Jimmy Kimmel is facing renewed backlash after joking that First Lady Melania Trump looked like an “expectant widow” shortly before another reported assassination attempt against President Trump. During a parody version of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the...
The Walt Disney Company appears ready to drop “Diversity Equity and Inclusion” in favor of “belonging.” After a tumultuous upheaval at the House of Mouse following the last presidential election, in which controversial programs like “Reimagine Tomorrow” were purged from the entertainment juggernaut, Disney is retooling employee outreach next week with a program all about “belonging” rather than DEI.
There are few discounts offered at Walt Disney World each year, so when one of them actually increases, it’s a big deal.
The Walt Disney Company’s new fiscal year has begun, and as we’ve seen in past years, this has meant price increases across the board. Everything from food and parking to hotel stays, Lightning Lane passes, park tickets, and annual passes have gone up in price.
One glaring exception, however, is the cost to renew your Walt Disney World Annual Pass if you’re already a member. Disney has long provided an incentive for current passholders to renew at the end of their yearly term in the form of a discount. This year, that renewal discount has actually increased.
U.K. Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) has issued a legal warning to the U.K. branches of Netflix, Disney, Amazon Studios, Apple and Warner Bros. Discovery that they may be in violation of the U.K.’s Equality Act. However, it’s not the actions of the CEOs that sparked the notice. Rather, it’s the talent.

As Bob Iger’s retirement looms, Disney’s board appears ready to repeat history — and not in a good way. CNBC reports the company is now considering a leadership structure that includes co-CEOs to oversee its future, with the leading candidates rumored to be Dana Walden and Josh D’Amaro. If true, it’s one of the most baffling corporate strategies Disney has floated in years.
In 2025, The Walt Disney Company is enduring what might go down as its darkest theatrical year in memory—accumulating a cascade of box-office disappointments that arguably outstrips any distributor in a single calendar year. In fact, Disney has likely broken the record for most financial failures at the box office in a single year… beating its own previous record in 2023!
In a staggering new report from Forbes journalist Caroline Reid, Disney has officially revealed that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker cost $593.7 million to produce—making it the third most expensive movie ever made. That number places it behind only The Force Awakens and Jurassic World: Dominion in the all-time rankings of cinematic spending.
When Variety publishes a major profile on a filmmaker, readers tend to notice not only what’s included — but what’s missing. In the case of Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, the two-time Oscar-winning director who was once announced to helm a new Star Wars movie centered on Daisy Ridley’s Rey, a major omission might be the biggest story of all.
Mark Hamill is warning Hollywood about the “terrifying” future of AI performers. In a new Variety interview, the Star Wars veteran blasted the rise of synthetic actors as “ghastly,” “ghoulish,” and “weird.”
