Current entertainment highlights include Universal Music Group's Q2 revenue beat despite streaming challenges, BBC's apology to 'Strictly Come Dancing' contestants, Venice Film Festival's star-studded comeback, Hollywood's support of Kamala Harris, a tentative labor agreement at Disneyland, Comcast's NBA broadcast deal, the U.S. women's water polo team gaining Flavor Flav's support, Taylor Swift's exhibit at UK's V&A, and Snoop Dogg's involvement in the Paris Olympics.

Universal Music Group's Q2 revenue exceeded expectations, despite a slowdown in subscription growth. Recorded music subscription revenue grew 4.1% in the second quarter, down from 13% a year ago.

The BBC apologized to contestants of 'Strictly Come Dancing' following allegations about the training methods of some professional dancers on the long-running show.

The Venice Film Festival is set for a star-studded return after the 2023 actors' strike. Running from August 28 to September 7, it will feature major blockbusters and auteur films.

Hollywood's 'Dembargo' on political donations has ended, with celebrities endorsing Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for U.S. president.

Disney has reached a tentative agreement with unions representing 14,000 Disneyland employees, avoiding a strike. The new three-year deal includes wage increases and other benefits.

Comcast is expected to announce an 11-year deal to broadcast 100 NBA games per season on NBC and Peacock. The agreement is competitive with those from Amazon Prime Video and ESPN.

Flavor Flav has backed the U.S. women's water polo team's Olympic dream, bringing attention and support to the sport.

Taylor Swift's personal items will be on display at London's V&A in a temporary summer exhibition titled 'Taylor Swift | Songbook Trail.'
