Entertainment news is led by the death of Tim Curry, a singular performer whose work in cult film, horror and comedy left a long imprint on popular culture. Elsewhere, the day brings a mix of legal fallout, franchise casting and gaming turbulence, showing how legacy names continue to shape the industry.

Tim Curry dies at 80 at his home in Los Angeles. The English actor becomes a cult icon as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and reaches a broad television audience as Pennywise in Stephen King’s It, building a career defined by theatrical intensity, comic flair and instantly recognizable performances.

Blake Lively wins roughly $400,000 in attorneys’ fees and costs in her federal dispute with Justin Baldoni. The award falls far short of the nearly $8 million she sought, with the judge granting about $363,245 in fees and roughly $44,206 in costs, marking a partial but significant legal victory.

Rockstar Games says recent Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay leaks are “heartbreaking” for the development team. The studio frames the release of unfinished footage as unintended and uses its public response to address the long stretch of limited official information, acknowledging frustration around one of gaming’s most anticipated titles.

Rupert Grint is set to reprise Ron Weasley on Broadway in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The return brings one of the original film franchise’s central actors into the stage production, where he will play an older version of Ron and add fresh attention to the long-running show.
