Captain Sandy Yawn from Below Deck got what she believes was some good news for her birthday this week — when the Below Deck Med star learned a builder accused of stealing large sums of money from her was arrested.
As Monsters and Critics reported, Captain Sandy and her fiancee Leah Shafer sunk their savings into a dream home in Florida but said the builder ran off with their cash.
Several people in the same area made allegations of similar things happening to them.
Days after Captain Sandy’s story went viral last week, the developer behind the projects was arrested.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Captain Sandy opened up about the builder being arrested on several financial charges.
“We have a bada** detective John McGuire working non-stop. This is just the beginning and justice has and will continue to be served,” she told the outlet.

SAG-AFTRA’s top negotiator has never done this before.
Duncan Crabtree-Ireland has worked for the union for most of his adult life. In that time, he has become a master of the details. He taught himself Spanish to work on an international treaty on intellectual property. Then he bargained with Telemundo, switching between Spanish and English to hammer out the first U.S. labor contract for telenovela actors.
But until this year, he had never led contract negotiations with the major film and TV studios. As it turned out, his first year at the helm was also the first that SAG-AFTRA went on strike on that contract in 43 years. As a result, Crabtree-Ireland has had to grow into a new public role.
He is no longer the adviser sitting behind the negotiators with all the answers. He is now the leader. Around Hollywood, as he mulls the final terms of...

SAG-AFTRA president Gabrielle Carteris has been elected president of the International Federation of Actors – the first American to ever hold the position. She was elected by delegates attending Fia’s 22nd World Congress.
Carteris succeeds Canadian actress Ferne Downey, who had been its president since 2012. Founded in 1952, Fia represents performers’ trade unions, guilds, and professional associations in some 65 countries whose members work in all recorded media and live theatre.
“It is my profound honor to be elected president of the International Federation of Actors,” Carteris said. “For nearly seventy years, Fia has been a leader and fighter for actors around the world. Fia has worked tirelessly to make stages, sets and studios more diverse and equitable, in addition to creating a culture of respect and accountability in the entertainment, media and performing arts industry that transcends international boundaries. I am grateful to Ferne Downey for her leadership as president over the past nine years,...

Emmy-winning broadcaster Joe Krebs has been named this year’s recipient of SAG-AFTRA’s President’s Award, which honors meritorious service to the union’s members and to the American labor movement.
Krebs served as the president of AFTRA’s Washington-Baltimore Local from 1997 to 2009 and was instrumental in the merger of SAG and AFTRA, co-authoring the new union’s constitution and dues structure. The two unions merged nine years ago this week. Now retired, he spent 32 years at Wrc-tv, the NBC affiliate in Washington, D.C. – including 18 years as the anchor of its morning news program.
“Joe Krebs’s impressive career of more than 40 years in the broadcast industry would stand on its own, but it’s his generous soul and a relentless passion for justice that have truly distinguished him,” said SAG-AFTRA president Gabrielle Carteris. “His professional accomplishments tell only part of the story; he has selflessly volunteered...

John McGuire, SAG-AFTRA’s longest-serving executive, is retiring after 52 years of service. At today’s national board meeting, he was presented with the union’s President’s Award for his decades of distinguished service.
“John’s contributions to SAG-AFTRA are simply immeasurable,” said SAG-AFTRA president Gabrielle Carteris. “Over the years, he has served as an endless source of knowledge, wisdom, patience and vision. I can say without reservation that generations of members are better off because of John’s service.”
“There are no words to express the respect and depth of appreciation we feel for John McGuire,” said SAG-AFTRA national executive director David White. “After more than 50 years of exceptional stewardship and service to our members, employees, the industry and the labor movement, we can scarcely imagine SAG-AFTRA without him. John is an esteemed member of our executive team, and has been a wise counselor and generous mentor to so...

SAG-AFTRA’s funds held in trust for others have increased by less than $1 million to $215.6 million since last year, according to the union’s latest filing with the federal government.
The miniscule gain, following a 9.4% jump last year, is a probable sign of the impact of the industry’s production halt that took place in March due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Those funds have been at the center of a long-running dispute, dating back to a 2007 suit filed by the late Ken Osmond (“Leave It to Beaver”) over how foreign levies are handled by the union. Osmond settled his suit in 2011.
The disclosure came in the July 29 filing of SAG-AFTRA’s report with the U.S. Department of Labor for the fiscal year that ended on April 30 in the category of “funds held in trust for others.”
The 2019 report showed funds held in trust at $214.8 million, a 9.4% hike to $201.5 million and...

Big Brother All-Stars Season 2 is happening!
Fans have been waiting for a second All-Stars season ever since the first one -- Big Brother Season 7 -- aired fourteen years ago.
To celebrate the great news, I put together a dream cast for the upcoming season. It includes past houseguests who dominated their individual seasons and others who fell short but were fan-favorites.
Nicole Anthony (Big Brother 21)
Nicole was robbed on her season. She wasn't a huge competitor, which was ultimately her downfall, but when she did win, everyone cheered (her Hoh win during the double eviction was epic).
Her social game was amazing, though, and she seemed to come alive towards the end of the season.
There's a reason she won America's Favorite and came in third place. Big Brother needs more likable houseguests who can actually make it far in the game.
Everyone loves an underdog, and Nicole was the underdog of her season.

Kanye West reportedly pulled out as Coachella headliner just days before the festival announced its 2019 lineup after organizers would not meet the rapper’s demands that a dome be built on the festival grounds.
Billboard reports that on New Year’s Day, Coachella organizers were set to reveal West as one of its headliners when the rapper asked the festival to construct him a custom-built dome to house his performance.
The dome, conceived by West’s set designer John McGuire, would have provided a 360-degree production with “high-tech production and...

Jackson Hole, Wyo. — “After all this,” said one fellow traveler as we walked off of our unexpected Gulfstream G400 private jet to Wyoming for Kanye West’s album-listening event, “we gonna Have to say the record is fire!”
While that doesn’t begin to unpack the mixed feelings many people brought to this luxurious adventure, centered around an artist whose comments have made him highly controversial if not distasteful to some, it’s also a useful framing device for Thursday’s scenario: When you’re flown out to a ranch in the middle of Wyoming, wined and dined and given plush accommodation while surrounded by a near-tmz-level hitlist of celebrities, it’s difficult to objectively assess an album purely on its artistic merits. Thus, this article is about the event rather than ‘Ye the person and artist — he didn’t address the crowd at large at all — or “Ye,” the album.
