Amelia Harvey
Amelia Harvey is a freelance entertainment and lifestyle journalist whose work for Yahoo Entertainment focuses on how celebrity stories, pop culture milestones, and film projects resonate with fans and the wider culture. She combines fast-turn news writing on controversies, deaths, and public statements with a critic’s eye sharpened by years of film and TV reviewing across specialist outlets. Her coverage consistently foregrounds women and queer figures in entertainment and uses mainstream news hooks as entry points to broader conversations about memory, legacy, and representation.
Celebrity news, loss, and public statements
Harvey’s recent work at Yahoo Entertainment shows a steady focus on celebrity news that carries emotional or reputational weight. She has covered the confirmation of the cause of death of Chad Lowe’s daughter Fiona, treating a family tragedy as a news story while keeping attention on the human stakes and official updates.
She reports on tributes and friendships between public figures, as in her piece about Ruby Rose remembering Hayden Panettiere as her “best friend” and describing how closely their lives and interests aligned. Her coverage of Olivia Wilde sharing Pamela Anderson’s advice during the Don’t Worry Darling controversy fits the same pattern, using direct quotes and context to explore how celebrities navigate public criticism and support each other across generations of fame.
Her celebrity desk work is built around statements, tributes, and confirmations, rather than rumor, and often involves unpacking how those moments land with audiences.
Music icons and awards-show history
Harvey extends her celebrity focus into music history, particularly around iconic performances and long-running creative partnerships. She has written about Britney Spears’ 2001 MTV Video Music Awards performance, framing it as a awards-show moment that is still widely hailed as “legendary” and drawing out why it remains central to Spears’ public image decades later.
In another piece, she reports on the nearly six-decade songwriting partnership between Elton John and Bernie Taupin, highlighting how their shared love of music and independent personal lives underpin a durable collaboration. These stories show her interest in legacy and craft: she uses present-day anniversaries and interviews to revisit how specific performances or partnerships shaped pop culture, rather than treating music coverage as only release-driven news.
Film casting, franchises, and industry shifts
On the film side of her work for Yahoo Entertainment, Harvey covers casting decisions and franchise developments with an eye to controversy and fan response. Her article on Anne Hathaway joining Tom Cruise in a planned 2028 sequel to Days of Thunder focuses on the “controversial” nature of the casting and project, signalling how a new installment in a familiar property can divide audiences and generate debate.
Outside Yahoo Entertainment, she writes regularly about film news and reviews across genre-focused outlets, including work for Frame Rated, Nerdspin, That Hashtag Show, Signal Horizon, and Screen Queens. At That Hashtag Show she reviews and reports on a range of titles - from Noah Baumbach’s Hollywood-set dramedy Jay Kelly to Jim Jarmusch’s work and films like Rental Family - often in the context of festival coverage and industry events.
Across these assignments, she balances plot and performance analysis with attention to where films sit in the wider landscape of cinema, giving her news pieces on franchises and casting a critic’s sense of stakes.
Film and TV criticism with a focus on women and queer stories
Harvey works not only as a news writer but as a Rotten Tomatoes-approved film and TV critic, with extensive experience in reviews and commentary. Her professional bios emphasize that she has written hundreds of film and television reviews, entertainment features, and evergreen pieces, often for independent and genre-leaning outlets.
She is a member of GALECA and the UK Film Critics Association, and descriptions of her work there underline a particular interest in female-led narratives and LGBTQ+ stories in film and television. This focus is reflected in her choice of projects and in the way her criticism highlights representation, queer themes, and women’s perspectives alongside more traditional discussions of direction, performance, and structure. She also writes lifestyle and entertainment features for sites like TheThings and Metro, where she brings the same pop culture literacy to topics such as celebrity culture, relationships to media, and everyday lifestyle trends.
Across platforms, her writing maintains a consistent through-line: she approaches entertainment as both industry and lived culture, paying particular attention to stories that matter to women, queer audiences, and fans deeply invested in pop culture history.
