Sometimes even when you win, you lose. For Dianne Wiest, that might just be the case. The Academy Award-winning actor says that winning an Oscar wasn’t the career boon she thought it would be. Despite flashing impressive range in roles that netted three Best Supporting Actress nominations and two wins, Wiest says she’s been boxed in by playing the same character in nearly every movie she’s offered.

When you think about Wiest, you might think of Vi, the mother of the rebellious Ariel in “Footloose.” Or maybe you think of the struggling divorced mom Helen in “Parenthood.” Or perhaps Peg, the mother-like figure for Edward in “Edward Scissorhands.” Maybe Joan, the matriarch of the Short family in the CBS sitcom “Life in Pieces?” And of course, there’s Lucy, mother of the vampire-fighting Emerson brothers in “The Lost Boys.”

And that’s Wiest’s point. Despite her acting chops, authenticated by the two Oscars sitting on her shelf (or wherever Dianne Wiest chooses to show off her hardware), she’s been stuck playing the same role over and over.

She’s Typecast As A Nice Mom

When an actor is typecast, it means that Hollywood producers only see them as one specific character type. While that might mean a safety net for struggling actors, it’s potentially a death knell for actors with the talent and desire to play a wide range of roles. For example, there was a time when Tom Hanks was typecast as strictly a comedy actor before he broke free in the 1993 drama “Philadelphia.”

Unfortunately, Wiest never had her “Philadelphia” moment to escape the dreaded Hollywood typecasting. The big question is, why? Wiest won Oscars for Best Supporting Actress in two Woody Allen films, “Hannah and Her Sisters” and “Bullets Over Broadway.” Both roles were rather salacious and neither involved being a mom.

Despite this, Wiest claims that there’s typically one type of role she’s been offered in Hollywood since her Oscar wins. The actress told The New York Times she’s been typecast as “a nice mom and that’s it. That’s all that ever came [after the Oscars], except in theatre.” Wiest also sent the gossip columns into a tizzy with the quip, “I have to move out of my apartment soon.” She later clarified that her unpredictable acting career and (ironically) covering large tuition bills as a single mother made her New York rent too expensive.

Dianne Wiest: Hollywood’s Mom

You hate to see Wiest limited by Hollywood typecasting, but let’s face it, she does it so well. Since the early 1980s, Wiest has played mom to some of Hollywood’s biggest names. Michael J. Fox (“Bright Lights, Big City”), Corey Haim and Jason Patric (“The Lost Boys”), Winona Ryder and (sort of) Johnny Depp (“Edward Scissorhands”), Lori Singer (“Footloose”), and Joaquin Phoenix (“Parenthood”) are all part of her show biz brood.

And though we’re well beyond the 1980s when Wiest played some of her most iconic “mom” roles, Hollywood refuses to release its grip on her as a mother. She’s now playing parent to another generation of actors, including Steve Carell (“Dan in Real Life”), Amy Poehler and Tina Fey (“Sisters”), and Jeremy Renner (“Mayor of Kingstown”).

But it’s not all bad. Let’s face it, Wiest is a Hollywood treasure and serves as an inspiration for moms everywhere. Her performances have inspired mom blog posts like “How to Handle Motherhood Like Boss mom Dianne Wiest” and social media posts celebrating her as a mother.

Wiest says she turns to the theatre to feed her artistic needs that Hollywood’s mom roles can’t. In 2019 she finished a three-year run as Winnie in Samuel Beckett’s iconic play “Happy Days.” She told the L.A. Times, “I just want to do Beckett’s ‘Happy Days’ over and over again. I don’t want to do anything else, because nothing else comes near it.” Prior to that, she starred in the thought-provoking “Rasheeda Speaking” alongside Tonya Pinkins.

Meanwhile, we’ll continue to relish Wiest as Hollywood’s mom, even though it’s a moniker she’d like to permanently ground, or at least send to bed without dinner.

  • Asian utility companies are stocking up on dirtier fuel oil amid natural gas shortages.
  • That's due to a slash in Russian gas supplies, leading Europe and Asia to compete for the alternatives left on the market.
  • In August, Japan's fuel-oil purchases soared to a four-year high while Taiwan and Bangladesh doubled their purchases from last year.

Asian utility companies are stockpiling fuel oil as the shortage in natural gas supplies boosts demand for dirtier energy alternatives.

Countries in the region typically see seasonal increases in fuel-oil demand to supplement energy supplies. But in August, Japan's purchases soared to a four-year high while Taiwan and Bangladesh doubled their purchases from last year, Bloomberg reported, citing data from Vortexa.

That's largely been fueled by a slash in Russian gas supplies, leading European and Asian utility companies to compete for the alternatives on the market.

Although natural gas is largely used to generate electricity, fuel oil is used as an alternative. But it's highly pollutive – a sign that countries are setting aside green-energy initiatives to ensure there is enough energy inventory ahead of the winter heating season.

Meantime, other dirty energy sources like coal are also seeing increased demand, according to the International Energy Agency.

But while rich North Asian countries are stocking up on fuel oil, most countries in South Asia have already been pushed out of the natural gas market due to the soaring cost of supplies, and some are already experiencing supply disruptions.

India and Pakistan have been hit with blackouts, with Sri Lanka facing the most severe supply shortage, analysts from S&P Global said.

Panera Bread is testing AI-powered bots at the drive-thru.

Panera Bread

  • Panera Bread is known as a restaurant pioneer when it comes to technology.
  • The chain is working with tech startup OpenCity to test voice bot ordering at the drive-thru.
  • OpenCity, which also works with Popeyes, says AI-powered bots can improve accuracy and speed. 

In 2019, Nick Belsito, CEO of food tech startup OpenCity, said many restaurant operators' eyes would glaze over when he talked about his company's artificial intelligence software at food conferences.

Before the pandemic, OpenCity used voice AI technology to automate restaurant reservation orders. 

"When I mentioned A.I. before the pandemic, people looked at me like I was E.T. What is this other-worldly thing?" Belsito said.

With indoor dining shut down at the onset of the 2020 pandemic, the need for reservations went kaput while delivery and drive-thru orders surged. So Belsito shifted OpenCity's business model. 

The startup now automates orders at the drive-thru using an AI-powered bot named Tori.  

The adoption of Tori is picking up steam for the Boston-based startup. Last week, fast-casual giant Panera Bread began testing OpenCity's AI-powered tech at two upstate New York restaurants. Panera joins a Popeyes' franchise restaurant in Louisiana, which started piloting Tori in late April. 

Belsito said OpenCity is taking advantage of a "unique" space with room to improve order accuracy and sales at the drive-thru, where sales represent about 75% of revenue for fast–food restaurants.

"This is core technology that's going to be vital to the future of restaurants," he said.

The owner of the Popeyes restaurant in Louisiana, David Damato, said his company, High Noon Restaurant Group, has seen good results, so far. Speed of service has increased by 20% and order accuracy is at nearly 100%.

The restaurant's drink sales have increased by 150% because Tori automatically upsells high-margin items such as soda fountain drinks, sides, and desserts.

Those stats captured the attention of Panera Bread.

Raj Anbalagan, senior vice president of digital and technology innovation, said Panera is hoping automation will elevate the guest experience by improving accuracy and speed at the drive-thru lane.

"There are a multitude of ways you can do it. And this was one of the ways that we felt that we could test to see if there is a true unlock," Anbalagan told Insider in a recent interview. 

Anbalagan has been pushing innovation for years at Panera. He helped the brand launch digital ordering at the chain in 2014 by adding kiosks in the dining room and mobile orders scheduled through the chain's app. 

Panera is known for building its tech stack in-house.

Still, for this experiment, Anbalagan said it was better to leverage OpenCity's tech "rather than investing and building on our own for the time being," he told Insider. 

Specifically, Anbalagan said he was looking to gain a 5-10% improvement in speed of service using Tori.

He also hopes the experiential aspect of Tori will "delight our guest," he said.

Damato reinforced that Tori has been a "true game-changer" for the restaurant. 

"The guests are having fun, and I was shocked at how quickly Tori learned the Louisiana accent," he said in a statement. "Our team members are loving Tori, too, as it reduces workplace stress since they can focus on serving the guest faster while Tori is taking the order."

Today, hundreds of restaurants across the US are using AI-powered bots to take phone and drive-thru orders including Chipotle, Fazoli's, and Domino's. Some are using OpenCity rivals such as Valyant AI and ConverseNow. 

Belsito said, "Covid has been phenomenal" in changing how the restaurant industry thinks about technology.  

"There's been a tremendous shift. The restaurant space has seen a change in the guard. They realize technology can be their friend," Belsito said. 

OpenCity has raised $ 8 million and works with five different brands in about eight states. Backers include Composite Ventures and NXT Ventures.  

"I expect to be in thousands of restaurants next year," Belsito said.

Wingstop

  • With guests cutting back on visits, Wingstop's new CEO explains his playbook for boosting sales.  
  • One move is ending an exclusive delivery partnership with DoorDash and adding Uber Eats. 
  • Last week Wingstop also entered the chicken sandwich wars, years after competitors.  

Wingstop was among several tech-savvy restaurant chains that became a pandemic winner, logging more than $ 1 billion in digital sales in 2020. 

But as consumers deal with record inflation this year, many are cutting back on restaurant visits. That's hurting chains like Wingstop, which installed a new chief executive, Michael Skipworth, in March. In its last earnings call in late July, the company said customer visits are down. 

In an interview last week with Insider, Skipworth said he's betting on three plays to reverse that trend – entering the chicken sandwich wars, introducing bundled meal deals, and adding Uber Eats as a new delivery partner. That latter is a significant move as DoorDash has been the chain's exclusive delivery partner for years.

"We have a proven playbook," said Skipworth, who was previously Wingstop's chief operating officer and finance chief.

Skipworth explains his three-pronged approach to increasing sales at Wingstop, which operates more than 1,800 restaurants worldwide. The majority of Wingstop stores are franchised locations in the US.

Now is the right time to enter the chicken sandwich wars

Three years ago, Popeyes introduced a spicy chicken sandwich that broke the internet and launched a war with Chick-fil-A. Other national fast food chains introduced their versions of chicken sandwiches over the course of a year, including Wendy's, Sonic, and KFC. 

Even Taco Bell wanted a piece of the action, launching a chicken sandwich taco in Tennessee and North Carolina in early 2021.

Wingstop didn't move on a chicken sandwich at the time because "we didn't need it," Skipworth said.

Until now.

Last week, the chain rolled out 12 chicken sandwiches offering the same flavors as their wings.

Skipworth said the company rarely adds new items to its menu. Last year, it introduced the delivery-only brand Thighstop, a supply chain hack created to save the brand from soaring chicken wing prices. Before that, he said the previous new menu item the company launched was more than a decade ago when it introduced boneless wings. 

Skipworth said he expects the chicken sandwich to bring "meaningful growth" to the brand because price-conscious consumers will be excited about the value of the new menu item. 

"We felt now is the right time for a chicken sandwich. We were able to leverage our size and scale and negotiate really good pricing with our strategic supplier partners," Skipworth said.

The a la carte price of Wingstop's chicken sandwich is $ 5.49. By comparison, spicy chicken sandwiches cost $ 5.29 at Chick-fil-A and $ 4.49 at Popeyes. The crispy chicken sandwich at Shake Shack cost $ 7.79, according to prices found at those restaurants in Southern California. 

Wingstop expects to reach more delivery consumers with Uber Eats and DoorDash 

DoorDash introduced its white-label delivery platform, DoorDash Drive, in 2016. Fast-casual chains Wingstop and Chipotle were early adopters of the program. 

DoorDash delivers orders made through Wingstop's app or website for a fee.

Skipworth said that Wingstop had used DoorDash as an exclusive delivery partner since at least 2017.  He described the nation's top delivery provider as "an incredible partner for us."

But, with the "challenging backdrop in 2022," Skipworth said this summer was "a good opportunity" to look at adding another delivery operator.

Wingstop chose Uber Eats because, like DoorDash, it has been "really smart about building loyalty" to its platform through subscription services that reach millions of consumers. DoorDash's DashPass, for example, has over 10 million members globally. 

"We knew there was this consumer base out there that we weren't serving today," Skipworth said of Uber Eats. "And we felt this was the right time to pull that lever in and again, bring more guests into Wingstop through the Uber platform."

While there's some overlap between consumers who use DoorDash and Uber Eats, Skipworth said the data shows that both delivery apps serve "two distinct consumer groups."

He said he doesn't expect a "meaningful impact to our existing DoorDash business." 

"While it's only a couple of weeks into the Uber Eats national launch, and without any advertising support, we are encouraged by the early results," Skipworth told investors during a conference call in July. 

By adding Uber Eats, Wingstop joins a fray of chains that have been breaking away from exclusive delivery partnerships to boost delivery sales. McDonald's dropped Uber Eats as an exclusive partner in 2019. During the pandemic, Chipotle added Uber Eats as a delivery partner after working with Postmates and DoorDash. 

Wingstop is leaning into value deals thanks to wing deflation

Wingstop developed the virtual brand, Thighstop, last year to save money on soaring chicken wing prices, which reached $ 3.25 a pound in 2021.

By creating a thigh-focused menu, a part of the bird the company never used, Wingstop saved money by buying whole chickens from suppliers. A year later, the price per pound is now $ 1.15 as demand for chicken wings cools, causing excess inventory and deflation, the CEO said.

That is allowing Wingstop to "lean into" adding value deals to the menu, Skipworth said. One example that is driving traffic is the recently introduced Boneless Meal Deal. The $ 15.99 value meal includes 20 boneless wings and a large fry. 

"We saw a marked improvement in the sales trends during the quarter," Skipworth said.

In 2021, Wingstop recorded its 18th consecutive year of same-store sales growth, a vital indicator of a company's financial health. By adding Uber Eats, leaning into value, and introducing chicken sandwiches, Skipworth said he's got a playbook that "sets the stage for 19 consecutive years of same-store sales growth."

Sony PlayStation believes that the PSVR has become the top virtual reality bundle on the market.

So it would make sense that they would like to keep the competition on consoles to a minimum, especially when planning their next VR device.

While the company has not revealed its plans for the PS5, they have revealed that PlayStation virtual reality support will continue.

Sony’s Shawn Layden recently revealed that the industry was heading toward the next generation of devices, a sure sign that PS5 compatibility will be available.

Speaking during the DICE conference, (via UploadVR) Layden said that “much of VR is one dot out, and it still feels experimental.”

He followed this up by adding: “We’re starting to see progress towards VR 2.0 games and software.”

“Astro Bot used the VR medium to redefine what a platformer could be, and to very good effect.

“A game of this quality arriving in the first generation of new technology helps us lay a foundation for everyone to build upon.”

So if PlayStation will continue their support for VR, what are Microsoft’s plans for the future?

Well, according to one developer, Microsoft is not making encouraging noises about their own secret plans.

And this could mean that VR won’t be available on the next Xbox console until it’s seen as a more viable video games platform.

Pablo Lafora, the game designer at Tessera Studios, revealed the news, telling Gamingbolt: “No matter how much I ask, I never get any news on Microsoft VR.

“Just some rumours about HoloLens 2. It seems like they don’t have much interest in VR. On one hand, it looks like right now they won’t include VR features on their next console.

“On the other hand… that sounds really risky. Maybe the next Xbox will be HoloLens 2 compatible? It might be, but we don’t think the console/marketing will make HoloLens the core of it all.”

Microsoft did tell fans that the Xbox One X would support virtual reality, something that has not panned out.

So, with no fresh hints being dropped from Microsoft in regards to VR, it could mean the tech giant has different plans for Xbox.

We already know that Project xCloud is a major project for the company, which will likely take up a lot of resources.

This is expected to land sometime in 2019 and will allow gamers to stream Xbox games to devices such as mobile phones and consoles.

And ultimately this could prove to be great news for consumers, allowing fans to choose between unique features when it comes to next-gen support.

The Mariners on Thursday confirmed the signing of Jem Karacan for the rest of the season and hope to unveil him for their next home game against Melbourne Victory on February 2.

Karacan, a Turkish youth international, arrived in Gosford on Tuesday following a four-game stint with Championship club Millwall in England’s second-tier.

The 29-year-old also had stints at Turkish giants Galatasaray and English club Bolton, though he is best known for his 175-game career at Reading. It was there he played alongside current Mariners defender Kalifa Cisse and Sydney FC marquee Adam Le Fondre.

Karacan captained Reading, Bolton and Turkish age group sides and hopes to use that experience to help lift the Mariners from the foot of the A-League table. “I’m a leader, hopefully I can show the lads on and off the pitch that I’m a good professional who leads by example,” Karacan said.

“I’m hopeful I can shine and do everything I can to help the club.” Mariners coach Mike Mulvey, whose side have claimed just one victory all year, revealed the club was in negotiations with Karacan prior to the season betting underway.

Talks then resumed just before Christmas, and Mulvey suggested a good showing could lead to a contract extension.

“The first thing you need to look at with a VISA player coming in is their attitude, what kind of demeanour are they going to bring,” Mulvey said. “We’ve signed Jem on a short-term contract, so he will need to come in and prove a point. If it goes well, we will look at longer term.

“Right now, he’s coming out to play and to win.” After going down 1-0 to Newcastle on Wednesday, the Mariners meet Adelaide on the road on Sunday before returning home to host the Victory.

Bayern on Tuesday made a fourth bid of around £35 million for the 18-year-old Chelsea winger, who is refusing to sign a new deal at Stamford Bridge, but who the club are trying to persuade to stay.

Chelsea fear they are fighting a losing battle trying to keep the youngster, who played in Tuesday night’s Carabao Cup first leg semi-final defeat to Tottenham at Wembley.

Bayern Director of Football Hasan Salihamidzic said: “He is a very interesting player whom we really want to sign. He has qualities that fit into our game. He can dribble well and has a drive towards goal. He has a lot of potential.”

So far, Bayern have not broken any Fifa rules with Salihamidzic’s comments, but Chelsea sources have confirmed the club will consider reporting Bayern to Fifa if there is any evidence of an approach to Hudson-Odoi or his representatives.

But Chelsea’s pursuit of AC Milan striker Gonzalo Higuain got a massive boost on Wednesday night, as it emerged that the Argentine striker is furious at Milan Sporting Director Leonardo’s comments about him this week – and is prepared to force a move to the Premier League.

Leonardo said of the 31-year-old, who is Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri’s top target and whom Chelsea are in talks about signing from Juventus, who have loaned him to Milan: “He has to make a decision and take on his share of the responsibility. He needs to get down and actually do something for this team.”

Chelsea will have to take over the six months remaining of the loan, which will cost them £9m, and then a fee of around of £36m in the summer for a permanent deal. Higuain is keen to be reunited with his old Napoli coach.

Alvaro Morata, who Chelsea are willing to allow to leave this month if they can bring in a replacement, is in talks with Seville over a loan deal leading to a possible permanent move, but the two clubs are still some way apart on the fee.

Sevilla manager Pablo Machin said: “A problem? Not at all. Having Morata would be a bloody blessing for me. Many teams want him because he’s worth it. The aim of the club is clear: we want to bring the best in. If due to finances it can’t go ahead, nobody can feel frustrated. If we can’t, we will lower the bar a bit.”

Atletico Madrid though are also interested in the striker.

Besides Higuain, Chelsea also considering contract rebel Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi, Bournemouth forward Callum Wilson, and Leicester’s Jamie Vardy.

Midfielder Cesc Fabregas, who has agreed a deal with Monaco, has seen his deal held up while Chelsea try to secure a replacement, with Cagliari’s Nicolo Barella and Zenit St Petersburg’s Leandro Paredes both targets.
