It’s unclear whether Michael Avenatti is making progress convincing a jury he was justified in taking his client Stormy Daniels ’ book payments and lying to her about their whereabouts, but everyone in the courtroom Friday learned a lot about Daniel’s possible future show, Spooky Babes. Avenatti has pleaded not guilty to charges of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges. He is representing himself, which allows him to cross-examine prosecution witnesses. In his attempt to call Daniels’ credibility in question, Avenatti set her up to basically give a press conference on the ghost-hunting TV show that she’s been trying for two years to get off the ground. The spooky circumstances allegedly began in the spring of 2019, shortly after Daniels’ and Avenatti’s working relationship fell apart because, she testified, she discovered his alleged lies and the theft of her book payments. Daniels confirmed on the stand that around that time, the “unexplainable experiences” … [Read more...] about Stormy Daniels Details ‘Haunted Dolls,’ ‘Portals,’ and ‘Dark Forces’ in Testimony to Michael Avenatti

Young, who advocates COVID-19 safety and prevention, had earlier this week protested the podcast of controversial US podcaster Joe Rogan for spreading misinformation about COVID. In a since-deleted letter to his manager and record label that was published on his website, Young had stated, "You can have Rogan or Young. Not both." His original statement drew attention to an issue about which little is known: disinformation on podcast streaming platforms such as Spotify. Young accused the streaming service of spreading "false information about vaccines - potentially resulting in the death of those who believe this … [Read more...] about Misinformation In Podcasts: Spotify Removes Neil Young’s Music After Singer’s Protest

, Adrien Brody passion project Clean , Cannes winner Compartment No. 9 , Danish upscale restaurant drama A Taste of Hunger and Woody Allen’s latest Rifkin’s Festival hit theatres crowded by Oscar contenders in a specialty market consumed by awards season (and as a major storm looks set to pummel the Northeast). There’s more new content than the market has seen in many weeks, although these can be hard frames for indie distributors to find available screens. ( Belfast , for instance, which did well this week as the DGA, PGA, WGA and ACE unveiled nominations, is adding 130 runs, as per Focus Features. Nightmare Alley is back up to 1,100 screens as Searchlight Pictures rolls out the black-and-white version.) But it’s easier now than it will be after Feb. 8 and a crush of actual Oscar nominees, said one distribution executive. “We’re going in, trying to get a couple of weeks, get some space.” Sony’s move to push the release of Morbius from today to April 1 … [Read more...] about ‘GameStop: Rise Of The Players’ Brings The Meme Stock Era To Theaters – Specialty Preview

Bahrani’s feature-length documentary debut, is an exploration of the life and legacy of Richard Davis, the charming and brash inventor of the modern-day bulletproof vest who shot himself 192 times to prove his product worked.
