Spike Lee has defended Lionsgate's Michael Jackson biopic 'Michael' against critics complaining about its exclusion of the singer's child sexual abuse allegations. He argued that the claims fall outside the film's timeline, which ends in 1988. The movie has performed strongly at the box office amid the controversy.
Isiah Whitlock Jr., the actor celebrated for his portrayal of corrupt senator Clay Davis on HBO's 'The Wire'—famous for his drawn-out 'sh**t'—has died at age 71. He passed away on December 30, 2025, in New York following a short illness, his manager confirmed. 'A brilliant actor and even better person,' Brian Liebman said.
