rock the stage at Arrowhead [Stadium]. You might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.”

Travis said that...

Murray Hill, the queer icon and comedian also known for his roles in Somebody Somewhere and Drag Me to Dinner, is set to release a memoir.

Showbiz! My Unexpected Life as a Middle-Aged Man will be published in 2025 by Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. Hill’s memoir was acquired by Pamela Cannon, vp, executive editor at Gallery Books, in an exclusive submission by Robert Guinsler at Sterling Lord Literistic for its North American rights.

Showbiz! will offer Hill’s fans and memoir readers a vivid accounting of his personal and professional trajectory. That includes his emergence from New York’s underground nightlife scene, through Dita Von Teese’s international tour Strip Strip Hooray and the music videos of feminist queer artists like Peaches and Gossip into the Hollywood spotlight, where he inspired his critically beloved character on HBO’s hit Somebody, Somewhere.

The memoir will trace the iconic drag king’s origins,...

Tom Morello was honored in his family’s ancestral hometown of Pratiglione, Italy, where he was presented with honorary Italian citizenship and a key to the city.

The ceremony took place on Sunday (July 23), with Pratiglione mayor Giovanni Trucano presenting the honorary citizenship to the Rage Against the Machine guitarist by way of his Pratiglione heritage. It was Morello’s great-great-grandfather, Carlo, who left Pratiglione for the United States about 150 years ago.

“I just became an honorary Italian citizen & received the key to the city of the Morello ancestral hometown of Pratiglione, Italy!” Morello wrote on Instagram. “Bands played! Children frolicked! Dozens of Morello cousins partied! The mayor wore blue! Awesome guitar statue erected in town square next to the memorial for local partisans who died fighting the Nazis! Grazie, Pratiglione!”

Earlier this year, Morello collaborated with the extremely popular Italian band Måneskin, adding his signature axework to the single “Gossip.

I jokingly apologize for being the latest meddler; he takes it in stride. “I appreciate it because it’s like,...

May 23 is, according to Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, “our rendezvous with destiny.” That’s because the company has finally dropped the HBO from streaming service HBO Max and become just Max.

For those of us just figuring that out, below is a rundown of pricing, programs, how the service differs from sister streamer Discovery+ and also what to do if you’re an HBO cable subscriber to wants to access Max.

What Is Max, Exactly?

Max combines programming from HBO Max and Discovery. It is the streaming destination for Max and HBO originals, Warner Bros. films, the DC universe, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and kids content, along with programming across food, home, reality, lifestyle and documentaries from leading brands including HGTV, Food Network, Discovery Channel, TLC, ID and more.

You have to admire Apple’s literary ambitions, tackling giant contemporary tomes like Pachinko (set in Korea and Japan), Shantaram (India) and, closer to home, the new eight-part adaptation of City on Fire, Garth Risk Hallberg’s sprawling 2015 saga encompassing a panorama of New York City from the downtown club scene to Fifth Avenue penthouses. What links these disparate worlds is Sam (the luminous Chase Sui Wonders), a punk-rock-loving NYU undergrad whose self-published zine may provide clues about who shot her in uptown Central Park on July 4. As she lies in a coma, Fire unevenly interweaves bomb-throwing hipsters, pretentious bohemian artists and filthy-rich developers facing scandalous ruin. You can see why this source material appealed to Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage of Gossip Girl fame, but the scope proves too daunting a narrative challenge, and they’ve diluted the story’s impact by shifting the time period from gritty 1977 to...

Andy Cohen isn’t happy with Howie Mandel’s surprising new sit-down interview with Tom Sandoval.

On Tuesday’s “Watch What Happens Live!”, Cohen took the America’s Got Talent judge to task for his controversial chat with Sandoval on his “Howie Mandel Does Stuff Podcast”, during which Mandel appeared — to some fans — to have a notable lack of knowledge about the intricacies of Scandoval, and appeared to side with the embattled reality star when it came to the drama.

“Tonight’s Jackhole [of the Night] goes to the fact that Howie Mandel apparently didn’t know what he was getting himself into with his interview of Tom Sandoval today,” Cohen shared, during his chat with “SNL” alum Cecily Strong and “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Melissa Gorga. “Because it seems like maybe he didn’t do his homework?”

Cohen then played one clip from the podcast interview during which Mandel appeared not...

Exclusive: The New York Post is looking to get into the TV game with a first-look unscripted deal with producer Asylum Entertainment Group.

The Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid is looking to adapt its stories into documentary features, limited series and docuseries.

The move will see Asylum’s production labels Texas Crew Productions, Audity, and The Content Group (Tcg), along with Big City TV and Breaklight Pictures, look for stories to adapt for the small screen.

It marks the latest newspaper group to eye up television projects; the New York Times has a deal for New York Times Presents with FX and Hulu, while The Washington Post recently struck a similar deal with Imagine Entertainment.

It comes after Breaklight Pictures partnered with the paper to turn Post journalist Hannah Frishberg’s in-depth reporting on international megachurch Hillsong into Discovery+’s limited series Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed.

Many of The Office’s most memorable moments happen before the opening theme begins. The cold openings of The Office are hilarious intros that either introduce audiences to the story of the episode or just offer a one-off moment that kicks off the laughter. Some of these intros feature the most iconic scenes and quotes from the show’s nine seasons.

Steve Carell as Michael Scott | Justin Lubin/NBCU Photo Bank Here are 5 of the best cold openings from ‘The Office’ 1. Fire Drill — ‘Stress Relief, Part 1’. Season 5, Episode 14

Dwight is an employee who follows procedures strictly, but his coworkers don’t share the same concern. In the opening of this episode of The Office, Dwight simulates a fire to see if his cohorts know what to do. However, Dwight’s drill is a bit extreme, causing the Dunder Mifflin office to become chaotic.

Not only does no one follow Dwight’s instructions,...

For the first time since 2020, Spotify’s Best New Artist party returned to celebrate the nominees for the big four Grammy Awards category.

Hosted at West Hollywood’s Pacific Design Center, the star-studded event kicked off a busy weekend of celebrations, all leading up to the year’s biggest night in music. The party featured performances from all 10 of the Grammys’ 2023 best new artist nominees, including Anitta, Omar Apollo, Samara Joy, Latto, Domi and Jd Beck, Måneskin, Muni Long, Tobe Nwigwe, Molly Tuttle and Wet Leg. Half-way through the night, rapper-singer Anderson .Paak also took the stage for a surprise performance as DJ Pee .Wee.

Fans of "The Office" have been gifted yet another season of "Superfan" episodes, with Peacock updating the entire sixth season of the hit show with extended cuts. Back in 2021, NBC's comedy behemoth made its way onto the Peacock service after the company paid a hefty sum to pull the series from Netflix. As an incentive for viewers to sign up to the fledgling streamer, Peacock made the entire third season available as extended episodes with previously unaired material.

And while those initial third season "Superfan" episodes were previously available on DVD, iTunes, and Netflix, Peacock has continued to release further "Superfan" seasons that feature all-new, previously unseen footage. Season 1 was given the "Superfan" treatment back in April 2021, before season 2 hit the service a few months later. Once 2022 rolled around, amid Peacock's continued struggles to turn a profit, seasons 4 and 5 were updated, with Craig Robinson and Ed Helms, who played...

Even if you’ve never seen an episode of The Office, there’s a good chance that you’ve seen the “Parkour” scene in video, gif, or meme form. This opening from the season six premiere “Gossip” sees Michael Scott (Steve Carell), Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson), and Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) trying to parkour across the office in increasingly hilarious and barely dangerous ways.

To celebrate the release of more extended “Superfan” episodes on Peacock, the official YouTube channel for The Office released an extended cut of this fan-favorite opening scene that has an entire extra minute of parkour shenanigans. We get to see Michael slam Jim’s (John Krasinski) laptop shut so that he can belly flop onto the conference table and whisper “parkour” directly into the camera. We get to see Michael try to parkour into an open elevator, miss his shot before the door closes, and then...

February ushers in a new slate of movies and TV shows making their way to HBO and HBO Max, from a slew of James Bond movies to the recently released Olivia Colman-led “Empire of Light” to, yes, the Puppy Bowl.

“The Terminator,” “Catch Me If You Can,” “Footloose,” “Taxi Driver” and “The Silence of the Lambs” all mark notable library offerings this month, in addition to “Superbad,” “Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)” and “Eighth Grade.”

Despite HBO Max pulling a number of originals from its roster over the past several months, HBO Max originals premiering on the platform this month include a Dionne Warwick documentary, an adult European animated series titled “Poor Devil” and “Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine’s Day Special” based on the popular animated series.

HBO Max is also beefing up its sports offerings by streaming soccer matches featuring the U.S. national teams,...

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and HBO Max got the memo. With its list of new releases for February 2023, the HBO streamer is bringing a very special Valentine’s Day episode into the fold.

Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine’s Day Special premieres on Feb. 9 and finds Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy celebrating their first Valentine’s Day together. Consider this a fun little aperitif for the fast approaching Harley Quinn season 3 – which will feature none other than freshly-installed DC czar James Gunn. Other HBO Max original series this month include another C.B. Strike special on Feb. 6 and Spanish-language animated comedy Poor Devil a.k.a. Pobre Diablo on Feb. 17.

February also looks to be a jam-packed month for movies on HBO Max. February 1 sees the arrival of many appealing library titles like Birdman, Casino Royale, The Silence of the Lambs, and The Terminator. Later on HBO Max...

Many episodes of The Office started with a cold open. This tactic jumped right into the middle of a story that had nothing to do with the episode’s narrative but stood alone as a mini arc. Many of the cold opens from The Office are fan favorites, including the one from the season 6 premiere “Gossip” where Michael (Steve Carell), Andy (Ed Helms), and Dwight (Rainn Wilson) do parkour. Behind the scenes, Toby Flenderson actor Paul Lieberstein is the reason that scene became as funny as it did — find out why.

Steve Carell as Michael Scott | Peacock/NBC Paul Lieberstein’s directing changed ‘The Office’ parkour scene

According to Lieberstein, who wrote and directed the episode, the parkour scene wasn’t choreographed. He did tell the actors that the goal was to “just mess up the room as much as possible.”

However, after an underwhelming first take, Lieberstein made a change.

Måneskin have many credits to their name. After winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 2021, four years after they conquered The X Factor in Italy, the group went on to become the first Italian band to crack the UK Singles Chart. Their pop-rock cover of the Four Seasons oldie “Beggin” has reached more than 1.2 billion streams on Spotify, while “I Wanna Be Your Slave” tops half a billion. Last November, the foursome nabbed their first Grammy nod. But perhaps most impressive in Måneskin’s list of accomplishments is the fact they’re teaching millions how to pronounce the Scandinavian letter, å.

Across one EP, two albums and a string of riotously fun performances – replete in latex, black glitter nail polish and assless chaps – Måneskin have helped restore glam rock to its former glory. Lead singer Damiano David, bassist Victoria De Angelis, guitarist Thomas Raggi and drummer Ethan Torchio take their cues,...

“Yes, I’m dying”.

That’s the stark tabloid headline People magazine runs in gigantic letters alongside a photo of Dottie Roman in the first episode of Monarch, Fox’s lavish new musical soap about a ruthless country music dynasty.

Dottie, played by Susan Sarandon with ballsy swagger and a closer-to-God blowout, seethes over the cover story about her own terminal cancer as she primps for her last ever awards show. She’s the “queen of country music” – think Dolly Parton big – and she’s determined to go out with a smile on her face, even if it’s as fake as her outrage. Dottie leaked the story to the press herself, we eventually learn. She probably even signed off on the picture – red lips pursed in defiance, peeking out from under the wide brim of her signature cowboy hat with its diamante band. Everything in the cloistered world of country music runs through Dottie.

Joshua Jackson has a thrilling new TV role.

Paramount+ today announced Joshua Jackson has been cast opposite Lizzy Caplan in the Original Series Fatal Attraction.

Jackson will star as Dan Gallagher, the object of his lover’s (Caplan) obsession after a brief affair.

"A deep-dive reimagining of the classic psychosexual thriller and ‘80s cultural touchstone, the new series will explore fatal attraction and the timeless themes of marriage and infidelity through the lens of modern attitudes towards strong women, personality disorders and coercive control," according to the streamer's official description.

“Joshua is an incredible talent who creates beautifully complicated characters on both the screen and stage,” said Nicole Clemens, President, Paramount+ Original Scripted Series.

“He and Lizzy are perfectly matched to tell a nuanced and modern narrative about the complexities of the human psyche. We’re thrilled to partner with them to bring this provocative and captivating story to a new generation.

In Showtime’s new docuseries “Gossip” a recording of Donald Trump pretending to be his own publicist is played; a story about Tom Cruise’s front teeth falling out during a dinner with former New York Post editor-in-chief Col Allen is told; and 91-year-old Cindy Adams defends her past and present friendships with Roy Cohn, Imelda Marcos, John Gotti, Gen. Manuel Noriega and, of course, Trump.

But beyond salacious Page Six stories and Adams’ questionable friendships, “Gossip,” is at its core an examination of power and how Rupert Murdoch fundamentally shifted the foundation of the news industry via the New York Post and its tabloid journalism.

The four-part docuseries explores how New York City’s most prominent gossip columnists – Liz Smith, George Rush, Richard Johnson and Adams – built their careers and used their power.

“Gossip” director-producer Jenny Carchman is no stranger to covering media outlets, having received an Emmy nomination...

Anyone who reads her work knows that Cindy Adams can’t be still.

In normal times, the columnist — now 91 and still publishing multiple times a week — goes out to do reporting for her column in the New York Post. The column is a strange mélange of quotes from celebrities, conservative political analysis, invective against foes real and perceived, anecdotes about the peculiarity of life in Manhattan, and aphorisms and puns. About the only consistent thing about her column day to day is the tone — choppy, clipped, and utterly direct, treating the reader as someone intimate enough with Adams that she can speak frankly, and in shorthand.

It’s fitting that “Gossip,” Showtime’s new documentary series on which Adams is the central figure, takes a similar attitude to its subjects. “Gossip” is, at once, a personal and professional biography of Adams, a look at the rise of Rupert Murdoch as a media mogul stateside,...

Penn Badgley isn't the biggest fan of fame. The 34-year-old actor said he has "processed" his time on Gossip Girl and has some crucial takeaways about why it can be overwhelming to be a celebrity in today's society. Speaking on the podcast Baha'i Blogcast with Rainn Wilson, Penn reflected on how he felt a responsibility to use his fame (and resulting social media influence) to do good in the world. As Penn shared, "The most meaningful form of action I saw, as a person who'd been on Gossip Girl, as a person who had at this point hundreds of thousands of followers—yeah, because I got on social media late. If I had gotten on in the middle of Gossip...

Imagine Entertainment, the production banner run by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, has been the subject of renewed acquisition talks in recent weeks, multiple sources told Variety.

Investors and potential buyers include an undisclosed sovereign wealth fund from the Middle East, which has been quietly exploring American media investments of late. Also kicking the tires on Imagine are international banks and a domestic private equity firm, according to two individuals familiar with the discussions. The current valuation being floated is between $800 million and $825 million, sources added.

An Imagine Entertainment spokesperson declined to comment on the matter.

The interest in Imagine comes at a time when the media sector is rife with M&a and consolidation activity. In addition to top-level transactions like the pending combination of WarnerMedia and Discovery and Amazon’s nearly $9 billion purchase of MGM, companies like Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine and LeBron James’ Spring Hill Entertainment...
