Also in the news: The bet that made Steven Spielberg millions off of Star Wars, John Singleton says Hollywood "Ain't letting black people tell stories", The Br…

Quickly, some highlights this week: A journalist from Deadline Hollywood states her case as to why Mel Gibson should be forgiven and welcomed back i…
