In recent entertainment news, U.S. singer Chris Brown was detained by UK police following allegations of assault at a London nightclub in 2023. Having flown to Manchester, his connection to a bottle attack was reported by the Sun newspaper, spotlighting his legal troubles once again.

Meanwhile, Warner Bros Discovery announced it would reinstate HBO in the branding of its streaming service, re-establishing HBO Max. This strategic move aims to leverage HBO's global reputation to attract new subscribers as the platform extends its international footprint.

In another international incident, Mexican authorities pursued legal action against a media firm associated with YouTuber MrBeast. This comes following claims that his video production violated terms of filming at ancient sites, including Chichen Itza, sparking controversy and regulatory scrutiny.
