Ed Sheeran addresses the controversy surrounding Macklemore’s removal from his tour and says, “What is happening in Gaza is catastrophic and unjustifiable.” “Before I play some songs tonight, I hope it’s okay if I say a few words about this last week,” Sheeran said at the top of Saturday’s show. “I’m used to my music being criticized, and I’m always happy to take that because I’m lucky. A lot of you like my stuff, and to be honest, I’m surprised. I’m not surprised that I’ve even done it. You know, it’s normal. But this week, the criticism was about something much more important, and I’ve had to take and make difficult decisions, and I am making mistakes, and I’m so so sorry.” Sheeran also said he was “appalled by the conflict between Israel and Palestine,” describing the suffering caused by the war as a “human tragedy,” while explaining that he has generally sought to keep his concerts focused on “unity, joy, escapism, love” rather than his own political views. https://variety.com/2026/music/news/ed-sheeran-addresses-macklemore-on-stage-philadelphia-show-1236869614/

EXCLUSIVE: Netflix has announced "The New Stanford Prison Experiment," an unscripted series streaming Oct. 21. "Thirty willing participants enter a real prison and are randomly assigned as guards or prisoners. Thrust into a system of power, hierarchy, and control, they’ll discover whether ordinary people inevitably conform to the roles they’re given—or whether empathy, morality, and individuality can withstand the forces pushing them in the opposite direction. As the pressure builds and the balance of power begins to shift, the central question feels more urgent than ever: Does power corrupt?" https://wp.me/pc8uak-1lHKzp

Ryan Reynolds says ’80s nostalgia “paves over all the trauma” of the “tumultuous” decade: “The 80s was a brutal, brutal time for people. It was a fucking mess and people forget that. It was a tremendous strife. Socio political tensions everywhere. We were still pretty fresh off a Cuban missile crisis, which was only 15-20 years before. It’s a tumultuous period, but you look back at it now and you’re like, ‘Oh, yeah. ‘Top Gun.’ Cocaine!’ Like, ‘No!’ It was really scary.” In Apple TV’s “Mayday,” Reynolds stars as a U.S. Navy pilot who builds an unlikely friendship with an eccentric ex-KGB agent (Kenneth Branagh) obsessed with ’80s American culture. http://wp.me/pc8uak-1lHH16

"One Night Only" director Will Gluck says it's "100%" true that Gen Z and Gen Alpha don’t want to see sex on screen: "I went through this on two movies. I have long pages of empirical data about it. The only thing is I don’t think it’s just Gen Z and Gen Alpha. I believe it’s been a societal shift from taking nudity in adult situations and putting them on your phones at home for everybody. Now it’s more of a private, intimate thing that people don’t want to see when they’re in a shared experience. Whenever people now see nudity or very adult situations in a big theater, they get uncomfortable." https://variety.com/2026/film/features/one-night-only-director-removed-nudity-1236827870/

The Gaza documentary “NAZA” earned a massive 24.5-minute #VeniceFilmFestival ovation as the crowd cheered and waved Palestinian flags. This marks the longest-ever standing ovation at Venice, beating the 22-minute ovation for “The Voice of Hind Rajab” last year, and perhaps the longest at any film festival, period. The new documentary was shot at night on the rooftops of Tel Aviv and shows “in detail the systems behind Israel’s calculated mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza,” per an official synopsis. Abraham and Szor interviewed 24 Israeli military intelligence officers and soldiers — all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity — who were involved in the surveillance or remote killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Their appearance and voices were digitally altered to disguise their identities. https://variety.com/2026/film/festivals/naza-venice-premiere-gaza-documentary-ovation-1236843669/

Sarah Paulson says she didn't get many movie offers after "The People v. O.J. Simpson," despite sweeping all five major television awards for her role as Marcia Clark: "Sterling K. Brown and Courtney B. Vance both got big movies after 'O.J.' and I did not, and the only thing I can attribute it to is that I’m a woman, and I was a woman of a certainly age already then — I was 41 — and I was playing a woman who was not hyper-sexualized and a character who potentially was —depending on how it hit you — unlikable." https://variety.com/2026/film/features/sarah-paulson-closing-night-tiff-oscar-ryan-murphy-pedro-pascal-american-horror-story-1236859369/

Hunter Schafer has undergone gender-affirming bottom surgery. “I just had bottom surgery in December, which was amazing, and I love it so much,” Schafer told Elle magazine. “For a long time I’ve embraced the gender-expansive part of myself, and I really wanted to try to make that previous body work, because I thought there was something really cool and badass about it.” Schafer described the ability to evolve as the “magical thing about queerness... on an ideological level, it’s about possibility and expansion and growth, and being on that journey and finding yourself.” While she had always viewed her gender identity as more fluid, she has now landed somewhere “flatter,” adding: "I’m a woman. I’m a girl." https://variety.com/2026/film/news/hunter-schafer-bottom-surgery-1236916742/
