  • Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields Raises $10 Million for Women-Focused Nonprofits

    Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields Raises $10 Million for Women-Focused Nonprofits

    Olivia Rodrigo‘s Daisy Chain Fields is donating $10 million to its nonprofit partners, the superstar revealed Friday during a press conference ahead of Saturday’s inaugural festival.

    “Daisy Chain Fields was created to celebrate the power of what can happen when we come together to support one another,” Rodrigo said Friday, flanked by executives from the 10 nonprofits. “The organizations we’ve partnered with are doing incredibly important work every single day in the U.S. and globally. I’m so grateful to every person who bought a ticket, every artist who waived their fee, every sponsor for signing onto a brand new festival and every donation that helped get to $10 million dollars to support women and girls. I can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow.”

    The $10 million will be dispersed across 10 different groups whose missions range from reproductive health advocacy and resources for mothers to support for survivors of gender violence and abuse. The full list of nonprofits are Baby2Baby, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Center for Reproductive Rights, FreeFrom, Jhpiego, John Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health, National Domestic Workers Alliance, National Institute for Reproductive Health, National Women’s Law Center and Planned Parenthood.

    Rodrigo first announced Daisy Chain Fields back in June, calling the event “a festival founded on the belief that joy, community and creativity can inspire meaningful change.” Inspired by the Lilith Fair music festivals of the ’90s and 2000s, the festival will feature the likes of Rodrigo, Chappell Roan, Mitski, Doechii, Bikini Kill, the Breeders, Garbage, Eli, Quiet Light, Rachel Chinouriri, Devon Again and Not For Radio.

    Stevie Nicks, Karen O and Lilith Fair founder Sarah McLachlan are listed as special guests. Katseye was originally on the lineup as well, though the group announced Thursday that they had to pull out after Megan said she sprained her ankle during a rehearsal.

    “The woman performing tomorrow and those sitting beside me today inspire me so much,” Rodrigo said Friday. “They’ve taught me a lot about how we are all stronger when we come together and support one another. That’s why I fell in love with the name Daisy Chain. It served as a reminder of how individual parts can come together to create something strong and unbreakable.”

  • Shelley Fabares’ Cause of Death Revealed

    Shelley Fabares’ Cause of Death Revealed

    Shelley Fabares’ cause of death has been revealed.

    The actress, who starred in Coach and The Donna Reed Show among other TV series and films, died Saturday after a brief illness. She was 82.

    Fabares died of pneumonia, her family revealed Thursday to People and other outlets. She had previously been diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis. And she had a liver transplant in October 2000 after spending nearly two years on the waiting list to receive one.

    “To her family and friends, Shelley was a source of love, strength, laughter and comfort,” Fabares’ family said in a statement announcing her death. “She was a devoted wife, cherished stepmother, daughter, sister, niece, aunt, family member and loyal friend whose warmth, generosity, humor and grace made an enduring difference in the lives of everyone who knew her. She had a remarkable ability to make people feel welcomed, valued and cared for.”

    Fabares, whose survivors include her husband, M*A*S*H actor Mike Farrell, played wholesome daughter Mary Stone on The Donna Reed Show, which aired from 1958-1966 on ABC. She went on to star opposite Elvis Presley in three movies (1965’s Girl Happy, 1966’s Spinout and 1967’s Clambake) and star alongside James Caan in the 1971 TV film Brian’s Song. And, during her time on Donna Reed, she recorded a version of “Johnny Angel” that hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1962.

    She later starred in Coach as the TV newscaster wife of Craig T. Nelson’s college football coach. She earned two Emmy nominations for her role on the ABC comedy, which ran for eight seasons from 1989-1997.

    Her other credits include roles on the original One Day at a Time in the late ’70s and ’80s, 1976-1977’s The Practice with Danny Thomas, Highcliffe Manor and Forever Fernwood.

  • ‘Coyote vs. Acme’ Star Will Forte, Director Celebrate Film Finally Hitting Theaters After Being Shelved by Warner Bros.: “Proof Movies Don’t Just Go Away”

    ‘Coyote vs. Acme’ Star Will Forte, Director Celebrate Film Finally Hitting Theaters After Being Shelved by Warner Bros.: “Proof Movies Don’t Just Go Away”

    The time has finally come: Coyote vs. Acme is now playing in theaters.

    To celebrate the film’s official release day, director Dave Green shared a thank-you letter on social media, writing in part, “COYOTE VS. ACME IS FINALLY, GLORIOUSLY, IN THEATERS NOW. Which means one thing. WE WON. You can go see this movie. In a theater. In your favorite seat. With your favorite snacks. With your favorite people. You can head into a dark room and laugh with strangers. Together. Congratulations to everyone who made this happen.”

    Coyote vs. Acme, a hybrid live-action and animated movie set in the Looney Tunes universe, follows Wile E. Coyote as he sues the Acme Corporation after its products repeatedly fail him in his pursuit of the Road Runner. The film stars Will Forte, John Cena, Lana Condor, Eric Bauza and Martha Kelly.

    The film’s journey to theaters has been anything but typical. The Hollywood Reporter exclusively reported in November 2023 that Warner Bros. had shelved Coyote vs. Acme after the movie was completed. The project had been in development at the studio for years and was originally intended as an HBO Max streaming original before Warner Bros. ultimately decided not to release it.

    At the time, Warner Bros. said the decision came as the studio shifted its global strategy to focus on theatrical releases following the relaunch of Warner Bros. Pictures Animation. The studio also planned to take an estimated $30 million tax write-off by shelving the approximately $70 million movie, according to reports.

    The decision sparked widespread backlash from fans, filmmakers and the film’s stars, who continued to publicly advocate for the movie’s release.

    In March 2025, Ketchup Entertainment acquired the worldwide distribution rights to Coyote vs. Acme from Warner Bros., giving the film a path to a theatrical release. The deal was reportedly valued at around $50 million.

    Green went on to explain why the film’s theatrical release is a “victory.”

    “It’s a record of the cast and crew, post, prep and animation teams who poured so much love and passion into it over years and years,” he wrote. “It’s shared, permanently, with the audience who fought so hard for its survival. Your fight is the reason this film finally made it to the big screen. Thank you @ketchupentertainment for hearing the audience. We’re so grateful that you did.”

    “This is a celebration, it’s proof that movies don’t just go away. We make work so it can be seen and shared — that’s the whole reason we do what we do. Persistence and resilience have truly won the day. Enjoy Coyote vs. Acme on the big screen. Where it was always meant to be seen!” Green concluded his letter.

    Forte took to X on Friday to reply to Green’s letter, writing, “Beautifully put, Dave.” He also shared a video thanking people for their efforts to push for the movie’s release and explaining how its messages correlate with the film’s journey.

    “It’s about hope and determination. It’s about fighting injustice, and it’s about the importance of friendship and the importance of community. And that last one really strikes a chord because we went through some weird times with this movie, and it is only because of the support of the community that we’re here today, seeing this movie,” Forte said. “You guys lifted us up on your shoulders and just fought and fought for this movie. Most of you, without even having seen it. So I am forever thankful, and just want you to know that I’m so excited for you to see this because I think you’re going to see that it was worth the fight.”

    In THR‘s profile of Green, published earlier this month, DC Studios co-head James Gunn, who produced the feature and worked on the story, also reflected on Coyote vs. Acme‘s journey.

    “Dave was a great guy throughout the ups and downs. He was never overly bitter and negative, although a little bit of bitterness and negativity was understandable in the given circumstances,” he said. “However, I think you see, when people show true character in the face of adversity, the world rises up to meet them. And in this case, it did — Coyote vs. Acme being saved is because of Dave’s character and because he made a great movie too powerful to be buried. And gosh, perseverance is kind of what Wile E. and the movie are all about.”

  • Nashville Airport Could Be Renamed for Dolly Parton, Tennessee Governor Announces

    Nashville Airport Could Be Renamed for Dolly Parton, Tennessee Governor Announces

    Country music icon, actress and philanthropist Dolly Parton dedicated her life to giving back to her home state of Tennessee, and now, three days after her death, her state is ready to give back to her, renewing an earlier proposal to rename the Nashville International Airport in her honor. 

    Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee and the Nashville International Airport announced in a joint statement on Friday their intentions to change the name of the airport. 

    “Dolly Parton’s extraordinary life is forever woven into the fabric of our state,” Lee said in a statement. “At a place where Tennessee welcomes the world, it is fitting that Nashville International Airport would bear the name of our state’s favorite daughter and greet travelers with the enduring legacy of Dolly’s music, generosity, faith and kindness.”

    According to the statement, Parton’s team supports the change and is “touched by the idea and open to continuing the conversation.” With her Dollywood Foundation and Imagination Library, Parton’s profound influence on Tennessee and the country is widely recognized. 

    The name change was first proposed last year when a petition was started in the wake of a proposal to rename the airport for President Trump. The number of signatures on the petition exploded after her death.

    “Dolly’s remarkable legacy reminds us that what makes Nashville special is our ability to welcome people from every walk of life,” Doug Kreulen, president and CEO of Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority said. “She understood that dignity, kindness and opportunity should never be defined by where you come from or your socioeconomic status.”

    Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell expressed his support on social media, writing, “Dolly was in the process of working with us on a remarkable hotel and museum — SongTeller — that she called her love letter to Nashville. Now it’s our turn to share a love letter to Dolly — by renaming Nashville International Airport to Dolly Parton International Airport in Nashville.”

    The Metro Nashville Airport Authority’s (MNAA) current naming policy and Lee’s proposal to rename the airport will be discussed at MNAA’s meeting on Sept. 17. 

    Nashville International Airport currently uses the airport code BNA, which stands for Berry Field Nashville Airport. The facility takes its name from World War I and World War II U.S. Army veteran Col. Harry Smith Berry, a Tennessee native who helped establish the airfield.

  • 12 Years Later, Bitcoin Remembers the Man Who Got There First

    12 Years Later, Bitcoin Remembers the Man Who Got There First

    A Signature Before Bitcoin Had a Price

    Before bitcoin had a massive price tag attached to it, it had its first true recipient. On January 12, 2009, Finney became the first person to receive a bitcoin transaction, when Satoshi Nakamoto sent him 10 $BTC in what is now recognized as the moment digital cash left the whiteboard and became a working network.

    That said, Finney was not some bystander who got lucky but a tech veteran who had already spent decades building the tools Bitcoin would eventually lean on. In the early 1990s, he was an active voice on various cypherpunk mailing lists, the same community of coders and privacy advocates whose ideas fed into Bitcoin’s design.

    He later became the second employee hired by Phil Zimmermann at PGP Corporation, the company behind Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) encryption software, and worked there as a key contributor until his retirement in 2011.

    Moreover, in 2004, years before Bitcoin existed, Finney built Reusable Proofs of Work (RPoW), an early prototype cryptocurrency built on Hashcash that proved out concepts Bitcoin would later formalize.

    A Fight He Didn’t Step Away From

    Finney disclosed his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis publicly in October 2009, less than a year after receiving that first bitcoin transaction. The disease is progressive and attacks the nerve cells that control muscle movement.

    Finney wrote in March 2013 that he had become “essentially paralyzed,” yet he kept engaging with Bitcoin’s early community through the disease’s advancing stages. When he was declared legally dead on August 28, 2014, in Phoenix, Arizona, at age 58, his family carried out cryopreservation arrangements with the Alcor Life Extension Foundation that had been made years in advance.

    The Satoshi Question That Won’t Go Away

    Finney’s closeness to Bitcoin’s creation, paired with his cryptography background and a Caltech engineering degree, has fueled years of speculation that he was Satoshi Nakamoto himself, or worked closely with whoever was.

    Bitcoin.com News has previously laid out the many facts pointing to Hal Finney being Satoshi, an internal look at the circumstantial case that still gets revisited every time the identity question resurfaces. Finney always denied being Bitcoin’s creator, and no verified evidence has settled the question either way.

    What Ten Bitcoin Became

    The anniversary lands at a notable moment for the asset Finney helped bring to life. Bitcoin’s price crossed $80,000 for the first time since May on August 25, gaining roughly 28% over eight days and briefly touching an intraday high above $81,000.

    At that price range, the 10 $BTC Finney received from Satoshi Nakamoto in January 2009 would be worth roughly $805,000 today, a figure that would have sounded absurd to almost anyone in the room when that transaction first went through.

    Finney never got to see bitcoin’s price reach even a small fraction of where it trades now. But the tools he built, the questions his life still raises about Bitcoin’s origins, and the fact that his name remains the answer to “who received the first bitcoin” mean his imprint on the network hasn’t faded with time.

    Twelve years on, that’s still what people are logging on to remember today.

  • Capital B’s €21 million Bitcoin raise comes with heavy warrant dilution risk

    Capital B’s €21 million Bitcoin raise comes with heavy warrant dilution risk

    Bitcoin treasury company Capital B plans to raise €21 million and use the proceeds, along with operating funds, to buy another 270 Bitcoin.

    The immediate deal would leave the company’s stated measure of Bitcoin backing per diluted share almost unchanged, while four warrants attached to each new share create a larger layer of contingent dilution.

    The company announced a private placement of 36,219,070 shares with attached warrants at €0.58 per unit. That would produce €21.01 million in gross proceeds and an estimated €19.9 million after fees.

    Closing was expected on Aug. 31 at the earliest, meaning neither the shares nor the planned Bitcoin purchase was complete when the deal was announced. Capital B said the proceeds and operating funds could lift its treasury from the 3,145 $BTC confirmed on Aug. 17 to a potential 3,415 $BTC.

    The immediate Bitcoin-per-share math is flat

    On the diluted shareholder bases displayed in Capital B’s Aug. 28 release, the company had about 7.4725 $BTC per million shares before the placement. Combining the proposed 3,415 $BTC with the post-placement diluted count of 457,096,891 shares produces about 7.4711 $BTC per million shares.

    That is a decrease of roughly 0.02%, making the immediate transaction effectively flat against the company’s stated objective of increasing Bitcoin per diluted share over time.

    Infographic outlines Capital B’s Bitcoin holdings, diluted share counts, and $BTC per million shares across three dilution scenarios and financing estimates.

    Before the reverse-split adjustment, each new share carries two warrants exercisable at €0.75, €0.98, and €1.27. Full exercise would create 144,876,280 more shares and provide another €135.82 million.

    If every new warrant were exercised and no additional Bitcoin were attributed to those proceeds, Capital B’s potential 3,415 $BTC would be spread across 601,973,171 displayed diluted shares. That equals about 5.6730 $BTC per million shares, 24.1% below the pre-placement ratio.

    The five-year warrants are contingent on investors choosing to exercise them, so the associated shares and cash have not been received.

    An investor holding 1% before the placement would fall to 0.9% on the ordinary post-placement basis and 0.72% on the company’s diluted basis without participating. Full exercise of the new warrants would reduce those figures to 0.65% and 0.55%, respectively.

    The issuer also says its displayed diluted calculation excludes older BSA families, specified warrants attached to convertible bonds and unissued capacity under a €300 million TOBAM program. Those items sit outside the 24.1% scenario.

    In June, shareholders had authorized much broader financing capacity, including up to €5 billion of capital increases and €100 billion of credit instruments.

    The Aug. 28 placement is a priced example that the proposed Bitcoin only matches the immediate share expansion, while the attached warrants determine whether the longer-term ratio improves or falls.

  • Donald Trump’s Latest Financial Disclosure Shows Significant Sales Of Netflix Securities, Disney, WBD & Comcast Transactions

    Donald Trump’s Latest Financial Disclosure Shows Significant Sales Of Netflix Securities, Disney, WBD & Comcast Transactions

    Donald Trump reported more than 1,000 purchases and sales of corporate securities in June, including those of Netflix, Warner Bros. Discovery, The Walt Disney Co. and Comcast.

    The White House has previously said that the president’s stock and bond portfolio is independently managed.

    According to the president’s latest financial report, released by the Office of Government Ethics, he sold between $50,001 and $100,000 of Netflix on June 12, another $500,001 to $1 million on June 18, between $15,001 and $50,000 on June 16, and between $50,001 and $100,000 on June 24. He bought between $1,001 and $15,000 on June 3, and between $1,001 and $15,000 on June 23.

    Per the filing, the president also purchased between $50,001 and $100,000 in The Walt Disney Co. on June 18, and between $1,001 and $15,000 on June 3. He purchased between $1,001 and $15,000 in Warner Bros. Discovery on June 16. The form also showed the sale of $1,001 to $15,000 in Comcast securities on June 16, $1,001 to $15,000 on June 23, $1,001 to $15,000 on June 3, and between $100,001 and $250,000 on June 24.

    The report also showed the sale of $100,001 to $250,000 shares of Amazon on June 12 and the sale of $100,001 to $250,000 on June 24. It showed the purchase of $15,001 to $50,000 of Amazon on June 15, the purchase of $1,001 to $15,000 on June 23, the purchase of $1,001 to $15,000 on June 3.

    The OGE report does not require specific amounts of sales or purchases, but ranges.

    A White House official did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But the administration has previously said that “all holdings are maintained in discretionary accounts and invested through computer-based model portfolios that automatically replicate recognized indexes, such as the Schwab 1000.”

    The official said that Trump does not have the ability to “direct, influence, or provide input regarding how the portfolio is invested or when investments are bought or sold.”

    Some of the companies have regulatory business before the Trump administration. The Justice Department approved Paramount’s proposed merger with Warner Bros. Discovery on June 12. Disney, meanwhile, is challenging the FCC over its order that it submit the licenses of its eight owned stations for early renewal. Disney filed a First Amendment lawsuit against the agency earlier this month.
