Disney’s ongoing shift toward dismantling traditional family dynamics continues, now confirmed once again in its latest Marvel offering, Agatha All Along. Following months of speculation, showrunner Jac Schaeffer recently revealed at PaleyFest that Agatha’s son, Nicholas Scratch, was conceived by Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) and Rio Vidal (Aubrey Plaza), with no father involved.

Rachel Zegler wants you to believe she’s all about kindness and acceptance. In her recent Allure magazine interview, she spoke at length about how her portrayal of Snow White is meant to inspire a “new dawn of kindness and acceptance.” According to Zegler, movies like Disney’s Snow White can help fight division, teach audiences to reject anger, and promote unity.

Take, for example, the way Rachel Zegler treated actress Gina Carano.

CNN took another credibility hit this week after it seemingly ran defense for Kathleen Kennedy in what now appears to have been a blatant PR move, according to information shared by Puck’s Matt Belloni. The network published an article contradicting Puck’s report that Kennedy is planning her exit from Lucasfilm—citing a vague, anonymous “source close to the situation” who claimed there was “nothing there right now.”
Now, Belloni has exposed exactly who that source likely was—Kennedy’s personal publicist, Simon Halls.
The ongoing Kathleen Kennedy leaving Star Wars saga has taken an amusing turn as two Hollywood journalists, Puck’s Matt Belloni and Deadline’s Mike Fleming Jr., are now publicly feuding over the story of her rumored exit from Lucasfilm.

As he scrambled to pull them up, the actor’s shaky hands and panicked expression seemed to imply that he had “a bad feeling about this.” Don’t believe me? Check it out in the video below. Then watch it over and over again.
