When the lights dimmed and the cameras flashed on Sunday night at the Beverly Hilton, the 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards delivered a blend of glamour, emotion, and theatricality that set social media alight and sharpened the focus on the season ahead. From bold fashion statements on the red carpet to speeches that mixed gratitude with candid reflection, this year’s ceremony was a vivid reminder that Hollywood’s storytelling power extends far beyond the screen—it thrives in the conversations that follow.

To a certain segment of Nickelodeon kids, Tylor Chase will forever be stuck in that caffeinated, rapid-fire stratosphere of early-2000s teenage comedy—a familiar face you’d immediately recognize, even if you didn’t know his name upon first glance. On Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, Chase played the perennially chipper Martin Qwerly, arriving onscreen in brief segments that injected the show with an electric jolt of energy, perfectly at home amid the show’s bright color palette and shenanigan-filled hallways. The details of Chase’s story, however, have since darkened considerably. In late 2025, the now 36-year-old was recorded living in the street of Riverside, California, sparking a wave of concern and empathy, as well as renewed public conversation about what happens after the cameras turn away.

Hollywood was stunned this week by a tragedy that has reverberated across the entertainment world and beyond: acclaimed filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead in their Brentwood, Los Angeles home in what authorities have ruled a homicide, and their son, Nick Reiner, has been charged with their murders. The full contours of the case are still emerging, and the story has unfolded with a mix of sorrow, disbelief, and widespread public reaction.

On Friday, December 12, a new name — or rather a new hero group — will be etched into the famous pink terrazzo of the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6801 Hollywood Boulevard. At the upcoming unveiling, the star won’t celebrate a singer or actor, but rather the often-unsung first responders of Los Angeles: the firefighters of the Los Angeles Fire Department. It’s an unprecedented recognition for a public service institution — and the spark that set it all in motion wasn’t a boardroom memo or a celebrity’s campaign, but a simple school assignment from hundreds of miles away.

Hollywood’s awards race snapped into focus this morning as the Golden Globes unveiled the 2026 nominations, instantly crowning Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another as the season’s early powerhouse. The counterculture epic led all films with nine nominations, including best motion picture (musical or comedy), best director, and acting nods for Leonardo DiCaprio and Chase Infiniti, with Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn appearing in the supporting categories. Jonny Greenwood’s score rounded out the film’s commanding presence.

Hollywood woke up to an earthquake this morning as Paramount Global—long considered the most precarious of the legacy studios—launched a stunning $108 billion hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, an audacious move designed not only to seize one of the industry’s crown jewels but to derail a rumored strategic partnership between Warner and Netflix. The filing, delivered with no warning, instantly transformed Paramount from underdog to aggressor, jolting studio lots, Wall Street, and the entire streaming landscape.

In a move that has stunned Hollywood, rocked Wall Street, and ignited a cultural firestorm, Netflix has announced its acquisition of Warner Bros., a merger so monumental that insiders are already calling it the most consequential entertainment deal of the century. The streaming giant, once dismissed as a mail-order DVD service, has now absorbed one of Hollywood’s most storied studios, effectively redrawing the boundaries of power in the global entertainment landscape.

In a gesture that bridges Hollywood nostalgia with Atlanta’s puppetry legacy, the family of Jim Henson has gifted a towering 12-foot statue of Kermit the Frog — dressed as Charlie Chaplin’s “Little Tramp” — to the Center for Puppetry Arts in Midtown Atlanta. This iconic piece, which stood for a quarter-century at the gates of The Jim Henson Company’s former Hollywood studio, will now greet visitors in a city proud of its own puppetry heritage.

Once more Hollywood Boulevard was turned into a glowing tapestry of light, sound and color. Crowds lined the sidewalks under the glittering neon marquees as marching bands, vintage cars, floats and all kinds of familiar faces passed in front of Hollywood's famous landmarks. These photos celebrate the spirit, the color and the sparkle of the 93rd Annual Hollywood Christmas Parade, a time-honored holiday tradition that unites the community and keeps some of Hollywood's old magic shining bright.

HOLLYWOOD — A bright Thursday morning on Hollywood Boulevard brought a deeply emotional tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman, whose star was unveiled on the Walk of Fame before a crowd of family, collaborators, and fans. Five years after his death, Boseman’s legacy was formally woven into Hollywood’s landscape with a ceremony that felt both reflective and triumphant.

HOLLYWOOD — Just months after its high-profile debut, the Tesla Diner in Hollywood is undergoing a major shake-up. The retro-futuristic restaurant — part diner, part Supercharger hub — will convert to a full-service model after reports of menu cutbacks, long wait times, and operational hiccups.

LOS ANGELES - Hollywood is heading back down the Yellow Brick Road. Leonardo DiCaprio, through his Appian Way banner, has signed on to produce a major new documentary exploring the creation, legacy, and cultural impact of the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz. Simply titled “Oz,” the feature-length documentary is set for a 2026 release and promises to shed new light on one of the most enduring films in American history.
