A Paramount spokesperson called Ruffalo's remarks "antisemitic" and said that "words like ‘genocide’ and ‘apartheid,’ applied to a corporate transaction, aren’t just wrong — they’re a bridge too far."
Rob Bonta, California’s attorney general, accused Paramount of leaking and misrepresenting earlier settlement discussions. He is leading a group of 12 states that have sued to block the $111 billion deal.

Colossal Biosciences, the biotech firm working to resurrect the woolly mammoth, has partnered with Paramount and toymaker Spin Master to use the PAW Patrol children's franchise as a vehicle for its conservation messaging, raising fair questions about where science education ends and corporate branding begins. The campaign, reported by the Hollywood Reporter , pairs the cartoon rescue-dog brand with Colossal's real-world de-extinction work. A call-to-action video produced for the effort features Michael Dougherty, the writer and director of Godzilla: King of the Monsters, alongside Carter Young, the voice actor behind PAW Patrol's firedog character Marshall. The video's message lands squarely on young viewers. One line from the campaign…Open

The creator of "Yellowstone" has landed a deal with NBCUniversal valued at one billion dollars, a staggering payday for a man who writes every script himself and has never won an Emmy. Taylor Sheridan, the 56-year-old Texan behind the most-watched cable drama of the last decade, is leaving Paramount for NBCUniversal in a deal that cements him as one of the most commercially powerful figures in television. He got there without a writers' room, without courting awards voters, and without playing the Hollywood access game that most showrunners treat as a second career. Page Six profiled Sheridan's rise, working methods, and blunt personality in detail, and the picture that emerges is a man who built his empire the way a rancher builds a…Open

The confirmation lands years after Depp's career appeared finished. A bruising defamation trial against his former spouse, Amber Heard, consumed tabloid oxygen and Hollywood boardrooms alike. Jurors ultimately…Open
