CALIFORNIA FIRE: 62,000 People Have Fled Blaze

Hugh Hefner’s Neighbor Buys Playboy Mansion

It’s the end of an era: The Playboy Mansion has sold!

The Playboy Mansion is in escrow with nearby neighbor Daren Metropoulos as the buyer, a Playboy spokesperson told PEOPLE. Although they can confirm the house is in contract, the representative declined to give additional details, including the sale price.
The iconic site located in Los Angeles was listed in January for $200 million. Besides the steep price tag, the sale also comes with another stipulation: The buyer has to allow Hugh Hefner a life estate so he can remain in the home until his death.
But Metropoulos, 32, seems to be up for it, as PEOPLE can confirm that Hefner and wife, Crystal, will continue to live in the Mansion.

This isn’t Metropoulos’s first experience with Hefner in the real estate market, either. In 2009, Metropoulos, a principal at private-equity firm Metropoulos & Co., purchased his current property from Hefner for $18 million, according to The Wall Street Journal.
At 20,000 square feet, the Playboy pad features 12 bedrooms, 21 baths and “every amenity imaginable,” as the Agency andHilton & Hyland listings state. It’s also one of the few private residences in L.A. to have a zoo license. And, of course, there’s the infamous grotto. If those walls could talk…

Every Delayed 2020 Movie Without A New Release Date

Several 2020 movies have seen their release dates delayed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic; here's every film that still needs a new one. With theaters closed down and film and TV production shut-down until further notice, Hollywood's 2020 release calendar has been all but  wiped clean on through to the middle of July  (with a few exceptions which will eventually have to move, as we'll discuss later). There's no guarantee theaters will be reopen for business by that point either, in spite of chains like Cinemark saying  they hope to resume showing new movies  that month. The New Mutants ANTLERS RUN THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW LAST NIGHT IN SOHO SPIRAL: FROM THE BOOK OF SAW GREYHOUND ANTEBELLUM Other Movies On top of all the bigger 2020 movies in need of a new release date after being delayed, there are also smaller indie titles like  Promising Young Woman  and  Saint Maud  (both of which premiered to strong reviews on the film festival cir...

#Yara Virus : The New Mysterious Virus Found In Brazil.

Scientists have discovered a new virus in an artificial lake in Brazil. This mysterious virus found in amoebae has been named “Yaravirus.” This latest discovery comes as the coronavirus from China continues to ravage the world. While the world scrabbles around looking for a cure for the deadly coronavirus, scientists have found another virus. Unlike the former which started in  China,  this new one comes from an artificial lake in  Brazil. Independent  reports that this virus named "Yaravirus" was found in an amoebae. It was named after "Yara" or “Iara,” which means 'mother of waters' - a mythical siren/mermaid figure from Brazilian mythology who would lure sailors underwater. Scientists are saying that this virus is mysterious because it has genes that no one has seen before. Reporting the new discovery in  bioRxiv, a  biological sciences website, the researchers wrote:  “We report the discovery of Yaravirus, a new lineage of amoe...

Reopenings: “New Wide Release Movies Are Unlikely To Be Available”

The National Association of Theatre Owners is continuing its work advocating for cinemas during the COVID-19 pandemic. In their latest statement, the association responds to several states’ plans to open theaters as early as next week. The White House’s plan to open the economy includes theaters under “Phase One,” meaning they would be allowed to open after the area in which they operate in satisfies  three qualifying criteria . In the days since the White House released its plan, Georgia governor Brian Kemp has stated that movie theaters in his state  could be allowed to open as early as next Monday, April 27  if they adhere to “specific social distancing and sanitation mandates.” Governors of Tennessee and South Carolina have also announced plans to allow non-essential businesses to reopen, though what this means for movie theaters specifically has not yet been clarified. As states begin to move towards reopening, NATO issued the following statement: While some states a...
