Entertainment news today is defined by upheaval and reinvention. In Britain, Sky’s agreement to buy ITV’s channels and ITVX streaming business for up to £1.6 billion marks one of the biggest shifts in UK television in years, creating a more formidable domestic challenger to global streaming giants while leaving ITV to focus on production. In gaming, Xbox is moving in the opposite direction, announcing 3,200 job cuts and a sweeping studio overhaul that its own leadership calls the most significant restructure in its history. Hollywood, meanwhile, is staring further into an AI-shaped future, with the virtual performer Tilly Norwood set to lead the feature film Misaligned, a project already stirring industry unease. And amid all the corporate disruption, there is a note of loss: Lauren Bennett, remembered for Party Rock Anthem and her work with G.R.L., has died at 37.
