Demi Moore, Miley Cyrus and Timothée Chalamet to receive stars on Hollywood Walk of Fame

Demi Moore, Miley Cyrus and Timothée Chalamet to receive stars on Hollywood Walk of Fame

Chicago Tribune2 days ago
LOS ANGELES — They can buy themselves … stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?
Miley Cyrus, Timothée Chalamet and Demi Moore were among the 35 honorees announced Wednesday by Eugenio Derbez and Richard Blade.
Inductees were selected across five categories: motion pictures, television, live theater and live performance, recording and sports entertainment. There were no radio honorees. Others who made the class of 2026 include actors Emily Blunt, Rachel McAdams, Molly Ringwald, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Rami Malek and Noah Wyle; former NBA star turned sports analyst Shaquille O'Neal; and 'Good Morning America' co-anchors Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos, who will have a double ceremony. Italian special effects artist Carlo Rambaldi and director Tony Scott will be posthumously honored.
Cyrus, who released her ninth studio album, 'Something Beautiful,' in May, rolled around the Walk of Fame for the music video for her aptly titled single 'Walk of Fame,' later revealing on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' that she developed an infection on her kneecap from the bacteria on the famed Hollywood Boulevard sidewalk. Still, the singer shared some of the footage on Instagram shortly after her star was announced.
'When I first came to LA from Nashville as a little girl, my family would stay at a hotel on Hollywood Blvd, and I would go on late night walks with my dad when no one would recognize him. We'd have the gift shops to ourselves & buy knock off Oscars and Marilyn Monroe merchandise,' she wrote. 'To now be cemented on this legendary boulevard, surrounded by the icons who inspired me, feels like a dream.'
Her father, singer Billy Ray Cyrus, doesn't yet have a star on the Walk of Fame.
Meanwhile, Chalamet is coming off the success of the Bob Dylan biopic 'A Complete Unknown.' He earned an Oscar nomination for his role as the legendary singer-songwriter. He's set to begin filming the third installment of the 'Dune' film franchise, titled 'Dune: Messiah,' this summer, according to Deadline.
Moore, who rose to prominence with the 1985 film 'St. Elmo's Fire,' earned her first Oscar nomination this year for her role in 'The Substance,' in which she starred opposite Margaret Qualley. She and Ringwald will be the latest of the Brat Pack to join the Walk of Fame, following Rob Lowe in 2015. It's also a family affair for Blunt and brother-in-law Stanley Tucci, who appeared in 'The Devil Wears Prada' together and are set to return for the sequel.
Once selected, honorees are expected to cover an $85,000 sponsorship fee to pay for the creation and installation of the star, as well as maintenance of the Walk of Fame. Recipients have up to two years to schedule their ceremonies before the offer expires.

15 'Jurassic World Rebirth' callbacks to 'Jurassic Park'

Warning: This article contains spoilers about . Jurassic World Rebirth screenwriter David Koepp may have actively worked to not feature so many callouts in the film to previous installments of the franchise, but director Gareth Edwards? Not so much. "It's funny, you spend your life as a filmmaker trying not to copy your heroes, and it just keeps happening," Edwards tells Entertainment Weekly. Rebirth, the seventh Jurassic movie (in theaters now), is littered with Easter eggs and visual callbacks to past entries — some more overt than others. There are also references to past works of Steven Spielberg; Edwards points out a Back to the Future magazine is sitting in the gas station where the Delgados are hunted by Mutadons. "At one point we got told to dial them down, to be honest," he recalls. "Frank Marshall [producer], David Koepp, Steven Spielberg, they've all been involved in a lot of those films that we're referencing. They would be the three that would be like, 'Stop being so referential. This is your movie, go do your own thing.' But you're probably the three people in the world that can't fully appreciate how amazing all these other films are because you made them. As someone who's a fan of those films, I get a kick out of this." Here are 15 of those Jurassic Park-specific callbacks that can be seen in Jurassic World Rebirth. When we first meet Rupert Friend's Martin Krebs, the Big Pharma representative looking to hire "situational security" expert Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson) to assemble a team and retrieve dinosaur DNA, the camera zooms in for a close-up of his reflection in his car's side mirror. It reads "objects in mirror are closer than they appear." A famous scene from 1993's Jurassic Park features a similar side-mirror close-up as Laura Dern's Ellie Sattler, Jeff Goldblum's Ian Malcolm, and Bob Peck's Robert Muldoon flee from a stampeding T. rex in their Jeep. Edwards reveals he originally shot a scene featuring the side-mirror bit for the end of the film when Martin is driving away from the Mutadons in a Jeep. "It got cut out," the director says, but notes, "It's on the DVD extras, a very short moment." "I was like, 'I'm not gonna get that gag in, am I?'" he recalls. "So then when we went to New York, it was the last thing we filmed in the whole movie, as we scouted, I just said to the person who provides the vehicles, 'Is there any way you could just get the "objects appear closer" on the wing mirror?'" Jonathan Bailey's introduction as paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis comes when Zora and Martin find him in the nearby museum. A black banner with red and white lettering descends behind a dinosaur skeleton exhibit. One of the most famous scenes from Jurassic Park is a shot from the ending of a T. rex roaring in the destroyed theme park lobby as a banner with the same color scheme and typography falls to the ground. Traversing through the dino-infested jungles of Ile Saint-Hubert, Henry mentions that he studied under Dr. Alan Grant, the character Sam Neill played across three movies in the Jurassic franchise, starting with the flagship film. Edwards shares with EW how the team added subtle Easter eggs to Bailey's Henry to enhance this connection. "I designed a little patch that went on his bag that was the Snakewater canyon," he says, referring to the fossil dig site from the opening of Jurassic Park. "It was as if it was a national park badge of that dig site, as if [Henry] had worked there as a kid." Costume designer Sammy Sheldon Differ then noticed a triangular piece of metal on Alan's belt in that first movie. "It's a digging sort of spade," Edwards says. "You just open it and it's for scratching away at the dirt and stuff. We had that on Jonathan's belt. We liked the idea that Alan Grant had given it to him as a gift when he retired, or whatever the canon would be." Koepp pulled a line of dialogue from Michael Crichton's books and gave it to Bailey's Henry. "Which is, 'You used technology to bring back something from 65 million years ago, but it's a different planet,'" Koepp paraphrases. "The oxygen levels are different, solar radiation is different, the temperatures are different, everything is different about it. What makes you think that it's all going to go fine?" Xavier Dobbs (David Iacono), Teresa Delgado's (Luna Blaise) stoner boyfriend, wanders off to take a leak. With his back turned, a raptor strikes a familiar and terrifying pose (one featured many times through the Jurassic films) as it prepares to pounce on him. The scene takes a turn when a Mutadon (a mutant raptor-pterosaur hybrid) snatches the raptor before it can carry out the deed. Zora's team walks into an open field of tall grass where they stumble upon two Titanosaurs mid mating ritual. They all gaze up in wonder and awe, trigging John Williams' classic Jurassic Park theme music. It's a very similar scene to the first film, with the same music, when Neill's Alan and Dern's Ellie stare gobsmacked at the sight of a living brachiosaurus eating leaves from the top of a tree. The Delgado family takes a rest in the jungle. Teresa and her little sister Isabella (Audrina Miranda) take a snooze as they rest their heads against their dad, Reuben (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), who's sitting on the ground, resting his back against a thick tree root. Alan has a similar moment with Tim (Joseph Mazzello) and Lex (Ariana Richards) in Jurassic Park. The trio takes a snooze just before a veggie-eating dinosaur comes looking for snacks in their tree. A scene from Crichton's first novel involving a raft and a swimming T. rex was cut from Spielberg's Jurassic Park, but Koepp, who also co-wrote that film with the author, revisited the material for Jurassic World Rebirth. In the book, it's Alan and the two kids traveling downriver en route to the visitor center when they encounter the gargantuan predator. In the new film, it's the Delgado family attempting to flee a T. rex. After extracting DNA from the egg of a baby Quetzalcoatlus, Henry drops the syringe, which teeters on the edge of the mountain side. To get it, the paleontologist, dangling from Zora's rope, attempts multiple times to swing himself along the rocks to grab it. The sequence visually calls back to Alan's desperate moment in Jurassic Park where he attempts to swing himself out of harm's way on a rope before an attacking T. rex can push a Jeep on top of them. There are multiple moments in 1997's The Lost World: Jurassic Park involving the combination of a gas station and a dinosaur: on Isla Sorna when Goldblum's Ian & Co. encounter raptors, and later in the film, when a T. rex pokes its head at a station in San Diego. In Jurassic World Rebirth, it's a group of Mutadons that terrorize the Delgados and Zora's remaining team at an abandoned gas station on Ile Saint-Hubert. Edwards actually takes credit for the gas station scene, which was a different location in the original script. "My first movie at film school, my graduation film, was set in a gas station with creatures," he explains. "I loved American movies, and in England, nothing feels like America at all apart from a gas station.... Then my first movie, Monsters, this low-budget film set in Central America, the third act is at a gas station. Then I started getting paranoid. 'Do I just not have any other ideas?'" Fleeing the Mutadons, the Delgados take refuge in the convenience store attached to the gas station. Isabella and her dino pal, Dolores, hide in the freezer, causing a Mutadon to get confused by seeing its own reflection in the glass. The creature then stalks the family as they hide among the aisles. Tim and Lex were similarly hunted by raptors in the kitchen of the theme park's managerial offices on Isla Nublar during the events of Jurassic Park. A Mutadon is also a hybrid of a raptor and a pterosaur, further emphasizing the similarities between the two films. "I wanted a moment like that in our film," Edwards says. "I was trying to find an excuse, and I was wondering what it could be. I ended up doing the gas station. You feel like you're going to have to refuel these cars. Once you get in there, you're trying to think of any gags you can. I liked this idea of reflections. At one point, I wanted it to be flooded, and then I started going, 'This is a bit too straightforward.' Then the production designer and the art department built all that refrigerator stuff. When I looked at the set, I thought, 'Well, that's a great hiding place.'" To help the others get away from the Distortus rex, Mahershala Ali's Duncan Kincaid waves a red flare at the monster as a distraction. The D. rex attacks and for a moment, it's presumed Duncan didn't survive, but he's later recovered floating in the river. This might as well be his Jeff Goldblum moment. As Ian in Jurassic Park, the actor waves a red flare at the T. rex in a misguided attempt to help the others escape. The dinosaur leaves him gravely injured, but Dern's Ellie later finds him alive among the wreckage. Koepp points to another moment from Crichton's books that made its way into the script for Jurassic World Rebirth. He cites The Lost World, where a Jeep careens down a mountain as raptors attack. "I use bits of that," he says. "There's a Jeep careening down a mountain [in Rebirth] and menaced by, at first, a Mutadon." That would be Martin's vehicle, though his escape plan backfires when he finds himself in the clutches of the D. rex. A big Easter egg that calls back to Jurassic Park has been staring us down the entire time. Isabella Delgado sports a T-shirt that features a pelican. "It's the same breed at the end of Jurassic Park," Edwards confirms to EW, referring to the flying pelican scene at the very end of that movie. "And in Spanish it says, 'Life finds a way,' but it's an old T-shirt, so you don't really notice, hopefully." Speaking of are the new pelicans. The end of Jurassic World Rebirth ends in a similar manner as the first film, only instead of the survivors gazing out peacefully from their helicopter at a flock of pelicans, they are looking at a pod of jumping dolphins from their the original article on Entertainment Weekly

One-of-a-kind brewery, taprooms closing, no bankruptcy

If you watch "Bar Rescue," the Paramount Network show hosted by veteran bar operator John Taffer, you learn a few things very quickly. First, a lot of people open bars who have no business opening bars. Maybe they always dreamed of operating a bar, or just really like drinking in bars. But most of them never appear to have read a book on bar operation, Googled "how to run a bar," or even watched a few episodes of "Bar Rescue." Related: Starbucks unveils huge store updates amid turnaround plan What Taffer also teaches is that the more specialized you make your bar, the more you limit your clientele. In a crowded market, it might make sense to offer a market-appropriate concept that doesn't yet exist but that serves the market well. In most cases, however, a specific concept can limit your business. A full-on sports bar, for example, suffers on the nights and weekends when there's not major sports to watch. One of the most famous "Bar Rescue" episodes featured Taffer visiting a Pirate Bar. They dressed as pirates, served grog, and had the full over-the-top theme, despite being in a business district. The only people who enjoyed the bar worked there, and it was the wrong concept for probably anywhere, but certainly for where it was. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Taffer gave the place a makeover, and it seemed poised for success. The owners, however, seemed more into having their own fun than running a successful business, and they turned it back into a pirate bar soon after. That's often the case with heavily themed bars on "Bar Rescue," but not with one popular group of taprooms and an associated brewery. TRVE was the rare bar that had a specialized concept, but was also incredibly welcoming. The company was built around the owner's love for beer and heavy metal, but not at the expense of alienating non-metal fans. The Denver location, for example, hosted a weekly game night. "Every Tuesday we're stoked to host anyone who wants to roll dice, sling spells, allocate resources, or get a crescent wrench out of an incredibly sensitive (and apparently non-anaesthetized) patient. Call your pals, bring your games, and treat yourself to some hot chicken and cold beer," the taproom and brewery chain shared on its website. Owner and founder Nick Nunns shared his mission when he opened in an Instagram post. More bankruptcy: Iconic auto repair chain franchise files Chapter 11 bankruptcyPopular beer brand closes down and files Chapter 7 bankruptcyPopular vodka and gin brand files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy "In 2011, with a mediocre business plan, no professional brewing experience, and way less money than I needed, I opened TRVE with no grander machinations than making some good beer and listening to the music I liked," he wrote. The Asheville location of TRVE also hosted a game night, and both locations had a busy calendar that was not just heavy metal-driven. Nunns shared the surprising decision to shut down in the same July 4 Instagram post. "It is with a heavy heart that I'm announcing that this is the end for the TRVE taprooms. It hasn't been an easy choice, but this brewery has run its course, and for a huge number of reasons, it's the right time to send this thing off into the lake trailed by a fiery arrow," he wrote. Nunns made sure to thank the many people who helped on his nearly 15-year journey. "I cannot have done any of this alone; my sincerest and deepest thanks to everyone who made their indelible marks on TRVE. From the maniacs in the brewery to the masochists behind the bar, you were all such an immense part of why this place was what it was. I always wanted so much more for you all," he added. The founder and owner also saluted his regulars. "Equal thanks go out to all the patrons who called this place home. Heavy Metal Cheers it certainly was. Y'all kept the lights on, hell or high water," he added. The company's taprooms will close July 12, but the fate of its beer-making operation, which operates out of New Image Brewing, remains unclear. The news, however, does not appear to be good. "I constantly say that our beer got good when I stopped making it. So much of our notoriety is largely thanks to Zach, who truly made our beer program what it is today. I am so sad that we are having to do this when the beer coming out of Asheville is some of the best you've made in your career. I hope your continued quest for perfection in your art never ends," Nunns added. Fans of TRVE were devastated by the news. "There would be no Blood Of Gods without the spirit and inspiration of TRVE to lead the way. The joy in celebrating craft and creativity reverberates through eternity," wrote BloodofGodZine, a magazine TRVE supported. Related: Popular restaurant chain closes all locations, no bankruptcy InnovationBeer gave the TRVE brand a proper send-off. "I remember visiting the Denver location with my teenage sister and 70-something dad, cool it was for me to watch both ends of the age & otherwise spectrum enjoy the environment there. How I love(d) your beer and your bartenders so much," it posted. The Arena Media Brands, LLC THESTREET is a registered trademark of TheStreet, Inc.

LeBron James comments on being at Cavaliers' practice facility

NEW: @KingJames at #Cavs Practice Facility Today with Cavs Summer League Rookie @Denver_Jones2 #LeBronJames #NBA #LetEmKnow LeBron James is infamous for being passive-aggressive and giving out subtle signals about what may lie next for him in his basketball career. The basketball world has been abuzz about the possibility of him asking the Los Angeles Lakers to trade him after his agent, Rich Paul, made some cryptic comments on Sunday. He was seen at the Cleveland Cavaliers' practice facility as they get ready for summer league play. James, of course, played for the Cavs during the first seven seasons of his NBA career and again from 2014 to 2018. That appearance surely had people wondering if he is going to force a trade back to the Cavs. But the superstar took to X (formerly Twitter) to claim that he's simply back on his home turf in Akron, Ohio, which is just minutes away from Cleveland, and that it's something he routinely does during the offseason. And every summer since it was built. I live here still and train every summer. Got damn yall bored man! Go get a plate of food somewhere and enjoy the 4th of July! For multiple reasons, it would be very hard for the Lakers to work out a trade involving James if he does indeed want out. They would have to receive adequate compensation, and James would have to feel that his destination team would have enough talent remaining in order to immediately contend for the NBA championship. He has a very rare no-trade clause in his contract, and he's entering the final year of that contract. Bobby Marks of ESPN said this week that there is no trade market for the 40-year-old.
