 Kelly Preston, 1962-2020

►Kelly Preston, actress in SpaceCamp, Jerry Maguire and For Love of the Game, dies at 57. The actress who starred in such movies as The Experts and, most recently, opposite husband John Travolta in Gotti, has died. She was 57. Preston died Sunday after a two-year battle with breast cancer, Travolta wrote on Instagram.

--"It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you that my beautiful wife Kelly has lost her two-year battle with breast cancer," he wrote. "She fought a courageous fight with the love and support of so many. My family and I will forever be grateful to her doctors and nurses at MD Anderson Cancer Center, all the medical centers that have helped, as well as her many friends and loved ones who have been by her side." The obituary.

--Hollywood pays tribute: Maria Shriver, Josh Gad and Daniel Dae Kim were among those who remembered Preston on social media Sunday. The tributes.

►SiriusXM makes Stitcher deal official. At the closing, SiriusXM, controlled by john Malone's Liberty Media, will make a cash payment of $265 million to Scripps for the podcast platform. SiriusXM will also potentially make up to $60 million in additional contingent payments based on Stitcher achieving certain financial metrics in 2020 and 2021, the companies said. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter. The story.

►Analyst cuts 2020 box office estimate, says cinemas will reopen in September "at the earliest." MKM Partners' Eric Handler now expects a "near-70 percent decline compared to our prior view for a 55 percent-60 percent decrease" for the year.

--"We place a low likelihood of Tenet opening on Aug. 12 given a rising number of COVID-19 cases in key areas, such as California, Texas and Florida, along with the slowed re-opening of the New York City economy," Handler writes. "In our view, it would be surprising to see theaters able to re-open nationwide before September, at the earliest." The story.

►Disney World partially reopens to crowds as Florida sets single day COVID-19 case record. The Magic Kingdom Park and Disney's Animal Kingdom Park once again welcomed guests Saturday morning, and there were plenty of those who wanted to return to the popular Orlando destination for the first time since mind-March when it was forced to close due to the pandemic. Videos and photos posted to social media and reported on local news showed that new measures in place for health and safety, such as a mask requirement, did not deter park-goers. The story.

+Walt Disney World Resort 'welcome home' video gets social media backlash. In the video clip, which has been deleted from Twitter but still appears on Instagram, uniformed cast members and park employees can be seen wearing face masks and saying the words "Welcome home" in a variety of different settings from within the park. More.

 'American Trial' And The Fight For Justice

►Eric Garner widow and filmmaker talk police protests: Justice "exists only on film." American Trial: The Eric Garner Story director Roee Messinger and Garner's widow Esaw Snipes reflect on their film, which imagines what could have happened if the NYPD officer who killed Garner had been put on trial, and comparisons to the current cultural climate. The interview.

Two big sports stories...

+A new NASCAR competitor that's made for TV. A pair of NASCAR hall-of-famers, Ray Evernham and Tony Stewart, will team with sports agent Sandy Montag and former NASCAR COO George Pyne to launch a new racing circuit called Superstar Racing Experience (SRX), Sports Business Journal reports. CBS is already in board to broadcast the races, which will be designed from the ground-up to be TV-friendly, and to fit into two-hour primetime windows (unlike NASCAR races, which can run much longer)

+Washington's NFL team will get a new name. The team said today that "we will be retiring the Redskins name and logo." It won't happen immediately, and a new name is to-be-determined, but after years of controversy and pressure (most recently pressure from high-impact sponsors like FedEx), the team and owner Dan Snyder are responding. Snyder has reportedly told people he wants a new name that will honor Native Americans and the military.

►Former Pop TV president Brad Schwartz out at Audible after one month. The Amazon-owned audiobook company tapped Schwartz to lead its push into original programming in June. But, according to a report in Bloomberg, employees expressed concern about a sexual harassment lawsuit in which he was named during his time running Pop TV, prompting Audible to part ways with him. An Audible spokeswoman declined to comment about the reason for Schwartz's departure. The story.

►Race-equity consultants in demand in Hollywood: "Never once have we been so busy." Diversity and inclusion experts are being sought more than ever by entertainment companies, Emily Hilton reports. "There's a lot of people who are willing to check a box and have someone come and speak," says Marya Bangee — executive director of Harness — who has done programming with Netflix, NBCUniversal and Sundance. "That doesn't mean change." The story.

 Fox News 'Condemns' Comments Made By Former 'Tucker Carlson' Writer

►Fox News "condemns" racist, sexist comments by former Tucker Carlson writer. Carlson is expected to address the resignation on Monday, according to an internal memo sent to employees on Saturday. The internal memo sent out by Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott and Fox News Media president and executive editor Jay Wallace and obtained by THR reads: "Yesterday we learned that now former employee Blake Neff, a writer on Tucker Carlson Tonight, made horrendous and deeply offensive racist, sexist and homophobic comments under a pseudonym on the forum AutoAdmit." The story.

►James Murdoch's firm aims for Art Basel stake. The former 21st Century Fox CEO is looking to take a stake in Art Basel through his Lupa Systems fund, the owner of the global art fair platform, MCH Group, disclosed on July 10. The move is subject to a decision made at a general meeting of MCH Group on Aug. 3. The proposal includes adding Murdoch as well as several other Lupa Systems executives to the board of directors for MCH, which employs 860 staffers globally. More.

►USC removing John Wayne exhibit after student protests over actor's racist comments. Students and alumni began protesting the exhibit last fall, with one banner reading "by keeping Wayne’s legacy alive, SCA is endorsing white supremacy." More.
