Dave Chappelle is saying it like it is. The comedian opened up on his stand on the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. In one of his recent Boston comedy tour stops, Dave allegedly criticised Israel’s bombing of Gaza.

The comedian first condemned the October 7 attack on music festival goers in Israel by Hamas militants and then went on to condemn Israel’s retaliation on civilians in Gaza resulting in the death of 1000s of innocent citizens. During his comedy show, he reportedly criticised Israel’s bombing of Gaza and accused the United States of aiding the slaughter of innocent people.

Those in attendance said Chappelle’s comments on the Israel-Hamas war came after he said that he didn’t think students should lose their job offers for expressing their support for Palestinians. This led to a lot of people in the audience asking for him to “shut up”. The comedian then allegedly went on to slam the Israeli government for cutting off water and other essential items to Gaza, in addition to the loss of lives.&nbsp;

While some in the audience applauded him for being honest and supporting humanity, there were others who wanted him to speak on behalf of Israelis too.&nbsp;

Dave Chappelle speaks in support of Gaza amid Israel's constant bombing

If you’re too eager to watch a James Bond film, you’ll have to wait a bit more. The James Bond producers have confirmed that there is a long way to go before they will be ready to make another film without Daniel Craig. The world’s most famous spy agent, 007 will need an overhauling after Craig’s exit. In a recent interview, franchise producer Barbara Broccoli said that executives “haven’t even begun” modernising the franchise.

She added that there is a “big road ahead” before the James Bond character is “reinvented for the next chapter.”

Adding a little note of nostalgia, Broccoli added that Daniel Craig brought a lot of character to the role. Daniel Craig retired from the role of James Bond in 2021 after the release of No Time to Die. She said, “Daniel [Craig] gave us the ability to mine the emotional life of the character … and also the world was ready for it.”

As for the character itself, Broccoli is sure that James Bond exists as a product of the times. “I go back to ‘GoldenEye’ when everyone was saying, ‘The cold war is over, the wall is over, Bond is dead, no need for Bond, the whole world’s at peace and now there’s no villains’ — and boy was that wrong!” Broccoli said.&nbsp;

When asked if they have James Bond TV spin-offs in mind, the franchise producer said, “Our focus is making the feature films. When we get going on a Bond movie it takes our full attention for three or four years so that’s our focus. We make the Bond movies for the big theatrical screen and everything about the Bond movies is for audiences to see around the world on that format, so we’ve not wanted to do television.”

Emily Blunt is apologising for a 2012 episode when she called a waiter “enormous”. Unhappy with herself, A Quiet Place actress is “appalled” at how she appeared on the UK’s Jonathan Ross Show and called a person “enormous”. This was when she was promoting her role in Rian Johnson’s Looper.&nbsp;

Emily Blunt apologises for a hurtful statement she made in 2012

Taylor Swift continues to reign at the box office with her concert film The Eras Tour even as Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon released last weekend in the US. The Scorsese film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone started off on a good note but couldn’t topple The Eras Tour from its number 1 position at the box office.&nbsp;

But while Killers of the Flower Moon has perched itself on the second position, it is still a good start for a Scorsese since 2010’s Shutter Island ($41 million debut) and the third-best of his career following 2006’s The Departed ($26.9 million debut). Killers of the Flower Moon has collected $23 million from 3,628 North American theatres over the weekend. Its global collection sits at a total of $44 million.

Killers of the Flower Moon has been adapted from David Grann’s 2017 novel. The film tells the story of a period when mysterious murders took place after major oil deposits were discovered on the Osage nation’s land in the early 1920s.

The Martin Scorsese film is currently running in theatres in the US and will release elsewhere in a couple of days. Post its worldwide theatrical release, the film will then stream on Apple TV+.&nbsp;

As for Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour, the concert film remains in first place with $31 million. It’s the only concert film in history to repeat No. 1 for two consecutive weekends, and it’s the first to reach $100 million at the domestic box office.

Killers of the Flower Moon has an impressive start, Taylor Swift's concert film still no 1

Christopher Nolan is a fan of Taylor Swift’s strategy as she became one of the most successful artists ever with her concert film, The Eras Tour, becoming a box office success worldwide. On how she managed to bypass other films and retain her ground at the box office, Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan gave her a shoutout. During a recent event in New York in which Nolan was interviewed by author Kai Bird, he spoke about the success Taylor Swift has carved for herself. It was Kai Bird’s book Prometheus that Nolan adapted into Oppenheimer and made the highest-grossing biopic in film history with $942 million at the box office worldwide.

<h2>Nolan is a fan of Taylor Swift's strategy</h2>

While Oppenheimer is super successful, Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour also opened in theatres and grossed $92.8 million in North America and $123.5 million globally, easily the biggest debut ever for a concert film. Praising Taylor Swift’s strategy, Christopher Nolan said, “Taylor Swift is about to show the studios, because her concert film is not being distributed by the studios, it’s being distributed by a theater owner, AMC, and it’s going to make an enormous amount of money. And this is the thing, [theatrical exhibition is] a format and a way of seeing things and sharing stories, or sharing experiences, that’s incredibly valuable. And if [the studios] don’t want it, somebody else will. So that’s just the truth of it.”

<h2>How did Taylor Swift do it?</h2>

The Eras Tour is self-produced by Taylor Swift as she worked out a deal with AMC Theatres in which she gets to take home about 57% of ticket sales, with theatres keeping the remaining revenues and AMC taking a small distribution fee. The film isn’t exclusive to AMC venues.

Nolan also said, “Any time a film succeeds that wasn’t expected to succeed, it’s an encouraging thing for Hollywood and it’s encouraging for filmmakers. There’s a tension in Hollywood between the familiar and what is predicted to make money, that’s the meat and potatoes of how the studios stay in business, and the desire among audiences for something new, something fresh.”

“Any time a film that isn’t expected to succeed, and we vastly exceeded our highest expectations for the project, it’s encouraging for the studios and the filmmakers,” Nolan added. “That tension, that reality… between commerce and art, that formula never changes in Hollywood.”

Christopher Nolan praises Taylor Swift's strategy to skip studios for ‘Eras Tour’ release

SAG-AFTRA knows how to keep everything under check during festivities as the strike continues. With artists under the SAG-AFTRA union continuing to be on strike, the organisation has made clear that there is no exception even during the holiday season. No actors are allowed to dress up as characters from their favourite films for Halloween that come under studios, against whom they are on the picket line.&nbsp;

<h2>SAG-AFTRA advices actors to not break spirit of strike</h2>

Advising members on how they can celebrate the spirit of Halloween without breaking the momentum of the strike, the SAG-AFTRA website detailed that members should avoid dressing up as characters from struck series and movies and instead “choose costumes inspired by generalised characters and figures (ghost, zombie, spider, etc.).”

The guild also suggests actors “don’t post photos of costumes inspired by struck content to social media,” so as to not give the studios any additional publicity. Meanwhile, SAG-AFTRA is currently fighting for a better contract with the AMPTP, and the striking actors are prohibited from doing press for struck shows and films.

There is however some respite as projects under an interim agreement with SAG-AFTRA are also presumably in bounds, which means members can safely dress up as the Jacob Elordi Elvis (from A24’s strike-proof Priscilla) but not Austin Butler’s King of Rock n’ Roll from Warner Bros.’ movie.&nbsp;

SAG-AFTRA and the studios have been in negotiations for some time now. As their latest round of talks failed, the union posted a message that read: “Let’s use our collective power to send a loud and clear message to our struck employers that we will not promote their content without a fair contract!”

No Barbie or Iron Man this Halloween: SAG-AFTRA tells actors to dress up like generic characters

Danny Elfman has been named by yet another woman in an alleged sexual harassment case. After the first case went public, a second woman has come forward with her claims of sexual harassment, much like the first one that was revealed in July. The woman remains anonymous and is named Jane Doe XX in the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.&nbsp;

In the new lawsuit, Jane Doe XX alleges that Danny Elfman harassed her during a period from 1997 to 2002. It all started when she was just a 21-year-old film student and he was a successful Hollywood composer. Danny Elfman is best known for his work in Edward Scissorhands among other titles.&nbsp;

Post the lawsuit was filed, a spokesperson for Danny said, “The allegations of misconduct made against Mr. Elfman are baseless and absurd. His legal team is assessing all options and he will vigorously defend these claims in court.”

<h2>What is the lawsuit about?</h2>

Reportedly, the woman and Danny Elfman had a mentor-protegé relationship to begin with. After a certain time of knowing one another, she claims that Danny would strip naked and expose himself during their meetings. Early in the relationship, she was visiting him at the Mercer Hotel in New York. According to the suit, he took off all his clothes and stood naked in front of the window. She alleges that he then coerced her into doing the same thing.

She felt uncomfortable and quickly put her clothes back on, according to the suit. The next time they saw each other, he got naked again and allegedly insisted that she watch him take a bath. Over the course of the next five years, this became a regular occurrence, the suit states.

Danny Elfman would remove his clothing “until he was completely nude, and walked around nude in front of Plaintiff, exposing his genitals. Defendant Elfman expressed to Plaintiff that this was the only way he could work, be creative and successful.” According to the complaint, she felt she could not say anything about this because she was lucky to be in the position she was in.

This continued and Danny would sleep naked under covers while the woman would sleep with her clothes on above the covers. This happened about 40 times up until the time she felt ashamed. In 2002, Danny revealed to her, “Every time you have ever slept next to me, I would masturbate next to you.” This ended their relationship as the woman revealed that she experienced “shock, humiliation and shame.” She said she later revealed the situation to others in Danny Elfman’s circle but was told there was nothing she could do because of “who he is.”

<h2>This is when Jane Doe XX thought of reporting</h2>

In the lawsuit, Jane Doe XX reveals that she decided to come forward after reading that Nomi Abadi, a pianist and composer, levelled similar allegations against Elfman for his conduct in 2015 and 2016. Abadi obtained a $830,000 settlement but sued Danny Elfman earlier this year for failing to pay the full amount. Meanwhile, Elfman has denied Abadi’s claims, saying the relationship was platonic and that their limited interactions were “fully consensual.”

Vishal Bhardwaj’s latest feature, Khufiya, a thriller espionage drama starring Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Ali Fazal in leading roles, is currently streaming on Netflix. The film is based on Amar Bhushan's espionage novel Escape to Nowhere&nbsp;and tells the story of a woman who ties up with Indian intelligence to get back at her husband who flees with her son after selling the country’s top secrets to the CIA.&nbsp;

In a story that is both intriguing and keeps you guessing till the end, actor Alexx O’ Nell plays the character Dr. David White, a psychiatrist in the film who is at loggerheads with Tabu’s character at first, only to get on board to help the Indian intelligence agent get what she desires. Working with Tabu for the third time, first in Cheeni Kum and then in Urumi, Alexx is happy that he finally got to share the screen with Tabu and take into the artistry of her acting.&nbsp;

Speaking to WION, Alexx O'Nell, the American actor-cum-musician opened up about making a career in films, his passion for music, and what’s keeping him busy these days. Excerpts:&nbsp;

WION: We recently saw you in Khufiya, another one of your stellar performances. How are you taking in all the appreciation?&nbsp;

Alexx: Honestly, I have been traveling constantly and shooting for my upcoming films including L2E, Captain Miller, Pokhirajer Dim, and others, deep in the interiors of Bihar as well as the Himalayas and elsewhere, so I haven't really had much of an opportunity, or strong enough signal, to read reviews as much as I usually would. Nevertheless, I have been receiving seemingly endless messages from friends and well-wishers appreciating my performance in Khufiya, and the film as a whole.

<h2>Working with Vishal Bhardwaj and such a stellar cast in Khufiya</h2>

WION: How did you prep for the role?&nbsp;

Alexx: Like many characters in Khufiya, Dr. White is a spy. And though some might consider him negative, I would argue that, just like Tabu's KM who works for R&amp;AW, Dr. White is simply doing his patriotic and professional duty for his intelligence agency, the CIA. With that said, he is not one-dimensional. Vishal Ji's take on the spy thriller presents undercover agents in, what I believe is, a rather realistic way. Each of them has a believable cover, including a family and a profession, and Dr. White is no exception.&nbsp;

WION: This isn’t your first time working with Tabu. What can you tell us about your experience working with Tabu, Ali Fazal, and Wamiq Gabbi – the three actors you have most screentime with? &nbsp;

Alexx: Unfortunately, while Wamiqa and I are sometimes in the same frame, I don't think our characters exchanged a single word… Nevertheless, when I saw her performance in the final edit I was absolutely stunned by her magical screen presence.

Ali was a joy to work with. Khufiya was the first time we'd worked together and I hope not the last. Beyond being a wonderful scene partner, he's also an incredibly friendly guy.

My interaction with Tabu was a long time coming. We were credited together in two films previously, Cheeni Kum and Urumi, but finally, on this third try, I got my long-awaited chance to work in a frame with this phenomenal performer. Of all my interactions on Khufiya, I most fondly remember working with Vishal Ji and Tabu on the climax scene in which Dr. White and KM, at last, come face-to-face. What was on the page, and what you eventually see on the screen, are very very different, and it was truly a privilege to collaborate with these two incredible artists on making that happen.

<h2>54 IMDb credits and no stereotype?</h2>

WION: Do you think that you have been stereotyped in films because you look a certain way and if you ever get similar kinds of roles?&nbsp;

Alexx: I recently sat with a journalist and, in response to a similar question, went one by one through each of my 54 IMDb credits. It was a sort of audit of the types of films and series I've done over the past 15 years and the kinds of roles that I've played. It won't come as much of a surprise that all of my characters were male, and all of them were white, but by and large that is where their similarities ended.

Just looking at the last five years or so I have played an American Sanskrit musician and student of the Bhagavad Gita in Aarya, an American journalist in Roohi, an American plane crash survivor in Robindronath Ekhane Kawkhono Khete Aashenni, a British military man and footballer in Golondaaj, an American backpacker in Sweet Kaaram Coffee, and an American psychiatrist and spy in Khufiya.

So, if the stereotype is British, only 1 of my last 6 has been so. If the stereotype is historical/ colonial, again, 1 in the last 6. If the stereotype is 'negative', I would say 1, but you could argue for 2 in the last 6.

To me, more important even than the roles I've played and how similar or different they may have been, is the incredible journey that they represent. In these projects alone, I shared scenes with such amazing actors like Rajkummar Rao, Varun Sharma, Janhvi Kapoor, Sushmita Sen, Badhon, Dev Adhikari, Madhoo, Ali Fazal, and Tabu! I collaborated with some of the finest directors in the world including Ram Madhvani, Hardik Mehta, Srijit Mukherjee, Dhrubo Banerjee, and Vishal Bhardwaj! And, I was an integral part of telling stories enjoyed by millions and millions of people! As an actor, what else could I even ask for, but that this adventure continue?

<h2>Following his passion for&nbsp;music</h2>

WION: What can you tell us about your career in music?&nbsp;

Alexx: I suppose my journey really began when I was very young - I would dig through my mom's old '45 records of bands like The Beatles, Peter Paul &amp; Mary, and Simon &amp; Garfunkel, and I fell in love with hits from the 60s and 70s. Around the age of 14, I began teaching myself how to play the guitar. I quickly began using the chords and I learned to make up my own progressions, melodies, and lyrics, and started recording my first songs on a tape deck.

While I experimented with some digital recording software, it took me a very long time to figure out how music production works, and I eventually realised I needed to find a producer to help me. Thus, I only began professionally recording in 2017 or 2018 when I met well-known Mumbai-based producer Bharat Goel. Finally, the songs were good, and I even signed a record deal with a major music label, but I kept delaying the release of my first album.

Then the pandemic hit, my film and series shoots were postponed indefinitely, the music label and I parted ways and I had my music back, and I had this intense feeling that it was 'now or never'. It was on 16 April 2020 that my debut single “Still On My Mind” was finally out on all streaming platforms worldwide, with the music video featuring myself and actress Shama Sikander on my Official Artist Channel.&nbsp;

This continued and after I released my third single and music video, “Twenty Days” in 2021, I decided to look back on my musical journey so far. To be honest, it just wasn't making the kind of impact I had expected. Millions of people enjoy my films and series, I just couldn't understand why they weren't interested in my songs. I concluded that while I still wanted to make my music available to the Indian market via domestic platforms, I also wanted to focus on an English-speaking region where my music might be more widely appreciated.

Over the years, I had begun spending more and more time in South Africa, mainly for paragliding, scuba diving, and riding motorcycles, and decided to begin producing my music with David Pearce and DJ Cosher whom I had met there. The first song resulting from this collaboration was “These Four Walls”, out on 14th July 2023.&nbsp;

WION: You recently released an acoustic version of your single “These Four Walls”. Can you tell us about the creative process behind this?

Alexx: My process of creating music always begins acoustically. I sit alone with an acoustic guitar, focus on a moment, and strum chords and hum melodies until something strikes me as beautiful enough to keep repeating. Usually, I begin with the chorus and work backward to the verses. It's a process that hasn't really changed for as long as I've been composing - only the experiences that I write about have developed over time.&nbsp;

So, the first iteration of the song is always just a guitar and my voice and, in that sense, the acoustic version of “These Four Walls” which at its most complex features a kick drum, a cello, two guitars, and vocals, is much closer to how the song originally sounded than the electro-pop main release. It was recorded here in India with my friend, the producer Debarpito Saha who, coincidentally, also did the music for Khufiya.

“These Four Walls - Acoustic” like all of my music, is available not only on international platforms like Spotify and Amazon, but also the services most popular in India like Hungama, Gaana, Saavn, etc.

WION: &nbsp;What next?

Alexx: I'm incredibly fortunate to be able to say that both as a musician and as an actor there is quite a lot happening.

I have begun work on L2: Empuraan with Prithviraj and Mohanlal, and at the moment I'm in Ladakh shooting for the same film. Alongside L2 I have about a dozen projects that are in various stages of completion. Some of the most exciting are Dharmatic’s feature film Ae Watan Mere Watan in which I star alongside Sarah Ali Khan, the Amazon Original Series Bak Bak with Divya Dutta, and the Ananth Mahadevan Film Phule in which I worked with Pratik Gandhi and Patralekha, to name just a few. I'm incredibly excited for 2024.&nbsp;

On the music front, I'll be headed to Cape Town in November to put the finishing touches on my 6th single and music video entitled “Pride”. I'm looking forward to sharing more about that soon, and hopefully releasing it before the end of the year.

Interview: Khufiya actor Alexx O'Nell on balancing film career in India and making music along the journey

As Raj Kundra prepares to enter the film world, he dropped a bomb while promoting his debut film. Raj Kundra is a successful businessman and actress Shilpa Shetty’s husband.&nbsp;

He sent the internet into shockwaves after he revealed that Shilpa and him had separated. Without mentioning a context, he wrote on X, “We have separated and kindly request you to give us time during this difficult period.” While some wondered how this has happened, others think that this is nothing but just a marketing gimmick.&nbsp;

<h2>Internet reacts to Raj Kundra's post</h2>

While many think that this is purely for promotion's sake, Raj Kundra shared a screenshot of the same post on his Instagram. Many users of the photo-sharing app wrote that they were quite sad about this development if it meant that Shilpa and Raj were not together.&nbsp;

Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra are no more together? Latter drops a hint

Britney Spears’ new memoir The Woman in Me has caught everyone’s attention. A couple of days back, Britney revealed that she got <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-britney-spears-aborted-baby-with-justin-timberlake-because-he-didnt-want-to-be-a-father-648206">pregnant with Justin Timberlake</a> when the two started dating and had to abort the child since he wasn’t ready to be a father. Now, the pop star writes that Justin’s 2002 music video “Cry Me A River” turned her into a villain. In her memoir, she writes that the song “Cry Me A River” (which was a massive hit back then) turned her into a “harlot” as people thought it was about her and that she had broken his heart by cheating on him.&nbsp;

The music video featured Justin Timberlake crying over his girlfriend who cheats on him. The song was the second single from Justin’s solo album Justified. The song was reportedly inspired by his relationship and breakup with Britney Spears.

The two pop icons started dating in 1999 when Britney Spears was 17 years old and Justin Timberlake was 18. The two separated in 2002. Soon after the song was released, Britney wrote, that the mainstream media pinned her as the unfaithful girlfriend in the video that looked strikingly similar to her.&nbsp;

In her memoir, Spears describes the video as “a woman who looks like me cheats on him and he wanders around sad in the rain.” She writes that the media attention because of the music video’s release turned her into a “harlot who’d broken the heart of America’s golden boy,” when in reality she was “comatose in Louisiana” nursing a broken heart and Timberlake was “happily running around Hollywood.” Also read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-britney-spears-says-justin-timberlake-cheated-on-her-with-another-celebrity-648698">Britney Spears says Justin Timberlake cheated on her with 'another celebrity'</a>

Britney Spears reveals Justin Timberlake's 'Cry Me A River' video turned her into villain who broke his heart

Looks like the Hollywood actors are missing returning to work as a group of A-listers is adding pressure on SAG-AFTRA leadership to resolve the actors' strike. The strike has been on for 98 days now. This group of A-listers from Hollywood includes George Clooney, Tyler Perry, Scarlett Johansson, and others. The stars were part of a Zoom meeting that they held with the president of SAG-AFTRA, Fran Drescher and Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, the union’s executive director.

This meeting was initially just called one as being “supportive” of the strike. The actors, however, also nudged the organisation to solve all issues so that people could go back to work and resume production of all things that have come to a standstill. The actors registered significant discontent within the guild that talks have broken down and are looking for a path to restart negotiations and end the strike.

Reports suggest that this group of actors which also includes Emma Stone and Ben Affleck, have gone one step ahead and given a “presentation” to Drescher and Crabtree-Ireland. The leaders listened and were expected to meet with the SAG-AFTRA Negotiating Committee on Wednesday afternoon before delivering a response.

As reports started surfacing that the actors were nudging the SAG-AFTRA union to resolve their issues, the union issued a statement. “We meet with members of all profiles every day and we won’t be commenting on those private conversations,” the union said.&nbsp;

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers suspended talks on October 11, after declaring that the two sides were too far apart and that continued negotiations at that point would not be productive. The biggest roadblock is SAG-AFTRA’s demand for a new form of streaming residual, which would come on top of the residuals that actors already earn on streaming shows.

Looks like the Hollywood actors are missing returning to work as a group of A-listers is adding pressure on SAG-AFTRA leadership to resolve the actors' strike. The strike has been on for 98 days now.

Looks like the Hollywood actors are missing returning to work as a group of A-listers is adding pressure on SAG-AFTRA leadership to resolve the actors' strike. The strike has been on for 98 days now. This group of A-listers from Hollywood includes George Clooney, Tyler Perry, Scarlett Johansson, and others. The stars were part of a Zoom meeting that they held with the president of SAG-AFTRA, Fran Drescher and Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, the union’s executive director. This meeting was initially just called one as being “supportive” of the strike. The actors, however, also nudged the organisation to solve all issues so that people could go back to work and resume production of all things that have come to a standstill. The actors registered significant discontent within the guild that talks have broken down and are looking for a path to restart negotiations and end the strike. Reports suggest that this group of actors which also includes Emma Stone and Ben Affleck, have gone one step ahead and given a “presentation” to Drescher and Crabtree-Ireland. The leaders listened and were expected to meet with the SAG-AFTRA Negotiating Committee on Wednesday afternoon before delivering a response.
