Did Dana Walden just inch a step closer to the frontrunner position for succession of the Walt Disney Company?
The impossibly svelte television executive stood triumphant in the middle of a massive post-Emmys fete on Sunday, as Disney took over the entire outdoor plaza of the Los Angeles Music Center downtown and dressed it with a dazzling tent, gorgeous flowers, sumptuous food and chic seating areas.
CEO Bob Iger hovered nearby like a proud papa, having sat supportively beside his star executive at the Emmy awards earlier in the evening. At his core, Iger is a TV guy – having come to Disney from Cap Cities/ABC in 1996 – and he was very much in his element.
There was a lot to celebrate. Disney certainly knew it was in for a big night at the Emmys, which aired on the company’s own ABC network. But even so they could not have...

Dianna Agron is addressing fan speculation around her relationship with Taylor Swift for the first time. Back in 2012, the duo were pretty inseparable and were often spotted out together in public or dressing up on social media. Some fans have wondered for years if the pair were even involved romantically. But in a May 7 interview with Rolling Stone, Agron said it was "funny" that people thought they were together.
In the interview, Agron was asked about how she partially inspired Swift's song "22," off of 2012's "Red." Agron responded, "Me? Oh, if only! That's more because of a friendship than being the inspiration for the song. But I would not be the person to ask about that. I cannot claim that!"
In the liner notes for the song - which is all about friendship and good time together - Swift mentioned four names: "Ashley Dianna Claire Selena.

Saldana has had to kiss many co-stars in her long career. But kissing Worthington in 2009’s Avatar might have proven to be one of the actor’s strangest experiences. Saldana and Worthington both played members of James Cameron’s fictional alien race The Na’vi.
Both Saldana and Worthington had to wear special equipment in order to bring their characters, and their intimacy, to the big screen. But this equipment often got in the way of her and Worthington’s fictional love-making.

Updated with the latest: The morning after the National Weather Service issued a Tornado Warning for Northwest Los Angeles and parts of Ventura County, videos began surfacing online of a short funnel reaching down toward a swirling cloud of debris on the ground about 50 miles away. Local (and national) TV news outlets were soon all over the incident, which took place in Montebello.
Nws confirmed that the tornado — whose strength has not yet been measured — hit around 11:20 a.m. Wednesday. The storm was focused in a largely industrial district, and Montebello Fire Department officials said that city inspectors examined 17 buildings in the affected area, and 11 of them were red-tagged, or marked unsuitable for occupation. Fire authorities also said one person was injured.
Video from the scene shows portions of rooftops ripped off industrial structures and debris swirling in the air.

So, when it was time to accept a prestigious award, Coolidge told White and the rest of the room how he changed her life “in a million ways” during her speech. She got some laughs but later said she wasn’t joking, revealing, “I spilled my guts!”
