Entertainment news today balances nostalgia, disruption, and consequence. The music world is mourning Victor Willis, the Village People frontman and co-writer of “YMCA,” who has died at 75 after a short illness, closing a chapter on one of disco’s most recognizable voices. In gaming, Sony has signaled a decisive break with the past, saying that from January 2028 new PlayStation titles will no longer be released on discs, underscoring the industry’s accelerating shift to all-digital distribution. Eurovision, meanwhile, is getting a new twist of its own: Canada will join the contest for the first time in 2027, broadening the competition’s global reach. And in Los Angeles, a jury has ordered Chris Brown to pay about $13 million to a former housekeeper injured in a 2020 dog attack, a verdict that brings legal accountability to a long-running case.
