'Black Panther' actress Letitia Wright hospitalised after injury on set; discharged post treatment

Porn star Ron Jeremy was formally charged with the rape or sexual assault of 21 women and girls, US prosecutors said Wednesday.

Jeremy, who has appeared in more than 1,700 X-rated films since the 1970s, has been the subject of criminal allegations within the adult industry for years.

In June 2020 he was accused of raping three women and sexually assaulting a fourth, and his appearance at a Los Angeles court sparked a wave of further allegations.

The charges date back to 1996 and involve 21 alleged victims between the ages of 15 and 51, Los Angeles county prosecutor George Gascon said Wednesday.

Jeremy, who has previously declared himself "innocent" on Twitter, denied all charges. He faces life in prison if convicted.

The 68-year-old -- whose real name is Ronald Jeremy Hyatt -- appeared in famous adult movies including "Deep Throat II" and "John Wayne Bobbitt Uncut."

With his trademark moustache, he was one of the industry's most recognizable stars among the wider public.

But he has long been dogged by assault claims and barred from industry events in recent years.

After the initial charges were brought against Jeremy in June last year, his attorney Stuart Goldfarb denied all the allegations and insisted his client was "not a rapist."

"Ron -- over the years, because of who he is -- has essentially been a paramour to over 4,000 women. And to allege that he is a rapist is beyond... I mean, women throw themselves at him," he added.

Jeremy is the latest high-profile entertainment industry figure to be investigated for sexual abuse in Los Angeles since the #MeToo movement began in 2017.

A taskforce established to investigate sex crimes in Hollywood has so far focused on at least 20 men in the entertainment industry.

Among them is disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, who is already serving 23 years in prison in New York, but now faces further charges in California.

HBO on Wednesday said that US director Spike Lee is re-editing the final episode of a documentary series on the September 11, 2001 terror attacks that featured interviews with conspiracy theorists.

The last episode of the eight-hour series -- which focuses on the effect of Al-Qaeda attacks and the Covid-19 pandemic on New York City -- includes interviews with a group pushing the debunked theory that the World Trade Center towers were destroyed in a controlled demolition, and not by hijacked airliners crashing into the buildings.

Lee faced criticism for including the interviews after HBO allowed reporters an early viewing of the series.

The final episode is set to air on the cable TV network on September 11, the 20th anniversary of the attacks.

"I'm Back In The Editing Room And Looking At The Eighth And Final Chapter Of NYC EPICENTERS 9/11➔2021½. I Respectfully Ask You To Hold Your Judgment Until You See The FINAL CUT," Lee said in a note posted on an HBO website.

The episode also includes interviews with scientists who refute the conspiracy claims, but critics say Lee gave the conspiracists undeserved air time.

"Lee devotes 30 minutes near the very end of his series to relitigating arguments that have been debunked a thousand times," wrote Jeremy Stahl in Slate Magazine.

Stahl had earlier interviewed Richard Gage, the most prominent member of the conspiracy group who also appears in Lee's documentary.&nbsp;

"Gage is responsible for peddling some of the most pernicious and long-running lies about the 9/11 attacks," wrote Stahl.

The final episode was "a bit like presenting Covid-19 vaccine skeptics in a debate alongside Anthony Fauci, or Holocaust deniers alongside the Simon Wiesenthal Center, or a clique of climate change skeptics alongside the authors of the United Nations IPCC report," Stahl said.

Spike Lee re-edits 9-11 documentary featuring conspiracy theorists

Movie theater bosses have plenty of cause for cheer this week -- not least because 2,000 of them are spending it at a bustling Las Vegas casino adorned with posters proclaiming "The Big Screen Is Back."

After a year-and-a-half of big film releases placed on hold due to Covid, the CinemaCon trade summit has seen studios show off a glut of forthcoming blockbuster offerings, with James Bond, Batman, Spider-Man and The Matrix all headed for the big screen soon.

But beneath the talk of theatrical renaissance is a great deal of uncertainty -- highlighted by the absence from Caesars Palace of Disney, which unlike its rivals did not put on a presentation of its theatrical schedule for the next few months.

The Delta variant is keeping Disney executives at home -- the same strain of Covid that has reduced US consumer confidence in the safety of going to theaters from its early-summer high.

But Disney bosses may have drawn a frosty reception in the desert heat had they met with owners of international multiplexes and independent mom-and-pop theaters, who rely heavily on their wildly popular product.

Hollywood's biggest studio has launched multiple recent films on its own Disney+ streaming platform, including 'Black Widow,'&nbsp;'Jungle Cruise'&nbsp;and 'Cruella,'&nbsp;taking money out of box office registers and popcorn concession stands.

While its comedy 'Free Guy'&nbsp;and next big Marvel superhero film 'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings'&nbsp;are exclusive to theaters, nobody knows what Disney is planning next.

"We need to know where they're going in the future," National Association of Theatre Owners chief John Fithian told AFP.

"We just don't know what's coming from them after those movies. We need some greater signals about what their release models are," he added.

Disney is not alone -- rival Warner Bros for instance was slammed by theaters and A-listers for releasing all its 2021 titles on HBO Max, although it has since committed to a shorter, 45-day exclusive big-screen window for next year's movies.

But the competition between entertainment giants to drive new subscribers to their streaming platforms at any cost is a broader issue, and movie theaters are currently caught in the crossfire.&nbsp;

"The streaming wars are hot and heavy, and some studios have their streaming platforms as a big priority, and some don't," said Fithian.&nbsp;

"We are concerned about the attitude of some on the studio side, that profitability doesn't matter -- all that matters is subscribers," he added.

- 'Concerned' -&nbsp;

The concern raised by Hollywood studios experimenting with streaming is nothing compared to the ever-growing reach of Big Tech.

Earlier in the week historic studio MGM confirmed the long-delayed James Bond movie 'No Time To Die'&nbsp;will finally see the light of day in October -- important due to the franchise's enormous popularity, and symbolic as 007's outing was the first major movie delayed in March 2020.

But any mention of the Hollywood Golden Age-era studio's ongoing takeover by tech giant Amazon was, like Disney, conspicuously absent.

"What does an Amazon acquisition of MGM mean? We don't know," said Fithian.&nbsp;

"I hope it means that the creative vision, and the ways that movies are released by the MGM team, continues and is encouraged and is fostered. But it might not."

While theater owners insist studios will make more money by putting all their films back on the big screen once the pandemic eases, the equation changes for the deep-pocketed likes of Amazon, who have other priorities.

"It's not a business model that means they want big returns on their movies -- they want to drive people to Amazon Prime," Fithian said.

"It does concern us when a gigantic tech company like that proposes to acquire a historic film studio with filmmakers that want their movies in our theaters," he added.&nbsp;

The Amazon-MGM deal was announced in May, and is currently the subject of a federal antitrust probe.&nbsp;

While the theater owners' group has not taken a formal position, Fithian noted that regulators have the power to block or attach specific conditions to any merger.

"We are concerned about conditions on that acquisition, and we'd like to see movies released by MGM for theatrical release," he said.

Actress Zoë Kravitz to star in animated series 'Phatty Phatty'

When the website OnlyFans announced plans to ban sexually explicit content, the internet was awash with comparisons to another site that famously went down the "family-friendly" route -- and promptly lost many of its users.

Tumblr, a blogging site that enjoyed cult status among teens in the early 2010s, banned "adult" posts in 2018, only to suffer an immediate 30 percent drop in visits, according to internet traffic monitor SimilarWeb.

Bought by Yahoo for $1.1 billion in 2013, Tumblr had by 2019 sold to a new owner for a comparatively miniscule $3 million.

Twitter users shared memes predicting a similar demise for OnlyFans, a website with 150 million users -- most of whom subscribe to raunchy content, sold directly by the people who make it.

"Tumblr and OnlyFans hanging out after they both banned porn," read one widely-shared tweet, depicting two side-by-side gravestones.

Sex certainly sells. Since launching in 2016, OnlyFans has paid more than $4.5 billion to content creators, who include celebrities like rapper Cardi B and well-known porn stars, but also students and grandparents supplementing their income.

So has the company doomed itself to failure by banning the very thing it is known for?

- Prudish payment processors -&nbsp;

"This is a bold move from OnlyFans, considering the revenue generated by adult content performers," said Scarlett Woodford, an analyst at Juniper Research who published a study this week on the future of digital adult entertainment.

The UK-based website, which takes a 20 percent cut from performers' revenues, cited pressure from bankers and investors for the decision.

It would not be the first time financial companies have been blamed for what critics say is an unjustified crackdown on sexual expression, and represents the removal of many of the sex workers who turned the site into a success in the first place.

Patreon, another website through which fans can support creators, announced a similar ban on explicit content in 2017 under pressure from banks.

"Credit card companies and financial institutions consider adult entertainment to be a high-risk sector," Woodford explained -- not least due to the high rate of transactions that people dispute, claiming they were accidental.

Payment processing firms and investors are also increasingly worried that they could be accused of funding illegal material that makes its way onto sites that allow adult content.

Visa and Mastercard temporarily banned payments to sites owned by porn giant MindGeek last year, over reports that it was hosting non-consensual "revenge porn".

And this month, US lawmakers demanded an investigation into alleged child pornography posted on OnlyFans.

- Cooking and yoga -&nbsp;

US news site Axios reported last week that "several deep-pocketed firms" had declined to invest in OnlyFans because of the "porn problem".

OnlyFans has yet to specify what will be banned under its new policy from October, although it says nudity will still be allowed.

The "explicit content" ban has been met with deep dismay from sex workers' groups, who said the site offered financial security and a safe working environment to tens of thousands of people during the pandemic.

But a rebrand is already underway, with OnlyFans pitching itself as a site where people might go to subscribe to videos by their favourite chefs or yoga instructors.

Losing its raunchy niche will place OnlyFans in more direct competition with sites like Patreon, Woodford warned.

And it remains to be seen whether mainstream content creators and their fans can be convinced to head there.

Texas-based painter Bria Gladney didn't last on OnlyFans much more than a week. "The audience there is not interested in paintings of trees, if you get my drift," she said.

But OnlyFans has been aggressively recruiting purveyors of wholesome content, from singers to fitness coaches.

"I was absolutely hesitant to create an account," artist and drag queen Chase Ingrande told AFP. "Not because I think pornographic content is a negative thing -- I'm just not that kind of creator."

Ingrande posts clips of singing, as well as make-up tutorials -- such as how he makes his bushy eyebrows disappear when transforming into his drag alter-ego, Chase Runaway.

Toronto-based fashion stylist Barbara Aleks was also reluctant to join, until OnlyFans persuaded her to open a page by offering to promote it.

"Once they educated me on the platform itself and explained that there's a whole other side to it, I thought I'd give it a try," she said.

"It gives me access to an audience that might not necessarily find me on Instagram or TikTok. And it provides me with an opportunity to share exclusive paid content in the future."

When the website OnlyFans announced plans to ban sexually explicit content, the internet was awash with comparisons to another site that famously went down the "family-friendly" route -- and promptly lost many of its users.

When the website OnlyFans announced plans to ban sexually explicit content, the internet was awash with comparisons to another site that famously went down the "family-friendly" route -- and promptly lost many of its users. Tumblr, a blogging site that enjoyed cult status among teens in the early 2010s, banned "adult" posts in 2018, only to suffer an immediate 30 percent drop in visits, according to internet traffic monitor SimilarWeb. Bought by Yahoo for $1.1 billion in 2013, Tumblr had by 2019 sold to a new owner for a comparatively miniscule $3 million. Twitter users shared memes predicting a similar demise for OnlyFans, a website with 150 million users -- most of whom subscribe to raunchy content, sold directly by the people who make it. "Tumblr and OnlyFans hanging out after they both banned porn," read one widely-shared tweet, depicting two side-by-side gravestones. Sex certainly sells. Since launching in 2016, OnlyFans has paid more than $4.5 billion to content creators, who include celebrities like rapper Cardi B and well-known porn stars, but also students and grandparents supplementing their income. So has the company doomed itself to failure by banning the very thing it is known for? - Prudish payment processors - "This is a bold move from OnlyFans, considering the revenue generated by adult content performers," said Scarlett Woodford, an analyst at Juniper Research who published a study this week on the future of digital adult entertainment. The UK-based website, which takes a 20 percent cut from performers' revenues, cited pressure from bankers and investors for the decision. It would not be the first time financial companies have been blamed for what critics say is an unjustified crackdown on sexual expression, and represents the removal of many of the sex workers who turned the site into a success in the first place. Patreon, another website through which fans can support creators, announced a similar ban on explicit content in 2017 under pressure from banks. "Credit card companies and financial institutions consider adult entertainment to be a high-risk sector," Woodford explained -- not least due to the high rate of transactions that people dispute, claiming they were accidental. Payment processing firms and investors are also increasingly worried that they could be accused of funding illegal material that makes its way onto sites that allow adult content. Visa and Mastercard temporarily banned payments to sites owned by porn giant MindGeek last year, over reports that it was hosting non-consensual "revenge porn". And this month, US lawmakers demanded an investigation into alleged child pornography posted on OnlyFans. - Cooking and yoga - US news site Axios reported last week that "several deep-pocketed firms" had declined to invest in OnlyFans because of the "porn problem". OnlyFans has yet to specify what will be banned under its new policy from October, although it says nudity will still be allowed.

OnlyFans: doomed by its own porn ban?

English actor Freddie Highmore has come a long way since he shot to fame with ‘Finding Neverland’. Among other projects, he now plays the famous Dr Shaun Murphy on long-running ABC’s ‘The Good Doctor’ that has recently been renewed for season 5, set to premiere on September 27, 2021.

English actor Freddie Highmore has come a long way since he shot to fame with ‘Finding Neverland’. Among other projects, he now plays the famous Dr Shaun Murphy on long-running ABC’s ‘The Good Doctor’ that has recently been renewed for season 5, set to premiere on September 27, 2021. Loved for his charisma on the American medical drama television series, Freddie plays a young autistic surgical resident at the fictional San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital. As The Good Doctor season 4 currently streams on SonyLIV, Freddie Highmore spoke to WION about the inherent likeability of medical shows around the world and challenges in shooting such an intense TV show during the pandemic. WION: Since the new season has a subplot of the pandemic, how was it like to film those scenes and what impact did that have on Dr Shaun? Freddie: Yes. It certainly was a struggle for Shaun because the pandemic was something completely unknown, especially initially. Shaun is so well prepared and has so much knowledge and has learned so much from his textbooks, but then he’s faced with something that no one knew anything about and had to think about and learn on their feet. And so, it was certainly tricky for Shaun at the beginning. WION: Playing a doctor on the show, was there ever a moment that you felt overwhelmed given the pandemic is not over yet? Freddie: The most important thing for all of us when playing doctors amid the pandemic in reel, was to pay tribute to the real life healthcare professionals, and first line workers who have been heroic -- in the face of such trauma over these last few months. I think for all of us it’s really just put into perspective how, as actors, we’re just playing doctors on television. And that means nothing compared to what people are really doing out there every single day. It would’ve felt wrong, and we would’ve been shirking a sense of responsibility to them, to not wanting to portray that on television. So that’s sort of where I guess it all began in terms of wanting to tell that story. The first two episodes do track the pandemic over a period of months in some ways. It shows how these doctors, over the course of several months, as things change, as more information comes in, learn more and more about this virus and how the world is responding to it. Watch The Good Doctor - Season 4 Official Trailer: WION: Why do you think medical shows are such a hit around the world? Freddie: I’d like to think that there are two different reasons for it. One of them is that it deals with the most elemental and important things that all humans will go through inevitably -- which is living, giving birth to people, starting up in life, and then also, at some stage, inevitably passing away. I think in terms of the thematic events that go on within a hospital there are things that everyone necessarily are able to connect to. But I’d also like to think that even though the thematic kind of interest is what draws people in, it’s also the characters on these medical shows. In The Good Doctor one of these characters is of Shaun who’s had a different viewpoint on the world. Maybe now we’ve moved towards a space where we’re looking for someone who offers a little bit more hope and who sees the good in people, who doesn’t pre-judge anyone, and is asking genuine questions, genuinely trying to figure out other people’s opinions rather than arriving with preconceived notions of what they should be. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Good Doctor (@thegooddoctorabc) × WION: Since you mentioned you’re in Vancouver, what’s the current situation regarding COVID and how was filming the show there? Freddie: Yes, we’re here in Vancouver. Fortunately, it’s not as badly affected as other cities but everyone is taking the necessary precautions, both off and on set. On the set, we’re tested three times a week and are wearing masks as much as possible. We take them off for the scenes. It does feel different shooting amid the pandemic with the camera operators removed from the set and working remotely on a crane but it should be different given the circumstances. All in all, we’re lucky to be able to get back to work, and tell these stories. WION: Since you play an autistic character, how do you think the show connects with the community? Freddie: I hope that through the character of Shaun we’ll continue to do justice to his story, and therefore, more widely, help start a discussion about autism, and how, more specifically, people with autism can work within a hospital environment and can be successful within it. The other thing that we’re always aware of is that Shaun can’t represent everyone who is on the spectrum, and we’re telling his one individual story. So that doesn’t mean that it will be something that everyone who has autism will be able to feel a connection to but hopefully it is someone that will continue to spark a discussion, and start those greater, in-depth research that is necessary to understand autism more fully.

Good news for Elton John fans as the singer made his first Billboard Hot 100 in over 20 years with ‘Cold Heart (Pnau Remix)’ with Dua Lipa. They debuted with this song on number 81.&nbsp;

In the song, Elton sings part of his 1990 Hot 100 hit ‘Sacrifice’ and Dua Lipa reprises his 1972 classic ‘Rocket Man’ in ‘Cold Heart’ set to a beat by Australia’s Pnau (brothers Nick and Sam Littlemore and Peter Mayes).

John makes his first Hot 100 appearance since the chart dated July 29, 2000, when ‘Someday Out of the Blue’ ranked at No. 99 after reaching No. 49.&nbsp;

Elton John is not new to Billboard records but is making a comeback after a long time. He had nine Hot 100 No. 1s, from ‘Crocodile Rock’ in 1973 to ‘Candle in the Wind 1997’/’Something About the Way You Look Tonight,’ his longest-leading hit in 1997-98.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
‘Cold Heart’ concurrently launches at No. 3 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, which, like the Hot 100, blends airplay, sales and streaming data.

New James Bond footage from historic Hollywood studio MGM shook and stirred the movie theater industry's CinemaCon summit in Las Vegas Tuesday, as executives struck a defiant note about the future of the big screen.

A nine-minute clip from 'No Time To Die'&nbsp;-- billed as Daniel Craig's final 007 outing, and the series' 25th installment -- showed Bond apparently awakening from an explosion in a picturesque Italian village, before plunging into a series of car and motorbike chases.

In traditional fashion for the British super-spy, Bond inflicted violence on his foes using his fists and deadly machine-gun gadgets fitted into the headlights of his Aston Martin.

The plot picks up after 2015's 'Spectre,'&nbsp;with the loyalty of love interest Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux) now seemingly called into question.

"There's something I need to tell you," she says to Bond in the clip, after shadowy operatives converge on the agent. "I bet there is," he responds angrily.

The film has been delayed multiple times by Covid, and is of huge importance to movie theaters this year as Hollywood hopes to entice viewers back to cinemas despite the pandemic.

"Though we know it feels like a long time coming, it was important to us to release this movie when fans can watch James Bond, as it's intended to be enjoyed -- on the big screen," MGM film chief Michael De Luca said, to a loud ovation.

No mention was made of MGM's recent acquisition by Amazon.

Long-standing Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have insisted that upcoming 007 films will still appear in theaters.

But the spy franchise was seen as a crown jewel in the $8.45 billion deal intended to boost Amazon's streaming presence, as competition intensifies in the on-demand market.

The annual CinemaCon sees Hollywood studios bring glitzy stars and never-before-seen footage to a Las Vegas casino to woo theater bosses.

After a year's absence due to Covid, it is taking place again despite fears about the Delta variant, and A-listers have largely stayed away from this week's Las Vegas event.

But with nearly 90 percent of domestic theaters now back open, executives at Caesars Palace have repeatedly emphasized positive prospects for the big screen.

"There is only one way to create a billion-dollar movie franchise -- show movies in movie theaters first," said Adam Aron, chair of giant movie theater chain AMC.

Exhibiting their wares later Tuesday are Warner Bros, who angered many Hollywood filmmakers and movie theaters this year by releasing all of their titles simultaneously on the HBO Max streaming platform.

The studio has entered deals to restore a "window" in which movies will be exclusive to theaters next year.

The MGM presentation also featured footage from upcoming Ridley Scott drama 'House of Gucci'&nbsp;starring a glittering ensemble including Lady Gaga and Adam Driver, as well as a new movie musical of'"Cyrano'&nbsp;led by Peter Dinklage ("Game of Thrones.")

Advance footage was shown of "Samaritan," starring Sylvester Stallone as a disillusioned former vigilante with superhero powers, determined to clear up a crime-ridden city.

"No Time To Die" gets its world premiere in London on September 28. CinemaCon runs until Thursday.
