Christina Haack's ex-husband Ant Anstead filed for full custody of their son
Ant Anstead filed for full custody of Christina Haack and their 2-year old son Hudson London Anstead. Anstead claims Haack put Hudson in dangerous circumstances and put his life at risk. Ant Anstead stated in court documents that Haack put Hudson at risk and harassed his nanny.
Anstead and Haack split after the June divorce was finalized. Anstead claimed that Hudson was his primary child and that Haack spent only nine days with Hudson per month over the past 20 months. Anstead also raised concerns about Haack's parenting, claiming that Hudson was sunburned when he was younger and had COVID-19. Haack filed a response to Anstead's filing, asserting that the allegations were not true.
Marlon Wayans defends Dave Chappelle
Marlon Wayans is defending Dave Chappelle, after a recent Netflix special ruffled some feathers. His jokes about transgender women made him an Emmy-winning comedian. His special received a lot of criticism, both from critics and fans. E! interviewed Wayans. Wayans talked with E!
Netflix's new standup special "The Closer", has drawn protests from transgender individuals after Wayans made remarks about them. Wayans, however, has defended Wayans, saying that Chappelle is defending J.K. Rowling (who has also publicly attacked transgender persons, saying that they threaten gender identification). While Wayans may have a point, he is wrong about transgender persons.
FAQ
Why don't more filmmakers use crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo?
Crowdfunding websites are great because you can reach potential investors directly.
However, most filmmakers do not believe they are qualified to request money. They feel they need someone else who can vouch for them.
Since they haven’t proved themselves yet, they don’t think anyone should make an investment in them.
Instead, they spend long hours working on their project, in hopes of someone noticing.
Then they realize that they didn't properly prepare for the launch of their campaign.
Instead of receiving thousands of dollars, they receive a few donations.
Is Hollywood making more from international sales than domestic?
Yes, but only a little. Around 17% of total revenue came from foreign sources in 2017. Domestic revenues accounted to 83%.
In fact, overseas markets account for over half of the world's population.
This means many people who might never watch a movie at home will still want to see yours.
Is the Hollywood Walk of Fame free?
Yes! Yes! For photographers, you need a permit. They cost $15 per head.
Make sure you have valid identification in case you want to visit Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The walkway can only be entered after 10 AM.
You cannot leave the walkway once you are inside without paying again.
There are no cameras allowed inside the walkway.
What percentage of box office profits goes to marketing?
Marketing budgets often account for 20%-40% of the film's budget. This is because marketing is critical to the success and longevity of any film.
Without marketing, nobody will know anything about your film. Without knowing about your film, no one wants to pay to see it.

It is called Hollywood.
D.W. Griffith founded the first film industry in California in 1887. It was named after Los Angeles, at the time known as Hollywood.
Because it was so exciting to visit, the name stuck. It was a place that people would travel from all walks of the globe to experience.
Hollywood is still a part of our culture today. Movies, television shows and music videos are all part of our culture. All of them are called "Hollywood."
