Entertainment news today was shaped by the strange and unsettling power of the livestream. In Miami, Perez Hilton was hospitalized after viewers alerted authorities during a TikTok broadcast that reportedly showed him harming himself, while in Mexico, influencer César Gastélum was shot dead during a live stream outside a fast-food restaurant in Culiacán, a killing that underscores the dangers facing online personalities in violence-plagued Sinaloa. Against that grim backdrop, the business of digital entertainment kept moving: Disney struck a notable partnership with TikTok, giving selected creators access to Marvel, Star Wars and other franchises for officially licensed short-form remixes that may also appear on Disney+. On the screen, “Ted Lasso” returned to Apple TV+ with a new focus on Richmond’s women’s team, earning a mixed but intrigued critical response, while sports fans also saw the Blue Jays lose pitcher Trey Yesavage to the injured list with knee inflammation.
