In the music industry, few relationships have been as pivotal as that between Justin Bieber and his longtime manager, Scooter Braun. The talent manager was lucky enough to discover the singer when he was just 13 years old and guided him from being a YouTube sensation to becoming an international superstar.

Throughout Bieber’s turbulent career, marked by ups and downs, Braun was often seen as the steady hand, helping the young singer navigate fame. Now with news coming out that the 30-year-old was targeted by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, it looks like the young star thankfully had a shoulder to lean on.

Fans from all around the world were left devastated and heartbroken after learning of the tragic death of Liam Payne at only 31. This stood especially true for all the hardcore Directioners worldwide who were still holding onto the flicker of hope of seeing One Direction band members Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, and Payne reunite once again.

But while that’s that, what further seems to be deepening the pain and loss of it all are some of the songs these heartthrobs made together and individually after embarking on their solo careers. Styles’ As It Was, for one, is hitting much differently after Payno’s passing away as the singer shared his mental health struggles through the song, and how he was seemingly suffering alone.

Image Source: Shout Factory When future Oscar winner Kathryn Bigelow made Point Break in 1991, she had a pair of stars who were both on hot streaks: Patrick Swayze with Dirty Dancing, Road House, and Ghost; and Keanu Reeves with his two successful Bill & Ted films. Pairing them for an action movie set against the world of surfing turned out to be a brilliant move, as the movie turned out to be an enduring hit that long ago entered a second life as a cult classic. We once talked with Swayze about the film — he wasn’t shy about taking risks during his lifetime, but even he was shaken by some of the surfing scenes he filmed for the movie. (Click on the media bar below to hear Patrick Swayze) https://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Patrick_Swaywe_Point_Breal_surfing.mp3

After Ghost of Tsushima‘s huge success, it was evident that we were closing into a sequel. That is why Ghost of Yotei was announced in the recently concluded PlayStation’s State of Play. The developers again have remained faithful to all the previous assumptions, as players will once again put their feet in the shoes of a samurai, traversing through Japan.

However, this time fans will be going beyond the story of Jin Sakai and the Tsushima island. The game will have a new protagonist and a new location as well in feudal Japan of the 17th century. Huge hype surrounding the game is surging day by day. But this time, the Ghost franchise might be setting its feet out of the traditional Japanese setting.

In the early nineties, Tom Cruise was at a crossroads in his career. As he approached thirty, the time was fast approaching when he could no longer play the kind of “cool young guy” role that had made his eighties movies such huge successes. Indeed, the formula was starting to wear thin, with Days of Thunder underperforming at the U.S. box office. His follow-up, Far and Away, performed even worse, landing with a thud at the North American box office, despite it re-teaming Cruise with his now wife Nicole Kidman, whose career was starting to take off. It was time for Cruise to tweak the kind of movies he was making, and sure enough, his next film, A Few Good Men, would kick off a streak of 5 back-to-back $100 million hits, which would make him the most bankable actor in the world.

‘Thunderbolts*’ is undoubtedly one of the most highly anticipated upcoming projects in the MCU. The film is set to introduce a team akin to DC’s Suicide Squad, featuring former villains and anti-heroes who are presumably on a more redeeming path within the MCU.
Additionally, the movie will introduce Sentry, one of Marvel’s most powerful characters, portrayed by Lewis Pullman.
So far, not much is known about the plot of the movie, except that it’s going to gather former villains and anti-heroes. Valentina Allegra de Fontaine played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus is going to be at the center of it all with her own, presumably shady, motives.
Walt Disney blog recently released an official synopsis for the movie, and it sounds suspiciously like it was written by Deadpool with plenty of tongue-in-cheek references and snappy self-degrading humor:

Demi More has recently opened up about what visits with her ex-husband Bruce Willis are like amid his dementia diagnosis. She shared an update about the actor’s health at a film festival over the weekend. Continue reading to see what she revealed.
Demi Moore Speaks Out About Bruce Willis’ Condition
On Sunday, October 13, Demi Moore was honored with the Career Achievement in Acting Award at the Hamptons International Film Festival. During the festival, there was a live discussion where Demi spoke about her ex-husband Bruce Willis, and the state of his health.
In the spring of 2022, Bruce Willis was diagnosed with aphasia, which later progressed to frontotemporal dementia (Ftd). Since then, he has been largely out of the spotlight. He was recently spotted out and about, but he requires people to be with him at all times to ensure he’s okay.

If you’ve got an old video with P Diddy in it, the internet wants to see it. If you’ve got one of him and new dad Justin Bieber, the internet will turn it into a goldmine.
After a video of P Diddy saying Usher has given him Justin Bieber for “48 hours” was unearthed, another, even more slightly concerning, one has made its way back to current circulation.

Justin Bieber has been the one name that comes up almost everytime P Diddy is mentioned these days.

Critics are calling Demi Moore‘s turn in “The Substance” a career-best performance as Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-lister past her prime and drawn to the opportunity presented by a mysterious new drug. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn – temporarily – as the gorgeous, twentysomething Sue (Margaret Qualley). The only rule? Time needs to be split: exactly one week in one body, then one week in the other. No exceptions. Easy, right?
The satirical horror film was written, directed and co-produced by Coralie Fargeat, and is now Mubi’s biggest box office hit ever, grossing over $10 million stateside and nearly $20 million worldwide. Those numbers may sound like chump change after pundits referred to “Joker: Folie à Deux’s” $37 million opening as “a flop,” but the indie movie from Mubi had a much smaller budget and puts the distributor on the map like never before.
IndieWire calls it “An instant horror classic.

This most recent installment of Chicago Fire really got me right where it hurts, and the hits kept coming for the whole hour.
On Chicago Fire Season 13 Episode 3, there were several intense storylines playing out parallel to one another.
We’re breaking down the episode from Severide’s arson investigation to the tension between Carver and Violet and everything in between.
(NBC/Peter Gordon) Everybody Loves Love
Relationships were a big theme of the hour, and the episode kicked off with a quick Stellaride scene.
I was pretty confident that Stella wasn’t going to hold it against Kelly that he knew about what Damon did, but the confirmation was nice.
It was only a brief moment between the couple, but it was enough to remind us that they truly face things as a team.

Spoiler Alert: The following reveals major plot points from Starz‘s Power Book II: Ghost series finale.
When the Starz drama series Power Book II: Ghost introduced the character of Noma in Season 3, no one could’ve guessed her impact on the show’s characters — not even Caroline Chikezie, who brought the character to life.
In the male-dominated industry of drugs, guns and all things illegal, it’s rare to have a woman create the level of chaos that men do, but to surpass it is quite a feat. And Ghost had two women in the business making men quake: Noma and day-one baddie Monet, played by Mary J. Blige.
“Could you imagine if they had teamed up instead of fighting each other?” Chikezie said of Noma and Monet during a recent chat with Deadline about the show’s finale.

[This story contains spoilers from the Power Book II: Ghost series finale.]
On the very first episode of Power created by Courtney Kemp and executive produced by rapper-turned-tv mogul Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson back in June 2014, there was no way of knowing that the kid in the nice penthouse apartment asking his mother Tasha (Naturi Naughton) if his father James St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), who spoke fluent Spanish, could “hook up” his Spanish homework as she served breakfast was on his way to becoming a drug kingpin. At that point, the young Tariq didn’t even know his father was himself a kingpin known on the streets as Ghost (Hardwick). And that his mother also knew. Michael Rainey Jr. was just a few months from turning 14. Now a decade later, just over a week after turning 24, he’s closed out another series.
When Power Book II: Ghost premiered Sept. 6, 2020, the pandemic had put the whole country and world on a life-turning timeout.

After Ghost of Tsushima‘s huge success, it was evident that we were closing into a sequel. That is why Ghost of Yotei was announced in the recently concluded PlayStation’s State of Play. However, this time fans will be going beyond the story of Jin Sakai and the Tsushima island.

The game will have a new protagonist and a new location as well in feudal Japan of the 17th century. Huge hype surrounding the game is surging day by day. There is another game by FromSoftware that is also based on Japanese history. However, there is a catch that might keep the Sucker Punch title ahead.

Although we’ve come to the end of the road, I just can’t let go.
Sorry, don’t mind me. I’m just singing very loudly in my Wanya Morris voice because I can’t believe this day has come. We’ve come to the end of another Power chapter.
Power Book II: Ghost Season 4 Episode 10 has come and gone, and that’s it. The First Power spinoff is officially done.

Not to make this about me, but whenever a show ends that you’ve covered from start to finish, you get in your feelings a little bit.
From exclusive interviews to reviews, I’ve been with this show through it all, and for it to suddenly just be over? Well, it’s an odd feeling that’s for sure.
I was more excited than sad when Power Book II: Ghost Season 4 began. When you know that a series is ending,...

Spoiler Alert: The following reveals major plot points from the series finale of Starz’s Power Book II: Ghost.
After four short seasons, Starz’s Power Book II: Ghost is officially over following tonight’s series finale titled “Ghost in the Machine.” This won’t be a recap of the episode as we will be breaking all that down tomorrow with two of the show’s biggest stars, but rather it’s to discuss Tariq St. Patrick’s (Michael Rainey Jr.) Marvel moment, if you will, at the end of the episode following the credits.
Baby Ghost, as Tariq is often referred to, lives to see another day and with that, there was a tease that more Power is ahead. That says to me they can continue telling stories through Tariq in a new show set in present day. Add to that the upcoming series finale of Power Book IV: Force,...

Is anyone else fanning themselves after watching Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 Episode 2?
The hour was teeming with tension, and not just the bad kind.
While some of the doctors focused on finding their place at Grey Sloan Memorial, others got caught up in a proverbial heatwave that swept through the hospital.

Before we get to the juicy stuff, though, we have to talk about Catherine and the giant rain cloud she’s living under these days.
Look, I get it. Cancer is horrific. I’d be in a terrible mood too, and Catherine deserves the space she needs to have all her feelings about it.
But at a certain point, it stops being an excuse to treat everyone around you like garbage.
Between the cancer and the immense power she wields, everyone walks on eggshells around Catherine,...

It’s Singles Week on Doctor Odyssey Season 1 Episode 2! And you know what that means?
Lots of people were looking to get it on, and Lots of people were passing out.
Seriously, people were dropping left and right. Between this week and Doctor Odyssey Season 1 Episode 1, why is this cruise so popular?
(Disney/Tina Thorpe)
After a rocky start, Max, Avery, and Tristan found their groove with one another relatively quickly, and they didn’t really have a choice considering how fast and furious the emergencies happen on that ship.
One of the big questions coming out of the premiere was people wondering how many emergencies are seen on cruise ships. And are there really whole surgeries taking place while people are above deck doing Zumba in the pool and gorging on overpriced and under-seasoned prime rib?
Reviews have been mixed about how much that medical bay on a cruise...

The Big 3 shonen manga, namely Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece, are arguably the most iconic and influential trio in the entertainment industry, period. Their impact goes way beyond the realm of anime, influencing and captivating a vast global audience.

Despite the long list of 366 episodes, Bleach was the first among the Big Three to be concluded, leaving many viewers to view it as an inferior series. Regardless, Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War is currently making waves online despite the long anxious delay of 10 years. Although Tybw had one of the grandest returns, Tite Kubo is now facing criticism for his portrayal of female characters, but fans of One Piece and Naruto have no room to comment, as both series follow a similar narrative approach.

With just a few weeks to go until the release of ‘Venom: The Last Dance,’ this film holds great significance for the franchise as it marks its final installment. It will also introduce Knull, one of Marvel’s most formidable villains.
All films in the ‘Venom’ franchise are set within the Sony Spider-Man Universe (Ssu). Although they feature characters from Marvel comics, they are not part of the MCU due to the complex rights situation surrounding Spider-Man between Sony and Disney/Marvel.
It’s been a long-running joke that Sony’s Spider-Man Universe lacks Spider-Man himself, but this may be changing. ‘Madame Web’ introduced Uncle Ben and Peter’s mother within the Ssu, and now it appears that ‘Venom 3’ will introduce a young Peter Parker.

Assassin’s Creed: Codename Invictus is an upcoming multiplayer installment in the Assassin’s Creed series. A multiplayer Assassin’s Creed game indeed sounds exciting but given how Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been loaded with controversies, it doesn’t sound like a great idea.

Some sources claim that it will be a Fall Guys-like game. It’s no secret that major publishers nowadays are trying to do what’s trending. Sony for example, spent $400 million on Concord and it turned out to be a massive letdown so, maybe Ubisoft is also heading down that path, but in this case, Ubisoft might not be able to afford to lose that much money.

In the early 2000s, when the anime industry was rising, it witnessed an unprecedented experiment in dubbing that left a stamp on localization practices. The Japanese series Ghost Stories was given new life through a controversial English dub that pushed the boundaries of creative licenses to their absolute limits.

The Ghost Stories dub, produced by Adv Films, became a cautionary tale for Funimation about the importance of oversight in localization. Even then, the series has been a truly one-of-a-kind anime that turned into an unforgettable so-bad-it’s-good classic, primarily because of gigs, bad language, and humor that made for both fans and non-fans.
A Blank Cheque for Ghost Stories Creativity
The original series had already performed poorly in Japan, and its plot and unremarkable animation offered very little appeal to Western audiences. In a bid to salvage the project, Adv made an unusual decision...

Starz teased “no one is safe” ahead of the second half of Power Book II: Ghost season four!
The drama series has been airing it’s final episodes ever as the show is ending after this season, and that phrase was ever present in the penultimate episode.
In the second-to-last episode of the series, one of the show’s main characters met their fate in a bloody way.
The Part Two synopsis reads: “Part one of Power Book II: Ghost uncovered unanswered high-stakes questions. Part two of the final season will showcase the adage ‘Like father, Like son.’ Tariq finds himself in an eerily similar situation, just like his late father, Ghost, stuck between a rock and a hard place, with the choice to leave the game or take over. Entrapped by Detective Carter, the Tejada family realizes their safety is not guaranteed. Monet fiercely fights for her family to become whole again,...

Wow. Wow. Wow.
Deep down, we all knew we were heading toward something major since Power Book II: Ghost will bow out for good in one short week.
But knowing that and bearing witness to a death that knocks the entire series on its head are two different things. The entire Power Universe has now been changed.
(Courtesy of Starz )
Power Book II: Ghost Season 4 has not been as strong as prior seasons, and that’s not a controversial opinion.
There have been some stronger hours, or at least ones that were entertaining, but if you had to grade the overall season up to this point, anywhere from a C- to a B- sounds about right.
But This hour. This one? This was easily the best hour of the season and one of the best ones of the entire season.
Now, what do all solid episodes of Power Ghost have in common?...

Dick Wolf shows have an irritating habit when it comes to how they handle character exits. Thankfully, Chicago Med bucked an annoying trend when it wrote out Dr. Marcel.
Granted, Marcel deserved a little more than a throwaway line about his going-away party, but his exit made sense despite that.
Even though Dominic Rains’ exit wasn’t announced until after the Chicago Med Season 9 finale, it was logical that he left, which made a big difference.

Too Many Dick Wolf Shows Include After-The-Fact Exit Explanations This Annoying Trend Goes As Far Back As Stabler’s Original Exit
Chicago Med bucked an annoying trend that seems to be common in Dick Wolf shows.
Characters tend to leave without warning in between seasons. This means that the characters left behind have to explain where the people who are Mia have disappeared to.

Ghost of Yotei was officially revealed during the previous PlayStation State of Play and has earned Sony Interactive Entertainment some goodwill from the gaming community. The highly anticipated sequel is set roughly 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima, starring Daisuke Tsuji as Jin Sakai, and his version of the Ghost had to rely on the tools and technology available in 1274. Atsu is fortunate to be around a much more advanced era with more options.

It is fitting for Sucker Punch Productions to introduce more items and increase the weapon variety in the latest installment to establish the timeline. These new items and gameplay mechanics could be useful when Atsu is stuck between a rock and a hard place later in her journey.

The final season of Power Book II: Ghost will go down as the most watched show ever on Starz.
The drama, which is headed toward its series finale on Oct. 4, is averaging 10.5 million viewers across all platforms, measured for 90 days post-premiere. (Several years ago, Starz noted that season five of Ghost’s predecessor, Power, averaged 10.8 million viewers, but over a longer span of time than 90 days.)
The Power franchise, which encompasses four series, has set a number of ratings records for Starz. The flagship series displaced Spartacus as Starz’s most watched show at the time back in 2015 and continued to roll up big audiences over the course of its run. Ghost, Book III: Raising Kanan and Book IV: Force — which notched the biggest opening weekend for any series premiere in the channel’s history — have also pulled in strong viewing numbers over their runs.

Ghost of Yotei will take place roughly 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima which would suggest that Jin Sakai is no longer in the picture. The announcement trailer introduced a new heroine named Atsu, and some fans have noticed a peculiar detail about the young samurai as she embarks on a journey that one might assume is another quest for vengeance. In the voiceover, Mount Yotei is where people flee to hide and disappear which could be the perfect place for criminals and traitors to hide and for Atsu to hunt.

The teaser trailer was brief and a list with names can be seen dangling from her waist and even on her wrists as she wipes it with blood. Perhaps Atsu is hired by another entity...

Ghost of Yotei was recently revealed during the latest PlayStation State of Play, and the gaming community has mixed feelings about the idea of playing as a female samurai in the highly-anticipated sequel. Jin Sakai has been the leading man of the Ghost franchise; however, the game developers of Sucker Punch Productions saw the opportunity to go beyond the conflicts on the island of Tsushima and expand the franchise even further with a new protagonist in Atsu.
The gaming community is not fully on board about playing as a female samurai which is silly nowadays. Image Credit: Sucker Punch Productions
