Callaroga, Shark Media, Hi,
and Welcome to Entertainment, plus a short

2
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:23.039
roundup of the top entertainment stories in
today's news. Jerry Seinfeld has recently expressed

3
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:27.440
his belief that movies have lost their
cultural relevance, stating that the movie business

4
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.280
is over. In an interview with
GQ magazine on Monday, the sixty nine

5
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.399
year old comic actor, who is
promoting his debut as a film director with

6
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:39.280
the Netflix film Unfrosted, reflected on
what he perceives as a diminished impact of

7
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:45.000
Hollywood's current offerings. Film doesn't occupy
the pinnacle in the social cultural hierarchy that

8
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:48.479
it did for most of our lives. The Brooklyn Natives said, when a

9
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:50.560
movie came out, it was good. We all went to see it,

10
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.600
we all discussed it, We quoted
lines and scenes we liked. Now we're

11
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:58.079
walking through a fire hose of water
just trying to see. Seinfeld, who

12
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:02.039
stars as Bob Cabana in the biograph
film about the creation of the pop tart

13
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:06.799
in the early sixties, said that
he feels confusion and disorientation have replaced the

14
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.040
movie business based on his personal interactions
with people in the entertainment industry. Everyone

15
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.079
I know and show business every day
is going, what's going on? How

16
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:17.760
do you do this? What are
we supposed to do now? The Ammy

17
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:22.680
winning star remarked the film features a
star studded cards including Amy Schumer, Christian

18
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.680
Slater, Ugh Grant, Sarah Cooper, Peters English, Jim Gaffigan, Fred

19
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.439
Armison, Bill BurrH and Melissa McCarthy, among others. Seinfeld also shared his

20
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.000
thoughts on the current state of comedy
where he got his start. Stand Up

21
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.359
is like you're a cabinet maker and
everybody needs a guy who's good with wood.

22
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.200
He said. There's trees everywhere,
but to make a nice table,

23
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.920
it's not so easy. So the
metaphor is that if you have a good

24
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:47.159
craft and craftsmanship, you're kind of
impervious to the whims of the industry.

25
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.560
He added. The modern audiences and
now flocking to stand up because it's something

26
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.599
you can't fake, while other aspects
of entertainment have a layer of production over

27
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.359
them. It's like platform diving,
Seinfeld explained. You could say you're a

28
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.400
platform diver, but in two seconds, we can see if you are or

29
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:05.000
earn't. That's what people like about
stand up. They can trust it everything

30
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.719
else is fake. Seinfeld's comments sparked
a range of responses on social media,

31
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:13.520
with some agreeing and others disagreeing with
this perspective. One user noted, oh,

32
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.439
yes, one of cinema's greatest oeurs
Jerry Seinfeld from the B Movie,

33
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.000
while another question has choice to make
a movie about pop tarts if you believe

34
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.560
the movie business is over. The
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced

35
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:28.599

decades of snubs. She had been eligible

42
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:58.199

Fame, she told Clarkson, you
know what, I wouldn't mean it now

44
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:02.199
if they gave me a million dollars. I'm not kidding you. I'm never

45
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:06.800

Over the weekend, Suri was spotted

without her father. She later joined her

71
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:53.000
mother, who was photographed running errands
across town, to celebrate together. For

72
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.680
many years, Suri has lived in
the shadow of frenzied speculation over her infamously

73
00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.639
fractured relationship with a scientologist father.
The strangement between Surrey and her dad began

at a time of Cruise and Holmes

75
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:09.600
rock solid wall on that Surii has
no plans to have a breakdown. Dailymail

she is eighteen and a legal adult,

104
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:11.240
can hear every living thing breathing together
or entertainment in just a moment. Reclusive

105
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:15.199
sitcom star Delta Burke has recently opened
up about some of her mental and physical

106
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.680
struggles as an actress in the eighties, including one with Crystal Meth. The

107
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:23.240
sixty seven year old star, who
starred as a former beauty queen on the

108
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:26.839
set of CBS's Designing Women, said
on Friday that she was treated more like

109
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:30.920
a slave during her time on the
show. Burke famously fell out of favor

110
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.839
with the show's bosses after complaining in
a nineteen ninety interview with Barbara Walters that

111
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:38.399
the set had become unpleasant. She
was off the show the following year.

112
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:44.199
Speaking to Chelsea Davantes on her podcast
Glamorous Trash more than thirty years later,

113
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.240
Burke said, of her mindset at
the time, I wanted to leave.

114
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:49.879
She went on to describe how her
dream TV role went downhill over time,

115
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:54.399
saying, and I wasn't allowed to
I don't know what would have happened to

116
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:57.560
me if I had been allowed to
leave. It got ugly and very sad.

117
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.000
Burke recalled her initial happiness of the
show, saying we do designing women,

118
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.240
and I'm so happy to be there. I love everything. However,

119
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.120
she then delved into the difficulties she
faced, including her drug addiction. The

120
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.879
actress, who still lives in la
with her longtime husband Gerald McCraney, claimed

121
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.720
that one of the main contributors to
her contentious ninety one exit was scrutiny over

122
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.759
her weight, which she said also
led her to getting addicted to drugs.

123
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.279
She admitted she was emotionally too fragile
to deal with such scrutiny at the time,

124
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:26.439
recalling instances when people questioned whether she
was pregnant and when a fan jerked

125
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:31.360
her coat open. And said,
let's see how fat are you. Burke

126
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:33.639
revealed that she turned to crystal meth
as a weight loss method, saying they

127
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.200
were like a medicine to me.
She referred to prescription pills build back then

128
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.120
as black Beauties, which eventually led
to crystal meth. Nobody knew about it

129
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:43.440
at the time, she said,
explaining that she was told to snort the

130
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:48.600
drug but when instead put it in
cranberry juice. The actress doubled down on

131
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:50.639
her negative experience on the show,
claiming she had been bullied over her weight

132
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.840
and subjected to psychological abuse. Producers
and co stars hit back at her workplace

133
00:08:54.840 --> 00:09:00.200
claims in ninety two, suggesting her
husband was responsible for her struggles. On

134
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.799
Friday, after only being seen that
occasional red carpet events, Burke sternly warned,

135
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.960
Hollywood will mess your head up.
And I always thought I want to

136
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:09.799
be a famous actress. I thought
that meant you would be a famous and

137
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.960
well respected actress. But that's not
what it meant. And the moment I

138
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.000
became famous, it was like,
oh no, no, no, this

139
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.559
is not what I had in mind
at all. I don't think I want

140
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.480
to be this anymore. But then
it's too late, and then you have

141
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.240
it. Please follo us on Spotify, Apple or your Apple choice. If

142
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.639
you like the show, give it
five stars. We really appreciate it.

143
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:31.240
I mind, Francis is my thanks
to you, John McDermott. This is entertainment plus
