Calarogu Shark Media. Hi, and
welcome to Entertainment Daily, your go to

2
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:21.199
digest for all the latest and greatest
happenings in the world of showbiz. First

3
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.480
up, we delved deep into a
story there's left fans around the world heartbroken.

4
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:28.399
We're talking about the tragic passing of
Matthew Perry, a beloved actor best

5
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:32.399
known for his role as Chandler Being
in the iconic TV series Friends. At

6
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:35.320
just fifty four years of age,
Matthew's journey came to an end, leaving

7
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:40.000
behind a legacy that is both inspiring
and cautionary. Matthew's charm and went on

8
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:43.840
screen were undeniable, but off screen, he grappled with demons that he'd never

9
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:49.240
shied away from discussing openly. In
his poignant twenty twenty two memoir Friends,

10
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.359
Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing,
Matthew laid bare his decades long battle with

11
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:57.679
substance abuse. He revealed that while
promoting the book, he had achieved eighteen

12
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:02.799
months of sobriety, but not without
immense financial and personal cost. I probably

13
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:07.239
spent nine million dollars or something trying
to get sober, he confessed. He

14
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.840
shared harrowing tales of his near death
experiences, including a terrifying incident in twenty

15
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.680
eighteen that saw him spend two weeks
in a coma and several months in recovery

16
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:19.920
following a burst colon due to opioid
use. Doctors told my family I had

17
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.400
a two percent chance to live,
Matthew told People Magazine in twenty twenty two.

18
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:27.879
Despite these challenges, he remained committed
to his journey towards sobriety and was

19
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:33.359
determined to lend a helping hand to
others battling addiction. Your sober date changes,

20
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.200
but that's all that changes. You
know everything you knew before. As

21
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.799
long as you were able to fight
your way back without dying, you learn

22
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.640
a lot, he shared. Of
course, we cannot talk about Matthew Perry

23
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:47.879
without remembering the phenomenon that was Friends. Debuting in nineteen ninety four, this

24
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:51.920
show not only defined a generation,
but also became a cultural cornerstone. It

25
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:56.400
narrated the stories of six young New
Yorkers navigating life and love, all while

26
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:59.879
leaning on each other for support.
It resonated with millions, becoming a rating

27
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.840
juggernaut, with an average of twenty
five million viewers, tuning in for each

28
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:07.239
new episode, and although the Curtains
came down on the show in two thousand

29
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.319
and four, its popularity endurors in
the streaming area, proving that good stories

30
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:15.439
and great characters are truly timeless.
Switching gears now to the world of music,

31
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:19.520
where records are made to be broken, and when it comes to shattering

32
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.240
records, there's no one quite like
Taylor's Swift. Over the weekend, the

33
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:28.479
music streaming giant Spotify had a major
announcement to make Taylor's latest album, nineteen

34
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.439
eighty nine. Taylor's Version not only
dropped, but also took the music world

35
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:36.879
by storm, breaking not one,
but two significant records. She's done it

36
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.479
again, Spotify exclaimed on Twitter,
confirming that Taylor Swift had become the most

37
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:45.159
streamed artist in a single day in
Spotify's history. And if that wasn't impressive

38
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:49.400
enough, nineteen eighty nine, Taylor's
Version also became the most streamed album in

39
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:53.759
a single day for the year twenty
twenty three. This wasn't Taylor's first rodeo,

40
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:55.639
though she had previously set the record
for the most streamed album in a

41
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.520
single day with her twenty twenty two
album midnights. Clearly overwhelmed by the love

42
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:05.120
from her fans, Taylor took to
social media to express her gratitude, exclaiming,

43
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.599
how did I get this lucky having
you guys out here doing something this

44
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:14.759
mind blowing? Like what even just
happened? And now let's take a journey

45
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:16.280
to the heart of San Francisco,
where a piece of Hollywood history has just

46
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:21.520
hit the market. Robin Williams's breath
taking seven bedroom family mansion is up for

47
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.919
grabs with a price tag that's just
as grand as the property itself, almost

48
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:30.759
twenty five million dollars. Nestled in
the exclusive Seacliff neighborhood, this Italian Renaissance

49
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.439
style villa boasts not just opulence,
but also a rich history. Built in

50
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.520
nineteen twenty six by architect ol be
Berts, the villa became a sanctuary for

51
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:44.000
Robin and his family during the filming
of Stephen Spielberg's Hook in nineteen ninety one.

52
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.639
Despite the splendor and the joy that
the property has witnessed over the years,

53
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:51.240
times have changed. Robin's ex wife, Marsha, who resides there,

54
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.280
has decided to put the villa on
the market, citing the desire to downsize

55
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.840
now that the children have grown up, it's a beautiful, happy house,

56
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.080
she reminisced while speaking to The Wall
Street Journal. We had many, many

57
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:08.240
fantastic years of fun and play and
joy. There more Entertainment Daily in just

58
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:14.280
a moment, moving from the world
of glitz and glamour to a bit of

59
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.560
old Hollywood rivalry turned friendship. Arnold
Schwarzenegger, the Terminator himself, recently opened

60
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:24.319
up about his past feud with none
other than Sylvester Stallone. While visiting The

61
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:28.839
Graham Norton Show, Arnold reminisced about
how they went from being movie rivals to

62
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.560
fantastic friends. We each had to
have the best body, we had to

63
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.720
kill more people in our films,
and we had to have the biggest guns,

64
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:40.199
Arnold recalled, describing the intensity of
their rivalry. It was a competition

65
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.120
that it spiraled out of control,
leading them to even attempt to derail each

66
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.439
other. Thankfully, this story has
a happy ending. Their joint venture and

67
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:53.240
Planet Hollywood brought them closer, turning
them into the fantastic friends they are today,

68
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.240
and that brings us to the end
of today's episode. Thank you for
