    Stephen Colbert Returns to Office After Five Months of Lockdown

    CBS

    The host of CBS’ ‘Late Show’ is back to his New York office at the Ed Sullivan Building for the first time in five months following coronavirus lockdown.
    Aug 12, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Stephen Colbert returned to his “The Late Show” hub in New York for the first time in five months on Monday (10Aug20).
    After months of filming episodes of his CBS show “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” from his own home, the 56-year-old host took to Twitter to reveal he was finally heading back to the office.
    “Back to NYC offices tomorrow after five months. Looking forward to broadcasting again from the Greatest City on Earth,” Colbert began, alongside a photo of a bunch of sourdough loaves he’d baked. “And just in time (maybe way past time), I finally cracked that sourdough puzzle.”
    However, when he set foot into the building it soon became apparent how long it’d been since he was last there, as Rogen uncovered an unwelcome surprise in his desk.
    “Tonight, after five months, I’m back in my office at the Ed Sullivan Building! Unrelated question: how long does desk drawer egg salad keep?” he quipped

    It was revealed last week that both Colbert’s “The Late Show” and James Corden’s “The Late Late Show” will be filming episodes in their studio homes this week.
    No audience members will be in attendance for either of the shows, which come after Jimmy Fallon was the first to return to The Tonight Show studio two weeks ago. Conan O’Brien has also filmed “Conan” from the Largo in Los Angeles.

    Will Smith's 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' Reboot Sparks Bidding War

    NBC

    Bosses at the giant streaming services like HBO Max, Netflix, and Peacock have reportedly vying for the rights to air the new and updated ‘Bel-Air’ drama series.
    Aug 12, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Will Smith is revamping his hit sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” as a TV drama series.
    Superfan Morgan Cooper caught Smith’s eye early last year (19) when he posted a fake trailer for the show, reimagined as a drama, on YouTube.
    The four-minute clip, which Cooper created and directed, went viral and now Smith has recruited him to turn the dream scenario into a full series.
    Cooper will work with “The Wire” ‘s Chris Collins to write the script, which he will also direct and executive produce. Collins will serve as showrunner, while original producers Smith, legendary musician Quincy Jones, and Jennifer Lopez’s longtime manager Benny Medina will return, alongside “Fresh Prince” creators Andy and Susan Borowitz.
    Simply titled “Bel-Air”, the serialised one-hour drama will be set in modern-day America and delve into the emotions and complications behind lead character Will’s journey from the streets of West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to his uncle’s gated estate in Bel-Air, Los Angeles.
    According to The Hollywood Reporter, the project has been in the works for over a year, and is currently attracting big bids from bosses at streaming services including HBO Max, Netflix, and Peacock, the new platform from officials at the original show’s broadcaster NBC.
    Smith shot to fame after the huge success of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, which ran for six seasons until 1996 and co-starred the late James Avery, Alfonso Ribeiro, and Tatyana Ali.
    The “Independence Day” actor recently reunited with his old castmembers for the season finale of his Snapchat isolation series “Will From Home”, which debuted in April (20).

    'Black-ish' Debuts Political Episode on Hulu After It's Blocked by ABC

    ABC

    The episode called ‘Please, Baby, Please’ is now available on Hulu, several years after the political outing filmed in 2017 was banned by ABC due to ‘creative differences.’
    Aug 12, 2020
    AceShowbiz – A political episode of “Black-ish” that was shelved by ABC executives over “creative differences” is now available to view on Hulu.
    The episode, “Please, Baby, Please”, had been set to air in February 2018, but never ultimately made it to screens. However, after years of anticipation series creator Kenya Barris announced on Monday (10Aug20) the lost instalment is now available to view.
    “In November 2017, we made an episode of black-ish entitled Please, Baby, Please,” Barris said in a statement posted to Instagram, referring to the episode which focuses on multiple social and political issues.
    “We were one year post-election and coming to the end of a year that left us, like many Americans, grappling with the state of our country and anxious about its future.”
    He added that the episode came out of the tumultuous state of the country and the world, at the time.
    “Those feelings poured onto the page, becoming 22 minutes of television that I was, and still am, incredibly proud of. Please, Baby, Please didn’t make it to air that season… And, while much has been speculated about its contents, the episode has never been seen publicly… until now.”
    Barris also said he requested the episode to be aired after the re-airing of its Juneteenth and Hope episodes.
    “I cannot wait for everyone to finally see the episode for themselves and, as was the case nearly three years ago, we hope it inspires some much-needed conversation,” he added. “Not only about what we were grappling with then or how it led to where we are now, but conversations about where we want our country to go moving forward and, most importantly, how we get there together.”
    “Black-ish”, starring Tracee Ellis Ross and Anthony Anderson, started airing on ABC in 2014, and was renewed for a seventh season in May.

    Report: Marvel Eyes Shia LaBeouf as the Next Iceman

    WENN

    Words are the ‘Honey Boy’ star is now the studio’s top contender to play the mutant superhero in a possible X-Men reboot, which will mark his return to a big budget project.
    Aug 12, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Shia LaBeouf could be the new Iceman in MCU. The 34-year-old actor, who has been shying away from big studio’s projects for years now, is reportedly considered by Marvel to be the next Iceman in its potential X-Men reboot.
    According to We Got This Covered which first reported the news, the juicy info came from reliable sources who previously revealed a She-Hulk show is coming to Disney Plus and a live-action Robin Hood remake is in the works at Disney. LaBeouf was previously rumored to play Moon Knight and while he’s still in the running for the role, he’s no longer considered a top choice.
    Iceman, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, is a mutant born with superhuman abilities. He has the ability to manipulate ice and cold by freezing water vapor around him. The character first appeared in “The X-Men” #1 which was published in September 1963.
    In big screen, the character was first portrayed by Shawn Ashmore in “X-Men”, “X2”, “X-Men: The Last Stand” and “X-Men: Days of Future Past”. He’s depicted as having a romantic relationship with Rogue (Anna Paquin) in the earlier films, but later their relationship is strained by their inability to have physical contact and by his close friendship with Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page) in “The Last Stand”.
    Should the news be true and LaBeouf land the role, it will mark his return to a big budget movie. The actor, who debuted as a child star in 1996 and starred as Louis Stevens on the Disney Channel series “Even Stevens”, went on to become an A-list star following his appearance in the first three “Transformers” film, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” and “Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps” among others.
    In the 2010s, he starred in critically-acclaimed movies like “Lawless (2012)”, “The Company You Keep”, “Nymphomaniac” and “Fury”. After a two-year break, he returned with “Honey Boy” which earned rave reviews from critics.
    However, his personal life was far from flattering, with him being arrested in 2014 for disorderly conduct and criminal trespass charges and once again in 2017 for public drunkenness, disorderly conduct and obstruction, which were all attributed to his alcoholism. He was later diagnosed with PTSD during a stint in drug rehabilitation following the arrest.

    Howard Stern Offers Ellen DeGeneres Strong Advice Amid Show's Backlash

    WENN

    In the Monday, August 10 episode of his SiriusXM show, the longtime radio personality, who has been friends with Ellen for years, revealed what would he do if he were in Ellen’s shoes.
    Aug 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Howard Stern is weighing in on the toxic culture allegations against both Ellen DeGeneres and her show “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”. In the Monday, August 10 episode of his SiriusXM show, the longtime radio personality revealed what would he do if he were in Ellen’s shoes.
    “You know what I’d do if I was Ellen? I would change my whole image. I’d go on the air and be a son of a b***h,” the 65-year-old said. “People would come on and (I would) go, ‘F**k you’ [and] just be a p***k.”
    Howard, who has been friends with Ellen for years, went on saying, “So you think I’m a p***k? I’m going to show you exactly. … I’m known on the air as a p***k, but off the air, I’m known as a great guy, you know, for the most part.”
    Howard made the comments after new allegations against Ellen surfaced online. Ben Gravolet, a man in her Louisiana hometown, accused the star of bullying and fat-shaming him as a pre-teen. “I would dread going to (my mum’s) office to see her after school or on a day if I was sick and Ellen was there,” the 52-year-old father of three and New Orleans marketing agency vice president claimed.
    “She would criticize my weight. I would try to do homework in the office, she’d call me stupid, she’d call me fat. She would criticize my clothes,” he added.
    Ellen was also hit by claims she tried to get a waitress suspended for having chipped nail polish. Actress Chris Farah alleged she was working at popular Los Angeles restaurant Real Food Daily in 2014 when Ellen and her wife Portia de Rossi came in for a meal. She was thrilled to meet the stars but found out later Ellen had emailed the restaurant owner complaining about her server’s “s****y” nail polish.
