Following his Senate testimony, Michael Huppe talks with Billboard's On the Record podcast about radio's evolution — and why U.S. artists remain unpaid. Michael Huppe Elliott O'Donovan Trending on Billboard SoundExchange’s CEO, Michael Huppe, has been working towards getting artists paid on terrestrial AM/FM radio stations for the last decade, but he says the effort to get this royalty in the U.S. dates back “much longer,” he explains. “There’s a letter that was issued by Frank Sinatra — I don’t remember exactly when, but I think it was about 30 years ago — to Bruce Springsteen .” Related SoundExchange has collected royalties for artists on digital and satellite radio sources like SiriusXM and Pandora since its formation in the 1990s. However, for terrestrial radio, artists are not required to receive the same compensation — or any at all. Only songwriters do. While many of today’s biggest stars are both artists and songwriters, Huppe still believes this is an unfair practice that demeans the contribution of artists and the record labels footing the bill to take songs to radio in the first place: “We’re the only industrialized country where this is true.” Huppe points to the song “Respect”

This December, you will officially be stuck in a nightmare! Ridder Films, in association with Lucas A. Ferrara, has just released the seriously chilling time-loop horror film, Manor of Darkness ! The Desperate Plan and the Priceless Artifact The movie centers on Laura. She is a woman facing desperate circumstances as she struggles financially while caring for her terminally ill mother. Her desperation forces her to reluctantly reconnect with her estranged brother, Chris, for what they hope will be one last, extremely lucrative score. Of course, a “last score” in a horror movie never goes as planned. Their target? A remote, gothic English manor that is rumored to house an immensely valuable, priceless artifact. Posing as a documentary film crew, Laura, Chris, his girlfriend Lisa, and their cameraman Andy gain access to the manor under the guise of filming a historical feature. Once inside, they encounter the manor’s reclusive owner, Lucas, whose cryptic, unsettling stories hint at a devastating, tragic past. And a powerful, lingering supernatural force within the walls. The Trap: When Time Unravels The crew’s intrusion quickly turns deadly when they stumble upon a sealed chest deep in the basement. As they manage to force it open, something

Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos extended an olive branch to theater owners on Monday after rival David Ellison and his mega billionaire father, Larry Ellison, launched a $108.4 billion hostile bid that could derail the streamer’s $82.7 billion deal to buy Warner Bros., home of one of the few remaining iconic Hollywood movie studios. Speaking at an investor’s conference Monday in New York City, Sarandos made it clear that Warner Bros. will remain in the business of releasing movies theatrically (conversely, original films made for Netflix will stick to their gameplan). “We have not talked a lot about in the past about wanting to do theatrical, because we’ve never been in that business. When this deal closes, we be will in, and we’re going to do it,” said Sarandos, indicating that all of the studio’s box office this year, including A Minecraft Movie, Weapons and Sinners, wouldn’t have driven the same value without a proper release, with the implication being a robust marketing spend, something Netflix is loathe to do for its fare. “We didn’t buy this company to destroy that value,” he concluded. While Sarandos makes for an easy punching bag because of his long issue with theatrical windows, exhibition sources

As the spotlight shifted back to Netflix's global hit Stranger Things with its season finale, one of its lead stars, Noah Schnapp, once again found himself at the centre of controversy.

Executive Summary Pakistan is confronting a complex security environment shaped by multiple violent actors. While the Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) remains the most significant threat to national stability, the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) continues to destabilise the state’s southwestern regions. This report reviews recent incidents and highlights the overlooked convergence between these organisations. It argues that Pakistan’s counter-terrorism posture remains fragmented, failing to recognise the interconnected nature of these threats. Key Points The Baloch and Pashtun communities maintain longstanding cultural and tribal linkages. Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa constitute Pakistan’s principal zones of weak governance. The Baloch self-proclamation of independence in May 2025, combined with intensifying pressure in the northwest, may represent the gravest internal crisis in Pakistan’s history. Background Information Pakistan entered 2025 amid mounting internal pressures, struggling to maintain effective security governance. The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and the Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) have emerged as the two most disruptive actors, each exploiting structural weaknesses across the state. The current escalation began in March 2025 with the BLA attack on the Jaffar Express and has continued with recurring clashes along the Afghan border, where Islamabad accuses the Afghan Taliban of harbouring TTP operatives. The situation has deteriorated further with

Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman return for the sequel alongside a few new A-list additions, including Ke Huy Quan, Quinta Brunson and more. Published on December 7, 2025 'Zootopia 2' welcomes back to the big screen rookie cops Judy Hopps (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (voice of Jason Bateman). Disney The characters of Zootopia have finally returned to the big screen — with a few new star-studded additions to the call sheet.  The sequel arrives almost a decade after its predecessor snatched the Academy Award for best animated feature, introducing the bunny cop Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and scam artist fox Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) to viewers. And while both of those roles are reprised in Zootopia 2, this time Judy and Nick return as a duo working in the police force, while a few returning and new faces alike.  The Hollywood Reporter’s Frank Scheck pointed out the star-studded list of voice actors in his review, writing, “The sequel features so many animal characters and environments that multiple viewings will be necessary to take them all in. The gags fly fast and furious, making no concession to short attention spans, and as far as keeping up with all

To the average American, David Muir is the polished, unflappable, razor-sharp anchor of World News Tonight. But to the gays, the girlies, and those group chats circulating thirst edits like they’re insider stock tips, Muir isn’t just reading the headlines — he’s the iconic headline himself. On gay Twitter, TikTok, and Tumblr (yes, she lives!), Muir is lovingly, loudly, and frequently dubbed “Daddy.” And the best part? He knows. And he’s hilariously bashful about it. RELATED: David Muir Didn’t Ask To Be Called Daddy. The Algorithm Insisted In an interview with People , the anchor reacted to the flood of TikTok edits — dramatic slow-motion shots, sultry voiceovers, fan-made montages, and even a Tumblr shrine titled “Gimme Gimme Muir.” When someone asked him about the clips, he couldn’t help but laugh. Muir said friends often send him the videos because they’re cracking up. “When did you become Daddy?” they tease. He even joked that maybe hitting 50 automatically enrolls a man into daddyhood. But he insists he’s still uncomfortable even wearing a tux at events, saying he always worries he looks like a total nerd. Daddy energy but with humble, shy-librarian undertones? Gay Twitter never stood a chance. America’s Most-Watched
