Well, it’s the entertainment industry where interactions often become an instant viral sensation. For example, last year, we witnessed a moment of miscommunication that actually sent ripples through social media. Amber Heard’s friend, supermodel Cara Delevingne, found herself amidst a storm of controversy for what many saw as a rude reply to Formula One legend Martin Brundle during a pre-race grid walk.

However, could it be that Delevingne was unfairly judged? Brundle, known for his candid grid interviews, approached the London-born model for a “quick chat”. Although she politely excused herself, citing her inability to “hear anything”, the internet backlash was swift and severe.
But was this really a snub, or simply a misunderstanding amplified by the roar of the Grand Prix atmosphere?

Recently, Gina Carano gained fame for playing Cara Dune in the first two seasons of ‘The Mandalorian.’ The studio had big plans for her character, even considering a standalone show.
However, everything shifted when Carano made controversial social media posts, including comparing anti-vaxers to Jews and discussing other sensitive topics that clashed with Disney’s image.
In her interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Gina Carano shared her Disney ordeal and how it all began. Disney and Lucasfilm grew worried as controversies surrounded Carano, especially due to her social media posts.
The situation escalated when Carano faced criticism for not sharing her pronouns online in support of the trans rights movement. In response, she added “boop/bop/beep” to her Twitter bio, clarifying it was not meant to mock but to express her frustration, drawing a comparison to R2-D2’s sounds.

Gina Carano is in recent times most notably known as Cara Dune, a pretty big character in the two first seasons of ‘The Mandalorian.’ The studio had seemingly big plans both for the actress and for her character, as she was at one point supposed to receive her own standalone show.
But, everything changed due to a series of controversial social media posts in which Carano compared anti-vaxers to Jews, and after she touched upon other sensitive topics that aren’t quite in tune with modern sensibilities and the image that Disney is trying to maintain.
In her interview with the Hollywood Reporter Gina Carano recounted her struggle with Disney and how everything started. Disney and Lucasfilm became increasingly concerned as controversies surrounded Gina Carano, particularly regarding her social media posts.
However, the tipping point came when Carano faced backlash for refusing to disclose her pronouns online in support of the trans rights movement.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup has raised a huge Series B funding round.
The company, xAI, says that it has secured $6 billion in a new round of funding that values it at $24 billion. Investors in the round include Fidelity, Valor Equity Partners, Vy Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal and Kingdom Holding, and others.
A $6 billion funding round is an astonishingly large number for a company launched less than a year ago, and underscores the desire for investors to secure a piece of AI businesses. It is also a bet on Musk, who continues to serve as CEO or a top executive at companies including Tesla, SpaceX, X (formerly Twitter) The Boring Company and Neuralink.
In the case of xAI, its first major product is a large language model called Grok, which is accessible to premium users of X. Grok is Musk’s version of an Lln,...

Nicole Shanahan, the running mate of the independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., announced that she had donated an additional $8 million to his presidential campaign.
Shanahan’s name started being mentioned as a potential running mate after she donated $4 million to the Kennedy-aligned super Pac earlier in 2024 to fund a Super Bowl commercial.
She officially joined the campaign in late March, with the independent presidential candidate announcing her hometown of Oakland, California.
The running mate then stayed off the campaign trail for some time, only appearing at public events with Kennedy again starting last week.
The $8 million donation brings up her total to the campaign to $10 million, not including the $4 million donation to the super Pac.
Shanahan received over $1 billion from her divorce from Google founder Sergey Brin, who reportedly left her after she slept with Elon Musk.

An annual survey of more than 1,500 respondents has revealed the moneymaking strategies creators are relying on in 2024. More than half of the surveyed individuals are worried that a TikTok ban could affect their financial prospects, and those fears have led to an overall revenue shift from TikTok to YouTube.
These insights come from the 2024 Future of the Creator Economy Report, a data set provided by Epidemic Sound. The leading source for fully-licensed background music initially queried 1,500 creators for its report, but it went back and talked to “a different sample of 1,000 content creators who are currently monetizing their content” after the possibility of a U.S. TikTok ban came into view.
Among the surveyed creators, Epidemic Sound recorded a noticeable trend: Creator dollars are leaving TikTok. In last year’s Future of the Creator Economy Report, 30% of respondents said that the ByteDance-owned app was their top platform for income generation.

Misha Brown almost got eaten by a walrus in Antarctica.
But it’s fine. Totally fine. He survived. (Barely.)
And because he survived, he’s now around to tell us all about the world’s biggest flops.
Let’s back up a second, though. The reason he was in Antarctica in the first place is because, pre-pandemic, he spent a lot of time working as a performer on cruise ships. The schedule was brutal–contracts often last several months, and as Brown puts it, that means staffers both “live and work at work” with extremely tight schedules and multiple daily performances. Despite that, he enjoyed it. He’d always been into musical theater, and spent the 13 years before Covid onstage.

Kanye West and Elon West were two unlikely celebrities who became friends and supported each other during the 2010s.

Musk infamously banned West from X for posting anti-semitic tweets and violating the company’s policy.

A fan recently brought together the two personalities for a surprisingly well-edited video where the two opened up about their life and their fascination with spaceships and rockets. The level of precision and flow of the dialogues of the fan-made interview is just mind-blowing.

Elon Musk has completed the rebrand of Twitter, the dynamic social media platform he acquired in 2022, as the URL, or site name, officially changes to X.com. “All core systems are now on X.com,” he said in a post today. Twitter.com links now redirecting to the X.com.

Elon Musk has taken another major step in his effort to, as they say, “make fetch happen,” officially changing the URL for Twitter.com to X.com. Not to worry, though, you can still type Twitter.com into your browser, like a normal person, and that’ll still take you to the same hell site overflowing with “pussy in bio” bots.

Elon Musk may only be the third richest person in the world, but among his peers he’s the number one target of many late-night hosts. So it’s hardly surprising that the Tesla founder—who has a reputation for trying to disrupt the media spaces he does not like (see: the social media network formerly known as Twitter)—has set his sights on burning late-night television to the ground.
No, Musk isn’t planning to hop behind a desk and deliver a nightly monologue. But apparently he does think that Grok, his AI chatbot, has the talent to out-funny all the Jimmys and Jo(h)ns who currently occupy the post-primetime daypart.
Musk took to X early Thursday to share his plans, explaining: “Grok will soon offer a humorous take on the news in the spirit of how The Daily Show and Colbert Report used to be in ancient times.

Elon Musk is dynamic, and people most undoubtedly hold a polarised opinion of him. Recently, though, his antics on social media and his changes to policies on Twitter (now known as X) have gotten him attention for better or worse.

Jimmy Kimmel rarely holds back during his annual monologue to Disney advertisers, but this year he was particularly brutal about the state of the business.
The ABC late-night host laid into CEO Bob Iger, the Golden Bachelor, streaming bundles, Star Wars, Elon Musk and many other topics.
Here were some of his best — and most cutting — jokes to the Madison Avenue audience:
— “Golden Bachelor is a key part of our strategy to steal CBS’ viewers by putting them in a house together. We’re now launching the Golden Bachelorette, a game show where you can win an old lady. Joan is our new Golden Bachelorette. She has four kids and two grandchildren. Are the grandkids ready to see grandma get raw-dogged in a jacuzzi?”

“Prepare yourselves.”
That’s what a sword weilding Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) declares to Elrond (Robert Aramayo) and her other warrior companions in the just released teaser trailer for Season 2 of Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power – see below:
Season 2 of the J.R.R. Tolkien adaptation is coming on August 29, and “prepare yourselves” just might be an understatement.
One word: Sauron. Another word: Unleashed.
Much grittier and darker than most of Season 1, the just released peek at Season 2 also gives a brief look at the Charlie Vicker’s portrayed Mordor master’s Dark Tower. As well, there’s some new rings and their creation in there too, and one Hell of an explosion that could rival Mount Doom’s big blow-up in Season 1. Or, as Khazad-dûm Prince Durin (Owain Arthur) puts it in said minute-long teaser: “an evil, ancient and powerful has returned” — as you can see above.

Elden Ring is often considered to be one of the hardest games to ever be released, and it requires a certain level of skill and patience to beat it. Soulslike games are not for everybody, but that did not stop Kai Cenat from streaming on his YouTube channel and giving his audience a hilarious walkthrough.
The American streamer did not falter under the intense difficulty of the game and has been progressing quite well with a few minor roadblocks. The fans are getting a kick out of this playthrough series, and Cenat is giving them quality content by finding more amusing ways to perish.

Early on, she stumbled into #TwitterAfterDark, which littered her timeline with sexual innuendos. A few years later, she followed the “Meet Me In Temecula” saga, where two men hilariously feuded over Kobe Bryant, eventually challenging one another to a fight.

SpaceX made history on May 30, 2020 when it became the first commercial company to send astronauts to the International Space Station (Iss), on the Crew Dragon Demo-2 mission. The documentary Return to Space chronicles that mission and the partnership between Elon Musk’s aerospace company and NASA that’s helped transform America’s space program.
The film features spectacular images from space and dramatic footage of SpaceX’s successful launches and dramatic failures. It’s also packed with fascinating information about the history and current state of space travel. Here are the top 10 things we learned from watching.
Without gravity, the heart pumps too much blood to the head. This makes astronauts feel congested and dulls their senses of smell and taste. As a result, the Iss is well stocked with a wide variety of hot sauces, which the astronauts put on almost everything.

Seth Meyers had a relatively short set at Monday’s NBCUniversal upfront, but he still got his shots in. Like this one on NBCU competitor Paramount: “I found $20 on the street this morning,” Meyers said. “Long story short, I’m one of the two finalists [to buy] Paramount.”
We’re not sure the Paramount Global special committee is going to take that offer seriously — kind of like Byron Allen’s. See? We’ve got jokes too.
For real though, the two entities playing tug-of-war with Paramount are 1) David Ellison’s Skydance and 2) a Sony/Apollo Global Management contingent.
Meyers had a few punchlines chambered for his employer. Like this one, on NBCU streaming service Peacock: “Peacock continues to prove that the easiest way to make a billion dollars is to spend eight [billion].”
Peacock is not only (still) losing a ton of money, it has yet to reveal a profitable-by date; even Paramount+ has one of those.

The world works on capitalism in today’s day and age. To get paid for what one works on is only fair. Actors are no exception to this rule, regardless of whether it is The Untouchables’ Robert De Niro or Kevin Costner. Actors take on big roles and get paid heftily for the same. To put in the work and then getting paid for it, or as the world now knows it to be equivalent exchange.

What may be rare to hear, however, is for someone to get paid for not doing something. When a big project comes into play, many actors get eager to take the role, while at the same time, others may not see things in the same direction. Such was the case with Brian De Palma’s The Untouchables.

Elden Ring is next on the list for the American YouTuber.
Some entertainers always go above and beyond for their community and the energy is always matched with the theme of the room. Cenat went all in and redesigned his studio with items inspired by the video game, which set up the mood and atmosphere well.

Neuralink, Elon Musk‘s startup focused on developing brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), announced on Wednesday that part of its brain implant malfunctioned in its first-ever use in a human patient.
The Neuralink system, known as the Link, is designed to enable individuals with paralysis to control external devices using their thoughts. It utilizes a network of 1,024 electrodes, spread across 64 ultra-thin threads thinner than a human hair, to record neural signals, as stated on the company’s website.
In January, Neuralink implanted the Link device into a 29-year-old patient, Noland Arbaugh, as part of a safety study. In March, the company streamed a live video that showed Arbaugh using the Bci, and in an April blog post, Neuralink described the surgery as a success.
In a recent blog post, Neuralink revealed that several threads had retracted from Arbaugh’s brain weeks after the surgery. This resulted in a decrease in the number of functioning electrodes,...

Taking legal action against Disney and Lucasfilm is a monumental task, but Gina Carano is ensuring everybody – especially those she is suing – that she is up for the challenge. This all stems from Carano being fired from The Mandalorian over a series of viewpoints on gender, the Covid-19 pandemic and more, something that triggered the former Mma fighter to enact legal action.
Gina Carano maintained that she was unjustly canned from The Mandalorian, a move that found her being defended by co-star Bill Burr, in addition to Elon Musk, who offered to foot her legal bills. While Disney and Lucasfilm sought to have the case tossed, Carano has refused to back down. Here is a partial response to the studios’ request to dismiss, as per Deadline: “After admitting that they discriminated against Carano for her personal political beliefs and subjected her to disparate treatment from her similarly situated male co-stars,...

The Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is finally here, and both fans and critics have had the opportunity to voice their opinions on the movie and will be able to do it in the upcoming weeks. But, with more fans being able to see the movie, some theories about the characters and their inspirations about them have begun to surface and one of the more popular ones as far as the movie is concerned is the one that the film’s main villain, the ape monarch Proximus Caesar is actually based on controversial businessman Elon Musk.
Many fans have observed similarities between the villain of the film and Musk, leading to many of them believing that Elon Musk was the inspiration behind the character and as it seems, based on what Kevin Durand, the actor who portrayed Proximus Caesar said, it seems that Musk was, indeed, one of the inspirations for the character.

A month after Disney and Lucasfilm filed paperwork to have Gina Carano’s wrongful-discharge and sex-discrimination suit tossed out, the fired Mandalorian star has kicked back to keep her Elon Musk-supported legal action off the mat.
“After admitting that they discriminated against Carano for her personal political beliefs and subjected her to disparate treatment from her similarly situated male co-stars, The Walt Disney Company, Lucasfilm Ltd, and Huckleberry Industries assert that the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gives them absolute immunity,” says the May 9 response to defendants motion to dismiss from Carano’s Schaerr Jaffe lawyers filed in federal court here in LA (read it here). “Defendants are incorrect.”

Jack Dorsey is breaking up with Bluesky. The co-founder of Twitter (now known as X) has abdicated his position on the Bluesky board and deleted his account on the decentralized X alternative he initially backed.
Dorsey’s support helped Bluesky gain ground as an X alternative during the chaotic early months of Elon Musk‘s reign as “Chief Twit.” The decentralized social media protocol seemed to be maintaining its momentum at the start of 2024, when it grew its base to include nearly five million users. Dorsey’s sudden resignation from the board upset that harmony.

Actor Kevin Durand plays Proximus Caesar, the villain in the newest film in the Apes franchise, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
Durand’s mannerisms might remind you of another guy who is in the news – Elon Musk.
In an interview with the Inside Total Film podcast, Durand admitted his character has a few of the same tics as the tech titan.
“That’s awesome! I mean, even with the bonobo face, they compare me to Elon Musk,” he said. “I get Elon Musk all the time, actually, it’s very funny.

Death, taxes, and longtime television showrunner Bryan Fuller parting ways with a project he was once involved in. There are only a few constants in life and, well, tax season is over and we're still here talking ... so feel free to take a wild guess about what just happened!
Horror fans are painfully aware of just how much trouble the "Friday the 13th" franchise has had in recent years. Mired for years in a complicated lawsuit between original screenwriter Victor Miller and director Sean Cunningham, the legal proceedings effectively put an end to any thought of continuing the beloved slasher series for the last decade and a half. Still, one glimmer of hope for Jason Voorhees appreciators -- not that any of us would ever condone the serial killer's actions, of course -- has been the development of a new prequel series titled "Crystal Lake," with Fuller attached as the...
