    Daisy Ridley Opens Up About the Not So Good Side of Joining 'Star Wars'

    Walt Disney Pictures

    The 28-year-old actress who plays the lead heroine in the new ‘Star Wars’ trilogy talks about the downside of being in one of the biggest movie franchises in Hollywood.

    Jan 10, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Daisy Ridley has been left scared by “Star Wars” fans turning up at her house.
    The 28-year-old actress became a household name when she was cast as Rey in the most recent “Star Wars” trilogy and, although she had the “best time” making the movies, she admitted such a high-profile role brought with it a lot of unwanted attention.
    She told Tatler magazine, “Star Wars was ‘This Thing.’ And then it was ‘This Thing That Came to an End.’ It hasn’t always been easy.”
    “There are things (about being in Star Wars) I don’t like talking about, because it’s not the good side. People turn up at your doorstep, that’s scary.”
    “And I’ve been followed, that’s a bit ‘woah.’ But in terms of the actual experience?”

      See also…

    “I had the best time. And now I’m out of it, I feel like I want to work really hard and honour the decision of the people that cast me.”
    The star went on to admit she will always be baffled as to why she was chosen for the role.
    She said, “I just think there will always be a question, ‘why was it me? That will always be there. Why me?’ ”
    However, she’s reached a point where she needs to stop questioning her success and just accept her luck was in.
    She added, “I know there were a thousand other actresses who could have done it. I guess ultimately it came to a point where I decided I have to be OK with this.”
    “I got this magical piece of luck. The stars aligned. I have to be OK with the amazing chance. That’s it.”

    Gal Gadot Burst Into Tears Watching 'Wonder Woman 1984' for First Time

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    The Diana Prince depicter has a very reaction to the ‘Wonder Woman’ sequel, claiming that she was overwhelmed with emotions when she was watching it for the first time.

    Jan 10, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Gal Gadot was “caught off guard” by her emotions the first time she saw “Wonder Woman 1984”.
    The 35-year-old actress was so transported by the film – in which she plays Diana Prince and her titular alter ego – that she didn’t even think about her own involvement.
    She told HELLO! Magazine, “I can’t tell you about the moment in the movie that made me cry other than it happens at the very beginning.”
    “I’ve never experienced that before. I was watching and all of a sudden I wasn’t the actress, the producer, or anything on set.”
    “I was a little girl from a suburb in Israel watching this amazing character doing such incredible things. And I’m not an easy crier. I’m not the kind of woman who watches commercials and cries.”

      See also…

    “I just had such a strong reaction to this movie and it caught me off guard. Usually, I save my crying for special occasions… like when I’m pregnant!”
    Gadot is proud her character has proven to be inspirational for so many people.
    She said, “It’s something I wasn’t really prepared for, so to see and hear the reaction from women, men, boys and girls, is just incredible.”
    And one fan, in particular, has stuck with her.
    She said, “There was one little boy I will always remember. He saw the movie and told his mother, ‘When I grow up, I want to be a woman.’ ”
    “It was all because of Wonder Woman and everything she stands for and symbolises.”

    David Hasselhoff on Working on New 'Knight Rider' Movie: I Have 'Emotional Hand' and 'Passion'

    Instagram

    Despite not knowing whether he will appear in the upcoming movie, the 68-year-old actor portraying Michael Knight on the original TV action series admits to having invested in the conception of the flick.

    Jan 9, 2021
    AceShowbiz – David Hasselhoff had an “emotional hand” in the conception of the new “Knight Rider” movie.
    The 68-year-old actor starred as crime-fighter Michael Knight in the TV action series between 1982 and 1986.
    Speaking to Consequence of Sound, the star revealed that he is invested in the upcoming movie – despite not knowing if he will have a role in the flick.
    He said, “The details I can share are I have an emotional hand in it and I have a passion.”
    “The guy who’s writing it is a major ‘Knight Rider’ fan. He sent me a picture of him in the ‘Knight Rider’ car. His name is T.J. Fixman.”

    Hasselhoff continued, “The concept, I don’t really know. I threw my hat into the ring as ‘nostalgia meets Knight Rider of today’, which is not a new ‘Knight Rider’, but a continuation of it.”
    “They want to do a script that has my approval on it. Whether I’m in it or not, or whether I approve of it, the answer is: I don’t know.”
    The “Baywatch” star had been hoping to bring “Knight Rider” – which follows the adventures of Michael Knight and his assistant KITT, an almost indestructible talking car – to the big screen for several years and is keen that this adaptation remains faithful to the TV series.
    “I had the rights for about 10 years to ‘Knight Rider’, and I couldn’t get a bite. And these guys have it now because of the timing, because of the resurgence of nostalgia, because the guy who’s doing it gets it,” he explained.
    “It’s not about a talking car. It’s about the relationship between Michael and KITT. And it’s also about the action and ‘one man can make a difference’. And if they do that, I’ll probably support it. If they don’t do that, they’ve hassled The Hoff.”

    'Jeopardy!' Bids Farewell to Host Alex Trebek in Touching Final Message

    NBC

    The game show posts a tribute video to Alex, who hosted the show for 37 seasons until he passed away on November 8, 2020, with a 90-second clip compiling his moments over the years.

    Jan 9, 2021
    AceShowbiz – “Jeopardy!” has bid farewell to Alex Trebek. In honor of the late host who fronted the show for 37 seasons until he passed away from cancer two months earlier, the game show shared a touching final message for him.
    On Friday, January 8, the game show let out a compilation video highlighting Alex’s moments over the years via Twitter and YouTube. With Peter Allen’s “Once Before I Go” playing in the background, the 90-second clip looked back at Alex’s iconic mustache as well as footage from “family visiting day” when his children, Matthew and Emily Trebek, visited him.
    There is also a montage of clips showing off Alex’s dance moves through the years despite his claims that he did not “dance.” Ending the tribute video was a message that read, “Dedicated to Alex Trebek. Forever in our hearts. Always our inspiration.” The accompanying message on each social media post also read, “Simply the best. Thank you, Alex.”

    Alex passed away on November 8, 2020 after losing his battle with pancreatic cancer. Days prior to his death, the late host managed to tape a number of his final episodes for the game show. His last one aired on Friday, but it was in the Monday, January 4 episode that he shared a powerful message about togetherness and giving.
    “You’ll recall that about a month ago, I asked all of you to take a moment to give thanks for all of the blessings that you enjoy in your lives,” Alex pointed out. “Now, today, a different kind of message. This is the season of giving. I know you want to be generous with your family, your friends, your loved ones.”
    “But today, I’d like you to go one step further. I’d like you to open up your hands and open up your hearts to those who are still suffering because of COVID-19. People who are suffering through no fault of their own,” he went on. “We’re trying to build a gentler, kinder society, and if we all pitch in – just a little bit – we’re gonna get there.”
    In the wake of his passing, “Jeopardy!” resumed its production with guest hosts. On November 23, the game show declared on Instagram, “We will resume production on 11/30 with a series of interim guest hosts from the ‘Jeopardy!’ family – starting with Ken Jennings. Additional guest hosts to be announced.”
    While Ken will serve as the first guest host, Los Angeles Times reported a few days ago that Katie Couric has also been signed to host the game show for one week. However, she and Sony Pictures Television have yet to confirm the report.

    Ellen DeGeneres to Be Back Filming Talk Show in Studio One Month After COVID-19 Diagnosis

    Warner Bros. Television

    ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ has been airing reruns since December 10, and was initially scheduled to resume production on January 4 amid rising cases of the coronavirus.

    Jan 9, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Ellen DeGeneres will return to work on Monday, January 11.
    The star’s self-titled talk show has been airing reruns since 10 December after the 62-year-old presenter was diagnosed with coronavirus.

    Filming was due to resume on 4 January at the Warner Bros. lot but, amid rising cases of the virus and the fact Southern California’s hospitals are overstretched, the date was pushed to next week.

    It has been confirmed the show will film without a studio audience, with a number of other restrictions in place, including a skeleton staff and crew, with a goal to minimise the number of employees needed at the show’s offices at any given time.
    However, studio officials have confirmed all crew members will be paid during the modified production schedule following previous uncertainty in the early days of the first lockdown in 2020.
    Like Ellen’s show, Dr. Phil will also resume production next Monday from its Paramount Studios set, but it will feature a live audience on Zoom.
    Meanwhile, the current situation in California has seen nighttime talk show hosts Jimmy Kimmel and James Corden return to broadcasting from their homes this week.
