With the company eliminating his position as Senior EVP of Programming, where he had overseen daytime dramas “Days of our Lives” and “The Young and the Restless” since 2007, veteran Sony Pictures Television executive Steve Kent will be transitioning to become executive in charge of production at “The Young and the Restless.”
According to Deadline, which first reported Kent’s new role, other members of the Sony production team will take over his former responsibilities going forward. In related news, the outlet also reported that another Sony executive, Nina Lederman, would be exiting the company amid a production slowdown impacting Hollywood following last year’s monthslong dual strikes. Lederman, who joined Sony as the head of global scripted development and programming in 2018, will exit the company next month.

Glaive’s debut studio album, I Care So Much That I Don’t Care at All, is bound to make listeners feel a sense of unpleasant voyeurism, filled as it is with grim musings from the 18-year-old about suicide, fentanyl, and general teenage alienation, all slickly packaged for alternative-pop radio. On “Barbie Doll,” he at least appears aware of this development in his discography, admitting that he fears he’s becoming “a commodity.”
Glaive’s mumble rap-inspired voice is limited in range and quality, but the rough edges help capture his feelings of despondency and angst. On “Titziana,” he bitterly lashes out at an ex who betrayed him: “Fuck all the times you left me out to dry/I never got the chance to ask you why,” while “Are You Bipolar One or Two” describes the anxiety he’s experienced during his rise to fame. Glaive, who recently came out as bisexual,...

As a great lady once sang, what's love got to do with it? Everything, is usually the answer, and that certainly drives this week's episode of the Empire Podcast and, indeed, the new rom-com What's Love Got To Do With It, whose stars, Lily James and Shazad Latif, pop onto a laptop and have a Zoom chat with Chris Hewitt in which he makes a desperate pitch to become their agent, and leaves the Working Title screening room in a frightful state. And love — namely of a little green guy with big ears – drives The Mandalorian, which is gearing up to return to Disney+ on March 1, and Chris also sits down with Jon 'Favs' Favreau for an interview about the show, how to find a director for Star Wars, and working with Peter Falk.

Julianne Moore says someone in the film industry once made an inappropriate comment about her looks in a new interview with The Times.
The actress recalls, “Someone in the film industry said to me, ‘You should try to look prettier.’ I was like, ‘I don’t know if I can.’ Obviously, ours is a business where there is some physicality involved, but beauty and prettiness are subjective,” People reports.
Moore tells the paper how growing up, her red hair made her feel like an “outsider.”

The star continues, “Redheads are 2 of the global population. Nobody wants to feel like they’re in the minority, particularly as a young child.”
She adds, “Now, I feel very identified with my hair and freckles, but there’s still a part of me that would rather be a tanned blonde.
