Several prominent figures within the entertainment industry are protesting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Texas. Pedro Pascal, Mark Ruffalo, Madonna, and others have added their names to a widely circulated Change.org petition.
The folks at Imagineering now have a story they’re telling, and we all know they loudly proclaim that it’s all about the story, right? This one’s a real doozy. They claim draining the Rivers (now swamps) Of America and removing as much Americana as they can from Frontierland at the Magic Kingdom is part of “reimagining” and helping guests discover and create “their own folklore.” (And the unstated subtext, as with all such pronouncements from Disney management in the past 10 years or so is—“…and if YOU disagree, you’re an ikky, yukky doodoohead, so there!”)
What started as a seemingly innocuous advertising campaign for American Eagle’s jeans line has ballooned into a national debate touching on politics, culture, and cancel culture. Actress Sydney Sweeney, known for her roles in Euphoria and Anyone But You, became the face of the brand’s latest push, but a clever wordplay in the ads sparked accusations of promoting prejudice and problematic issues. The controversy escalated dramatically when the White House under President Donald Trump weighed in, defending the Sydney Sweeney ad and lambasting critics.

Jimmy Kimmel is being called out for allegedly gaslighting the American public after delivering a fiery monologue downplaying the chaos erupting across Los Angeles this week in what is being called by many the LA Riots. In a show filmed just blocks from looted storefronts and burning cars, the late-night host dismissed the reports of unrest as nothing more than political theater orchestrated by President Donald Trump and cable news outlets.
As Los Angeles endures another wave of violent unrest, actor Mark Ruffalo is under fire for describing these LA Riots as “peaceful civil disobedience” and urging his followers to join similar protests in their own cities.
As June kicks off across the United States, many Americans have noticed something surprising: corporate social media accounts have remained largely silent about PRIDE Month 2025. In contrast to prior years—where rainbow banners, themed logos, and celebratory messages appeared en masse on June 1—many major brands have yet to make any public acknowledgment of the monthlong observance.
The State of California is opening an investigation into Paramount's efforts to settle a $20 billion lawsuit with President Trump, but the reason for it may have little to do with actual fact-finding. Rather, politicians could be looking for a way to convince Skydance...
Paramount Global is reportedly preparing to offer a settlement over President Donald Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit against CBS News, signaling a significant shift as mediation between the two parties officially begins.

It’s not loud. It’s not dramatic. But it’s real: Hollywood is quietly collapsing. For all the glitz, premieres, and red carpets that still dot Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles—the beating heart of the American entertainment industry—is bleeding out in silence. Beneath...
