Entertainment news today swung between reinvention, spectacle and sharp political commentary. The BBC signalled a new era for Strictly Come Dancing, handing hosting duties to Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe after the departure of long-time anchors Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman. At Cannes, the mood was more severe: Sebastian Stan, promoting Fjord, used a press appearance to say America is in a “really, really bad place,” reviving debate around his earlier portrayal of Donald Trump, while Andrei Zvyagintsev returned to the festival with Minotaur, a grim, noirish study of corruption in Putin-era Russia that earned a standing ovation. Elsewhere, Thailand tightened visa-free stays for travellers from more than 90 countries as part of a crackdown on foreign crime, and Nashville landed a cultural and sporting coup, winning the 2030 Super Bowl for its new Nissan Stadium.
