The Motion Picture Industry Pension & Health Plans — which provides benefits to a significant number of union members in the entertainment business — is offering health insurance eligibility assistance amid a double strike that has made qualifying challenging for many workers in the business. Certain industry workers will be granted additional qualifying hours so that they can remain eligible for health insurance during the work stoppages, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. Typically union members who are already participants of the Plan must work at least 400 hours in a six-month period to maintain their benefits. With two strikes having essentially shut down scripted union production in the U.S. since May, this criteria has become increasingly difficult for many to meet. Per the changes, workers will receive up to 201 credited hours to qualify for health insurance, depending on the qualifying period that applies to them. To qualify, workers must be enrolled in the Plan prior to their benefit period and pay health premiums. “MPIHP is in the process of identifying eligible Participants and implementing the credit/grant of hours,” IATSE Local 600 wrote in an email announcing the changes to members. “Participants who are eligible will receive a letter informing

For fans of Good Omens looking for a sign from above about the future of the show, benevolent writer and showrunner Neil Gaiman has answers. The ending of the second season, which premiered on Amazon Prime on July 28, is the mother of all emotional cliffhangers, leaving viewers clamoring for information about a possible third season. No third season has been confirmed by Amazon, but Neil Gaiman has been answering fans’ questions prolifically on his personal Tumblr. So, will we get a third season? The short answer is, it’s too soon to tell. But the long answer is far more complicated… and more hopeful. It has long been rumored that Neil Gaiman and the late, great Terry Pratchett had made plans for a sequel to the Good Omens novel, but now we know (via The RadioTimes) that Season 2 of the TV series is just a bridge to that planned follow-up. Gaiman has been working to turn his and Pratchett’s ideas into a three-season story, and for any viewers left heartbroken by the finale, the best may be yet to come. The timeline of a third season will likely be heavily affected by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike. The studios’ refusal

Gasoline prices in Georgia, and in Cobb County, continued to rise over the past week, according to the weekly report from AAA. AAA attributes the jump in prices to the increase in the price of crude oil, plus adjustments in production processes refineries have to make due to the extreme heat.  The average price for regular unleaded gasoline in the state is now $3.56 per gallon. This is 19 cents higher than last week, 33 cents higher than last month, and 23 cents lower than the same time last year. It costs an average of $53.25 to fill a 15-gallon tank, which is $4.00 less than a year ago. “The steady increase of crude oil prices and refineries having to adjust production because of soaring temperatures causes pump prices to elevate,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “The cost of oil accounts for more than 50% of what we pay at the pumps, Georgians may not catch a break regarding gas prices any time soon if crude oil continues to rise.”  Gasoline prices in Cobb County The price of a gallon of regular unleaded in Cobb County is $3.595,  roughly four cents more than  the statewide average.
