    [embedded content]

    Starring Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch as the titular characters, the upcoming superhero series centers on Clark and wife Lois Lane as they return to his hometown of Smallville.

    Dec 30, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The CW has released the first trailer for its upcoming series “Superman & Lois” for viewing pleasure. The new video hints at Clark Kent (Tyler Hoechlin) trying to balance his life between his professional life and his life as a parent.
    “We all begin as one version of ourself, but as we grow, life changes us,” Hoechlin’s Superman narrates in voiceover in the trailer. Later, pictures of himself and his now-wife Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch) as well as their two sons Jonathan Kent (Jordan Elsass) and Jordan Kent (Alexander Garfin) flicker on the screen.
    “Every moment shaping our character, shifting our priorities, stretching every fiber of our being until we think we’ve lost ourselves to the stress of it all,” he goes on saying. “But that’s not true because under the torn fibers is a strong person, forged like steel, with the courage to fight for those we love.”
    “Superman & Lois” centers on Clark and Lois as they return to his hometown of Smallville. The pair will be seen trying to navigate being working parents to two teen boys, Jonathan and Jordan who may or may not inherit Kryptonian superpowers of their own.

    In addition, the show stars Emmanuelle Chriqui as Lana Lang, Erik Valdez as her husband Kyle, and Inde Navarrette as their daughter Sarah. Joining them are Dylan Walsh and Wole Parks who are set to portray Lois’ father General Samuel Lane and a mysterious stranger who upends idyllic life in Smallville respectively.
    Of Superman, executive producer/showrunner Todd Helbing described back in September at the DanDome, “As a father who happens to have two boys, that felt like a really great way to bring in some personal experience to tell a story that is as grounded as you can possibly be to have Superman in it.”
    “And as a couple, we really get to lean into Clark and Lois not being Superman and the most famous journalist in the world, but really as parents. What is that like when you have jobs like that? Which a lot of people can relate to nowadays,” he continued.
    “Superman & Lois” is set to premiere on Tuesday, February 23 on The CW.

    Logan Paul Sued by Production Company Over Controversial Suicide Forest Video

    Instagram

    Movie production company Planeless Pictures claims the YouTube star torpedoed a movie deal he had signed with the company and cost them millions of dollars by posting the Japanese forest video.

    Dec 30, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Years after posting the shocking suicide forest video, Logan Paul is still dealing with the repercussion of his bad decision at the time. The YouTube star is now sued by a production company which claims that he jeopardized a movie he was signed to star in following the controversy.
    In a lawsuit obtained by TMZ, Planeless Pictures reveals that Logan inked a $3 million deal with the company in 2016 to star as a fictionalized version of himself called “Airplane Mode”, in a movie that was developed as a spoof on modern-day trend-setters, like Logan himself, his brother Jake Paul and other social media stars.
    Logan additionally was set to write and help produce the flick, and he even agreed to help get other influencers, such as his brother Jake, Juanpa Zureta, Nick Bateman and Amanda Cerny, onboard the film. The plan was to distribute the film through those influencers’ YouTube channels and other social media platforms as a new and revolutionary way to market and monetize the film.

    However, the deal was completely destroyed after Logan posted the Japanese forest video in 2017, which landed him in hot water. The controversial video captured the then-recently deceased corpse of a man who had died by hanging himself in Aokigahara at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan, known as the “suicide forest” due to its infamy as a suicide site.
    Planeless Pictures alleges that Logan deliberately posted the suicide forest video knowing it would jeopardize the movie project. The company says at the result of it, Google ended their contract and left them $3 million in debt, which Planeless claims Logan owes them.
    The 25-year-old vlogger posted an apology after the video gained a lot of negative feedback. “Let me start with this – I’m sorry,” he wrote on Twitter at the time. “I’m surrounded by good people and believe I make good decisions, but I’m still a human being. I can be wrong.”
    “I didn’t do it for views. I get views. I did it because I thought I could make a positive ripple on the internet, not cause a monsoon of negativity,” so he explained. “I intended to raise awareness for suicide and suicide prevention and while I thought ‘if this video saves just ONE life, it’ll be worth it,’ I was misguided by shock and awe, as portrayed in the video.”

    Bleecker Street

    The ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ actor finds it funny that people criticized his Irish accent in ‘Wild Mountain Thyme’ since he was actually born and raised in Ireland.

    Dec 30, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jamie Dornan is unbothered by the criticism of his new movie “Wild Mountain Thyme”.
    The 38-year-old actor thinks it is funny the movie – which also stars Emily Blunt and Christopher Walken – was slammed for the actor’s Irish accents despite Dornan being Irish himself.
    Speaking on “The Graham Norton Show’s New Year’s Eve]” special, he said, “I thought the reaction was funny. I’m from Ireland and our currency is taking the p***, so it’s rare to put something out there and not have the p*** taken. I’m all for it!”
    The romantic drama follows Emily Blunt’s Rosemary as she tries to win the affection of Anthony, played by Dornan, who must pursue his dreams when he learns his father plans to sell the family farm to his nephew.

    Dornan thought the writing by John Patrick Shanley made the story “beautiful” and was intrigued by the “kookiness” of his movie.
    He explained, “John Patrick Shanley has a kookiness to his work. His are not normal linear movies, they are all a bit heightened and a bit odd, but the words are beautiful.”
    Blunt also shared the same enthusiasm for the writing as she was bewitched by the “unique” script.
    She added, “When we read the script, we thought it was so bewitching and completely unique. It is odd, lyrical and romantic so we are just excited for people to see it because it is so uplifting, and it certainly sweeps you away to a magical world. It is just a joy.”
    “The Graham Norton Show” is on BBC One on 31 December (20) at 10.25pm.

    ABC/Randy Holmes

    After it is reported that the host will be moving to Austin, Texas with his girlfriend Lauren Zima, rumors start to swirl around that he may be taking his final bow in Bachelor Nation.

    Dec 30, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Chris Harrison will always be a part of “The Bachelor” franchise regardless where he’s residing. After it was reported that Chris will be moving to Austin, Texas, rumors started to swirl around that he might be taking his final bow in Bachelor Nation.
    “I really hope he doesn’t leave because I love Chris Harrison but the only acceptable replacement would be Wells Adams,” a concerned Twitter user wrote on Tuesday, December 29, referring to “The Bachelorette” alum. Echoing the sentiment, someone else added, “I simply will not be okay with @chrisbharrison leaving bachelor nation eve.”
    Calling Chris “the heart and soul” of the ABC franchise, another fan noted, “I’ve only watched 1 season of the Bachelor but even I know Chris Harrison can’t leave that show.”

    Fans apparently didn’t have to worry about Chris departing from the long-running franchise. Sources close to the production spilled to TMZ that Chris is not leaving the show. The site further noted that the 49-year-old will commute from Los Angeles to Texas as he’s relocating with his girlfriend Lauren Zima partly because of his recent partnership deal with a local brewery.
    Back in August, Chris took a couple of weeks off from season 16 of “The Bachelorette” because he had to drop off his son at college in Texas. “Just like that he’s gone. Thought dropping the big man off at college @texaschristianuniversity today was going to crush me but all I could feel is pride and excitement,” he wrote alongside some pictures of himself with his eldest son Joshua Harrison and the boy’s new college friends. “Especially now, so grateful that they have this opportunity. Now go take on the world and have the time of your life my boy.”

    During his hiatus, former “The Bachelorette” star JoJo Fletcher took over his hosting duties.

    Michael B. Jordan Confirmed to Direct 'Creed 3'

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    The Adonis Creed depicter has been confirmed by co-star Tessa Thompson to sit behind the lens for the upcoming third installment of the Rocky Balboa spinoff.

    Dec 30, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Michael B. Jordan has been confirmed to direct “Creed 3” by his co-star Tessa Thompson.
    It was reported earlier this year (20) that the actor was set to make his big-screen directorial debut on the third instalment in the “Creed” movie franchise, in addition to reprising his role as Adonis Creed.
    And in an interview with MTV News, Tessa reflected on Jordan’s recent title of People’s Sexiest Man Alive as she said, “I haven’t talked to him about it because I’m gonna pretend it hasn’t happened. We’re gonna make another Creed very soon, and I don’t need the sexiest man alive to…you know what I mean, I just don’t need it. I don’t need any of it. It’s too much for me to shoulder. It’s too much for me to handle.”

    She then confirmed he will be helming the next film, continuing, “He is directing the next Creed. It’s going to be ammo, I think, for me, when he is engaging with me as a director.”
    “I’m just going to tell him to dial down the sexiness. But we’re not gonna make it until later in the year. So who knows what happens? Another man will be – I don’t know if he will still be the Sexiest Man Alive in six months.”
    “Creed III” would be the ninth instalment in the Rocky franchise overall, dating back to the original starring Sylvester Stallone, which was released in 1977.
    The first “Creed” movie was released in 2015 with Ryan Coogler as director. “Creed II” was released in 2018 and helmed by Steve Caple, Jr., with Jordan serving as an executive producer on the sequel.

    Carole Baskin in Talks to Front Own TV Series and Write Memoirs

    Instagram

    The big cat conservationist, who rose to fame thanks to her participation on Netflix’s ‘Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness’, makes the revelation in an end-of-year wrap up email to fans.

    Dec 29, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “Tiger King” star Carole Baskin is in talks to front her own TV docuseries and write her memoirs.
    The big cat conservationist, who runs an animal sanctuary in Florida, rose to fame thanks to her participation on Netflix’s “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” series, which documented her feud with former zoo keeper Joe Exotic, who is currently serving a 22-year prison sentence for his role in a murder-for-hire plot against his rival.
    Now Baskin, who recently competed on reality show “Dancing with the Stars”, reveals she has been approached to sign on for a couple of exciting new projects.
    In an end-of-year wrap up email to fans, she wrote, “I’m in negotiations for a TV show series on the work we do to end big cat abuse and to write my memoirs.”

      See also…

    It’s unclear how much of her story Baskin will be willing to share in her autobiography, as she is also facing scrutiny amid the ongoing mystery surrounding the 1997 disappearance of her ex-husband, Don Lewis.
    The story of Don’s disappearance, shortly before he was due to head to Costa Rica, was prominently featured on “Tiger King”, on which Exotic alleged Baskin had killed her husband and fed him to her big cats.
    Baskin, who had Don legally declared dead in 2002, has denied the accusations. While she claimed her innocence over her husband’s disappearance, the animal activist was sued by his family in September 2020 for defamation.
    The lawsuit was filed by Lewis’ daughters, Gale, Lynda and Donna, and his former assistant Anne McQueen after Baskin was being “complicit with jokes” about his death on “DWTS”. In the paperwork, McQueen claimed that Baskin should have not taken a part in the jokes.
    “These exact same false statements, and additional ones, are being made again in 2020. It is malicious,” Lewis’ family’s attorney, Jon Phillips, said in the docs. “Making matters worse, Howard Baskin is making these same statements publicly, as is Big Cat Rescue. As such, they have been added as Defendants.”

    Billy Porter Admits 'Pose' Team Still Tries to Figure Out Filming Drag Ball Scenes Amid COVID-19

    FX

    When appearing on ‘Live with Kelly and Ryan’, the Pray Tell depicter opens up about the complications brought by the pandemic to the season 3 production of Ryan Murphy’s hit TV series.

    Dec 29, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “Pose” season three’s wild ball scenes have been booted to 2021 in the hope the flamboyant events can be freely filmed under a COVID “vaccine situation”, according to star Billy Porter.
    Ryan Murphy’s hit TV series is set in 1987 against the backdrop of New York City’s drag ball scene, and though it is back in production, current coronavirus protocols do not permit some of the show’s large-scale scenes to be shot.
    “We are shooting season three right now with all of the COVID protocols in place,” Billy shares on “Live with Kelly and Ryan”. “It’s not the easiest version of filming a television show that I’ve ever been a part of… I’m just grateful to be back working.”

    And though he’s desperate to get his finery on to film the show’s big balls, Billy supports the “Pose” producers’ efforts to find the best solution.
    “We’re still trying to figure that part out,” he shares. “We haven’t shot any of the balls yet… I believe we are waiting for the ball sequences, to hopefully be shooting them inside some kind of vaccine situation so we can have all those people in the room. So we’re pushing those scenes to next year.”
    Billy will ring in the new year in style – he’s co-hosting America’s annual TV special, “Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve”, with Lucy Hale and Ryan Seacrest, live from New York’s Times Square on Thursday, December 31.
    “Pose” revolves around New York City’s African-American and Latino LGBTQ and gender-nonconforming drag ball culture scene in the 1980s and, in the second season, early 1990s. Jeremy Pope will be joining the cast in the third season, which has yet to get a premiere date.
