    Rosario Dawson Narrowly Avoided Injury on New Outrageous TV Show

    TBS

    The ‘Sin City: A Dame to Kill for’ actress is left shocked by the dangerous stunts on the ‘Go-Big Show’ where she serves as a judge along with Snoop Dogg and Jennifer Nettles.

    Jan 29, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Rosario Dawson put herself “in danger” so many times on the “Go-Big Show” – but still had the “most incredible” experience of her life.
    The actress is a judge, alongside Snoop Dogg and singer Jennifer Nettles, on the outrageous new TV contest, which pits daredevils against each other – and she’s often called upon to take part in their risky acts.
    In one show, she narrowly avoided an avalanche of arrows that were shot in her direction, screaming in fear as she risked serious injury.
    “He (competitor) shot an arrow that started a triggering of all the other arrows which I walked by…,” she explains. “There’s so many moments in this show that I had to keep reminding myself that I guess I signed an insurance waiver (release) at some point because they had me in danger so many times.”

    And she admitted she has been shocked by some of the show’s scary scenarios.
    “It kept happening after the fact, where I’d realise, ‘Oh, that’s what I just signed up for. I might have needed that information a little bit more ahead’,” she groaned. “But I have to say I had the most incredible experience I’ve ever had in my life.”
    “What Go Big means for different people is just absolutely extraordinary. There’s this guy, Andrew, who swallowed a sword and then had me levitate off of his face. And another guy… this was unbelievable, it brought Snoop to his knees… He’s a strongman and he had both me and Jennifer on this huge pole that he swung. He was rotating it, we were swinging in the air. It brought me to tears, it was so amazing. We were flying.”
    The “Go-Big Show” debuted in America earlier this month (Jan21).

    Zendaya Defends 12-Year Age Gap Between Her and 'Malcolm and Marie' Co-Star John David Washington

    Netflix

    The ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ actress dismisses controversy over the age gap between her and onscreen love interest in new movie, claiming people still think that she’s a teenager.

    Jan 29, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Zendaya insists the reason the 12-year age gap between her and “Malcolm & Marie” co-star John David Washington caused such a storm is because people still think she’s a teenager. The 36-year-old “Tenet” star and the 24-year-old “Euphoria” actress play the titular filmmaker and his girlfriend in the upcoming drama for Netflix.
    And despite the fact that there are many more dramatic age gaps between actors on screen, the one between Zendaya and Washington hit more than a few headlines.
    Reacting to the controversy during an interview with E!’s Daily Pop, Zendaya reflected that because she’s grown up on-screen, people still see her as a lot younger than she actually is.
    “I’ve played a 16-year-old since I was 16,” she said. “You have to remember, also, people grew up with me as a child. It’s like watching, I guess, your younger sibling now, you know, they’re grown…So it’s hard for people to wrap around the idea that I am grown in real life. You know, even though I do play a teenager on television still.”

      See also…

    Zendaya’s comments come after Washington also opened up about the age gap recently, insisting he “wasn’t concerned” ahead of taking on the project.
    “I wasn’t concerned about it because she is a woman,” he told Variety. “People are going to see in this film how much of a woman she is. She has far more experience than I do in the industry. I’ve only been in it for seven years. She’s been in it longer, so I’m learning from her. I’m the rookie.”
    “I was leaning on her for a lot.”
    “Some of the stories she’s shared about what she’s had to go through with Twitter and everything. I appreciated her wisdom and discernment when it comes to this business. I admire that.”

    Jared Leto Says His Oscar's 'Magically' Disappeared Three Years Ago

    WENN/Dave Bedrosian

    The ‘Morbius’ actor believes he misplaced the prize, which he nabbed for his performance in ‘Dallas Buyers Club’, when he moved to a new home in Los Angeles.

    Jan 28, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Jared Leto has lost track of one of his most-prized possessions. The actor/musician revealed that he has not seen his Oscar, which he won in 2014, since three years ago and his search for it turned to no avail.
    The 30 Seconds to Mars vocalist got candid about the unknown whereabouts of his golden statuette during an interview on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” on Tuesday night, January 26. Appearing virtually to promote his new movie “The Little Things”, he told the host, “I found out that it’s been missing for three years,” Leto, 49, told James Corden. “I didn’t know that – I don’t think anyone wanted to tell me.”
    Leto confided that he might have lost it when he moved to a new house in Los Angeles, California. “But I had moved houses in L.A. and then when we moved, it somehow just magically kind of disappeared,” he shared to James Corden. “It could be somewhere, but everyone’s searched for it high and low.”

    The 49-year-old, however, remains hopeful of its existence, saying, “I hope it’s in good hands wherever it is. We haven’t seen it for quite some time.” When asked if he thought someone had taken it, Leto responded, “I think it’s a good possibility, it’s not something someone accidentally throws in the trash.”
    Though he may never be able to see the Oscar again, Leto doesn’t have any regret as he has made quite some memories with it. “I remember the night I got it, I passed it around to so many people,” he said of bringing the prize to an after-party after winning it. “It was beat up and scratched up, but people had fun taking pictures with it. It’s nice to share it so hopefully, someone is taking good care of it.”

    Leto nabbed the Best Supporting Actor title at the 86th Academy Awards for his role as a transgender woman in “Dallas Buyers Club” (2013). The movie earned five other nominations and won two of them, including Best Actor for Matthew McConaughey and Best Makeup and Hairstyling for Adruitha Lee and Robin Mathews.

    AMC/Macall Polay

    Billed as a teen-centric variation on ‘The Walking Dead’, ‘World Beyond’ features gay couple, former security officer Felix Carlucci (Nico Tortorella) and his boyfriend Will Campbell (Jelani Alladin).

    Jan 28, 2021
    AceShowbiz – “The Walking Dead: World Beyond” has reacted to criticism it has been receiving regarding the inclusion of a gay couple on the spin-off series of “The Walking Dead”. Making use of the franchise’s official Twitter account, “The Walking Dead” shared a strong message to the naysayers.
    “Hi, hello. If LGBTQ+ characters on television (or anywhere) make you uncomfortable or angry, please unfollow us,” the account wrote on Monday, January 25. “While we also encourage you to look within and be more accepting, know that there is no place in our fandom for hateful discrimination or willful ignorance. Thank you.”

    Despite the tweet, some viewers still reacted negatively to the gay storyline. “It doesn’t bother me, but the amount of them that are on the show (s) is unrealistic,” one viewer noted in a reply. Another critic argued, “Its not about the lgbtq characters, its how you introduce them in the series. Its like you forcing them in your series just to bring lbgt supporters. I mean i love Aaron character, that was a good introduction tbh.”
    Someone else added, “Don’t care about it at all. I care about good story lines. If the lgbt characters story feels contrived then it’s a token gesture and not organic. Just be authentic is all im asking for.” Echoing the sentiment, another person wrote, “Series was worth watching while the story was the most important aspect of it… now is identity politics and belittling fans No wonder viwership is low, keep using the same formula and go broke.”
    Billed as a teen-centric variation on “The Walking Dead”, “World Beyond” features a gay couple, former security officer Felix Carlucci (Nico Tortorella) and his boyfriend Will Campbell (Jelani Alladin). Of his character’s love story on the show, Jelani said in the January 25 episode of “Talk Dead to Me” podcast, “It was just two men who happened to be in love. There was no need to explain anything further. I love that ‘The Walking Dead’ is putting that forward: that LGBTQ relationships are nothing different than any other kind of relationship.”

    Sarah Trott Insists She's Single While Filming 'The Bachelor' Despite DJ Bijou 'Steamy Pictures'

    Instagram

    The former contestant in Matt James’ season emphasizes that she does not ‘have a boyfriend before, during or after her appearance’ on the hit dating show.

    Jan 28, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Sarah Trott did not date anyone during her appearance on “The Bachelor”. Having been caught in romance rumors with Ben Dorman a.k.a. DJ Bijou after their “steamy pictures” surfaced online, the ex-contestant in Matt James’ season insists that she was single during the filming of the hit dating show.
    “Sarah unequivocally did not have a boyfriend before, during or after her appearance on ‘The Bachelor’,” a representative for the 24-year-old reality star said in a statement to the press. “When she took a trip to Cabo in August 2020, she did so with a group of friends, Ben Dorman being one of them.”
    “Ben and Sarah had a fun trip with their mutual friends, and while there may have been some intimate moments between them, it did not lead to a relationship,” the rep added in the statement. “Sarah went on the trip to Cabo single and came back single, still on her journey to find love, which is why she agreed to go on ‘The Bachelor’ a month or so later.”

      See also…

    “Any photographs or text messages mentioned are taken out of context and a misrepresentation of the circumstances,” her representative further detailed. “Ultimately, Sarah left ‘The Bachelor due the deteriorating health of her father and the awful treatment she received from the other cast members, not due to a purported relationship with Ben.”
    The clarifying statement came after “steamy pictures” of Sarah and Ben during their vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico circulated online. In one of some photos obtained by The Sun, the broadcast journalist was seen kissing the tattooed DJ as he placed his hand on her thigh.
    Sarah left “The Bachelor” after having tense arguments with other contestants. They were displeased by her action of crashing a group date between Matt and Katie Thurston due to her issue with “jealousy.” Although she had apologized for it, they didn’t seem to accept her apology easily.
    Hours after she left the show, Sarah appeared to throw shade at her former fellow contestant, Victoria Larson. Making use of Instagram on Monday, January 18, she posted a note that read, “Real queens fix each other’s crowns.” She might have referred the quote to Victoria who has dubbed herself “the Queen.”

    Nicole Kidman on Criticism of Her Lucille Ball Role in Aaron Sorkin's Movie: Give It a Go

    WENN/Avalon

    Amid doubts if she is the right woman for the role in ‘Being the Ricardos’, the Oscar winner expresses her excitement for people to see what the filmmaker has in store for the biopic.

    Jan 28, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Nicole Kidman has defended her casting as Lucille Ball in Aaron Sorkin’s new movie, insisting she’s done her research to play the U.S. TV icon.
    As fans clamour for film bosses to recast and hire Debra Messing to play the “I Love Lucy” star, Kidman insists she’s the right woman for the role in biopic “Being the Ricardos”.
    In a new interview with Variety, the Australian actress says, “I love Lucille, having looked now and delved into her. She’s an amazing woman.”
    “I’m very excited for people to see what Aaron (Sorkin) found out about her… I didn’t know any of this.”
    Javier Bardem will star opposite Nicole as Lucille’s husband Desi Arnaz in the Amazon movie.
    “With Aaron’s words and his direction and Javier… that’s kind of a wonderful prospect… Give it a go. Try my best. See if I can do it.”

    Nicole has one very important fan in her corner – Lucille and Desi’s daughter Lucie Arnaz, who has expressed her support for the actress in a Facebook video.
    “There seems to be a lot of discussion about: ‘Nicole Kidman, it should be Debra Messing, it should be Carole Cook,’ I don’t know,” Lucie said.
    “Here’s the deal, what you should understand: We are not doing a remake of ‘I Love Lucy’. No one has to impersonate Lucy Ricardo… It’s the story of Lucille Ball – my actual mother – not Lucy Ricardo and her husband Desi Arnaz, my dad – not Ricky Ricardo…”

    “I hope I can set the record straight here and say stop arguing about ‘Who should play it? She doesn’t look like her? The nose isn’t the same, she isn’t as funny’… Just trust us. It’s gonna be a nice film.”

    Dwayne Johnson Forced to Relive 'Incredibly Complicated' relationship With Dad for 'Young Rock'

    Instagram

    The wrestler-turned-actor refuses to take ‘the easy route’ as he relived his difficult relationship with late father for the new sitcom about his younger self.

    Jan 28, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Dwayne Johnson had to relive some “incredibly tough” memories about his late father for his new sitcom “Young Rock”.
    The upcoming show – which is based on The Rock’s life and sees Joseph Lee Anderson playing Rocky Johnson – is largely lighthearted while still referencing some of his early struggles during his formative years.
    Speaking during NBC’s TCA press tour on Tuesday (26Jan21), he said, “I thought, well, let’s not take the easy route. But it was incredibly complicated and it was incredibly tough… Growing up, and you know we specifically went with these timelines in my life that were very defining times at 10 years old, 15 and 18… there’s a lot of things in between those years that took place…”
    “But it was complicated and the relationship that I had with my dad was incredibly complicated – that was fuelled by tough love.”

      See also…

    Dwayne noted how his dad was “kicked out of his house at 13,” which “shaped the man” who raised him.
    “And in that complication came an extraordinary life that was full of travel,” he continued. “I lived in 13 different states by the time I was 13 years old, also lived in New Zealand.”
    The 48-year-old former WWE superstar – who followed his father’s footsteps into the wrestling business before becoming a Hollywood star – also heaped praise on Anderson’s portrayal of Rocky in the sitcom.
    “My dad died one year ago this month last year, he died suddenly, and he’s obviously featured throughout the show and Joseph, he did a tremendous job playing my dad,” he smiled.Dwayne’s comments about the show came as it was revealed that Rosario Dawson and Randall Park have been cast in the programme. Rosario will play General Monica Jackson, who will help Johnson in his bid to become U.S. president while Park will star as himself.

    Christa B. Allen Will 'Absolutely' Be Invited to Upcoming 'Revenge' Reunion

    WENN

    The organizer of the upcoming virtual event insists the Charlotte Grayson depicter is not snubbed after the actress said she was not invited to the online reunion.

    Jan 28, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Christa B. Allen will “absolutely” be invited to be part of the “Revenge” reunion, the coordinator of the event has promised.
    The actress, who portrayed Charlotte Grayson on the U.S. TV show from 2011 to 2015, had taken to Instagram on Monday (25Jan21) to reveal she was feeling snubbed after not being asked to be part of the virtual event, which involved her former co-stars Emily VanCamp, Josh Bowman, Nick Wechsler, and Barry Sloane.
    However, after expressing her disappointment and telling fans she’d host a free reunion on her own on TikTok on the same day – 6 February (21) – Winklepicker Entertainment founder Mark Wright, who is in charge of the reunion, said that they’d opted against hosting the event on the original platform of Tixr, because of the limitations in terms of how many people could be involved.

      See also…

    Instead, they’ve moved to a different platform, and Wright is in the process of reaching out to other castmembers to invite them to participate in the reunion.
    “In the beginning, we could only accommodate four of the cast members because of tech limitations,” he told E! News. “Within the last few weeks, we ended up joining with a new platform, so we’re going to be able to expand the event. Now, we’re looking to include the other cast members, if they’re available. I’m inviting them all this week.”
    “I just want to make it right with her, let her know that she was on my list to reach out to invite. She just beat me to the punch because the marketing team started posting stuff to get the ball rolling, and we planned to continue to add people as we go.”
    Admitting he has yet to officially contact Christa, Wright added that she will “absolutely” be invited.
