The beef between Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Vin Diesel is far from squelched … because “The Rock” just blasted his former ‘Fast & Furious’ co-star, calling him manipulative.

Hollywood’s guilds and unions saved the film and TV business in 2021. Working cooperatively with the industry’s companies, they adopted Covid-19 protocols that got production booming and their members safely back to work, all the while averting strikes that would have crippled recovery efforts. And earlier this year, Hollywood’s unions were among the first in
Before the year ends, let me dig into the mailbag for your comments on some recent, and at this point not so recent, topics. Nothing like a deadline of Dec. 31 to concentrate the mind. Tequila!
