‘Good Morning America' leaving Times Square studio after 25-plus years
NEW YORK — Viewers of 'Good Morning America: GMA' will be waking up to something new as early as next week, with the long-running morning show starting to wrap up its 25-year-plus run in Times Square on Monday. While the co-anchors kicked off their final week in the studio by reflecting on their first days on set, the decision to move from the 'crossroads of the world' was first announced in October 2023 as part of ABC News' 'strategic' plans to centralize the operation. 'Good Morning America is defined by the strength of our team in front of and behind the camera, quality of our reporting, and the long, trusted relationship with our viewers,' a spokesperson said at the time, Deadline reported. 'Moving all ABC News teams to our new state-of-the-art building was a strategic decision that will allow for more collaboration and innovation.' The talk show is moving to the new Walt Disney Company's 22-story New York City headquarters, located at 7 Hudson Square — also known as the Robert A. Iger Building — in lower Manhattan near the West Side Highway. Co-anchor Michael Strahan revealed live on Monday that 'GMA' will begin broadcasting from the new space during the week of June 16. The former NFL star and bestselling author reflected how 'overwhelming' it was when he first began inhabiting the Times Square studios when he joined the team full-time in 2016. 'The bright lights, the personality, the energy, how intimidated I was when I walked through the door. A lot of thoughts were going through my mind,' he said. Robin Roberts, who's been a 'GMA' anchor since 2005, also shared that 'I remember thinking, I'm a little girl from Mississippi and I'm working at Times Square,' recalling spending her first day in the new digs in 1999 interviewing tennis star Serena Williams after she won her first U.S. Open and Grand Slam title. 'Our studio is brand-spanking-new, and she comes in, and she talks with us,' she recalled. 'She had a little dog. I think her dog's name was Jackie. Jackie's all up in my face. But I just remember the energy and just looking around, going, 'This is our home?' All these years later, it still feels that way.' Before moving to Times Square, across the street from MTV studios, 'Good Morning America' was broadcast from the ABC News headquarters in Lincoln Square on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Despite the move, the show will go on for GMA's summer concert series. New Kids on the Block will kick off the star-studded line-up playing the final show in Times Square. After a few concerts in different cities, Colombian singer Manuel Turizo will become the first artist to perform at the new studio on Aug. 1. Punk-rock band Good Charlotte, trailblazing Latin pop singer Gloria Estefan, country music crooner Dierks Bentley and R&B artist Teyana Taylor are also scheduled for the new digs.

I Tried Shakira's New Hair Line Isima & It Actually Helped My Itchy Scalp
I'm often terrified of trying new hair products. I have scalp psoriasis, and many formulas leave my skin painfully (and embarrassingly) red, flaky, and itchy. But when I heard Shakira's new haircare line, Isima, included products specifically for parched, sensitive scalps, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and give it a try. I know what you're thinking, do we need another celebrity beauty line? I thought the same thing. But this one kind of made sense. For years, the Colombian musical icon has been candid about her own hair struggles, from damage due to constant styling and coloring to scalp issues brought on by the intense demands of life in the spotlight. While Shakira may not be a trichologist herself, I was confident she'd collaborate with the right experts to create something that works for the both of us. The performance-focused brand offers a comprehensive range of products developed to meet the diverse needs of Latina hair, which, of course, includes all colors, textures, and patterns. The line features eight products, including moisturizing shampoos and conditioners, exfoliating scalp scrubs and serums, a curl cream playfully named Curls Don't Lie, a deeply reparative peptide hair mask, and a featherlight hair oil that softens without heaviness. At the core of every formula is the brand's TriModal Method, a proprietary approach grounded in biotrichology that simultaneously supports the scalp, strengthens the inner hair shaft (cortex), and protects the outer layer (cuticle). ' "I feel like I have my hair more under control and can wear it more natural and be organic about it. I don't have to be so exposed to hair dryers and curling irons and flat irons. I can just let it be." shakira ' "I'm really happy where I am right now with my hair, especially with my products from Isima," Shakira told Refinery29 Somos. "I feel like I have my hair more under control and can wear it more natural and be organic about it. I don't have to be so exposed to hair dryers and curling irons and flat irons. I can just let it be." Since starting Isima a week ago, I have also just let my hair just be: I've been air drying not using any styling tools. While the line is inclusive of various hair types, many of the formulas cater to those with hair like Shakira's: wavy to curl and often dry or damaged from years of bleaching, dyeing, and heat styling. My hair, by contrast, is straight and virgin, but I still found plenty to love. I started with Iconic, a densifying scalp serum, applying about four full drops directly to my scalp and massaging it in with a soft-bristled scrubber. Ten minutes later, I shampooed with Reset, a clarifying cleanser, then followed with Suavísima, a rich, hydrating conditioner. Out of the shower, I sealed it all in with All In, a restorative leave-in treatment. The full routine left my hair feeling clarified and refreshed and, best of all, never greasy or weighed down. If I had one complaint about the products I used, it's the scent. While the line is marketed as having a soft, floral fragrance, it leaned more toward the territory of a high school boyfriend's cheap cologne. It's not offensive enough to stop me from using the products, but it's definitely not the signature scent I'd like to carry in my hair all day. ' "Isima meets people's complex hair needs. It's about innovation, freedom, and science." shakira ' But what's most important is that "Isima meets people's complex hair needs," as Shakira says. "It's about innovation, freedom, and science." It's also for the girls who want to give the most without doing the most. The name Isima is inspired by the Spanish word "ísima," a suffix used to emphasize the elevated, the best, and the most. It captures Shakira's vision of creating products that don't just work, but also elevate hair to its softest, healthiest, and fullest state. Rooted in both Latin American language and culture, the name also reflects the brand's commitment to sourcing powerful, heritage-rich ingredients from across the region, honoring beauty rituals passed down through generations, and reimagining them through modern science. The Somos team was among the first to try Isima. Each of us has different hair types and hair concerns. Here's what we can say about the products. Reset Clarifying Shampoo, $32 Think of this as your hair's reset button. Designed to gently lift away buildup from product, oil, and city grime, this shampoo brings your scalp back to balance without leaving your strands dry or stripped. It's a great weekly refresh, especially if you're layering on styling products or dry shampoo. Riquísima Hydrating Shampoo, $32 This one's a rich, lathering shampoo made for hair that craves moisture. It delivers a nourishing cleanse that leaves strands softer, smoother, and noticeably more manageable. Suavísima Hydrating Conditioner, $32 If your ends feel brittle, this conditioner is a game-changer. Thick and creamy but not heavy, it helps detangle, soften, and bring life back to dull or overworked strands. Superbomba Triple Peptide Hair Mask, $38 Superbomba is the hero of the line. This reparative mask leaves your hair feeling like silk. It's especially great for hair that's been through heat styling, coloring, or just general neglect. Leave it on while you answer emails or binge your latest show. It's worth giving it the extra minutes. Iconic Densifying Scalp Serum, $42 This leave-on scalp treatment is all about supporting fuller, healthier-looking hair. It's lightweight, non-greasy, and easy to apply. Just massage a few drops into your scalp. With continued use, it aims to bring volume and strength from the root up. We haven't used it long enough to see those kinds of results, but it has definitely cleared build-up on our scalps, so things are off to a good start. This is a do-it-all leave-in that smooths, softens, detangles, and protects without leaving your hair feeling coated or heavy. It's ideal for busy mornings or low-maintenance styling days, and it helps keep your hair strong and silky, whether you're heat styling or air drying. This styling cream brings definition, bounce, and hold to textured hair. It's ideal for waves, curls, or coils that need moisture and structure. Whether you're going for soft definition or a more sculpted look, this product gets your curls where you want them. Delicia Reparative Hair Oil, $36 This is a lightweight, high-shine oil that works just as well for frizz control as it does for adding a silky finish. It smooths ends, adds polish, and gives your hair that glossy, just-styled look, minus the grease. Note: a little goes a long way.

Gkids Acquires Multiple Territories For Japanese Action Sci-Fi Animated Feature ‘All You Need Is Kill'
EXCLUSIVE: Gkids has acquired multiple territories for Japanese animated action sci-fi drama All You Need Is Kill, including for North America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. The movie is based on the eponymous best-selling novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka which also inspired Doug Liman's 2014 live-action adaptation Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. More from Deadline Laika Signs 'Corpse Bride' & 'Frankenweenie' Screenwriter John August To Write Stop-Motion Teen Missing Mother Drama For Pete Candeland 'The Cat In The Hat' Team Defend Warners' Decision To Shelve 'Coyote Vs. Acme': "We Are Lucky To Do Art In Our Profession But We Can't Lock Ourselves In A Basement" 'Arcane' Showrunner Christian Linke On Exploring Character Relationships & Artistic "Extremes" For Season 2 The directorial debut of Kenichiro Akimoto, with a script written by Yuichiro Kido, the new animated adaptation world premiered at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival earlier this week in the Midnight Specials section. All You Need Is Kill is produced by Warner Bros. Japan with animation production by celebrated Japanese animation house Studio 4°C (Tekkonkinkreet, Mind Game). Studio 4°C, which is also at Annecy this year with Yasuhiro Aoki's drama ChaO in the main competition, will be hosting a studio presentation at the festival on Friday, in the presence of the directors and producers for both titles. Set in the near future, All You Need Is Kill follows the story of Rita, a resourceful but isolated young woman volunteering to help rebuild Japan after the mysterious appearance of a massive alien flower known as 'Darol.' When Darol unexpectedly erupts in a deadly event, unleashing monstrous creatures that decimate the population, Rita is caught in the destruction—and killed. But then she wakes up again. And again. Caught in an endless time loop, Rita must navigate the trauma and repetition of death until she crosses paths with Keiji, a shy young man trapped in the same cycle. Together, they fight to break free from the loop and find meaning in the chaos around them. 'With All You Need Is Kill, I wanted to convey that even in the endless loop of life, we can still make discoveries and grow, depending on how we perceive the situation,' said Akimoto. 'All You Need Is Kill is a standout work that explores time, identity, and survival with breathtaking animation and a powerful emotional core,' said Gkids President Dave Jesteadt. 'The story has remained so meaningful for years because it captures something essential about the human condition, and the need to keep moving forward. Director Akimoto has created a brilliant new take that we are sure fans will love.' Gkids and Studio 4°C have previously collaborated on releases for Mind Game, Children of the Sea, while Gkids also recently acquired ChaO, and several other celebrated titles. Further details on the release will be announced at a later date. The deal was negotiated between GKIDS' Director of Acquisitions and Development Rodney Uhler, and Warner Bros. Japan.
