☆ 3 tips on negotiating from Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer: 'I always get a raise'
  + stars: | 2023-01-18 | by ( Eboni Boykin-Patterson | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer recently discussed her pay negotiation tactics in an interview. Spencer has been a vocal advocate of equal pay for women of color in Hollywood. Her perspective has remained straightforward on the topic: "Women and women of color have always lagged. While acknowledging that some negotiating is always necessary because, "Nobody's going to offer you what you're worth," she said, "I'm also not that negotiator who's going to go back and forth. If you can't come up to my price, there are so many other people that you can go to who probably will accept what you're offering.
☆ My Nickelodeon show 'Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide' was the high-point of my career at only 15. I'm 31 now and still trying to figure out Hollywood and adulting.

Devon Werkheiser was the star of Nickelodeon's "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide" in 2004. A version of "Ned's" in high school was pitched (our show was specifically about middle school) to Nickelodeon, but they passed on it. When I started going in for more dramatic roles on bigger movies and shows, I'd never be right for the part. The next level I'd been trying to get to career-wise wasn't happening, and then my personal life wasn't a walk in the park either. or "Where's 'Ned's' guide to adulting?"
☆ Jaguars roar back from 27-point deficit to stun Chargers and advance in AFC playoffs
  + stars: | 2023-01-15 | by ( Josh Alper | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +2 min
A creative play from Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson set up the winning kick. Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker missed a 40-yard field goal to aid the comeback effort and the Jaguars took full advantage. After the fourth of those touchdowns, Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct after slamming his helmet to the turf while arguing for a penalty on Jaguars tackle Jawaan Taylor. That allowed the Jaguars to go for two and be in position to win the game with a field goal. While the Jaguars will be moving on to play another game, the Chargers will be left to pick up the pieces of a massive collapse.
☆ 'Victorious' star Avan Jogia says being a kid actor doesn't prepare you for a Hollywood career
  + stars: | 2023-01-13 | by ( Eboni Boykin-Patterson | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Jogia says kid roles on networks like Nickelodeon don't prepare you for a career in adult Hollywood. I wouldn't say that acting in the kids' television part of the industry, like I did, prepares you for a career in Hollywood. Everyone wants to be the author of their own story, but success in this industry really comes down to luck and persistence. What you're really doing as a filmmaker is trying to recreate a dream. That's the thing that makes it a little bit addicting — because you're like, on the next one, I can get it perfect.
☆ I lasted as a Hollywood assistant for less than a year. Being a constant target for terrible behavior simply wasn't worth $15 an hour.

In 2019, I was an assistant at a major Hollywood talent agency, ICM, for eight months. I'd pretty much always wanted to work in the entertainment industry as a screenwriter — I wanted to tell diverse stories. We all had the same plan: Do a year or two, make some connections, and then leave to one of the coveted creative jobs that only former Hollywood agent assistants have access to. This Hollywood assistant lifestyle just isn't conducive to any of that. If you work in Hollywood and would like to share your story, email Eboni Boykin-Patterson at eboykinpatterson@insider.com.

The debate comes less than two months after Twitter restored Trump’s account, but Meta’s intention to reevaluate the decision predates Twitter’s reversal. “I can’t think of what that rigorous standard would be that would make this policy be applied fairly, not just to former President Trump, but to any politician.”Is Trump bound to Truth Social?

WASHINGTON—President Biden plans to commemorate the second anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot by giving medals to law-enforcement officers who protected lawmakers that day and election officials who resisted efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential contest. Recipients are to include former Arizona House Speaker Russell “Rusty” Bowers , a Republican who lost his seat in an August primary after resisting pressure from President Donald Trump to hold a hearing in the state that could have led to changing election results. Mr. Biden also plans to posthumously recognize Brian Sicknick , a Capitol Police officer who died the day after the attack.

'M3GAN' star and executive producer Allison Williams is unbothered by the 'nepo-baby' conversation. In a new interview, Williams said she had great opportunities from her father's connections. In a new interview with New York Mag, Allison Williams, daughter of former NBC anchor Brian Williams, says acknowledging her privilege is just fine with her. She doesn't think the nepo-baby conversation is coming from a bad place either — she said, "All that people are looking for is an acknowledgement that it's not a level playing field." Williams told Wired in a December interview that acknowledging the advantages of being a nepo-baby comes down to trusting her skills.

☆ The Year in Fiction: In a Stifling Atmosphere, Finding a Taste of Freedom
  + stars: | 2022-12-30 | by ( Sam Sacks | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
In a trial that involved the testimony of Stephen King, federal prosecutors argued that further consolidation of the book industry would reduce competition, depress author payments and bring about a bleakly monocultural book market. But the unspoken reason the prosecutors convinced was that they described not some dystopian publishing future but simply an intensification of the way the business already works. As it stands, the Big Five book publishers, PRH and S&S among them, are responsible for roughly 80% of the U.S. book market. The demands of corporatization mean that an increasing amount of their activity is devoted to the generation and publicizing of bestsellers. The outlook begins to resemble a film industry monopolized by comic-book franchises.

Stocks may be careening toward their worst year since 2008, but some names are completing a remarkable run after doubling or more in 2022. In 2022, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has lost 8.4%, while the S & P 500 shed 19.2%. These stocks are up more than 100% this year, and include tankers for petroleum products, energy companies such as coal firms, and biotech and pharmaceutical names, according to CNBC. Ardmore Shipping and Scorpio Tankers were the top tanker stocks, both up about 316% for the year. Energy companies came out on top in 2022 following a surge in oil and gas prices — which market participants say will remain elevated given expectations of tight supply ahead.

The Justice Department had no comment on the Jan. 6 panel’s final report, but the 845-page document could provide a road map for aspects of its probe. WASHINGTON—With the publication late Thursday of the House’s Jan. 6 select committee’s final report and the panel disbanding, the spotlight returns to the Justice Department and its efforts to investigate and potentially prosecute allies of Donald Trump and the former president himself. Federal prosecutors’ separate sprawling probe is covering similar ground and, senior department officials say, is unlikely to be directly influenced by the report or other actions on Capitol Hill. But the 845-page document could provide a road map for aspects of the probe, including into Trump allies’ efforts to undo the 2020 results by sending false electoral certificates to Congress and the National Archives.
