Haley Joel Osment ordered to AA, therapy after alleged public drunkenness at ski resort
Haley Joel Osment must commit to six months of court-mandated Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and therapy after he was arrested earlier this year for alleged public drunkenness and cocaine possession. The 'Sixth Sense' and 'Blink Twice' actor, 37, was arraigned Monday in Mono County, Calif. The Times confirmed that a judge granted the former child actor's request for a one-year diversion. Osment, older brother of 'Young Sheldon' alumna Emily Osment, will be cleared of his charges if he completes the terms of diversion: at least 3 AA meetings per week and at least two meetings with his therapist for the next six months. He must also 'obey all laws,' Mono County District Attorney David Anderson said in a statement to The Times on Tuesday. 'If he does not complete diversion, the criminal proceedings will be reinstated,' Anderson said. A representative for the actor did not immediately respond on Tuesday to The Times' request for comment. Osment, also known for lending his voice to the popular 'Kingdom Hearts' video game franchise, was arrested April 8 on suspicion of public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance at the popular Mammoth Mountain ski resort. The Mono County district attorney's office said at the time it charged the 'Spoils of Babylon' actor with two misdemeanors: disorderly conduct involving alcohol and possession. Law enforcement responded to a call about an allegedly intoxicated individual at the ski resort, TMZ reported in April. The website published video of Osment, wearing his ski helmet backward, allegedly holding up the line for a ski lift. Frustrated resort guests urged Osment to 'get out of the line,' but he brushed off their demands and refused to follow a crew member who tried to escort him to the side, according to the video. Adding to his troubles, Osment berated his arresting officer, claiming 'I've been kidnapped by a f— Nazi' and hurling an antisemitic slur at the officer. After the footage surfaced, Osment said in a statement that he was 'absolutely horrified by my behavior ... in the throes of a blackout.' 'From the bottom of my heart, I apologize to absolutely everyone that this hurts. What came out of my mouth was nonsensical garbage — I've let the Jewish community down and it devastates me,' he added at the time. 'I don't ask for anyone's forgiveness, but I promise to atone for my terrible mistake.' Anderson said in his statement that his office 'did not believe diversion was appropriate and objected' to Osment's request, citing the actor's prior DUI conviction and his comments to the officer. Ultimately, a judge decided in Osment's favor. Osment is next due in court Jan. 5, 2026, for a review of his diversion compliance. Before then, he is set to appear in Season 2 of Netflix's hit series 'Wednesday.' The streaming giant revealed his serial killer role during its Tudum fan event on Saturday in Inglewood.

Hollywood star Adria Arjona: Acting school save me
Adria Arjona feels she's been "saved" by acting school. The 33-year-old actress studied at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City during her teenage years, and Adria relished the experience, as she learned to "express" herself through acting. The film star told Collider: "Acting school kind of saved me. "I had a pretty rough upbringing. There were parts there that were not the happiest, and acting really came in and saved me and taught me how to express myself through what I do." Adria was initially unsure what she wanted to do in her career. However, her dad thought she was perfectly suited to acting. The Hollywood star shared: "Every movie made me want to be something else or learn a new task. One day, my dad was like, 'I don't know exactly what you think you're going to be, but I think you might be an actor.'" Adria has starred in a host of high-profile projects in recent years, including 'Hit Man', 'Blink Twice' and 'Pacific Rim Uprising'. And the actress has always embraced the opportunity to "play different characters" on screen. She explained: "Every job you take, you're telling a story to the world of the kind of artist that you are, so you have to stick to your guns and be really truthful to what you believe in. "It's mostly, also, for me, to not be bored, right? To play different characters and to show the world that I'm more than just one thing." Despite this, Adria previously admitted that she'd like to be more "strategic" in her career decisions. She told Empire: "I wish I was more of a strategic actor when it comes to making choices. But I'm just more excited by the women that I get to embody." Adria starred alongside Glen Powell in the 2023 rom-com 'Hit Man', and the actress recalled quickly developing a strong "chemistry" with her co-star. Speaking about her initial meeting with Glen, Adria told Empire: "It was supposed to be a one-hour meeting. We ended up talking for five hours. "Chemistry comes from trust, and I think from our first meeting I just knew I could trust [Glen]. We created a space for us to play and be weird and sexy and funny." 'Hit Man' was directed by acclaimed filmmaker Richard Linklater, whose previous directing credits include 'Boyhood', 'School of Rock', and 'Everybody Wants Some!!'. And Adria still remembers feeling anxious about meeting the filmmaker for the first time. Recalling details of their first-ever Zoom call, the movie star shared: "My hands were sweaty. I was really trying to play it cool and that lasted for about ten minutes."

Zoë Kravitz to Direct New Sony Film HOW TO SAVE A MARRIAGE with Robert Pattinson Producing — GeekTyrant
Zoë Kravitz is gearing up for her next move behind the camera. After making waves with her directorial debut Blink Twice , Kravitz is now in talks to direct How to Save a Marriage for Sony Pictures. The film is still early in development, and the script comes from Ross Evans, who will also executive produce. Meanwhile, Robert Pattinson is stepping in as a producer through his Icki Eneo Arlo banner with partner Brighton McCloskey, alongside Geoff Shaevitz and Evan Silverberg of Entertainment 360. No word yet on whether Pattinson will appear in the film, but as of now, he's strictly on the producing side. Plot details are being kept under wraps, but insiders are hinting at a tone that echoes the dark, edgy vibes of Blink Twice , which might explain why Kravitz is being eyed to direct. Her debut film was a slick, surreal thriller starring Naomi Ackie and Channing Tatum, and it earned her a round of praise. The success of that project clearly made an impression. Sony reportedly jumped on How to Save a Marriage as soon as it hit the market last year, in a post-strike atmosphere where studios were eager to lock in buzzy, high-profile projects. This one checked a lot of boxes with an original script, proven director, A-list talent behind the scenes. Source: Deadline
