    Goldie Hawn Hated Kissing Kurt Russell in 'Christmas Chronicles 2'

    Netflix

    The ‘Private Benjamin’ actress explains why she was not really fond of kissing her real-life partner as they played a couple in their new Netflix Christmas movie.

    Dec 20, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Actress Goldie Hawn “hated” the bushy beard her longtime love Kurt Russell grew for “The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two” because it made kissing him on set no fun.
    The real life couple played Santa and Mrs Clause in the original 2018 Netflix holiday movie, and they reprise their roles for the sequel.
    And although Goldie admired the facial hair Kurt sported, she was thrilled when production wrapped and he was able to shave off his whiskers.
    “I thought it (beard) was a work of art, I really did,” the mum of actors Kate and Oliver Hudson told U.S. talk show “Live with Kelly and Ryan”.
    “I mean, I looked at it, I got lost in it. I thought it was just beautifully designed…”

    “Ask me how I liked that beard,” she laughed. “I hated it. It wasn’t fun to kiss.”
    But that’s the only complaint Goldie has about the project, and she had so much fun otherwise, she’s taking another souvenir to the pair’s regular home for the holidays, in Colorado, to remind her of the happy shoot.
    “I loved going to work every day. I have a little sign that they gave me that I’m going to put in my little house in Aspen. It’s a sign painting from outside one of Santa’s stores where they make everything,” she added.
    “I just wanted a piece of the (film’s) village.”
    The actress also loved making the family movie because she knew her six grandchildren would get to see it. She previously said, “I love the thought that they might one day grow up to like other things Kurt and I have done, but right now it’s fun to have them watch this and go to school knowing their friends have seen it too.”

    Mark Wahlberg’s new movies, an action comedy “Spenser Confidential” and a new animated Scooby Doo movie, came out earlier this year. His next film, “Joe Bell”, is expected to hit theaters early next year after premiering at Toronto International Film Festival in September.
    Besides “Arthur the King”, his upcoming big screen projects include sci-fi action “Infinite” and action adventure “Uncharted”.

    CBS

    The ‘Let Me Blow Ya Mind’ hitmaker wraps up her four-season stint on the daily talk show virtually from London months after fellow former co-host Marie Osmond made her exit.

    Dec 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Rapper/actress Eve fought back tears on Friday, December 18 as she bowed out of her stint as a co-host on U.S. daytime show “The Talk”.
    The “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” hitmaker, who is married to British businessman Maximillion Cooper, wrapped up her four-season stint virtually from London, as she and co-hosts Sharon Osbourne and Sheryl Underwood reminisced about her time on the series.
    Sharing her love and pride for Eve, rock matriarch Sharon said, “What you’ve meant to me while you’ve been on this show, it isn’t measurable.”
    “I have to tell you, we never met before this show but you knew my kids (Jack Osbourne and Kelly Osbourne)… They would go, ‘Aw, mum, she’s the best, she’s so friendly, so lovely.’ I knew that you were gonna be so friendly and a lovely person, but I didn’t know how wonderful it would be.”
    “You’ve got your wings now and you are flying…,” Sharon smiled. “You are open about yourself, you care so much about what goes on in the world, you care so much about your community, and I feel that whatever your next steps are, it’s not just gonna be making a record and touring, you’re gonna do much more than that, Eve Cooper! You’re unstoppable right now.”
    Meanwhile, comedienne Sheryl gushed, “You are everything a woman aspires to be: funny, fashionable, smart, sexy. You’re powerful with a delicate presence, a great philanthropist, businesswoman, artist, wife and mother.”
    Calling Eve a “sister” who will “forever” be in her heart, she added, “The door is always open for you to come back and share everything that you are about to achieve.”

    Touched by the sweet tributes, Eve wiped away tears as she credited “The Talk” bosses for giving her a “springboard” onto bigger and better things, and saluted her co-hosts, including Carrie Ann Inaba, who was absent as she battles COVID-19.
    “I truly, genuinely, for real, love you…,” she said. “I have been so lucky and so grateful to be a part of this show. I’ve learned from each of you ladies…, I have gotten so much from all of you, and you guys have been beyond supportive….”
    “I will be forever grateful… This is not goodbye, this is, ‘I’ll see you later.’ Thank you.”

    Eve’s exit comes months after singer Marie Osmond departed the show earlier this year.
    They will be replaced in January 2021 by actress Amanda Kloots, the widow of tragic coronavirus victim and Broadway star Nick Cordero, and journalist Elaine Welteroth.

    Report: Donald Trump in Talks to Develop 'The Apprentice' Reboot After Presidency

    NBC

    It isn’t the first time that Trump is reported to be in negotiations to develop a political version of ‘The Apprentice’, though the president of the United States said last year that it was just a ‘fake reporting.’

    Dec 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Donald Trump may back to TV entertainment after completing his task as the president of the United States. According to a new report, Trump is considering to bring back his reality show “The Apprentice” with a reboot after leaving the White House.
    Two sources who are close to Trump revealed to the Daily Beast that POTUS referred to the show in recent weeks in an allegedly private concession of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the November election. He was said to be asking aides some questions regarding the show such as “How would you like to see ‘The Apprentice’ come back?” and “Remember ‘The Apprentice’?”
    The outlet stated producer and creator Mark Burnett “is an opportunist. Trump was his meal ticket before and he’s keen to bring the show back to life, especially in the face of the disaster MGM has become.”

    A spokesman for Burnett, however, denied the reports. The spokesman told the Daily Beast that it was “not true” that he’d been in talks with Trump about a revival. It was also unknown if NBC would be willing to be a home for a show starring the businessman-turned-president.
    “The Apprentice” debuted in 2014 on NBC, featuring contestants competing to work for Trump. The show quickly became a hit as it earned over $400 million during the show’s run for 11 years.
    It wasn’t the first time that Trump was reported to be in negotiations to develop a political version of “The Apprentice”. Trump caught wind of the report and immediately shut down the speculations, dubbing the story “fake reporting” in a tweet.
    Writing on the blue bird app in November 2019, Trump said, “Fake News is reporting that I am talking to Mark Burnett about doing a big show, perhaps The Apprentice, after the presidency, which I would assume they mean in 5 years.” He went on insisting, “This is not true, never had such a conversation, don’t even have time to think about it. False reporting!”

    'Morning Show' and 'American Crime Story' Shut Down Productions Due to Covid-19 Scares

    The filming of the TV drama starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon and the Ryan Murphy-created anthology series have been halted following coronavirus concerns.

    Dec 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Production on Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon’s TV Drama “The Morning Show” and Ryan Murphy’s “Impeachment: American Crime Story” has been paused after a number of positive COVID-19 tests.
    A night shoot for “The Morning Show”, set to take place in Culver City, California on Thursday (17Dec20), was cancelled after one crewmember was diagnosed while those they had been in contact with were forced to self-isolate.
    A second round of testing was scheduled to take place on Friday to double check results in the event the crewmember had received a false positive, reports E! News.
    It’s unclear if any of the show’s stars are among those affected.
    Filming on season two of the Apple TV+ series began in October following the COVID-19 shutdown delay.

    Meanwhile, filming also ground to a halt on the Los Angeles set of “Impeachment: American Crime Story”, which will chronicle the impeachment of former U.S. President Bill Clinton following his 1998 affair with intern Monica Lewinsky.
    According to TMZ, “multiple” positive test results among both cast and crewmembers forced officials to close the set earlier this week, although it’s unclear which of the actors were affected.
    The drama series will star Beanie Feldstein as Lewinsky, Clive Owen as Clinton, and Sarah Paulson as late White House whistleblower Linda Tripp.
    And there was also a COVID-19 scare on the set of Piper Perabo and Scott Foley’s upcoming dramatic comedy “The Big Leap”, with shoots halted on Wednesday as a result of a number of positive diagnoses.
    Fox studio officials had been shooting the pilot in Chicago, Illinois, and had just four days of work left to wrap.

    Gal Gadot Confirms She's Included in Very Thorough 'Justice League' Investigation

    WENN

    The Wonder Woman star reveals she was interviewed as a part of a ‘very thorough’ inquiry into the misconduct allegations made by Ray Fisher against Joss Whedon.

    Dec 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Gal Gadot was interviewed as part of WarnerMedia’s investigation into alleged misconduct on the “Justice League” set.
    The actress has confirmed she was included in the “very thorough investigation” into allegations made by actor Ray Fisher, who previously accused Joss Whedon and producers Geoff Johns and Jon Berg of engaging in misconduct.
    Gal – who starred as Wonder Woman in the 2017 movie – said, “I know that they’ve done a very thorough investigation, even just by how much time I spent with them.”
    WarnerMedia recently confirmed it had concluded its investigation and that remedial action has been taken. However, the company refused to elaborate on what action had been taken.
    Speaking to “The Big Ticket”, Gal confessed, “I don’t know what that means either. I’m curious to know what’s going to be the outcome.”

    Earlier this year, Ray alleged that racial issues played a role in determining the film’s final cut.
    The actor – who played the part of Cyborg in the movie – suggested the decision to give his character a diminished role in the film “was neither an accident nor coincidence.”
    Speaking about his experience of making the movie, Ray explained, “The erasure of people of colour from the 2017 theatrical version of Justice League was neither an accident nor coincidence.”
    The Hollywood star also blasted the director’s attitude on Twitter, writing his “treatment of the cast and crew of Justice League was gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable.”
    “He was enabled, in many ways, by Geoff Johns and Jon Berg… Accountability >Entertainment. (sic)”
    Meanwhile, Ray confirmed earlier this month (Dec20) he’d received a statement from WarnerMedia about the investigation, but stressed there are “still conversations that need to be had and resolutions that need to be found.”
