A coroner’s report last month said her death was from an accidental overdose.

Initial reactions to “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping” are in after the Francis Lawrence-directed film had its red carpet premiere in London Wednesday, and some are praising the movie as “easily the best film” in the franchise. The highly anticipated new “Hunger Games” prequel stars Joseph Zada as the younger version of Woody Harrelson’s Haymitch Abernathy, the champion of the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Quarter Quell. And, from what is being said on social media, Zada’s performance as Haymitch is likely to send him into superstardom. “‘SUNRISE ON THE REAPING’ is easily the best film in the Hunger Games franchise,” Nerds of Color author Nikita Francois said on Wednesday. “Joseph Zada is electrifying as Haymitch, and the cast is true to the characters we’re introduced to in the book. Filled with all-fire, it’s a MUST-SEE in theaters.” Collider’s Perri Nemiroff expressed a similar sentiment, writing on X, “The ‘Hunger Games’ franchise remains a favorite. ‘THE HUNGER GAMES: SUNRISE ON THE REAPING’ rocks a ton of stunning craftsmanship, yet another phenomenal cast and an exhilarating narrative that serves as a powerful reminder that nothing is inevitable and it is possible to break a bad machine.” “One…

The Walt Disney Company’s theme parks division laid off between 100 and 200 people on Wednesday, TheWrap has learned. The staff cuts reportedly followed a regular evaluation of the division’s investments and pending projects, with the entertainment conglomerate having more theme parks-set projects in the works than in the past. It’s said all affected employees were slated to be informed by end of day on Wednesday.The layoffs impacted those across all parts of Imagineering, which is the creative and technical arm that brings to life theme parks, attractions, resorts, cruise ships and live entertainment. While the theme parks division brought in $36.2 billion in revenue in 2025 and made up more than 56% of the company’s operating income, Disney offered voluntary early retirement packages in August to executives as part of a cost-reduction effort. “Over the past few years, we’ve made real changes to how we operate, and we’re still in that process,” Chief People Officer Sonia Coleman wrote in a staff memo at the time. “As you heard on our most recent earnings call, we’re focused on meaningfully reducing costs as part of our ongoing transformation, so we can continue to invest in the areas that will drive our…

Barack Obama doubled down on his criticism of Donald Trump, suggesting the president was not a “serious” person and pointing to his reaction to the Cheesecake Factory jab as proof. During a rally for Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff and gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms in Morrow, Ga., the former president addressed the outcry over his dig at Trump’s renovation projects, in which he claimed the current president had the “White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.” “I mean, it’s all crazy, but this was the really crazy part, they mobilized a whole of government response to that joke,” Obama told rally attendees. “Not to inflation, but to that joke. The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the man who is in charge of the economy, the person who’s supposed to be figuring out how to make your life more affordable, the guy who’s supposed to be figuring out how to lower inflation and and reduce interest rates. They told him he should hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory.” He added: “This really happened, and the Treasury Secretary, he happens to be a former hedge fund manager worth half…
