00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:15.279
Callaroga Shark Media, Hello, and
welcome through Entertainment Daily, a short roundup

2
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:23.160
of the top entertainment stories in today's
news. An autopsy report on friend star

3
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:28.559
Matthew Perry has revealed the cause of
his premature death was probably inevitable after years

4
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:32.679
of his struggle with addictions. According
to the official document, the actor diet

5
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:37.280
of an acute overdose of the party
drug ketamine, despite claiming to have been

6
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.640
cleaned for nineteen months. The fifty
four year old, who drowned in the

7
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:45.439
hot tub at his four million dollar
Hollywood mansion on October twenty eighth, also

8
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:49.640
had traces of an opioid like drug
in his system, according to a graphic

9
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:55.200
twenty nine page autopsy report released by
the La County Medical Examiner's Office on Friday.

10
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.840
While friends, including co star Jennifer
Aniston, had insisted that Perry,

11
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:03.200
who went to rehab fifty seeing times
and spent nine million dollars fighting his demons,

12
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.640
was doing great in the period before
his death, the autopsy paints a

13
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:10.879
grim picture. Perry died of the
acute effects of ketamine, according to the

14
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.840
coroner, as well as the effects
of buprenorphine and opioid type drug used to

15
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:21.439
treat opioid addiction. Doctor Raffi Jubourian, the senior Deputy medical Examiner, wrote,

16
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:23.879
Matthew Perry's cause of death is determined
to be from the acute effects of

17
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:30.280
ketamine. Contributory factors include drowning,
coronary artery disease, and U prenofine effects.

18
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.680
The matter of death is accident.
No science of foul play are suspected.

19
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.519
At the high levels of ketamine found
in his post mortem blood specimens,

20
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:46.239
the main lethal effects would be from
both cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression. Drowning

21
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.959
contributes due to the likelihood of submission
into the pool as elapsed into unconsciousness.

22
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.120
My Embiarlic was fired as the host
of Jeopardy and will be replaced by her

23
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.599
co host Ken Jennings. The forty
year old Blossom Acress revealed she was recently

24
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.519
informed by Sony that she will no
longer be hosting the syndicated version of the

25
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:07.760
game show. She took to Instagram
on Friday to confirm rumors since she had

26
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.199
not been seen on the show since
her last appearance in May. Sony released

27
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:15.719
a statement to the official Jeopardy account
shortly after and announced that Jennings will become

28
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:20.919
the sole host due to continuity concerns. It was reported back in September that

29
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.520
she was unlikely to return to host
for the rest of the year. As

30
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.719
the holiday break begins in Hollywood,
I have some Jeopardy news, by Alec

31
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:30.479
Began in her lengthy caption, Sony
has informed me that I will no longer

32
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:35.919
be hosting the syndicated version of Jeopardy. She continued, I am incredibly honored

33
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.280
to have been nominated for a Primetime
Emmy for hosting this year, and I

34
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:42.599
am deeply grateful for the opportunity to
have been part of the Jeopardy family.

35
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.560
She wrote. For all of you
who have supported me through this incredible journey

36
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:50.439
into the fans, contestants, writers, staff, and crew of America's favorite

37
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.639
quiz show. Thank you, she
said. Shortly after, Jeopardy released their

38
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:59.520
own announcement on Instagram confirming b Alex's
co host Ken Jennings will be the sole

39
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:05.120
host of the upcoming season of the
syndicated game show. Rocker Tommy Lee has

40
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.120
been accused of sexually assaulting a woman
in a helicopter as he flew from San

41
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:13.280
Diego to Los Angeles in two thousand
and three. The woman said in court

42
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.120
documents obtained by a TMZ that she
was a friend of the pilot and he

43
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:20.479
invited her to go on a trip, but when she got to the tarmac,

44
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.560
she found Tommy Lee, the Motley
Crue drummer, waiting to board the

45
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:27.520
helicopter with them. It's not clear
whether she knew Lee before the February two

46
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.520
thousand and three encountered. She claims
that Lee, now sixty one, and

47
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:36.080
the pilot drank, snorted cocaine,
and smoked marijuana during the flight. She

48
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:38.560
said that Lee, who had divorced
his third wife, Pamela Anderson in nineteen

49
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:43.080
ninety eight, then grabbed her and
forced her to sit on his lap.

50
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.240
The woman said Lee groped and kissed
her, and when she tried to pull

51
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.879
away, he grabbed her and yanked
her back to him. She said he

52
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.840
then penetrated her with his fingers and
groped her breasts. She said Lee took

53
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:55.520
down his pants and attempted to force
her head into his groin, but she

54
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.599
wrestled free. On landing in Los
Angeles, Lee hugged her then, and

55
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.960
the woman and pilot flew back to
San Diego in silence. She said she

56
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:08.360
never went to the police because she
did not think she would be believed.

57
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:14.840
Lee has not responded to requests for
comment. Jason Momoa kept things balanced when

58
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:17.160
it came to preparing for his latest
movie role. The actor said he didn't

59
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:21.120
need to go to many extremes to
get into fighting shape for Aquaman and the

60
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:26.319
Lost Kingdom, which hits theaters on
December twenty second. I don't do calories,

61
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:30.199
I just eat, Momoa told E
News. His food plan was completely

62
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.319
flexible as well. Not much was
off limits, he said. When asked

63
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.959
what he ate in the lead up
to and during filming, he replied everything,

64
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:41.920
because you're burning so many calories.
I just eat and consume and constantly

65
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.639
moving and work long days. I
just shovel it in and then work hard,

66
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:47.199
he added. Work hard, eat
hard, play hard. Just do

67
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:53.480
it. While portraying the half Atlantean, half human superhero means showing off his

68
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:57.800
muscular physique, Momoa said his diet
and fitness regimen is more about keeping his

69
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:02.000
body healthy to film physic cleed demanding
scenes. I don't really do it for

70
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.879
the vanity, he told the outlet. It's more so I don't get hurt.

71
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.560
You've got to be prepared. You're
putting on a suit that's going to

72
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.839
weigh forty pounds. You've got to
be able to move. That kind of

73
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.600
action just puts a lot of weight
on your knees. So you just do

74
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:21.319
it so you don't get hurt.
More Entertainment Just a moment. Wayne Brady

75
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.000
has an inspiring message for others.
In a new interview, the Let's Make

76
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:29.319
a Deal host said that it's never
too late to take hold of your story

77
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.120
as he discussed the positive responses he
has had to him coming out as pan

78
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:38.439
sexual in August. I've gotten so
many DMS, emails and texts from people

79
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:41.920
who, at midpoint in their life, want to express themselves, whether it's

80
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:46.279
changing their work or coming out,
Brady said in a conversation with Yahoo Entertainment

81
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.920
this week. It's never too late
to take hold of your story for teenagers,

82
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:53.519
young adults, theater students, and
young black men who questioned the idea

83
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:58.360
of masculinity and what it all means. Brady revealed exclusively to people in August

84
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:01.319
that he is pan sexual, meaning
that he is attracted to individuals regardless of

85
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:05.360
sex or gender. The host said
in his latest interview that the best part

86
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:09.360
of coming out has been inspiring others
to take their own story in their own

87
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:13.240
hands, and added that he wishes
to continue encouraging this in others in his

88
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.040
work and activism past a certain point. Life becomes too short to live in

89
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.839
the dark all the time. Brady
told Yahoo Entertainment. To have people say,

90
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:24.439
hey, you inspire me, not
just on stage, but you inspire

91
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:30.279
me to live my truth has been
the best part. Saturday Night Live's final

92
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.360
episode of twenty twenty three featured several
alarms of the sketch comedy show. Not

93
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.480
only did Kate McKinnon, who departed
the show last year, returned to host,

94
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:41.839
but fellow alums Kristen Wigg and Maya
Rudolph also made a special appearance during

95
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:46.199
her monologue. As McKinnon took to
the studio each stage, she started by

96
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.720
saying it was weird to come back
to her old job and to the monologue,

97
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:51.639
I don't really like to talk in
my own voice as kind of way

98
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:57.319
I got into this racket in the
first place. Billie Eilish returned to SNEL

99
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.480
for the third time on Saturday,
after previously serving as the music guest in

100
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.279
twenty nineteen, as well as hosting
and being the musical guest in twenty twenty

101
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:06.680
one. Before she performed what Was
I Made For, a song from the

102
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:12.480
Barbie soundtrack, Gerwig made a surprise
appearance on the show alongside McKinnon to introduce

103
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.240
the singer Jacob A. Lordie will
be hosting the sketch comedy show's first episode

104
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:20.120
in twenty twenty four with musical guest
Rene Rap And there you have it.

Please follo us on Spotify, Apple
or your app of choice and if you

106
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.000
like the show, hit those five

107
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.759
out. I'm Mark Francis by thanks
