Emotional Tributes and Box Office Battles

The past week has been an emotional rollercoaster for the entertainment industry. The Berlinale film festival came to a close with an emotional speech from Tricia Tuttle, acknowledging the challenges faced by the industry and the world at large. Meanwhile, Hollywood is mourning the loss of Eric Dane, who passed away at the age of 53 after a battle with ALS.

Chyler Leigh, Dane's on-screen love interest on Grey's Anatomy, remembered him as having a "heart of gold." In a statement shared with E! News, Leigh said she would carry Dane "within my heart forever." The news of his passing sent shockwaves through the industry, with many taking to social media to pay their respects.

On a lighter note, the box office is heating up with new releases vying for the top spot. GOAT and Wuthering Heights are in a close battle for number one, with Wuthering Heights predicted to take the top spot globally. The film, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, has done better than expected overseas, launching to $45.5 million from over 75 markets.

In a separate development, Bill Maher responded to Donald Trump's recent rant on Truth Social. On his show Real Time, Maher joked that he knows "how women feel now" after a guy buys them dinner and expects them to "put out." The comedian was referring to Trump's comment that their March 2025 dinner was a "total waste of time."
