    Instagram

    Days before he puts on his hosting suit for the prestigious show, the funnyman opens up to ‘Good Morning America’ about what he expects to see and what can be expected from the virtual broadcast.
    Sep 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Emmy Awards host Jimmy Kimmel can’t wait to watch Sunday night’s (September 20) winners accept their awards in their own homes, surrounded by excited family and friends.
    The comedian doesn’t have high hopes for the virtual broadcast as a whole, but he insists there’s one element of the show he is looking forward to.
    “People are gonna win an Emmy in their house with their, hopefully, family and maybe their parents and maybe a couple of people that they trust, and I hope it will be exciting to see that excitement…,” he tells “Good Morning America”.
    “It’s one thing when your co-producer is standing next to you, clapping, or one of your co-stars, and it’s another thing when it’s your nine-year-old daughter.”
    Kimmel reveals there will be a few “special guests” with him at the Staples Center in Los Angeles for the live broadcast, but the venue will be empty, due to California’s strict COVID-19 health and safety guidelines.

    “There will be no friends, no family…,” he adds. “I would guess there won’t be more than 30 people in the whole Staples Center. We’re doing this as safely as we possibly can, because as we know there’s no one more important than celebrities.”

    Reports suggest his guests will include Mindy Kaling and Ken Jeong.
    Meanwhile, Kimmel is also urging 2020 Emmy winners not to get carried away and extend their acceptance speeches.
    “Some people are gonna go on and on and on and I don’t know what we’ll do if they go on too long,” he says. “I suppose I could just say, ‘Oh, we lost ’em!’ and hit a button and that’s the end of it. Maybe that is what we’ll do.”

  • Kristen Doute Insists She and Stassi Schroeder 'Weren't Fired' From 'Vanderpump Rules'

    Instagram

    The reality TV star also claims that unlike rumors that have circulated online, she and Stassi never made a police report against former ‘Vanderpump Rules’ co-star Faith Stowers.
    Sep 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Apparently, Kristen Doute and Stassi Schroeder aren’t fired from “Vanderpump Rules” following controversy surrounding them over past racially insensitive remarks toward former co-star Faith Stowers. Kristen set the record straight in an Instagram comment to a fan on Thursday, September 17.
    Of reports that she and Stassi called police on Faith as they accused her of being a thief, Kristen said, “The police were not called.” She went on to say, “There was never a police report, the police never had her name so she was never in harm’s way.”
    “I understand me speaking up about this is going to create major backlash but I’m tired of the rumors. Neither [me or Stassi] are racist and have absolutely no hate,” she went on to say.
    Recalling the moment, Kristen shared that she and Stassi made the call while they were filming the reality show, though it “didn’t air.” She explained, “I called a tip hotline. At the time, I was told by multiple people that it was [Faith] and that she had a history. That I’ve admitted and have publicly and privately apologized. I should have stayed out of it … I’m very grateful for those who want us to listen, learn and grow.”
    She also claimed that neither she or Stassi was fired from the Bravo reality show. “We weren’t fired,” she insisted. “They chose not to renew our contracts. That was their decision to make.”
    This arrived after Stassi reflected on the controversy during her appearance in an episode of “The Tamron Hall Show” earlier in the day. She revealed that she has since educated herself by hiring a diversity coach. “I am so embarrassed that I even had those thoughts much less put it out there. I was that Karen, I was a Karen,” she shared.
    “It is absolutely my fault that I didn’t know better, but the issue is I did not know better,” she continued. Saying that she wanted to be a “better person” for her unborn daughter, Stassi added, “I want to be a part of the solution, I’ve been a part of the problem for years now. And I’ve recognized that. That’s why I say I don’t feel like I’m a victim of cancel culture. People want me to be mad at it and I’m not, I needed it.”

  • Mike Tyson's Ex-Wife Sends Cease-and Desist Letter Ahead of His Biopic

    WENN

    Robin Givens is concerned about how she might be portrayed in her former husband’s upcoming biopic so she sends a legal letter to block him from defaming her.
    Sep 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Actress Robin Givens has delivered a knock-out blow to the producers of Jamie Foxx’s new Mike Tyson biopic, demanding she isn’t portrayed in a negative light.
    Lawyers representing Givens sent Tyson and Foxx a cease-and-desist letter last month, according to Page Six, insisting the boxer, who is preparing for a comeback fight, “cease and desist from further defaming Ms. Givens.”
    They also put the producers of the film and Tyson’s podcast on notice, insisting they “refrain from portraying Ms. Givens in a false, negative and defamatory light.”
    Givens was married to Tyson in 1988 for eight months and the couple split acrimoniously.
    Her lawyers felt they had to warn Foxx and his producers about portraying Givens in a poor light, adding, “She still finds herself fighting the abusive, demeaning and false accounts of their relationship by Mr. Tyson nearly 35 years later. It is time for Mr. Tyson to let this marriage be the relic of the past that it is.”
    They claim Tyson’s comments about his ex gave them “good cause to be concerned,” but a representative for the boxing champ tells the outlet that his marriage to Givens and their divorce won’t be part of the film.
    “As of now, Mr. Tyson’s attorneys have not received any cease and desist (letter), but there isn’t nor has there been any intention of including his relationship with her in his biopic. He wishes her well in all her endeavours,” the rep said.

    “Hey guys we shut down production of season 4 in order to preserve the health and safety of our cast and crew and join the world in an attempt to flatten the curve,” she wrote in her post. “This show is my life and this cast and crew is my family. Nothing is more important than making sure they and everyone around them is safe. We hope to be back in production as soon as it’s safe to do so.”

  • Steve Harvey Insists Ellen DeGeneres Is Not Racist, Encourages Her to Keep Her 'Head Up'

    WENN

    The ‘Steve Harvey Show’ host comes to Ellen’s defense as the latter is accused of turning blind eyes on harassment and toxic culture on the set of her TV show.
    Sep 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Steve Harvey has defended Ellen DeGeneres insisting she doesn’t have any “racist tendency” after staff who work on her show complained about instances of racial microaggressions.
    The popular chat show host has been at the centre of a scandal after BuzzFeed News published a report in July (20) which detailed staffers negative experiences on the “Ellen” set, including claims of being penalised for taking medical leave, instances of racial microaggressions and fear of retribution for raising complaints.
    However, many of her famous pals including Kevin Hart and Katy Perry have come to her defence, and Harvey joined them as he told People TV on Thursday (17Sep20), DeGeneres is “one of the coolest and kindest people I’ve met in this business” and insisted she “has no control over what every staff member does.”
    “I’m a 63-year-old black man. I’ve been black the entire time,” he told People. “I ain’t took no days off. I ain’t experimented with nothing else. I ain’t got nothing else going. I’ve been a black dude my whole life. I know racism.”
    “If I have a conversation with you, I know if you got racist tendency somewhere in you, because it radiates. I can feel it. I’ve been around a long time, man. That’s not Ellen DeGeneres. That’s just not her, period.”
    Harvey later added, “You make it like that if you want to. But if you try to make it that way, it’s because you don’t know her. I know her. And that’s the feeling I have.”
    “The Steve Harvey Show” host confirmed he’s been in touch with DeGeneres, with the star encouraging her to keep her “head up.”
    “We’ve texted each other. But my first advice was Ellen got enough money to walk away. But, we’re in the cancel culture right now, man, everybody want to see everybody fall down, man,” he said. “People used to cheer for people. Now, it’s so important to ruin everybody’s career… But I think Ellen’s going to be absolutely fine myself.”
    Following an internal investigation into “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” conducted WarnerMedia, DeGeneres has since apologised to her staff, and three of the show’s top producers have parted ways with the show.
