Taylor Swift isn't just shaking it off: she's shaking things up in Hollywood with a bombshell deal that has reportedly left studios seething. The pop icon is bringing her "Eras Tour" concert to theaters on October 13, and has made the radical move of cutting out the middleman — a Hollywood studio distributor like Disney, Paramount, or Universal— and making a deal directly with AMC Theatres to distribute the film on its screens, while also distributing in other theaters via a sub-distribution deal with Variance Films.
Here's why this is such a big deal. Traditionally there are three parties involved in bringing movies to theaters: the producer, the distributor, and the exhibitor. The first two are often housed under the same roof; for example, Disney owns Pixar Animation Studios (a production company) and also distributes Pixar movies by making deals with exhibitors (theaters). Box office ticket sales are then split between the exhibitors and the distributor,...

It wasn't only Stephen Price behind Anthony's abduction.
Much of the how and why came together on The Disappearance Season 1 Episode 5.
I'll admit I never saw the twist coming in this case.
My theory was that Price and David Smith were the same people. After all, both were around the same age and were associated with St. James Orphanage.
Why couldn't the Sullivans and the police see a connection that was so obvious?
Granted, I hadn't pieced together the logistics of how a tween-ager could change his name, and that probably should have scuttled the idea from the get-go.
Still, when Paula, Susan's new lead detective, suggested the same possibility, I thought that maybe I was on the right track after all.
But no. I was only half right at best.

That's about as much as the police and the Sullivans were managing as well.

Rachel Maddow, Andrea Mitchell, Maria Shriver and Kelly O’Donnell and more than 60 other women have voiced their support for Tom Brokaw in the wake of sexual harassment allegations leveled against the NBC News veteran.
The letter signed by current and former NBC News staffers praises Brokaw “as a man of tremendous decency and integrity” and as one who “treated each of us with fairness and respect.” It comes on the heels of reports in the Washington Post and Variety that Brokaw made unwanted sexual advances to former NBC News anchor Linda Vester in the mid-1990s.
Brokaw,” the letter reads, “has given each of us opportunities for advancement and championed our successes throughout our careers. As we have advanced across industries — news, publishing, law, business and government — Tom has been a valued source of counsel and support. We know him to be a man of tremendous decency and integrity.

For Andrea Smith, not having her deployed Marine sergeant husband home gets a bit harder around the holidays.
“Not having him home with us in general is hard, but around the holidays I find myself missing him so much more,” she tells People.
Andrea’s husband, Staff Sgt. Andrew Smith, will be on duty overseas during the holidays, while Andrea and their 3-year-old daughter celebrate Christmas with one another at home. So, she decided to include her husband in the family’s Christmas card — as if he were there in the flesh.

When Greg Smith saw the rising floodwaters outside his Houston apartment on Sunday, he knew instantly that his pregnant wife Andrea Smith would go into labor that day. He did not, however, know that a dump truck would rescue his family while his wife was about to give birth.
Greg and his wife, both doctors, arrived in Houston in late July to do advanced medical training in their respective specialities. Greg is a pediatric anesthesiologist and Andrea specializes in geriatrics.
“We’re very new to Houston — and new to hurricanes,” Greg tells People. But hurricane-savvy neighbors and co-workers agreed that...
