The Hollywood strikes may be over, but the entertainment industry continues to face turmoil. On top of the writers' and actors' walkouts that shut down almost all film and TV production for several months in 2023, the business is going through a retrenchment that started in 2022 when Netflix lost subscribers for the first time , causing Wall Street to sour on streaming. The box office hasn't fully recovered from the pandemic, and advertisers are cutting back , leading companies from Disney to Netflix to Amazon to make wide headcount cuts. The motion picture and sound recording industries shed 44,000 jobs from May to October, when employment stood at 436,000 jobs, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics . The industry has shrunk by 26% as the strikes accelerated a contraction in employment that was already underway since its 2022 peak, according to a study by Otis College of Art and Design, which is the first in a series with the Otis College Report on the C...

The post If You Thought Celebrity Couple Coverage Was Dumb Before, Just Wait Until the 2024 Election appeared first on Consequence . There's nothing in American culture so dumb that politics can't make it dumber. As proof, look no further than the breathless media coverage of the relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce , which is very much like any other courtship between two people, except for a few minor details: their good looks, their vast wealth (Swift and Ke lce combine for over $1 billion, in the same way that Michael Jordan and Stacey King once combined for 70 points against the Cavs), the apparent likability of their potential in-laws, and the involvement of the NFL, Fox News, and two presidents of the United States. How did we get here? Why are a pop star and a football player suddenly big stories in the 2024 election? For current President Joe Biden , the answer is simple: Swift endorsed him in the 2020 election — but with cookies instead o...

Jeremy Clarkson's secret health scare Jeremy Clarkson has revealed he had a secret health scare ahead of the release of the latest series of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Jeremy, 63,  said: "I had a 5cm cyst, which is now not a cyst any more. "Lisa took me to a health farm and, well, it was so miserable there that I thought, 'I've got to have this cyst taken out at some point, I may as well go now'. "So I checked out of the whole place and checked into hospital, because it was more fun having an operation than eating juniper berries all day long. "As I lay under the surgeon's knife, I thought 'this is preferable'. "I did actually lose a stone though — mind you, half of that was probably the cyst. But it wasn't cancer. It was never going to be cancerous though — I wasn't in the mood." Dancing on Ice fans furious Dancing On Ice fans have been left furious after Adele was "undermarked...

RICHMOND — A man has been arrested in the December killing of the "Hollywood buck," a legendary deer known around the country for its massive 29-point rack and a habit of appearing like a vision in the city's historic Hollywood Cemetery. Jason Walters, 36, of Richmond was arrested Sunday and charged with 19 violations including illegal possession of wildlife, trespassing, failing to check and tag a deer, and littering, according to the state's Department of Wildlife Resources. The charges also relate to two other bucks that authorities said Walters poached from a part of Richmond that includes neighborhoods, cemeteries and parkland. The charges are misdemeanors, said Maj. Ryan Shuler, deputy chief of law enforcement for the wildlife department, and a few of them carry possible jail time as well as fines. Walters was released after his arrest, Shuler said. He could not be reached for comment Monday and it could not be determined if he...

A juror at Alex Murdaugh 's trial made the bombshell admission on Monday that her decision to convict the disgraced former lawyer of murdering his wife and son was influenced by a court clerk. The juror, identified as Juror Z, said that comments by Colleton County clerk Becky Hill throughout the six-week trial influenced her decision to find Murdaugh guilty of the 2021 murder of his wife, Maggie, and his son Paul. Among those comments, she said, was Hill's direction to watch Murdaugh "closely." "To me, it felt like she made it seem like he was already guilty," Juror Z said during an evidentiary hearing on Monday to determine whether Murdaugh should get a new trial for jury tampering. Previously, Juror Z wrote an affidavit stating that her March verdict was influenced by "pressure from other jurors." When former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Jean Toal, who questioned the juror, read her affidavit in court, the juror found that her ...
