The campaign debuts with a 30-second television spot titled “Excuses,” in which Hamm attempts to avoid a social obligation by claiming he needs time to sell his car. The narrative turns when the ease and speed of Carvana’s process undermines his excuse—his car is already sold and being hauled away.

LOS ANGELES, May 19, 2025 (ENTERTAINMENT INTERVIEWS) — Musician, filmmaker, and author Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson delivered the undergraduate commencement address at Loyola Marymount University’s 2025 ceremony. Thompson delivered remarks centered on navigating uncertainty and personal growth through four core principles: gratitude, breathing through fear, movement, and self-affirmation.

Speaking at LMU’s Westchester campus, Thompson told graduates, “This isn't just for people with framed credentials. This is for anyone who's felt small in a big moment — or too big in a world that wanted you to feel smaller.”
Thompson discussed how daily practices have shaped his resilience. “Without gratitude, we become entitled ... But gratitude is what keeps you human, reminding us that even with our hustle and willpower, something bigger is at work,” he said.
Addressing stress and anxiety, he stated, “Your lungs can't distinguish between a panic attack and a standing ovation — so only your breath decides which story you're living.”
On emotional processing, he added, “What we don't process, we still carry — first in our hearts, then it's in our bodies. What we don't express will find a way to express through us anyway.”
He concluded with a message on self-talk: “Transformation begins with how you talk to yourself — by flipping that question … 'Am I good enough?' into 'I am good enough.'”
Thompson is an Academy Award-winning filmmaker, a six-time GRAMMY winner, and the musical director for “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” His documentary Summer of Soul won the 2022 Academy Award for Best Documentary, and his latest film Sly Lives! premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.
More than 2,880 students are participating in LMU’s commencement ceremonies. The university’s graduate and law school commencement will take place on May 18, with physicist and author Brian Greene scheduled to speak.

PIGEON FORGE, Tenn., May 2, 2025 (ENTERTAINMENT INTERVIEWS) — Theme park company Dollywood Parks & Resorts has announced the celebration of its 40th season. Originally launched in 1986 by entertainer Dolly Parton and partner Herschend Family Entertainment, the park has expanded into a nationally recognized destination featuring rides, live entertainment, lodging, and seasonal events.
Dollywood commemorated its anniversary with a media and season passholder event on-site, attended by Parton, Dollywood Parks & Resorts President Eugene Naughton, and Peter Herschend. The event included reflections on the park's history and a preview of its 40th anniversary retrospective show "Play On," set to debut during the celebration.
“I’ve always believed the Smoky Mountains are one of the most beautiful places God ever made, and I feel blessed to call them home. When I first dreamed of creating Dollywood, I had two simple hopes. I wanted to build a place that would bring people from all over to see the magic of the Smokies and, hopefully, fall in love with them just like I did. And I knew that when they came, they’d meet the folks who live here and feel the kindness and hospitality that make this place so special. I think that’s why Dollywood keeps being named one of the best theme parks in the world—it’s not just the beauty of the mountains, it’s the heart of the people who welcome you here,” said Parton.

Recent additions to the park include The Dolly Parton Experience and the Wilderness Pass Restaurant, which opened during the anniversary weekend. Dollywood has also introduced a new parking facility and continues to expand its operations through a $500 million investment plan announced in 2021.
In recognition of its 40th season, Dollywood has launched a complimentary one-time ticket offer for children in Tennessee's foster care system, in collaboration with the state and the Department of Children’s Services.
The park has earned multiple awards in recent years. Since 2022, it has been named Tripadvisor's #1 Best U.S. Theme Park twice and was ranked on Forbes’ Top 300 Best Customer Service list in 2024. Additional accolades include Amusement Today's Golden Ticket Awards, USA Today rankings, and recognition from Newsweek and the National Amusement Park Historical Association.

NEW YORK, April 23, 2025 (ENTERTAINMENT INTERVIEWS) — Nonprofit organization Borrowed Spotlight has launched a new portrait exhibit and coffee table book aimed at preserving the stories of Holocaust survivors.

The project features large-scale portraits captured by photographer Bryce Thompson and pairs Holocaust survivors with prominent individuals in media, fashion, and entertainment. The portraits include Cindy Crawford, Jennifer Garner, Chelsea Handler, David Schwimmer, Kat Graham, and others. The initiative is intended to educate younger generations amid declining public knowledge about the Holocaust.
The exhibition will be open to the public from April 23 to April 27, with proceeds from the sale of the coffee table book and a private print auction supporting Selfhelp Community Services and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Guests at the opening event included Kat Graham, Gregg Sulkin, Margaret Josephs, Melissa Gorga, Remi Bader, and others, who joined survivors in viewing the exhibit and listening to remarks from producer Daniella Greenbaum, photographer Bryce Thompson, and actress Kat Graham.
According to the company, the project was developed in response to growing concerns about Holocaust education. Recent global surveys show that 20% of people have never heard of the Holocaust, and more than 60% are unaware that six million Jews were killed. Borrowed Spotlight aims to counter this trend by combining visual storytelling and celebrity advocacy to preserve survivor testimonies.

TORONTO, March 11, 2025 (ENTERTAINMENT INTERVIEWS) — Arts foundation, The Glenn Gould Foundation, has announced that musician Sir Elton John has been named the Laureate of the 15th Glenn Gould Prize. The biennial award recognizes an individual whose lifetime contributions in the arts have enriched the human condition. Sir Elton was selected by an international jury of artists and cultural leaders.
The Glenn Gould Prize, often referred to as the "Nobel Prize of the Arts," includes a CAD$100,000 award for the laureate and a CAD$25,000 Glenn Gould Protégé Prize, granted to a young artist chosen by the winner.
“After spending decades admiring the virtuosity of Glenn Gould’s work, I am awestruck and honoured to receive this award,” said Sir Elton John.
With more than five decades in music, John has sold over 300 million albums, produced more than 50 Top 40 hits, and achieved EGOT status, having received Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards. He is also recognized for his philanthropic efforts, particularly in HIV/AIDS advocacy through the Elton John AIDS Foundation, which has raised over USD$600 million globally.
The 15th Glenn Gould Prize jury was chaired by former Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell and included actor Jeremy Irons, screenwriter Lee Hall, BBC Radio 3 Controller Sam Jackson, filmmaker Nyla Innuksuk, and other global arts leaders.

'In selecting our Laureate, Elton John, we chose to honour someone who has great artistic accomplishments but whose life and whose art has been translated into something much greater than just performance or the consumption of music and things they’ve created. Elton John has used his enormous talent and his great success to change lives. He’s been courageous in taking on causes, whether AIDS, LGBTQ+ rights, addiction and all sorts of issues that were not popular when he engaged with them and he was prepared to take the wonderful success that his musical talent had given him to make a difference in the world. And from our perspective that represents the highest level of achievement for an artist and celebrates the memory of Glenn Gould in the best way,' said Kim Campbell, Jury Chair of the 15th Glenn Gould Prize and former Prime Minister of Canada.
A special public event at Kings Place in London announced the prize, which included performances by South African soprano Pumeza Matshikiza and Canadian pianist Ryan Wang. The official award presentation will take place at a gala in Toronto this fall.
