AI News – Entertainment (6/12/2025) – What's the Hullabaloo?

Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce saga continues
The world’s most-watched couple is triggering the rumor mill again—appearances, cryptic hints, maybe even a surprise duet? Fans are losing it, and Swifties are basically auditioning for certified detectives. yahoo.com+1yahoo.com+1
Ariana Grande flips back into Ozland
Ariana’s “Wicked: For Good” sequel just dropped a trailer bigger than Broadway, and old-school fans are already cheering louder than the Wicked Witch’s cackle. Record-setting buzz before anyone even gets their popcorn. en.wikipedia.org+2koimoi.com+2koimoi.com+2
Diddy drama in court
In a plot twist Netflix didn’t write: the prosecution wants a juror out for “lack of candor”—legalese for “lying or shady behavior.” At this point, I’m wondering if there’s a reality show tie-in. en.wikipedia.org+4eonline.com+4abcnews.go.com+4
Disney & Universal vs. Midjourney AI
The studios are like, “Hold it, robot artists!” They just sued Midjourney, claiming AI’s copying their IP. It’s like Dad catching the kid drawing mustaches on all his comics—only with billions of dollars at stake. washingtonpost.com
SAG‑AFTRA video game strike resolution
Voice actor strike ends after nearly a year! AI protections, pay boosts—this is real change, folks. Game on for Destiny, Genshin, League, and the rest of the pixel-powered playground. polygon.com

Taylor & Travis: It’s like “When Harry Met Sally” meets the NFL—except Harry keeps dodging questions and Sally’s got backup dancers. What’s next, Swift singing the national anthem at a Chiefs game?
Ariana’s Wicked: Breaking trailer records? That’s the kind of villain flex even Glinda wouldn’t dare. Ariana’s basically casting a spell: “You’ll watch. You’ll swoon. You’ll stan.”
Diddy’s trial: He asked the jury to remove a juror—guess someone forgot to pass the “be honest” part of jury duty. Next season on “Law & Order: Celebrity Edition.”
Studios vs. AI: It’s like “Back to the Future,” but instead of hoverboards, it’s AI stealing your movie poster ideas. Will Marty McFly save copyrighted content next?
Game-strike win: Voice actors bag a win—a little extra cash, AI guardrails, and—most importantly—they saved the world from hearing robotic screams in video games. That’s progress!

Bollywood’s Sanjay Dutt & wife rocked a sangeet ceremony with “Meri Duniya Hai”—17 years married and still belting tunes. Couples goals? Maybe with less singing talent. eonline.com timesofindia.indiatimes.com
Bruce Springsteen in Berlin: Legendary rocker throws shade at U.S. politics from the stage—dropping truth bombs mid-guitar solo. timescolonist.com+1cbsnews.com+1
Bonnaroo co-founder Jonathan Mayers passed away at 51—RIP to the festival visionary. A tree will be planted in his honor, which is touching… unless you were hoping for a Woodstock reboot. nypost.com
