You can always argue that the contract deprives you of your livelihood. The word entertainment industry is very ambiguous.
It really depends on the company to exercise their rights. Most do not. It would be unrealistic to have that contract, which is standard, and exercise it in every profession then every one would be looking for different industry everytime. You can always ask them to narrow it down to specific direct competitors but that might cause more suspicion.As for working on the side, as long is it does not interfere with normal working business it should not matter. Also, if you are getting work from direct clients / former clients / or competitor on the out side of the norm.
In most cases, companies do not exercise it unless, you steal work / client, take others with you when you leave, you work directly to competitor where there is insider knowledge or information.
Dont worry too much about it.
