Ranaut through her counsel Birendra Saraf said that she would file for regularisation before the BMC in connection with the structure. The actress had made a plea against the civil court order, which had dismissed her petition against the BMC notice from 2018. Kangana's appeal to withdraw was accepted by a single judge bench of Justice Prithviraj K Chavan on Wednesday (February 10). The court has told the civic body (BMC) to not take any coercive action till the application of regularisation is considered and decided.

White House To Withdraw Nomination Of Neera Tanden To Lead Office Of Management And Budget
Joe Biden ’s administration suffered its first major setback in securing confirmation of administration nominees, after Neera Tanden withdraw her nomination as the next director of the Office of Management and Budget . “I have accepted Neera Tanden’s request to withdraw her name from nomination for Director of the Office of Management and Budget,” Biden said in a statement. “I have the utmost respect for her record of accomplishment, her experience and her counsel, and I look forward to having her serve in a role in my Administration. She will bring valuable perspective and insight to our work.” It has been clear for some time that Tanden was unlikely to secure enough votes for confirmation amid Republican opposition, which largely focused on her past social media posts in which she at times blasted lawmakers in both parties. Although Democrats control the Senate, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) announced that he would be voting against her, all but sinking her chances. … [Read more...] about White House To Withdraw Nomination Of Neera Tanden To Lead Office Of Management And Budget

Sony Revamps Its Publishing Company as the Power of Songwriters Rises
The growth of streaming has brushed the dust off a historically overlooked sector in music: Publishing companies are no longer looked at as the awkward stepchildren of the industry. The fight for songwriters’ fair compensation and the now-undeniable popularity of catalog sales have put all eyes on publishers. So, it was inevitable that Sony Music Group would take a closer look at its publishing arm and give the sector a facelift that corresponds with the times. On Wednesday, the company representing artists like Cardi B, Lady Gaga, Kanye West, and Ed Sheeran announced that Sony/ATV had been renamed to Sony Music Publishing , and its mission had been “revitalized.” There’s also a new logo , which was designed to look like “an abstraction of sound waves — with resonance and vibrations that express infinitely expanding opportunities for songwriters” — according to a press release. This isn’t the first appearance of the Sony Music Publishing name. It only changed to Sony/ATV … [Read more...] about Sony Revamps Its Publishing Company as the Power of Songwriters Rises
Between ‘Hercules’ Set-Ups, Brett Ratner Becomes Media Mogul With Eye On China
Brett Ratner took a few minutes away from directing Dwayne Johnson in the MGM/Paramount film Hercules: The Thracian Wars to talk about being in the center of a herculean $450 million slate financing deal that RatPac-Dune Entertainment finally closed with Warner Bros . It is an arrangement that will cover as many as 75 of the biggest films made by Warner Bros and New Line for the next few years. Ratner tells me that this is a straight financing deal, but one that will allow and his RatPac-Dune partners James Packer and Steven Mnuchin to build library assets. It is just one piece of what could become a very interesting puzzle. Ratner said that Packer, son of the late media mogul Kerry Packer, got out of the media holdings that were his father’s preoccupation and instead has put his money in a number of ventures that include casinos in Macau. That whetted his appetite for investing in China’s fast-growing film business.
