After a series of film flops and an aborted initial public offering, Stx Entertainment is battling mounting skepticism that it can survive in an increasingly unforgiving movie business.
As it hustles to find $500 million in fresh capital, the company, which operates in the red according to financial disclosures, is simultaneously hoping to attract a “superstar” executive to help stabilize its struggling film division. The company has started to interview candidates for the job, and is open to hiring someone to serve as co-chairman of Stx Films alongside Adam Fogelson, who retains the support of the company’s leadership. The studio is looking to signal to the industry that it is righting the ship after the anemic financial performance of “UglyDolls,” “Poms,” and “Best of Enemies” and a lackluster track record of fielding hits. For this reason, Stx may have difficulty in attracting top executive talent.

A former Northwestern University microbiology professor and an Oxford University employee allegedly plotted for months before luring a Chicago hairstylist to his death in what officials described on Sunday as a “heinous” sexual fantasy of murder-suicide, People confirms.
Ex-teacher Wyndham Lathem, 43, and 56-year-old Andrew Warren remained in jail on Monday without bond, just weeks after they surrendered to California authorities in the fatal stabbing of Trenton Cornell-Duranleau, 26, whose body was found in Lathem’s Chicago high-rise apartment on July 27.
After prosecutors shared details of the slaying in court on Sunday, Judge Adam Bourgeois Jr. deemed both suspects flight risks and potentially dangerous.

In just about every single fashion week, ad roundup or magazine editorial, you’ll find a model that has a set of very famous parents. There are parent/sibling modeling empires including the Hadids and Gerbers (Cindy Crawford’s kids), and up-and-coming dynasties from the Hollywood acting scene (names like the Stallone and Hamlin sisters come to mind). But stars’ gorgeous offspring stepping in front of the camera isn’t anything new. What is surprising? The number of political families infiltrating the modeling world. Most recently, Tyler Clinton (yes, he’s related to those Clintons) signed a major modeling contract,...

Whoopi Goldberg is taking a stand at New York Fashion Week.
At the Phillip Plein show on Monday, Tiffany Trump was left sitting alone after several magazine editors moved so they wouldn’t have to be near President Donald Trump‘s daughter. Some even tweeted that they had changed seats, with former Wall Street Journal columnist Christina Binkley posting photos of the 23-year-old with empty seats beside her.
The snub became the subject of conversation on Wednesday’s episode of The View, where Goldberg defended the University of Pennsylvania graduate and offered to sit next to her at future shows.
