As conflict between Israel and Gaza continues, over 1300 artistes, including Hollywood A-listers like Javier Bardem and Mark Ruffalo, have pledged to not work with Israeli film institutions. 

More than 1,300 artistes, including some Hollywood A-listers, have pledged not to work with Israeli film institutions that have been complicit in abuses against Palestinians. The pledge was released on Monday, and artists like Mark Ruffalo, Riz Ahmed, Ayo Edebiri, Olivia Colman, Tilda Swinton, and Javier Bardem are some of the prominent names who have decried the “unrelenting horror” in Gaza, where Israel has killed more than 64,000 Palestinians and flattened most of the territory. “Inspired by Filmmakers United Against Apartheid who refused to screen their films in apartheid South Africa, we pledge not to screen films, appear at or otherwise work with Israeli film institutions – including festivals, cinemas, broadcasters and production companies – that are implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people,” the statement read. The pledge also gave examples of being complicit in violation of rights which include, “whitewashing or justifying genocide and apartheid, and/or partnering with the government committing them." The pledge cited International Court of Justice rulings that concluded a genocide charge against Israel is plausible and found the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory as illegal. Support pours in for Gaza In the last 23 months, ever since the conflict between Hamas and Israel intensified, rights groups and United Nations experts have accused Israel of committing genocide against Palestine. Artistes across the world have spoken against the genocide. Palestinian rights advocates, too, have urged celebrities to use their reach and status to bring awareness to the plight of Palestinians. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Mike Lerner, one of the signatories to the statement, said the pledge was a “non-violent tool” to undermine the impunity that Israel enjoys for its conduct against Palestinians. Hollywood is divided over the Israel-Palestine conflict In recent years, actors and directors have condemned Israel’s policies, which have affected their careers. In 2023, Susan Sarandon was dropped by her talent agency for attending a Palestine solidarity rally. Sarandon is one of the signatories of Monday’s pledge, which was dropped by her talent agency after attending a Palestine solidarity rally. Melissa Barrera, who also joined the boycott call, lost her role in the horror franchise Scream over social media posts critical of Israel. Hollywood has been mostly divided in its stand against Israel. While actors have been dropped from projects for their support of Palestine, films showcasing the conflict have been awarded. In March, No Other Land, an Israeli-Palestinian film focused on the ongoing destruction of the Palestinian community of Masafer Yatta in the occupied West Bank, won the Oscar for best documentary feature. Last week, The Voice of Hind Rajab, a film about a five-year-old Palestinian girl killed by Israeli forces in Gaza last year, got a standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival. Brad Pitt and Joaquin Phoenix were among the film's executive producers.

Russell Crowe's nerve-shredding portrayal of a notorious Nazi on trial and Angelina Jolie's deeply personal dive into the world of French fashion led a busy Sunday of world premieres at the Toronto film festival. Crowe's depiction of the second-ranking Nazi, Hermann Goering, in "Nuremberg," as he plays a cat-and-mouse game with a psychiatrist (Rami Malek), drew an unusually lengthy standing ovation at North America's biggest movie fest. The movie, out in theaters in November and based on Jack El-Hai's book "The Nazi and the Psychiatrist," depicts Goering as a charming, smart and wily prisoner, while not shying away from the colossal evil in which he played a pivotal role. "You can't play a character like this and not walk away, at the end of the day, feeling things that maybe shake you about what went down," Crowe told journalists on the world premiere's red carpet. Crowe speaks German in parts of the film, depicting how Goering believed he could use the post-World War II Nuremberg trials to justify his actions on a global stage. The Oscar-winner signed up just after reading the script, in which he could see Goering's "ambition bloom" and "how his egotism told him that he could control the narrative." The movie contains devastating archive footage of Nazi concentration camp victims being bulldozed into their graves -- the same film reel that was shown in the real Nuremberg courtroom. Director James Vanderbilt said he asked his actors not to research the footage before they were confronted with it on the day the scene was filmed. Crowe's role was "a dark person to play -- that takes an emotional toll on an actor," Vanderbilt told AFP. "He was game for all of it, and I'm eternally grateful to him for that." In an early review, Deadline called the movie "unrelenting" and "enormously effective," praising Crowe's "stunning" performance. - 'Stitches' - Elsewhere at Toronto on Sunday, Angelina Jolie premiered "Couture," a drama focusing on some of the human stories behind the often superficial world of fashion. Set in Paris and coming from French director Alice Winocour, it follows an American filmmaker who is diagnosed with cancer as she prepares for a runway show, and told she needs a double mastectomy -- echoing Jolie's real-life health issues. "It's about couture -- in French, it means stitches," the actress told AFP. "So stitches, when you think of our surgeries, our bodies, the way our lives and stories are sewn together, you understand what the film is." The film does not yet have a release date. Meanwhile, Oscar-winning director Chloe Zhao walked the red carpet for "Hamnet," which colors in the gaps of the little we know about William Shakespeare and his wife, and a tragedy that inspired arguably his greatest work. "To see them fall in love and come together, be torn apart... it's an inner civil war that we all battle with as we grow and mature," she told AFP. The movie, starring Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley, hits theaters in November and is expected to be an Academy Awards contender. And at a Toronto press conference, stripper-turned-actor Channing Tatum said his performance in "Roofman," which tells the true story of a man who robbed dozens of McDonald's and hid out in a toy store, had helped him overcome "imposter syndrome." The film, out next month, recounts the life of Jeffrey Manchester, who robbed dozens of fast food stores through the 1990s, entering the restaurants through the roof. He famously built a secret hideout inside a Toys "R" Us store in the city of Charlotte, coming out after closure at night to wash in the bathroom, surviving largely on snack food like M&Ms. "For the very first time, maybe even on this movie, I feel like I've actually earned my seat at the table" with the role, Tatum said. The Toronto International Film Festival runs until next Sunday.

In a move that might disappoint campaigners against the Gaza war, the Venice jury under American director Alexander Payne did not reward "The Voice of Hind Rajab" with the Golden Lion.

A gentle study of dysfunctional families by veteran American director Jim Jarmusch clinched the top prize at the Venice Film Festival Saturday, while a harrowing docudrama about the Gaza war took second. Jarmusch's "Father Mother Sister Brother" starring Cate Blanchett, Adam Driver and Tom Waits, drew mostly positive reviews for its humorous portrayal of awkwardness and guilt. The "Broken Flowers" director, who wrote the script for three family get-togethers in upstate New York, Dublin and Paris, had called it "a kind of anti-action film". "Thank you for appreciating our quiet film," the 72-year-old said during his acceptance speech. In a move that might disappoint campaigners against the Gaza war, the Venice jury under American director Alexander Payne did not reward "The Voice of Hind Rajab" with the Golden Lion. Instead, the film about a five-year-old Palestinian girl killed by Israeli troops last year, which reduced many festival viewers to tears, was given the grand jury second prize. Franco-Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania produced a dramatised re-telling of Hind Rajab Hamada's ordeal after she was trapped in a car that came under fire while she and her relatives were fleeing Gaza City. It was the most talked-about movie on the Venice Lido and tipped by many as the likely winner after a 23-minute standing ovation at its premiere on Wednesday. Hind Rajab's story "is not hers alone", Ben Hania said as she accepted her award. "It is tragically the story of an entire people enduring genocide, inflicted by a criminal Israeli regime that acts with impunity," she added. Brad Pitt, Joaquin Phoenix and Oscar-winning directors Jonathan Glazer ("The Zone of Interest") and Mexico's Alfonso Cuaron ("Roma") joined the film as executive producers after editing had been completed. Jarmusch signalled his opposition to Israel's continued siege and bombardment of Gaza by wearing a badge saying "Enough" at the Venice awards ceremony. - Best actors - Elsewhere on Saturday, China's Xin Zhilei won the best actress award for her role in "The Sun Rises on Us All", directed by compatriot Cai Shangjun. The 39-year-old actress plays a woman trying to make amends with her former lover, who served time in prison for a crime she had committed. Italy's Toni Servillo won the best actor award after wowing audiences in Paolo Sorrentino's "La Grazia", playing an Italian president wrestling with whether to sign a euthanasia bill into law. Servillo was one of several award-winners to speak about Gaza from the stage, expressing "admiration" for activists on a flotilla of boats attempting to break Israel's siege of Gaza. They "have decided to set sail with courage to reach Palestine and to bring a sign of humanity to a land where human dignity is daily and cruelly demeaned", Servillo said. "Father Mother Sister Brother" is the first Jarmusch film to compete at Venice. Film bible Variety said it had his "trademark wry humor but also new notes of mellow, generous wisdom". Screen called it a "tender family triptych". In the secondary "Orizzonti" ("Horizons") section of the festival, gay Mexican truck driver drama "En el Camino" by David Pablos scooped the top prize. - Major platform - Critics were broadly positive about the line-up of films in Venice this year. The festival is an important launch platform for big-budget international productions and arthouse films. Several previous winners of the prestigious Golden Lion have gone on to Oscar glory, such as "Nomadland" and "Joker". "The Smashing Machine" by American director Benny Safdie, a touching film about late 1990s mixed martial-arts (MMA) pioneer Mark Kerr, picked up the third-place directing prize on Saturday. The Hollywood Reporter called the film starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson a "compellingly gritty and offbeat biopic", while Johnson was even tipped by some for a best actor award. "Sotto le Nuvole" (Below the Clouds), a sumptuous documentary about Naples by acclaimed Italian documentary maker Gianfranco Rosi, won a special jury prize. The Gaza conflict has been a major talking point throughout this year's festival. An open letter calling on festival organisers to denounce the Israeli government over its offensive in Gaza has been signed by around 2,000 cinema insiders, according to the organisers.

It's like a train didn't come through the side of the restaurant. A f***ing piano didn't fall out of the sky. No one ran into the room and shot me," he shared. Sheen's struggle with drugs and alcohol is not hidden from the world, and his addiction peaked in the late 2000s. In an interview with Good Morning America, the actor revealed that his sexual partners were used to blackmail him. “It did come with a tremendous amount of extortion,” Sheen shared on the show. “And so at the time, I was just like, ‘Alright, let’s just pay to keep it quiet. And just hope it just stays over there, make it go away, you know? Make it go away,” He shared. “They had videoed things or whatever, or had stuff over me,” he continued. The 60-year-old actor shared that it “held hostage” by his sexual partners. “I just need to be free of that... and then see how the world feels if people know that stuff,” he said of his decision to speak publicly. “Because I’ve written a story all these years about, ‘Oh jeez, if I ever reveal that, then this has to be how I’d be dealt with, how I’d be treated, how they’d feel,’” he shared. Directed by Andrew Renzi, the Netflix doc starts streaming from Sept 10.

<p><br>The finale of Wednesday season 2, part 2, is finally here, but for me, it wasn’t as satisfying as I had hoped. While I really enjoyed the pacing and intrigue of the first volume, part two didn’t manage to impress me in the same way or keep me fully hooked. At times, it even left me confused, trying to figure out which character was connected to whom, and what history was. The heavy focus on connections to the past has overshadowed what was happening in the present.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That said, part 2 of season 2 covers a lot, maybe too much. Still, one of the highlights for me was how well the supporting characters were given importance, exploring their story and even more than Wednesday herself. I did miss Uncle Fester’s (Fred Armisen), though; I kept expecting him to appear in the climax to save his detective niece.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When I started this season, I was eager to see how Wednesday would save her best friend, Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers). However, that storyline wrapped up by episode 6, after which the focus shifted to Principal Bot’s history, Isaac’s history, the Hydes, and much more. If you felt a little lost by the finale, don’t worry, we’ve broken it down clearly below.</p><h2>What happens in Wednesday season 2 part 2?</h2><p>The show picks up with our beloved Wednesday on a hospital bed, but she’s quick to dive back into the mysteries of Nevermore and regain her psychic visions to save her BFF! As she gets out of bed, there’s a surprise: the former Nevermore principal, Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie), who now appears as Wednesday’s spirit guide. Together, they set out to save Enid.<br>&nbsp;</p>

Still from Wednesday season 2

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>Wednesday’s biggest challenge comes in the form of Issac Night, also known as “the Slurp,” a zombie and former top student of Nevermore Academy, who was once Gomez Addams’s best friend. His only mission is to save his Hyde sister, Francoise Galpin (Frances O’Connor), a normie, and Tyler’s mother. Francoise eventually reunites with both her son and her brother in the second part of the story. Meanwhile, the dark secrets of the Addams family begin to unravel.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Meanwhile, Enid discovers that she’s an alpha werewolf. If she transforms under the full moon, she may never be able to return to human form. But to save Wednesday, she becomes a wolf and runs into the jungle. Whether Wednesday will find and save her is a mystery left for season 3. At the same time, Principal Dot, who was the mastermind behind Morning Song, kidnaps Bianca’s mother, Gabrielle (Gracy Goldman) and blackmails her into taking Hester Frump’s money.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In episodes five and six, the spotlight shifts to Wednesday and Enid, featuring a dramatic and colourful body swap, and even a guest appearance by Lady Gaga. (<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/lady-gaga-gothic-cameo-in-wednesday-season-2-what-s-her-character-and-episode-breakdown-1756906704164">Want to know more? Read it here</a>.) The final two episodes come to an ultimate showdown as Wednesday and the Addams family vs the Galpins and Issac Night. In the ultimate climax, Issac kidnaps Wednesday's brother, Pugsley Addams, and how the entire family comes to save their member, making a dramatic and eventful episode.</p>

<h2>Who is the zombie “Slurp” and his dark history with The Addams?</h2><p>When Pugsley dug the zombie out of the grave, he was not aware of his dark past with his family. And exactly who he is. In the second part, it has been revealed that the Zombie's brain and body are recovering as he eats a human brain. Soon it was revealed that Slurp is actually Isaac Night, a former Nevermore student, who was super-intelligent and also had a lab built for him, where he used to do his missions. One of his most important missions was to take out the Hyde powers from his sister, Francoise. And to do that, he makes a machine and a lot of energy that he takes from Gomez, his best friend. However, as it reveals that he will be taking his life, Morticia comes in and stops the experiment, during which an explosion happens and Issac dies. Then it was Morticia and Gomez, who actually buried him under the tree.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Back to the present day, he again continues the mission, and this time, he takes energy from Gomez's son, Pugsley. However, at the same time, the world got to know the origin story of Thing, who is actually Issac's hand, which was cut down.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>What happened to Tyler? Will he come back?</h2><p>As revealed in season 2, Tyler is not only a Hyde, but his mother was also one. After killing his master, Tyler is on the loose. But soon he reunites with his mother. However, he attacks her, and only her mother and uncle Issac try to get the Hyde out of him. Cut to the last episode, Tyler transforms into Hyde, and so does his mother. Both creatures get into a huge fight and, due to an explosion, in the end, they end up hanging on the terrace of the tower. However, Tyler tries to save Francoise, but she chooses to let go of his hand and dies.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Tyler is left with neither a mother nor a master. However, Miss Capri (Billie Piper), who is a wolf, offers to help Tyler, revealing that her father was also a Hyde. In the end, they pack up and leave together.</p><h2>What will Wednesday do during the summer break?</h2><p>As the second year at Nevermore wraps up, Wednesday refuses to go back home. Instead, she will search for her best friend Enid, who is now a werewolf. She has been gifted the journal of her Aunt Ophelia by her mother. She gets on her journey with Uncle Fester and Thing. Starts reading the journal, only to get a psychic vision that her aunt, who has been missing, is alive and in a dark place. Soon, we see her grandmother entering a secret passage to the same dark hall, where she has locked up her daughter. The show ends with Aunt Ophelia writing on the wall, “Wednesday must die.”</p>

Matthew Perry died of a Ketamine overdose in October 2023. The LA based drug dealer Jasveen Sangha is set to appear in court on Wednesday and plead guilty to five counts. 

Los Angeles-based drug dealer Jasveen Sangha, known as ‘Ketamine Queen’ will plead guilty to charges that she supplied a dose of the prescription anesthetic that killed Friends actor Matthew Perry in 2023. The 42-year-old has reportedly acknowledged in court documents that she ran a "stash house" for illegal narcotics. She reached an agreement with federal prosecutors last month to plead guilty to five felony counts stemming from Perry's overdose death in 2023. Will Ketamine Queen serve jail time? If sentenced, Sangha, who is a dual U.S.-British citizen, could face a prison term of up to 65 years. She is the last of the five suspects charged in the case to plead guilty rather than stand trial. Her four co-defendants - two physicians, Perry's personal assistant and another man who admitted to acting as an intermediary in selling ketamine to the actor - are also awaiting sentencing. Sangha has reportedly agreed to plead guilty to one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, and three counts of illegal distribution of ketamine, and one count of distributing ketamine to the actor, which led to his death. According to Sangha's plea agreement as outlined by the Justice Department, Sangha had supplied 51 vials of ketamine from her stash house to a go-between dealer, Erik Fleming, 55, who in turn sold the doses to Perry through his live-in personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, 60. How did Matthew Perry die? The Friends actor was found unresponsive at his home in a hot tub on October 28, 2023. He was 54 years old. Investigations indicated that Perry died from the acute effects of ketamine, which led to him losing his consciousness and drowning in the hot tub. Years ago, Perry had publicly acknowledged decades of substance abuse, including periods that overlapped with the height of his fame playing the sardonic but charming Chandler Bing on the 1990s hit show Friends. Known to her customers on the street as the ‘Ketamine Queen,’ according to prosecutors, Sangha had used her North Hollywood home as a "stash house" to store, package, and distribute various narcotics dating back to at least June 2019.
