For Ava DuVernay, whose projects like 13th, Selma, and When They See Us challenge viewers to contend with the gut-wrenching racism that’s colored American history, Origin provides a more global perspective on racial inequality and its foundation within social hierarchies.
“I try to make soul food with my movies, not junk food, not fast food,” DuVernay tells Rolling Stone. “Not stuff that goes in and goes straight up the next day, but stuff that sticks to your ribs.”

2024 might be the year many high-profile names might go under.
This week, Jeffrey Epstein’s sealed court filings are set to be released and made public and will reveal many of the names associated with the late sex offender.
Last month, U.S. District Court Judge Loretta Preska ordered the unsealing of Epstein’s court documents, emphasizing that there was no legal reason to continue hiding the names in the records.
British Royal Prince Andrew and former President Bill Clinton are among the names expected to be revealed this week.
Though Prince Andrew has denied all allegations against him, his involvement with Epstein has been frequently publicized, detailing the alleged encounters with the British royal that sex trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre has claimed.
Clinton, on the other hand, hasn’t been accused of doing anything wrong but his name reportedly appears in the documents more than 50 times.

Ava DuVernay’s new indie feature “Origin” had its world premiere at the 2023 Venice Film Festival as the fest was starting to wrap up on Wednesday, September 6. In the process, DuVernay made history as the first African American female filmmaker ever to have a movie perform at Venice in competition. The import of the moment as relates to festival gender diversity wasn’t lost on DuVernay – “Origin’s” writer and producer as well as its director – who on Wednesday told the Venice press corps in advance of the screening, “We are often told you cannot play international film festivals, no one will come, people will not come to your press conference, people will not come to the P&i screenings, you will not get into this festival, don’t apply.”
DuVernay credited the fact the film was made independently for her breaking the female color barrier at such a prestigious festival as Venice.

New York, July 3 (Ians) Women must be involved in developing new Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems to prevent bias from these technology tools, American philanthropist Melinda French Gates has said.
French Gates, who is the former wife of billionaire Bill Gates, said she is “very nervous” about how incorporating AI into as many products as possible will ultimately play out for women, because they are not taking the view of women.
“I’m very nervous because we don’t have enough women, again, who are computer scientists, and who have expertise in artificial intelligence, and without that, we will bake bias into the system,” she was quoted as saying to CNN.
“The system needs to take all people’s points of view, and see society, and quite frankly, see the world writ large as it is. “This is why having women in the room and in decision-making positions when it comes...

Michelle Obama got candid about questioning her value and self-worth in conversation with Amal Clooney and Melinda Gates on Oct. 25. While announcing a collaboration between their respective organizations, Obama, Clooney, and Gates teamed up to support young women's education and empowerment at an event for the Girls Opportunity Alliance's Get Her There campaign and spoke about their advice and hopes for adolescent girls.

Diego Boneta was 15 years old when he was close to starring in “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.” “They did the audition in Mexico City,” the “Father of the Bride” actor tells me on this week’s episode of the “Just for Variety” podcast. “They flew me to L.A. to test. It was my first feature film audition and my first audition, period! … It was between me and Ben Barnes.”
Barnes landed the role, but the experience inspired the Mexico City-raised Boneta to move to Los Angeles to pursue a Hollywood career: “I was trying to get auditions for Mexican films for years, and they would not see me because they’re like, ‘No, you don’t look Mexican enough.’”
Boneta first made a splash in 2012 starring opposite Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin and Julianne Hough in director Adam Shankman’s musical romance “Rock of Ages.” “Tom took me under his wing,...

Other streaming credits for Yang have included Apple TV+’s Little America, an anything-goes anthological exploration of the immigrant experience, and the most recent season of Netflix’s Master of None, which audaciously (if not always successfully) extended the beloved, Emmy-winning series to include new characters and a new tone.

Judge Judy Sheindlin is adjourning from her hit daytime show after 25 years. But not before getting a few things off her chest.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Sheindlin said tensions with CBS made her toss in the towel on her long-running daytime courtroom reality show. Most of the ire stems from CBS buying out Sheindlin’s ownership of Judge Judy reruns, ostensibly to stop her from shopping the show’s library.
Sheindlin added that she felt “disrespected” by CBS’s work on Hot Bench, another courtroom show she created in 2014. Some CBS-owned stations “in major markets” bumped Hot Bench to make room for The Drew Barrymore Show, the WSJ story contended.
“You disrespected my creation,” Sheindlin said of the studio’s Hot Bench efforts. “And you were wrong. Not only in disrespecting my creation, but your gamble in what you put in its place.”

There's no such thing as a billion-dollar divorce that slips under the radar—let alone a $124 billion divorce. And the May 3 announcement that Bill and Melinda Gates were ending their marriage after 27 years came as a shock regardless, the Microsoft cofounder and his partner in global philanthropy innocuously chugging along all this time, their Seattle-area home base a 66,000-square-foot mega-mansion with its own beach on the shore of Lake Washington.

San Francisco, May 17 (Ians) Some of the Microsoft board members last year wanted Bill Gates to step down amid an internal investigation into his alleged affair with an employee, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Gates finally resigned from the Microsoft board in March 2020 before the investigation had been completed, the report said on Sunday.

The hosts of “The View” are not at all surprised by the news that Bill Gates cheated on his soon-to-be ex-wife. And honestly, they don’t particularly care.
The topic came up on Monday’s episode of “The View,” after new reports that in the process of divorcing Melinda Gates, Bill Gates admitted to having an affair with an employee 20 years ago. The question that came next was simply: will Gates’ career and legacy actually be tarnished by this revelation? For the panel of women, the answer was a resounding “no.”
“You know, this guys saves countries,” Joy Behar said. “And I don’t think that his personal peccadillos have had any effect, negatively, on what he does for the world with his money. I’m a fan of his.”
Behar went on to compare the situation to Fdr having an affair with his secretary while he was president. She...

Bill Gates was nudged off the Microsoft board in 2020 as directors pursued an investigation into the company founder’s prior relationship with a female employee, according to news reports.
Members of the board had hired a law firm to examine the issue in 2019 after a Microsoft engineer alleged in a letter that she had relationship with Gates over several years, the reports said. Gates resigned before the probe was completed.
A spokeswoman for Mr. Gates told the WSJ: “There was an affair almost 20 years ago which ended amicably.” She said his “decision to transition off the board was in no way related to this matter. In fact, he had expressed an interest in spending more time on his philanthropy starting several years earlier.”
Gates was Microsoft CEO until 2000, chief software architect until 2006 and chairman until 2014. He remained on the board until March of 2020 when he resigned to focus on philanthropy...
