A flattering profile of tech grifter Elizabeth Holmes in the New York Times. The messy exit of Jeff Shell from NBCUniversal. And a standoff with Variety over a story about a supposedly globetrotting Jeff Zucker purportedly hell-bent on buying CNN.
Hollywood and media was buzzing about all those stories and the person they all have in common is crisis public relations expert Risa Heller, who represented the principal in all of them.
That’s all the more impressive for someone who lives on the opposite side of the country. But with her rising West Coast profile, Heller, CEO of an eponymous New York-based crisis communications firm, has tongues wagging about what appears to be a growing role in the Hollywood crisis P.R. machine.
Heller’s name has been front and center all year in the entertainment industry. That came into particular focus last month when she stepped up to...

Jack Antonoff’s mission to transform Taylor Swift into Bleachers is almost complete. The singer’s close collaborator joined her on a newly recorded arrangement of Midnights single “Anti-Hero,” this time bringing his band into the fold for a conversational, dual perspective rendition that channels the production style Antonoff usually saves for his own recording sessions.
“Jack’s version of ‘sexy baby’ is ‘art bro’ and we sincerely hope it confuses just as many people,” Swift wrote on Twitter, announcing the remix that was initially available only to purchase on...

Jack Antonoff reunited with his Bleachers bandmates at Electric Lady Studios, where they recorded their upcoming album Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night, to perform a few songs from the record for NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series.

Antonoff ended up having to ditch his signature glasses after the first song, but...

“Temptation Island” is back with a new trailer to prove that time has not dulled the drama of this exercise in heteronormativity.
USA’s reboot of the once-controversial reality dating series will drop four new couples into a resort full of attractive singles, where they will go on dates with other people before deciding “whether to commit to a lifetime together – or ultimately give in to the temptation.”

“Temptation Island” will, shockingly, probably not go well for at least a few of these couples, judging by the amount of crying and hot tub canoodling going on in the trailer. At one point in the clip, one of the distraught temptees wonders aloud, “How is this happening?” as though this isn’t exactly what she signed up for.
But hey, if anybody can make it work, it’s probably Javen and Shari,...

“I am a Tariff Man” President Donald Trump tweeted this morning, triggering social media backspray.
Trump made the news tweeting about talks with China he says already have started and will end “90 days from the date of our wonderful and very warm dinner with President Xi in Argentina.
Bob Lighthizer will be working closely with Steve Mnuchin, Larry Kudlow, Wilbur Ross and Peter Navarro…on seeing whether or not a Real deal with China is actually possible. If it is, we will get it done,” Trump tweeted.
(Trump’s chief economic adviser Kudlow may need to get up to speed, having informed press the 90-day trade war truce with China would begin January 1, forcing the White House to correct that about an hour later, informing them, and him, it started December 1.)
“China is supposed to start buying Agricultural product and more immediately. President Xi and I want this deal to happen,...
