Often, artists, musicians, and actors need to take a break from their busy day-to-day work in order to rest or devote their attention to hobbies and/or extracurricular activities outside of their career.

During an interview on Thursday with Entertainment Tonight, the  Red Sparrow actress announced that she plans on taking a year off from acting in films.

Lawrence wants to work with an organization called Represent.Us, a non-profit organization whose mission is to “to pass tough anti-corruption laws in cities and states across America, and end the legalized corruption that has come to define modern politics.” Lawrence told Entertainment Tonight that “It doesn’t have anything to do with partisan [politics].” This specific move aligns with Lawrence’s past initiatives including her involvement in The Women’s March and being a voice for the women of Hollywood; advocating for equal and fair pay for both women and men in the film industry.

However, according to her representative, Lawrence will still be acting in films throughout the year. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Lawrence’s representative stated that she “will return to work when one of [her] several projects in development is ready to go.”

In the meantime, Red Sparrow hits theaters March 2, 2018.

First trailer for the highly anticipated web series, Cobra Kai, is finally here. Cobra Kai follows the lives of old rivals Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) 34 years after the events of The Karate Kid.

Lawrence, wishing to seek redemption, re-opens the infamous Cobra Kai dojo, as seen in the original film. This sparks the rivarly with Daniel LaRusso who has led a very successful life.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Cobra Kai will premiere in 2018 exclusively on You Tube Red, a paid advertisement-free streaming service priced at $10 per month. The web series will consist of ten, 30 minute episodes.

In the trailer, the audience experiences a taste of the bitter rivalry between the two men. “I just don’t know why you’d ever want to bring back Cobra Kai,” says Daniel LaRusso to Johnny Lawrence. Then we see the three mantras of the Cobra Kai dojo: Strike First, Strike Hard and No Mercy.

Lawrence trains his new students that “We are not trained to be merciful here. Mercy is for the weak.” LaRusso responds by saying “you may know the moves, but none of that matters unless you have balance.” The end of the trailer shows a middle-aged LaRusso and Lawrence meeting face-to-face and ready to fight! It looks Lawrence did not learn his lesson 34 years ago.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg wrote the premise of the series. Hurwitz and Schlossberg will direct all ten episodes of the web series.

Actor Luke Wilson is being hailed as a hero after he helped rescue a woman during a deadly Los Angeles car crash that also involved golfer Bill Haas on Tuesday night.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor, known for Idiocracy, Old School, and Legally Blonde, was involved in a three vehicle collision. According to witnesses, a driver of a Ferrari lost control and hit a woman driving a BMW and Wilson’s car.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, 46 year old Sean Heirigs explained that he noticed that the woman in the BMW was “crying, she’s screaming, she doesn’t really know what happened and she was dangling into the passenger side,” because her lug was stuck in the car.

He adds that he and Wilson were able to free the woman from the smoking car and “this was all going on while the Ferrari’s wheels are still spinning and blowing rubber and smoke everywhere, and it’s loud, and you’re smelling lots of smoke and there’s glass.”

Police later identified that the dead driver of the Ferrari was Mark William Gibello of Pacific Palisades. Bill Haas, PGA golfer, was in the passenger’s seat of the Ferrari at the time of this automotive accident. Although there were no serious injuries, according to Allen Hobbs, Haas’ manager, Haas withdrew his spot from the Genesis Open.

Police are still investigating if speed was a factor in this automotive incident.

How far would a screenwriter go to expose a director, producer or studio for copyright infringement of source material? Currently, Disney is being sued by Gary L. Goldman, known for Total Recall, who claims he wrote the material which was later used in Zootopia.

Zootopia (2016) was directed  by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, known for Bolt (2008), Tangled (2010) and features the voices of Ginnifer Goodwin as Officer Judy Hopps, Jason Bateman as Nick Wilde,and Idris Elba as Chief Bogo. The film grossed over $1.2 billion against an $150 million budget.

Goldman, along with Esplanade Productions, claims that Disney took his ideas for his pitch of Zootopia and turned it into a movie without his permission.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, back in November 2017, the case was dismissed in Federal Court by Federal Judge Michael Fitzgerald, who stated that “The similarities between Goldman’s work and Zootopia are not many or ‘striking’; they are few, random, and superficial.” On February 13th Esplanade Productions filed a complaint to bring the lawsuit back into court.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Esplanade Productions stated that “Disney used Goldman’s concept for Zootopia as ‘a metaphor for life and for America,’ where ‘an animal can be whatever he wants to be.’ Thus, Esplanade is informed and believes that Disney did not create its Zootopia from scratch but, rather, used Goldman’s materials as the basis for its movie.”

Esplanade Productions along with Goldman are seeking compensatory damages and an injunction against Disney for using anymore elements of Goldman’s initial pitch of Zootopia.

What would it be like to live in a house which was used in a movie or television series? For Dr. Ernst R. von Schwartz and Pier Angela Oakenfold it has been a nightmare living in the “Murder House.” Back in 2015, the couple purchased the infamous ‘Murder House’ which was used in the first season of  FX’s anthology series American Horror Story.

Recently, the married couple spoke on CBS This Morning and they stated that a lawsuit has been brought against the previous owners and Real Estate agency of $3 million because both parties did not inform them that this mansion was featured in a television series, which has a very loyal and crazed fan base.

According to CBS News, the couple explain that on a daily basis there are hundreds of fans that try to trespass in order to get a closer look at the house. In order to give themselves some privacy, the couple even built a fence around the house, but this defense has done nothing to keep the fans from trespassing and taking pictures of the property.

According to Variety, the couple does not wish to sell the mansion, but are seeking punitive and compensatory damages. In an interview with CBS News, Schwartz argued that “We feel like they cheated us. We want to live here of course, but it’s very difficult especially since we don’t feel safe.”

Taylor Swift was brought into Federal Court on Tuesday for a copyright infringement lawsuit from Songwriters Sean Hall and Nathan Butler who wrote and composed “Playas Gon’ Play.”

Hall and Butler filed the lawsuit with their lawyers last fall because they claim that Taylor Swift’s song “Shake it Off” holds a similar resemblance to their song. They specifically claim that the line “Players gonna play, play, play, play, play, and haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate,” is very similar to the line in their song “Playas, they gonna play, and haters, they gonna hate.”

According to Variety, Fitzgerald explained that “By 2001, American popular culture was heavily steeped in the concepts of players, haters, and player haters.” he adds that “It is hardly surprising that Plaintiffs, hoping to convey the notion that one should persist regardless of others’ thoughts or actions, focused on both players playing and haters hating.” However, he states that “combining two truisms about playas and haters, both well-worn notions as of 2001, is simply not enough.”Fitzgerald dismissed the case because the lyrics in question were unoriginal and therefore did not warrant Copyright Act protection.

He urged the plaintiffs not to resubmit the lawsuit – unless there were other ways to show copyright infringement.

Lawrence, wishing to seek redemption, re-opens the infamous Cobra Kai dojo, as seen in the original film. This sparks the rivarly with Daniel LaRusso who has led a very successful life.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Cobra Kai will premiere in 2018 exclusively on You Tube Red, a paid advertisement-free streaming service priced at $10 per month. The web series will consist of ten, 30 minute episodes.

In the trailer, the audience experiences a taste of the bitter rivalry between the two men. “I just don’t know why you’d ever want to bring back Cobra Kai,” says Daniel LaRusso to Johnny Lawrence. Then we see the three mantras of the Cobra Kai dojo: Strike First, Strike Hard and No Mercy.

Lawrence trains his new students that “We are not trained to be merciful here. Mercy is for the weak.” LaRusso responds by saying “you may know the moves, but none of that matters unless you have balance.” The end of the trailer shows a middle-aged LaRusso and Lawrence meeting face-to-face and ready to fight! It looks Lawrence did not learn his lesson 34 years ago.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg wrote the premise of the series. Hurwitz and Schlossberg will direct all ten episodes of the web series.

Actor Luke Wilson is being hailed as a hero after he helped rescue a woman during a deadly Los Angeles car crash that also involved golfer Bill Haas on Tuesday night.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor, known for Idiocracy, Old School, and Legally Blonde, was involved in a three vehicle collision. According to witnesses, a driver of a Ferrari lost control and hit a woman driving a BMW and Wilson’s car.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, 46 year old Sean Heirigs explained that he noticed that the woman in the BMW was “crying, she’s screaming, she doesn’t really know what happened and she was dangling into the passenger side,” because her lug was stuck in the car.

He adds that he and Wilson were able to free the woman from the smoking car and “this was all going on while the Ferrari’s wheels are still spinning and blowing rubber and smoke everywhere, and it’s loud, and you’re smelling lots of smoke and there’s glass.”

Police later identified that the dead driver of the Ferrari was Mark William Gibello of Pacific Palisades. Bill Haas, PGA golfer, was in the passenger’s seat of the Ferrari at the time of this automotive accident. Although there were no serious injuries, according to Allen Hobbs, Haas’ manager, Haas withdrew his spot from the Genesis Open.

Police are still investigating if speed was a factor in this automotive incident.

How far would a screenwriter go to expose a director, producer or studio for copyright infringement of source material? Currently, Disney is being sued by Gary L. Goldman, known for Total Recall, who claims he wrote the material which was later used in Zootopia.

Zootopia (2016) was directed  by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, known for Bolt (2008), Tangled (2010) and features the voices of Ginnifer Goodwin as Officer Judy Hopps, Jason Bateman as Nick Wilde,and Idris Elba as Chief Bogo. The film grossed over $1.2 billion against an $150 million budget.

Goldman, along with Esplanade Productions, claims that Disney took his ideas for his pitch of Zootopia and turned it into a movie without his permission.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, back in November 2017, the case was dismissed in Federal Court by Federal Judge Michael Fitzgerald, who stated that “The similarities between Goldman’s work and Zootopia are not many or ‘striking’; they are few, random, and superficial.” On February 13th Esplanade Productions filed a complaint to bring the lawsuit back into court.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Esplanade Productions stated that “Disney used Goldman’s concept for Zootopia as ‘a metaphor for life and for America,’ where ‘an animal can be whatever he wants to be.’ Thus, Esplanade is informed and believes that Disney did not create its Zootopia from scratch but, rather, used Goldman’s materials as the basis for its movie.”

Esplanade Productions along with Goldman are seeking compensatory damages and an injunction against Disney for using anymore elements of Goldman’s initial pitch of Zootopia.

What would it be like to live in a house which was used in a movie or television series? For Dr. Ernst R. von Schwartz and Pier Angela Oakenfold it has been a nightmare living in the “Murder House.” Back in 2015, the couple purchased the infamous ‘Murder House’ which was used in the first season of  FX’s anthology series American Horror Story.

Recently, the married couple spoke on CBS This Morning and they stated that a lawsuit has been brought against the previous owners and Real Estate agency of $3 million because both parties did not inform them that this mansion was featured in a television series, which has a very loyal and crazed fan base.

According to CBS News, the couple explain that on a daily basis there are hundreds of fans that try to trespass in order to get a closer look at the house. In order to give themselves some privacy, the couple even built a fence around the house, but this defense has done nothing to keep the fans from trespassing and taking pictures of the property.

According to Variety, the couple does not wish to sell the mansion, but are seeking punitive and compensatory damages. In an interview with CBS News, Schwartz argued that “We feel like they cheated us. We want to live here of course, but it’s very difficult especially since we don’t feel safe.”

Taylor Swift was brought into Federal Court on Tuesday for a copyright infringement lawsuit from Songwriters Sean Hall and Nathan Butler who wrote and composed “Playas Gon’ Play.”

Hall and Butler filed the lawsuit with their lawyers last fall because they claim that Taylor Swift’s song “Shake it Off” holds a similar resemblance to their song. They specifically claim that the line “Players gonna play, play, play, play, play, and haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate,” is very similar to the line in their song “Playas, they gonna play, and haters, they gonna hate.”

According to Variety, Fitzgerald explained that “By 2001, American popular culture was heavily steeped in the concepts of players, haters, and player haters.” he adds that “It is hardly surprising that Plaintiffs, hoping to convey the notion that one should persist regardless of others’ thoughts or actions, focused on both players playing and haters hating.” However, he states that “combining two truisms about playas and haters, both well-worn notions as of 2001, is simply not enough.”Fitzgerald dismissed the case because the lyrics in question were unoriginal and therefore did not warrant Copyright Act protection.

He urged the plaintiffs not to resubmit the lawsuit – unless there were other ways to show copyright infringement.
