Natalie Portman Sparks Buzz Over Rachel Cusk’s Life of M

Variety reports that Natalie Portman is at the center of talk around Rachel Cusk’s Life of M, a novel about an unnamed actress told through a restricted-access narrator. While there is no public confirmation of Portman’s involvement, the piece notes parallels between the fictional M and Portman’s life, including fame, motherhood, and media scrutiny. The article argues the novel succeeds as literary fiction—focusing on interior life rather than plot—regardless of celebrity gossip.

Texas Embraced Taylor Sheridan, Hollywood Didn't, Thornton Says

Billy Bob Thornton says Hollywood wasn’t nice to Taylor Sheridan, but Texas welcomed him.

Thornton credits Sheridan’s authenticity and says the Texas environment fuels his storytelling, contrasting his LA experience with the real-life world Sheridan now draws on for his writing.

David Krumholtz, known for Oppenheimer, says he’s taking an indefinite break from acting after 30+ years, voicing frustration with how actors are treated, fears of going broke, pressure to self‑promote on social media, and a shifting, more corporatized Hollywood; he’d return only for the right project, and residuals from earlier hits like The Santa Clause have dwindled.
