    NBC

    The first performer that night is Simon Cowell’s Golden Act winner W.A.F.F.L.E. Crew, who impresses the judges as they light up an old truck repair shop on the studio lot for their performance.
    Sep 16, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “America’s Got Talent” aired the second night of its season 15 semi-finals featuring 11 acts performed for the judges, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Sofia Vergara. Simon Cowell was still absent as he’s recovering from back surgery. The episode, which aired on Tuesday, September 15 on NBC, also brought back wild card selections.
    The first performer that night was Simon’s Golden Act winner W.A.F.F.L.E. Crew. The group attempted to step up their game for their performance for the semi-finals as they lit up an old truck repair shop on the studio lot. They also explored every inch of it with tricks. They earned huge praises from the judges as Sofia said that their performance perfectly showed their personality and passion.

    Following up was singer Kenadi Dodds, who sang Thomas Rhett’s “Be a Light”. Howie loved her performance, noting that she sounded beautiful. Sofia, meanwhile, praised Kenadi’s song choice, saying that it was the “perfect sentiment for the night.” Additionally, Sofia called Kenadi a “confident pop star.”

    As for Magic Max, he invited Heidi to join her in a roulette-inspired trick. He asked her, the other judges, host Terry Crews and even live audience guests to select a number from the table. He amazingly correctly predicted all six numbers. After Bello Sisters performed their impressive routine, Celina opted to sing “Jealous” by Labrinth from the top of a studio lot building at night. While it was a delicate performance, Howie claimed that he wasn’t sure if that was enough to make her stay in the competition.

    Later, Jonathan Goodwin performed with another jaw-dropping dangerous act. He was seen riding a zip line 60 feet in the air to land on a platform 80 feet away. Adding challenge to his performance, he locked himself with a padlock, tied his hands behind his back and suspended himself from ropes that was on fire before riding the zip line by his teeth. Howie said that it was terrifying yet amazing.

    Cristina Rae then belted out Cynthia Erivo’s “Jump”. Heidi was totally into the performance as she pleaded for the audience to vote for her. Sofia echoed the sentiment as she claimed that Cristina perfectly nailed the performance. BAD Salsa, meanwhile, performed from India. The pair’s precision in the performance earned them a standing ovation. All judges showered them with praises as Howie called them amazing.

    Performing next was Terry’s Golden Buzzer act, Voices of Our City Choir. For the semi-finals, they chose to sing “Heroes” by David Bowie. It was such a beautiful performance that the judges couldn’t help but give them a standing ovation.

    The next performer was Brett Loudermilk, who invited Howie to be his assistant. Prior to that, he had Sofia and Heidi randomly picked one picture, a photo of a rubber ducky, among a stack of images. Much to everyone’s surprise, Brett revealed that he had previously swallowed a rubber ducky and then choked it up on stage. Heidi laughed but she thought it was a “little disgusting.”

    Concluding the night was Daneliya Tuleshova who performed a rendition of Jessie J’s “Who You Are”. The judges gave her a standing ovation with Sofia saying that she’s shining like a star. Heidi also noted that her performance would definitely be among the top list of what America would vote.
    Results of tonight’s performance will be revealed in the Wednesday, September 16 episode of “America’s Got Talent”.

    Jason Momoa Calls for 'Proper Investigation' Following Ray Fisher's Accusations Against Joss Whedon

    WENN

    The ‘Aquaman’ actor urges bosses at Warner Brothers to conduct ‘proper investigation’ into claims that the former Marvel director is unprofessional and abusive.
    Sep 16, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jason Momoa has urged Warner Bros. bosses to conduct a “proper investigation” into his “Justice League” co-star Ray Fisher’s allegations that they were treated unprofessionally on the set of the superhero movie.
    The “Aquaman” star previously offered his support to Fisher, who hit headlines when he claimed Joss Whedon’s treatment of the cast and crew on the film set was “gross, abusive, unprofessional and completely unacceptable” by posting on Instagram “#IStandWithRayFisher.”
    Fisher sparked a feud with the studio after making it clear he would not be cooperating with an investigation into the misconduct claims he made against Whedon, who he alleged was “enabled” by producers Jon Berg and Geoff Johns, telling fans, “Thank you all for the support and for seeing through @wbpictures desperate and scattershot attempt to discredit me to continue protecting those in power.”
    And on Monday (14Sep20), Momoa went into further details about how he’s backing Fisher as he reiterated his allegations about the bad treatment of the actors on the set.
    “THIS S**T HAS TO STOP AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT @ray8fisher AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO EXPERIENCED WHAT HAPPEN UNDER THE WATCH OF @wbpictures NEEDS PROPER INVESTIGATION,” he wrote alongside a picture of himself and Fisher at a Comic-Con panel event for the film. “I just think it’s f**ked up that people released a fake Frosty announcement without my permission to try to distract from Ray Fisher speaking up about the s**tty way we were treated on Justice League reshoots.”
    Momoa was referring to Warner Bros. announcement of an upcoming “Frosty the Snowman” movie, said to be produced by Berg and Johns, which he was reported to have taken the title role in. The announcement was made on the same day as Fisher’s initial claims.
    He concluded his Instagram post by writing, “Serious stuff went down. It needs to be investigated and people need to be held accountable. #IStandWithRayFisher.”

    Billie Eilish Credits 'The Office' for Giving Her 'Safe Space'

    Instagram

    The ‘Bad Guy’ hitmaker is such a superfan of the TV comedy that she watched the entire U.S. version, which was originally aired from 2005 to 2013, 14 times, often on her iPhone.
    Sep 15, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “The Office” helps transport Billie Eilish to a “safe space” when life is getting her down.
    The “Bad Guy” hitmaker is such a superfan of the TV comedy that the producers of podcast series “An Oral History of The Office” created a special finale all about her love of the programme, titled “Beauty in Ordinary Things… – The Legacy of The Office (2013-Present)”.
    “The Office” stars and revolving podcast hosts, Brian Baumgartner and Steve Carell, sat down with their famous superfan days after she scooped six Grammy Awards in February, and she was so stoked she offered to give them one of her trophies.
    “I don’t need all of them, you can have one,” she giggled.
    But “The Office” is serious business for Eilish, who revealed that tuning in “takes me away from the reality of my life,” adding, “It’s a safe space.”
    She also confessed to watching the entire U.S. version of the show, which aired from 2005 to 2013, 14 times, often on her iPhone, adding it’s not a new obsession.
    “Honestly, because I’ve been getting older, every time I watch it I understand something new, because I started at (age) 12,” the 18-year-old adds. “Most of the things that I know are because of ‘The Office’. I swear to God.”
    Billie’s mum Maggie even popped up on the FaceTime call to confirm that her daughter watches “The Office” “day and night,” while series stars Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski also dropped by to share some of their favourite memories.
    The final episode of “An Oral History of The Office” drops on 15 September.

    WENN/Jaime Espinoza

    The ‘Lovecraft Country’ actor has been cast for one of the lead roles in the upcoming ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ sequel opposite Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lily.
    Sep 15, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “Ant-Man 3” has added Jonathan Majors to its cast ensemble for a major role. The actor, best known for his portrayal of Atticus Freeman on HBO’s series “Lovecraft Country”, has been tapped to take on one of the lead roles in the upcoming Marvel movie.
    The 31-year-old performer is set to play the super-villain Kang the Conqueror, according to Deadline which has been confirmed by other news outlets. A time-traveling entity, the fictional Marvel Comics character was ranked as IGN’s 65th-greatest comic book villain of all time in 2009.
    Sources tell Deadline that “like with so many new characters in the MCU, there could be a twist with how the character is featured in future films.” Marvel Studios and Disney have not released a statement on Majors’ alleged casting report, but the sources believe that he is set to be one of the main villains in the next installment in the franchise.
    Should the news be true, Majors will join Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly, who are set to reprise their roles as Ant-Man a.k.a. Scott Lang and Hope van Dyne respectively in the third “Ant-Man” movie. Peyton Reed, who directed the first two films, is also set to return behind the lens, with Jeff Loveness penning the script. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige will produce.
    Majors rose to prominence after starring in the critically acclaimed independent feature film “The Last Black Man in San Francisco” (2019), for which he received an Independent Spirit Award nomination. He gained wider recognition after starring on the HBO series “Lovecraft Nation” and also took a part in Spike Lee’s 2020 movie “Da 5 Bloods”.
    The Yale University graduate will next be seen in Netflix’s movie “The Harder They Fall”, where he plays the lead role of outlaw Nat Love. The film is currently in production. He has also been tapped to star in Black Label media’s “Devotion”.

    'RHOP' Star Ashley Darby Smells Husband's Underwear Amid Cheating Rumors

    Instagram

    Meanwhile, Ashley seems to be reevaluating her relationship with ‘RHOP’ co-star Candiace Dillard after the latter tells her about Michael Darby’s cheating rumors.
    Sep 15, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “The Real Housewives of Potomac” star Ashley Darby has her own way to confirm whether her husband Michael Darby is cheating on her. In the Sunday, September 13 episode of the Bravo show, co-star Candiace Dillard showed her a text message alleging that Michael claimed he had a wife and a boyfriend while at a strip club.
    Later, Ashley shared how she reacted to the information. “As far as I know everything is well… That’s why I’m a little, um shocked,” she admitted. She went on revealing her way to confirm things.
    “I don’t just ask questions. I read emails, text messages, I sniff underwear, everything. Since I met him. One time he did come home smelling like perfume and I was upset. He said, ‘I’m sorry I was at the strip club.’ And this is when I was pregnant and very sensitive… He stopped going to strip clubs when I was pregnant,” she went on to say.

    Candiace and Ashley used to have a history back then, though their relationship seemed better in the recent months. However, it seemed like Ashley was reevaluating her relationship with Candiace. “Considering the source of where the information was coming from and our history, I was taking it with a grain of salt,” she said during her appearance on “Watch Watch Happens Live with Andy Cohen”.
    “I personally think that Candiace got this from someone on social media, and then it translated to a text message, because as this story unfolds she gives more information about how she knows this person and it’s just a little far-fetched for me,” she added.
    [embedded content]
    Candiace previously told Gizelle Bryant that he got the text from “a good friend of mine.” “[My friend] said, ‘Your girl’ baby daddy was out at the strip club last night,’ ” she explained. Gizelle then asked, “Whose baby daddy?” before Candiace showed her a photo of what appeared to be Michael.
    The text also allegedly read, “My girl is a bartender at the strip club and I came to see her. [Michael] was there with several strippers. He was talking about how he has a boyfriend and a wife. … He was asking who he could take to a hotel nearby.”
