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."

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.

without a doubt the most important thing happening in the world right now.

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.

If I can't do what I want to do, I'm going to quit doing what I've been doing,

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,

"Someone asked me what raising three kids and building a career in Hollywood looked like... It looked like spending a lot of time in trailers together."

Gal Gadot expressed disappointment over the box office performance of Snow White, attributing it partly to the backlash from her reluctance to speak against Israel.

Even though it was challenging at times, having kids gave me perspective about what was important in life.

Tom Cruise reportedly rejected President Donald Trump's invitation to receive a Kennedy Center Honor due to scheduling conflicts, as his November calendar is full with a Governors Awards appearance.

"War of the Worlds focuses on the computer screen of Homeland Security officer Will Radford as he monitors a huge network of surveillance videos to keep the country safe."

Lorna Raver, known for her role as Mrs. Ganush in "Drag Me to Hell," passed away at 81. She was noted for her complex performances and contributions to film.

Danny Bensusan opened the Blue Note in Greenwich Village in 1981, becoming home to iconic jazz names. 44 years later, the venue is expanding to Hollywood.

Nicole Kidman is a versatile actor known for her roles in various genres. Critics have rated her highest movies, including "Paddington" and "Flirting," quite highly.
