That was quick! Barely a month after the snazzily contemporary structure first popped up for sale, the longtime 90210 home of media mogul Sumner Redstone has sold in a cash deal — and for $27 million, just $900,000 under the asking price. Located in the exclusive guard-gated community of North Beverly Park, where other homeowners include Denzel Washington, Sofia Vergara, Mark Wahlberg and Eddie Murphy, the unique property offers sprawling park-like grounds, a full-sized tennis court and one-of-a-kind infinity pool.
Records reveal the spendy buyer is Rufus Hankey, chairman of software developer Nowcom and an officer at the Hankey Group, the massive insurance/software/real estate/hard money lending conglomerate founded by his billionaire father Don Hankey. It’s perhaps not entirely surprising that the younger Hankey would be in the market for a lavish new home; the 47-year-old is recently divorced from former wife Amber, who herself recently dropped $10.3 million on a 90210 mansion.

Few have loomed so large and for so long over the entertainment industry as famously autocratic late billionaire Sumner Redstone, who passed last year at 97 years old after years of illness and isolation, not to mention rampant rumors of incapacitation and bitter infighting among his family and a couple of his significantly younger former girlfriends and care takers.
The media magnate was the majority owner and chairman of the National Amusements theater chain, through which he and is family controlled (and still control) majority voting shares of ViacomCBS, the parent company of Paramount Pictures, CBS, BET, Showtime, MTV and Comedy Central. Around the time of his death, Forbes pegged Redstone’s net worth at around $2.6 billion. And, like most billionaires with pockets deeper than some small sovereign nations, Redstone lived large during the last decades of his illustrious life in a lavish mansion in the much ballyhooed — and sometimes maligned...

In recent months, the #MeToo movement has derailed the careers of big-name stars and studio execs right and left, but the impact isn’t limited to the rich and famous. One such case is affecting those in the below-the-line film and TV production community in New Mexico.
Jon Hendry, a longtime fixture of New Mexico’s film industry, resigned March 18 as the business agent of the Intl. Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local 480 after two women filed a lawsuit alleging that he sexually harassed them and engaged in discriminatory behavior. Iatse and the local were also named as defendants.
Less than a week earlier, the scandal had cut through the political scene in the Land of Enchantment. On March 13, Richard Ellenberg, chairman of the New Mexico Democratic Party, stepped down following a storm of criticism after he cast doubt on the credibility of the accusations against Hendry. While the events...
