DGA Says WBD-Netflix Talks Raise “Significant Concerns”

The Directors Guild of America says it plans to meet with Netflix to discuss “concerns” regarding the streamer’s potential acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.

After news broke Thursday night that Netflix had won the bidding war for the legacy media company and the two would be entering exclusive talks to secure a deal, a guild spokesperson told Deadline that the development “raises significant concerns for the DGA.”

“We believe that a vibrant, competitive industry — one that fosters creativity and encourages genuine competition for talent — is essential to safeguarding the careers and creative rights of directors and their teams. We will be meeting with Netflix to outline our concerns and better understand their vision for the future of the company. While we undertake this due diligence we will not be commenting further,” the statement continued.

The DGA is the first, but likely not the last, Hollywood union to comment on the latest development in the WBD acquisition saga. The Writers Guild of America East and West said in a joint statement in October that they planned to block any potential merger of WBD and Paramount, warning that further media consolidation “would be a disaster for writers, for consumers, and for competition.”

Thursday was a tumultuous day that saw Paramount move aggressively to counter Netflix’s offer and seal a deal of its own for WBD. According to sources, Netflix offered around $28 a share for the company, mostly in cash.

WBD put itself on the block in October to open up the process after receiving three consecutive offers from Paramount. Warner has hoped to get a deal in place by mid-to-late December.

Yungblud has canceled the remainder of his tour dates scheduled in 2025 due to medical concerns. In a statement posted to Instagram over the weekend, the young rocker shared that, “This week when I got home off the road, and went to have some tests done (like I usually do) and my voice and blood tests have raised some concerns. I have been ordered by my doctor to take a break from touring until the end of the year.”

“It is in my nature to run and run until I run myself to the ground without giving a fuck about anything apart from the music and you guys but this time I’ve been told I have to take it seriously and I can’t fuck around,” Yungblud added. “I don’t want to do any lasting damage to myself, we are on a journey that I want to last forever. I understand that some of you will be so frustrated. I just want you to know that this is so hard for me to do but I promise I will make it up to you.”

As a result, Yungblud has canceled upcoming dates scheduled in Philadelphia, Cleveland, Washington, Mexico City, and Latin America.

The good news is Yungblud is due back on the road next year: his massive “IDOLS Tour” will hit North America next spring (tickets here), and he says he’s also planning to announce his own headlining shows in Mexico and Latin America.

Is Aisha Hinds Leaving ‘9-1-1’? How 2026 Return Promo Teases Hen Concerns

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Uh-oh, is there another shake-up coming to the 118 when 9-1-1 returns with its next new episode on Thursday, January 8, 2026? The promo and what’s been going on with Hen (Aisha Hinds) suggests that could be a strong possibility.

In the November 13 fall finale, titled “Family History,” Hen began showing some worrying signs. There was what she wrote off as a rash and possible allergic reaction on her hand, then a hand tremor in the middle of a call. Then, at home alone, she collapsed and was unconscious long enough for it to turn from day to night. When her wife, Karen (Tracie Thoms), calling woke her, she lied and said she was stuck at work.

Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) noticed her stumble, but Hen brushed it off and then asked the former nurse about her symptoms, claiming they had been a patient’s. She did, however, latch onto something Maddie said during the conversation, leading to her going to a medical spa for a CT at the end of the episode.

Now, the promo for the January 8 return, which you can watch above, shows Hen talking to Athena (Angela Bassett) and it at least makes it look like she’s filled her best friend in on what’s going on. “I know I gotta tell them,” Hen says. “I’m just not ready for this to be the end of my story.”

Hen’s hand tremor comes up again, this time during a call with a woman in active labor, and she tells Eddie (Ryan Guzman) to glove up. “What?” he asks, confused.

Then, the 118 is called to a fire, and Chimney (Kenneth Choi), now the permanent captain, issues orders, including putting Hen on search and rescue. However, the video ends with her taking off her mask and collapsing. Will this be the point she can no longer hide what’s going on from the others?

This can’t be setting up Aisha Hinds’ exit, right?! Something tells us this will end up being something that can be treated but might mean another change, at least temporarily, at the 118.

What’s your theory about what’s going on with Hen? Let us know in the comments section below.

Disturbed’s Belgium Concert Reportedly Canceled Due to Safety Concerns

written by jummy84

Disturbed’s upcoming concert in Brussels, Belgium has reportedly been canceled due to safety concerns stemming from singer David Draiman’s support of Israel.

The heavy metal band, as well as Megadeth, were scheduled to perform at the Belgian city’s Forest National venue on Oct. 15. However, the mayor of the municipality where the concert was to take place told the Brussels Times that he ordered the show to be canceled, citing “security risks.”

“My responsibility and priority are the safety of residents, neighbors, demonstrators, spectators and staff at Forest National,” Charles Spapens, the mayor of Forest, told the newspaper. “Given the police’s negative advice and the venue’s unique location, it was my duty to make this decision.”

Months earlier, Spapens lobbied for the gig’s cancellation, noting the controversial photo of Draiman signing an IDF bomb with “Fuck Hamas” during a visit to Israel. “This is about a man who signed a bomb that was dropped on Gaza. We do not support the presence of this artist, and even less so his position on Gaza,” Spapens said, calling the concert “a moral problem.”

Trending Stories

Coupled with the “c,” the concert was also scheduled to take place one day after a national strike and other demonstrations, including a prison staff strike in Brussels on Oct. 14, further causing the mayor and local authorities to reassess the Disturbed show, NME reports.

Despite Spapens’ declaration that the Disturbed concert is canceled, tickets for the gig are still listed on Live Nation, as well as still included on the band’s tour website. Disturbed have not yet commented on the Brussels show’s status. The group performed Friday night in Krakow, Poland, and is next set to play Paris, France on Sunday.

Kody Brown Once Claimed He Never Loved Meri Brown

Love is meant to be multiplied, not subtracted. And yet Kody admitted he did just that with his previous claims that he never loved his ex wives. 

“It’s more of like a knee jerk reaction,” he said during the June 15 one-on-one special, insisting he was reeling from them “trashing” him. “I was deep in the throes of reactionary vitriol for the past three years.”

Which is why, he said, he alluded to Meri that he never truly loved her while they were spending their anniversary together. 

Recounting the conversation to a pal in a September 2024 episode, Meri insisted she knew he loved her.

But if he didn’t, the mom to Leon Brown said in a confessional, why did he ever propose? 

“When a single young man meets a single young woman, why would he choose to marry her and just affirm and force love for her when he didn’t love her?” she wondered. “How cruel is that? To pick me out of a crowd and just be like, ‘I pick you to try to force myself to love for the next 32 years’?” 

Kody’s response, he shared in his own confessional: “Oh, Meri has her little accusations now.”

Though, he would share that they never enjoyed a honeymoon period.

“This marriage was on the rocks the entire marriage,” he insisted on the Oct. 20 episode. “And how would I know that? Because I had such a better relationship with Janelle, with Christine, with Robyn.”

But he stayed out of fear, noting, “Leadership will never allow you to marry again if you’re discarding wives.”

NBA YoungBoy’s Manager Says United Center ‘B*tched Out’ After Chicago Concert Is Abruptly Canceled Allegedly Over Safety Concerns

Sorry in advance to those of you who thought you were seeing #NBAYoungBoy live this week in Chicago.

The #UnitedCenter has canceled the rapper’s show scheduled for Wednesday (Sept. 24). While the venue cited unspecified reasons for the abrupt cancellation, it’s highly speculated that it has to do with safety concerns. #Ticketmaster has issued automatic refunds to those who purchased tickets through its platform. For third-party purchases, attendees are advised to contact their point of purchase directly.

The cancellation follows the venue’s recent implementation of a strict no-bag policy for the event, prohibiting all bags, including clear ones. NBA YoungBoy’s manager expressed frustration on Instagram, stating, “United Center b!tched out,” and even slammed the person he believes made the final call.

This concert was part of NBA YoungBoy’s “Make America Slime Again” tour, which includes over two dozen U.S. dates through November.
