A prominent YouTube personality has accused a major entertainment company of using highly controversial figures as part of a marketing campaign seemingly targeted at competitor HYBE. The campaign spurred debates across various online platforms about unconventional marketing strategies increasingly prevalent in the entertainment industry. However, the accused company refutes this assertion, maintaining the campaign's purpose was to uphold management rights and clearly convey their position to shareholders. The company admitted to having received proposals to engage YouTube influencers in the campaign yet opted against it. The YouTuber contends that the company intentionally involved certain YouTube influencers, including one notorious for intimidating other influencers, as a part of a contentious retaliatory campaign. This selective use triggered questions about the company's marketing ethics and their choice of partnerships. In the face of intensified scrutiny for ...

Fans who appreciated the increased shirtless and sex scenes in One Tree Hill have Gossip Girl and The O.C. to thank for it according to some of the show's stars. When CBS and Time Warner shut down UPN and The WB, they combined resources and formed then-new broadcast network The CW , which was home to massive shows of the 2000s that still maintain a cult following today. While speaking on this week's One Tree Hill rewatch podcast Drama Queens episode, stars Bethany Joy Lenz , Sophia Bush and Robert Buckley recalled wh en their show moved over to the new network that was also home to Gossip Girl and The O.C. and how that contributed to their show moving forward.

"They just wanted to make sure that you guys had your shirts off on the beach. They wanted to make sure...

Fame is a scary thing. Being known around the country or world might seem like a glamorous concept, but it also invites strangers into your life, which is always risky. Josh Hartnett was an early 2000s HartThrob(ha!) and starred in blockbusters like Pearl Harbor and 30 Days of Night before taking a lengthy acting hiatus. While he has opened up about retreating from Hollywood in the past, Hartnett recently told The Guardian that it was for his own safety and wellbeing. "People's attention to me at the time was borderline unhealthy," he said. Hartnett, who stars in the upcoming thriller Trap, admitted that he had his own harrowing experiences. "There were incidents," he explained. "People showed up at my house. People that were stalking me. A guy showed up at one of my premieres with a gun, claiming to be my father. He ended up in prison." While these scary encounters would be enough for anyone to quit their job, Hartnett said it wasn't...

That's what he did with MoviePass, the moviegoing subscription service he cofounded in 2011. MoviePass, which let users pay a single monthly fee to watch an unlimited number of movies in theaters, saw a stunning rise in the late 2010s — and an even more stunning fall . MoviePass ousted Watt, along with its other cofounder Stacy Spikes, from the company two years before filing for bankruptcy. Its executives were later charged with defrauding investors ; an HBO documentary abou t MoviePass based on Business Insider's reporting was released this May (Spikes regained ownership of MoviePass and relaunched the company himself in 2022). For Watt, the MoviePass story was bittersweet. Despite the company's collapse, Watt felt he'd made a real impact on the entertainment industry. He decided to turn his focus to other sectors that needed radical innovation. "What have I learned, and what do I have the guts to go out now and try — and maybe fail, but maybe succ...

Whether it's an awards show, concert performance or a red carpet appearance, plenty of celebrities have suffered epic wardrobe malfunctions over the years. One of the most memorable in recent times was when singer Maren Morris seemingly went commando while performing at Willie Nelson's 4th of July Picnic in Camden, New Jersey, in 2024. While wearing a denim skirt with a thigh-high slit, a fan captured her walking the stage and "The Middle" singer's apparently naked bottom half was completely visible. Maren later joked about it, saying "nothing embarrasses me anymore" after giving birth to her son in 2020. She's not the only one to have a wild wardrobe malfunction, as seen in these photos of more celebrities and their fashion oopsies.

Kolkata/IBNS: Bengali directors, backed by producers, across different mediums went on a strike for an indefinite period of time from Monday as a mark of protest against the technicians' refusal to work with Rahool Mukherjee as the director of Prosenjit Chatterjee starrer SVF's new film. In a statement issued on Sunday, the Directors' Association of Eastern India (DAEI) said, "Respecting the opinions of most directors, we are requesting our members to refuse to take the shooting floor as long as the issue gets resolved." The DAEI has, however, stated the directive was not for other language projects. The shooting floors of various studios (Dassani, N.T. 1, Technicians' Studio) in the Tollygunge area wore a deserted look on Monday morning. The halting of work is set to threaten the timely release of various Bengali films and web series, which are scheduled to be released in the next few months. The airing of daily soaps is also set to be af...

If you grew up in the '80s, then 2024 has been a very difficult year. A seemingly endless list of celebrities that we relied on have died this year, including Alf's best friend, Doogie's dad and Dylan's girl (until she wasn't). Generation X may feel every one of these celebrity deaths. We won't go as far to call all 12 iconic, but there are definitely legends of film, television and broadcasting. A few even leaked into the 1990s, meaning Generation Y could feel the brunt of this sorrow. Related: Remembering the Country Stars Who Died in 2024 An adored member of the Tanner family leads off a list that also includes a Howser, a Mustard and a "Meat." Two famous newscasters died, including one whose career would tumble after remarks made about the 2020 election. Dolly Parton 's co-star, a Seinfeld favorite and "The King of Sting" also died this year. A strange twist to this list of 12 celebrity deaths (so far) is that three d...

An informal group of "White Dudes for Harris" will meet virtually Monday night to declare their support for the first minority woman nominee of a major party just days after white women did a similar event. Organizers say tens of thousands have already signed up for the call, with the governor of North Carolina and stars like Josh Groban and Mark Hamill slated to speak.  The White Dudes for Harris call was organized on Saturday, less than a week after President Biden dropped his reelection bid. The call was organized by political activist Ben Wessel and a former advisor to Ms. Harris, Mike Nellis. They say more than 67,000 people have signed up for the call so far, and they are aiming for at least 100,000 to participate at eight o'clock Monday night.  "If we're gonna make @KamalaHarris the next President of the United States, we're going to need everyone to step up," Mr. Wessel says. "That means we need to persuade more dudes to vote for H...

Boycotting has been around for centuries, proving time and time again to be an effective yet peaceful way to call attention to problematic or unjust situations. The aim is to inflict economic loss to an individual, corporation, or, in this case, a film, in order to urge a change in behavior. For the most part, boycotting has been used for the better. Pulling support from people or companies who are harming a community is a great idea. However, in some cases, especially in the film industry, it's important to think through the entire impact of a boycott before making a decision.  Things to do:  Subscribe to The Hollywood Insider's YouTube Channel, by clicking here.   Limited Time Offer – FREE Subscription to The Hollywood Insider Click here to read more on The Hollywood Insider's vision, values and mission statement here – Media has the responsibility to better our world – The Hollywood Insider fully focuses on substance and meaningful entertainment, aga...
