The Philippines, and its long tug of war between democracy and autocracy, is the subject of two timely documentaries.
In A Thousand Cuts, set for U.S. release later this summer, director Ramona Diaz examines the Philippines under President Rodrigo Duterte, who has unleashed a campaign of violence and murder on drug suspects and tightened the noose around press freedoms. Just today, crusading journalist Maria Ressa—the hero of A Thousand Cuts—was convicted of “cyber libel” and sentenced to up to six years in prison.
The Kingmaker, meanwhile, takes as its subject the colorful former first lady of the Philippines, Imelda Marcos, and her quest to establish a political dynasty. The Showtime documentary directed by Lauren Greenfield is now in the running for Emmy nominations.
“I started filming with [Imelda] in 2014 after I found out about Animal Island, an island of African animals that she and President Marcos created in 1976 in the South China Sea,...

John Lennon could turn a bad mood into great song. He worked out some instant karma for a giggling guru for The Beatles' White Album.
"Well, if you’re so cosmic you’ll know why," John Lennon explained to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi as the final two Beatles left his Ashram before fulfilling their Transcendental Meditation regimen. "And he gave me a look like ‘I’ll kill you, you bastard,'” Lennon told Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone in December 1970, which was later published as the book Lennon Remembers. Inner peace is as much a bitch as karma, which bites the asses of rock stars and gurus alike. Maharishi was accused of sexual misconduct during the Beatles' sojourn to India for enlightenment, a journey which may have culminated in the band teaming with the Beach Boys in spreading the movement. But it darkened Lennon's vibes so bad...

Alabama born actor and entertainer Jim Nabors, for better and probably worse best known as the kind-hearted if irritatingly dimwitted Gomer Pyle on the 1960s sitcoms “The Andy Griffith Show” and “Gomer Pyle: Usmc,” passed in late 2017 at 87 years old so it’s not too much of a surprise to celebrity property watchers his longtime oceanfront home on the affluent outskirts of Honolulu, Hawaii, has come for sale at $14.888 million. Depending on where one reads, the baritone-voiced Nabors, a frequent and popular guest on a slew of 1970s variety shows, traded in Hollywood, where he once presided over a grand Mediterranean mansion in the prestigious East Gate area of Bel Air, for Hawaii sometime in the 1960s or 1970s. Property records suggest he purchased this property in 1992 for $480,000.

Amy Hill has signed on for a recurring role with a series regular option in Magnum P.I, CBS’ reboot of the classic 1980s show, from Peter Lenkov, Davis Entertainment, CBS TV Studios and Universal TV Studios,
Co-written by Lenkov and Eric Guggenheim, the reboot follows Thomas Magnum (Jay Hernandez), a decorated ex-Navy Seal who, upon returning home from Afghanistan, repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator. With help from fellow vets Theodore “Tc” Calvin and Orville “Rick” Wright, as well as that of disavowed former Mi:6 agent Juliet Higgins, Magnum takes on the cases no one else will, helping those who have no one else to turn to.
Hill will play the charming and irreverent Kumu, the cultural curator and de facto “house mom” of Robin’s Nest. Whip-smart, she makes sure neither Magnum nor Higgins get away with anything on “her” property. But if they’re ever in need, Kumu is the first person to offer help from herself and her dozens of cousins, “tutus” (aunties) and neighbors all over Oahu. She’s the funny and tart voice of the islands.
Hill currently recurs on Crazy Ex Girlfriend, UnReal, Preacher and Mom. She’s also a regular on Just Add Magic, which is now streaming on Amazon Prime. As a voice actor, she’s been heard as recurring or regular voice characters on numerous animated series or films including American Dad, Lilo and Stitch (film and series), King of the Hill and HBO’s Happily Ever After. She’s repped by SMS Talent.
