    Sep 15, 2020

Airing on Monday, September 14, the new season featured new host Tyra Banks, replacing OG host Tom Bergeron and co-host Erin Andrews. Derek Hough, meanwhile, served as a new judge for this season since Len Goodman couldn’t fly to the U.S. from the U.K. due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Kicking off the night was Backstreet Boys member AJ McLean and his partner Cheryl Burke. They opted to perform a jive to The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights”. Of the performance, judge Bruno Tonioli praised them for being “powerful” and “strong,” while Derek wished they had a “little more jive action.” All judges, including Carrie Ann Inaba, gave the pair 6, bringing their total score to 18 out of 30.

    Erin Andrews on Losing 'Dancing with the Stars' Job: 'It Was a Super Big Bummer'

    Instagram

    Even though the sideline reporter is disappointed over being let go from the show, she feels there’s ‘something on the horizon’ now that she has more free time in her schedule.
    Sep 15, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Erin Andrews is not hiding her disappointment over her surprise firing from “Dancing with the Stars”. Sharing her side of the story in a new interview, the dancing competition show’s longtime co-host candidly admitted it “was a super big bummer” that she was being let go ahead of season 29.
    The 42-year old spoke up about how she felt over her sudden exit in the Monday, September 14 episode of the “Token CEO” podcast. “I didn’t have much time to deal with it. I got a call that said, ‘So-and-so from ABC wants to talk to you,’ and I was like, ‘Oh, s**t, this is it.’ I felt sorry for myself,” she recalled. “Yeah, it was a super big bummer.”
    On the reason why she had it hard, the longtime NFL sideline reporter pointed out that her dismissal was done at such a bad timing due to the coronavirus pandemic. “I kind of was like, ‘This is a terrible time to lose my job,’ because we don’t know when live television is coming back,” she explained. “These are hard jobs to get. I was like, ‘Oh no, I’m a loser, this is really bad.’ ”
    Despite her initial worry and disappointment, the wife of former NHL forward Jarret Stoll tried to keep a positive attitude. “Nobody wants to be let go when it’s not on their terms, but I do think there’s something on the horizon. I’m definitely working my people to find something and put something on the horizon,” she shared.
    The TV personality also tried to look at her situation through another perspective. “These are the things people go through in their life. Right? And I did remind myself, by the way, there’s people that have such worse stuff going on right now,” she said. “I mean, give me a break, for me to be that selfish and think, ‘Oh, my God, the world’s ending.’ People have lost multiple people in their families because of COVID.”
    Erin had worked as Tom Bergeron’s co-host on “DWTS” since March 2014. In July 2020, ABC announced that both she and Tom would not be returning to their hosting duties. Tyra Banks has been appointed to take over their roles as the new host in addition to being the show’s executive producer.

    Dwayne Johnson Returns to Film 'Red Notice' After Battle With COVID-19

    Instagram

    The ‘Jumanji: The Next Level’ star revealed in early September that he, his wife and their two young daughters all tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
    Sep 15, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has returned to work on “Red Notice” after battling COVID-19 over the summer.
    The action man’s brother-in-law and producing partner Hiram Garcia insists the star is in good health as he resumes work on the Netflix production.
    “It’s been an incredible process and undertaking to get a production up-and-running,” he tells Variety. “Netflix has had the attitude that whatever it will take to keep things safe for the crew, they are 100 per cent behind.”
    Johnson revealed earlier this month that himself, his wife and daughters Jasmine, four, and Tiana, two, all tested positive for the coronavirus.
    “Testing positive for COVID-19 is a lot different than recovering from nasty injuries, getting evicted or being broke, which I’ve been more than a few times,” the movie star said. “I wish it was only me that tested positive. It was my entire family and it was a kick in the gut. We are good, we’re on the other end of it and no longer contagious. Thank God, we’re healthy.”

    Johnson’s “Red Notice” co-star Ryan Reynolds documented his return to the film over the weekend, taking to Instagram to document the coronavirus testing process on set.

    Don Lewis’ three kids and their attorney, John Phillips, have reportedly purchased time to air a commercial during the U.S. competition show, and they will be asking people to send tips regarding his mysterious disappearance, which was covered on Netflix’s hit docu-series.
    On the show, the real Tiger King, Joe Exotic, accused Baskin of killing her husband. She has always maintained her innocence.
    According to TMZ, Lewis’ daughters Gale, Lynda, and Donna, and his former assistant, Anne McQueen, will appear alongside Phillips in the ad.
    Meanwhile, Baskin will have a big name fan when she makes her debut on “Dancing With the Stars” – Sylvester Stallone.
    The big cat conservationist will hit the dancefloor to Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” – the theme from Stallone’s “Rocky 3” – and the movie star’s daughter Sistine insists her dad will be watching.
    “He’s gonna love that,” she tells Access Daily. “He’s actually a big ‘Dancing with the Stars’ fan.”

    Lady GaGa Allegedly In Negotiations to Replace January Jones as White Queen for Next 'X-Men' Movie

    WENN/20th Century Fox

    The ‘Born This Way’ hitmaker is reportedly in talks to play Emma Frost or White Queen who was previously played by January Jones in the 2011 installment ‘X-Men: First Class’.
    Sep 15, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa is reportedly circling a new X-Men character for an upcoming Marvel blockbuster.
    The pop superstar, who showed off her acting skills in “A Star is Born”, is in talks to play Emma Frost aka the White Queen, according to We Got This Covered.
    Frost was previously played by January Jones in 2011’s “X-Men: First Class”, but fans criticised the portrayal, insisting Jones’ character was not true to the character from the comics.
    If she signs on, Gaga might not be the only singer suiting up for the new “X-Men” movie – Janelle Monae recently expressed interest in playing Storm, a mutant character previously portrayed by Halle Berry.
    “A lot of women have played Storm and they’ve done an exceptional job, and I would love to be in that line of artists and get to do Storm justice,” she told Empire.

    Instagram

    Proposing the idea via a social media post, the ‘Betty’ singer’s devotee suggests Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Jesse Tyler Ferguson as the stars of the possible project.
    Sep 14, 2020
    AceShowbiz – A Taylor Swift fan has envisioned a movie based on the star’s track “The Last Great American Dynasty” – and the hitmaker’s totally onboard.
    The user took to social media on their @TSlifestyle13 Twitter account to propose the idea, suggesting Taylor’s friends Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson should star in the film.
    “‘The Last Great American Dynasty’ would make an incredible movie. The story is timeless yet unique, the music would be exquisite, and it already has the perfect title. As for the cast: Blake Lively (Rebekah), Ryan Reynolds (Bill), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (neighbor),” the fan tweeted.
    Jesse was the first one to see the tweet and he retweeted it with the message, “Ok I’m avail for this.” Ryan later joined the conversation, responding, “But Bill’s heart… ?”.
    And they’re not the only ones up for getting involved in the possible project – the hitmaker herself also chimed in, writing, “not trying to be The Loudest Woman This Town Has Ever Seen but… I LOVE THIS.”

    Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift reacted to ‘The Last Great American Dynasty’ movie idea.
    “The Last Great American Dynasty” is on Taylor’s latest album “Folklore”, and is based on eccentric heiress and ballet director Rebekah Harkness who once owned the singer’s multi-million-dollar beachfront mansion in Watch Hill, Rhode Island.
