John Oliver Takes a Jab at New Bosses Following Announcement of WarnerMedia-Discovery Merger – Hollywood Reporter

John Oliver has never shied away from biting the hand that feeds him. Over the years, the Last Week Tonight host has called taken several shots at HBO parent company AT&T, which he condescendingly refers to as “Business Daddy” and has frequently mocked what he calls its “terrible” service. He also took jabs at AT&T during a segment about robocalls and went on a rant over the company’s support of “white nationalist” Steve King. Last week, AT&T and Discovery Inc. unveiled their plan to merge their media and entertainment assets in a deal that will bring together cable networks including CNN, TBS, TNT, HGTV, Food Network and Discovery Channel; the Warner Bros. film studio; and streaming services HBO Max and Discovery+.

Highly Pathogenic Bird Flu Outbreak Already Reported in 46 Countries, Scientists Warn – ScienceAlert

While the world was distracted with the rampant spread of  a novel coronavirus, 2020 also witnessed an explosion in another deadly pathogen that could pose a threat to global public health.   H5N8, a subtype of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV), was identified decades ago, but during 2020 a series of emerging and ongoing H5N8 outbreaks in avian populations across dozens of countries have led to the death or slaughter of millions of birds worldwide.

Drakes adorable son Adonis steals the 2021 Billboard Music Awards – New York Post

It was all about family for Drake as he was named Artist of the Decade at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night. In fact, the rapper-singer behind a remarkable string of hits — from “Best I Ever Had,” “Find Your Love” and “Hotline Bling” to “God’s Plan,” “In My Feelings” and “Toosie Slide” — had a group of family and friends onstage to present him with the honor outside the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. And then Drake brought out his adorable 3-year-old son, Adonis — rocking blonde cornrows — and handed him the award: “You wanna hold it?” “The truth is, I’m really bad at taking compliments,” he said in his acceptance remarks. “I’m really self-conscious about my music, and even if I do a good job I always wonder how I coulda done it better. I rar...

Mare of Easttown Recap: Episode 6 on HBO — Who Killed Erin? – TVLine

RELATED STORIES It sure looks like we found out who killed Erin McMenamin in Mare of Easttown‘s penultimate episode… but the killer might be looking to add to the body count. Sunday’s episode opens with Mare waking up in the hospital after killing Potts and saving Katie Bailey and Missy. She’s a hero now, with the press mobbing her as she returns home, but Colin is still dead (R.I.P.), and Potts couldn’t have killed Erin because he was out of town that night. Plus, Deacon Mark insists he didn’t kill her in a teary interview with the cops, but they place him under arrest anyway after fishing Erin’s bike out of the river, and a forensics expert says the gun that killed Erin was an old cop gun, a kind that hasn’t been produced in decades. After Brianna tells the cops about ...

Dua Lipa Condemns Organization’s NYT Ad That Accused Her of Antisemitism – Pitchfork

I utterly reject the false and appalling allegations that were published today in The New York Times advertisement taken out by the World Values Network. This is the price you pay for defending Palestinian human rights against an Israeli government whose actions in Palestine both Human Rights Watch and the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem accuse of persecution and discrimination. I take this stance because I believe that everyone — Jews, Muslims and Christians — have the right to live in peace as equal citizens of a state they choose. The World Values Network are shamelessly using my name to advance their ugly campaign with falsehoods and blatant misrepresentation of who I am and what I stand for. I stand in solidarity with all oppressed people and reject all forms of racism.

Pink and daughter Willow soar in daredevil Billboard Music Awards stunt – New York Post

Pink lived up to her newly-minted Icon Award at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards with a touching aerial performance to her song “Cover Me in Sunshine” — in tandem with her 9-year-old daughter, Willow Sage Hart. The badass award recipient picked the song — a single she recorded with Willow — to kick off an eight-minute medley worthy of the Philadelphia native. The high-flying stunt was par for the course for the 41-year-old Pink, who is known for mind-blowing acrobatics during concerts. After the segment, she proclaimed that her offspring “nailed it.” Like mother, like daughter. She was introduced by her longtime friend, musician Jon Bon Jovi, who saluted her artistry and legacy and said she “truly changed the game” as a rock and roll “trailblazer.” ...
