Every day brings an onslaught of distracting news and controversies, and it's easy to forget yesterday's tragedy and simply move on to tomorrow's in a case of "disaster amnesia." This "flooding the zone," as Steve Bannon calls it, is intentionally designed to overwhelm people, so it's important to focus on the tangible problems we can all actually help. One of them is the catastrophic Los Angeles wildfires that destroyed more than 18,000 homes and structures, burned more than 57,000 acres of land, and killed at least 29 people. A new charity benefit, Multicon, is bringing together creative artists of all kinds to help raise money to rebuild homes and help people who are really in need. It's happening on Feb. 22 at The Preserve LA and you can get tickets and information here. You can find other ways to help at the bottom of the article.

Trapped in the Spotlight, the new Lifetime film about the tumultuous relationship of fictitious R&b singing duo Luscious, begins with a break-up.

On the cusp of releasing of their new album ‘Phoenix’, Lupita (Melyssa Ford) – the older, more seasoned performer – asks her boyfriend Marcel (Romaine Waite) to leak a story that Luscious is parting ways. This comes after Lupita sees younger member Neveah drinking to excess and making out with their manager Lenny (Glen Michael Grant) right before they take the stage.

With this slight bit of context, Lupita pulls the plug on not just the event, but the whole act. Just like that, Luscious is over.

The action picks up 15 years later: Lupita has retired from singing and has started a family with Marcel that includes pre-teen daughter Simone (Eden Cupid). Neveah, meanwhile, is still struggling to relaunch her music career, which means taking auditioning with up and...

Pinewood Unveils Revised Studios Expansion Proposal

Pinewood Group has revised its plans to expand its Buckinghamshire site and launched a new public consultation to discuss development options. While noting that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer recently called the site “the spiritual home of the British film industry,” Pinewood said proposals include additional stages and production facilities, alongside a new data center. This would use space to the south of the existing Pinewood Studios. Pinewood Group CEO David Conway said the “reduction in global content production, combined with rising construction costs and business rates,” had triggered the review of existing planning consent. The public consultation will take place on February 25-27. Along with Shepperton, Pinewood is a fable British studio, home to huge hits including Bond movies, Star Wars and Bridgerton.

Selena Gomez’s career took off as she took on the iconic role of Alex Russo in the beloved Disney Channel series “Wizards of Waverly Place” — and now she’s paying it forward with her TV brother David Henrie.

For years, the two friends would have wine nights and discuss what their characters would be up to as they grew up. “We kept talking about it!” Gomez tells Variety at the “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” premiere in Los Angeles.

“It was so organic. We never felt any pressure,” Henrie says. “The original fan should know there was never a mandate to be like, ‘We have to make this show, now’s the time to make the show.’ It just came to a point where we were like, ‘Maybe we got something here.'”

The two brought their revival idea to Disney and the full-fledged reboot, “Wizards Beyond,” received a 21-episode order for its first season.

Sports movies have unique coaches that inspire and entertain viewers beyond just wins and losses. Iconic coaches like Mr. Miyagi and Mickey Goldmill leave a lasting impact on the genre. Characters like Herb Brooks and Ken Carter tell powerful stories of unity and determination in the face of adversity.

The Paris 2024 Olympics may be over, but that doesn't mean that viewers can't get their sporting kicks elsewhere. Sports movies are one of the most unique genres out there, with their unique ability to inspire their viewers while also providing solid entertainment. However, a good sports movie is only as good as the coach within it. These coaches stand apart from more traditional movie mentors by not only being measured by their wins and losses, but by how they foster relationships with their students.

Whether they're coaching the underdogs, pioneering brave and unorthodox methods, or looking to impart their wisdom on the younger generation,...

No Disney Channel Original Movie had the masses soaring and flying in quite the same way as High School Musical.

Released in 2006, the original movie starred the likes of Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale at the very start of their careers. It was the sort of smash hit that launched a mega-successful franchise and that had a positive impact on their net worth.

Vanessa Hudgens and Monique Coleman, best known for their roles in High School Musical, recently reunited for the launch of Hudgens' new beverage line. Hudgens has taken on more mature and gritty roles in movies like Spring Breakers and Gimme Shelter, but she returned to her musical roots in Grease Live! Coleman embraced her Disney roots with projects like A Christmas Dance Reunion and her return to High School Musical in the spin-off series.

Actor Vanessa Hudgens reunites with her High School Musical best friend Monique Coleman 15 years after the trilogy's release. Premiering on the Disney Channel in 2006, Kenny Ortega's musical-comedy became one of the biggest pop culture phenomenons of the 2000s.

By the time the clock reads 5 a.m., Pamela Hall has had her cup of coffee, said a prayer over her team of stylists, and filled the hair trailer with the sounds of gospel music. These elements kick off Hall’s full and rewarding day as the head of hair department for “The Other Black Girl,” the new Hulu series that premieres September 13.

Tapping into her background working in the hair salon world from 2000 to 2015, Hall wanted the set’s hair trailer to be a safe, sacred environment akin to a Black beauty shop, a community hub where Black women gather for a sense of liberation, vulnerability, and empowerment.

“Since we were the first stop for our actors, I wanted them to relax, clear their minds, and only focus on what they need to focus on,” said Hall. “I didn’t want them feeling an ounce of stress. If they...

This week, the final season of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series premiered on Disney+.

Unfortunately, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens didn't join their co-stars from the original movies to make a cameo on the spinoff.

The group also resurrected their High School Musical roles as Chad Danforth, Taylor McKessie, Ryan Evans, Coach Jack Bolton, Ms. Darbus, and Martha Cox, respectively.

The returning faces popped up at East High to shoot High School Musical 4.

The Disney+ extension of the popular movie musical trilogy concluded this week with an eight-episode fourth season that found its cast performing a stage — or rather, basketball court — production of 2008’s “High School Musical 3: Senior Year.” Members of that film’s original cast returned to East High to shoot the fictional “High School Musical 4: The Reunion.”
