Garth Brooks has postponed his upcoming stadium show at Cincinnati’s Paul Brown Stadium, which was planned for June 27. While there is no new date to reschedule the concert at this time, Garth did assure fans that originally purchased tickets will be honored at the new date. It’s the second time the Cincinnati show has been rescheduled; the show was originally planned for May 16. However, stay-at-home regulations caused by the pandemic continue to make gatherings unsafe.

Garth set an all-time record for ticket sales for the city of Cincinnati, selling out the stadium’s 70,000 seats in just 75 minutes. It is the only stop planned for Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia on Garth’s Stadium Tour.

“Riverdale” actress Vanessa Morgan announced she’s “not being quiet anymore” when it comes to the portrayal of black people in media. Morgan tweeted:  “Tired of how black people are portrayed in Media. Tired of us being portrayed as thugs, dangerous or angry scary people. Tired of us also being used as side kick non dimensional characters to our white leads. Or only used in the ads for diversity but not actually in the show. It starts with the media.” 

Morgan also stated that she gets paid less than her white co-stars and that she is “used as the token biracial bisexual.” Morgan asked fans not to “attack” her fellow castmates, as they “don’t call the shots,” her co-star Lili Reinhart responded with, “We love you, V. And support you 10000%.”

Morgan, who plays Toni Topaz, joined “Riverdale” as a reoccurring character in the show’s second season and was promoted to a series regular in season 3. She is currently the only black series regular, since Ashleigh Murray left the show after the third season.

Former “Glee” star Lea Michele has apologized for being “unnecessarily difficult” on the set of her show, after a co-star accused Michele of making her time there “a living hell.”  Michele issued a statement saying that while she didn’t recall any incident or judged anyone by their background, she was sorry and blamed her privilege and “immaturity.”

Michele said: “I clearly acted in ways which hurt other people. Whether it was my privileged position and perspective that caused me to be perceived as insensitive or inappropriate at times or whether it was just my immaturity and me just being unnecessarily difficult, I apologize for my behavior and for any pain which I have caused.”

The apology came two days after former co-star Samantha Marie Ware accused Michele of “traumatic microaggressions that made me question a career in Hollywood.” Michele is white and Ware is black. After Ware’s allegation, the meal kit company HelloFresh announced that it would sever its partnership with Michele, saying “We are disheartened and disappointed to learn of the recent claims concerning Lea Michele.”

Hollywood is making moves towards getting back to work, with the entertainment industry’s guilds and unions signing off on a 22-page guideline document designed to establish safety protocols for producing movies and TV.

The agreement (which can be viewed here) comes after negotiations among actors, directors and crews, and will include extensive testing, temperature checks, cleaning measures and physical distancing when possible. The parties also acknowledge that revisions might be necessary going forward. Actors and other performers, the report notes, are “most vulnerable because they cannot wear PPE [personal protective equipment] when cameras are rolling, and frequently will not be able to engage in physical distancing.” That will require greater testing frequency for them and those with whom they are in close contact.

Certain activities, such as writing and casting, are still encouraged to be conducted virtually whenever possible.  Other parts of production, such as live studio audiences, are also being discouraged. 

The plan was produced by the Industry-Wide Labor Management Safety Committee Task Force, which was formed specifically for that purpose, with input from epidemiologists and sanitation experts. The guidelines have been submitted to public-health officials in New York and California.

There has been a major update in the real-life drama related to the hit Netflix documentary Tiger King —Carole Baskin has won control of Joe Exotic’s former zoo.

A federal judge ruled that Baskin’s Big Cat Rescue Corp will take over the 16,439-acre Oklahoma property that was heavily featured in the Netflix series. The current owners have 120 days to vacate Greater Wynnewood Development Group, a.k.a. Tiger King Park. They also have to remove all zoo animals from the land, but ownership of several trucks based on the property will now go to Big Cat Rescue as part of the deal.

The court ruled that the property’s owner, Exotic’s mother Shirley M. Schreibvogel, fraudulently transferred the park in an attempt to shield it from a $1 million settlement owed to Big Cat Rescue Corp. In January, Exotic was sentenced to 22 years in prison for a murder-for-hire plot to kill Baskin, as detailed in the Netflix series which became a national sensation in March.
