Netflix will be brought under tougher UK regulation alongside Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ as the government extends the authority of broadcast regulator Ofcom to major streaming services. These platforms, once unregulated like traditional TV, must now follow content and accessibility standards meant to protect viewers from harmful material. Ofcom will enforce rules on accurate news reporting and audience complaints, with potential fines for breaches. The move reflects the shift toward streaming, with on-demand use surpassing live TV in the UK. The changes aim to level the playing field with broadcasters like the BBC and enhance viewer protections.

Domestic racing-comedy Pegasus 3, headlined by actor Shen Teng, dominated China’s 2026 Lunar New Year box office, racking up roughly $369 million in ticket sales over its first six days and leading the holiday frame.
The overall Spring Festival box office dropped sharply — down around 38–39 percent compared with last year’s haul — even as major titles pulled in strong numbers.
Despite the softer market, Pegasus 3 accounted for roughly half of China’s total holiday box office, underscoring its broad local appeal.
Industry watchers point to increased screenings and a packed slate of domestic films across genres, but weaker word-of-mouth for some newcomers weighed on ticket sales overall.
The Spring Festival window remains a crucial period for Chinese cinema, though this year’s figures show both opportunities and challenges for local blockbusters.

Supermodel and TV host Heidi Klum revealed a challenging moment from her career when a client stopped working with her once she became pregnant, saying she was no longer viewed the same in the fashion world.
Klum reflected that being visibly pregnant on television and in campaigns was rare at the time, which made it harder for her to find work and maternity fashion choices were limited.

Klum also noted that the industry has since shifted, with more openness toward different kinds of models and parents in front of the camera.

Former Home Improvement actor Zachery Ty Bryan has been sentenced to 16 months in jail following a guilty plea in a 2024 DUI case in California, with probation denied and credit given for time already served.
The 44-year-old’s sentence stems from a felony DUI charge connected to a traffic stop in La Quinta, where his blood-alcohol level was reported well above the legal limit.
Judges refused probation due to Bryan’s prior DUI history, meaning he’s expected to serve over 14 months of the term after accounting for jail credit.
This marks another legal setback in a series of arrests over the past few years for DUI and other offenses, overshadowing his earlier career as a child star.
The actor also faces unresolved legal matters and probation issues in other states, adding uncertainty to his future beyond the current sentence.

John Davidson, a well-known Tourette’s syndrome activist and the real-life inspiration behind the film I Swear, unintentionally shouted a racial slur and other outbursts during the 2026 British Academy Film Awards.

His vocal tics — a symptom of Tourette’s — occurred while actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were presenting, causing discomfort among attendees and viewers.

BAFTA and the BBC both apologized after the offensive language remained in the initial broadcast despite a tape delay.

Davidson later issued a statement saying he was “deeply mortified” and emphasized that the outbursts were involuntary, not reflective of his beliefs.
The incident has sparked broader conversations about understanding Tourette’s while balancing respect for those affected by the language heard at the ceremony.

Director Woody Allen — the Oscar-winning filmmaker — is highlighted among the A-list names tied to financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s social and professional orbit, according to The Hollywood Reporter analysis of newly released documents.

The piece maps connections between Epstein and Hollywood stars, producers, moguls and fixers, showing how Epstein cultivated relationships across the entertainment industry before his 2019 arrest.

Allen’s inclusion in the files comes alongside mentions of other big-name figures — though appearing in the documents doesn’t prove wrongdoing or awareness of Epstein’s crimes.

While details about Allen’s specific interactions aren’t spelled out in the report, his long-standing social and professional presence in elite cultural circles is part of what landed him in Epstein’s orbit.

Season 3’s trailer showcases Basso’s Peter Sutherland in roof chases, underwater fights and intense physical confrontations, with the actor embracing high-risk moments rather than deferring to stunt doubles.

Creator Shawn Ryan praised his physical commitment, calling Basso one of the most gifted in-front-of-camera stunt performers he’s worked with.

Rapper Nicki Minaj is at the center of a fresh controversy after a report suggested that thousands of inauthentic accounts may have boosted engagement on her political posts on X, particularly those tied to her recent pro-Trump stance.

The Hollywood Reporter notes her X feed — where she once shared a Trump-signed Bible — was flagged in a disinformation analysis for “amplification bots” that could be driving much of the conversation.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and teammate Travis Kelce are being sued by a sneaker company over the name of their Kansas City restaurant, 1587 Prime. The suit from 1587 Sneakers alleges trademark infringement, saying the restaurant’s name and branded merchandise could confuse customers with its own established “1587” brand.
Mahomes and Kelce opened the steakhouse last year with the name inspired by their jersey numbers (15 for Mahomes and 87 for Kelce), but the shoe brand claims it was using the four-digit mark earlier in footwear and apparel.
The sneaker company’s application to trademark “1587” is reportedly still under review, while Mahomes’ group registered “1587 Prime” last year in the restaurant category.
Legal experts say the case may hinge on whether consumers really could be confused between a restaurant and a shoe label — two different industries that sometimes can share similar names.

Country legend Tim McGraw recently revealed he had to go toe-to-toe with his own record label and industry elites to keep his early hit “Indian Outlaw” on his second album — despite executives calling it too controversial and “not country music.” The 58-year-old said he fell in love with the song after hearing it live and insisted it be included, even though the label repeatedly rejected it. His gamble paid off: Indian Outlaw became his first top-10 country hit and went platinum, helping launch his massive career. McGraw acknowledged the cultural pushback, met with Native American leaders about the song’s stereotypes, and encouraged using the song to spark positive conversations. Looking back, he credits that fight — and the success that followed — as a pivotal moment in shaping his long-lasting success in country music.

Vanity Fair has dramatically cut its 2026 Oscar party guest list in half, focusing the roster strictly on A-list Hollywood talent and actual Oscar winners under new editorial leadership. The exclusive after-party, set to take place at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, will also enforce no social-media posting from inside and keep most press outside the event perimeter. In a clear break from recent years, Donald Trump and other Trump administration figures were notably snubbed from this year’s invitations, reflecting a shift away from mixing politics with Tinseltown’s biggest night. Historically the bash has welcomed politicians and power players alongside movie stars, but the new strategy is about restoring the party’s original elite allure. Organizers are now treating a personal invite or an Oscar statuette as the primary ticket in — a move likely to make this year’s guest list one of the most coveted in years.

Actor Anna Sawai is opening up about stepping into the role of Yoko Ono in director Sam Mendes’ ambitious four-film Beatles biopic event, calling it “very meaningful” to tell the misunderstood artist’s story.

The films, which explore the lives of each Beatles member and are slated for simultaneous release in April 2028, also feature big names like Harris Dickinson and Paul Mescal in key roles.
Sawai, who recently gained acclaim for her work in Shōgun and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, says portraying Ono is both inspiring and a chance to shed light on an iconic yet sometimes controversial figure.

Both movies reflect different audience appetites this season — one a lively animated underdog, the other a star-driven period romance — making the box office race unusually tight.

Paramount’s long-anticipated sequel to the iconic 1997 action hit Face/Off has hit a major roadblock: director Adam Wingard has exited the project after years of attachment, leaving the studio to reopen the search for fresh directorial vision.

Originally tapped to helm the follow-up — which many hoped would reunite stars Nicolas Cage and John Travolta — Wingard’s departure signals a significant shift in the film’s development just as buzz was building around its return.

Despite this setback, Paramount hasn’t scrapped the sequel entirely, instead turning the director’s chair into an open assignment for interested filmmakers to pitch bold new takes on the story.

Cage, whose electric performance helped make the original a cult classic, remains a hopeful anchor for fans eager to see him reprise his role — though no official casting or release details have been locked down yet.

Veteran music industry powerbroker Irving Azoff has publicly blasted YouTube for its decision to stop providing streaming data to Billboard charts, accusing the platform of undermining fair measurement and compensation for artists.

In a sharply worded open letter, Azoff urged the music business — and lawmakers — to stand up to what he called YouTube’s “bullying” and its outdated approach to how streams are counted for chart placements.

YouTube had earlier said it would withdraw its data from Billboard’s charts, claiming the current formula for weighting ad-supported streams no longer made sense, a move that could reshape how hits are tallied.

Azoff argues this change disadvantages artists and skews the industry’s view of what’s truly popular, pushing for greater transparency and respect for creative creators.

Sony Pictures is developing a brand-new Venom movie, but instead of live-action it’s taking the franchise into animation with veteran filmmakers Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein directing.

The animated project is being shaped at Sony Pictures Animation, with a writers’ room just opening to craft the story — meaning the script and full plot are still early in development.

Tom Hardy, who brought Eddie Brock/Venom to life in the live-action trilogy, is understood to be involved in some capacity, though it’s unclear if he’ll voice the character or take on a producer role.

Producers from the original films like Amy Pascal, Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are expected to return, linking the animated spin-off to the established Venom universe.

The move marks Sony’s push to reinvent the Venom brand beyond live-action, potentially reaching new audiences while keeping fan interest alive.

Snooki revealed she’s struggled with abnormal pap smear results for years and urged her followers — especially women — to stay on top of routine screenings to catch potential issues early.

“Sex Education” alum Emma Mackey has exited the much-anticipated Nancy Meyers romantic comedy set to release on Christmas Day 2027, leaving fans and studios scrambling for a new lead.

The rom-com — which moved from Netflix to Warner Bros. and had a hefty $100M+ budget — was gearing up to start production when Mackey stepped away, reportedly due to scheduling conflicts with her slate of other films including Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew.

Insiders note that the part she left behind was inherited after Scarlett Johansson’s earlier exit, making the last-minute departure a headache for the holiday tentpole.

Warner Bros. is now actively searching for a replacement, though other big names like Penélope Cruz, Kieran Culkin, Jude Law and Owen Wilson are still attached.

Meyers’ project has been touted as her return to the director’s chair after over a decade, amplifying the pressure to keep momentum despite the casting shake-up.

Netflix’s co-CEO Ted Sarandos has been central to this shift, steering the streamer from content creation into bold acquisition territory while weighing regulatory scrutiny and rival bids.
The massive Warner Bros. deal, originally set at roughly $72 billion in equity, reflects how studios and streamers are consolidating to compete globally.
Industry watchers note the deal’s ripple effects across Hollywood, pushing rival suitors and sparking debates over future content ownership and distribution power.
As Sarandos pushes Netflix deeper into M&A, the media landscape in 2026 could look very different from just a few years ago.

Renowned Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi, Oscar-nominated for It Was Just an Accident, publicly condemned creeping state violence and brutal government crackdowns amid ongoing nationwide protests.
Speaking at the Berlin Film Festival, Panahi urged global attention to the deadly toll of the Iranian regime’s repression, calling the situation a “mass slaughter” while advocating solidarity with victims and families.
His remarks come as Iran continues to face fierce anti-government demonstrations sparked by economic strife and political dissent.
Panahi’s latest film — a Palme d’Or winner and double Oscar nominee — draws on real experiences of state oppression, giving his activism added weight.
Despite being sentenced in absentia in Iran for alleged propaganda, he remains a leading voice for artistic freedom and human rights.

Emmy-nominated Severance producer Nicky Weinstock has jumped on board to help make The Black Book 2 – Old Scores, a follow-up to the blockbuster Nigerian crime thriller that topped Netflix charts worldwide.
The original The Black Book starred veteran actor Richard Mofe-Damijo as Paul Edima, a former hitman turned deacon driven to avenge his son’s death — a role that helped the film break into Netflix’s Top 10 in over 60 countries.
Directed by Editi Effiong, the 2023 action-packed hit blended gritty revenge drama with social commentary and became one of Nollywood’s biggest global successes.
With Weinstock now producing, the sequel is expected to carry forward the high-stakes storytelling and expand its reach beyond Africa.
Industry insiders say this partnership signals growing crossover interest between Hollywood and Nollywood narratives on streaming platforms.

Netflix’s new adult animated courtroom comedy Strip Law — starring Adam Scott as hapless Vegas lawyer Lincoln Gumb — delivers a barrage of crude humor, surreal courtroom antics and nonstop pop-culture gags in its first season.
Scott’s character, desperate to win cases, teams up with flamboyant street magician Sheila Flambé (voiced by Janelle James) to spice up his legal practice amid absurd trials that include everything from suing body parts to disputing the existence of Santa.
Critics say the show channels adult animation’s zanier side but often overwhelms jokes with sheer volume, leaning heavily on rapid-fire references rather than deeper storytelling or character arcs.
While some applaud its chaotic energy and sharp voice cast, others find Strip Law more distracting than clever, with the spectacle sometimes outshining the satire.
Still, Scott’s performance anchors the series’ off-kilter tone, giving viewers plenty of laughs amid the Las Vegas-style legal absurdity, even if it doesn’t always stick

The Japanese animated feature A New Dawn, directed by veteran creator Yoshitoshi Shinomiya — who previously worked with Your Name director Makoto Shinkai — is making waves after its premiere in competition at the Berlin International Film Festival.
Young voice actor Riku Hagiwara leads the cast as Keitaro, a determined protagonist grappling with his family’s fireworks factory facing demolition amid rapid urban change.
Blending hand-drawn artistry with thoughtful themes about tradition, community and environmental pressures, the film marks Shinomiya’s first full-length directorial effort.
Critics note A New Dawn echoes the emotional storytelling of Shinkai’s works while forging its own identity with striking visuals and a heartfelt rural narrative.
With its Berlinale selection and international buzz, the anime is poised to open wider conversations about preserving heritage in an age of modernization.
