Hey, did you hear about Wayne Gretzky turning 63? The hockey legend is still making headlines!
So, Taylor Swift is in the spotlight again, but this time it’s not about her music. There’s this whole thing about AI-generated deepfakes featuring her, and lawmakers like Rep. Joseph Morelle are pushing for legislation against distributing these explicit fakes. Fans are getting pretty vocal about it too, urging for quicker solutions. Even Rep. Yvette Clarke is emphasizing that it’s a bipartisan concern and not just about celebrities. Various states are looking into laws to tackle deepfakes in political disinformation as well.
On a completely different note, Swift’s stalker is going through a psychological examination to figure out if he’s fit to stand trial. That’s pretty intense.
And speaking of drama, Kevin Costner is suspicious of his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner having a thing with their neighbor Josh Connor. Sources spilled the tea on Kevin’s worries, while Christine is defending her friendship with Josh, saying he supported her during the divorce. Talk about neighborly complications!
Now, imagine George Carlin’s estate suing this company called Dudesy for creating an AI-generated fake comedy special using Carlin’s likeness and copyrighted material. The special’s even titled “George Carlin: I’m Glad I’m Dead.” It’s a wild case, raising concerns about AI-generated content and intellectual property rights.
Oh, and did you catch the news about Pauly Shore? He’s facing a lawsuit because his security allegedly attacked a guy at The Comedy Store in Hollywood. The victim and his daughter, who were guests that night, are looking for compensation, claiming Shore was in on the whole assault plan. Crazy stuff!
Switching gears, Jason Momoa is making waves filming a T-Mobile Super Bowl commercial with Zach Braff and Donald Faison. In the ad, Momoa’s showing off his singing and dancing skills, ripping open his shirt – sounds like a must-watch!
And finally, Netflix pulled the plug on Halle Berry’s sci-fi film “The Mothership” due to post-production and reshoot challenges. It was supposed to drop in 2022, but now it’s just a tax write-off. Kind of like how Warner Bros. Discovery scrapped that $90 million Batgirl project in 2022. Both productions using tax write-offs to deal with their issues – who would’ve thought?
