Thursday’s surprising news that Netflix is ending its pursuit of Warner Bros. caught nearly everyone in Hollywood off guard, including staff at Warner Bros., Paramount, and Netflix. Of course, reactions varied, depending on which side of the Hollywood Hills you sat on, what department you belonged to, and even your political persuasion. “It’s obviously very upsetting for our employees,” said one Warner Bros. executive, who described the news as “gut-wrenching.” Studio employees said they expected Netflix to remain silent for at least four days, hoping that it would come up with a new proposal to beat Paramount Skydance’s “superior offer.”…
Sylvester Stallone spoke Wednesday about the grueling and physically demanding work it took to make the fight scenes in Rocky look authentic. “There was a time like this before Rocky was on screen,” the 79-year-old wrote on his Instagram, while sharing a video of Stallone and Apollo Creed actor Carl Weathers practicing boxing choreography. “Repetitions, footwork, timing,” he added. “When you get hit, you get back up. We wrote the script in three and a half days, but the physical labor took months. Nothing was an accident. If you want it to feel real, you have to live it.” In…
CNBC has laid off fewer than 12 editorial staff as the Versant-backed cable network overhauls its structure under new editor-in-chief David Cho. People familiar with the matter said Jeffrey McCracken, editor-in-chief of CNBC’s digital news venue, will be among those leaving as a result of the reorganization. “The changes made today are intended to align CNBC’s newsroom structure for the future and are not driven by cost-cutting. We plan to hire more than 40 new editorial positions over the next year across our television, digital and direct-to-consumer platforms,” CNBC said in a statement. Reuters previously reported on the job cuts.…

John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy left their mark on New York City’s bustling dining scene — one effortlessly cool table at a time. Before their love story tragically ended in a 1999 plane crash, Carolyn and the only son of President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis embodied a certain downtown duality: as comfortable slipping into a low-key neighborhood spot as they were holding court in an impossibly chic, downtown dining room. Several of their favorite haunts have been spotlighted in FX and Hulu’s 2026 drama, “Love Story,” while other intimate moments were immortalized by the…

The couple, who wed on January 7, 2006, each posted heartfelt tributes on Instagram on their 19th wedding anniversary last year, but they clearly didn’t acknowledge the milestone this time around. “19 years ago on a beach in Costa Rica, we both took a chance we never believed in. We are so happy,” Pink wrote in a 2025 post, along with a photo of the two of them in ski gear. Neither Pink nor her husband Carey Hart (pictured above…

On Thursday, Gellar posted a series of photos with her late Buffy the Vampire Slayer co-star, saying they were “lucky” to have spent so much time together. “From the first day we walked on set together to when, less than a year later, you were already taller than me,” Geller wrote. “But I first worked with you on ‘All My Children.’ I watched you become a star on ‘Harriet.’ Geller, 48, added that when she thinks of Trachtenberg,…
