‘Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!’ Author Teams Up With Stampede and RedBird to Launch Entertainment Company

Only nine directors have ever won the Palme d’Or twice. Francis Ford Coppola did it in the ’70s with The Conversation and Apocalypse Now. Ruben Östlund joined the club last year after following The Square with Triangle of Sadness. But this year, there is a very real possibility that, at 86, Ken Loach may go above and beyond that by winning a third Palme for his new film, The Old Oak. Loach first won in 2006 with the historical Irish drama The Wind That Shakes the Barley, then doubled up in 2016 with I, Daniel Blake, a caustic study of Britain’s healthcare crisis. After that came Sorry, We Missed You, a no-less withering look at the punitive gig economy. Like the latter two films, The Old Oak is set in the North East of England and completes an unofficial trilogy, this time with a slightly more optimistic bent. Like all of Loach’s output since 1996, it was written by Paul Laverty, and the pair sat down with Damon Wise to discuss the film’s themes of humanity and social responsibility.

is taking aim at the show's namesake. On part one of the Bravo series' highly-anticipated reunion special, much of the cast pushed back at Lisa Vanderpump for appearing to side with Tom Sandoval.The first episode of the reunion came amid Scandoval, the fan-made name for the months-long affair Sandoval had with Raquel Leviss during his nine-year-long relationship with Ariana Madix.Vanderpump entered the «much-needed» reunion prepared to «sort it out» and get to the truth, even complimenting Madix's «revenge dress.» Later in the reunion, though, Vanderpump pushed back at a couple of comments Madix made.When host Andy Cohen asked if a lack of intimacy played a role in the deterioration of Madix and Sandoval's relationship, Madix replied, «No, I think he caused the divide in the relationship because he was f**king other people.»Vanderpump noted that «other people» implies more than just Leviss, and Madix insisted, «He's f**ked more than Raquel.»Later, Vanderpump's business relationship with Sandoval came up, and Cohen asked Madix if that continued relationship would cause her to cut off contact with the matriarch.«We just won’t be as close,» Madix said, as a shocked Vanderpump exclaimed, «Hold on a second! What do you expect me to do?»Vanderpump went on to point out her long-term support of Madix, but Madix insisted she'd have a hard time confiding in Vanderpump in the future.

Not holding back! Ariana Madix revealed a heated conversation with Raquel Leviss during part one of the Vanderpump Rules reunion.  

Alison Herman TV Critic All awards shows are arbitrary, and none more so than the Emmys, for which voters must select a handful of nominees and winners from an ocean of worthwhile television. The shows on this list, arranged alphabetically, represent just a small sampling of the series that deserve recognition from the TV Academy, and while some are more likely to receive an official nod than others, all are worth viewers’ precious time. In its first season, “Abbott” became the increasingly rare broadcast sitcom to resonate with both audiences and critics.

On Monday, the  star was spotted moving boxes out of the home she owns with her ex, Tom Sandoval, following his cheating scandal with Raquel Leviss.Madix was dressed casually for the big day, wearing leggings, sneakers and a sweatshirt as she carried boxes to a moving truck.She posted about the move on her Instagram Story, smiling as she posed in front of her boxes.

“This is not exactly the show we expected to do today,” said Warner Bros Discovery ad boss Jon Steinlauf in opening his company’s second Upfronts presentation as a merged company.

SPOILER ALERT: The story includes details about the two-part Season 19 finale of Grey’s Anatomy, “Wedding Bell Blues” and “Happily Ever After?”

William Earl After months of relative silence on #Scandoval, “Vanderpump Rules” star Ariana Madix has opened up about the cheating scandal that rocked reality television. For the uninitiated, Madix’s nearly decade-long relationship with co-star Tom Sandoval blew up in March when it was revealed he had been having a months-long affair with her best friend and their mutual co-star, Raquel Leviss. A recently taped new finale for the series’ 10th season — which addresses how the friend group reacted to learning about the affair — aired on May 17, and was followed by Madix’s first sit-down interview on the topic with Andy Cohen on his “Watch What Happens Live” show.

, in which the is finally exposed to the rest of the cast, reports began flooding in that Sandoval and Leviss had already broken up. However, Sandoval-aligned insiders now insist that there could be no break-up because there was never an official relationship. This seems like a pretty philosophical way of defining “breakup” and “relationship” but sure, Jan. “Tom and Raquel never put a label on their relationship to begin with,” a source told on May 17.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Perhaps you saw the gossip-site reports coming out of the Lovers & Friends Festival in Las Vegas last weekend: Allegedly, Chris Brown and Usher had gotten into some kind of tiff backstage during Missy Elliott’s set. The two singers went on to… Wait a minute. There was a Missy Elliott show? Stop the presses … this seemed like a case of burying the lead, as they say in news circles. Hip-hop fans knew what the real headlines should have been on that story: A unicorn had been sighted during a full solar eclipse, as Halley’s comet made a rare pass over Brigadoon — or other metaphors to that effect — if Elliott was being sighted back on a stage. Something slightly rarer still occurred Tuesday night in southern California’s Inland Empire: a stand-alone headlining show by Elliott. As one tweeter put it: “Why Yaamava’ Theatre?” — wondering, reasonably, why Elliott was following her festival appearance not with a full tour or, say, a night or two at the Hollywood Bowl, but a one-off gig at a 2,500-seat theater at a casino-resort at least an hour outside of L.A. in off-the-beaten-track Highland? The Vegas festival and subsequent casino concert are it, as far as what’s on Elliott’s public itinerary following the news of her impending Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction. The last time she did anything like a standard tour was 13 years ago, and since then, Elliott might not have done much more than a dozen full sets, almost all of them at festivals, none in theaters. So no wonder the cheapest tickets on the day of the show for her SoCal appearance were going for $500-plus.
