• 108- 'Top Gun: Maverick' Passes 'Titanic' as Seventh-Highest Grossing Film in Domestic Box Office History
•••• "Top Gun: Maverick" has toppled "Titanic" as the seventh-biggest film release ever at the domestic box office, earning $662 million in ticket sales.
•••• For Paramount, "Top Gun: Maverick" has also overtaken "Titanic" as the studio's biggest film in its 110-year history. However, James Cameron's disaster epic is still outpacing Tom Cruise's fighter-jet adventure outside of North America with $1.5 billion at the international box office and $2.2 billion globally.
•••• "Top Gun: Maverick" has sold a similar number of tickets overseas as it has domestically, with the film's international tally at $690 million. Without playing in China or Russia, the blockbuster follow-up to 1986's "Top Gun" has grossed $1.3 billion to date.
•••• Thanks to word-of-mouth and repeat customers, "Top Gun: Maverick" is pulling in audiences that would have been enormous even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, it's close to reaching Marvel's "Avengers: Infinity War," which currently stands as the sixth-highest grossing domestic release ever with $678 million.
•••• Beyond that, the list of the top five domestic releases ever consists of "Black Panther" ($700 million), "Avatar" ($760 million), "Spider-Man: No Way Home" ($804 million), "Avengers: Endgame" ($853 million) and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" ($936 million).
••••Since "Top Gun: Maverick" debuted in May and cleared a new Memorial Day weekend opening record with $160.5 million, it has remained a box office force. "Maverick" is Cruise's first movie to surpass $100 million in a single weekend and his first to reach $1 billion at the worldwide box office.

• 102-Apple warns of security flaw for iPhones, iPads and Macs - (AP)
Apple disclosed serious security vulnerabilities for iPhones, iPads and Macs that could potentially allow attackers to take complete control of these devices.

•••• Security flaw may allow hackers full control of devices, company warns. Apple has released patches for major iOS and macOS security breaches. Major security vulnerabilities found in iOS and macOS devices could allow potential hackers complete control of a user's device, Apple warned on Wednesday
•••• The company said it is "aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited."
•••• Apple did not say in the reports how, where or by whom the vulnerabilities were discovered. In all cases, it cited an anonymous researcher.
•••• Apple released two security reports about the issue Wednesday, although they didn't receive wide attention outside of tech publications.
•••• Security experts have advised users to update affected devices -- the iPhones 6S and later models; several models of the iPad, including the 5th generation and later, all iPad Pro models and the iPad Air 2; and Mac computers running MacOS Monterey. It also affects some iPod models.
•••• Apple's explanation of the vulnerability means a hacker could get "full admin access to the device" so that they can "execute any code as if they are you, the user," said Rachel Tobac, chief executive of SocialProof Security.
•••• Those who should be particularly attentive to updating their software are "people who are in the public eye" such as activists or journalists who might be the targets of sophisticated nation-state spying, Tobac said.
•••• Commercial spyware companies such as Israel's NSO Group are known for identifying and taking advantage of such flaws, exploiting them in malware that surreptitiously infects targets' smartphones, siphons their contents and surveils the targets in real time.
•••• NSO Group has been blacklisted by the U.S. Commerce Department. Its spyware is known to have been used in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America against journalists, dissidents and human rights activists.
••••Security researcher Will Strafach said he had seen no technical analysis of the vulnerabilities that Apple has just patched. The company has previously acknowledged similarly serious flaws and, in what Strafach estimated to be perhaps a dozen occasions, has noted that it was aware of reports that such security holes had been exploited.

• 115- NBA veteran Scottie Pippen and Napa Wine Legend Dave Phinney to deliver keynote address at The Western Foodservice & Hospitality Expo - By Gary Sunkin
•••• The largest Foodservice & Hospitality Expo in the West is taking place from Sunday, August 28 through Tuesday, August 30 at the Los Angeles. Convention Center. The expo will showcase hundreds of leading vendors, demonstrating and sampling the newest food products, technology and equipment for the restaurant, foodservice, specialty beverage and hospitality markets. Access to live culinary prformances and award ceremonies, all under one roof.
•••• Keynote speaker Dave Phinney has a colorful, storied history in the craft beverage world.  Twenty years ago, he took a friend up on an offer to spend a semester "studying" in Florence, Italy.  This trip sparked what would become lifelong passions &endash; history, agriculture, winemaking and the profound act of turning something from the earth into a beverage.  
•••• After this epic trip, Dave moved to the Napa Valley and landed a job at the Robert Mondavi Winery in 1997 as a temporary harvest worker. He decided that if he was going to work this hard, it would eventually have to be for himself.  So, in 1998 he founded his first brand with two tons of zinfandel and not much else.  
•••• He spent the next decade making wine for others as well as himself and has since grown several companies into multinational brands.  During this time, Dave also became increasingly interested in spirits.  
•••• In 2016, Dave started the Savage & Cooke distillery.  He applied all that he learned over the years in winemaking and took a very different approach, notably finishing all of his spirits in wine barrels from his collection of projects.  Dave decided to base Savage & Cooke on Mare Island, which is renowned for its rich history and architecture.
•••• A 17-year NBA veteran, Scottie Pippen played in 1,178 games and averaged 16.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists and 1.96 steals during an illustrious career that placed him among the NBA's 50 Greatest Players of all-time in 1996 and brought the Bulls six NBA World Championship titles (1991-93, 1996-98)
•••• Pippen led his teams to postseason appearances in each of his first 16 seasons and compiled NBA Playoff averages of 17.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.96 steals in 208 games. At the time of his retirement, Pippen's 208 career playoff appearances ranked second in NBA history behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 237. During his 12 years in a Bulls uniform, the 6-8, 228-pound forward/guard affixed his name at or very near the top of every major statistical category in franchise history. At the time of his retirement, Pippen was the team's all-time leader in three-point field goals (664) and three-point field goal attempts (2,031), and ranked second in 12 other categories.
•••• The keynote will be moderated by Art Sutley, Nightlife & Hospitality Expert, and one of the industry experts behind Bar Business Magazine. As an educator in the industry, he speaks at many of the top restaurant and cocktail tradeshows globally. Art has appeared on the Paramount Network's hit TV Show Bar Rescue as a Recon Expert assisting host and industry expert Jon Taffer. Most recently Art has joined the team at Savage & Cooke Distillery.
•••• The Western Foodservice & Hospitality Expo is owned by Clarion Events Food & Beverage Group and sponsored by the California Restaurant Association. Clarion Events (us.clarionevents.com) produces 37 events across thirteen sectors of both trade and consumer events. The Clarion Events Food & Beverage Group also includes the Florida Restaurant & Lodging Show, the International Restaurant & Foodservice Show of New York, Coffee Fest and The NGA Show.

• 101- New opportunities & challenges as the path of late-night shows is shifting
••• As announced James Corden is leaving CBS's The Late Late Show next year after a seven-year hosting gig. Samantha Bee's Full Frontal was canceled at TBS, the latest cull of the new Warner Bros. Discovery empire, and Desus & Mero split up and ended their Showtime series a group of showrunners lobbied the TV Academy to keep five nominations.
•••• The cancelation of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee is one of those decisions impacted by decreasing linear ratings and a changing media landscape, coming as part of a swathe of cuts at Warner Bros. Discovery.
•••• Jon Batiste, bandleader of Stephen Colbert's The Late Show is leaving after seven years and even Jimmy Kimmel is considering ending his 20-year run on ABC.
•••• There's long been two strands in late-night; the nightly shows on the broadcast networks -- "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, "Late Night with Seth Meyers" which scored its first major Emmy, and "The Late Late Show with James Corden" -- and cable such as "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah." Then you have the weekly cable shows, and more recently streaming such as "Real Time with Bill Maher," "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver," "Full Frontal" with Samantha Bee, Ziwe, "The Amber Ruffin Show," "Pause with Sam Jay" and "Hell of a Week with Charlamagne Tha God."
•••• CBS is currently figuring out how to replace Corden, who started in 2015. CBS was looking to experiment in the 12:30 am and tweek up the format, which has been somewhat singularly designed around the Tony-winning British host. There have been an abundance of names thrown into the ring from established stars, predominantly female, to YouTubers and more enigmatic performers. "Everyone wants someone that already has followers but that's difficul, like getting people to go from YouTube to linear."
•••• ABC will also be keeping a close eye on the landscape in case Jimmy Kimmel decides to retire, a decision the host has not yet fully made.
•••• Former MTV and Comedy Central executive Doug Herzog., who oversaw The Daily Show with Jon Stewart when he ran Comedy Central, said that there's a lot of different things at work right now when it comes to late-night. He says that linear, ad-supported television is being "upended" and its impact on specific day parts is one issue, while streaming is another. "Ten years ago, certainly 15 years ago, you couldn't access a late-night show until 11:30pm at night, and now it's feels like with social media and the way these shows are kind of chopped up and sent out to the world, it's late-night all the time," he said on his show.

•••• Rushdie, whose book "The Satanic Verses" sent him undercover out of fear for his life was prepared to give a lecture at the Chautauqua Institution, a non profit education and retreat center in upstate New York. Ironically, he was allegedly to talk about the US being a "safe haven" for speech when Hadi Matar, 24, rushed the stage, attacked him and an interviewer and then started to stab the 75-year-old author.
•••• Rushdie was taken by helicopter to a hospital, where he underwent surgery and put on a ventilator.
He will likely lose one eye; the nerves in his arm were severed; and his liver was stabbed and damaged," his agent Andrew Wylie said in the statement."
•••• The man accused of attacking Rushdie at the Chautauqua Institution, pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and assault charges in what a prosecutor called "pre-planned" crime. A judge ordered him held without bail after Chautauqua County Dist Atty Jason Schmidt told her that Matar 24, took steps to purposely put himself in position to harm Rushdie, getting an advance pass to the event where the author was speaking and arriving a day early bearing a fake ID.
••• The attach was met with shock and outrage from much of the world, along with tribute and praise for the award-winning author who for more than 30 ears has faced death threats.
•••• Salman was born in India and raised in Mumbai before moving to England to attend high school and the University of Cambridge, the Authors Guild said. He is the author of 14 novels, including "Midnight's Children," for which he won the 1981 Booker Prize.
•••• Rushdie's life first came under threat in 1989, when Iranian Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini placed a fatwa on him over "The Satanic Verses," a book inspired by the life of the prophet Muhammad.
•••• The author was issued a death sentence in 1989 by Ayatollah Khomeini, after Rushdie's book, The Satanic Verses, allegedly insulted the Prophet Mohammed and The Koran.
•••• The book caused an uproar in many Muslim communities. Khomeini called it blasphemy, saying it was "against Islam, the Prophet and the Koran" when he ordered Rushdie's death. He offered a $1-million reward for Rushdie's killer. Khomeini died in 1989.

• 115- HFPA to become for-profit organization to save Golden Globes
••• Hollywood, CA, 07/28/22 -- The Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. by vote accepted a proposal by interim Chief Executive Todd Boehly who has served as the org's interim CEO since last year. The HFPA put itself on the auction block in May, and Boehly had been looking to buy the organization since.
••• Boehly, chairman of private equity firm Eldridge Industries, the parent company of longtime Globes producer Dick Clark Productions (now known as MRC Live & Alternative) presented his plan during an general membership meeting.
••• "This is a historic moment for the HFPA and the Golden Globes," said Helen Hoehne, president of the HFPA, in a statement. "We have taken a decisive step forward to transform ourselves and adapt to this increasingly competitive economic landscape for both award shows and the journalism marketplace. ... We are excited to move forward with a mandate to ensure we continue our support for increasing diversity in all areas and maintaining our life-changing charitable and philanthropic efforts."
.••• The new private entity will manage its Golden Globes assets while maintaining the charitable and philanthropic programs in a separate non-profit entity.
••••Under his proposal, Eldridge would form a new company and acquire the Golden Globes assets based on an "independent third-party valuation firm." The proceeds would be used to fund the charitable wing of the HFPA.
••••The association's tax-exempt status would be dissolved, and the new association would allow members "the opportunity to share in its profits, thereby giving them a stake in the success of the Globes."
••••The plan also needs a final sign-off from California's attorney general.
••• Under the deal, HFPA members would be paid $75,000 annually for several years, according to two members not authorized to speak publicly.
•••••• •The move comes as the embattled association has been working to reform itself and get back on track with Hollywood.
••••Last year, NBC dropped the broadcast of the 2022 Globes boycotting the organization, and studios including Netflix and WarnerMedia cut ties after a Times investigation raised questions about the group's ethical and financial lapses and revealed that not one of the then 87 members was Black.
••••Since then, the nonprofit HFPA has undertaken a series of reforms, including establishing new bylaws, banning gifts and adding 21 new members, six of whom are Black.
••• In May Pacific Coast Entertainment, a group led by former motion picture academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs, made a multimillion-dollar bid to buy the Golden Globes.
••••Reaching out to HFPA members directly, the offer included paying them an annual salary of $120,000, guaranteed for five years, along with a one-time $100,000 "Pandemic Relief Grant," and establishing a $5-million-a-year endowment, according to a review by The Times.

Kreutzer paints a completely new picture of a woman who was literally and socially corseted by royal constraints, prevailing standards of beauty, and her own wardrobe.
•••• Kreutzer is obviously making a case for Sissi as a woman comprehensively stymied by the combined forces of patriarchy and court protocol, but she is not the kind of filmmaker to avoid unpleasant truths. Her Sissi is a textbook narcissist.

• 114- Art Rupe, pioneering record executive who helped launch Little Richard's career, dies at 104
•••• Rupe, who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, died Friday (April 15) at his home in Santa Barbara, California.
•••• Music executive Art Rupe, whose Specialty Records was a premier label during the early years of rock'n'roll and who helped launch the careers of Little Richard, Sam Cooke and many others, has died. He was 104.
•••• He was born Arthur Goldberg, the son of an Austrian immigrant laborer, in Greensburg, Pa., on Sept 5, 1917, whose passion for Black music began through hearing the singers at a nearby Baptist church. He studied at
Art Rupe, Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images
the University of California, Los Angeles, and after considering a career in movies decided on music instead. He co-founded Juke Box Records in the mid-1940s, but soon left to start Specialty.

•••• Rupe was a contemporary of Jerry Wexler, Leonard Chess and other white businessmen-producers who helped bring Black music to the general public. He founded Specialty in Los Angeles in 1946 and gave early breaks to artists such as Cooke and his gospel group the Soul Stirrers, Little Richard, Lloyd Price, John Lee Hooker and Clifton Chenier.

 •Little Richard: Michael Ochs Archives

••• •••• Rupe settled on Specialty's eye-popping yellow labels after a marketing professor said it was among the colors most likely to attract buyers' attention.
•••• An astute businessman who loved the music while at the same time signed his artist to exploitative record deals -- "Tutti Frutti" sold more than 500,000 copies but, at a royalty rate of half-cent per record, reportedly netted Little Richard a mere $25,000.
•••• Rupe was known for how little he paid his artists and engaged in an exploitative practice common among label owners in the early rock era: having performers sign contracts leaving him with much or all of the royalties and publishing rights. "Tutti Frutti" sold more than 500,000 copies but, at a royalty rate of half-cent per record, reportedly netted Little Richard a mere $25,000. In 1959 Little Richard would sue Rupe for back royalties and settled out of court for $11,000.

•••• Eventually Rupe grew increasingly frustrated with the "payola" system of bribing broadcasters to get records played and distanced himself from the music business. He sold Specialty to Fantasy Records in the early 1990s, but continued to earn money through oil and gas investments. In recent years, he headed the Arthur N Rupe Foundation, which supported education and research.

Rupe spent his final decades in Santa Barbara.

Stubblefield, the Man History Overheard By Harvey Geller •••• In Life's current Bicentennial issue, radio checks in, at #86 on the hot "100 Events That Shaped America," 19 buttons behind Bell's telephone. Erroneously, Life lists Guglielmo Marcon's dots and dashes as the first wireless broadcast, a fable echoed by the World Almanac and Encyclopedia Britannica. It's a forgivable mumpsimus, since the evidence offered on the following pages has not, until now, appeared in any national publication. •••• The birth of broadcasting is a bizarre soap opera saga, a lacrymal legend of mystery, machination, ephemeral enshrinement, decline, disillusionment and disaster. It's denouncement dissolves six miles north of Murray, Kentucky, in a two-room shanty constructed of pine and cornstalks, where radio's uncelebrated architect is discovered 48 hours after his death, his records scattered, his equipment destroyed, his brain partly eaten by rats. Even local radio fails to mention his demise. He is Nathan Beverly Stubblefield, the man history over-heard and then overlooked. • Click for Full Story Published in Warner Bros.
