<p>Things seem to be going quite not in favour of Sex and the City actor Chris Noth who was recently accused of sexual assault and rape. After being dropped by his agency following the allegations, there’s bad news on the front of his tequila brand Ambhar. It was to be acquired by Entertainment Arts Research Inc. but the company is now thinking of not moving ahead with the deal.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The deal was reportedly worth $12 million and was agreed upon in August. It was due to be finalised last week.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a statement, EARI CEO, Bernard Rubin said, “At this point in time it doesn’t make sense for us to move forward with this deal in light of the claims, which must be taken with the utmost seriousness.”</p>

Chris Noth sexual assault case: Deal to sell tequila brand not moving forward

<p>Shortly after the release of the final installment of the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, film critic Caryn James pondered whether women were “just bored” when it came to Peter Jackson’s blockbuster films.</p>

<p>“Any movie so popular has to grab an audience across all lines of age and sex,” James wrote. “But both demographic and empirical evidence suggests that the trilogy is still primarily a boys’ toy.”</p>

<p>Whether women at that time felt enthralled or bored with these films, which began 20 years ago this month with “The Fellowship of the Ring,” isn’t for me to say. But I know that I, then a 13-year-old girl, and my 12-year-old sister, loved the story of Sam and Frodo and their quest to destroy the One Ring. And we weren’t alone.</p>

<p>“I was obsessed with the DVDs,” Karen Han, 29, a TV and film writer based in Los Angeles, said. “I think it was pretty much every holiday, I would watch all three movies in a day and do a marathon, and I would do that pretty much every year.”</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-spotted-kim-kardashian-and-pete-davidson-went-for-a-movie-date-after-latter-skipped-snl-episode-438318" hreflang="en">Spotted: Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson went for a movie date after latter skipped SNL episode</a></p>

<p>For a certain subset of millennial women, the “Lord of the Rings” film trilogy occupies the same role that “Star Wars” might for those who grew up from the late ’70s into the ’80s: It’s become a treasured part of the comfort-watch genre for women in their late 20s and 30s.</p>

<p>In the years after the films came out, rewatching them felt like a ritual only my sister and I observed. (My parents saw them with us in theaters, then never watched them again.) Through college, I met the occasional “Lord of the Rings” girl — a few friends in graduate school, and strangers on drunken nights out. And, of course, there were the memes and the accompanying meme accounts.</p>

<p>Then a few years ago, I began to notice the articles on The Cut and elsewhere. “What of the Boromir Woman?” “I’m Always Horny for Sauron.” “The Greatest Christmas Movie Is ‘The Lord of the Rings.’”</p>

<p>“We all loved ‘Lord of the Rings,’” said Gabriella Paiella, 32, a culture writer for GQ and former staff writer at The Cut. “That definitely did heighten my sense that there was a specifically female interest in these movies that I hadn’t necessarily thought of before because I think the world of ‘Lord of the Rings’ is sort of thought of as a nerdy male interest.”</p>

<p>Jokes and memes remained a fantastic way fans could bond, but Paiella and other women who came of age in the era of “Lord of the Rings” say their passion for the movies is much deeper and more emotional. It’s an attachment that grew alongside the films’ most poignant, Howard Shore score-backed moments: “Don’t you know your Sam?” “I know your face” and “I would have followed you, my brother, my captain, my king.”</p>

<p>“The overall message of this story is that as long as you have love and hope in each other, victory or triumph is still possible,” Han said, explaining, “It is technically an epic fantasy adventure, but I don’t think it hews to the same kind of ideas of masculinity and power that a lot of these stories traditionally do.”</p>

<p>The trilogy’s primary romantic relationship may be between Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) and Arwen (Liv Tyler), the reluctant heir to Middle-earth’s throne and his half-Elven love interest. But both Paiella and Han argue that the connection between the two is no less tender than the heart-rending death of Boromir (Sean Bean) — whose desperation to save Middle-earth leads him to try to steal the Ring — with Aragorn at his side, at the end of the first film.</p>

<p>It’s the kind of moment not often found in male-oriented action films, and in certain corners of the internet, like LiveJournal and Tumblr, that tenderness — between Frodo and Sam, Legolas and Gimli, Merry and Pippin, Gandalf and Bilbo — became the focal point of “Lord of the Rings” fan fiction.</p>

<p>“I was absolutely obsessed with reading gay hobbit erotica,” said Chelsea McCurdy, 35, who works for a nonprofit based in Conway, Arkansas. “And I think that was a huge deal for me as far as my queer journey and the love for these movies.”</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/yearender-2021-kanye-west-kim-kardashian-to-gigi-hadid-zayn-malik-biggest-celebrity-breakups-of-this-year-437677" hreflang="en">Yearender 2021: Kanye West-Kim Kardashian to Gigi Hadid-Zayn Malik; biggest celebrity breakups of this year</a></p>

<p>Twenty years later, McCurdy remains especially moved by the female characters — Arwen, Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) and Eowyn (Miranda Otto) — whose roles were enhanced in the screenplays by Fran Walsh, Peter Jackson’s longtime partner, and their writing collaborator Philippa Boyens.</p>

<p>“My all-time favorite No. 1 scene is ‘I am no man,’” said McCurdy, referring to the pivotal scene in which Eowyn kills Sauron’s most terrifying servant, the Witch-king of Angmar. “That whole scene just makes me have goose bumps, and baby feminist Chelsea just ate that up.”</p>

<p>Han, the television writer, agreed, although she was reluctant to use the phrase “strong female character.” She explained, “Whenever people try to do that in contemporary cinema, it always feels like such a shallow and facile understanding, but ‘The Lord of the Rings’ really knocked it out of the park.”</p>

<p>That these female characters and many of their male counterparts are white (as are most characters in the film) hasn’t diminished the trilogy’s staying power, even for those who now hold Hollywood to a much higher standard.</p>

<p>“It’s just kind of beyond critique for me because I think I consumed it so young and because I see it, even if the movies happened recently, as like such an old, immovable work,” said Sara David, 32, an editor at Vice Media and union organizer. “I didn’t notice any lacking gender or race analysis in it because this story is so old and generic good vs. evil, you know?”</p>

<p>In what could be a major blow to the #MeToo movement, Harvey Weinstein can go free in just a few months if a New York appeals court overturns his conviction. The disgraced Hollywood producer is currently serving a 23-year sentence on rape and sexual assault charges. This makes him ineligible for parole before he turns 87.</p>

<p>Guillermo del Toro's new film "Nightmare Alley," set in a macabre 1940s carnival world of "geek shows" and grifters, is a modern parable about illusion, lies and greed, its director and cast said.</p>

<p>The pitch-black noir movie, out Friday, is del Toro's first since his Oscar-winning "The Shape of Water," and stars Bradley Cooper as a traveling "mind reader," who develops a lucrative side hustle in defrauding rich clients with sham seances.</p>

<p>Del Toro's crew constructed a full-scale World War II-era carnival set, capturing in eerie detail infamous sideshow practices like "geek shows," in which vagrants were trapped into performing gruesome acts by carnival bosses who preyed on their addictions to alcohol and opium.</p>

<p>"It's an indictment of a certain kind of ambition, or a certain kind of capitalism, or a certain kind of exploitation of other people for your happiness," said co-star Willem Dafoe, who plays carnival pitchman Clem Hoately.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-ranveer-singhs-sport-biopic-83-gets-standing-ovation-at-red-sea-international-festival-watch-video-437516" hreflang="en">'83' gets standing ovation at Red Sea Internationt Festival, watch video</a></p>

<p>"It was a beautiful world to enter, even though it's a little dark," he told a press conference.</p>

<p>The story, based on William Lindsay Gresham's novel and previously adapted into a 1947 film, finds Cooper's mysterious Stan Carlisle joining a carnival troupe and quickly learning the art of mentalism.</p>

This year has been tough on many of us thanks to a constant threat posed by coronavirus that kept travel, entertainment and gatherings to a bare minimum. But there’s one thing that almost all would agree has kept us sane – food.

This year has been tough on many of us thanks to a constant threat posed by coronavirus that kept travel, entertainment and gatherings to a bare minimum. But there’s one thing that almost all would agree has kept us sane – food. People all over the world experimented with food the most this year and came out with some stunning food dishes that not only look appetising but are delicious and savoury. Here we compile a list of Top 5 Most Viral Food Trends of 2021: Baked Feta Pasta Topping our list without any competition is Baked Feta Pasta that invokes a sense of hunger at the first look of the dish. With red cherry tomatoes layered on top of boiled pasta and a harmonious splurge of feta cheese on top – is what heavenly food is made of. Delectably decadent and simple, this food was in almost every foodie and food blogger’s list. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Healthy Food 🍏 (@foodfuly) × Pasta Chips This food also involves pasta albeit differently. Unlike its much healthier version above, this one’s fried. You can cut the carbs by using the air frying method but we recommend the traditional method using oil. The best thing about this recipe is that it can be easily adapted to any noodles, sauces, cooking methods or ingredients. You can make this with whatever you have in the kitchen. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 하몽･̑◡･̑ (@____jamon) × Baked Mac & Cheese How often do we include Mac & Cheese in comfort food lists? Well, almost every time but this one is baked and has a totally different zing to it. It’s truly a one-pan dish where you can simply toss everything in a greased pan and switch on the oven. It serves well over planned dinners that will feast a large gathering. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Chef Natasha | asiliglam.com (@asiliglamcooks) × Baked Oats Humble oats gained recognition in 2021 when foodies started trying out different recipes with it – from overnight oats that can be eaten as a healthy breakfast option to baked oats that couple both as a breakfast option and dessert; there’s lots that can be done with these. We will, however, focus our attention on baked oats that look like cake, taste like cake but are extremely healthy. Replace flour with oats and use the other cake/brownie ingredients with a fruit acting as a sweetener and voila, you have your baked oats dish that has our vote. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Eugenia | Not Only Oats 🥄 (@not_only_oats) × Plant-based Milk Alternatives Another thing that picked up majorly this year was plant-based alternatives to regular items like dairy products. People swapped milk for soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk, rice milk, oat milk and what not.

<p>There’s a reason why the Netflix show ‘Emily in Paris’ doesn’t have COVID exist in its timeline.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Actress Lily Collins who stars as the lead in the show said, “Season 1 allowed us an escapism when it came out that it felt it was something that needed to continue — not addressing it because it brings a sense of escapism and joy and laughter in a time that we need it the most.”</p>

<p>As the season 2 of Emily in Paris is ready to debut, Lily Collins said, “Shooting a show in a city that is highly populated where people are wearing masks, yet we’re shooting in a world that doesn’t exist with COVID — so it’s making sure that when we’re rolling the masks are off and when we stop rolling they come back on. There were a couple of times when they started shooting and I was like, ‘Wait, half the people in the scene are still wearing masks.’”<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-sex-and-the-city-actor-chris-noth-aka-mr-big-accused-of-rape-assault-denies-allegations-437558">Sex and the City's Mr Big accused of rape, assault; denies allegations</a></p>

<p>The show will have Tony-nominated playwright Jeremy O. Harris join the cast as an eccentric fashion designer. On joining the show, Jeremy said, “Acting is the thing I started out doing. One of the reasons I stopped acting and started writing was because I felt like there weren’t roles that I wanted to be in. I was like, I’d rather write my own. But finally someone wrote a role where it was like, this is exactly the kind of person I would love to be.”</p>
