AMERICANALMANAC (Sadie Smith) - Glen Powell shuns political talk over toxic discourse, blames Paramount marketing cuts for ‘Running Man’ flop

Glen Powell is sitting out politics because he hates the discourse, and he blames Paramount’s marketing layoffs for “The Running Man” box-office flop.

Glen Powell is sitting out politics because he hates the discourse, and he blames Paramount’s marketing layoffs for “The Running Man” box-office flop. The “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Chad Powers” star used an Esquire magazine cover interview to draw a hard line on campaign chatter and culture-war sparring. He said the talk divides people, and he wants no part of it on the press circuit. Variety reported his remarks alongside a blunt box-office autopsy: Powell tied the weak run of Edgar Wright’s fall 2025 tentpole “The Running Man” to Paramount Pictures dumping its marketing team right before the film opened amid a merger. Hollywood has spent years treating red-carpet interviews like town halls. Powell is joining a short…Open

Which other high-profile celebrities have recently expressed similar sentiments regarding the fatigue of celebrity political involvement?
The article notes that Glen Powell is joining a short list of big names who have walked back from the celebrity-as-pundit model. This includes Dwayne Johnson, who used an Esquire sit-down to say he would no longer speak publicly about politics and expressed regret over a 2020 endorsement of Joe Biden that split his fan base. It also includes Jennifer Lawrence, who questioned the point of celebrity political endorsements in a New York Times interview, stating she does not want to "add fuel to a fire that’s ripping the country apart" or turn people off to art.
Q&A ID fec8ee72-84c5-4a4e-b173-acbfcf2d07d5
How did Glen Powell describe the production of the film "How to Make a Killing" and its financial results?
Powell looked back at A24’s "How to Make a Killing," which took in $21 million worldwide, as an example of a project that did not have enough "room to breathe." He noted that there was not enough time to do the project properly and used it as an example of why "there’s no rush," highlighting a pattern of hurried production and broken launch machinery leading to lower grosses.
Q&A ID 02a6882e-74a5-4e29-ad4c-10bd16312a46
What specific reasons did Glen Powell give for the box-office failure of the film "The Running Man"?
Glen Powell attributed the weak run of Edgar Wright’s "The Running Man" to corporate decisions at Paramount Pictures rather than audience taste. He stated that Paramount dumped its marketing team and conducted mass layoffs in late October 2025, just one month before the film opened. He argued that the studio "emptied the shop" that was supposed to sell the movie in the middle of a merger, which he claimed led to the film finishing under $70 million worldwide against a production budget in the $110 million range.
Q&A ID 7955acdb-7bf5-4a09-b944-0784537e8671
Why did actor Glen Powell decide to stop engaging in political discourse during press appearances?
Glen Powell stated in an Esquire magazine cover interview that he is shunning political talk because he finds the current discourse to be "the worst version of a conversation." He noted that politics divides people and the current environment is not as healthy as it once was. While he applauds those who fight for their beliefs, he stated that his calling is elsewhere and he does not want to participate in "culture-war sparring" or "campaign chatter" that treats red-carpet interviews like town halls.

Sylvester Stallone and Richard Gere nearly settled a dinner-party dispute over Princess Diana with their fists in the 1990s, years after Gere was pushed off their shared film set. Page Six reports that Elton John’s 2019 memoir “Me” describes a star-studded dinner he hosted in the ’90s, around the time he was writing songs for the 1994 film “The Lion King.” Guests included Stallone, Gere, and Princess Diana. Diana, by then separated from Charles, “straight away” seemed “taken with” Gere, John wrote. The pair ended up “sitting in front of the fireplace together, locked in rapt conversation.” Stallone did not take it well. Furnish found them ready to fight in the hallway John’s husband, David Furnish, stumbled on…Open

The dinner party was hosted by Elton John and attended by a star-studded group of guests, which specifically included Sylvester Stallone, Richard Gere, and Princess Diana.

During the dinner party in the 1990s, Princess Diana—who was separated from Prince Charles at the time—was described by Elton John as being "straight away" taken with Richard Gere. Despite the brewing physical confrontation between Stallone and Gere in the hallway, Diana was described as "completely unruffled," with John suggesting she may not have realized the severity of the situation or that such incidents were common.

How did the conflict between Sylvester Stallone and Richard Gere begin prior to their 1990s dinner party altercation?
The two actors had a prior feud on the set of the film "Lords of Flatbush" roughly two decades before the "Lion King" era. According to Stallone’s memoir "The Steps," the working relationship was so strained that it was clear to everyone that "one of [them] had to go." During an audition, Stallone reported that Gere's nails dug into his skin, which Stallone claimed "stirred the emotional cauldron" inside him. The friction was further exacerbated by a chicken-grease spill, eventually leading to Gere being replaced by Perry King.

What specific incident occurred between Sylvester Stallone and Richard Gere at a dinner party hosted by Elton John in the 1990s?
Sylvester Stallone and Richard Gere nearly engaged in a fistfight in a hallway following a dispute over Princess Diana. The incident took place at a star-studded dinner hosted by Elton John during the time he was writing songs for the 1994 film "The Lion King." The tension arose because Princess Diana appeared to be "taken with" Richard Gere, and the two spent a significant amount of time "locked in rapt conversation" in front of a fireplace. When Gere continued to give her attention, Stallone became angry and stormed out, declaring that he would have "taken her" if he had wanted her and expressing his displeasure at Prince Charles being present.

Three friends of Nolan Wells sued Terrell Owens for defamation after the Hall of Famer demanded their arrests, even after a grand jury declined charges in the teen's drowning death. The fathers of Warren Hudson, Jax Pitalo and Morgan Seymour filed a federal defamation lawsuit Monday on their sons’ behalf against the former NFL star, saying his social media blast painted the young men as killers who got away with it. All three plaintiffs are under 21 and count as minors under Mississippi law. The suit targets a Sept. 26 post in which Owens wrote “ARREST THEM IMMEDIATELY!!” and linked an Instagram reel that accused the trio of deleting Snapchat messages and suggested they may have been responsible for Wells’ death. Fox News Digital…Open

What is the legal representation and stance of the plaintiffs in the defamation suit against Terrell Owens?
The three friends are represented by defamation attorney Edward Paltzik. Paltzik stated that Owens' actions went beyond mere criticism, essentially telling his audience to "get your pitchforks, get your torches." The lawsuit seeks to hold Owens and his agency, SMAC Entertainment, accountable for the reputational damage caused by publicly labeling the teens as criminals who "walked free."

The lawsuit contends that Owens used his large platform to brand the teens as murderers in a "false light" despite the lack of evidence.

Describe the circumstances surrounding the death of Nolan Wells on Horn Island.
Nolan Wells, an 18-year-old wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College, went on a boat trip to Horn Island with a large group of friends on July 4. He did not return to the mainland with the group and his body was found two days later off the island's coast. While some friends claimed he stayed behind to talk to a girl, his family disputed this account. A family forensic pathologist, Roger A. Mitchell Jr., classified the death as "undetermined," noting acute blunt force injuries to the head and body but stating Wells did not appear too intoxicated to swim.

AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - Mamdani’s wife illustrates for olive oil brand that honors plane attacker and anti-Israel ‘martyrs’

New York City first lady Rama Duwaji has produced artwork for an olive oil brand that puts a celebrated plane attacker on its bottles and pumps anti-Israel slogans across its social feeds.

New York City first lady Rama Duwaji has produced artwork for an olive oil brand that puts a celebrated plane attacker on its bottles and pumps anti-Israel slogans across its social feeds. The Washington Free Beacon reported that Duwaji, a Brooklyn-based Syrian illustrator married to Mayor Zohran Mamdani, has created illustrations for Olive Odyssey since at least October 2025, including work tied to product pages that sell bottles for close to $100. One offering, the Nazareth Picholine Cold Pressed Floral Harvest 2025, carries a hand-drawn portrait of Khalil Abu Osba, whom the company markets as a “Palestinian resistance fighter.” Family accounts credit him with shooting a British plane out of the sky, drawing a death sentence,…Open

How does the involvement of Rama Duwaji in this branding contrast with the official actions of her husband, Mayor Zohran Mamdani?
While Mayor Mamdani recently launched a $30 million city program to combat antisemitism, his wife has been paid to create artwork for a brand that sells "from the river to the sea" messaging, lionizes a PFLP spokesman, and features a celebrated plane attacker on its products. Additionally, the NYPD refused to provide officers for the couple's travel to Syria and Lebanon.
Q&A ID 2147ba94-ead6-415a-98ab-f0457c6c091c
What other public activities or affiliations has Rama Duwaji had regarding anti-Israel sentiment?
Beyond her work for Olive Odyssey, reports indicate that Duwaji previously honored female terrorists Leila Khaled and Shadia Abu Ghazaleh on social media (posts which were later deleted). She also served as an artist-in-residence at a luxury Islamic women’s retreat that advocated for the abolition of Israel and celebrated Ghassan Kanafani, an organization that appears to share an orbit with the organizers of Olive Odyssey.
Q&A ID 0ac80d44-7b9e-47d6-8d08-8514d88619ce
What is the connection between Rama Duwaji's work and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)?
Olive Odyssey, for which Duwaji provides illustrations, marked the anniversary of the death of Ghassan Kanafani with a post praising him as a threat to the "settler state." Kanafani was a founder and spokesman for the PFLP, a group designated as a terrorist organization by the United States. The company's post featured official PFLP poster imagery featuring skulls and highlighted Kanafani's rejection of international law.
Q&A ID 8389a37d-4c38-40de-8ede-5ba12935422c
What is the political nature of the social media content and branding used by the company Olive Odyssey?
Olive Odyssey uses its social media feeds to promote anti-Israel slogans and "resistance" branding. This includes using the slogan "from the river to the sea," sharing imagery of Israel as a skull with dead Palestinians in its teeth, and posting a video featuring a farmer who equates the "martyrs" watering the land with their blood. The brand has also used TikTok to call for "strategic disruptions" in support of Gaza and attacked the Jewish National Fund's trees as "soldiers of the occupation."
