TNT Sports stepping away from NBA TV
June 27 - TNT Sports will relinquish oversight of NBA TV operations, it was announced today by TNT Sports Chair and CEO Luis Silberwasser. After a 17-year run with TNT Sports, day-to-day operations will revert to the league on Oct. 1. "We made several proposals to continue to provide services and operate the NBA TV network and related digital assets," Silberwasser wrote in a memo to employees of the Warner Bros. Discovery cable unit, as reported by Sportico. "However, we were unable to agree on a path forward that recognized the value of our expertise, quality content and operational excellence that our fans and partners have come to expect from TNT Sports." In July 2024, the league announced a new 11-year agreement with the Walt Disney Company, NBCUniversal and Amazon Prime Video to broadcast approximately 75 games on linear television in addition to all national games being available on streaming services. TNT's agreement called for a minimum of 15 games on broadcast television. TNT will continue to generate digital content for the league through Bleacher Report and House of Highlights and maintain editorial control of the Inside the NBA studio show. The highly popular program that features Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, Shaquille O'Neal and Ernie Johnson will air on ESPN and ABC. --Field Level Media

Why didn't Caitlin Clark play? When Indiana Fever star may return
Here was Stephanie White with the latest on Clark, before last night's game vs Sparks: day-to-day Caitlin Clark missed her sixth game of the season on Thursday night in an eventual 85-75 Indiana Fever loss against the Los Angeles Sparks. Clark has been ruled out of Friday night's contest at the Dallas Wings as well. It will be Clark's seventh game missed this season via injury. Why didn't Clark play against the Sparks and why won't she play against the Wings? The 6-foot guard is sidelined with a groin injury. Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White commented on the potential timeline for Clark to return. "Just day-to-day. It depends on a lot of her rehab and therapy and strength training and how that goes. Right now, it's just day-to-day," White said. White said after Thursday's loss that the compacted schedule would factor into whether or not Clark would be available. "Certainly, in my mind, it is," White said of the tight schedule. "At the same time, she has shown she's tough, and a quick healer, so we'll see." Obviously, now fans know that they won't see Clark back out on the court until Tuesday night at the earliest. The Fever take on the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday, July 1 in the Commissioner's Cup Championship at 7 p.m. CT on Amazon Prime Video presented by Coinbase. After that, Indiana (7-8) hosts the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday, July 3 at 6 p.m. CT on Amazon Prime Video. Clark previously missed five games earlier this season with a left quadriceps strain. The Fever went 2-3 minus Clark in their games between May 28 and June 10. Following that initial injury absence, Clark returned and erupted for 32 points on 11-of-20 shooting, including a career-high seven made 3-pointers in a 102-88 win over the New York Liberty. Clark played in five games after her initial injury absence, averaging 17.8 points per game. But, Clark was in the midst of a three-game shooting slump when she suffered this latest groin injury. The former Iowa superstar made just 1-of-23 3-point attempts in her most recent three games played. On the season, Clark is averaging 18.2 points, 8.9 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game on 39.0% shooting and 29.5% 3-point shooting in nine games played.

'Divisive' comedy thriller with shocking ending available to stream for free
Movie fans now have the chance to watch one of 2023's most controversial films, now that it's landed on BBC iPlayer. Dark comedy Saltburn, starring Barry Keoghan and Jacob Elordi, caused quite the stir when it dropped on Amazon Prime Video towards the end of 2023. Saltburn follows the story of Oxford student Oliver Quick (Keoghan), who finds himself romantically drawn to the aristocratic Felix Catton (Elordi) and his titular country estate. However, upon arriving at Saltburn, Felix and his family aren't quite what they seem, leading Oliver into a world of depravity, decadence, and even murder. The film quickly gained a reputation for its severe sexual content and nudity, as well as its frequent depiction of violence and gore, drug use, and frightening scenes. A moment towards the end of the film that used Sophie Ellis Bextor's Murder On the Dancefloor also sent that song back into the charts more than 20 years after its release. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video It was celebrated by some critics who called it 'incisive and invigorating' but was slammed by other film fans who described it as 'astoundingly misjudged'. Still, regardless of how people might have felt about the Emerald Fennell-directed film in 2023 and 2024, almost all agreed that it was certainly a memorable experience. An IMDb summary said: 'Saltburn was one of the most talked about films in the award season in 2024. The film was perhaps the most divisive of all, particularly due to the disturbing nature of the film.' And movie fans will now be able to stream Saltburn for free on BBC iPlayer right now. The film currently has a Rotten Tomatoes critical rating of 71% – new official reviews were still being added to the site almost a year after its release. Audiences who watched Saltburn reacted positively, with the fan rating currently stating that 79% of viewers would give the film a score of seven out of 10 or more. The audience consensus, generated by Rotten Tomatoes, warned: 'Saltburn is really intense and the cast does a terrific job, but if you're easily grossed out or offended, this probably isn't the movie for you.' For Metro, Tori Brazier said Saltburn had: 'Sex scenes dripping with bodily fluids, [and] a highly sexualised sequence in a cemetery that no film fan is likely to have anticipated – until it's already unfolding in front of their eyes. The film's director Emerald Fennell told Metro: 'If anyone should be asking any sort of questions about [my] sanity, for example, they should leave them maybe at my door. More Trending 'Everyone who worked on [Saltburn] was completely dedicated and completely understood the sort of film we were trying to make.' She continued: 'I wouldn't ever want to have an awkward conversation [with an actor]. I'd never ask anyone, actor or anything, to do something they weren't comfortable with. 'But when you're talking about desire, when you're talking about obsession, when you're talking about power and love, then you do have to go to places that are quite extreme.'

Meet actress whose last film came 6 years ago, yet manages to beat Deepika, Alia, charges Rs 30 crore per film, net worth is..., she is...
This actress began her journey like many others, but her path soon stood out. With each performance, she didn't just impress, she made people pause and take notice. While her charm and skill earned her a solid place in Bollywood, her presence wasn't limited to just one industry or country. Slowly, she stepped beyond borders, capturing attention worldwide with her grace, confidence, and unique choices. Today, she stands as a symbol of strength and global appeal, an actress who doesn't need constant headlines to prove her worth, because her work and aura speak louder than words ever could. One Of The Finest Actresses In Industry: Priyanka Chopra Here we are talking about actress Priyanka Chopra, who is best known for giving many iconic performances in different genres. The actress is all set to return after six years to the big screen on a giant level with Baahubali fame director SS Rajamouli's most anticipated project, 'SSMB 29.' As per reports from Bollywood Hungama, Priyanka requested Rs 30 crore for her role, setting a new record for Indian actresses. A source mentioned, 'It took some time to finalize her for the project because she was not willing to reduce her fee.' The source added, 'And why should she? If male actors can earn double-digit salaries, why can't women?' Priyanka Chopra Becomes Highest Paid Actress Interestingly, this is not the highest amount Priyanka has received for a project. She was reportedly paid $5 million (over Rs 41 crore) for her Amazon Prime Video series 'Citadel,' which was considered reasonable due to its six-hour length. However, the Rs 30 crore she is getting for the Mahesh Babu starrer makes her the highest-paid female actress in Indian cinema. Previously, Deepika Padukone held the title of highest-paid actress, earning Rs 20 crore for her role in 'Kalki 2898 AD.' Alia Bhatt, on the other hand, is said to charge around Rs 15 crore per film, while Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, and Samantha Ruth Prabhu earn Rs 10 crore or more per project. As per Money Control, Priyanka Chopra's net worth is around Rs 583 crores, while Nick Jonas' net worth is around Rs 666 crores. Apart from being an actress, she also has a production company, Purple Pebble Pictures, which made the Oscar-nominated film 'The White Tiger.' She has also developed a strong investment front, including stake in dating app Bumble, which she introduced to India.
