The president of Sony Pictures Entertainment Film Group made the assertion at a session hosted by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Japan External Trade Organization. This is part of an industry program following Japan’s designation as an honorary country at this year’s Cannes…

“Do you remember the time you were born?” Less than 10 minutes into her conversation with Ally Luber, the “Vanderpump Rules” alum wasted no time in assuming the role of interviewer.

But given Lubar’s enthusiasm and expertise in all things celestial (she’s a “spiritual astrologer” by trade and charges a pretty penny ($375 to be exact) for a detailed one-on-one horoscope), I (Virgo Sun, Leo Rising, Pisces Moon) can’t help but ask for her…

YouTube once funded creator-driven original content — but the streaming giant wound that down several years ago and instead embarked on a strategy to promote shows YouTubers are already producing themselves. That makes YouTube an outlier during TV upfronts week: It’s making an ad pitch to Madison Avenue on content it doesn’t directly control or finance. At its YouTube Brandcast in New York Wednesday, the Google-owned platform is doubling down on the strategy. At the heart of its presentation is a slate of new and returning creator shows coming exclusively to YouTube, including from “The Daily Show” alum Trevor Noah,…

It’s Wednesday, and Brewster is sipping coffee on the patio of one of the Croisette’s luxury hotels as he prepares for a marathon day that will culminate with a midnight…
