"I think we're done", North says, fighting tears. Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter

Classic Disney movies are meant to portray the perfect happy ending - but the internet has other ideas. In fact, some of the most-loved characters from those films would apparently be a terrible date, after some serious investigations into their red flags. High up on the list was Clayton from Tarzan, who has 'zero respect for nature and animals', as well as Frozen's Prince Hans, who has been branded 'cold-hearted and just awful'. Savage.

The dancers who filed a lawsuit against Lizzo have spoken publicly for the first time about the 'nuanced weight-shaming' they allegedly received from the singer. Arianna Davis and Crystal Williams appeared on NBC News, where they discussed the 'thinly-veiled' comments the body-positive singer would make about their appearance. "I just had this feeling that they had a problem with the way I was gaining weight and looking different and that I wasn’t 'the same' as when they first cast me", Davis says. "What I think people should take away is the fact that our experience is not an isolated experience." Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter

The trailer has dropped for a new 'killer sloth' movie, and fans can't help but compare its parody-like nature to Cocaine Bear. Directed by Matthew Goodhue, Slotherhouse follows the story of a sorority girl who adopts a pet sloth in a bid to become more popular with the girls she lives with. However, 'Alpha' the sloth turns murderous, stabbing girls in the shower and creeping up on them in bed. It comes across as pretty terrifying, until you remember...it's a sloth. Slotherhouse lands in cinemas on 30 August 2023. Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter

The production designers who worked on Barbie have revealed the biggest challenges about bringing Barbieland to life - after nine whole months of conversations with director, Greta Gerwig, on how it should look. Sarah Greenwood and Katie Spencer were responsible for the incredible aesthetics of the dream houses. “What do you put in a house with no walls? And through these walls, you see the house next door", Spencer says. “There’s nowhere to hide. It has to look utterly gorgeous but relatable. And then there’s the scale of things… the lower the house, the shallower the rooms. You couldn’t put an awful lot in them.” Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter

Taylor Swift has reportedly dished out over $5 million in bonuses to truckers who helped out on her Eras tour. The 50 drivers transport all of her staging from venue-to-venue across the US, and each apparently got a cool $100,000 gift from the singer. While she's been on tour since March, she still has a further 60 shows starting in February 2024, taking her across the globe. Other workers including engineers, caterers, and dancers also received a bonus, but it's not known how much. Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter

Originally, face-value tickets sold for $49 to $449, but according to the LA Times, tickets for the first show were on sale from $800 to a whopping $11,000 each on StubHub.

Well, there are a number of different factors at play. Promotors are the ones who officially set the prices and get money from ticket sales, but given it's Taylor Swift we're talking about she would also have a hand in choosing the venues and informing the promotor where to set prices. Venues charge a facility fee for hosting the concert and are paid by the promoters for this role, some venues have exclusive deals with certain promoters while others do not. And then there are the ticket companies like Ticketmaster who sell tickets with dynamic pricing where the price of a ticket changes according to demand - a move that has received criticism (though artists can opt out of this, as Swift did). On top of this, there is also the service fee for buying the ticket online, a processing fee that "covers miscellaneous expenses associated with online ticketing", and a facility charge for the venue to host the shows. According to Ticketmaster, input is given by the artist on the service fee and facility charge. Finally, there are the resellers who purchase tickets with no intention to attend the show but rather buy tickets to turn a profit by making listings on marketplaces like StubHub and SeatGeek. Prices can shoot up as there are no limits as to what the seller can charge. “This is a truly market-driven platform,” StubHub spokesperson Jessica Finn told LA Times. “So this is really about what sellers think that the price, the value of the ticket is, and what buyers think the value of the ticket is, and they effectively agree on it with a purchase... It’s very much a dynamic marketplace, prices go up and down and we don’t meddle with that.” A team of people or software bots can be used by the reseller to nab batches of tickets - hence why Swift decided for her UK tour to do album order presales, get fans to sign up for the general sale, and have staggered ticket sales throughout the day to try and stop bots and resellers.
