This is about creating the ultimate entertainment destination. Planet Hollywood has always been connected to pop culture, and PH Live takes that energy to the next level, a place where music, film, sports, and nightlife collide.
Here's the truth: If you keep cutting corners...all you end up doing is going in circles. Every corner you cut creates a problem you'll eventually have to come back and fix. The time you think you saved today becomes the wall you face tomorrow. Real progress comes from doing the full lap.
The greatest entrepreneurs, like John, don't invent businesses in isolation. They look at where demand already exists, and then build something better to serve it. In this conversation, he explains how founders can do the same: stand out in crowded markets, recognize the right opportunities, and earn the attention of investors like him.
his community-oriented multimedia brand Do Good Crew launched last month with his new podcast, The Person Who Believed In Me, which features thought-leaders reflecting on the people who took a chance on them when no one else would. And his first guest? None other than Oprah Winfrey.
We knew that if a brother got a deal for 150k, he could keep the majority of it, but it also would facilitate and help the other brothers. It was part of our core and movement for us to spread the money around and help brothers eat, without a project out. It was like we were trust fund babies.
The only good reason to be mad at him is that he has leveraged the unlimited resources and power of Klutch Sports, CAA, Spotify, and The Ringer to make daytime SportsCenter simulacrum without the catchphrases. Paul and Kellerman's FanDuel-sponsored podcast is bad. It's bad in the sort of banal way that most podcasts are bad-the hosts don't say much of substance, they are stricken with red light syndrome, and their riffs are obtuse and unimaginative.
"I really struggled over some of the things that happened, and that was something that was slowly depleting me, chipping away at my soul,"
Michael Ovitz, the cofounder of powerhouse Los Angeles talent agency Creative Artists Agency and a prolific tech investor, effusively praised Jeffrey Epstein and made arrangements to meet him at his New York home and off the coast of St. Barts, newly released files reveal. The disgraced financier invited Ovitz to his private Caribbean island in 2012 and said he knew Ovitz "well" in emails to a Microsoft executive and his publicist, Peggy Siegal.
The 44-year-old original influencer, reality star, and founder of a laundry list of business ventures, said on the January 21 episode of "On Purpose with Jay Shetty" that her neurodivergent brain helps her "think outside the box." "I never wanted to be in one lane. I wanted to create my own lane. And I just have always been someone who just loves to do things and take risks and do things before anyone else," she said.
After attempting to make his mark as a footballer, photographer and chef, at last Brooklyn Peltz Beckham appears to have secured his legacy. He will no longer be remembered as simply the nepo-baby son of David and Victoria; he'll also go down in history as a somewhat unlikely/possibly accidental feminist activist. It was when Brooklyn married Nicola Peltz in 2022 that he became Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, an ally who turbo-boosted a quietly growing trend.
Victoria is by the stage, she goes onto the stage, and of course at that point Brooklyn is suddenly, literally, devastated because he thought he was going to do his first dance with his wife. Then Nicola leaves the room crying her eyes out. Brooklyn is stuck there on stage. And then they do this dance and Marc Anthony's going, 'Put your hands on your mother's hips'. It was a Latin thing. The whole situation was very awkward for everyone in the room.
But Rocky can't get his phone to sync with his sports car. He's determined, though, and while the engine growls at low idle, he tinkers for minutes that feel much longer. But still-no dice. He calls over one of his two bodyguards, both of whom are affable as far as dudes who protect celebrities for a living go. One of the bodyguards pushes a button here and twists a knob there and, bada bing, Rocky's album at last begins playing on the Ferrari's speakers.
"A lot of training. I already do a lot of functional football training and work out with guys that are either on their way to becoming football players or they play in college or [are] off season,"
Last month, LaRussell announced his signing of a "project deal" with San Francisco label EMPIRE, one of the music industry's largest and most powerful independent labels and distributors. In 2023, he announced a deal with Live Nation for select concert dates. Both deals, LaRussell indicated, allowed him to make decisions on his own terms. The Roc Nation announcement comes after images of a late January meeting between LaRussell and Jay-Z were shared online.
"By reinvesting in downtown Shreveport and upgrading existing assets to create state-of-the-art entertainment and production facilities, we are creating jobs, inspiring hope, attracting new productions, and giving the entire entertainment industry a reason to build their futures right here," said Jackson in a press release. "My goal is to turn Northwest Louisiana into the premier destination for film, music, and live entertainment on a national scale. All Roads Lead to Shreveport."
On Thursday, the House passed the Health Care Affordability Act in a 230-196 vote, which would provide a three-year extension to the Affordable Care Act, thus extending the pandemic-era subsidies that expired on December 31. And while the bill is pretty much guaranteed to be dead-on-arrival in the Senate (especially since it's already been rejected by the upper chamber and Sen. Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) vowed to ignore it), that didn't stop Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-Ill.)-who introduced it-from performing a little celebratory dance.
Minaj also said she plans to pledge between $150,000 and $300,000 to support the new Trump Accounts. Created under Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the program provides savings accounts of $1,000 for every child born between 2025 and 2028. That money is then invested in the stock market by private firms, and made accessible to the child when they turn 18.
Even a casual mention of online lottery tucked into lifestyle chatter feels normal because influencers blend interests so effortlessly across posts, creating a steady flow of conversation that pulls you in. Fashion content has a now-or-never feel. Fashion choices are seen as they happen, rather than in a presentation. Fashion influencers are turning mundane environments into instant fashion displays. This authenticity inspires a whole new generation of fashion with a fresh look.
