Spotify slashes 200 more jobs after Harry, Meghan audio deal fails to pay off
Spotify laid off some 6% of its 6,600-strong workforce.As the streaming platform gears up to scale down its internal operations, redundancies are now officially reaching 2% of its entire workforce — a staggering number considering how recent the investment took place.In a blog post on the streaming platform, Spotify’s head of podcast business Sahar Elhabashi wrote, “We are expanding our partnership efforts with leading podcasters from across the globe with a tailored approach optimized for each show and creator.”“This fundamental pivot from a more uniform proposition will allow us to support the creator community better,” Elhabashi continued.“However, doing so requires adapting … As a result, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to make a strategic realignment of our group and reduce our global podcast vertical and other functions by approximately 200 people, or 2% of Spotify’s workforce.”The cuts prove that the company is failing to see the results it had hoped for in the podcast arena — despite pumping billions of dollars into having Markle and Joe Rogan’s podcasts on its platform.However, Markle’s “Archetypes” podcast has struggled to remain at the top since its debut in August 2022 as by November, the podcast slid down to number 22 in the charts.For his part, Rogan’s podcast suffered a series of controversies ranging from Covid-19 vaccine misinformation to being accused of using racial slurs and making antisemitic comments.In 2021, it was reported that Meghan and Harry received a cool $25 million from Spotify for singing on the dotted line for a lucrative audio deal.More recently, Markle was honored at the 48th annual Gracie Awards where she picked up a gong for her podcast — though she was not

Elliot Page reveals chilling transphobic attack outside LA hotel: ‘I’m going to f–king gay bash you, fa—t’
Los Angeles Times.“I’m going to f–king gay bash you, fa—t,” the man yelled, forcing the actor to bolt toward the store in fear.Employees at the Pink Dot escorted a terrified Page into the shop, but the man allegedly followed him and stood at the store’s doorway.“This is why I need a gun,” the maniac reportedly yelled at Page through the glass door.Page — whose deadname was Ellen Page — revealed he was transgender in 2020. Now, he says he no longer feels safe in Los Angeles.“Now when I’m in Los Angeles, I don’t feel comfortable like I used to going for walks,” The Canadian-born entertainer said.The ordeal may have shaken the actor, but he acknowledged that he has the privilege to stay in safer hotels and hire security if needed, unlike most people living in LA.“Doesn’t mean it’s not traumatic, but I have resources that, in every instance that is difficult, protect and can shield me from these things,” Page told the outlet.The “Juno” star’s recounting of the alleged verbal assault and threats comes in the wake of another story she recently shared in his upcoming memoir “Pageboy,” about when a “famous a–hole” told him being gay “doesn’t exist.”Page, who came out as gay in February 2014, claims that an unnamed A-list actor told him he was going to “f—k you to make you realize you aren’t gay,’” at a birthday party in Los Angeles shortly after coming out.He “purposely” did not name the accused high-profile celebrity but said they would “hear about this and know it’s him.”The actor added that another celebrity, whom he describes only as an “acquaintance,” insisted, “‘You aren’t gay.

Pete Davidson tells PETA to ‘suck my d–k’ over new dog in phone rant
obtained by TMZ.The “Saturday Night Live” alum shared that the dog was actually for his mother after the family dog, Henry, recently passed away at just 2 years old.He added that he’s “severely allergic” to dogs, which is why he had to get a cavapoo — a mixed breed between the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the poodle that’s hypoallergenic and considered a safe breed for allergy sufferers thanks to its low-shed coat that prevents excessive shedding, according to AZ Animals.“So why don’t you do your research before you f–king create news stories for people because you’re boring…” Davison said in the voicemail, saying that the statement was “uneducated and premature.”“F–k you and suck my d–k,” the comedian ended the phone call.In the original statement, PETA wrote that they hoped Davidson would “show some big heart energy” and adopt rather than shop in the future.“It’s tragic that Pete didn’t seek out a borough-born mutt from a city animal shelter, because a scrappy New Yorker with charm, personality and unconventional handsomeness could have been his perfect match,” Nachminovitch told TMZ Monday.But PETA doubled down, telling TMZ that there’s “no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog” and that he could have adopted the breed that he bought at an NYC pet store, which is something the “Bupkis” star didn’t know.Davidson told TMZ that he was unaware he could “adopt a specific hypoallergenic dog” and that he was specifically told “it wasn’t an option, and if it was, it was rare.”He also told the outlet in a statement that his reaction came out of his grief for the loss of Henry.“I haven’t seen my mom and sister cry like that in over 20 years. I was trying to cheer up my family,” Davidson said.
