Sydney Sweeney isn’t letting anyone keep her down. Yesterday, representatives for the “Immaculate” and “Madame Web” actress hit back at film producer Carol Baum for criticizing her appearance and disparaging remarks about her ability to act.
Following a public screening of the 1988 horror film “Dead Ringers,” which she produced, Baum spoke with Janet Maslin of the New York Times and randomly threw barbs at the “Euphoria” star.

Basically, everyone knows Sydney Sweeney at this point. The young actress has had a string of successful projects after her breakout role in HBO’s Euphoria. Her new movie, the horror Immaculate, is currently in cinemas and while the young actress is slowly working on building her career, there are some who don’t seem to understand her success and are actually ready to publicly call her out because of that.
We know that many people think that Sweeney succeeded simply because of her looks, but is that really fair towards the young actress? There seems to be a lot of criticism directed at her, creating a toxic atmosphere that should not be there, and these recent comments show just how wrong all of that is.
So, what happened? One of America’s major female producers, Carol Baum, had a talk with film critic Janet Maslin and the two touched...

Sydney Sweeney has starred in a string of hits of late, and her Hollywood career has truly taken off. The actress has delivered power-packed performances, showcasing her range as an artist. From her role as a troubled nun in Immaculate to a lovestruck woman in Anyone But You, Sweeney has been winning hearts.
Unfortunately, not everyone in the industry feels that way about the actress. Carol Baum thinks that the Euphoria star is not worth the hype she has been generating of late. Sweeney, who is known for speaking her mind, clapped back, and the drama has only intensified since then.

What happened to women supporting women? Earlier this week Hollywood producer Carol Baum disparaged Sydney Sweeney’s acting ability and appearance, prompting the actress and fellow producer to respond.
“How sad that a woman in the position to share her expertise and experience chooses instead to attack another woman,” a representative for Sweeney said in a statement to press. “If that’s what she’s learned in her decades in the industry and feels is appropriate to teach to her students, that’s shameful. To unjustly disparage a fellow female producer speaks volumes about Ms.

Sydney Sweeney caught a stray last week when veteran Hollywood producer Carol Baum said at an event that Sweeney is “not pretty” and “can’t act” — and that her hit rom-com “Anyone but You” was “unwatchable.”
A representative for Sweeney has now fired back at Baum, saying in a statement shared with Variety: “How sad that a woman in the position to share her expertise and experience chooses instead to attack another woman. If that’s what she’s learned in her decades in the industry and feels is appropriate to teach to her students, that’s shameful. To unjustly disparage a fellow female producer speaks volumes about Ms. Baum’s character.”
Baum, a longtime Hollywood producer and executive behind films including “Dead Ringers,” “Father of the Bride” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” made the disparaging comments about Sweeney during a discussion in Pleasantville, N.Y., with New York Times film critic Janet Maslin.

Madame Web star Sydney Sweeney is a hugely in-demand actress right now, but one top producer doesn’t understand the hype. Carol Baum, who served as executive producer on films such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Father of the Bride, slammed the White Lotus actress during a discussion after a screening of her 1988 film Dead Ringers. According to the Daily Mail, Baum said she “didn’t get” Sweeney, who rose to fame playing Cassie Howard on HBO’s hit teen drama Euphoria and has gone on to star in films such as Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Voyeurs, Reality, Anyone But You, and Immaculate. “I was watching on the plane Sydney Sweeney’s movie because I wanted to watch it,” Baum continued, referring to Will Gluck’s 2024 romantic comedy Anyone But You. “I wanted to know who she is and why everybody’s talking about her.” She added,...

The talented Wayne Brady will appear in an iconic role this month as he suits up for his latest adventure in entertainment.
Brady, best known for hosting TV’s Let’s Make a Deal, and his improv comedy skills on Whose Line Is It Anyway?, has also had plenty of unique roles on stage.
Now, he will appear in the Tony Award-winning musical The Wiz as the title character.
He recently addressed what it’s like to take on that role as he admired a larger-than-life image of himself as the character.
“Does it really sink in when you see your face on the wall?” CBS Sunday Morning’s interviewer asked him.
“I think it sinks in. This never gets old,” he admitted, adding, “I mean, come on. It’s my big old head on Broadway.”

Jimmie Allen’s lawyers have filed a motion to withdraw as the country singer’s legal counsel in his two separate sexual assault cases, but they are facing pushback from one of the Jane Doe plaintiffs.

After two weeks with no major studio releases, we get another weekend with just a single new wide release, though it should be one of the bigger holiday movies. Read on for Gold Derby’s box office preview.
What’s interesting about the three releases we’re covering in today’s weekend preview is that all three of them received mentions at the Golden Globes nominations on Monday.
The widest release into over 4,000 theaters is Warner Bros’ musical prequel “Wonka,” telling the origin story of chocolatier Willy Wonka, as played by Timothée Chalamet. The character was introduced in Roald Baum‘s 1964 children’s book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” but was made famous when played by Gene Wilder in the 1971 film “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.” Directed by Paul King (“Paddington”), this new take on the character, his origin story, co-stars Oscar winner Olivia Colman, Hugh Grant, Keegan Michael-Key,...

First up, I have to answer the question I had when I picked up this book: yes, that tin man. Well, one of those tin men, to be clearer.
Justin Madison’s debut graphic novel Tin Man is set in a version of L. Frank Baum’s Oz, and his tin man, Campbell, has the familiar shape and form Americans expect from their tin men since 1939. But that’s not particularly clear at the beginning of the story, and it’s never important. It’s something bigger than an Easter egg, I guess, since there are plenty of references to Baum here, but it’s all background.
We’re in a recognizably modern world: suburbia, TV news, two-paycheck families, junkyards, high school students who play video games and hang out to do mischief. The land is called Oz, which is mentioned but not emphasized. It looks mostly like our world,...

WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikers picketing at Radford Studios Center in Studio City will be allowed at the main gates of the property starting Monday after the unions threatened legal action over the dangerous conditions of the only previously available locations.
WGA strike captain Andra Whipple announced the victory Friday to picketers and media outside another gate at the studio.
“We have won a huge victory in the battle of Radford because of the article that came out yesterday,” Whipple said. “Within an hour of that article coming out, the studio suddenly wanted to get on the phone very urgently, and they wanted to let us know, ‘Oh, well, we would love to have you picket on Radford.’ So starting on Monday, this picket line will be moving to Radford Avenue.

The deadpan director joins Extinction Rebellion and asks why are we so concerned with our careers when the planet is in mortal danger?
Josh Appignanesi is the director who has found a jaunty, funny film-making language in low-budget personal work – co-directed with his wife, Devorah Baum – about his crises with status and masculinity. The New Man, from 2016, was about impending fatherhood; Husband, from 2022, showed his complicated feelings about Baum’s career outpacing his. The second was a goofy performance in the autofictional-autofactual grey area; Appignanesi’s cheerfully dishevelled figure was at the centre of almost every shot, sometimes leaving us to wonder if and where he had staged or reconstructed certain important moments – a heightened video-diarising or guided reality.
