The entertainment industry is always buzzing with new releases, awards, and announcements. This week is no exception, with several updates that are sure to interest fans of film, TV, and literature.
First up, fans of the popular Crave-HBO Max series "Heated Rivalry" can now stay at the show's iconic cottage, located in Muskoka, Canada. The lakeside home, which was a central part of the show's heartfelt and swoon-worthy finale, is available to book on Airbnb starting March 3. The price? $248.10 per night, a nod to the hockey numbers of the show's two main characters.
In other news, Rachel Reid, the New York Times best-selling author of "Heated Rivalry," has announced that her next novel, "Unrivaled," has been pushed back to 2027. The book, which is part of Reid's Game Changers series, was originally set to be released in September 2026. Reid explained the delay in a video posted to Instagram, citing changes in her life over the past few months.
Meanwhile, Google is apologizing for a recent notification about the BAFTA Film Awards that included the N-word. The company confirmed that the message was not AI-generated and was received by a small subset of app users. Google has since apologized for the "offensive notification" and is taking steps to prevent similar incidents in the future.
On a more positive note, Gwyneth Paltrow will be honored at the New York Women in Film & Television's 46th annual Muse Awards on March 20. Paltrow joins a list of previously announced honorees, including Jamie Brewer, Patricia Cardoso, and Audra McDonald. The Muse Awards celebrate bold, multidimensional leadership in the entertainment industry, and Paltrow is being recognized for her own leadership and contributions.
Finally, Mara Brock Akil, the creator of popular TV shows like "Girlfriends" and "The Game," is set to publish her first novel, "The Revelation of Dionne Daphne," on June 30. The book will be released by Storehouse Voices, an imprint of Crown Publishing. Akil is known for her work in the entertainment industry, and her novel is highly anticipated by fans and critics alike.
Overall, it's been a busy week in the entertainment industry, with new releases, awards, and apologies making headlines. Whether you're a fan of film, TV, or literature, there's something for everyone in this latest roundup of news and updates.
