<p>Elections for SAG-AFTRA presidency have turned ugly with allegations and threats of lawsuits being thrown at each other between those standing in election. Unite for Strength, the union’s ruling party, is calling on Matthew Modine and his MembershipFirst opposition party to publicly denounce the “rhetoric of hate”. MembershipFirst, in turn, is threatening legal action.</p>

<p>In a tweet, Unite for Strength said: “We challenge Matthew Modine and Membership First to publicly renounce and discontinue harboring the MF (MembershipFirst) Board members who denied George Floyd’s murder, amplified death threats, joined up with the NXIVM cult, threatened to shoot supporters of vaccination requirements, called the January 6th insurrection a ‘set up’ by ‘paid operators,’ falsely spread that Black Lives Matter is a hate group funded by George Soros, and voted against a task force to increase diversity in the stunt community. We condemn this rhetoric of hate.”</p>

<p>As a response, a membershipFirst source told Deadline: “We have no response to this bullsh*t. The lawyers are involved and they’re dealing with it. Let them name names, and they better start putting all of their properties in trust. It’s all bullsh*t. They won’t debate the issues.”</p>

<p>Ben Whitehair, a UFS leader and national board member, joined the thread calling for MembershipFirst to renounce these supporters. “It’s truly devastating to see this kind of behavior in our SAG-AFTRA board rooms. Entirely unacceptable. To my fellow members, please vote @unite4strength so we can bring kindness back to the board room, focus on the issues that matter, and keep us all going back to work.”</p>

<p>Anthony Rapp, who is presidential candidate Fran Drescher’s running mate on the Unite for Strength ticket, also joined the thread. “Yes, please, any leader of @MembershipFirst – especially @MatthewModine &amp; @MsJoelyFisher – please address these concerns.”</p>

<p>MembershipFirst supporters pointed out recently that Drescher, a cancer survivor and president of Cancer Schmancer, has linked 5G, the fifth generation technology for broadband cellular networks, to cancer. She had tweeted in May 2020, “I can’t believe all the commercials for 5G. Gr8 4cancer, harming birds, bees &amp; mor viruses like Corona. Dial it bac. Keep it simple. B a mindFUL consumer the @cancerschmancer way. Make what you buy ur vote &amp; what u don’t buy ur PROTEST. We can do this. God is speaking. Let’s LISTEN.”</p>

<p>It prompted Twitter to post a notice on her tweet, saying: “No, 5G isn’t causing coronavirus. Numerous people have been spreading unsubstantiated stories about 5G technology being linked to the spread of COVID-19. The theory has been debunked by several reputable sources including government officials, and experts in the tech and medical industries.”</p>

<p>Afghanistan is now in a bad shape since the militant group Taliban has taken control over the law and order of the nation. With shocking visuals coming from the landlocked nation, of people trying to flee the country, we wonder what will happen to their beautiful and culturally rich entertainment industry.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Taliban known for their hardline Islamist approach to life and a dominant history of oppressing women -- understand Islamic law to forbid music and movies. Thus, there looms a danger of losing whatever growth the industry had witnessed since 2001 when cinema found its voice back after a deadpan silence.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Here’s taking a look at all that the world stands to lose if Taliban forces cinema to shutdown in Afghanistan:&nbsp;Actresses such as Leena Alam, Amina Jafari, Saba Sahar and Marina Gulbahari have established a name for themselves over the last decade.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Saba is also Afghanistan’s first female film director.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There is Mohsen Makhmalbaf’s 2011 film ‘Kandahar’ which also became the first Afghani film to enter the Cannes film festival.</p>

<p>Over the years, several films such as ‘Osama’ which won the Golden Globes in 2003, ‘Buzkashi Boys’ &nbsp;which was nominated for the Oscars in 2012 or &nbsp;‘A Letter to the President’ have made an impact worldwide.</p>

<p>Since many filmmakers escaped the country due to the wars, they began to make films outside Afghanistan. Some notable films made outside Afghanistan include 'Shirin Gul-o-Shir Agha'&nbsp;trilogy made in Russia, Foreign Land, Loori, 'Sheraghai Daghalbaaz', 'In The Wrong Hands', 'Shade of Fire', Al Qarem'&nbsp;in United States, 'Shekast'&nbsp;in Pakistan&nbsp;and in&nbsp;'Gridami' in Italy by Razi Mohebi among others.</p>

<p>Most notable of all were Academy-Award submission 'FireDancer' and France-based film 'Khakestar-o-khak'.</p>

<p>Just today, Indian filmmaker Anurag Kashyap <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/anurag-kashyap-shares-afghan-filmmaker-sahraa-karimis-open-letter-appeal-as-taliban-enters-kabul-405871">shared a lengthy letter that was&nbsp;penned by Afghan filmmaker Sahraa Karimi </a>who wrote about the horrors the Taliban has been inflicting upon the people, selling girls off as child brides to their fighters and gouging out the eyes of women who did not wear the "right" clothes. She also wrote that the terrorist group is assassinating members of the government, notably the head of media and culture, as well as a comedian, a historian and a poet, and displacing hundreds of thousands of families, who are now living in unsanitary conditions in Kabul, their babies dying because there’s no milk.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Highlighting what Taliban rule could mean for Afghanistan’s creative community and its women, Karimi writes, "If the Taliban takes over it will ban art. I and other filmmakers could be next on their hit list. They will strip away women’s rights, we will be pushed to the shadows, to our homes, and our voices will be stifled into silence. Just in these few weeks, the Taliban have destroyed many schools and two million girls are now forced out of school."<br />

<p>Scarlett Johansson has now been roped in Wes Anderson film.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The filming has begun in Spain where the actress was currently spotted. The title of the film alongwith the plot is being kept under wraps.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Scarlett will be seen alongside previously announced cast members including Margot Robbie, Tom Hanks, Adrian Brody, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Rupert Friend and Tilda Swinton.</p>

<p>Scarlett has previously voiced a role in Wes Anderson’s 2018 film ‘Isle of Dogs’. This will be the first time that she appears before the camera in one of his films.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actress was recently in the news for her verbal duel with Disney as she sued the entertainment company for taking her latest film ‘Black Widow’ to streamer and killing business at the theatres. The lawsuit claims that, by steering audiences to Disney+, the media conglomerate wanted to grow its subscriber base and boost its stock price. Yet that was at the expense of Johansson, whose compensation would “largely be based on box office receipts,” according to the lawsuit, while she “extracted a promise from Marvel that the release” of Black Widow would be a theatrical release.</p>

Horrifying scenes from Afghanistan are now making their way to the internet as thousands try to flee the war torn country that is falling deeper into the hands of militant group Taliban, than ever before. The Afghan government collapsed on August 15 as the Taliban entered Kabul virtually unopposed leading to massive chaos and utter disruption of law and order. With fear and mass displacement of people from their homes courtesy the unforeseen circumstances, Afghanistan is now facing a humanitarian crisis.

WATCH - Kabul chaos: Shocking videos and photos from Afghanistan after Taliban takeover

<p>It’s been a heavy week for us all as the world watches Afghanistan crumble in the hands of militant group Taliban that has taken control over major parts of the country. After US troops pulled out of the country, the Afghanistan government collapsed and gave in to the miscreants.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While the world watches with a heavy heart at the sad state of affairs, on Monday’s episode of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert said it feels like a ripped ‘Band Aid’ scenario. He dedicated his entire monologue to the Taliban’ takeover of Afghanistan and the US’ withdrawal from the country after 20 years.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Stephen Colbert said, “The US has been there for 20 years. We spent $2 trillion. We trained a 300,000-man strong Afghan army, and the Taliban took it over in 10 days. The country is in complete chaos.”</p>

<p>Stephen noted that US President Joe Biden is facing some flak for not leaving the country with some stability and support. He admitted that Biden will face the music “because he’s the President.” He then cut to a clip in which ABC’s Martha Raddatz referred to a “massive intelligence failure” on the part of the US.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>ALSO&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/watch-kabul-chaos-shocking-videos-and-photos-from-afghanistan-after-taliban-takeover-406056" hreflang="en">WATCH - Kabul chaos: Shocking videos and photos from Afghanistan after Taliban takeover</a></h2>

<p>Stephen said, “That’s gotta sting when people describe your foreign policy the same way they describe Ron DeSantis.” He admitted that “it’s hard to argue that the White House didn’t shank the withdrawal.”</p>

<p>Joe Biden had said in a July 8 press conference that “the likelihood there’s going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely.” Stephen said this was the most inaccurate prediction from a president since Abraham Lincoln said, ‘See you after the play.'”</p>

<h2>ALSO READ:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/the-art-and-cinema-we-risk-of-losing-in-talibans-takeover-of-afghanistan-406118" hreflang="en">The art and cinema we risk of losing in Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan</a></h2>

<p>However, Stephen agreed that Biden was right in pulling out the troops as “American troops cannot and should not be fighting in a war and dying in a war that Afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves.” Stephen said, “He’s right. Why should our soldiers be fighting radicals in a civil war in Afghanistan? We’ve got our own on Capitol Hill. What’s happening now is the responsibility of both parties, and the American people who voted them into office.”</p>

<p>He also touched on Biden’s points that we, as a country, did everything we could for the Afghans, and that the Taliban would have taken over Afghanistan, regardless of the timing of U.S. withdrawal.</p>

<p>“Maybe Biden’s right. Maybe there was no good alternative. Were we never supposed to leave? Make Afghanistan the 51st state?” he wondered. “In the end, you can make us accept that there was no good alternative, but you can’t make us feel good about it. The only people who can feel good about this are the service members and their families who aren’t going to see soldiers sent into harm’s way for no reason that the commander-in-chief of either party can articulate.”</p>

<p>The host ended with, “So pulling out might be the right thing to do, but it’s heartbreaking, it’s humbling, when the right thing feels so wrong.”<br />

<p>Did you happen to enjoy Bradley Cooper’s directorial ‘A Star is Born’ that starred him along with singer Lady Gaga? Well, Barbra Streisand is not convinced one bit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Appearing on a talk show recently, Barbra said, “I thought it was the wrong idea. Look, it was a big success. I can’t argue with success. But I don’t care so much about success as I do originality.”</p>

<p>Barbra Streisand starred in the previous version of the film alongside Kris Kristofferson. The film has been adapted and remade several times, originally being in 1937. It was by David O. Selznick, starring Janet Gaynor and ‎Fredric March. Moss Hart adapted it in 1954, with Judy Garland and James Mason starring, with a third version, directed by Frank Pierson, released in 1976. Barbra was a part of the 1976 film.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Barbra also said that when she was told that A Star Is Born is getting another remake, she thought it was going to be “Will Smith and Beyoncé” who would star. Interestingly, Beyoncé was attached around 2011, when Clint Eastwood was looking to direct. She said, “I thought…that’s interesting. You know, really make it different again—a different kind of music, integrated actors. I thought that was a great idea. So, I was surprised when I saw how alike it was to the version that I did in 1976.”</p>

<p>To be honest, Warner Bros.’ 2018 ‘A Star Is Born’ pic is similar, in terms of plot, to every version of the film made to date, following a hard-drinking musician (Cooper) who discovers and falls in love with a young singer (Lady Gaga). Cooper also produced and directed the film, in his feature debut.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-don-mclean-gets-hollywood-star-as-american-pie-hits-50-406171" hreflang="en">Don McLean gets Hollywood star as 'American Pie' hits 50</a></p>

<p>Pete Davidson and Phoebe Dynevor are not together anymore. They called it quits after dating for five months. Reportedly, the distance got to them.</p>

<p>The ‘Bridgerton’ actress and comedian were last seen together in the UK in July as they attended a Wimbledon match. However, recently, Phoebe took a trip with her friends instead of flying to Pete raising alarms. A source claims that they were trying to make it work but the distance “put a strain” on their relationship.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The source was quoted: “It was wild while it lasted... But the distance has put a strain on them. They will remain close but unless something drastic changes their relationship won't recover.”</p>

<p>The couple had busy lives as Phoebe Dynevor was busy filming series two of Bridgerton in the UK while Pete Davidson is occupied with Saturday Night Live in the US as well as filming a movie called ‘Meet Cute’. It is also thought that travel restrictions have added a further pressure to their romance as it isn't easy to just 'jump on a plane' and see each other.&nbsp;</p>
