The war of words continues between Actors’ Equity and a group of Los Angeles-based actors and theater owners opposed to the union’s plan to force small playhouses to pay their actors minimum wage. In a recent email to members, the union said the minimum wage opponents have “openly threatened Equity staff and councilors and blacklisted members of their own community for speaking on behalf of fair pay.” Opponents say that forcing 99-seat theaters in L.A. to pay minimum wage will force many of them out of business, or to go non-union. The union, however, scoffed at that notion, telling members it’s just part of a “campaign of misinformation and propaganda.” “This is a stunning assault by Equity on its own membership,” said Frances Fisher , one of the leaders of the group opposed to Equity’s plan. “It’s really too bad my union has chosen this scorched-earth approach. Publicly discrediting your own membership because they have a legitimate disagreement with you is just poor … [Read more...] about Actors’ Equity Leaders Say They’ve Been “Threatened” By 99-Seat Plan Opponents

The 25 Best True-Crime Podcasts of All Time
Ten years ago, most people hadn’t even heard of a podcast. Now, they’re an integral part of the media landscape, and none more so than those about true crime . To rank the best, we polled true-crime aficionados about their favorite shows, then sifted through the top choices. Whether they cover a new case each episode or present a story over the course of a season, these picks each shaped the genre in their own way. Some are the results of deep investigative journalism; others are by amateur sleuths trying to help families find answers. Some focus on bringing publicity to cold cases in underrepresented communities, and some changed the way we think about crime storytelling altogether. Perhaps equally important, they’re all great listening, promising the kind of captivating intrigue that continues to draw generation after generation to true crime: tragedy, mystery, a search for answers, and always the hunger for justice. 25. CounterClock Fans of procedurals will bond with … [Read more...] about The 25 Best True-Crime Podcasts of All Time
Kinzinger: Hutchinson’s Bombshell Testimony Is ‘Inspiring’ Others to Come Forward
According to Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), former Mark Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson ’s devastating testimony to the Jan. 6 committee this week — where she revealed the inner workings of the Trump White House in the lead up to and during the Capitol attack — has inspired other witnesses to come forward. Host Dana Bash interviewed Kinzinger on CNN’s State of the Union and asked: “Since Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony, have new witnesses come forward to want to speak up?” “Yes. I don’t want to get into who or any of those details… She’s been inspiring for a lot of people,” Kinzinger said. “This happens every day. Every day, we get new people that come forward and say, ‘Hey, I didn’t think maybe this piece of the story that I knew was important, but now that you guys are talking — like, I do see [how] this plays in here.'” "Every day we get new people that come forward" – @RepKinzinger says the January 6 committee expects to hear from new witnesses after Cassidy … [Read more...] about Kinzinger: Hutchinson’s Bombshell Testimony Is ‘Inspiring’ Others to Come Forward
Kerry Fights Back
“I’m going straight to the White House,” John Kerry says. “I’m thrilled with where the campaign is right now.” Just 90 minutes earlier, on this warm afternoon in late September, he stood on an outdoor stage at the University of Pennsylvania campus in downtown Philadelphia and gazed out onto a sea of 20,000 supporters. The school had hosted only one other rally this big in recent memory – when Bill Clinton came through on his re-election tour in 1996. It’s heady stuff when a first-time presidential candidate draws crowds comparable in size to those of a popular sitting president. “I feel as if we have finally gotten the American people and the press simultaneously focused on the real issues,” he says. “Things I’ve been talking about for two years. George Bush has made catastrophic mistakes in Iraq, catastrophic mistakes in foreign policy. He’s shown bad judgment, made bad choices about how to proceed in a war on terror. I think he’s also out of touch with the American people on what … [Read more...] about Kerry Fights Back
LaVar Ball on Controversy, Kobe Bryant, Building NBA Family Dynasty
LaVar Ball’s house is the only one in his Chino Hills subdivision with a black garage door. Out back, it’s the only one with three different basketball hoops and a shooting machine. Two of them are professional and the third, a gift, is set up over the pool so his kids can jump off and practice dunking. Of course, that’s not the only thing that makes it remarkable. Much like the wisdom handed down to multiple generations of young people who were shot down for dates, it’s what’s inside that counts. And what’s inside is the outspoken scion of the premiere young hoops family in America. Ball’s sons, Lonzo, LaMelo and LiAngelo are all to varying degrees prep phenomena. All three starred first for Ball’s Big Ballers AAU team, then Chino Hills High, and will all at one point pass through UCLA. Lonzo is the first one to make his way into the NBA , presumably to the Lakers with the second pick in Thursday’s draft. Don’t tell LaVar Ball there’s a chance he might not; Ball will brook no … [Read more...] about LaVar Ball on Controversy, Kobe Bryant, Building NBA Family Dynasty
College Basketball Star Lonzo Ball’s Hollywood Dreams Could Come True
The Los Angeles Lakers had a lot riding on the 2017 NBA Draft Lottery. Even though they had the third worst record in the NBA this season – only the Phoenix Suns (24-58) and Brooklyn Nets (20-62) finished below them in the standings – there was a 53.1 percent chance that their pick would fall out of the top three in the upcoming draft. If that was the case, their pick would’ve gone to the Philadelphia 76ers as a result of the Steve Nash trade the Lakers made with the Suns in 2012, which would’ve made their current rebuild a whole lot harder. Fortunately for the Lakers, their pick ended up being No. 2 – start the conspiracy theories ! – meaning they get to keep their pick in the 2017 NBA Draft and select one of the brightest stars in college basketball. All signs point towards the Boston Celtics, who have the first pick despite finishing the season with the best record in the Eastern Conference, drafting Markelle Fultz, so the Lakers will have an opportunity to draft one of … [Read more...] about College Basketball Star Lonzo Ball’s Hollywood Dreams Could Come True

Varun went on to add that he simply had a blast working with Anil Kapoor. "Even during promotions, he took the entire cast for a dinner.

Neil was quoted as saying, "There are various sub-genres, like psychological thrillers, political thrillers, horror thrillers and so on. Why aren't we exploring those?
