Golden Globes to become for-profit entity after handover to Eldridge Industries
Golden Globes is now a for-profit entity controlled by US billionaire Todd Boehly. The scandal-hit group Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) is undergoing a drastic change in order to “save the annual Golden Globe Awards”. The annual awards show will now be handled by Eldridge Industries, according to Variety. For the first time in decades, the annual awards show went untelevised this year amid criticism for the HFPA’s lack of diversity.

Their latest move to hand over all assets and rights to the intellectual property of Golden Globes to Eldridge is said to be a “step forward to transform and adapt to the increasingly competitive economic landscape for both awards shows and the journalism marketplace.” Eldridge will create a new private company after it acquires all rights…

Olivia Rodrigo has “no immediate plans” to return to ‘High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.’ The 19-year-old pop star started her career in the starring role of Nini Salazar-Roberts on the Disney+ series back in 2019 before being propelled to global success with the release of her song ‘drivers license’ in two years later and according to showrunner Tim Federle, she will not be a “huge part” of the show in the future. He said: “I would never say never to Olivia, and I would never use the word ‘last,’ because I hope the show goes on and on and on and we get like a [Grey’s Anatomy] ‘Patrick Dempsey on the beach with Ellen Pompeo’ moment 17 seasons later.

Ana de Armas: There’s no need for female James Bond
Ana de Armas, who played mysterious Paloma in Daniel Craig’s final outing as 007 in No Time to Die, said she instead wants to see more substantial, deeper roles for women in the spy franchise. Amid calls from some for Daniel’s Bond replacement to be of the opposite sex, she said, “There’s no need for a female Bond. There shouldn’t be any need to steal someone else’s character, you know, to take over. This is a novel, and it leads into this James Bond world and this fantasy of that universe where he’s at. What I would like is that the female roles in the Bond films, even though Bond will continue to be a man, are brought to life in a different way. That they’re given a more substantial part and recognition. That’s what I think is more interesting than flipping things.” Fans have been calling for a film spin-off for…
