Today's entertainment news is heavy on loss and legal battles. The death of Australian rock legend Angry Anderson and the crisis engulfing Dolly Parton's estate overshadow lighter celebrity fare, while the Paramount merger saga continues to grind through the courts.
Two big stories today are about the end of things: a rock icon's passing and a country legend's estate in crisis.
Angry Anderson's death at 79 closes a chapter in Australian rock. He was more than a frontman: ARIA Hall of Fame inductee, TV presenter, and actor, which is why this is getting wide coverage.
The Dolly Parton estate is facing a restraining order against her nephew, who announced her death and now stands accused of threats and extortion. It's a messy, unseemly fight that adds to the legal troubles around her legacy.
The business of entertainment keeps churning, from merger settlements to new production ventures.
The Paramount settlement with state AGs isn't done yet. The judge has 'outstanding questions' and has scheduled another hearing, which means the merger's fate stays uncertain a while longer.
Malta is doubling down on becoming a production hub with its Land Sea Super Stage. The open call for submissions is a signal of ambition, aiming to attract big-budget projects.
Munika Lay and Toni Wang are launching Luna Media with a focus on 'unseen stories' and a new screenwriting lab. It's a small but notable indie production move.
A mixed bag at the movies, with one performance standing out despite a flawed script.
Naomi Watts gets praised for her performance in 'The Housewife,' but the review says the film's direction and script undercut the true story. Worth noting for the performance, not the movie.
