However, one of the media mogul's amenities has garnered particular attention: her private hiking trails on her Telluride, CO land.

© Food Network, Worst Chefs null Actor Matthew Lawrence, best known for Mrs. Doubtfire and his years as part of the Boy Meets World cast ensemble, has opened up about some highly unfortunate experiences he faced in Hollywood throughout his career. The actor, now 43 years old, alleged that he turned down sexual advances from a prominent Hollywood director, claiming it resulted in him losing not just the chance at what sounded like a significant role in a then- upcoming Marvel film , but that it also caused other professional setbacks.  In the latest episode of the Brotherly Love podcast , the Melissa and Joey actor revealed while talking with his brothers and co-hosts that a major Oscar-winning director propositioned him for a chance to land a coveted superhero movie role. While he did not reveal the director's name, nor what project the experience was supposedly tied to, Lawrence alleged that the filmmaker gave a hotel room invite that definitely wasn't meant to remain ...

The Hollywood Writers’ Strike Isn’t About Money, It’s About Survival

An old Klingon proverb tells us, "Only a fool fights in a burning house." In light of that bit of wisdom from "Star Trek," it might seem surprising that the Writers Guild of America West and East, the sister unions that represent the country's film and television writers, are engaged in a fraught labor negotiation with the studios and streaming companies that could lead, after their contract expires on May 1, to Hollywood's biggest strike in 15 years. Looking at the current state of the entertainment industry, we see a theatrical business still struggling to recover from Covid-era disruptions and a television landscape of consolidation and cutbacks in the wake of an unsustainable boom in streaming content. Surely this must be the absolute worst possible time for writers to strike and shut down scripted programming, right? Well, yes. Unfo rtunately, the current negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (an organization tha...

The winner of I'm A Celebrity is...

After a nail-biting finale and a drama packed season, the winner of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Australia 2023 has officially been crowned. And the winner is… Liz Ellis! As the official queen/king of the jungle for season nine, Liz has won $100,000 for their charity of choice, Share the Dignity. "When I was thinking about my charity that I wanted to support, I walked into my local library with my kids, and in the toilet, there was what's called a dignity vending machine and I was intrigued," she revealed. "I found out about it and the charity is called Share the Dignity and it works to provide period products to women who are fleeing domestic violence, who are homeless, who are living in poverty, who are living on the breadline. It just hit me that there will be so many women who would have to make the choice whether to buy period products or whether to buy food to put on the table. "I've got a little girl and I'd hate for her...

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner Dating Rumors Can’t Be Real

The Kardashians gave pop culture one of the most perplexing (and oddly endearing) celebrity couples in recent memory when now-exes Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson went public with their romance last year. Now some new dating rumors, involving a Jenner and an Oscar-nominated actor, have social media in total distress. Last week, celebrity gossip account Deuxmoi posted an anonymous tip that Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet were dating. The page also posted direct messages from online users "confirming" that the tw o are, indeed, a couple. One person claimed that they've known about their alleged romance "since January." Given the dubious nature of the source, social media was initially doubtful of the alleged news, posting a bunch of jokes about the supposedly mismatched pair. However, suspicions about the two ramped up yesterday when TMZ captured a photo of Jenner's Range Rover parked in the Call Me By Your Name's star's dri...

Clarified: Will there be another Hollywood writers strike?

Film and television writers are preparing to step away from their keyboards and go on strike if Hollywood studios refuse to meet demands for a new contract by May 1, 2023. The Writers Guild of America is the union that represents almost 10,000 film and television writers. On April 17, the union announced that its members had authorized a strike, with 98% voting in favor, the highest percentage of support yet. The strike also had a record-breaking turnout, with more than 9,000 members participating. The strike is currently due to start on May 1 unless the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, the bargaining body for the studios, come to an agreement. Why is it happening? The writers are demanding better working conditions and fair compensation from the big Hollywood studios. The WGA claims that the studios have taken advantage of the switch to streaming by prioritizing revenue from those platforms over paying the writers fairly. In the past decade, t...

Under the Hollywood Spotlight, a Fading Welsh Town Is Reborn

In the Welsh language, the virtually untranslatable word "hiraeth" (pronounced here-ayeth) describes a blend of nostalgia and longing for a time that can never be recreated. For Wrexham, a working-class town in northern Wales, it was a feeling that came to define a postindustrial malaise that descended in the 1980s as the last remaining coal mines shuttered their rickety gates and, later, the furnaces at the nearby steelworks ran cold. Only the beloved soccer club, Wrexham A.F.C., remained: the oldest team in Wales, a perennial also-ran but still an indomitable source of local pride. "We went through so much as a town," said Terry Richards, 56, a lifelong fan of the club as he sat at home in the team's bright scarlet jersey. "Those were difficult times." Wales has its legends of heroes returning to sav e the day, but few could have predicted that an unlikely pair of Hollywood actors, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, would waltz into town just ove...
