"Collective bargaining has been the fastest and most effective way for the regulation of AI technology," SAG-AFTRA Executive Director Duncan Crabtree-Ireland stated, emphasizing the union's role in shaping AI usage in Hollywood.
That was at my insistence. Jeff rightly said Cary Grant never said he was gay. Dyan says he wasn't, and there's no proof, there's just people saying he was. I said, 'But Jeff he was.'
Marlon Brando's acclaimed screen career is the benchmark for Hollywood's Golden Age. Off-screen, Brando's diet was similarly the stuff of legend, leading to his yo-yoed appearances.
"Every night I stop at the market near my hotel and pick up a steak, lamb chops, or some liver, which I broil in the electric oven in my room. I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat, and that is all."
My life completely changed with the birth of our daughter, Annie. I was a young mom at the end of 1986, and I was starting that impossible-to-describe work balance between personal life, motherhood, and work.
Brief videos generated by the model, including a clip featuring Tom Cruise fighting Brad Pitt, soon went viral and drew intense criticism from Hollywood. While one successful screenwriter declared that the footage meant, "It's likely over for us," studios quickly sent ByteDance a flurry of cease-and-desist letters, with Disney's lawyers accusing the company of a "virtual smash-and-grab of Disney's IP."
It's a great story where Conan was 40 years king...and he gets complacent, and he gets forced out of the kingdom, slowly. Then there's conflict, of course, and then he somehow comes back, and then there's all kinds of madness and violence and magic and creatures.
Hollywood is in trouble. The streaming boom that fueled a ton of production in the last decade-plus is gone, and lots of the remaining work is going overseas. No one really knows how AI will affect the movie and TV business, but there's lots of fear it won't be good. And barring something truly surprising, Warner Bros., one of Hollywood's most important movie and TV studios, is going to get swallowed up in the next year or so, which will mean even more consolidation.
Political tension and industrywide uncertainty are the prevailing moods heading into Sunday night's 83rd Golden Globes. Hollywood is coming off a disappointing box-office year and now anxiously awaits the fate of one of its most storied studios, Warner Bros. A celebratory mood might be even more elusive given that the wide majority of the performers and filmmakers congregating at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, oppose the policies of President Donald Trump.
the esteemed Hollywood actress' difficult start in the movie business (she was let go from Universal Studios after her first contract) and her impressive rise to the top (she would star in 100 movies during her career, and by the 1940s, she had already scooped two Oscar wins), but also, her opinions on cooking. "Like many women who work, she detests cooking," Flanner wrote. "She says that a husband who won't fry an egg for his wife when she comes home tired doesn't love her."
A Tesla Diner location could be coming to Palo Alto, as suggested in a recent post on X from Elon Musk. The world's richest person who is poised to become the world's first trillionaire posted on Oct. 31 that, The futuristic Tesla Diner is going well. Probably makes sense to open one near our Giga Texas HQ in Austin and engineering HQ in Palo Alto.
Us normies aren't the only ones who like to channel our favorite films around Halloween. The fourth annual Vogue World was Hollywood themed, with celebrities and models highlighting the intersection of fashion and cinema as they strutted down a runway set up on the Paramount lot. The entire October 26 event - which featured nods to Black Panther, the late Diane Keaton, and more - was meant to channel a film shoot; Baz Luhrmann was even there to oversee a director's cut.
There are people-pleasers and then there is this affable brawler-turned-actor, who appears to regard the contentment of the world's multiplex-goers as his personal responsibility. Whether in vehicles comic (Central Intelligence, Baywatch), family-oriented (Jumanji, Jungle Cruise), four-wheeled (the Fast & Furious series) or disaster-based (San Andreas, Skyscraper), he is a rip-roaring razzle-dazzler, shiny of scalp and tooth, and so colossal that he isn't merely the circus showman but the whole damn big top too.
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
How on earth has Charlie Sheen made it to 60? How has he survived decades of cocaine first snorted, then smoked as crack endless parties with alcohol and friends? And his sexual excesses? Did he make enough to cover all the extortion money he gave to sex workers, including one to whom he reportedly paid as much as $1.4 million?
I wasn't involved at all. Aside from like giving feedback on the first draft, and getting the feedback that like, yeah, we're not actually going to address your notes at all... I've left it alone, because it's not my project. They're going to make whatever they're going to make.
I couldn't do it without Naomi. We have a great partnership at home and professionally, so it makes the family juggling act that much easier when we can all be together. We try to keep the kids grounded and away from all of the Hollywood stuff so they can be kids as long as possible,
