Creator Plus, a movie studio and distribution startup centered on digital influencers, has greenlit its second feature-length film: Country-club comedy “Diamond in the Rough,” starring Samantha Boscarino (Disney’s “Good Luck Charlie”) and TikTok star and entrepreneur Griffin Johnson (MTV’s “Ridiculousness”).

The parents of an Ohio State University psychology student who was killed early Sunday by her 25-year-old boyfriend — who then took his own life — shared their grief earlier this week following the sudden loss of their daughter.
Joe Bronczyk, the father of 22-year-old Heather Campbell, told local TV station Wjw he is suffering through the single hardest time in his life.
“It’s not what runs through your head; it’s what is ripped out of your heart and soul,” Bronczyk told the station.
“The nightmare starts over,” he said. “This is the second day … it starts all over in the morning again.

If this were Law & Order: Black Magic, which it almost seems like it wants to be, it’d be a helluva lot more interesting than it is. I’m “biast” (pro): nothing

First of all, why is Vin Diesel the last witch hunter? It doesn’t make any sense. There should be lots of witch hunters. It’s not like the need for them died out. Sure, Diesel’s Kaulder (K: the sexy new C) has been around since the Middle Ages, cuz a witch cursed him with immortality and stuff — bloody typical — but he was a witch hunter before that when he was still mortal. He doesn’t have superpowers or anything. He’s just a guy doing a job, and it’s a job that still needs doing, even in the 21st century.

A teenage girl, blond and composed, stood at the corner of the playground facing Fourth Avenue and, with a welter of parents and aspiring performers behind her, sang a song to herself and passers-by. No, this wasn’t a moment from a movie musical; it was the scene outside Grace Church School in Manhattan’s Union Square, site of the open call for Von Trapp children in NBC’s live broadcast of “The Sound of Music,” set to air Dec. 5. A beloved musical in its own right, this production of “The Sound of Music” has the added allure of starring “American Idol” winner Carrie Underwood and Stephen Moyer (“True Blood”). But for Broadway babies, the real attraction just might be the project’s casting director, Bernard Telsey. “Although we always see all the agent kids and all the submitted kids, every time we do open calls it’s a great...
