Mayor Adams allowed to hire brother in diminished role for $1 salary: board ruling

Mayor Eric Adams’ brother will still get to work alongside him, but after a board ruling, he’ll be taking a smaller role for almost no money at all.

Bernard Adams will serve as a “senior adviser for mayoral security” instead of “executive director of mayoral security,” the New York Times reported Thursday.

Eric’s brother, 56, will do it for just $1 — a lot less than the $210,000 annually he could’ve raked in for the executive role that was within the NYPD. The mayoral security role was another bump down from the originally proposed role of deputy police commissioner, which Eric had reportedly planned to first make him before nepotism backlash began.

According to the ruling, no city personnel can report to Bernard, and can’t have any “command authority” in the NYPD. He will advise his brother on security and community engagement, while the NYPD will still oversee the mayor’s detail, the report said.

Bernard, though, will continue to receive a pension of over $60,000, the Times reported, for his decades as an NYPD officer.

"Or we could talk about the thing that everyone is talking about," one guy said. "No, you saw what happened. We have to talk about something else," Corden said.

Netflix Puts New Will Smith Movie on Hold

Netflix has placed Will Smith's new movie on hold after the last week's drama. The Hollywood Reporter  indicates that Fast and Loose will have to be shelved. Director David Leitch recently backed away from the project  and now there's even more turmoil. It seems as though the filmmaker is directing his attention towards the new Ryan Gosling picture, Fall Guy over at Universal Pictures. For Netflix, there was a full court press to find another director to replace Leitch, but now, they've decided to let things cool off  before putting Smith back out there again.  For the Fresh Prince star, he's still got Emancipation coming out on Apple+ at some point. The slave escape movie is in post-production and will need to be released in some form. His other work with Bad Boys  will also be paused for the moment. Audiences loved the latest entry in the series. It all seems a bit like window dressing in an industry where comebacks are about as common as the ...
