Beach Boys co-founder and virtuoso songwriter-producer Brian Wilson was placed under a conservatorship this week, following a petition from his family after his wife, Melinda Ledbetter, died in January.
Wilson, 81, who was diagnosed with a “major neurocognitive disorder,” was placed under the conservatorship at a Tuesday hearing overseen by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Gus T. May. The hearing was the culmination of a series of proceedings initiated by Wilson’s family and friends after Ledbetter, who famously extracted Wilson’s affairs from his former psychologist via a court-ordered separation and then became his manager, died at their Beverly Hills home on Jan. 30.
“I find from clear and convincing evidence that a conservatorship of the person is necessary,” May said at Thursday’s hearing, according to the minutes viewed by The Hollywood Reporter.

Updated with latest: At a hearing today, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Gus T. May placed Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson in a conservatorship. The arrangement is to be overseen by the 81-year-old musician’s longtime publicist Jean Sievers and manager LeeAnn Hard.
“I find from clear and convincing evidence that a conservatorship of the person is necessary,” said May at the hearing.

The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson is suffering from dementia and the 81-year-old musician is no longer able to care for himself, according to newly filed court documents.
Following the passing of Wilson’s wife and longtime manager, Melinda Ledbetter, last month, the musician’s longtime representatives, LeeAnn Hard and Jean Sievers, petitioned a court to appoint them as his co-conservators.
According to court filings first obtained by The Daily Mail, due to “major neurocognitive disorders (including dementia),” Wilson is unable to properly provide for his own personal needs for physical health, food, clothing, or shelter.” Prior to her passing, Ledbetter had been Wilson’s caregiver and taking care of his “daily living needs.”

SAG-AFTRA has granted approval to 39 independent productions to shoot during the actors strike, after confirming that they are not linked to AMPTP companies. The list includes two A24 projects, and Deadline first reported on Monday that faith-based series The Chosen was likely to get one, which now is confirmed.
Of the 39 projects given a waiver, A24, which is not part of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, had two films granted a waiver, Mother Mary and Death of a Unicorne. Sources close to the studio add that just because a waiver was approved does not mean shooting will commence immediately, especially with Death of a Unicorne, which is still in deep development. Mother Mary likely will start shooting again soon.
Other approved projects include Rivals of Amziah King, starring Matthew McConaughey; Dust Bunny, starring Sigourney Weaver and Mads Mikkelsen; and Bride Hard, starring Rebel Wilson.

Welcome to this, the very first review of Aew’s new weekly television show Collision – which also brings wrestling back to Saturday nights! We’ve got a brand new commentary team, Nigel McGuiness and Kevin Kelly, with Jim Ross calling the highly anticipated main event. Speaking of which, let’s get into the review!
Match #1: TNT Championship Match – Luchasaurus def. Wardlow The following is courtesy of allelitewrestling.com:
Wardlow and Luchasaurus tied up in the center of the ring. They traded shoulder blocks until Wardlow dropkicked Luchasaurus. Christian Cage whispered in Luchasaurus’ ear outside the ring. Wardlow followed in pursuit but Christian crawled under the ring, trying to find a place to hide. Christian provided just enough of a distraction to allow for Luchasaurus to blast Wardlow with a big boot. Wardlow hoisted up Luchasaurus on his shoulders and then planted him backwards. Wardlow steamrolled Luchasaurus with a lariat.

Just a few days after Amber Heard filed new paperwork to have Johnny Depp’s defamation trial-winning verdict tossed out and a new trial set, the current Jeff Beck sideman has responded. Unsurprisingly, the lengthy response from Team Depp is to maintain the multi-million dollar decision, insisting that the Virginia court “reject Ms. Heard’s baseless contention” over his more than 10 million damages award and everything else.
“Following a six-week jury trial, a jury of Ms. Heard’s peers rendered a verdict against her in virtually all respects,” says the memorandum in opposition from Depp’s Brown Rudnick attorneys Monday. “Though understandably displeased with the outcome of trial, Ms. Heard has identified no legitimate basis to set aside in any respect the jury’s decision,” the filing in Fairfax County claims. “Virginia law is clear that a verdict is not to be set aside unless it is “plainly wrong or without evidence to support it,...
