Chapek Blames Iger for Ouster; Barr Rages at Fishman; Halloween Costumes Emerge

Former Disney CEO Bob Chapek is set to release a memoir in which he directly blames Bob Iger for his 2022 dismissal. The book, "Behind the Castle Walls: My Thirty Years at the Happiest Place on Earth," reportedly details Chapek's perspective on his tenure and the events leading to his ouster after less than three years as CEO.

In a separate celebrity dispute, Roseanne Barr has launched a scathing verbal attack on her former "Roseanne" co-star Michael Fishman. The feud reignited after Fishman stated the show's 2018 reboot was "rightfully canceled." Barr's response was highly aggressive, using derogatory language towards Fishman.

Meanwhile, as the Halloween season approaches, Variety has highlighted anticipated pop culture costume trends for 2026, drawing inspiration from recent events and personalities like Bad Bunny and Taylor Swift. Additionally, Will.i.am has publicly supported a campaign for veteran singer Sir Tom Jones to return as a coach on the television show "The Voice."
