How to Add Disney Plus If You Already Have a Hulu or ESPN+ Subscription - IGN - IGN

In the extremely unlikely event you didn't already know, Disney+ launched and you can sign up for the service starting right now. If you just want Disney+, the service is $6.99 and has every Disney show and movie you can imagine available on-demand.You can also sign up for a risk-free, 7-day Disney+ free trial if you're on the fence about it. If you decide you like Disney+ (and after a day, I'm sold), you can add it to your existing Hulu or ESPN+ subscription as by following the simple steps below.

Here's the TL;DR version of signing up for ad-free Hulu as part of the Disney+ bundled package:

Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ Bundle

On Disney+

How to Sign Up for Disney Plus Bundle With Ad-Free Hulu

Signing up for the bundle is as easy as following the instructions on the sign-up page. If you don't already have one of the other services, it's the easiest way to get yourself started with all three. However, the Hulu sub in the bundled deal is the base Hulu subscription, rather than the commercial-free $11.99 version (which I personally feel is worth the extra couple bucks).

If you want to upgrade your Disney+ and Hulu bundle to the superior ad-free version, sign up for ad-free Hulu BEFORE you sign up for the Disney+ bundled deal. From there, choose the $11.99 version with no ads, or upgrade your existing Hulu subscription package. I cannot stress enough how much better Hulu is with no ads, so it's really worth the extra $6 a month

There are two ways to upgrade to the more expensive, $11.99 version: you can sign up separately for the commercial-free version as explained above, or you can visit your Hulu account page and upgrade from there.

Can I Upgrade my Hulu Account If I Subscribed Through the Disney Plus Bundle?

The bad news is you CANNOT upgrade to ad-free Hulu if you subscribe through the Disney+ bundled deal. According to Hulu's help page, if you create a new Hulu account and are billed through Disney+ "you won’t be able to switch to a different Hulu plan or sign up for any add-ons." The bottom line is if you want ad-free Hulu you need to create the account before you sign up for the Disney+ bundled deal.

How to Sign Up for the Disney+ Bundle If You Already Have Hulu or ESPN+

It's extremely easy to get the bundle if you're already subscribed to one of the other services. Visit the Disney+ bundle sign-up page and use the same email address you use for your Hulu or ESPN+ account. That's it.

Disney+ will then credit you $5.99 for your existing Hulu account and "a credit against the bundle price in an amount equal to the effective monthly price of your existing subscription." If you're a monthly ESPN+ subscriber, that means you'll get credited $4.99 a month too. The important thing is you sign up for Disney+ with the same email address as the other two. Do that, and your monthly bill will be reduced.

Should I Get the Bundle if I Don't Want ESPN+?

If you subscribe to Disney+ and Hulu separately, you're paying $12.98, so for literally just a penny more you can bundle it and get ESPN+. I'm a fan of ESPN+ for the simple fact it has Formula 1 racing, the entire 30 for 30 documentary series, and classic boxing matches like Ali vs. Frasier: The Thrilla in Manilla. I'm not going to change your mind if you have zero tolerance for all sports, but it's essentially the exact same price, so... why not sign up for the full bundle?

There's an excellent deal if you're looking for a new data plan through Verizon: you sign up for an unlimited data plan from Verizon Wireless, or sign up for Verizon Fios (check the website to see if your area has Verizon Fios coverage), and get one-year of Disney+ for free. If you already signed up for Disney+, your bill goes on hold until the free year is up, at which point it starts up again. That means if you're one of the Disney+ super-fans who signed up for the three-year package deal, you get to keep the deal, you just get an extra year for free through Verizon. Nice.

Taylor Swift's Fabricating and Manipulating, According to Big Machine - TMZ

Getty

Taylor Swift's claim Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta from Big Machine are blocking her from performing her own songs at the AMAs is a complete fabrication ... according to the record label, which thinks she made a calculated move to harm its people.

Big Machine says it was shocked to see Taylor's comments Thursday, and denies ever saying she could not perform at the awards show or blocking her Netflix special. It adds ... "In fact, we do not have the right to keep her from performing live anywhere."

To be fair, Swift never said BM was keeping her from performing ... she specifically stated it was keeping her from performing her own songs, and using her own songs and performance footage in the Netflix documentary.

Big Machine also claims Taylor's admitted to owing the company millions of dollars and it says it was optimistic the 2 sides were working toward resolving the issue ... but then she bailed.

Instead, BM says "Taylor made a unilateral decision last night to enlist her fanbase in a calculated manner that greatly affects the safety of our employees and their families.

The label adds ... "Taylor, the narrative you have created does not exist."

Despite Big Machine's denial, Swift's friend, Selena Gomez, has her back 100 percent. Selena says she's "sick and extremely angry" over the situation, and accuses the label of "greed, manipulation and power."

Gomez says of BM ... "You've robbed and crushed one of our best song writers of our time an opportunity to celebrate all of her music with fans and the world." She goes on to praise Swift's character, talent and strength ... and says she knows Taylor will not stop fighting.

Halsey echoes many of the same thoughts, accusing BM of making an awful business move and being mean and vindictive. She says the label is banking on people not sticking up for Taylor ... but says it's "barking up the wrong tree."

As we reported ... Taylor's set to be honored at the upcoming AMAs as Artist of the Decade, but as you can tell -- it's about much more than that now.

Review: 'The Crown,' Untarnished - NPR

Enlarge this image

The royal We may not be amused, but you will be: Olivia Colman is Elizabeth in The Crown Season 3. Des Willie/Netflix hide caption

toggle caption

Des Willie/Netflix

The third season of The Crown drops on Netflix on Sunday, November 17th.

"One just has to get on with it."

That's Elizabeth II (played by Olivia Colman, taking over from Claire Foy), in the first scene of The Crown's third season. She's addressing her assistants, there, who have just unveiled to her the more-current portrait of the Queen set to replace her younger self on a postage stamp.

Except, she isn't really addressing them. She's talking to herself, in the resigned, practical, stiff-upper-lip manner that the series ascribes to her. This is The Crown's Elizabeth — grounded, unflashy, unexpressive, a portrait in thwarted desire and strangled emotion. Colman slips into Foy's sensible brown shoes easily, her large, expressive eyes constantly struggling to keep from betraying her thoughts. But Colman's so good at keeping Elizabeth fully present in any given scene that the roiling going on below her surface politesse becomes as much The Crown's subject as that studied, implacable surface itself.

"One just has to get on with it."

She's also talking to us, of course. She — and series creator Peter Morgan — are saying, "Yes, we've replaced the cast, but don't worry — we've kept the formula. Relax. We've got this. Pip-pip."

That formula, a focus on the burden of privilege, on the misery of the obscenely rich, on the despair occasioned by wielding only purely ceremonial power — call it "heavy hangs the (figure)head that wears the crown" — is a tricky one to pull off. As much as we as a culture adore the soap-opera agonistes of the wealthy and powerful, the world of The Crown is as plain and grounded as Elizabeth herself. Its determination to graft its narrative onto select moments in recent British history means it's not interested in heedless, soapy excess — you won't catch Liz and Princess Margaret (a wild-eyed, more-melancholic-than-baseline Helena Bonham Carter) tossing each other into a lily pond.

Though that would — let us stipulate, as fellow reasoned adults — be awesome.

But as The Crown's first two seasons showed amply, there is greatly satisfying drama to be mined from the fundamentally undramatic. The Crown season three doubles down on the series' practice of treating the tiniest diplomatic faux pas as something bearing the immediate potential to threaten the Empire to its veddy core.

In episode after episode, it's Elizabeth's reaction — or pointed lack of same — to various events of the day (a financial crisis, a mining disaster, nationwide strikes, Prince Charles becoming Prince of Wales, the moon landing, a scandal involving Margaret) that drives the plot. It takes a good deal of maneuvering from Morgan and his writers to embed the British royal family more centrally in these events than they actually were, but it's impossible to begrudge them that fact, because it means we get more of this stellar cast, mooning about for our enjoyment.

Whether it's Tobias Menzes' insufferable Prince Philip (taking over jaw-clenching duties from Matt Smith this season) experiencing what he would be loath to call an identity crisis, or the hangdog Prince Charles (embodied, in all his gangly, stoop-shouldered gooniness, by Josh O'Connor, an actor whose protuberant ears must have freed up some of the series' hair-and-makeup budget for more Princess Margaret wigs) longing after young Camilla Shand (Emerald Fennell), there is something sublimely comforting about the whole affair: all those plummy vowels, all those rooms tufted and draped and antimacassar-ed in ways that still somehow manage to seem vaguely industrial, all that gray light filtering through leaded windows, all those Prime Ministers expressing a slowly-dawning respect for Elizabeth's diplomatic acumen and horse-sense, because of course they do.

It's a comfort to know — or at least, to convince yourself, aided by the doughty work of some of the best actors on the planet — that the Royals, a class of pampered, protected, egregiously privileged people for whom the term privilege was coined, experience one iota of the everyday existential dread the rest of us do.

"Things work themselves out in the end," chirps Elizabeth, in season three's final episode.

It's just something she tells herself to allow herself to carry on. One just has to get on with it. Things work themselves out in the end. She says these things, but Colman shows us she doesn't buy them. We don't, either. But as you binge these ten episodes, you ensconce yourself in the hermetic, protective world of The Crown, and in that brief span of hours, you almost believe her.

Halsey Supports Taylor Swift Over Row With Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta: 'This is Just Mean' - Billboard

Halsey is in TayTay’s corner.

Hours after Taylor Swift took to social media to accuse Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta of blocking her from performing her older music, the “Without Me” singer has joined Team Taylor.

“Not only are we looking at an awful business move…but this is just mean. This is punishment. This is hoping to silence her from speaking about things by dangling this over her head,” Halsey writes in her Instagram Stories.

“These people are protected because they inspire complicity with fear. Banking on the illusion that people will not stand up for her. That the world will say she is over reacting. You’re barking up the wrong tree. It is her grace and patience in these moments that make her Artist of the Decade.”

Halsey drove her point home by posting a clip of herself singing along to “Mean,” vintage Swift from 2010’s Speak Now.

Earlier, Swift claimed Braun and Borchetta wouldn’t allow her to access her back catalogue for a Netflix special and an upcoming American Music Awards performance, where she will be honored as Artist of the Decade.

In a lengthy social post, she wrote, "I've been planning to perform a medley of my hits throughout the decade on the show. Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun have now said that I'm not allowed to perform my old songs on television because they claim that would be re-recording my music before I'm allowed to next year.”

Also, she called on her fans to get involved. “Please ask them for help with this. I’m hoping that maybe they can talk some sense into the men who are exercising tyrannical control over someone who just wants to play the music she wrote.”

It didn't take long for help to arrive. A Change.org petition started by fan Jade Rossi has raced past 50,000 signatures

Swift isn’t on best terms with Scooter and Scott. The “Shake It Off” singer had a very public spat with the pair in June with the news of Scooter Braun’s acquisition of Big Machine Label Group, and with it Swift’s six-album catalogue.

The pop singer has some bad blood with Braun going back several years.

Braun and Borchetta have yet to respond to Taylor’s latest claims.
