00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.800
Calorogus, Shark Media, Hi,
and Welcome to Entertainment Daily, a short

2
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:24.079
roundup of the top entertainment stories in
today's news. Sag After and Hollywood Studios

3
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:28.679
reached a deal to end their more
than four month long strike after nearly seventeen

4
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:32.359
weeks on the picket lines. The
contract would boost minimum pay for members,

5
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:37.920
increase residual payments for shows streamed online, bolstered contributions to the union's health and

6
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:42.479
pension plans, and establish new rules
for the use of artificial intelligence. The

7
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:46.799
agreement next goes to the sag After
a board. Today, we have arrived

8
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:50.759
at a contract that will enable sag
after members from every category to build sustainable

9
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:55.119
careers. Many thousands of performers now
and into the future will benefit from this

10
00:00:55.240 --> 00:01:00.200
work, sag After said in a
statement. Thanks to his bright smile,

11
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.200
twinkling eyes, and charming personality,
Patrick Dempsey has been one of Hollywood's top

12
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.799
heart throbs for more than three decades, and being the celebrity crush of millions

13
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:12.159
has led to a fierce fascination into
his love life. Patrick, who was

14
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:17.680
recently announced as People's twenty twenty three
Sexiest Man Alive, has been married to

15
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:22.959
a hairstylist named Julian for twenty four
years, defying the A list curse that

16
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.040
has seen so many celebrity couples crumble
under the pressures of immense fame and the

17
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.760
temptations that can come with vast stardom. And while the Grey's Anatomy Starr and

18
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.120
his wife, who share three kids
together, have stood the test of time,

19
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.000
they almost fell victim to the Hollywood
hex in twenty fifteen when they announced

20
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.519
they were divorcing. At the time, Patrick was spending almost all of his

21
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:48.040
waking hours focused on his booming career, which unfortunately left very little time for

22
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:52.280
his personal life. With his marriage
on the brink of collapsing, Patrick decided

23
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:56.760
to take a step back from the
spotlight and leave the wildly popular medical drama,

24
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.879
and while the move left millions disappointed
that their favorite Carrea would no longer

25
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.920
be in the show, it also
resulted in many admiring Patrick's dedication to his

26
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.800
family and ultimately saved his relationship with
Julian. Since then, Patrick has been

27
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:14.960
very open about how the brief separation
taught him to prioritize spending quality time with

28
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:20.599
his wife and three kids over his
work. Tracy Chapman continues to make history

29
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:24.479
with her nineteen eighty eight hit fast
Car, after winning Song of the Year

30
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:29.879
at Wednesday's Country Music Awards. Chapman
was not present during the telecast, which

31
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:34.159
took place at Nashville's Bridge Stone Arena, but country Starr in the Categories presenter

32
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:38.520
Sarah Evans read a message on Chapman's
behalf after announcing her as the winner.

33
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.439
I'm sorry I couldn't join you all
tonight. It's truly an honor for my

34
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:45.840
song to be newly recognized after thirty
five years of its debut. While thank

35
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:49.520
you to the CMA's and a special
thanks to Luke Combs and to all of

36
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:53.879
the fans of fast Car, Evans
said on behalf of Chapman. The CIMA

37
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:58.280
win is a remarkable achievement given fast
Car debuted thirty five years ago and saw

38
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:02.240
a resurgence in popularity in July after
country star Luke Combs released a cover of

39
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:07.199
the hit single. Combs's cover went
on to reach number one on the Country

40
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.719
Airplay chart, making Chapman the first
black woman to top the chart since it

41
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:15.639
came into existence in nineteen ninety.
Chapman, who is the sole writer.

42
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:20.520
A Fast Car also reached the number
one on Billboard's Country Songwriter's Chart thanks to

43
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.000
the cover. I never expected to
find myself on the country charts, but

44
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:27.479
I'm honored to be there, Chapmin
told Billboard in a statement at the time,

45
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.960
adding I'm happy for Luke and his
success and grateful that new fans have

46
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:36.719
found and embraced Fast Car. Bruce
Willis's daughter, ta Lula Willis is sharing

47
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:42.280
an update regarding her dad's health after
the Diehard actor was diagnosed with fronto temporal

48
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:46.759
dementia earlier this year. He has
a really aggressive cognitive disease, a form

49
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.680
of dementia that's very rare toa Lula
said on Wednesday's episode of The Drew Barrymore

50
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.560
Show, adding he is the same, which I think in this regard I've

51
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:58.240
learned is the best thing you can
ask for. Tallula is the youngest daughter

52
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.840
of Bruce and Demi Moore, who
are married from eighty seven to two thousand.

53
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:04.840
They are also parents of Tallula's older
sister's Scout and Rumour. In two

54
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:09.439
thousand and nine, Bruce married Emma
Hemming and they share two young daughters.

55
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:14.879
Bruce's family, including Hemming Moore and
his five daughters have regularly given updates on

56
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:18.639
his condition after they release their statement
in February that he was diagnosed with FTD.

57
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:23.920
Being open about Bruce's progress is important
to Lula said on Wednesday, adding

58
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:28.279
that her family's goal is to spread
awareness about FTD. If we can take

59
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.120
something that we're struggling with as a
family individually to help other people to turn

60
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.680
it around, to make something beautiful
about it, that's really special for us,

61
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.639
she said. She also said that
a huge part of how she spends

62
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.839
time with her father now is by
playing music and just sitting in this energy

63
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:46.040
of love. I see love when
I'm with him, she later added,

64
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.519
and it's my dad and he loves
me, which is really special. Scarlett

65
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:54.959
Johansson has teamed with Feeding America to
address food insecurity, an issue she has

66
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.759
personal experience with. My family relied
on public assistance to help provide meals for

67
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.120
us, Johanson states, and a
new public service announcement for the organization.

68
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.319
These meals fueled my involvement in theater
and the arts as a child, which

69
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:11.079
fostered my love for acting. Food
isn't just fuel to live, it's fuel

70
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.079
to grow, she adds. According
to its site, Feeding America is the

71
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.639
largest hunger relief organization in the United
States. We are a nationwide network of

72
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:21.839
food banks, food pantries, and
community based organizations in the United States.

73
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.839
The site states we work to end
hunger by providing food and support to millions

74
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.360
of people. In a blog post
for the organization, Johansen wrote that she

75
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.959
and her brother were normal kids who
went to public school and enjoyed the hot,

76
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.920
free school lunches provided. Back then, I didn't even think twice about

77
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:41.000
the food we ate. I was
just happy at school learning being a kid.

78
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:43.720
Now, as an adult, I
have a tremendous amount of gratitude for

79
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.399
those meals, she wrote. My
family relied on public assistance, and the

80
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.759
meals I ate at school were part
of the free school Lunch program, which

81
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:56.000
provides free breakfast and lunch to students
from low income families. More entertainment just

82
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:01.959
a moment. Zac Efron has shared
his response to finding out that Matthew Perry

83
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:06.079
wanted the high school musical actor to
play him in a biopic. I was

84
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:11.040
hugely honored, Efron told Extra TV
during the premiere for his upcoming movie The

85
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:14.720
Iron Claw. In Dallas on Wednesday. It would be extraordinary to do,

86
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.519
and of course I'm just really still
devastated by the fact he's gone. We'll

87
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.079
see what happens. He added.
Last week, Athena Crosby, who confirmed

88
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:25.600
that she was the woman seen having
lunch with Perry at the Hotel bell Air

89
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:28.800
the day before he died at the
age of fifty four, said the Friends

90
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.279
actor was doing great and was going
to ask Efron soon to play him in

91
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:34.160
a biopic. He said that he
wanted to make a movie about his life

92
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:38.399
and he had worked with zac Efron
in the past on a movie and said

93
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:42.360
he wanted Zach to play him as
a younger version in an up and coming

94
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.319
biopic about himself, and that he
was going to ask him soon to do

95
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:48.399
that. She told Entertainment tonight he
was just so looking forward to sharing more

96
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:53.560
about his story and recovery from addiction
and really championing that cause to help more

97
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.120
people, Crosby added. Efron and
Perry co start in the two thousand and

98
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.279
nine comedy film seventeen Again, in
which Effron plays the younger version of Perry's

99
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:04.360
character Mike O'Donnell, thirty seven year
old dad who has transformed back into his

100
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:08.879
seventeen year old self and a chance
to rewrite his life. Perry revealed last

101
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.680
year that Ephron had, however,
once turned down an opportunity to play a

102
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:16.240
younger version of him. Speaking on
Sirius xm'st radio show pop Culture Spotlight with

103
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.839
Jessica Shaw, he said he had
just finished the script for a screenplay that

104
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.560
he wanted to direct. I have
a small part in it. I wrote

105
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.240
it for myself and then realized I'm
twenty years too old to play this,

106
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.079
Perry said. He added that the
dream younger version of himself was zach Efron,

107
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.839
but he said no, So we've
got to find somebody who says yes.
