When did the entertainment industry start its downturn? Was it the rise of Netflix ? The strikes? The COVID-19 pandemic? Brad Hall, founder of EntertainmentCareers.Net , said the dip began in December 2019. During the final quarter of that year, he and his team noticed some very “strange signals” that suggested jobs in production were about to take a massive hit. “We felt that we had reached a pinnacle of production in our lifetime, especially in the United States, especially in Los Angeles, and we didn’t see a meaningful recovery for 10 years,” he said. “Then, of course, that was all hidden because the pandemic happened and then multiple labor strikes.” Hollywood took a similar hit during the economic crisis and recession that began in 2008, but recovery came when tech companies like Amazon, Netflix, and Apple poured in cash to build platforms and libraries. Today, Hall doesn’t see a savior â€" but there’s still creative work to be found and a lot o...

There’s much to treasure about the Met Gala every year, but one of the most exciting parts of the Monday’s party â€"held to celebrate the Costume Institute’s Spring 2025 exhibition, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” â€"was getting our fill of celebrity gossip.

Mathieu Bonzon spent over a decade working in production in Hollywood, with credits including "Outrage" and "Ford v Ferrari." But when work slowed in 2022 , Bonzon, who had a new baby at home, needed more financial stability than an independent producer's life allowed for. An introduction to the Gates Foundation led him to start making cinematic educational videos aimed at college kids for Gates, NASA, and other organizations. The long-term contracts brought a more predictable income than he had as a producer. He's able to get talented crews because so many people are looking for work. He also finds the work more rewarding than the Hollywood films he'd worked on, seeing the potential to make education more accessible. "It's liberated me from needing to do something to pay my bills and liberated me to do something that's more meaningful to me," Bonzon said. The end of Peak TV, Hollywood labor strikes, and the shift of T...

Madeline HalpertReporting from court in New York Image caption, Sean "Diddy" Combs watches as his defence lawyer Brian Steel cross-examines Los Angeles Police Department Officer Christopher Ignacio This morning, we've been hearing from several officials who are testifying about the alleged arson of Kid Cudi's car in 2012, which first came up in the trial last week . On the stand was LA arson investigator Lance Jimenez, who investigated Kid Cudi's car after it was burned. He's now returned to the stand to give further evidence. Before returning, attorneys were arguing about prosecutors' questions about the destruction of fingerprints at the scene of Kid Cudi's car fire. Combs's defence team moved for a mistrial because of the questions, arguing the court couldn't "un-ring that bell" - in other words they would still be wondering whether Combs had something to do with it. In the end, the judge rejected the mistrial...

The city of Hollywood and the nonprofit Ocean Rescue Alliance International have teamed up to deploy a snorkel-friendly artificial reef trail 250 to 350 feet off Hollywood Beach. Located in relatively shallow waters from 8 to 15 feet deep, the four reef sites sit off North Beach Park, Harry Berry Park , and Keating Park. Each site has about 12 structures, and is marked by two orange buoys. The project, named Guardians of the Reef, includes 50 modules, 38 of which emulate coral reef habitat and 12 of which are sculptures, including mermaids, oceanic deities such as Poseidon and Amphitrite, and marine animals such as a turtle, octopus and manta ray. Each piece, including the sculptures, is designed to restore coral, but also attract marine life, including crabs, lobsters and an array of reef fish. "This isn't just a reef, it's a movement," said Shelby Thomas, CEO and founder of Ocean Rescue Alliance International. "We're building cities in the ...
