It was a little bit lost in yesterday’s news about Prince Harry becoming Better Up’s Chief Impact Officer, but the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reshuffled their staff. The British papers reported a partial, negative version of the reshuffle, which was basically that Archewell’s executive director Catherine St. Laurent was leaving her post. Buried deep in the British media’s reporting was the confirmation that while St. Laurent was leaving the executive position, she plans to stay on in an advisory role for the foundation. Given the other moves in the reshuffle, it sounded to me like Meghan and Harry are both narrowing their focus on what they want Archewell’s charity arm to do, and they have a better idea of who they need in which position to make it happen. But please allow the Telegraph (by way of the Mail) to twist this into another story insinuating that Meghan and Harry bully their staff:

Harry and Meghan’s chief of staff is said to have ‘wanted out’ after finding herself ‘having to fulfil a great many functions for the couple’, insiders have claimed today. Catherine St Laurent was head-hunted by the couple from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to become their ‘chief of staff’ and executive director of Archewell, their new non-profit organisation, last April.

But yesterday it emerged that the Canadian-born mother-of-two had unexpectedly left her post just 11 months into the job. Insiders say Ms St Laurent ‘wanted out’ after performing tasks outside of her contract, according to The Telegraph.

One source told The Telegraph: ‘I think there was a sense that she was having to fulfil a great many functions for the couple – not all of which were necessarily in her job spec.’

Harry and Meghan were dogged by a spate of departures from their ranks as working royals, losing at least two PAs as well as other key staff from their private office. Ms St Laurent was head-hunted by the couple from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to become their ‘chief of staff’ and executive director of Archewell, their new non-profit organisation, last April.

The couple called her an ‘incredible asset’ when they announced her appointment, adding: ‘We are excited to have her on our team.’ But yesterday it emerged that the Canadian-born mother-of-two has unexpectedly left her post. There was no comment from her directly, but according to the New York Post, Miss St Laurent has already stepped down, although she will continue to work with Archewell in an ‘advisory’ role.

She will be replaced as Archewell’s executive director by the couple’s current communications officer in the UK, James Holt. Reports suggest they have no immediate plans to replace him, leaving the Duke and Duchess of Sussex without any official representation in Britain and all their media relations now being handled in the US.

One royal insider expressed surprise at Miss St Laurent’s departure, telling the Mail: ‘She was a huge appointment for them. A big hitter with a great track record, poached to head up their new working life in the US. It is really quite astonishing she has left that role after less than a year.’

Miss St Laurent is apparently launching her own new ‘social impact firm’, supported by and working with Archewell.

First, let me say this – it’s one thing for Jason Knauf and Kensington Palace to orchestrate a long-con sabotage of a full-time working royal and leak a partial version of their sabotage as part of a larger character assassination/smear campaign. It’s quite another for Kensington Palace “sources” to openly lie about a Canadian citizen’s reasons for leaving a certain role in an American foundation. The Telegraph might find itself getting sued and slapped down hard. And I’m really shocked that “palace sources” are going to the Telegraph to cast aspersions on the executive staffing decisions in an independently-operated, American-based foundation.

As for the actual story… they can’t even make up their minds about what went wrong or why St. Laurent “left.” Did she leave because Harry and Meghan were “demanding” and someone might have emailed someone else at 5 am? LOL. Or did St. Laurent simply want to start her own firm/business and also wanted to continue helping Archewell in an advisory role? Anyway, the real story is that Kensington Palace still thinks they can leak against Harry & Meghan and claim that Meghan is “bullying” staffers even now that the Sussexes have been in America for more than a year.

I never crushed on Orlando Bloom, even back when he was the Hot Young Thing in the early and mid-00s. Sure, he was pretty back then, but I just wasn’t into him. His attractiveness definitely waned quite a bit over the years, as bad career choices and weird gossip moments consumed the last decade. I mean, he genuinely tried to fist-fight Justin Bieber. He genuinely started dating Selena Gomez to get back at Bieber. It was a mess!! But Orlando “settled down” and fell for Katy Perry and now they have a baby girl, Daisy Dove. He also has a son with his ex-wife Miranda Kerr. I thought he was kind of quiet and very much the ageing former heartthrob. I didn’t realize that he’s kind of a douche before now though. Orlando did “The Q&A” with the Guardian and his answers have gone viral in the worst way. Some highlights:

When were you happiest?
When I was about to embark on filming The Lord Of The Rings, prior to any kind of fame or notoriety, full of hope and dreams, and excitement of the adventures ahead.

What is your earliest memory?
Harry Bloom, my mother’s husband, came out of his office and said, “Hello, Orlando” and smiled. He’d just had a stroke and this line of drool came from his mouth, and it made me feel weird. I must have been three.

What is the trait you most deplore in others?
Entitlement.

What was your most embarrassing moment?
When I was four, I was on stage, dressed as a monkey. I turned around so I wasn’t facing the audience and scratched my bottom, which obviously brought the house down. It mortified me. That probably gave me stage fright, which I’ve been living with since.

What is your most treasured possession?
My gohonzon, a Buddhist scroll that I chant to every day.

What or who is the greatest love of your life?
My son, Flynn, and my daughter, Daisy Dove, a dog called Mighty and then, of course, my fiancee.

What is the closest you’ve come to death?
At 20, I fell from a fourth-floor window and broke my back. For four days they said I’d never walk again, but I had a miraculous recovery.

When did you last cry, and why?
I lost my poodle, Mighty. He was out of my sight for just seven minutes; he went out on an adventure and didn’t come back, and was taken by a coyote, I think. It was awful, really painful; he taught me about love and loyalty, and how the connection between living beings can be.

How often do you have sex?
Not enough – we just had a baby, though.

What is your most unappealing habit?
Since breaking my back I have a problem with my prostate, so I pee a lot, sometimes in nature.

[From The Guardian]

I gasped a little at his “first memory” being that his father drooled after he had a stroke. In case you don’t know – I had to look it up – Orlando’s mother told him that her husband, Harry Bloom, was his father and then later Orlando learned that his actual father was someone else. So… that’s a lot to unpack and I hope he’s gotten some therapy for all of that. As for his comment that there’s “not enough” sex in his life, again… Katy just had the baby! And I hope Katy never has sex with him again after he named his dead dog before her in the list of things and people he loves. And he was happiest just before he started LOTR? His happiest moments weren’t when his children were born?!?!

Warning this is gross, you can imagine how gross it is from the title
First if all, I know this sounds like a case of someone sneaking a foreign object into food and claiming it was there all along, but I’ve been reading this thread and am convinced. Jensen Karp is a writer, comedian and podcaster who is married to Danielle Fishel, the actress who played Topanga on Boy Meets World. He found shrimp tails and what looks like rat poop baked into the cereal in a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch he bought at a Costco. Yes he ate some before he noticed it. He tweeted the photo below and shared screenshots of the way the company’s social media person, and their official email account completely screwed up their response to him.

Ummmm @CTCSquares – why are there shrimp tails in my cereal? (This is not a bit) pic.twitter.com/tTjiAdrnVp

— Jensen Karp (@JensenKarp) March 22, 2021

Also, many of the squares have black marks, and some are dyed red? And yes, I ate a bowl before noticing all this. pic.twitter.com/Y9WWmsTznP

— Jensen Karp (@JensenKarp) March 22, 2021

Stuff like this is all at the bottom of the bag, and what appears to be cooked ONTO some squares. Please be nice with your guesses l, because I will walk into traffic if I ate what I think it is… pic.twitter.com/Zs7ZDygTxA

— Jensen Karp (@JensenKarp) March 23, 2021

At first the Cinnamon Toast Crunch social media person dismissed it, telling him it was sugar clumps.

Ok, we’ll after further investigation with my eyes, these are cinnamon coated SHRIMP TAILS, you weirdos. I wasn’t all that mad until you now tried to gaslight me? https://t.co/7DmADmoqUt pic.twitter.com/rSLE60pvoy

— Jensen Karp (@JensenKarp) March 22, 2021

My point is – their initial reaction to shellfish being in the bag was to tell me it was sugar. Not to investigate the issue or look into it. It’s a deadly allergy to many (and non-Kosher) and that didn’t seem to matter beyond offering me a new box.

— Jensen Karp (@JensenKarp) March 23, 2021

They then told him he could send the pieces to them for analysis in an envelope, which they changed to having FedEx pick it up. They also claimed to have left him a message, which they did not.

I plan on continuing full transparency for those concerned about their products. This is the first I’ve heard from them since yesterday (when they said they were sending an envelope) and my new response. pic.twitter.com/EYugRvLbtC

— Jensen Karp (@JensenKarp) March 23, 2021

After that they told him to go to the police, which is so ridiculous!

I can’t believe this in a real life, publicly traded company. pic.twitter.com/v5fAz2SSyM

— Jensen Karp (@JensenKarp) March 23, 2021

Because of how much General Mills screwed up their response, he decided to bring the box to a lab for testing.

They also are paying for this to be done, which is helpful when a corporation is telling the internet I actually found wads of sugar. So basically, my shrimp got a scholarship.

— Jensen Karp (@JensenKarp) March 24, 2021

We’re going to a lab pic.twitter.com/utlWpU1k4I

— Jensen Karp (@JensenKarp) March 23, 2021

As of publication, he is still waiting for results but what else could it be?

What if his kid ate this? It’s one thing if I ate it, but I would be livid if my child ate this! (He still eats stuff off the floor, but still.) What if someone who was allergic to fish ate this? I hate to imagine the scenarios where half eaten shrimp and rat droppings end up baked into a cereal, but they are not good and are making me rethink my consumption of just about all packaged food. I watch a lot of How It’s Made and some of the vats in those factories are huge. Hopefully this is just a one off but I bet it points to a problem at a specific place. General Mills has a huge PR problem now that they handled this so poorly.

Also, if you saw my response to this thread it’s a line and gif from Shark Tales! I know hardly anyone remembers that movie but my kid used to watch it a lot.

But is it accumulated sugar, you doofs? https://t.co/mIJesHsNDm

— Jensen Karp (@JensenKarp) March 23, 2021

I can’t believe this is all factually correct. https://t.co/imBd8Ts62c

— Jensen Karp (@JensenKarp) March 24, 2021

If you get paid to tweet stuff like “Oatmeal is bae” and “tfw you drink our lemonade” – let them handle the stuff above your pay grade. This isn’t what you were hired for. They have entire PR teams and crisis management groups. You’re good at memes and this isn’t fair to you.

As we know, Prince William’s default emotion is rage, anger, incandescence. What’s interesting is how much of a slow-burn rager this is turning out to be. The Sussexes’ Oprah interview aired over two full weeks ago and William hasn’t been right since. First he tried to shove his Single White Female wife under the bus, under the guise of being full of rage about Kate being brutalized by Meghan’s correction of Kate’s long-standing lies. But slowly but surely, the Other Brother is taking his place at the center of all of this chaos. Harry said Charles and William are trapped in the system, that they are weak men who are terrified of the media and terrified of things “looking bad.” William didn’t understand what Harry meant. Which is why all of this has been happening. William has been forcing this series of bizarre narratives about how his head is “all over the place” but look, he’s also the “gatekeeper” of the family, and look, he’s also incandescent yet sad because Harry won’t be there to help lazy King Baldingham. And on and on. As for Harry’s “trapped” comment… Katie Nicholl has an update:

Prince William isn’t pleased with how he was portrayed by his brother, Prince Harry, during his explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this month, royal expert Katie Nicholl tells ET. The 38-year-old Duke of Cambridge publicly refuted Harry’s claims of racism within the royal family, but Nicholl says that privately he’s also upset by some of Harry’s other statements.

“We’re hearing reports that Prince William felt quite affronted by the claims that Harry made in the interview, not only to the suggestion of racism within the royal family.. …We’ve also heard through friends of William who have spoken to the newspapers over here that he really rejects that suggestion from his brother that he feels ‘trapped’ by the firm, that he feels trapped by his future role,” Nicholl says. “If you speak to the sources close to William, they say this is very much not the case. He’s very willing to embrace his destiny as a future king, and he’s very happy to step up to his responsibilities.”

Nicholl says that the public shouldn’t expect any further statements from the royal family in the wake of the interview. “Clearly we’re quite a ways off from seeing any healing of this rift, but certainly my understanding from the Cambridge camp is that if everything is going to be scrutinized and dissected in the media, then there’s really no chance of them moving on from this,” Nicholl shares. “I think that you’re going to hear less and less about the current state of the relationship with the brothers for the simple reason that every time something is leaked to the media, it sets those peace talks back.”

This summer’s deadline of the Princess Diana statue unveiling in the gardens of Kensington Palace has put pressure on the brothers’ peace talks. “It’s really important to the royal family, but I think particularly Prince William, that William and Harry are there shoulder by shoulder,” Nicholl says of the event coming up in July. “There is a lot of work, clearly, to be done for this relationship to repair. That building of trust is obviously very important.”

[From ET]

I’m enjoying the very common theme among royal reporters that Harry is somehow desperately seeking reconciliation, or that Harry is hellbent on returning to that dusty, salty isle in any way. They just can’t get it through their heads that Harry is quite happy to build a life for himself in America with his wife and children. Harry isn’t beating down anyone’s door, begging for reconciliation. He’s asking for respect. Respect for himself and his wife and their children. And if William and Charles can’t give them that respect, then who cares? Not Harry.

As for William feeling “quite affronted” and feeling “very willing to embrace his destiny as a future king, and he’s very happy to step up to his responsibilities.” Well… it’s a relatively new thing for him. William only wanted to be king when Harry and Meghan became so popular and rage-monster Willy wanted to stomp his feet and have them exiled like a real despot would. I still remember all of those Times of London pieces around the spring of 2019, about how William had finally been coaxed into embracing his “future king” status. This change in Baldingham only happened in his late 30s, mind you. Before H&M became the most charismatic and popular royals, Other Brother was happy to f–k off in Norfolk, play-acting a keen country squire and eating the cheese-on-toast made by Carole Middleton. Besides all of that… the Other Brother IS trapped and weak and angry. But William doesn’t even understand his own predicament because in addition to being trapped, weak and angry, he’s also dumb as a box of wiglets.

Last Summer, Ellen DeGeneres’ tightly controlled bubble popped when allegations of a toxic work environment went wide. Her less-than-pleasant work personality been an open secret in Hollywood for years, but the story blew up in a Buzzfeed expose. For months we didn’t know if her show would be canceled or if Ellen would be replaced. In the end, Ellen used her first in studio show since her COVID hiatus to apologize for what she claimed she had just learned. The apology was met with a mixed response. After three key firings, the matter was seemingly swept under the rug and forgotten. Or was it? Because according to Ellen’s Neilson ratings, Ellen lost over a million viewers. That is such a drop it calls the future of her show into question.

Viewers tuned in for the apology: This year’s season opener had the highest ratings for an “Ellen” premiere in four years. And then they tuned out. “Ellen” has lost more than a million viewers since September, according to the research firm Nielsen, averaging 1.5 million viewers over the last six months, down from 2.6 million in the same period last year.

The show’s loss of more than a million viewers translates to a 43 percent decline, representing a steeper drop than any of its competitors. This TV season, “Ellen,” the winner of dozens of Emmys since its start in 2003, is no longer in the same league as traditional rivals like “Dr. Phil” (2.5 million) and “Live: With Kelly and Ryan” (2.7 million). Now it finds itself uncomfortably close to shows hosted by Maury Povich (1.4 million), Kelly Clarkson (1.3 million), Rachael Ray (1.2 million), Tamron Hall (1.1 million) and Jerry Springer’s former security guard Steve Wilkos (1.1 million).

The loss of viewers includes a 38 percent decline in her core audience, adult women under 54, according to Nielsen. And it appears to have put a dent in the show’s ad revenue.
From September to January of the 2019-20 season, “Ellen” brought in $131 million from advertisers, according to the research firm Kantar. That has fallen to $105 million for the same period in 2020-21, a drop of about 20 percent.

Ms. DeGeneres, 63, has publicly mused on the possibility of leaving the show in recent years, and the spotlight on her workplace troubles has added to the questions about her future. Her talk-show contract runs through next year.

Warner Bros., the division of AT&T’s WarnerMedia that produces “Ellen,” confirmed that the show would return for a 19th season in September, after her usual summer hiatus. A spokeswoman for Ms. DeGeneres declined to comment when asked if the 2021-22 television season would be her last.

“‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ remains one of the top three highest-rated syndicated talk shows this season,” David McGuire, an executive vice president of programming at Telepictures, a Warner Bros. subsidiary, said in a statement. He suggested other reasons for the decline, like changing viewing habits during the pandemic.

“While broadcast is down across the board and Covid has been challenging for production, we are looking forward to bringing back our live audiences and a 19th season filled with all of the hilarious and heartwarming moments that have made ‘Ellen’ one of the longest running and most successful talk shows in history,” he added.

[From The New York Times]

The article points out that even if the show drops, Ellen is so far in bed with WarnerMedia, she has little to worry about from a business perspective. She has several shows in the works with them like that new Kristen Bell game show she’s producing. In addition, she’s got a separate deal with Discovery. Most of us felt Ellen would handle the situation exactly like she did, with a semi-culpable apology, some public firings and that’s it. So I’m glad the show is getting hit where it hurts. Ellen’s handling of this mess has shown that she wants the controversy to go away, not that she wants to improve. Plus, her show is stale anyway. As Kaiser’s been saying for a while, Ellen seems over it.

The last part of the article addresses Ellen’s attempt to cling on to her reputation:

As Ms. DeGeneres fights through a loss in popularity, she has turned to celebrity friends to help her make the case that there is not much difference between the on-camera Ellen and the real Ellen. When Michelle Obama was a virtual guest last week, she spoke warmly about the time she went to Ms. DeGeneres’s house and they played a piano duet together. A video clip of the pair at the piano was shown.

Another recent guest, Jennifer Garner, also appearing remotely, raced to her hotel room balcony at the host’s request to tell passers-by how much she adored Ms. DeGeneres. “I love her!” Ms. Garner shouted. “She’s kind! She’s a humanitarian! She loves animals!”

This reminds me of her high school reunion show, which was when I started to change my opinion of Ellen. She couldn’t attend her reunion in Texas, so she paid to have everyone come to her studio. It was so uncomfortable. When she greeted them, she was clearly uncomfortable as they approached her, which they had obviously been coached to do. She even pushed a few back. She spent the rest of show asking her classmates to talk about her. Every time they tried to veer from the subject of her, she’d bring them back. And it wasn’t in a talk show way, either. It felt like the conversation she would’ve had had if she’d gone to the reunion in person. I honestly think all those celebrities that issued those terrible “Ellen is great” statements when things were going down this summer were doing so because she asked them to.

I kept forgetting about Pippa Middleton’s pregnancy (she gave birth to a girl last week) and I kept forgetting about Zara Tindall’s pregnancy. Mike Tindall announced they were expecting back in December on his podcast, and he seemed thrilled about it. Another Covid baby, it seems, and perhaps their last shot at “getting the boy” after two daughters, Mia and Lena. Well, they got the boy!

Congratulations are in order for Zara Tindall and her husband Mike. The couple have welcomed their third child together – a bouncing baby boy.

A spokeswoman for the couple confirmed on Wednesday: “Zara and Mike Tindall are happy to announce the birth of their third child, Lucas Philip Tindall.” The baby was born at the couple’s home in Gatcombe Park on Sunday 21 March, weighing 8lbs 4oz.

Zara, who is the Queen’s eldest granddaughter, and her husband Mike are already the proud parents to two daughters – their firstborn Mia, who is seven, and Lena, who turns three in mid-June.

The former England rugby player, 42, had previously revealed he would like to have a boy. In December, he announced his wife’s pregnancy on his podcast The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, telling his co-hosts James Haskell and Alex Payne: “It’s been a good week for me, had a little scan last week – third Tindall on its way. I’d like a boy this time, I’ve got two girls, I would like a boy. I’ll love it whether a boy or a girl – but please be a boy!”

[From Hello]

It should be noted that despite the blokey energy of “please be a boy,” Mike seemed to love being a “girl dad” and I’m sure he would have been fine with three girls. Still, I’m happy that they got their boy. Lucas Philip… the middle name is for Zara’s grandfather (and the child’s great-grandfather). I wonder if Lucas has a family connection (perhaps to Mike’s family) or if it was just a name they liked? Mia, Lena and Lucas… cute names, more on the trendy side rather than Victorian/Edwardian royal side. Befitting the children of the “commoner” granddaughter of the Queen.

As for Zara’s home birth, at first I was surprised because of her age (she’s a few months shy of 40) and her history of difficult pregnancies, miscarriages and tough childbirths. Her girls were born in a hospital! But as it turns out, Zara went into labor at home and everything happened really quickly, and they knew they wouldn’t have time to make it to the hospital. Tindall said as much on his podcast today:

“[The baby] arrived very quickly, didn’t make it to hospital, on the bathroom floor. Fortunately Zara’s friend, Dolly, is actually more important than I am at making sure…she’s been at every three of my children’s births. She was there and recognised that we wouldn’t have got to the hospital in time. So it was running to the gym, get a mat, get into the bathroom, get the mat on the floor, towels down, brace, brace, brace. Fortunately, the midwife who was going to meet us at the hospital wasn’t that far away. So she drove up, got there just as we’d assumed the position. The second the midwife arrived was just after the head arrived.”

[From The Daily Express]

Wow! That sounds chaotic but I’m glad that there were no complications and Zara and Lucas are doing well.

Falcon and The Winter Soldier dropped its first episode this Friday on Disney+. FATWS is the second of the Marvel + Disney series to come out this year on Disney+ (originally it was supposed to be released ahead of WandaVision). With WandaVision being so successful everyone was wondering if TFTWS would have the same amazing storytelling and popularity. FATWS currently has a 93% Tomatometer Rating. And if that isn’t an indication of how popular and well-received the show is, Disney+ has released the viewership numbers from the weekend.

FATWS had the highest streaming numbers on the platform of any original series ever. FATWS outperformed both WandaVision and The Mandalorian seasons one and two. With both WandaVision and FATWS doing well, it would seem that Disney and Marvel have created a winning formula for the small screen. Below is more on the story from Deadline:

Disney+ says that The Falcon and The Winter Soldier ranks as the most watched series premiere ever for the streaming service during its opening weekend, Friday, March 19 – Sunday, March 22, and the most watched title overall for the same time period on a global basis, including in Disney+ Hotstar markets. No viewership numbers were provided whatsoever.

Disney+ did not provide any degree of viewers for Falcon and the Winter Soldier specifically in regards to WandaVision‘s weekend premiere or The Mandalorian‘s season 1 or 2’s weekend premieres. The streaming service only mentioned that Falcon, WandaVision and season 2 of Mandalorian are the streaming service’s top three most watched weekend premieres.

SambaTV however reports that 1.7 million households tuned into Falcon and the Winter Soldier last weekend for at least five minutes besting the 1.6M who tuned into WandaVision‘s opening weekend. SambaTV collects data from terrestrial TVs.

Disney’s latest Marvel TV show had 759k US HHs tune in on Friday, beating WandaVision‘s premiere day tune in (655k households on Friday, Jan. 15), but not quite the 1.0M US HHs that watched The Mandalorian‘s Season 2 premiere on the first day.

[From Deadline]

Mild spoilers for FATWS below
I watched the first episode of Falcon and the Winter Soldier over the weekend. I enjoyed WandaVision and was looking forward to FATWS because I of Bucky and Sam’s bromance. I will not be giving a recap of the episode but you can read one here. I enjoyed the first episode and I am looking forward to the next five. My only complaint is that I thought it was too short and when it ended I felt like I was robbed. In true Marvel fashion FATWS leaves you hanging in the wind. I look forward to seeing what happens with the shield and seeing Sam and Bucky together as they didn’t get any air time together in the first episode. I am happy to see that TFATWS is off to a good start with these numbers. 1.7 million viewers in nothing to sneeze at for a subscription platform. I also like that Marvel and Disney are bringing the same energy and spectacle from the movies to the shows. I feel as if I am watching forty-five minute movies every week. For the longest times Marvel dominated in the theaters and the DCEU dominated the small screen, but it looks like Marvel will definitely rival the DCEU television programs. I will be getting my 2nd dose of Moderna on Friday and I hear you can get flu like symptoms for a day or two. So I will be laid up with my tomato soup watching Falcon and the Winter Soldier and whatever else I can find.

The British royal family insists that they had plans to bring in a “diversity tsar” well before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Television Event of the Year. If that’s really the case, why is it that they’re calling it a “TSAR”, a piss-poor choice of words for someone whose job it will be to promot…

It was confirmed today that Prince Harry now has a job. He is the Chief Impact Officer at a Silicon Valley startup called BetterUp which provides “coaching and mental health services” to corporate clients. The Wall Street Journal first reported the news: Harry’s bio has already been added to the lea…

It feels like a draft, doesn’t it? A filmmaker has an indie breakout hit, and then they get drafted by one of three teams: Marvel, DC, or Lucasfilm. The latest draftee is Emerald Fennell, fresh off her triple Oscar-nomination and Writers’ Guild Awards win for Promising Young Woman. She has signed on…
