That Bee Gees Biopic Is Stayin’ Alive with Kenneth Branagh as Director
When news first broke that Graham King, producer of the treacly Queen flick Bohemian Rhapsody, would be making a biopic about the Bee Gees, serious fans around the world screamed, “Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!” But now our hopes for a good movie are stayin’ alive, as Variety reports that Sir Kenneth Branagh has been tapped as director. After establishing himself in the 1980s and ’90s as an actor and director of Shakespearian adaptations, Branagh became a constant presence on Hollywood sets, moving into a new phase when he helmed Marvel’s Thor in 2011. The five-time Oscar nominee’s recent credits include Murder on the Orient Express and Artemis Fowl, and if that doesn’t inspire confidence, rest assured that few filmmakers today are as qualified to make a movie about men with astoundi...

Citing Reforms, CISAC Readmits Troubled Spanish Society SGAE
Paris-based CISAC temporarily expelled the Spanish society in May 2019 after finding it had violated the international confederation’s rules, which included discriminatory treatment of rights holders and irregularities in its distribution of royalties. CISAC set out a list of 17 reforms it required SGAE to implement to comply with CISAC’s rules. “CISAC has worked for over three years to monitor, support and evaluate SGAE’s transformation into a society that is compliant with international standards,” CISAC director-general Gadi Oron and board chairman Marcelo Castello Branco said in a joint statement. “This has been a complex task of utmost importance both to CISAC members, who depend on the integrity of the collective management system internationally, and to Spanish creators and rights h...
Britney Spears’ Dad Responds to Call for Federal Hearings Into Conservatorships
Jamie Spears’ lawyer Vivian L. Thoreen issued a statement in response to Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday (March 10). “From the beginning, the court has closely monitored Britney’s situation, including through annual accountings and in-depth reviews and recommendations from a highly experienced and dedicated court investigator who annually meets at length with Britney and all involved in her conservatorship,” the statement reads. “Britney’s Conservatorship of the Estate was co-managed by a private professional fiduciary and her father until early 2019.

“I Watch Japanese Porn”: Gunplay Addresses Anti-Asian Comment Backlash
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Prince Williams / Getty Rapper Gunplay is addressing his racist comments after footage surfaced showing him hurling a number of deeply offensive comments and anti-Asian slurs at someone on Instagram Live. On Sunday a video was posted online that featured the Florida rapper seemingly going off on a fan, before spewing a racial epithet along with several offensive stereotypes, including accusing the fan of spreading the telenovel coronavirus by telling him to “get off” of his live, before he “makes it get coronavirus.” Before later pulling a page out of the Trump playbook by referring to coronavirus as the racist title, “China virus,” an inaccurate and inflammatory term which has become a staple among racists over the past year. “You f**king Chinese g**k.
