Newly single Orlando Bloom posts about loneliness amid split from Katy Perry
Orlando Bloom is in the "posting cryptic things to Instagram" phase of his breakup, and he seems to be feeling lonely? At least based on a Carl Jung quote the actor posted late Wednesday night, which reads: "Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself." Oh, and another quote for all of us to read into (though Orly didn't share this one directly)? "Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness." Rumours of Orlando and Katy's split have been swirling for weeks, and a source recently told People that their relationship has been "breaking down the last couple of months." Oh, and while things are "amicable," they "got to a point where they feel there is no going back to a healthy relationship and that it's better to live separate lives." Another source more recently noted that: "Katy and Orlando have been suffering through the same problems that have plagued them for years. [They had] too much going on in their lives, which makes it hard to find time for each other and iron out disagreements. When they don't communicate properly, their relationship dips to a low level." For what it's worth, neither Katy, Orlando, or their reps have actually confirmed the end of their engagement, things could still work out?

U.K. Streaming Levy Officially Rejected by Government: 'We Support a Mixed Ecology'
Panic over, streamers — the U.K. government has rejected calls for a levy on platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+. The streaming tax had been put to the government by Britain's Culture, Media and Sport Committee in a bid to salvage local British production on high-end television and film, allowing public service broadcasters such as the BBC and ITV to claw back some of the finance hogged by streamers. More from The Hollywood Reporter Spike Lee's 'Highest 2 Lowest' to Kick Off Opening Weekend of Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival BBC Deemed Bob Vylan "High Risk" Before Glastonbury Set, Moves Staff Off Live Events Team Italian Film Chief Resigns Amid Probe Into Tax Credit for U.S. Producer Now Accused of Double Murder It comes as the booming production industry in the U.K. continues to skew toward the platforms. U.K. production spend reached £5.6 billion ($7.9 billion) in 2024, a 31 percent increase since 2023, with £4.8 billion ($6.5 billion) of this total coming from inward investment and co-productions. In its response, published Thursday, the government did not agree with the proposed 5 percent levy, and instead expressed a wish to see 'a healthy, mixed film and TV ecology.' 'Investment from SVoD [Subscription Video on Demand] services contributes to the success of our domestic sector,' the statement said, noting schemes such as Amazon Prime's Video Pathway and Disney's investments in the expansion of Bedfordshire's National Film and Television School. The response cited Barbie and Bridgerton's £80 million ($109m) and £275 million ($375m) contribution, respectively, to the U.K. economy over the last five years. The regency-era Netflix show has supported 5,000 local business in Britain. 'In line with our objective to support a mixed ecology, we will however continue to engage with major SVoD services, with the independent production sector and with PSBs [Public Service Broadcasters] on how best to ensure mutually beneficial conditions for all parties,' it added. The government said it would 'strongly welcome' increased investment in U.K. content and wants to see more successful co-productions between streamers and PSBs, it concluded, such as the BBC and HBO's His Dark Materials or the BBC Three-Netflix team-up on A Good Girl's Guide to Murder. Netflix alone has invested billions of pounds into the U.K., working with more than 200 producers and 30,000 cast and crew members. 'Netflix members have already paid the BBC license fee. A levy would be a double tax on them and us. It's unfair,' a source close to the matter told THR when news of the levy first swirled. 'This is a tariff on success. And our members are going to be punished.' The government response also ruled out a return to the European Union's Creative Europe. 'Whilst we do not have any plans to rejoin Creative Europe, we recognize these sectors' unique and valuable contributions to Europe's diverse cultural landscape and the economic benefits that relationship brings.' Support from the government in this area includes scaling up the U.K. Global Screen Fund — from £7m ($9.5m) to £18m ($24.5m) annually — in a bid to show commitment to increasing U.K. independent screen content's international reach.

Janelle James Looks Back on Not Getting Role on Netflix's ‘GLOW' After She 'Nailed' Audition
Janelle James is looking back on a role that got away. While appearing in Kelly Ripa's Let's Talk Off Camera podcast, the Abbott Elementary star was asked if she's able to watch projects she auditioned for but didn't get. James then reflected on the one role she 'really wanted.' More from The Hollywood Reporter U.K. Streaming Levy Officially Rejected by Government: "We Support a Mixed Ecology" 2025 Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival Opening Lineup Announced 'The Residence' and 'Pulse' Canceled at Netflix 'I haven't thought about this in awhile. Another thing I was excited about that I auditioned for once was GLOW. Do you remember that? The female wrestling,' James said. 'I really wanted that role.' She continued, 'It was for one of the female wrestlers, and we had to make up an '80s rap and perform it in the audition, and also do a fight scene with ourselves. I did this rap and then I did a round kick. And I remember leaving that audition like, 'Nailed it.' And did not get that role.' Thus far James said she hasn't 'watched one second of that show.' 'I'm so salty,' she added before offering that perhaps she would watch it that day after the interview. In 2020, Netflix reversed its fourth-season renewal decision on GLOW, citing COVID-19 issues as the reason they would not go forward with the series' final installment. GLOW had started production on season four at the time. It completed one episode and started a second before the coronavirus pandemic led to production shutdowns for it and other series and films. The series earned 18 Emmy nominations and three wins over the course of its three-season run. The show, created by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, was a fictionalized telling of the real-life women's professional wrestling program called Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling that launched in the 1980s.
