More than 1,200 Hollywood stars including Olivia Colman, Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo signed a pledge refusing work with Israeli institutions accused of genocide.

Hollywood Celebrities Boycott Israeli Institutions

Hollywood Stars Boycott Israeli Institutions

More than 1,200 Hollywood stars including Olivia Colman, Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo signed a pledge refusing work with Israeli institutions accused of genocide.

More than 1,200 celebrities from Hollywood including notable Oscar, BAFTA, Emmy and Palme d&rsquo;Or winners like Olivia Colman, Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo have signed a pledge refusing to work with Israeli institutions and companies implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.
The list of celebrities which have signed the pledge include prominent names such as filmmakers Yorgos Lanthimos, Ava DuVernay, Adam McKay, Boots Riley, Emma Seligman, Joshua Oppenheimer and Mike Leigh, and actors like Ayo Edebiri, Lily Gladstone, Hannah Einbinder, Peter Sarsgaard, Aimee Lou Wood, Paapa Essiedu, Gael Garcia Bernal, Riz Ahmed, Melissa Barrera, Cynthia Nixon, Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem, Joe Alwyn and Josh O&rsquo;Connor.
The pledge statement was published by the organisation Film Workers for Palestine which unites film workers to "stand for an end to genocide, and for a free Palestine." The pledge includes not complying with the "whitewashing or justifying genocide and apartheid, and/or partnering with the government committing them." "As filmmakers, actors, film industry workers, and institutions, we recognize the power of cinema to shape perceptions. In this urgent moment of crisis, where many of our governments are enabling the carnage in Gaza, we must do everything we can to address complicity in that unrelenting horror," the statement read.
"Standing for equality, justice, and freedom for all people is a profound moral duty that none of us can ignore. So too, we must speak out now against the harm done to the Palestinian people," it added.
The pledge further requested the international film industry to stand against racism and dehumanisation and to do "everything humanly possible" to end the complicity in the oppression of the Palestinian people.
In 2024, a similar pledge was signed by over 7000 authors and book workers to boycott "complicit" Israeli publishing houses. Some of the signatories included winners of the Nobel Prize, Booker Prize, Pulitzer Prize, Giller Prize, MacArthur Fellowship, Miles Franklin Award, and National Book Award, including three winners, Percival Everett, Lena Khalaf Tuffaha, and Shifa Saltagi Safadi. Other authors included Khaled Hosseini, Piper Kerman and Ling Ma.

Actor Deepika Padukone will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, making her possibly the first Indian to be felicitated with the coveted honour.
Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, the official organisation which administers the Hollywood Walk of Fame, shared the news on its official Instagram page on Wednesday night.
"A new group of entertainment professionals in the categories of Motion Pictures, Television, Live Theatre/Live Performance, Radio, Recording, and Sports Entertainment have been selected to receive stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame by the Walk of Fame Selection Panel of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce," the post read.

Padukone will receive the star along with a host of popular Hollywood actors including Emily Blunt, Timothee Chalamet, Marion Cotillard, Stanley Tucci, Rami Malek, Rachel McAdams, Demi Moore, filmmakers Chris Columbus and Tony Scott.
From the television industry, "The Office" creator Greg Daniels, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Chef Gordon Ramsay, Bradley Whitford, and Noah Wyle will be honoured.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame celebrates achievements in the entertainment industry with over 2,700 brass stars embedded along the sidewalks of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street in Los Angeles, making it a major tourist attraction for visitors from around the world.
Each star honours artists from the worlds of film, television, music, radio, and live performance for their impact on popular culture.
honorees were chosen from among hundreds of nominations to the committee at a meeting held on June 14, 2024 and ratified by the Hollywood Chamber&rsquo;s Board of Directors on the same day. Padukone has emerged as one of the top stars of India since she made her Bollywood debut with 2007's "Om Shanti Om". She has starred in critically-acclaimed movies such as "Love Aaj Kal", "Piku", "Bajirao Mastani", "Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela", "Padmaavat", "Chhapaak" and "Gehraiyaan".
In Hollywood, she made her debut with the 2017 action movie "XXX: Return of Xander Cage", co-starring Vin Diesel. She was also named one of TIME magazine&rsquo;s 100 most influential people in 2018 and received the TIME100 Impact Award.
Padukone also served in the main competition jury of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in 2022.
The actor is currently working on a number of projects, including an untitled film directed by Atlee, co-starring Allu Arjun.

Aaron Sorkin returns with 'The Social Network Part II,' exploring Facebook's evolution post-revelations from 'The Facebook Files.'

Delve into Facebook's evolution under Aaron Sorkin's direction in 'The Social Network Part II,' inspired by 'The Facebook Files.'

Aaron Sorkin leads 'The Social Network Part II,' exploring Facebook's evolution and impact, inspired by 'The Facebook Files.'

The story of social media giant Facebook and its billionaire owner Mark Zuckerberg is set to be explored further by filmmaker Aaron Sorkin in a follow-up to his critically-acclaimed movie "The Social Network".
Sorkin had adapted Ben Mezrich's 2009 book "The Accidental Billionaires" for the 2010 movie, which was directed by David Fincher and chronicled how Zuckerberg started Facebook from his dorm at Harvard University as well as the legal dispute he had with co-founder Eduardo Saverin.
The sequel is currently titled "The Social Network Part II" and is set up at Sony Pictures, according to entertainment news outlet Deadline.
The follow-up will also be directed by Sorkin and will tackle the story behind the Wall Street Journal&lsquo;s article series The Facebook Files by Jeff Horowitz. The reports, published in October 2021, exposed the inner workings of &mdash; and multiple harms caused by &mdash; the world&rsquo;s largest social network.
It is unclear whether Jesse Eisenberg, who played Zuckerberg in the first part, will return for the sequel.
"The Social Network Part II", which will also paint a broader picture of Facebook&rsquo;s evolution since the original movie, including its influence on global politics and its effect on teens and preteens, will be produced by Todd Black, Peter Rice, Sorkin and Stuart Besser.
"The Social Network" had received eight Oscar nominations and won three for best adapted screenplay for Sorkin, best original score, and best film editing.&nbsp;

Oscar-winner Gene Hackman and wife Betsy Arakawa found dead in Santa Fe. Authorities see no foul play. Investigation continues.

Gene Hackman and wife Betsy Arakawa found dead in Santa Fe home

The entertainment industry mourns as Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman and wife Betsy Arakawa are found dead at their Santa Fe home. Authorities find no foul play, and investigation continues. The legendary actor lived a remarkable life together with his wife.

Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman and wife Betsy Arakawa found dead in their New Mexico home. No foul play suspected.

Gene Hackman, the Oscar-winning actor renowned for his roles in "The French Connection" and "Unforgiven," along with his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, were found deceased in their Santa Fe, New Mexico home.
The couple, aged 95 and 63 respectively, passed away on Wednesday afternoon, leaving the entertainment world in shock.
The discovery was made by the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office, who were called to the scene. Authorities have not yet determined the cause of death but have indicated that there is no evidence of foul play. In addition to Hackman and Arakawa, their dog was also found dead in the home. The investigation is in its early stages, with officials awaiting a search warrant to proceed further.
"We are conducting a preliminary death investigation and want to assure the community that there is no immediate danger," a sheriff's department spokesperson told the Santa Fe New Mexican.
Gene Hackman's illustrious career spanned several decades, during which he captured audiences with his versatile performances and magnetic screen presence. His memorable roles include films such as "Mississippi Burning," "Superman," and "The Quick and the Dead." Hackman and Arakawa had been married since 1991.
As the investigation continues, the loss of this iconic actor and his wife is felt deeply across the entertainment industry and beyond.

A judge has set a trial date for March 9, 2026, in the ongoing legal battle between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. Lively has accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation on the set of It Ends With Us.

Blake Lively vs Justin Baldoni: Trial set for March 2026

A judge has set a trial date for March 9, 2026, in the ongoing legal battle between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. Lively has accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation on the set of It Ends With Us.

In the ongoing legal dispute between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, new developments have emerged. According to a report by Variety, the two could face trial on March 9, 2026, as stated by Judge Lewis J. Liman.&nbsp;
Lively, who filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in December, accuses the director of sexual harassment and retaliation on the set of the upcoming 2024 film. The judge confirmed that an initial hearing will be held on February 3.
At this hearing, Lively's attorneys are expected to request a court order that would prevent Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, from launching a public relations campaign surrounding the case.&nbsp;
Lively's lawsuit claims that she, along with other cast and crew members of It Ends With Us, experienced "invasive, unwelcome, unprofessional, and sexually inappropriate behaviour" from Baldoni on set. She further alleges that Baldoni retaliated against her by collaborating with a crisis PR team to damage her reputation.
In response, Baldoni has denied all the allegations. His legal team has filed a $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds.&nbsp;
Freedman has indicated plans to launch a website showcasing evidence to refute Lively's harassment claims. Meanwhile, Lively&rsquo;s attorneys are seeking a protective injunction to limit the sharing of discovery materials and requesting that the judge remind Freedman of his professional conduct obligations, as reported by Variety.
Last week, Lively's legal team, led by Michael Gottlieb, urgently requested a hearing to address Freedman's media statements. The judge agreed to move the initial hearing, which was scheduled for February 12, to an earlier date, set for February 3.&nbsp;
Liman also plans to consolidate the two federal cases. During Monday&rsquo;s proceedings, the judge instructed both parties to arrange a briefing schedule aimed at starting the trial on March 9, 2026. However, if the two parties reach a settlement before that, the trial date could be cancelled.

Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda reunites with director Sam Hargrave for the action-packed film Matchbox, alongside Hollywood stars like John Cena, Teyonah Parris, and Jessica Biel. Based on the iconic Matchbox toy line.

Randeep Hooda teams up with John Cena for Sam Hargrave’s action-thriller 'Matchbox'

Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda reunites with director Sam Hargrave for the action-packed film Matchbox, alongside Hollywood stars like John Cena, Teyonah Parris, and Jessica Biel. Based on the iconic Matchbox toy line.

Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda is set to reunite with director Sam Hargrave for Apple Original Films' action thriller Matchbox, as reported by Variety.&nbsp;
This marks their second collaboration following the success of their 2020 Netflix hit, Extraction.&nbsp;
Joining Hooda in the film are Hollywood stars John Cena, Teyonah Parris, Jessica Biel, and Sam Richardson. Currently being filmed in Budapest, Matchbox is inspired by Mattel's iconic Matchbox toy vehicle line.
The movie is directed by Hargrave, known for his work on Avengers: Endgame and Extraction 2, with a script by David Coggeshall and Jonathan Tropper.&nbsp;
It is produced by Skydance's David Ellison and Dana Goldberg, along with Mattel Films' Don Granger and Robbie Brenner.&nbsp;
The story revolves around a group of childhood friends who reunite to prevent a global disaster while rediscovering their bond. The film&rsquo;s concept is rooted in the Matchbox car line, created in 1953 by Jack Odell, which remains a global phenomenon with two Matchbox cars sold every second worldwide.
Expressing his enthusiasm, Hooda said, "Excited to be working with Sam again. We had a great time on our first collaboration with Extraction. Sam is a master of high-octane storytelling and action. Glad to be joining the team in Budapest."
Apart from Matchbox, Hooda has a series of projects lined up. He recently directed and starred in Swatantrya Veer Savarkar and is filming Jaat, directed by Gopichand Malineni and co-starring Sunny Deol.&nbsp;
This movie is being produced by the team behind Pushpa 2. Additionally, Hooda is attached to Arjun Ustara, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, according to Variety.

Ryan Gosling is reportedly negotiating to star in an exciting new Star Wars film directed by Shawn Levy. The project, separate from the Skywalker Saga, is set to take the franchise in a fresh direction.

Ryan Gosling in talks for new Star Wars film directed by Shawn Levy

Ryan Gosling is reportedly negotiating to star in an exciting new Star Wars film directed by Shawn Levy. The project, separate from the Skywalker Saga, is set to take the franchise in a fresh direction.

Oscar-nominated actor Ryan Gosling is reportedly in talks to star in an upcoming Star Wars film directed by Shawn Levy.
The project, which has been in development since 2022, is set to bring a fresh new direction to the Star Wars universe. This film could become the next major production under Lucasfilm, as confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter.&nbsp;
Levy, known for his work on 'Deadpool' and 'The Adam Project', has been working on the movie for over two years, with Jonathan Tropper writing the script. Levy is also producing through his 21 Laps banner, alongside Lucasfilm&rsquo;s Kathleen Kennedy.
While details about the film remain limited, it has been confirmed that it will be a standalone movie, separate from the core Skywalker Saga. This means the story may explore new characters and plotlines within the vast Star Wars universe.&nbsp;
Sources suggest that the film will introduce fresh narratives beyond the Skywalker family, though the exact timeline and plot are still under wraps. Fans have been speculating whether the film will focus on Jedi, Sith, or delve into other corners of the galaxy.
Gosling&rsquo;s involvement in the project came as a late development, but it&rsquo;s now set to accelerate the film&rsquo;s production. Initially, Levy was in talks to direct a film centered around a boy band for Paramount, which would reunite him with actors Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.&nbsp;
However, Gosling's sudden interest in the Star Wars universe has given the project a new sense of urgency. If negotiations are finalized, filming could begin as early as this fall, with the film expected to be the next major release under the Star Wars franchise.
Following the success of 'The Mandalorian' series, which is set for release in 2026, this film could be the next big Star Wars production. Gosling is also set to star in the space-themed film &lsquo;Project Hail Mary&rsquo;, directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, further solidifying his foray into the science fiction genre.

Despite devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, the 67th annual Grammy Awards will take place on February 2, 2025. The ceremony will raise funds for wildfire relief and honor first responders.

Grammys still set for February 2, will support LA fire relief

Despite devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, the 67th annual Grammy Awards will take place on February 2, 2025. The ceremony will raise funds for wildfire relief and honor first responders.

The Grammys, slated for February 2, will "proceed as planned" despite the devastating fires scorching Los Angeles, the Recording Academy said Monday.
In a letter to Academy members obtained by AFP, organizers said the 67th annual music awards gala would take place at the Crypto.com Arena in downtown LA "in close coordination with local authorities to ensure public safety and responsible use of area resources."
"This year's show, however, will carry a renewed sense of purpose: raising additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect ours," Academy head Harvey Mason Jr said in the letter, which was co-signed by Board of Trustees chair Tammy Hurt.
"The Grammys will not only honor the artistry and achievements of our music community but also serve as a platform to amplify the spirit of resilience that defines this great city of Los Angeles," Mason and Hurt said.
The marquee televised portion of the gala will still air on CBS.
Top nominees include Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar.
At least 24 people have died, tens of thousands of people are displaced, and swaths of Los Angeles sit in ruins nearly a week after fires broke out when extreme winds spread flames across arid Southern California, crippling the city and razing entire communities.
In response, the Recording Academy and its philanthropic arm MusiCares launched a relief effort with an initial $1 million donation supporting impacted music industry workers.
The letter said additional donations had allowed for the organization to distribute more than $2 million in emergency aid thus far.
Separately, LiveNation and AEG Presents, along with the Azoff Company, over the weekend announced a FIREAID benefit concert on January 30 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood.
Proceeds are to go to a non-profit created for the event focused on "rebuilding infrastructure, supporting displaced families and advancing fire prevention technologies and strategies to ensure LA is better prepared for fire emergencies."
The entertainment industry in showbiz capital Los Angeles is weighing how to navigate its just-started award season, which is particularly intense for film and features a steady stream of swanky premieres and galas.
The body behind the Oscars scrapped its ritzy nominees' luncheon in light of the fires, while moving its nominations announcement online.

Wildfires in Los Angeles have claimed lives, displaced thousands, and destroyed homes. The National Guard is deployed to control looting and manage ongoing fire threats.

Los Angeles wildfire death toll reaches 10, National Guard deployed

Wildfires in Los Angeles have claimed lives, displaced thousands, and destroyed homes. The National Guard is deployed to control looting and manage ongoing fire threats.

Massive wildfires that engulfed whole neighborhoods and displaced thousands in Los Angeles have killed at least 10 people, authorities said, as California's National Guard soldiers readied to hit the streets to help quell disorder.
News of the growing toll, announced late Thursday by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, came as swaths of the United States' second-largest city lay in ruins.
A vast firefighting operation continued into the night, bolstered by water-dropping helicopters thanks to a temporary lull in winds, even as new fires continued to spring up.
With reports of looting, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said a nighttime curfew was planned, and the state's National Guard was on hand to patrol affected areas.
Governor Gavin Newsom said the service members were part of a thousands-strong deployment of state personnel.
"We're throwing everything at our disposal -&ndash; including our National Guard service members &ndash;- to protect communities in the days to come," he said.
"And to those who would seek to take advantage of evacuated communities, let me be clear: looting will not be tolerated."
Luna said his officers were patrolling evacuation zones and would arrest anyone who was not supposed to be there.
But with such a huge area scorched by the fires, evacuees feared not enough was being done and some were taking matters into their own hands.
Nicholas Norman mounted an armed vigil at his home after seeing suspicious characters in the middle of the night.
"I did the classic American thing: I went and got my shotgun and I sat out there, and put a light on so they knew people were there," he told AFP.
&nbsp;
- 'Death and destruction' -
The biggest of the multiple blazes has ripped through almost 20,000 acres (8,800 hectares) of the upscale Pacific Palisades neighborhood, while another fire around Altadena has torched 13,700 acres.
Firefighters said they were starting to get a handle on the Pacific Palisades blaze, with six percent of its perimeter contained -- meaning it can't spread any further in that direction.
But after a lull, winds were returning and new fires continued to erupt.
One flared near Calabasas and the wealthy Hidden Hills enclave, home to celebrities like Kim Kardashian, late Thursday.
The Kenneth Fire exploded to almost 1,000 acres within hours, forcing more people from their homes, with over 180,000 now displaced.
US President Joe Biden told a White House briefing he had pledged extra federal funds and resources to help the state cope with "the most... devastating fire in California's history."
Unlike Tuesday when the multi-pronged disaster roared to life and 100-mile (160-kilometer)-an-hour winds grounded all aircraft, firefighters were able to keep up a steady stream of sorties.
But one Super Scooper -- an amphibious aircraft that dumps hundreds of gallons of water at a time -- was grounded after colliding with a drone.
Although no one was hurt, the Federal Aviation Authority said it was probing the incident, and warned anyone flying drones in fire areas could be jailed for a year.
Some of those forced out of their homes began to return Thursday to find scenes of devastation.
Kalen Astoor, a 36-year-old paralegal, said her mother's home had been spared by the inferno's seemingly random and chaotic destruction. But many other homes had not.
"The view now is of death and destruction," she told AFP. "I don't know if anyone can come back for a while." 
&nbsp;
- 'Critical' -
Meanwhile an AFP overflight of the Pacific Palisades and Malibu -- some of the most expensive real estate in the world and home to celebrities like Paris Hilton, Anthony Hopkins and Billy Crystal -- revealed desolation.
On highly coveted Malibu oceanfront plots skeletal frames of buildings indicated the lavish scale of what has been destroyed.
Multi-million dollar mansions have vanished entirely, seemingly swept into the Pacific Ocean by the force of the fire.
In the Palisades, grids of roads that were until Tuesday lined with stunning homes now resemble makeshift cemeteries.
For millions of others in the area, life was disrupted: schools were closed, hundreds of thousands were without power and major events were cancelled or, in the case of an NFL playoff game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Minnesota Vikings, moved somewhere else.
Meteorologists warn that "critical" windy and dry conditions, though abated, are not over.
A National Weather Service bulletin said "significant fire growth" remained likely "with ongoing or new fires" into Friday.
Wildfires occur naturally, but scientists say human-caused climate change is altering weather and changing the dynamics of the blazes.
Two wet years in Southern California have given way to a very dry one, leaving ample fuel dry and primed to burn.

Several Hollywood celebrities, including Mandy Moore and Paris Hilton, have been displaced by the wildfires ravaging Los Angeles, particularly in the Pacific Palisades area.

Raging wildfires in Los Angeles claim five lives, destroy 1,500 buildings, and displace over 100,000 residents. 

Deadly Los Angeles Wildfires Destroy 1,500 Buildings, Force 100,000 Evacuations

Raging wildfires in Los Angeles claim five lives, destroy 1,500 buildings, and displace over 100,000 residents.&nbsp;

At least five people have been killed in wildfires rampaging around Los Angeles, officials said Wednesday, with firefighters overwhelmed by the speed and ferocity of multiple blazes -- including in Hollywood.
Up to 1,500 buildings have burned in fires wreaking havoc around America's second biggest city, forcing over 100,000 people from their homes.
Hurricane-force winds whipped up fireballs that leapt from house to house, incinerating swathes of California's most desirable real estate.
Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said his crews were struggling with the scale and speed of the unfolding disasters.
"We're doing the very best we can. But no, we don't have enough fire personnel in LA County between all the departments to handle this," he said.
On Wednesday evening, a new fire erupted in the Hollywood Hills, just a few hundred meters (yards) from the storied Hollywood Boulevard -- home to sights such as the Grauman's Chinese Theatre, the Walk of Fame and the El Capitan Theatre.
An evacuation order was put in place for a number of streets in the historic district, as firefighters took to the skies to dump water on the blaze.
"There is no time to delay," Margaret Stewart of LAFD said.
"We do not want people stuck. We want everyone safely exiting, get in your vehicles, grab your friend who doesn't have a car, and head south."
The sudden eruption created gridlock on Hollywood's streets, hampering efforts by people who live in the area -- a mixture of ritzy homes and rent-controlled apartments -- to leave.
Sharon Ibarra, 29, told AFP she had rushed into Hollywood when she heard of the blaze to see if she could help her boss with her two babies.
"I am super nervous, scared because of everything that has happened in the other places," she said.
"Thank God there is not much wind like yesterday."
That wind -- with gusts up to 100 miles (160 kilometers) an hour -- spread the fire around the ritzy Pacific Palisades neighborhood with lightning speed.
At least 16,000 acres (6,500 hectares) had burned there, with 1,000 homes and businesses razed.
A separate 10,600-acre (4,300-hectare) fire was burning around Altadena, north of the city, where flames tore through suburban streets.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said five people were known to have perished, with more deaths feared.
William Gonzales got out alive, but his Altadena home was gone.
"We have lost practically everything; the flames have consumed all our dreams," he told AFP. 
- Hydrants run dry -
Pasadena fire chief Chad Augustin said up to 500 buildings had been lost to the flames there.
He hailed the bravery of first responders. "Our death count today would be significantly higher without their heroic actions," Augustin told reporters.
Los Angeles Department of Water and Power chief executive Janisse Quinones pleaded with people to save water after hydrants in Pacific Palisades ran dry.
President-elect Donald Trump took to his social media platform on Wednesday to claim -- wrongly -- that the lack of water was the result of the state's environmental policies.
In fact, much of Los Angeles' water comes from the Colorado River, and farming -- rather than residential use or firefighting -- takes the lion's share of all water that flows into Southern California.
US President Joe Biden cancelled a trip to Italy this week to focus on the federal response to the fires.
"We're doing anything and everything, and as long as it takes to contain these fires," Biden earlier told reporters. 
- Dryness -
Having razed perhaps hundreds of multimillion-dollar homes, the Pacific Palisades fire looked set to be one of the costliest blazes on record.
AccuWeather said it estimated up to $57 billion of losses.
More than 300,000 households were without electricity in the region, according to Poweroutage.us. Utilities in California frequently de-energize lines during high winds to minimize the risk of new fires.
Wildfires are part of life in the US West and play a vital role in nature.
But scientists say human-caused climate change is altering weather patterns.
Southern California had two decades of drought that were followed by two exceptionally wet years, which sparked furious vegetative growth -- leaving the region packed with fuel and primed to burn -- and then has had no significant rain for eight months.
Meteorologist Daniel Swain said the fierce winds are stronger than the usual seasonal Santa Ana winds, but are not unexpected.
"The winds are the driver, but the real catalyst... is this incredible antecedent dryness," he said.
"That's something that we haven't seen in records going back to the 1800s."

The 2025 Golden Globe Awards saw "Emilia Perez" and "The Brutalist" take home major accolades, with standout performances from Adrien Brody, Demi Moore, and Sebastian Stan.

'Emilia Perez,' 'The Brutalist' win big at Golden Globes

The 2025 Golden Globe Awards saw "Emilia Perez" and "The Brutalist" take home major accolades, with standout performances from Adrien Brody, Demi Moore, and Sebastian Stan.

Surreal narco-musical "Emilia Perez" and epic immigrant drama "The Brutalist" were the big winners at the Golden Globes on Sunday, as prizes were shared widely across an international crop of movies at the year's first major showbiz awards gala.
French director Jacques Audiard's Mexico-set "Emilia Perez" took four prizes, including best comedy or musical film, while "The Brutalist" was named best drama and also picked up best actor for Adrien Brody, who plays a Hungarian Holocaust survivor.
"Emilia Perez," about a drug lord who transitions to life as a woman, had entered the night with the most nominations at 10.
It won for best non-English language film and best original song, while Zoe Saldana took best supporting actress honors, nudging out her co-star Selena Gomez.
"You can maybe put us in jail, you can beat us up, but you never can take away our soul, our resistance, our identity," said Karla Sofia Gascon, the film's star, who is transgender.
She added: "Raise your voice... and say, 'I won. I am who I am, not who you want'."
Big wins at the Globes can help movies earn new audiences and build vital momentum toward the Oscars in early March.
Sunday also proved an important night for "The Brutalist," which shrugged off concerns over its sprawling runtime to earn best director for Brady Corbet.
"I was told that no one would come out and see it," said Corbet, of his epic about a Jewish architect who survives Nazi persecution and emigrates to the United States.
"No one was asking for a three-and-a-half hour film about a mid-century designer... but it works," he added.
In one of the night's biggest upsets, Brazil's Fernanda Torres won best actress in a drama film for "I'm Still Here," which chronicles a family ripped apart by the country's military dictatorship in the 1970s.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
- Comebacks -
Brody's win was one of the night's remarkable career comebacks, more than two decades after he became the youngest ever Oscar best actor winner for "The Pianist," in which he also played a Holocaust survivor.
"There was a time not too long ago that I felt that this may be a moment never afforded to me again," he said.
"This story... is very reminiscent of my mother's, and my ancestral journey of fleeing the horrors of war and coming to this great country."
And there was another late-career triumph for Demi Moore, who won best actress in a comedy for body horror flick "The Substance," which takes a satirical and often grotesque look at the pressures placed on women by society as they age.
Accepting her prize, Moore reflected on how decades ago, she had been told by a Hollywood producer that she was "a popcorn actress."
"I bought in, and I believed that, and that corroded me over time," said the now 62-year-old "Ghost" star.
But "I had this magical, bold, courageous, out-of-the-box, absolutely bonkers script come across my desk called 'The Substance,' and the universe told me that 'you're not done.'"
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
- Ozempic -
The always controversial Globes are in year two of a revamp, following a Los Angeles Times expose in 2021 that showed that the awards' voting body -- the Hollywood Foreign Press Association -- had no Black members.
Now under new ownership, and with the HFPA disbanded, organizers were hoping to capitalize on a ratings bump registered last January.
Comedian Nikki Glaser hosted the ceremony, kicking off the gala with an irreverent, well-received monologue.
"Welcome to the 82nd Golden Globes, Ozempic's biggest night," she quipped, referring to the weight-loss drug that has proven wildly popular in famously looks-conscious Hollywood.
Among the dramas, "Conclave," a fictionalized account of high-stakes Vatican horse-trading, depicting how the death of a pope sends the church's various factions into battle for its future, took the award for best screenplay.
In comedy, Sebastian Stan won the best actor for "A Different Man," in which he portrays a man who undergoes experimental treatment for a disfiguring facial condition, but comes to rue the consequences.
"Our ignorance and discomfort around disability and disfigurement has to end now," said Stan.

The show's renewal for season two comes ahead of the premiere of the final episode, which will air on HBO on December 22. The show streams on JioCinema in India.
"'Dune: Prophecy' has captivated audiences around the globe thanks to the visionary leadership of showrunner and executive producer Alison Schapker, who will continue to guide this grand tale of truth and power.

“There are masterpieces from Faulkner and Hemingway, the first sound films from Alfred Hitchcock, Cecil B. DeMille, and John Ford, and amazing music from Fats Waller, Cole Porter, and George Gershwin. Pretty exciting!”

Popeye, Tintin enter public domain in 2025 along with novels from Faulkner, Hemingway

&ldquo;There are masterpieces from Faulkner and Hemingway, the first sound films from Alfred Hitchcock, Cecil B. DeMille, and John Ford, and amazing music from Fats Waller, Cole Porter, and George Gershwin. Pretty exciting!&rdquo;

Popeye can punch without permission and Tintin can roam freely starting in 2025. The two classic comic characters who first appeared in 1929 are among the intellectual properties becoming public domain in the United States on Jan 1. That means they can be used and repurposed without permission or payment to copyright holders.
This year&rsquo;s crop of newly public artistic creations lacks the landmark vibes of last year&rsquo;s entrance into the public domain of Mickey Mouse. But they include a deep well of canonical works whose 95-year copyright maximums will expire. And the Disney icon&rsquo;s public domain presence expands.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a trove! There are a dozen new Mickey cartoons &mdash; he speaks for the first time and dons the familiar white gloves,&rdquo; said Jennifer Jenkins, director of Duke&rsquo;s Center for the Study of the Public Domain. &ldquo;There are masterpieces from Faulkner and Hemingway, the first sound films from Alfred Hitchcock, Cecil B. DeMille, and John Ford, and amazing music from Fats Waller, Cole Porter, and George Gershwin. Pretty exciting!&rdquo;
Here&rsquo;s a closer look at this year&rsquo;s crop.
Comics characters loom large: &nbsp;Popeye the Sailor, with his bulging forearms, mealy-mouthed speech, and propensity for fistfights, was created by E.C. Segar and made his first appearance in the newspaper strip &ldquo;Thimble Theater&rdquo; in 1929, speaking his first words, &ldquo;&lsquo;Ja think I&rsquo;m a cowboy?&rdquo; when asked if he was a sailor. What was supposed to be a one-off appearance became permanent, and the strip would be renamed &rdquo;Popeye.&rdquo;
But as with Mickey Mouse last year and Winnie the Pooh in 2022, only the earliest version is free for reuse. The spinach that gave the sailor his super-strength was not there from the start and is the kind of character element that could spawn legal disputes. The animated shorts featuring his distinctive mumbly voice didn&rsquo;t begin until 1933 and remain under copyright. As does director Robert Altman&rsquo;s 1980 film, starring Robin Williams as Popeye and Shelley Duvall as his oft-fought-over sweetheart Olive Oyl. That movie was tepidly received initially. So was director Steven Spielberg&rsquo;s &ldquo;Adventures of Tintin&rdquo; in 2011. But the comics about the boy reporter that inspired it, the creation of Belgian artist Herge, were among the most popular in Europe for much of the 20th century.
The simply drawn teen with dots for eyes and bangs like an ocean wave first appeared in a supplement to the Belgian newspaper Le Vingti&egrave;me Si&egrave;cle and became a weekly feature.
The comic also first appeared in the US in 1929. Its signature bright colours &mdash; including Tintin&rsquo;s red hair &mdash; didn&rsquo;t appear until years later, and could, like Popeye&rsquo;s spinach, be the subject of legal disputes.
And in much of the world, Tintin won&rsquo;t become public property until 70 years after the 1983 death of his creator.
Books show American lit at its height: The books becoming public this year read like the syllabus for an American literature seminar.
&ldquo;The Sound and the Fury,&rdquo; arguably William Faulkner&rsquo;s quintessential novel with its modernist stream-of-consciousness style, was a sensation after its publication despite being famously difficult for readers. It uses multiple non-linear narratives to tell the story of a prominent family&rsquo;s ruin in the author&rsquo;s native Mississippi and would help lead to Faulkner&rsquo;s Nobel Prize.
And Ernest Hemingway&rsquo;s &ldquo;A Farewell to Arms&rdquo; joins his earlier &ldquo;The Sun Also Rises&rdquo; in the public domain. The partly autobiographical story of an ambulance driver in Italy during the First World War cemented Hemingway&rsquo;s status in the American literary canon. It has been frequently adapted for film, TV and radio, which can now be done without permission.
John Steinbeck&rsquo;s first novel, &ldquo;A Cup of Gold,&rdquo; from 1929, will also enter the public domain.
The British novelist Virginia Woolf&rsquo;s &ldquo;A Room of One&rsquo;s Own,&rdquo; an extended essay that would become a landmark in feminism from the modernist literary luminary, is also on the list. Her novel &ldquo;Mrs. Dalloway&rdquo; is already in the US public domain.
Movie legends in the making: While a host of truly major movies will become public in the coming decade, for now, early works by major figures from the not-always-stellar early sound era will have to suffice. A decade before he would move to Hollywood and make films like &ldquo;Psycho,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Vertigo,&rdquo; Alfred Hitchcock made &ldquo;Blackmail&rdquo; in Britain. The film was begun as a silent but shifted to sound during production, resulting in two different versions, one of them the UK&rsquo;s &mdash; and Hitchcock&rsquo;s &mdash; first sound film.
John Ford, whose later Westerns would put him among film&rsquo;s most vaunted directors, also made his first foray into sound with 1929&rsquo;s &ldquo;The Black Watch,&rdquo; an adventure epic that includes Ford&rsquo;s future chief collaborator John Wayne as a young extra.
Cecil B DeMille, already a Hollywood bigwig through silents, made his first talkie with the melodrama &ldquo;Dynamite.&rdquo; Groucho, Harpo and the other Marx Brothers had their first starring movie roles in 1929&rsquo;s &ldquo;The Cocoanuts,&rdquo; a forerunner to future classics like &ldquo;Animal Crackers&rdquo; and &ldquo;Duck Soup.&rdquo;
&ldquo;The Broadway Melody,&rdquo; the first sound film and the second film ever to win the Oscar for best picture &mdash; known as &ldquo;outstanding production&rdquo; at the time &mdash; will also become public, though it&rsquo;s often ranked among the worst of best picture winners. And after &ldquo;Steamboat Willie&rdquo; made the earliest Mickey Mouse public, a dozen more of his animations will get the same status, including &ldquo;The Karnival Kid,&rdquo; where he spoke for the first time.
Music rings out the 20s: Songs from the last year of the Roaring Twenties are also about to become public property.
Cole Porter&rsquo;s compositions &ldquo;What Is This Thing Called Love?&rdquo; and &ldquo;Tiptoe Through the Tulips&rdquo; are among the highlights, as is the jazz classic &ldquo;Ain&rsquo;t Misbehavin&rsquo;, written by Fats Waller and Harry Brooks.
&ldquo;Singin&rsquo; in the Rain,&rdquo; which would later forever be associated with the 1952 Gene Kelly film, made its debut in the 1929 movie &ldquo;The Hollywood Revue&rdquo; and will now be public domain.
Different laws regulate sound recordings, and those newly in the public domain date to 1924. They include a recording of &ldquo;Nobody Knows the Trouble I&rsquo;ve Seen&rdquo; from future star and civil rights icon Marian Anderson, and &ldquo;Rhapsody in Blue&rdquo; performed by its composer George Gershwin.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom claims No.1 position at North America box office. Deets inside

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is estimated to have cost around $200 million to produce, not including marketing and promotion costs.

Warner Bros and DC's new venture 'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom' has led a crowd of new releases at the box office on the weekend before this year's Christmas. The superhero sequel starring Jason Momoa earned an estimated $28.1 million in its first three days of release in 3,706 locations in North America, according to studio estimates Sunday. Despite a rough ride from critics, the holiday entry is the No. 1 film of the weekend internationally and globally. In offshore markets, it ranked as the top Hollywood title of 2023. Overall, 'Aquaman 2' performed best in Asia where it was the top Hollywood movie in every market. Singapore nabbed the biggest WB opening weekend of 2023, and in Malaysia and Indonesia, A2 was the 2nd biggest opening for a WB movie this year. In Taiwan, it was the biggest opening weekend for a superhero movie in 2023. Meanwhile, Prabhas-starrer 'Salaar: Part 1 &ndash; Ceasefire' is looking at an estimated $37M global for its opening weekend. As per sources, the Prasanth Neel-directed actioner grossed $225K from 50 screens in India and the Middle East. Its studio, Warner Bros. also has the No. 2 movie of the weekend, 'Wonka', and one of the major Christmas openings, 'The Color Purple', a buffet of big movies that was sorely needed by theaters, especially without any new movies from the Walt Disney Company or Paramount. By Monday, Warner Bros. will likely have three spots in the top five. Yorgos Lanthimos' gothic black comedy 'Poor Things' also expanded to 800 theaters where it earned $2.1 million.

&nbsp;The &lsquo;Scream VII&rsquo; project has been plagued by troubles, losing not only two of its main actors but also its director in the past few months.

Christopher Landon who has helmed various horror franchises including &lsquo;Paranormal Activity&rsquo; and &lsquo;Happy Death Day&rsquo; has officially confirmed his exit from Hollywood's most popular franchise &lsquo;Scream.&rsquo; The &lsquo;Scream VII&rsquo; project has been plagued by troubles, losing not only two of its main actors but also its director in the past few months. Christopher Landon took to the social platform X on Saturday and wrote, &ldquo;I guess now is as good a time as any to announce I formally exited Scream 7 weeks ago. This will disappoint some and delight others. It was a dream job that turned into a nightmare. And my heart did break for everyone involved. Everyone. But it&rsquo;s time to move on.&rdquo; He added, &ldquo;I have nothing more to add to the conversation other than I hope Wes&rsquo; legacy thrives and lifts above the din of a divided world. What he and Kevin created is something amazing and I was honoured to have even the briefest moment basking in their glow.&rdquo; Landon was referring to Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson, the original creators of the Scream franchise, which started in 1996 and became a huge hit. Landon was supposed to take over from Radio Silence, the directing duo that revived the series with &lsquo;Scream&rsquo; in 2022 and &lsquo;Scream VI&rsquo; in March 2023, which broke box office records for the horror genre.
