Gersh, which ranks as the lone privately-owned full service agency, makes the move amid consolidation and rapid ground-shifting in the representation landscape.

John Hopewell Chief International Correspondent Rodrigo Santoro – Hector in “Westworld,” Xerxes in “300”– leans forward in his chair during a Zoom interview almost touching the screen, such is his excitement. “It’s absolutely extraordinary, the accomplishment. What they did, what this man did. The mission seemed completely impossible.” Santoro is talking about Ferdinand Magellan, whom he plays in Prime Video’s “Boundless,” directed by Simon West (“Con Air,” “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider”), also starring Alvaro Morte, the Professor in “Money Heist,” and ZDF Studios and RTVE’s banner title at this year’s Mipcom. West calls the series his “passion project.” For anybody interested in the Age of Discovery, Magellan’s circumnavigation of the world, completed by Basque Juan Sebastián Elcano, is the voyage of voyages, the greatest feat in maritime history, writes historian

Harry and Sandra Redknapp's marriage is a love story that has captivated the nation's hearts. And in their new autobiography, When Harry Met Sandra, the former footballer and his infamous beloved wife Sandra tell all on their 54 year marriage and their journey as parents. One notable moment in the book, during the chapter A wedding in Bermuda, Sandra opened up on her son Jamie's marriage to former daughter-in-law Louise Redknapp.
Jamie Redknapp married Frida Andersson back on October 21 last year at Chelsea Town Hall in front of their friends and family, including Jamie's parents Harry Redknapp and Sandra Redknapp. And speaking in their new book, When Harry Met Sandra, the mum of two, 75, detailed her 48 year old son's intimate wedding day, where she recalls how happy the couple looked as they cut into their wedding cake. Sandra said: "Jamie and Frida’s wedding was a small ceremony with just 30 close family and friends including Charley and Beau, Mark and Lucy, and Frank and Christine.
Kate Aurthur editor The cold open of the Sept. 28 Season 3 premiere of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” featured at the bottom of this post harks back to a more innocent time for the Bravo cast members — before it then reveals how their lives and friendships have exploded during the show’s run. The scene begins in December 2019 with the first confessionals the women filmed for the show’s freshman season, as they introduce themselves, and present their relationships to other cast members. Jen Shah — who in July of this year pleaded guilty to criminal fraud charges, and will be sentenced (likely to prison) in November — attempts to explain her job, which she calls “direct response marketing.” As the audience now knows, Shah was in fact — as she’s now admitted — a high-up figure in a telemarketing scheme that defrauded tons of (often elderly) people. She was arrested during the filming of Season 2, practically on camera. And as Shah protested her innocence, the second season made much hay of her legal issues.
Sarah Michelle Gellar shared a first look at her Wolf Pack character Kristin Ramsey, a chief arson investigator who she describes as a “hard person to crack” with plenty of secrets of her own.
When I think of faux leather outfits the first thing that springs to mind is stylish models going out for drinks, probably not for dinner as the material notoriously doesn't have the most stretch to it.

Matt Donnelly Senior Film Writer After a year of pandemic-related delays, the Barcelona-born music festival Primavera Sound finally made it to Hollywood. With three days of programming at the Los Angeles Historic Park last weekend, nestled next to Chinatown, Primavera mounted three formidable stages in Los Angeles for the first time — with a diverse lineup led by Lorde, Nine Inch Nails and Arctic Monkeys. Despite an initial crush of will call ticket holders queuing for nearly half a mile, the Primavera campus felt full but never oppressive. The majority 45-minute set pieces were seamlessly coordinated and, by design, offered something for everyone (a must for the eclectic taste of the area).
Matt Donnelly Senior Film Writer Last week’s Emmy awards saw big winners gush with gratitude over their agents, managers, and audiences, but there was one notable benefactor to many stars that went unthanked: the injectable drug semaglutide, whose brand name is Ozempic. The drug is an insulin regulator for the pre-diabetic, made by the Danish pharma juggernaut Novo Nordisk, whose primary side effect is dramatic weight loss. It has saturated the industry in recent months, helping the beautiful and wealthy shed extra pounds in the never-ending Los Angeles pastime of optimizing appearances. Hollywood nutritionist Matt Mahowald tells Variety that the chief benefits of the injections are “moderating and pulling back insulin secretion, and slowing down your stomach from emptying. It promotes satiation from food.”
