After a sexual assault allegation against Elgort surfaced on social media in June 2020, Zegler admitted her breakout role in “West Side Story” became tainted. “I was sitting there having just turned 19, on the precipice of what was promised to be the biggest moment in my life, and was being held accountable [by the public] for accusations that not only had nothing to do with me but were made about a situation that was said to have occurred [five] years prior to when I had met and worked with this person,” Zegler explained to Elle in a May cover story....

Scott’s cinematographer Dariusz Wolski recently sat down with The Film Stage to tease the upcoming movies. Of “House of Gucci” he said, “This film, because it’s high fashion ’80s and ’90s, it’s going to be a little different. I’m still trying to find a look for it. The ‘80s weren’t a particularly good-looking period. The fashion world or these fashion shows, they were not that great looking. You look at the big coats and stuff and [go] hmm… So it’s a bit of a kitschy, funny, tragic tragedy — like a high-end soap opera....

Rihanna co-wrote ballad “Lift Me Up” alongside writer/director Ryan Coogler, Tems, and Oscar winner Ludwig Göransson as a tribute to late “Black Panther” actor Chadwick Boseman, who died in August 2020.

In an recent Television Academy FYC panel discussion, which you can watch below, the cast and crew from this season got together to discuss everything from best fashion moments to working in the midst of a pandemic. Moderated by Loni Love, the panel kicked off with Season 13 finalists Symone and Gottmik. Gottmik broke new ground on the series as the first trans man to participate on the show. “It feels so surreal,” Gottmik said....

“There was this debate of what do we do?” Baron Cohen said. “Do we go ahead with this scene? What happens if he has coronavirus? We concluded that it was worth the risk.” Giuliani attended the fake “Borat 2” interview thinking he was participating in a real documentary titled “Keeping America Alive.” The crew told Giuliani the documentary was about Trump’s efforts to defeat the pandemic, and the “Borat 2” team even cooked up a sizzle real to make the fake project seem more real (the sizzle’s tagline read: “Where Trump saw an invisible enemy, the Democrats saw an invisible friend”)....

Now, there are no half measures. It’s kill or be killed. The addition of Bautista eventually proves its worth. His introductory scene — which canvasses his hulking frame, his face a long-bearded scowl — makes it very clear that he’s beastly and to be utterly feared. If the season’s key art, featuring a literal tête-à-tête of both bad-tempered Momoa and Bautista, doesn’t make it clear, driving the main plot is a dispute between the two brothers....

As The New York Times reports: “‘Escape’ grew out of a challenge the duo set for themselves to try and make people laugh without using dialogue. In ‘Pineapple Express,’ Rogen explained, ‘the scenes people remember are the fights, the foot through the windshield and, like, with “Neighbors,” you think of the airbags’ — moments, that is, of outsize physical comedy. ‘We were like, Why are those just the supporting things?
