Under a new longterm strategic plan laid out by the media conglomerates new Office of the CEO earlier this month, top executives Brian Robbins, George Cheeks and Chris McCarthy said they would integrate the companys teams more closely and eliminate redundancies, take an alternative approach to its international strategy to boost profits and increase content licensing to help this effort. The trio also said they identified $500 million in near term cost reduction opportunities in areas including real estate, technology, marketing and other corporate overhead. Additionally, the CEOs have already had talks about divesting some assets, which could potentially include Pluto TV, BET, VH1 and the Paramount lot, which would be leased back for the studios use, four individuals familiar with the matter previously told TheWrap, and are exploring options with other streaming players and technology platforms about forming a joint venture or long term strategic partnership. Robbins, Cheeks and McCarthy will hold a town hall with employees on Tuesday and are expected to update Wall Street during the companys second quarter earnings call in August.

Isha Koppikar On Romancing Older Actors Onscreen: "It Felt Like You Are Hugging Your Father"

Isha Koppikar, who actively worked in the Hindi film industry during the 2000s, recently opened up about romancing older actors. She said that she was "uncomfortable." In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, the actress spoke about her experiences while working with senior actors like Suniel Shetty and Govinda in movies such as Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat and Aamdani Atthanni Kharcha Rupaiya. Isha said, "You do feel uncomfortable when you work with someone 30 or 20 years older than you. I felt uncomfortable when I was working with elderly heroes. You don't get the feeling like you are hugging your partner or lover, you feel like you are hugging your father. I used to feel that. I was new, I thought this was the norm." She added, "You are an actor; you focus on your part and forget they are elderly. You wouldn't feel cringe with everyone, some of them had maintained themselves very well and wouldn't look their age, but some obviously had that air and demeanor of a senior, due to age and experience in the industry." Isha Koppikar also highlighted the prevalent issue of age gaps between lead actors in Bollywood, lamenting how actresses over 35 often find themselves playing mothers to heroes who are 50, still paired romantically with actresses half their age. "They should understand what they look and accordingly play the part. I hope this changes, because the audience is not foolish. I have seen them in theatres saying, Ye kitna buddha lag raha hai, ghar pe baith; apni beti ki umar ki ladki saath romance kar raha hai.'

Kevin Costner makes his Yellowstone exit official

While, at this point, we all kind of knew that Costners John Dutton IIIthe patriarch that spawned a million spinoffswouldnt be returning for one last ride, it wasnt made official until this week. Kevin Costner's attorney would like to inform you the star is not a jerk CC Share Subtitles Off English view video Kevin Costner's attorney would like to inform you the star is not a jerk I just wanted to reach out and let you know that after this long yearandahalf of working on Horizon, and doing all the things that thats required, and thinking about Yellowstone, that beloved series that I love, that I know you loveI just realized that Im not going to be able to continue season 5B or into the future, Costner shared in a video posted on social media last night. It was something that really changed me, he continued. I loved it and I know you loved it. I just wanted to let you know that I wont be returning. I love the relationships that Ive been able to develop. And Ill see you at the movies. While to the uninitiated, it may seem odd for a major actor to drop out of a show midseason, this is hardly how Yellowstone season five can be quantified, even if its technically true. The first eight episodes of the season aired in 2022 (with the last premiering on January 1, 2023) and then... nothing. Due to the strikes and a series of other writing delays, it seemed unlikely that season 5B would happen at all, until Paramount went ahead and announced a November 10 premiere date yesterday, hours before Costner posted his own statement. Theres also the little fact that Costner now has a massive, multipart Western epic of his own to promote. Horizon An American SagaChapter 1which Costner wrote, directed, and stars inhad its premiere at this years Cannes Film Festival, and opens for the rest of the world on June 28. Thats not all Costner has on his plate right now. Horizon An American SagaChapter 2, which the actordirector has already completed, follows in close succession this August. Then theres the matters of Chapters 3 and 4, which are still in the pipeline. Costner and Yellowstone creator, Taylor Sheridan, have also been squabbling in the press for over a year now, so it seems like this move is probably best for everyone.

He then took on small roles in British film and television. His earliest highprofile roles were in war films including 1967's The Dirty Dozen, and Kelly's Heroes and MASH from 1970. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recalled feeling "deeply, deeply starstruck" when he first met Sutherland.

He had a wonderful enquiring brain, and a great knowledge on a wide variety of subjects, she said. He combined this great intelligence with a deep sensitivity, and with a seriousness about his profession as an actor. This all made him into the legend of film that he became. He was my colleague and became my friend. I will miss his presence in this world.

Pat Sajak Switches Things Up in Final Wheel of Fortune Episode: Less Rounds, More Money and

The longtime Wheel of Fortune host just signed off after 41 years on Friday, and he did not go quietly. I think most people know this is my last evening on the show, Sajak said after the first round. At the end of the show, I have a few things Id like to say, so we need to save a little time. How do we do that? His solution was to cut one of the episodes usual rounds, but since doing so would rob the contestants of winning some money, he decided to throw them a bone. Im going to spin the wheel, add $1,000 to whatever I land on, and give everyone that amount, he announced. Shockingly, he landed on the coveted $1,000 spot, which meant that all three contestants should have had $2,000 added to their score. But on Sajaks last night, that just wasnt enough. You know what? Its not my money, he said. Lets give them all $5,000! Little Jimmys surgery can wait. (R.I.P., Little Jimmy.) Sajaks final game ended with Memphis, Tenn., resident Adrienne Bean winning her bonus round and taking home nearly $90,000 in total winnings. As promised, some time was saved at the end of the episode for Sajak to share his final remarks, thanking the audience, the crew and, of course, cohost Vanna White for more than four decades in the Wheel business. He also reminded viewers that hell still be around all summer in reruns, encouraging them to keep laughing at his jokes as if they were new. Sajak, however, made no mention of Ryan Seacrest, the man taking over his gig this September. What did you think of Sajaks last time hosting Wheel of Fortune? Will you miss him?

New ‘Hunger Games’ Prequel Movie, Based on Suzanne Collins’ Next Novel, Set for 2026

After last Novembers Hunger Games prequel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes charmed its way to $337 million at the box office, Lionsgate teased that moviegoers may not have seen the last of Panem, the dystopia where the story is set even though the spinoff story covered the entirety of author Suzanne Collins 2020 novel of the same name. The film opened an endless series of possibilities that Suzanne can go, and that [Lionsgate] can go with her, Adam Fogelson, chairman of the studios motion picture group, said at the time. To that end, Collins is writing a new book, Sunrise on the Reaping, to be released in 2025. The film adaptation will hit theaters on Nov. 20, 2026. Francis Lawrence, who has helmed every Hunger Games installment since 2012s Catching Fire, is in talks to direct. Popular on Variety Like the forthcoming novel, The Hunger Games Sunrise on the Reaping will revisit the world of Panem 24 years before the events of the Hunger Games saga (anchored by thee Katniss Everdeen) and four decades after The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. It will start on the morning of the reaping of the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell in which Haymitch Abernathy, portrayed by Woody Harrelson in the original series, competed. Haymitch Abernathy later mentors Katniss and Peeta in the 74th Hunger Games. Suzanne Collins is a master storyteller and our creative north star, Fogelson said in a statement. We couldnt be more fortunate than to be guided and trusted by a collaborator whose talent and imagination are so consistently brilliant. The Second Quarter Quell is legendary and looms large over the history of the Games, even into the time of Katniss Everdeen a quartercentury later. Meredith Wieck and Scott OBrien will oversee the production on behalf of the studio. Patricia Laucella and Phil Strina oversaw the rights for the book for Lionsgate. The Hunger Games film franchise has generated more than $3.3 billion at the worldwide box office, with 2013s Catching Fire as the highestgrossing with $865 million. The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes didnt live up to the original saga in terms of ticket sales, but the prequel only cost $100 million, so it managed to turn a profit and encourage the studio to move ahead with another installment. The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes took place 64 years before Jennifer Lawrences Katniss Everdeen volunteers as tribute.

Kangana Ranaut Allegedly Slapped By Security Staff At Chandigarh Airport

Ms Ranaut, who won the Lok Sabha election from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi, was about to board a flight for Delhi when the incident happened. The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) constable who allegedly slapped the new MP has been identified as Kulwinder Kaur. She has been suspended, and a first information report (FIR) has been filed against her. After slapping Ms Ranaut, the paramilitary constable allegedly told the actorturnedMP it was for "disrespecting farmers", alluding to the 15monthlong protest by farmers against the (now scrapped) farm laws and other issues including a legal guarantee of minimum support price in 202021. Mobile footage shows Ms Ranaut being escorted by a ring of security officers towards the security checkin, where she is seen talking to some CISF officers. The CISF Commandant has taken note of the incident, and is questioning the constable, sources said. One of her aides has also informed the local police, sources said. Ms Ranaut did not talk to reporters after landing in Delhi. Earlier today, she had posted a photo on Instagram captioned, "On my way to parliament. Mandi ki sansad. "

In a video statement on X later this evening, Ms Ranaut said she is safe, but is concerned about rising terrorism in Punjab. "I am safe. I am perfectly fine. The incident happened at the security checkin. The woman guard waited for me to cross. She then came from the side and hit me. She started throwing expletives. I asked why she hit me. She said 'I support farmers'. I am safe, but my concern is terrorism is rising in Punjab. How do we handle that?" Ms Ranaut said. Shocking rise in terror and violence in Punjab.... pic.twitter.com/7aefpp4blQ Kangana Ranaut (Modi Ka Parivar) (@KanganaTeam) June 6, 2024 The CISF constable said she was upset with Ms Ranaut over the actorturnedMP's "Rs 100" statement during the farmers' protest. "She had given a statement that the farmers are sitting there for Rs 100. Will she go and sit there? My mother was sitting there and protesting when she gave this statement," the constable said. Ms Ranaut in December 2020 had posted the "Rs 100" comment on X, after seeing an elderly woman who she said was "available for Rs 100", suggesting she can be hired to attend protests. The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee's chief Manjinder Singh Sirsa had said Ms Ranaut should give an "unconditional apology" within a week. The actor has later deleted that post too. During the election campaign, farmers had blocked her convoy in Chandigarh while Ms Ranaut was going towards Mandi. In February 2021, international pop star Rihanna had posted on X (then Twitter) a swipe at the Centre over the farmers' protest, saying, "Why aren't we talking about this?"

To this, Ms Ranaut had responded, "No one is talking about it because they are not farmers, they are terrorists who are trying to divide India, so that China can take over our vulnerable broken nation and make it a Chinese colony much like the USA... Sit down you fool, we are not selling our nation like you dummies. "

Ms Kangana had later deleted the post. Prime Minister Narendra Modi in November 2021 nearly 15 months since the protests started had announced the three farm laws at the heart of the fierce protests by farmers would be withdrawn. Among the many controversies, farmers were worried the new law would eliminate MSP, and cited fear of corporatisation of agriculture a scenario in which large companies use their financial might to force unreasonably low prices on farmers.

New ‘Hunger Games’ Novel Coming in 2025 from Suzanne Collins

Collins and her publisher Scholastic on Thursday announced that a new installment in The Hunger Games series will be released next year. The new book the fifth in the series will be called Sunrise on the Reaping, and is set for release March 18, 2025. Sunrise will take place 24 years before the events of the first novel The Hunger Games, starting on the morning of the reaping of the Fiftieth Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell, per Scholastic. No film rights were announced in conjunction with the book, but all of the previous installments in the series have been adapted into feature films by Lionsgate. The last film in the series, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, grossed nearly $340 million at the box office last year. The original four installments of the series, starring Jennifer Lawrence, earned nearly $3 billion at the box office. With Sunrise on the Reaping, I was inspired by David Humes idea of implicit submission and, in his words, the easiness with which the many are governed by the few, Collins said in a statement. The story also lent itself to a deeper dive into the use of propaganda and the power of those who control the narrative. The question Real or not real? seems more pressing to me every day.

However, Gagas call to action seems to have been overshadowed by her use of Swifts lyrics, as fans in the 8,000+ comments (as of press time) could only focus on the possibility of a Gaga and Swift collab. While Swift was coming to Gagas defense, she also may have been making a statement to TikTok users who have been speculating that she is pregnant as well. However, a user noted she had already shut down the rumors about her at one of her Madrid shows, while singing But Daddy I Love Him. In the song, Swift says, Now Im running with my dress unbuttoned / Screaming But Daddy I love him! / Im having his baby / No, Im not, but you should see your faces.

Simon Cowell breaks 'America's Got Talent rule' for drone show

The device is what the judges turn to when they want to send an act directly into the live shows, bypassing a vote of the panel, which also includes Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, and Sofia Vergara. The show made an announcement there would a change in March, but the audience is just now seeing it played out. Cowell decided to make the unprecedented move he buzzed in for amazing singer Liv Warfield earlier in the same episode when he saw the group Sky Elements perform.

'The Acolyte’ Recap: What Happened in 'Star Wars' Prequel's Premiere?

Set in the final days of the High Republic era before the events of The Phantom Menace the mystery thriller tells the original story of a former Jedi reuniting with her master to solve a string of murders, confronting a darkness they hadnt anticipated along the way. Episode 1 leapt right into action with Amandla Stenbergs Mae, a Forcesensitive assassin, confronting the Jedi Master Indara (played by CarrieAnne Moss) over a yettoberevealed grudge. Mae then turned her attention to the other patrons, drawling Indara into a oneonone fight that ended with Indaras death. We then met her identical twin sister Osha, a freelance mechanic working aboard a freighter. The Jedi Knight Yord Fandar (Chicago Fire and Russian Dolls Charlie Barnett) dropped in to question her over Indaras murder, with their friendly conversation revealing that Osha chose to leave the Jedi Order on her own accord. Though she maintained her innocence about the recent killing, a witness eyed her at the scene, giving Yord no choice but to take her in. You see, most were unaware that Osha was a twin, and the few who did thought Mae died in a fire on their home planet years ago. Aboard the ship headed to Coruscant for trial, Osha had planned to leave her fate to the Jedi but crashlanded alone on an icy planet thanks to a prison break by her fellow inmates (who were then recaptured by the Jedi). Elsewhere, Jedi Master Sol (Squid Games Lee Jungjae) wasnt convinced that Osha killed Indara since he remembered her as a devoted Padawan. His colleague Vernestra (Rebecca Henderson) granted his request to take a small team to bring her in, and he chose Yord and his apprentice Jecki Lon (Logans Dafne Keen) for the job. A chat with Jecki yielded more intel on Osha and Mae. Mae started the fire that killed their entire family and Sol, who was posted there, took Osha as his Padawan after rescuing her. He believed Mae was dead because he watched her die. Given that shes alive, though, somethings amiss. Sol caught up to Osha on the snowy planet and believed her when she again pleaded her innocence. That was evident in Episode 2 as she walked freely around his ship rather than in handcuffs. Elsewhere, Maes next target brought her to a local Jedi temple on the planet Olega. Like Indara, she confronted Master Tobin about unfinished business and demanded that he attack her. But the sleeping Jedi didnt budge, not even as she hurled her knives and failed to penetrate the invisible shield a Force barrier? preventing her from touching him. As another checked on the commotion, she fled with the intent of coming back later. Back on the icy planet, Sol was convinced that Mae was still alive and Osha was innocent, and a suspicious Yord warned that they could be working together. The crew then learned of the attack on Master Torbin from Vernestras hologram and got the approval to investigate. Mae returned to the temple with a poison created by her accomplice Qimir (Manny Jacinto) and gave Master Torbin two options confess his crime to the Jedi Council or receive the forgiveness he sought from her via that vial. He chose the latter, opening his mouth for the first time in a decade to say, Ive been waiting for you Forgive me, we thought we were doing the right thing. He drank, and dropped dead right there. Osha was the first to find him Mae fled by then and was almost blamed for the murder. But Yord, whod been following her, cleared her name by confirming that Torbin was already dead when she discovered the body. Osha then posed as her sister to get more information from Qimir, who told them he was meeting with her later. In a debate that spoke to the Jedis core ideology, Sol insisted on confronting Mae alone, urging Osha to let her go of her grief and desire for revenge against her sister. While he couldnt save Mae back then, he hoped to do so now. But as Osha pointed out, Mae looked to kill all four Jedi who were stationed on their home planet for a yettoberevealed reason, including him. In response, Sol simply asked her to have faith in him as well as her sister. As with the others, Mae attacked Sol first, trying and failing to disarm the skilled Jedi Master. Sol, in turn, took all her knives and looked into her mind, learning that even she didnt know the identity of her new master. Whoever it was had gone to great lengths to conceal themself. Maes quick thinking, drumming up sand as a distraction while cornered by Sol and Yord, helped her escape. And although Osha was hot on her trail, she again evaded capture when Osha took aim with a blaster and missed. Qimir then offered to make it up to Mae (after selling her out) by helping her escape to Khofar, a forest retreat in the Outer Rim. That was the home of her next target, the Wookiee Jedi Master Kelnacca. In a final shot, two lost scavengers stumbled upon his crashed ship and were quickly scared away with the hairy beings mighty roar. Kelnacca, it seems, wasnt a fan of trespassers.
