Hi and Welcome through Entertainment Daily,
a short roundup of the top entertainment stories

2
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:18.000
in today's news. On Tuesday,
the BBC announced that the programming starring Russell

3
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:23.519
Brand has been taken off their streaming
services IE Player and BBC Sounds as they

4
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:29.800
determined it no longer satisfies the public's
expectations. Accusations of rape, sexual assault

5
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.560
and emotional abuse have been brought against
the comedian, which he has denied.

6
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:37.920
This past weekend and investigation by The
Times, Sunday Times and Channel four Dispatches

7
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:43.560
unveiled sexual misconduct allegations from four women
against Brand, occurring between two thousand and

8
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:48.320
six and twenty thirteen. According to
a BBC News report, a representative for

9
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:53.240
the UK Public Broadcasters stated that they
do not delete material from the public record

10
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:58.560
without good reason. After evaluating the
existing content with Russell Brand on Eyeplayer and

11
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:02.600
Sounds the BBC, he determined that
some of it did not meet current public

12
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:07.159
expectations and made the decision to delete
it. The BBC has not specified which

13
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.280
programs have been taken down from the
iPlayer and Sounds platforms. However, the

14
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.239
report is indicated that an episode of
Qi, a comedy quiz show and a

15
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:22.239
podcast with Joe Wicks with Brand as
a guest had been removed. The Mirror

16
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.400
reports Russell Brand once bragged about putting
one on Megan Michael before she met Prince

17
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.760
Harry. A clip from the interview
has resurfaced and which Brand has asked if

18
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.159
it was true he once snogged Megan. Brand replied she was in a film

19
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.439
that I was in, Getting to
the Greek. It's a good film.

20
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.920
Megan Michael didn't know at the time
because she wasn't married to a royal person.

21
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.040
I don't remember the film much.
I think I planted one on her

22
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.920
in the scene, but that was
scripted in the scene. I only know

23
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.159
this because I think I saw a
clip of it somewhere. They should bring

24
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.400
that up at the wedding if anyone
has any reason. Yeah, Russell Brand

25
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:59.719
snogged her in the film. Rap
superstar Travis Scott was questioned for several hours

26
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:04.799
in a civil deposition he gave in
connection with hundreds of lawsuits that were filed

27
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.599
against him and others over the deaths
and injuries at the twenty twenty one Astro

28
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:15.000
World Festival. Per ABC News,
Scott was questioned in Houston during a deposition

29
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.759
that lasted around eight hours. Two
people with knowledge about the litigation, set

30
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.560
lawyers and others connected to the civil
lawsuits are under a gag order, preventing

31
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:28.680
them from saying little beyond what happens
during court hearings. Travis Scott's deposition is

32
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.479
a typical legal procedure. What is
not typical is how the media continues to

33
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:38.560
focus on him despite being cleared of
any wrongdoing by extensive government investigations, including

34
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:43.879
by the Houston Police Department. Ted
Anastasio, a spokesman for Scott, said

35
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.759
in a statement, Travis is fully
co operating with the legal process while still

36
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:52.759
remaining committed to his tour in support
of his record breaking album Utopia and his

37
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:58.400
charitable efforts to support at risk communities. According to a summary in the investigative

38
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.599
report of the police interview cond to
two days after the concert, Scott told

39
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:07.039
investigators that although he did see one
person near the stage getting medical attention,

40
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.400
overall the crowd seemed to be enjoying
the show and he did not see any

41
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:15.240
signs of serious problems. Scott's deposition
on Monday took place on the same day

42
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.240
that hip hop artist Drake, who
performed several songs with Scott during the Astro

43
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:25.800
World concert was performing in Houston.
Drake was also sued in connection with the

44
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:32.240
Deadly concert. Arianna Grande and Dalton
Gomez are going their separate ways. Grande

45
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:37.439
filed a petition for divorce on Monday
in Los Angeles. The singer cited a

46
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:42.360
reconcilable differences as grounds for dissolution.
A source with the knowledge of the matter

47
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.240
told CNN Arianna and Gomez wed in
twenty twenty one. It was tiny and

48
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.159
intimate, less than twenty people.
The room was so happy and full of

49
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.199
love, Grande's representative told people of
the wedding ceremony. At the time,

50
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:59.599
the couple and both families couldn't be
happier. Grande later shared photos of their

51
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.240
nupt Jules, which took place at
their home in Montecito, to her Instagram

52
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:08.919

one. The post has since been removed,

53
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:13.360
with the photos previously showcased Grande wearing
a Bureau Wang wedding gown and kissing

54
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.959
Gomez, who wore a tom Ford
suit. Their twenty twenty one nuptials came

55
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:24.040
two years after Grande's engagement to comedian
Pete Davidson. Speculation that the pair were

56
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:28.199
no longer together began in July when
she was spotted without her wedding band while

57
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:32.279
attending Wimbledon. Selena had been busy
filming the cinematic adaptation of Wicked in London

58
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:38.879
alongside Bailey, Cynthia Arrivo, Jeff
Goldbloom, Michel Yeo and Bowen Yang prior
