In the wake of the torpedo that crash-landed on her career last year, legendary Hollywood publicist Peggy Siegal has opted to share some revealing details of her 12-year relationship with Jeffrey Epstein this week in a New York magazine feature, detailing the quid pro quo she and the late financier developed as he sought inroads to the entertainment industry's A-class and she enjoyed the spoils of his vast wealth. Siegal, 78, saw her four-decade career working with Hollywood's top studios and directors to push their films and create Oscar buzz obliterated when she was named as one of the "social guarantors" who helped Epstein gain footing in elite circles when he left jail in Florida in the mid-aughts. In recent months, hundreds of emails between Epstein and Siegal have been unleashed sporadically by the Department of Justice after a bipartisan House vote forced their release. The emails have laid bare their cozy and affectionate language and paint...

Casey Wasserman was literally born to be a titan of the Hollywood industry. This week, the powerhouse talent agent has faced a revolt after appearing in the Epstein files , for both riding on the late convicted sex offender's plane and exchanging suggestive messages with Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend and convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. The slow trickle exploded into public view this week after singer Chappell Roan announced she was leaving Wasserman's eponymous talent agency. Singer Orville Peck quickly followed, and then singer-songwriter Weyes Blood, among others. While Wasserman has not been accused by authorities of any wrongdoing, he is facing pressure from both his talent and his talent's agents to step aside. CNN reached out to more than 70 artists on Wasserman Agency's roster seeking comment. None chose to reply.

A new artificial intelligence video generator from Beijing-based ByteDance, the creator of TikTok, is drawing the ire of Hollywood organisations that say Seedance 2.0 "blatantly" violates copyright and uses the likeness of actors and others without permission. Seedance 2.0, which is only available in China for now, lets users generate high-quality AI videos using simple text prompts. The tool quickly gained condemnation from the movie and TV industry.
