#StrangerThings star David Harbour revealed how he lost nearly 80 pounds for the latest season of Netflix's hit sci-fi series. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Harbour says he worked with his trainer for eight months “to make the transformation, and then another year to keep it through the pandemic.”

“All told it was a difficult and exciting ride, changing diet and exercise plans (or lack thereof).” latimes.com/entertainment-…
He also added that #StrangerThings isn’t the only Hollywood project that will reap the benefits of a physical transformation. He gained weight again to portray Santa Claus for another title but added that weight fluctuations might not be sustainable. latimes.com/entertainment-…

In the early hours of July 11, two armed guards left their Brink’s big rig, giving a gang of thieves a 27-minute window to make the huge snatch, its total value still a mystery. Estimates range from $10 million to $100 million.

“We are talking multi-millions here. It is a huge amount of money,” said Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Major Crimes Bureau Sgt.

Michael Mileski, a veteran of investigating armored car and bank capers.

The crime didn’t match the usual definition of a heist because it did not involve a robbery so much as a stealth burglary.

With #NopeMovie, Jordan Peele has a close encounter of the Spielberg kind.

Whether you leave the movie in high spirits or scratching your head, @GeBraxton has the guide for you, explaining all those references to the “Jaws” director in Peele’s new movie. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Sprinkled through “Nope” are shoutouts to Hitchcock, Sidney Poitier and even, yes, Dwayne Johnson’s “The Scorpion King.” But perhaps the most obvious riffs are those saluting Steven Spielberg’s 1977 sci-fi classic, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” latimes.com/entertainment-… Image
As in “Close Encounters,” a UFO lies at the core of #Nope. In both films, they fly swiftly in the darkened skies, wreaking havoc on power lines and electrical equipment. latimes.com/entertainment-… Image

"Sometimes you have to go slow to go fast... The spine of the movie is their love affair. They were flat-out lovers. But what makes their story worth talking about is the breadth and scope of it," says Hawke. latimes.com/entertainment-…
In "The Last Movie Stars," Hawke collaborates with his own friends and contemporaries, including George Clooney, Laura Linney, Zoe Kazan and more. latimes.com/entertainment-…

.@whereisMUNA didn’t intend to be a vehicle for queer liberation. Yet they seemed to coalesce around one thing that wasn’t music.

“It was definitely the gay [factor],” says Josette Maskin (@jojolovedog). “It’s the one thing we all have in common.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
The band’s new album is an exquisite act of musical justice for those who suffered the indignities of growing up queer in the Y2K era.

“We were being sold back this [harmful] idea of ourselves,” lead vocalist Katie Gavin says of early 2000s pop culture. latimes.com/entertainment-… Image
Listen to @whereisMUNA’s live conversation with Suzy Exposito (@HexPositive) from earlier this month. twitter.com/i/spaces/1OdKr…

It's one of track and field’s most enduring paradoxes: The U.S. regularly produces many of the world’s fastest men, yet it equally produces head-scratching results in the 4x100-meter relay. latimes.com/sports/story/2…
When the team won gold at the 2019 world championships, @LylesNoah said the U.S. had broken “the curse, a generational curse, and bring on a new era.”

Two years later, the team failed to qualify for the finals at the Tokyo Olympics. latimes.com/sports/story/2…
“It’s not usually written about, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that on the U.S. team, you have Coach A saying, ‘Well, my athlete ain’t going to run if he’s not running anchor,’ or ‘if he’s not leading off...’ says Olympic medalist Ato Boldon. latimes.com/sports/story/2…
