    Meghan Markle Makes First Public Appearance Since Miscarriage on 'CNN Heroes'

    CNN

    The Duchess of Sussex pays tribute to those who have made a difference on ‘CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute’, marking her first appearance since miscarriage reveal.

    Dec 15, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Meghan, Britain’s Duchess of Sussex, has made her first appearance since announcing her miscarriage by paying tribute to those who have made a difference during the “CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute”.
    The former “Suits” star appeared in a surprise video aired during the special on Sunday night (13Dec20), in which she thanked the “individuals who stood up and made sure the most basic needs of our communities were met.”
    Admitting this year has been “universally challenging for everyone,” Meghan added, “They made sure those around them did not have to suffer in isolation.”
    “We saw the good in people, in our neighbours and in entire communities coming together to say they would not stand by while our neighbours went hungry.”

    Meghan’s video was her first appearance since she revealed she had suffered a miscarriage earlier this summer in a piece written for the New York Times.
    “I lay in a hospital bed, holding my husband’s hand. I felt the clamminess of his palm and kissed his knuckles, wet from both our tears. Staring at the cold white walls, my eyes glazed over. I tried to imagine how we’d heal,” she wrote.
    Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, are parents to 18-month-old son Archie.
    The Duchess, who urged people to make the discussion of miscarriage less of a taboo subject, received mixed reactions following her miscarriage reveal. British reporter Marco Giannangeli commented, “Is anyone really questioning the pain and sheer awfulness of suffering a miscarriage, or are they perhaps critising Meghan’s decision to write a 1,000 word op-Ed about herself? What does it add to the resources already available for those who go through a tragedy like this?”
    But Meghan was defended by Chrissy Teigen who experienced the tragic loss of her own unborn son at the end of September.

    Instagram

    The Bravo personality, who had brought Giggy to numerous TV and public appearances, revealed last year that the pup had alopecia, a condition that causes hair to fall in small patches.

    Dec 14, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lisa Vanderpump is bidding farewell to one of her fury friends. The former “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” cast member took to her Instagram account on Saturday, December 12 to share heartbreaking news that her Pomeranian Giggy died.
    Alongside some pictures of her late pup, Lisa released a joint statement from her and husband Ken Todd which read, “We are devastated to say that our beloved Giggy has passed away this morning. He was truly loved, and we know how many of you loved him too. Our sweet Gigolo was such an incredible, unique dog, but mainly, because of him, we started The Vanderpump Dog Foundation and embarked on our mission to save as many dogs as possible.”
    The statement continued, “He inspired us to start our work in rescue, and for that we will always be grateful. Giggy’s legacy will live on, through every dog @vanderpumpdogs saves. Thank you all for your support. Rest In Peace Giggy, we love you. – Ken & Lisa.”

    Lisa later shared a pet remembrance poem titled “I loved you best” by Jim Willis. The poem read, “So this is where we part, My Friend, and you’ll run on, around the bend, gone from sight, but not from mind, new pleasures there you’ll surely find. I will go on, I’ll find the strength, life measures quality, not its length. One long embrace before you leave, share one last look, before I grieve.”
    “There are others that much is true, but they be they, and they aren’t you. And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought, will remember well all you’ve taught,” the poem went on to read. It concluded, “Your place I’ll hold, you will be missed, the fur I stroked, the nose I kissed. And as you journey to your final rest, take with you this…I loved you best.”

    Lisa had brought Giggy to numerous TV and public appearances. The Bravo personality revealed last year that the pup had alopecia, a condition that causes hair to fall in small patches.
    The reality TV star, who is known as a dog lover, previously explained why she and her husband started the Vanderpump Dog foundation in May 2017. “Ken and I have been fighting for the kind of more humane treatment of dogs worldwide,” she said at the time. “One of the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle was really to open a rescue center but we wanted to open a rescue center that wasn’t, like, depressing and I know it’s like nothing else you’ve ever seen.”

    “We got together that weekend, that Saturday, and we spent the whole day bringing our love story to life: the first moment Sara and Nico met, the thing about Sara that made Nico fall for her – someone he’s never seen, only someone he’s heard through the door,” she continued.

    Jamie Dornan Glad 'Wild Mountain Thyme' Co-Star Emily Blunt Hasn't Seen 'Fifty Shades of Grey'

    WENN/FayesVision

    The Christian Grey actor seems to be embarrassed by his role in the BDSM romance movies as he told his co-star he’s ‘very relieved’ she hasn’t seen any of the films.

    Dec 14, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jamie Dornan was “very relieved” when his “Wild Mountain Thyme” co-star Emily Blunt told him she hadn’t seen “Fifty Shades of Grey”.
    The actor starred as Christian Grey, who embarks on a sadomasochistic relationship with Dakota Johnson’s character Anastasia Steele in the film trilogy, and it appears it’s not a role he’s proud of.
    When his latest co-star confessed she hadn’t seen any of the films, he was thrilled.

    Blunt, who plays the love interest of Jamie’s character in John Patrick Shanley’s new drama, said, “Jamie was quite relieved that I had never seen the Fifty Shades films. And I hadn’t read the book. So I just said, ‘I’m so sorry. I’ve never seen those films’. And he goes, ‘I am very relieved.’ ”
    “I’d seen Jamie on The Fall and I’d seen him in Private War, and that was it really. So I didn’t have any sort of perception of him being this, you know, whatever Christian Grey was.”
    Dornan has made it clear his time on the “Fifty Shades of Grey” franchise is over, adding, “I was ready to move on from this crazy chapter in my life. No matter who I was playing, I don’t think I’d want to play a character for multiple, multiple films. I think I’d just get really bored of that.”
    The BDSM romance movie about Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele is based on a book which originally started as a “Twilight” fanfiction. The first “Fifty Shades” movie came out in 2015, followed by a second movie in 2017 and a third and final one in 2018.

    Keri Hilson Gets Playful With Fake Baby Bump

    Instagram

    The ‘Knock You Down’ hitmaker tricks many into thinking she’s pregnant by showing off a social media picture of her cradling a large bump on what appeared to be a film set.

    Dec 14, 2020
    AceShowbiz – R&B star Keri Hilson appears to have tricked fans into thinking she’s pregnant after showing off a baby bump on social media.
    The “Pretty Girl Rock” hitmaker took to Instagram on Friday, December 11, to share two shots of herself smiling as she cradled a large bump on what appeared to be a film set.

    She captioned the image with an upside-down smiley face emoji, and another with hearts, but tellingly tagged her makeup artist and hairstylist, as well as independent production company Swirl Films, U.S. network Lifetime, and producer, author and religious leader Bishop T.D. Jakes.
    Her tags suggested the baby bump was fake, but that didn’t stop some of her celebrity friends from sending her well wishes.
    “WAIIIIIIIITTT!!!!!! Keriiii! Sis! Congratulations!!!!! My heart is so full for you (sic),” wrote actress Meagan Good, while singer Lil’ Mo commented, “Congratsssessssssssss (sic)”.

    Meagan Good and Lil’ Mo congratulated Keri Hilson after the latter posted photo of her baby bump.

    VH1’s Twitter account further spread the pregnancy speculation as it posted, “Congrats are in order! @KeriHilson is expecting!” A fan, meanwhile, tweeted, “Congratulations Keri Hilson. It’s okay. I can wait another 10 years for the album.”
    However, Hilson didn’t fool everyone – singer and reality star Kandi Burruss remarked, “I sense a big movie coming?”

    Kandi Burruss was not tricked by Keri Hilson’s baby bump post.
    Porsha Williams had a similar guess, writing, “Come on actress. I can’t wait for whatever it is.”
    The star subsequently returned to her Instagram page to joke about the lyrics to her 2009 track “Knock You Down”, suggesting her pregnancy was just for the cameras.
    “Guess love knocks you up, too,” she wrote, adding a pregnant woman emoji and a crying with laughter graphic.

    Keri Hilson suggested her pregnancy was just for the cameras.
    Hilson has yet to name the project she is currently working on.

    'The Bachelorette': Tayshia Adams' Season Might End Without Proposal, According to Chris Harrison

    Instagram

    ‘She is falling in love. These men are in love, but are they all willing to go where she wants this to go?’ the host of the long-running ABC dating competition show spills in a new interview.

    Dec 14, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Fans of “The Bachelorette” might need to prepare themselves. Host Chris Harrison appeared to share a hint at how Tayshia Adams’ season will end, and that is not something that fans who hope for a happy ending might want to hear.
    During his interview with Us Weekly, Chris shared, “You see that in the previews she’s in the dress and there’s a couple of close calls.” He went on hinting, “Look, she is falling in love. These men are in love, but are they all willing to go where she wants this to go? Are they willing to take that last step? And maybe those previews show you, it’s not gonna end well.”
    “In my mind, I don’t think you can go wrong,” Chris added. Naming the suitors in the current season 16 of the long-running ABC dating competition show, the host continued, “These guys, whether it’s Ivan, Riley, Brendan, Zac, Ben, these are good dudes. These are really good guys. And I even told Tayshia towards the end, I said, ‘You can’t make a wrong decision. You just need to make the right decision for you, who fits in your life, where do you see your life going?’ And this is where it starts to align. When you have those long conversations, ‘Do you want to get married? Where are we going to live?’ ”

      See also…

    That aside, Tayshia’s stint on “The Bachelorette” caused tension between her and her ex-husband Josh Bourelle. During an interview on “Reality Steve” podcast on Thursday, December 10, Josh criticized his ex for using their divorce as her sob story.
    “I figured we had a mutual respect that we wanted the best for each other after the divorce,” he said. “Now, her going out and saying that I cheated on her and that was the reason for our divorce on national TV, I felt like kind of crossed the line on that a little bit because I feel like she was using that as her sob story to make her look better and it was hurtful to me because it wasn’t just me that heard about that.”
    Josh claimed that he didn’t mind when Tayshia addressed their failed marriage on TV when she appeared in Colton Underwood’s season of “The Bachelor”. “When that first happened, I said, ‘Well, okay, I guess it’s fine for her to say it one time,’ but now it just continues to happen,” shared Josh, before adding that it started to hurt his reputation.
    Later in the interview, he also called out Tayshia for accusing him of cheating on her. “I mean, it’s kind of hypocritical in a way because you’re calling me a cheater, yet you’re dating 25 different guys at the same time or whatever,” he reasoned. “It’s been a tough situation for me and I’m kind of over it at this point.”

    'The Witcher' Resumes Production Without Injured Henry Cavill

    Netflix

    The actor playing Geralt of Rivia in the Netflix hit series is said to be in recovery after sustaining a leg muscle injury during filming and was allegedly unable to walk properly following the set incident.

    Dec 14, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Production on Netflix hit “The Witcher” has resumed without leading man Henry Cavill after he injured his leg on set.
    According to sources, the actor was wearing a safety harness above the set when the injury occurred, and although Henry was not hospitalised, filming was halted as the star couldn’t walk properly, according to The Sun, and doctors told him to rest.
    A source tells the publication: “The filming has been hit because of what happened to Henry. He was on an assault course and injured his leg. He just suddenly pulled up and was clearly in a lot of pain. It wasn’t clear if an object had hit his leg or it was some sort of hamstring or muscle injury.”

    “It wasn’t bad enough to need an ambulance but it’s messed up the filming schedule as he can’t walk properly.”
    Filming at Arborfield Studios in London has now continued without Cavill, who is recovering from what Deadline sources claim is a minor leg muscle injury sustained during production.
    Production on “The Witcher”‘s second season has already been suspended twice – first in March, when actor Kristofer Hivju revealed he had tested positive for the coronavirus, and then last month following multiple positive COVID-19 cases.
    Season 2 official logline reads, “Convinced Yennefer’s (Anya Chalotra) life was lost at the Battle of Sodden, Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill) brings Princess Cirilla (Freya Allan) to the safest place he knows, his childhood home of Kaer Morhen. While the Continent’s kings, elves, humans and demons strive for supremacy outside its walls, he must protect the girl from something far more dangerous: the mysterious power she possesses inside.”
