  • Battles Between Talent and Management Rising on The K-Pop Scene: Girls Generation, Block B and BAP Cases Cited

    Not everything is as pretty in the Korean music industry as we might be led to believe. As K-Pop continues to grow in the United States it's easy to forget that the consumer trends in South Korea are similar to those in the United States: record sales have started to dwindle. As entertainment promoters and labels try to find the next way to draw profit, relationships between those organizations and the artists representing them have started to fray, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal. The story focuses on Jessica Jung's departure from Girls Generation during September but also examines a litany of other established K-Pop acts.

  • Angelina Jolie Is Rumored to Be Starving Herself to Stay Thin Again

    Angelina Jolie has been earning rave reviews for her dedicated work on "Unbroken." The star recently admitted that she has enjoyed directing so much that it is likely that she will be trading her time in front of the camera for a spot behind it in the next phase of her career. Her work in chronicling Louis Zamperini's life as he went from an Olympic-level athlete to a POW has been considered Oscar-worthy, and the actors who she directed have offered up nothing but praise for her. They have also mentioned the fact that Jolie ate little and lost weight while working on the film.This little detail has caused the usual rash of insinuations in the press that Jolie has some food issues that flare up when she is under stress. It is not the first time we have heard the whispers and it is unlikely to be the last, either. She is the kind of A-list celebrity who ends up having her every move over-analyzed. Before hooking up with Brad Pitt and having six children, Jolie was known for her wild ways and a lot of unhealthy habits. Perhaps not eating enough is one of the few that has stuck.

  • Debbie Allen Is Struggling to Believe the Allegations that Have Been Made Against Her Good Friend Bill Cosby

    As more allegations of sexual misconduct are leveled against Bill Cosby on almost a daily basis, his supporters seem to be scattering. That makes the people who are still firmly planted in his corner a bit more noteworthy. Debbie Allen has long been affiliated with the actor, and while promoting her new BET special "The Hot Chocolate Nutcracker," she weighed in on the whole scandal, admitting that she finds the allegations "hard to believe" because of the man she has believed Cosby to be.Allen recently discussed her thoughts with "Today's" Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee, explaining:"I don't think we can have this conversation honestly in two minutes. It begs to ask a bigger question. Where's the moral spine in America and in the world today? Because how are we raising our daughters, our sons? Where are we looking for the guidance of how we're supposed to live? Cosby gave us one of the greatest shows in history and redefined the perception of black people all over the world."At the same time, I'm a part of One Billion Rising. This is a movement for women to stand up against violence and denigration of women. This is a tough situation, and it's just hard to believe. I don't know. I think that so much time has passed before they all have kind of have come together ... there's a big question that my mother asks me every day, 'Why now? Why are these people trying to destroy his legacy?'"
