CHELSEA HANDLER asks the UNITED STATES SECRETARY OF ENERGY ERNEST MONIZ the key question... You need to trust your creatives. Give them room. Helicoptering and interfering as they work is the surest way to try their patience, kill their mojo and assure they leave... Sometimes you just want to kill your Dad... TIM SOMMER is teaching a class that I would take... Most people can't change. Hoping they'll act differently is foolish. Decide whether you can live or work with how they are or don't do it. If you can't you'll set yourself up for disappointment. And really now, who needs more of that?... Linear television networks today face seven key threats that continue to be overlooked, under-addressed or ignored. They don’t all apply to every network (nor are they equally menacing), but as a whole, they’re critical to both understanding and planning for the future of television. "7 Deadly Sins: Where Hollywood is Wrong about the Future of TV"... Music may have been the first media format to be upended by digital, but more than 15 years later, it's the only one still fixated on what was, not what can be. If the industry hopes to restore growth, both labels and artists will need to confront the changes brought about by the likes of iTunes and Spotify. Only then can a path forward be charted. "Less Money, Mo' Music & Lots of Problems: A Look at the Music Biz"... Happy Birthday to JASON WEISBERG (in MIAMI? Visit him at PAULIE GEE'S), JESSICA SCHELL, DEPELSHA THOMAS MCGRUDER, LOU BORRELLI and MATT WATKAJTYS. Belated to JEFF SHELL who turns "29".

In the Internet Age, Dolce and Gabbana Are Still Banning Critics, But Why?
Fashion designers banning publications from their shows is not merely a mythical practice of the past, nor is it a one-off act that occurs on a season-by-season basis. No, it was alive and well (maybe not well but alive) as of the Spring/Summer 2017 show season. Nicolas Ghesquiere (circa his Balenciaga creative directorship), Hedi Slimane, Giorgio Armani, Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la Renta, and Versace, among others, have been known to ban critics. Yet, the most well-known designers to employ this tactic are arguably the oft-controversial Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.
