    Michael B. Jordan Could Make Directorial Debut With 'Creed 3'

    Warner Bros.

    The ‘Black Panther’ actor is reportedly in talks to direct the follow-up to 2018’s ‘Creed II’, in which he’s also expected to reprise his role as Adonis Johnson.

    Oct 26, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Michael B. Jordan is looking to expand his resume with directing credit and his first project as a director could be “Creed 3”. The actor is reportedly in talks to serve at the helm for the third installment of the “Rocky” spin-off franchise, which he also stars in.
    The news was first shared by Deadline when reporting the possibility of “No Time to Die” being sold off to a streaming service like Netflix, Amazon and Apple after several release delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the report which described the James Bond franchise as “MGM’s crown jewel,” the site casually revealed that “MGM is working on a ‘Creed’ sequel that Michael B Jordan is considering to direct.”
    While it has not been confirmed how far the talk about Jordan making his directorial debut with “Creed 3” is, he’s expected to return and reprise his role as Adonis Johnson, the illegitimate son of the late Apollo Creed, who is at the center of the stories in the first and second movie. He also served as executive producer for “Creed II”.

    In his book “A Life in Movies: Stories From 50 Years in Hollywood” which was published in 2019, producer Irwin Winkler mentioned that he had promised Jordan that “he’d get his chance to direct ‘Creed III’.” He revealed, “Last year in a conversation with our ‘Creed’ star Michael B. Jordan, I offered him the opportunity to not only star in, but also to direct ‘Creed III’.”
    The first “Creed” movie was directed by Ryan Coogler, who previously directed Jordan in 2013’s “Fruitvale Station”. Steven Caple Jr. took over the role behind the lens for the sequel, which was released in 2018.
    In both first two movies, Sylvester Stallone returned as Robert “Rocky” Balboa, Sr., Apollo’s enemy-turned-best friend who becomes Adonis’ avuncular trainer and mentor. In the second film, Adonis meets Viktor Drago, son of Ivan Drago, in the ring. Dolph Lundgren reprised his role as the Russian former prize champion boxer, who killed Apollo during an exhibition boxing match years before.
    Jordan is also known for his role as Erik Killmonger in “Black Panther”, which was also directed by Coogler. He will next be seen in “Without Remorse”, which is based on the 1993 novel of the same name by Tom Clancy.

    'RHOP': Monique Samuels Fears Getting Arrested After Candiace Dillard Presses Charges

    Instagram

    The ‘Real Housewives of Potomac’ star, however, won’t let that happen as later in a promo video she hints that she has also filed a counterclaim against her co-star and former friend.

    Oct 26, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Fans of “The Real Housewives of Potomac” will be given more insights into the drama between Monique Samuels and her co-star Candiace Dillard following their brutal fight. In a preview for next week’s episode of the Bravo reality show series, Monique can be seen reacting to her former friend pressing charges against her.
    She seems to be nervous that she might end in the jail now that Candiace took legal action. “If the judge believes your story and never heard mine, I could be arrested in front of my kids,” she says in the teaser.
    Monique, however, won’t let that happen as later in the clip she hints that she has also filed a counterclaim against Candiace. “If you’re going to come after me, I have no choice but to come after you,” Monique reveals in a confessional. Candiace may catch wind of the move as she can be seen crying and saying, “That rusty a** b***h.”

    Monique and Candiace pressed charges and accused each other of second-degree assault with lawsuits that were filed in the District Court of Montgomery County in Maryland back in November. However, later in December, the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office informed lawyers for the co-stars that they would not be pursuing their ongoing cross complaints.
    In a previous episode, “RHOP” stars were shocked to find out that Candiace pressed charges against Monique following the brawl. When Candiace said that she planned to put Monique in jail, Gizelle responded, “That’s a lot.” Robyn Dixon echoed the sentiment, saying, “I would hate for her to go to jail.”
    Meanwhile, Karen Huger revealed to the other Housewives that she reached out to Monique following the fight. She told them that Monique seemed to regret acting violently at the time and that Monique told her that Candiace “didn’t deserve that.”

    Wendy Williams' Ex-DJ Details Backstage Situation Following Her Concerning On-Air Behavior

    WENN

    Fans raised concerns over Wendy’s well-being following the Friday episode of her talk show where the host was seen losing focus mid-conversation in addition to pausing awkwardly several times.

    Oct 26, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Wendy Williams sparked concern about her health when she was seen trailing off mid-sentence and stammerring during the Friday, October 23, episode of her daytime talk show. Now, DJ Boof, the former DJ of the show, has spoken out what has been happening behind-the-scenes when it comes to the host’s concerning behavior.
    This started after a fan wrote on Instagram that Wendy might need to stop her show and “seriously get help.” The fan went on to say, “Your camp is just watching you spiral instead of sending help shame on them. Ill be boycotting the show until you get checked in to REHAB. Drugs will kill you please get help.”
    In response to that, another person replied, “she don’t listen to them..probably why DJ Bouf left the show…” DJ Boof apparently caught wind of the comment as he chimed in, “Yup exactly and it will all come out…”
    He continued, “Y’all have no idea what’s really going on and everyone there is afraid to speak up because they don’t wanna lose their jobs.. this is going to play out bad.. I feel sorry for the workers and victims. Have a blessed day.”

    Fans raised concerns over Wendy’s well-being following the Friday episode of her talk show. The host was seen losing focus mid-conversation in addition to pausing awkwardly several times which prompted her producer, Norman Baker, to try to keep the conversation on track. The episode also saw Wendy calling Adele “Ho-dele” before doing some random stuff such as unwrapping a hard candy only to put it back down and cutting off her own sentence to stand up and show off her outfit.
    “She’s moving really slow and trying to keep it together. She can barely focus,” a fan pointed out on “The Wendy Williams Show” YouTube account. “I’m in shock that they would allow this to air,” someone added, while another person urged Wendy to “please rest and recover take a hiatus, it’s okay. I just want you to be fine.”
    Another comment read, “If you watch this, it becomes far more painful as it progresses. This should not have aired, no matter who the host is. What kind of company let’s [sic] her continue shooting for the day? Everyone involved looks bad I hope she gets better.”
    Back in March 2019, Wendy opened up about her struggle with drugs that made her decide to live in a sober house with a 24-hour coach. “You know I’ve had a struggle with cocaine in my past. I never went to a place to get the treatment. I don’t know how, except God was sitting on my shoulder and I just stopped,” she said at the time.

    James Bond Bosses Demand $600M Deal to Bring 'No Time to Die' to Streaming Site

    Universal Pictures

    The producers of the new 007 movie fronted by Daniel Craig allegedly asks for $600 million deal from any streaming service interested in premiering the upcoming superspy film.

    Oct 26, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Bosses at MGM Studios reportedly put a $600 million price tag on new James Bond movie “No Time to Die” as they considered a streaming deal in place of a theatrical release.
    The movie, Daniel Craig’s final outing as 007, was supposed to be released back in April 2020, but was pushed back until November right at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. It has since been pushed back again until April, 2021 – and Variety reported producers considered scrapping the theatrical release altogether.
    “The studio was said to be looking for a deal of roughly $600 million – a price tag that was deemed too rich for two of the free-spending streaming services,” the publication claimed, with Apple TV+ and Netflix among the platforms reportedly in the mix for the possible acquisition.

    A representative told Variety, “We do not comment on rumors. The film is not for sale. The film’s release has been postponed until April 2021 in order to preserve the theatrical experience for moviegoers.”
    “No Time to Die”, directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, also stars Jeffrey Wright, Lea Seydoux, and Rami Malek.
    Rumor has it, Tom Hardy and Harry Styles are among the frontrunners seriously considered to be the next 007 superspy agent when Craig finally leaves. “Don’t f**k it up,” Craig jokingly warned his successor. “It’s a beautiful, amazing thing. Don’t f**k it up! Leave it better than when you found it.”
    The new male lead, however, won’t be named anytime soon. The new replacement will be announced only after the latest movie installment is released.

    “The show format will play out in the USA with a view to it becoming a global franchise,” they added, according to Britain’s Daily Star newspaper, with insiders confirming The X Factor mogul has handpicked a selection of judges for the format.”
    Howard, who directed hit movies including “Apollo 13” and “The Da Vinci Code, will team up with Cowell’s production company Syco for the show, which comes after it was revealed by NBC bosses that “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” will not be returning in January (21).

He broke his back and went under the knife to have a metal rod fitted to his spine to fix his bones. He is reportedly having daily physiotherapy sessions and walking 10,000 steps a day.

    “John Cena did the stunt right, but we prepped for the stunt wrong,” he explained while a clip was shown of the 43-year-old former WWE star throwing Andre into a bookcase.
    “That metal came over and clocked me in the head, and I got concussed,” he explained. “I got concussed, and I went to the hospital … immediately.”

    The show returned four years after season 4 concluded in October 2016. It arrived on the heels of Andre’s stand-up special, “Legalize Everything”, which has been made available for stream on Netflix.
