Cars catch fire at Disneyland as black smoke bellows from Pixar lot, multiple vehicles damaged
A Toyota RAV4 caught fire inside Disneyland's Pixar Pals parking structure.
Local authorities tell EW they responded to an emergency call at around 9:47 a.m. local time.
As many as 12 cars may be damaged, EW has learned.Multiple cars were damaged Friday morning after an SUV caught fire inside Disneyland's Pixar Pals parking structure, local authorities tell Entertainment Weekly.
According to Anaheim Police and Fire Public Information Officer Sgt. Jacob Gallacher, fire crews responded to an emergency call at 9:47 a.m. local time. Upon arrival at the Disney property, they found a Toyota RAV4 ablaze on the fifth floor of the Pixar Pals structure, and the flames spread to an additional three vehicles after that.
Sgt. Gallacher says the fire was "extinguished as quickly as" crews could put water on it, but estimates that between 6-12 cars were damaged in total.
He further tells EW that "nobody was injured," but the structure — as well as the nearby Mickey & Friends parking structure — was temporarily closed to prevent ingress for anyone coming into the park.
Now, Sgt. Gallacher says that portions of the Pixar Pals structure have now reopened, and that the scene was turned back over to Disneyland control at around 12:00 p.m. local time.
Video circulating online shows black smoke billowing from the Pixar Pals parking structure, which is located on Disneyland property, but is not directly connected to the Disneyland theme park or the Disney California Adventure park.
EW has reached out to Disneyland representatives for comment.The fire comes days after a fire broke out at the France pavilion inside Walt Disney World's Epcot theme park in Florida, with the March blaze starting near a walk-in cooler in a backstage area not accessible to guests.
Video recorded and shared to TikTok during that incident shows English performer Peter Noone singing on stage at the park's America pavilion while smoke fills the area. The 77-year-old turns toward the blaze and exclaims, "France is on fire!" while the crowd chuckles at the observation, which came amid the park's Flower & Garden festival, an annual highly attended springtime event that draws major crowds to Epcot.

'The Summer I Turned Pretty' final season trailer reveals Jeremiah and Belly's engagement, Conrad's heartbreak
The battle for Belly's (Lola Tung) heart is alive and well in the final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty — and it's all leading to a wedding. The first trailer for the third and final season of Prime Video's adaptation of Jenny Han's beloved book trilogy is finally here, and it teases plenty of drama ahead for Belly and the Fisher brothers after both a long hiatus and a major time jump. But the biggest bombshell in the footage? Belly gets engaged to her current boyfriend Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), even though her first love Conrad (Christopher Briney) is still very much in her heart. "First loves are important," Belly says in the trailer, which features a mashup of Taylor Swift's "Red (Taylor's Version)" and "Daylight." "But they're not as important as lasts." The trailer begins with sweet shots of Belly and Jeremiah acting super couple-y now that they're at college together. And Conrad tells a woman all about his first and only love, Belly, while he's away in California. But while Belly tries to tell herself that Conrad is "the past" and Jeremiah is her "future" and "the one," the love triangle reignites as all three return to Cousins for a life-changing summer leading up to the wedding. Watch the full trailer below. According to the official synopsis, the final season picks up at "the end of her junior year in college," which is a departure from Han's final book in the series, We'll Always Have Summer, which is set two summers earlier. The author-showrunner previously told Entertainment Weekly that fans of her books should prepare for changes from the source material. "There are surprises," Han said. "And there are things that aren't exactly like the books." When the final season begins, Belly is happily still together with Jeremiah after choosing him over Conrad in the season 2 finale. While her future seems set, "some core-shaking events" bring Conrad back into her life, reigniting the feelings she long thought were buried. Belly will be forced to make a decision, once and for all, of which Fisher brother she wants to be with. "I feel like I'm doing my job if people are really fighting for their sides," Han previously told EW of the Team Conrad vs. Team Jeremiah shipper debate. But it all leads to what Han hopes is a "satisfying" conclusion in the series finale, no matter what "team" you root for."A successful love triangle is one where, no matter what happens, people are going to be devastated and heartbroken," Han warned. "Because if the answer feels really clear and easy, then there's no real conflict. No matter what you do, someone's going to be hurt by it." The final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty premieres Wednesday, July 16, with episodes rolling out weekly on Prime Video. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

London museum opens vast 'on-demand' storehouse to public
Imagine being able to visit a museum and examine up close thousand-year-old pottery, revel alone in jewellery from centuries past, or peer inside a Versace bag. Now London's V&A has launched a revolutionary new exhibition space, where visitors can choose from some 250,000 objects, order something they want to spend time looking at, and have it delivered to a room for a private viewing. Most museums have thousands of precious and historic items hidden away in their stores, which the public never gets to see or enjoy. But the V&A Storehouse, which opened on May 31 in a specially converted warehouse, has come up with a radical new concept. And it is totally free. "Museums should be and are for everybody ... the V&A's collection is for everybody. It belongs to everybody, and everyone should be able to have free, equitable, and meaningful access to it," said senior curator Georgia Haseldine. "So this is a world first, never has anyone been able to be invited freely, without having to book into the same space as a national collection, on this scale." One fifth of the museum's total collection is now available to be viewed and enjoyed in the four-storey building on the former site of the 2012 London Olympic Games. - No protective glass - "It's fantastic, it's so much better than an ordinary museum," enthused retired physics teacher Jane Bailey as she toured the floors. "I'm just really, really impressed by it. We've only just heard about it, but it's phenomenal." She was transfixed by the sight of the black and red drum kit which belonged to Keith Moon, from the band The Who, saying it would be great to be able to resuscitate the legendary drummer who died in 1978, to play a set for them. Jostling for space, side-by-side on shelves in a massive hanger which resembles a DIY commercial warehouse and stretches for more than 30 basketball courts, are everything from ceramics and tapestries, to paintings and toys from the Tudor period. There is even the whole 15th-century gilded wooden ceiling from the now-lost Torrijos Palace, and the Kaufmann Office, a panelled room which is the only complete Frank Lloyd Wright interior outside of the United States. Hanging on display is the stunning stage front cloth made for "Le Train Bleu" - a copy of a Pablo Picasso painting it was specially designed for the 1924 Ballets Russes production. At 12 metres, its huge size means it has rarely been seen since its stage debut. There is no protective glass. One of the first visitors to the Storehouse was Princess Catherine, a patron of the V&A and keen art lover, who took a tour on Tuesday. She described the collection as "eclectic" as she used the "order an object" system to look at a samples book from renowned 19th century English textiles designer William Morris as well as rolls of ornate textiles and a musical instrument. All the works are available to the public seven days a week, and can be reserved via an online booking system for a private viewing at a date and time of your choice. Members of staff are on hand paying close attention as visitors don purple gloves and satisfy their curiosity, spending time with the object of their choice. - 'Love letter' - It's a huge departure from the usual admonishment of "Don't touch!" found in most museums seeking to protect their objects from damage. Curator Haseldine acknowledged "we have certainly met with some levels of scepticism and worry". But she said once the idea was explained properly including "how meaningful it is to ... start to open up and give collections back to a community ...people just start to think creatively about how we can do this". American national Manuel Garza living in London said he thought the V&A Storehouse was "one of the most interesting spaces that just opened up here in London". Haseldine said "this building is a love letter to objects". "To be able to see around the back of an object, to be able to look inside a dress, to be able to see the bottom of a pot, all these things are how we really learn about our material culture," she added. Expert Kate Hill, who teaches cultural history at Lincoln University, said "it's pretty unusual for museums to open up their storehouses". "Most of the time they offer some 'behind the scene' tour, but their objets are not accessible. It's visible but not accessible." Visitor Jane Bailey said: "I would hope that this is the museum of the future, because some are very, very stuffy. We went to one recently and it was excruciating." adm/jkb/yad

'The Summer I Turned Pretty' star and creator talk returning for potential future seasons: 'Never say never'
The Summer I Turned Pretty is about to end with the upcoming third season, but the creator and star aren't ruling out a return to Cousins Beach after the series finale airs. As author/showrunner Jenny Han gears up for the release of the final 11 episodes of the Prime Video adaptation of her beloved book trilogy, she reveals that she's not opposed to returning to this story at some point down the line, either for a sequel series or revival picking up with Belly (Lola Tung) and the other characters years later. "Never say never — I never do," Han tells Entertainment Weekly. "If the story is there, then I'm there. As a storyteller, you just get hit with inspiration all the time. If I had a really great idea that I was excited by, that I wanted to keep telling the story, and if [the stars] were excited to do it, then I would be so pumped. It really depends on if I feel like there is more story to tell." Series star Tung is equally into the idea of catching up with her character Belly in the future, in whatever form Han wants to create. "I love working with this group of people and I love working with Jenny," Tung tells EW. "I think it's such a privilege to be any part of her cinematic universe, so if I was ever asked, I'm there." While the idea of potential future seasons of The Summer I Turned Pretty sounds great to the creator, Han admits the real draw for her would simply be to work with Tung and the rest of the cast members again — on any project. "I love working with all these guys, that's at the core of it," Han explains. "I would always welcome working with them on this, or something else. Who knows what the future holds?" The Summer I Turned Pretty follows the complicated love triangle of teen girl Isabel "Belly" Conklin and the two Fisher brothers, Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). The season 2 finale ended just like Han's second book in the trilogy, It's Not Summer Without You, with Belly ultimately ceasing her tumultuous will-they-won't-they dynamic with Conrad to be in a relationship with his younger brother/her best friend, Jeremiah. Season 3 will adapt the entirety of Han's last book in the series, We'll Always Have Summer, and will finally reveal which brother Belly ends up with (and whether it'll be the same ending as the book).Han feels "lucky" that Prime Video gave her the freedom to adapt her book trilogy into three seasons. "Amazon Prime has been very supportive of my vision, and I haven't felt a pressure to keep it going just to keep it going," Han says. "It's all about doing what's best for the story. And you obviously want to give the fans a really satisfying ending." For more on The Summer I Turned Pretty's final season, check out EW's full cover story. The final season premieres Wednesday, July 16, on Prime Video. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
