Pixar's 'Inside Out 2' has made history by crossing $1 billion at the global box office in record time. Meanwhile, Taiwanese singer Panai used her platform at the Golden Melody Awards to remind audiences of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, a sensitive topic amid China-Taiwan tensions.

Following is a summary of current entertainment news briefs.

'Inside Out 2' hits $1 billion at global box office

Pixar movie "Inside Out 2" has crossed the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office in less than three weeks of release, reaching that level in the fastest time of any animated film in history, Walt Disney Co said on Sunday. The film is the highest-grossing movie of the year and the only one to cross $1 billion, said Disney, which owns Pixar.

Don't forget Tiananmen, Taiwan singer tells prestigious music awards

Taiwanese singer and activist Panai called on Saturday at one of the most prestigious entertainment events in the Chinese-speaking world for people not to forget China's bloody 1989 crackdown on pro-democracy protesters at Tiananmen Square. Chinese artists in recent years have largely stayed away from Taiwan's Golden Melody Awards given renewed tension between democratically governed Taiwan and China, which views the island as its own territory. The reference to Tiananmen is unlikely to endear Beijing to the ceremony.
