Which makes the unexpected sometimes impossible to comprehend when it happens (and it does). And as artists, they often feel entitled to a certain amount of eccentricity and perfectionism, including, but not limited to, having their cake and eating it, too (metaphorically speaking).

Also please subscribe to The Ankler at TheAnkler.com for more podcasts and stories like these about the entertainment industry.Today's Ankler Hot Seat podcast welcomes back guest Howard Bragman, a crisis publicist and contributor to GMA who has handled the likes of Sharon Osbourne and Brett Ratner. On today's episode, Bragman joins hosts Janice Min, Richard Rushfield and Tatiana Siegel to discuss the looming tension Hollywood is facing over the likely dismantling of Roe v. Wade and the prospect of abortion being made illegal, or rights being drastically diminished in almost half of the country's states. In the days since a Supreme Court draft opinion leaked revealing a likely Roe rollback, everyone from Mark Ruffalo to Cher to Phoebe Bridgers has voiced their disgust. But in an age where Disney just went through the ringer over first inaction, then action, over Florida's Don't Say Gay bill, resulting in the swift exit of their top comms exec, a sense of fear among executives about how to approach this new political minefield is looming. Will the opprobrium of a town's talent, producers and executives amount to anything? Even though production and business is vast throughout entertainment in states likely to roll back rights — Louisiana, Texas, Florida, Arizona and more — Bragman predicts that the industry will likely stay quiet rather than boycott. “Hollywood has done a lot of saber-rattling in these states about gay rights issues and abortion issues and women's issues. Hollywood has done a lot of threatening, but very little action, to be honest. There's been very little actual punishment,” he notes. “So the question becomes: What happens when it's thrown back to the states and virtually half the states or half the population in the country decides that they don't want abortion… in all these states where they have huge investments and the people are gonna say, ‘Screw you. We voted. And it's our choice.' And I think the studios are gonna be forced to acquiesce to the power of the voters in those states.”The veteran Hollywood PR fixer also weighs in on the best advice he would give corporate clients on how to address the hot-button issue with staff, many of whom might be vocal and protest inaction by their C-suite. “I would empower them. I would have as much engagement with the women's groups, the LGBTQ groups as possible. Let 'em know what's going on,” he says. “Let 'em know the challenges you have as a corporation, let 'em know the responsibility you have that's financial, but also to your employees. And let 'em know the balancing act you have because I think there's a lot of wisdom in those groups, and there may be ways they can work together and come up with new ideas and new ways that can help both [employee and corporation], frankly.” Still, it's a difficult needle to thread. After all, even California isn't united. While the state is majority pro-choice, the state's populace has become increasingly in favor of greater abortion restrictions, according to a recent survey conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California. The study found that 52% of Latinos would like to see greater restrictions, for example. And Bragman foresees deeper divisions on the topic, which will make Hollywood's push for transgender bathroom rights in North Carolina and the Don't Say Gay brouhaha in Florida seem like “quaint times compared to the devastation that's coming down the road.”And if the abortion issue wasn't polarizing enough, the hosts also discuss the latest on the scorched-earth defamation trial that pits Johnny Depp against ex-wife Amber Heard. The testimony has been explosive (his and hers physical abuse allegations as well as the actress publicly accusing her ex of sexual assault for the first time). But will either party emerge from the slugfest with their careers intact? Notes Bragman, who calls their fight “mutual destruction”, “Somebody's gonna figure out a way to be in the Johnny Depp business. And as f** up as it sounds, I've seen so many times where crises like this will help a person like this.”Listen and subscribe to this podcast on Apple, Spotify or your favorite podcasting app, and remember to subscribe to The Ankler.If you aren't already a paying subscriber, we invite you to join our community of entertainment insiders and never miss another story or podcast.New on The AnklerGreat reads:Entertainment Strategy Guy explains why Hulu has a not-so-funny problem with comedy.The Dumpster Fire of the Vanities: The Met Gala was mere metaphor for all out-of-touch entertainment/media.A Star is Born heads to Broadway and Jurassic to China.

Today's Ankler Hot Seat podcast welcomes guest Howard Bragman, a crisis publicist who has handled the likes of Sharon Osbourne and Brett Ratner, joining hosts Janice Min, Richard Rushfield and Tatiana Siegel. On today's episode, Bragman discusses Slapgate and the absurdity of Smith's rush to the stage. “One of the great skill sets of being a star in Hollywood is having a thick skin. And $20 million a movie should buy you a lot of armor to have a very thick skin,” said Bragman. The veteran publicist also weighed in on why Rock's joke should have been addressed by Jada Pinkett Smith, the intended target and not her husband. “Jada has her own talk show,” Bragman continued. “She's a very powerful, intelligent, respected woman. Couldn't she have stood up for herself or given him the finger, something? She gave him a bit of a sneer. Could she have not given him the finger and made her point.”The hosts also discuss what the victory of Apple TV+'s CODA over Power of the Dog and Don't Look Up (with Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio) says about stardom in Hollywood today. “Last night also seemed like the death of the movie star,” said Min. “You had Netflix pay…for Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence for Don't Look Up and Power of the Dog certainly had like a top flight cast with Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, and Jane Campion as the director. And here comes this cast with CODA…not what people equate with A-list Hollywood, right?” Siegel concurred: “Last night seemed to be the death of the movie star, the movie business and maybe comedy as we know it in the future.”Siegel also discussed the Twitter threads speculating about Will Smith and Scientology, citing a thread about “a Scientology course that involves slapping physically humiliating fellow Scientologists in a group setting as a means of exerting superiority.” Speaking of which, Bragman was asked if The Slap is Smith's career equivalent of Tom Cruise's couch-jumping, a moment that will define a career before and after. Said Bragman: “It kind of is. But Tom got his s**t back together because Tom got his s**t back together. We'll see where it will takes this. Now, this could be a wake up call.”The hosts also tackle the controversy around Jay-Z's Oscar afterparty, held at Los Angeles's iconic Chateau Marmont, which carried on as planned despite guests having to cross a picket line of aggrieved former employees, some who say they were subjected to sexual harassment, including from owner Andre Balazs (which he has denied) and racial discrimination.Kurt Pedersen, who is co-president of the Chateau Marmont union, joined the Hot Seat to give his take from the picket line: “There was a lot of embarrassment,” Pedersen said of the celebrities who crossed the line including Kim Kardashian, Zoe Kravitz, Jon Hamm and best supporting actor winner Troy Kotsur. “First we should applaud those who didn't go. I mean, most of the folks who received Oscars were not at that party last night.”New on The Ankler:The Glossy on the end of fun on the red carpet.The death spiral of Bob I and Bob II in What about Bobs?Why did Mark Burnett try to court Putin for a reality show and what does Amazon think?Pre-Oscar Pods: Jay-Z's Afterparty Debacle, and that uncensored Bruce Vilanch conversation everyone is talking about.The question no one wants to ask except ESG: Are Oscar Films Good Business Strategy?The Decline and Fall of Oscar: A timeline of mishaps, mishegas and the bad choices that have become an annual Academy ritual.Never miss another podcast or story like this.

I spoke incorrectly referencing the USNS MERCY. That hospital ship was enroute to Los Angeles. The hospital ship berthing in New York was the USNS COMFORT. Here is more information about the history of the USNS COMFORT. Laura mentioned turning off the water when brushing teeth. I found this statistic about turning off the faucet: two gallons of water flow from a faucet each minute. Something as simple as turning off the water while brushing your teeth can save up to three or four gallons of water per person per day. That’s more than 1,000 gallons of water per year or enough for almost 100 four-minute showers. We had a brief confused conversation about numerous authors. Iwas referencing Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History and it’s episodes on higher education. I found this article. What followed was a list of other authors and books while I tried to explain Gladwell to Laura. These included Tim Ferris, author of The 4 Hour Work Week and then Simon Sinek, author of Start with Why which I incorrectly cited as The Power of Why and graduate of Northern Valley Regional High School like Laura and myself Finally Laura and I agreed she was referencing Eckhart Tolle, the author of Power of Now. Laura was surprised that the Bowery Ballroom was listing events rescheduled from May 18 forward. As the COVID-19 pandemic is a evolving situation, here is a link to the Bowery Ballroom website and calendar of events. Laura used the story of DJ D-Nice and his evolving free virtual dance floor parties “Club Quarantine” as an example of the power of online communities and how people need relief from the stress of the pandemic. Here is a great summary of the story. I gave a shout out to Virginia Beach Recording Arts, where the Corporate Thought podcasts are edited. I also mentioned the newly redesigned Corporate Thought Website. Laura spoke reverently of Howard Bragman. This is his company. Early in her career, Laura worked for Former US Senator and NY Knick, Bill Bradley. Laura well stated “Age is only a number and that number doesn’t matter”. I found an article demonstrating just that. I spoke of his long term desire to achieve Inbox Zero nirvana. Here is an article on how to achieve it. Laura used to host a sports podcast called Bullpen Betty. We discussed the idea of a shortened season for major league baseball or possibly a cancelled season. There was a great article released today on the statistical advantages of a shortened season. Laura spoke of her friend, sportscaster, Roger Clark. Here was a short interview I found with him.

In March of 2019, our country was riveted by the discovery that dozens of wealthy parents, including two high profile celebrities, had been caught bribing college undergraduate admissions departments in order to get their child into elite colleges. To date, 51 people have been charged with conspiracy and some, like actress Felicity Huffman, have gone to jail. In today’s episode, Melissa talks to civil rights attorney Lisa Bloom known for representing high profile sexual harassment cases, PR guru and crisis manager Howard Bragman, Independent College Consultant Sara Haberson, writer and comedian Larry Amoros and Melissa’s trusted assistant Sabrina Miller. Don’t miss this entertaining and interesting conversation!

Hollywood publicist, crisis manager and author Howard Bragman joins Tim to talk about what it’s like to handle public relations for celebrities, particularly when those celebrities find themselves at the center of controversy. For decades, Howard has been the go-to guy in Los Angeles and nationwide for celebrity crisis management. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shapingopinion/Hollywood_Confidential_auphonic.mp3   The Hollywood publicist of old was both a staple and a cliché at the same time. In the black and white movie era where moguls ran the Hollywood studios, he was a fast-talking guy who didn’t care what his celebrity clients do, so long as they earned their share of headlines doing it. There was a saying from that time, “It doesn’t matter what they say in the newspapers, as long as they spell my name right.” Those days are long gone if they ever were.  Today’s celebrity public relations pro operates in a totally different landscape. Celebrities aren’t people, they’re brands. But perhaps most importantly, the media environment has shifted so dramatically that the very definition of celebrity has changed. You still have sports celebrities, movie stars and television stars. But you also have new kinds of celebrities. Reality TV stars, YouTube sensations, even politicians and ex-politicians who have found ways to cash in on celebrity status once they’re out of office. But there are two sides to that coin. While there is much to gain by being a celebrity, there is much to lose, too. Howard Bragman knows better than most what it’s like to be a Hollywood publicist and more importantly, a celebrity crisis manager.

We're pleased to announce the 11th episode of The Fame Fatale! This particular edition is fed by conspiracy-minded readers eager to know whether stars are secretly manipulating the Intertubes with occult online reputation-scrubbing techniques.
