Josh Hutcherson Is Liking What He Sees in the Mirror

Josh Hutcherson Is Liking What He Sees in the Mirror

Published by Jenni Sidey

“I got some heat because I did a photo shoot with Jordan, and Jordan asked me something about being a [Taylor Swift fan], and I was like, ‘Oh no, I’m definitely not a Swiftie,’” he says. He meant it as neither judgement nor critique. But on the internet, simple, honest opinions about the type of music you like are not allowed. “All of a sudden it garnered this, ‘Fuck him! He’s a monster! Destroy him! He’s short! He hates her because he’s short!’ [He is five feet five.] “It’s just like, whoa! I think she’s great. Her music is not my kind of music. That is why I don’t want to be online,” he says. “I don’t need that energy,” he adds, of internet idolatry. Being a TikTok star doesn’t lend itself to his brand of acting, anyway. “It’s counterintuitive to my job, because if people know you more, you can’t disappear into characters. They see you as, ‘Oh, that’s Josh.’ You know what I mean? So, if you’re a fucking meme, people know you …

Rebuilding review – Josh O’Connor’s hot streak comes to an end with this stilted drama

Rebuilding review – Josh O’Connor’s hot streak comes to an end with this stilted drama

Here’s a role where Josh O’Connor’s crumpled sweater charm feels ill-placed. He’s still reliably committed to his role in Max Walker-Silverman’s western drama Rebuilding, in which he plays the cowboyishly named cowboy Dusty, stuck in an emotional stasis after a wildfire wiped out his family’s Colorado ranch. But the genius of O’Connor’s work is that he plays gentility with a twist – sure, in Challengers’ (2024) tennis court ménage à trois, arrogance took the driver’s seat; but in Wake Up Dead Man (2025), La Chimera (2024), and The Mastermind (2025), he used his hangdog looks to disarm, to hide a blade or two up his sleeves. Yet you could easily spend all of Rebuilding’s runtime looking for that edge: Dusty represents the cowboy as the idealised hermit monk, a man vaguely bemused by iPads and home internet, …

Disney Layoffs Hit Studios, TV, ESPN Under New CEO Josh D’Amaro

Disney Layoffs Hit Studios, TV, ESPN Under New CEO Josh D’Amaro

Published by Daniella Wilson

Layoffs are hitting The Walt Disney Co., beginning Tuesday. CEO Josh D’Amaro, only a month into the job, informed staff of the cuts in a memo. A source familiar with the matter tells The Hollywood Reporter that around 1,000 jobs are expected to be eliminated. Cuts are expected in the company’s unified marketing organization under Asad Ayaz, which Disney announced in January, as well as in its studios and TV businesses, ESPN, product & technology, and certain corporate functions. The unified marketing structure brought all of Disney’s sprawling marketing apparatus, from films, TV and ESPN to streaming and theme parks, into one group. The company is said to be shifting more resources to other strategic priorities, especially given the rapid changes facing the entertainment business. “Over the past several months, we have looked at ways in which we can streamline our operations in various parts of the company to ensure we deliver the world-class creativity and innovation our fans value and expect from Disney,” D’Amaro wrote in his memo. “Given the fast-moving pace of our …

Josh Duhamel on Hollywood’s rising costs, life as a father in his 50s and the ‘mindf**k’ of doing it all

Published by Sam Flores

Away from film sets, Duhamel, who is based primarily in Minnesota, gravitates towards a simpler life away from Hollywood, spending time outdoors with his wife Audra Mari, 32, and growing family. He reflects: “Running around, exploring the woods, jet skiing, tubing… it’s just, it’s such a great way for them to just see… a simpler life.” Source link

How Josh Kline Wrote the Essay the Art World Can’t Stop Talking About

How Josh Kline Wrote the Essay the Art World Can’t Stop Talking About

Published by José Betancourt

In 2011, Andrea Fraser wrote that “what has been good for the art world has been disastrous for the rest of the world.” Fifteen years on, Fraser’s words still ring true. But finding the words for why is not always so easy, and maybe that is the reason a recently published essay on the subject, by artist Josh Kline, has taken the New York art world by storm, becoming the subject of social media posts issued by artists, critics, curators, and even dealers. Titled “New York Real Estate and the Ruin of American Art” and published by October, Kline’s essay is a despairing portrait of the city’s art scene. It functions both as an elegy for a lost New York art world of the 2010s—the one that raised Kline as an artist who became known for work about technology’s ability to exacerbate inequalities—and as a blistering critique of all the privilege required to find success here. The piece has gone viral, which is not something that happens often with October essays anymore. Related Articles “The …

Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen are now parents. Steinfeld announced on Substack Thursday that she and her husband, Josh Allen, have welcomed their first child, a daughter. “Our baby girl has arrived!!,” she shared in a post signed by her and Allen. “We’re feeling incredibly grateful and blessed and savouring these early moments. Thank you so much for the love and well wishes.” The news comes just a couple of weeks after the 29-year-old actress skipped the 2026 Oscars as she prepared to welcome her baby. Her Sinners co-star Michael B. Jordan gave her a shoutout during his best actor acceptance speech, thanking his cast members. “Hailee at home, she’s getting ready to have a baby right now. Thank you so much for being the other, other, other, half of Stack.” Sinners went on to win a total of four Oscars. In December, the couple announced they were expecting their first child per an Instagram video, in which Steinfeld showed off her baby bump while wearing a shirt that said “Mother” alongside the Buffalo Bills …

The actor, 53, who has largely refrained from speaking politically, made his stance on his peers sharing their beliefs clear during an appearance on Megyn Kelly’s conservative podcast show. “If you really want to be successful in this business, why would you make half of your audience despise you by your beliefs? Maybe they don’t care. I don’t know,” Duhamel said. Duhamel said that he has “real strong opinions about things,” but chooses not to talk about them: “It’s like, ‘Why would I alienate half my audience?’ Because I respect their views on things, but I’m not going to preach to them. “They can believe what they want to believe,” the Transformers star added. “I’m just here to, you know, make cool stuff.” Josh Duhamel said he …

Senators Elizabeth Warren and Josh Hawley Push for Data Center Energy Transparency

Senators Elizabeth Warren and Josh Hawley Push for Data Center Energy Transparency

Published by skeptic

In a bipartisan team-up, Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Republican Sen. Josh Hawley are demanding more transparency regarding the energy use of data centers.  The pair sent a letter to the Energy Information Administration on Thursday, urging the EIA to “establish a mandatory annual reporting requirement for data centers.” Wired reported the news earlier.  Data centers have become a major topic of debate, as tech giants like Amazon Web Services, Google, Meta and Microsoft continue to buy massive amounts of land to house artificial intelligence data centers. While some landowners are taking the payouts, others — like a Kentucky woman and her mother, who turned down $26 million to sell their land — are holding out because of their opposition to data centers. The interested buyer in Kentucky remains anonymous, but the landowner told WLKY they were described as a “major artificial intelligence company.” Not only do data centers need large plots of land for their infrastructure, but they also require substantial water and electricity to operate. The exact amounts are not always known, which is why the senators are urging …
