    Aug 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Following the cancellation of her popular talk show “Strahan, Sara & Keke”, Keke Palmer seemingly is planning to develop a new project. The “Snack” singer has taken to her Twitter account to tease a millenial take on “The View”.
    Asking her followers on the blue bird app, Keke wrote on Monday, August 10, “If I were to create a millnnial [sic] ‘The View’, who would you want to be my co-hosts?” Some fans came up with a few suggestions, including Zendaya Coleman, Willow Smith and Sophie Turner.
    Viral social media star Denzel Dion also responded to Keke’s tweet, showing interest in becoming the host of the planned project alongside Rickey Thompson. “i mean this sounds perfect for me & @lifeofrickey,” Denzel wrote, to which Keke replied with curious eyes emoji.

    Keke Palmer teases a new project.
    Keke’s “Good Morning America” show, which she co-hosted alongside Michael Strahan and Sara Haines, was canceled in July. During her appearance on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen”, Keke shared that the decision was “expected.”
    “Here’s the thing, when the pandemic hit, that’s what became all on our mind, was the pandemic – corona, understanding COVID,” she told host Andy. “So I kind of knew that, if our show did come back, it would have to be much, much, much later because our show is really about an audience.”
    She went on saying, “When you think about it, that’s what we do. We do a little bit of news, but it’s entertainment news. It’s really fun conversations and lightheartedness. So it’s a different time now, and some of the conversation has changed, and I think it just kinda pushed (‘Strahan, Sara and Keke’) out.”
    Last week, the 26-year-old actress was announced to join the cast of Disney Plus’ series “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder”. Keke will play the role of 14-year-old Maya Leibowitz-Jenkins, who is a student and activist. Other cast members include Kyla Pratt, Tommy Davidson, Cedric the Entertainer, Jo Marie Payton and more.

    'Fargo' Gets September Premiere Date for Chris Rock-Starring Season 4

    FX

    Months after COVID-19 shut down all productions, the latest installment of Noah Hawley’s anthology show is set to resume filming for its remaining episodes in late August.
    Aug 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Chris Rock’s upcoming “Fargo” series now has a premiere date as filming on the much-anticipated programme resumes after the coronavirus shutdown.
    The fourth installment of Noah Hawley’s anthology show, in which comedian Rock will star, will hit TV screens in America on 27 September, five months after it was initially scheduled to premiere in mid-April.
    Production shut down in mid-March as the COVID crisis shut down all filming projects and producers decided it would be better to launch the series when they knew they could complete it.

    According to Deadline, the series is now in pre-production in Chicago, Illinois with filming on the remaining episodes set to resume later this month.
    The two-hour premiere will hit the FX network on 27 September and the remaining 10 episodes will air weekly after that.
    As per the previous three series, “Fargo” is inspired by the cult 1996 film written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, who serve as executive producers on the TV project.
    Jason Schwartzman, Ben Whishaw, Jessie Buckley, Jack Huston, Corey Hendrix, Glynn Turman, and Timothy Olyphant will also feature alongside Rock on the new series.

    Sara Bareilles to Star on Tina Fey's Comedy Series 'Girls5eva'

    WENN

    The ‘Gravity’ hitmaker is set to play former Girls5eva member Dawn, who is now a bit restless in life while managing her family’s small Italian restaurant in Queens.
    Aug 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Sara Bareilles and Tina Fey are joining forces for a new comedy series for NBCU’s Peacock. Titled “Girls5eva”, the series will follow a one-hit-wonder girl group from the ’90s that gets sampled by a young rapper, making the members of the girl group decide to get back together.
    “They may be grown women balancing spouses, kids, jobs, debt, aging parents and shoulder pain, but can’t they also be Girls5eva?” the logline asks. On the series, Sara is set to play former Girls5eva member Dawn. Her character is described as someone who is now a bit restless in life while managing her family’s small Italian restaurant in Queens. However, when the opportunity arises, Dawn reluctantly reunites Girls5eva, and it might just be exactly what she needed.
    “It is a pinch-me moment to get to cross paths creatively with women like Meredith Scardino and Tina Fey, who I have been a fan of forever,” the “Gravity” singer said in a statement. “I am a longtime admirer of so many of the characters they have brought to life in other projects, and I am already in love with the women at the center of Girls5eva. I am so excited to help bring to life what I know will be a smart, creative, hilarious show with a lot of heart.”
    Sara’s acting credits included Broadway’s “Waitress” in 2015 and NBC’s 2018 live production of “Jesus Christ Superstar Live!”. However, “Girls5eva” will mark the Grammy-winning singer’s first acting role on a TV series. Meanwhile, she recently executive produced with J.J. Abrams and Jessie Nelson for Apple’s “Little Voice”, a 10-episode musical dramedy series.
    Back to “Girls5Eva”, Meredith (“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”) will pen and executive produce the series. Tina and Robert Carlock will also serve as executive producers along with Jeff Richmond, David Miner and Eric Gurian. Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, is the studio.

    Michele Morrone: '365 DNI' Is Not Meant to Minimize the Reality of Sexual Violence

    Instagram

    The actor playing mafia boss Massimo in the erotic film has shared his thought on the criticism that the movie glamorizes rape, kidnapping, and sex trafficking.
    Aug 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Actor Michele Morrone has spoken out against critics of his Netflix movie “365 Days” (a.k.a. “365 DNI”).
    The erotic film follows a mafia boss named Massimo, played by Morrone, who has a near-death experience and sees the image of a young woman named Laura (Anna Maria Sieklucka) while he’s close to dying.
    Years later, he runs into that woman by chance, kidnaps her, and gives her 365 days to fall in love with him, with viewers criticising the film for glamorising rape, kidnapping, and sex trafficking.
    “Mercy” singer Duffy is among those who have spoken out about the movie after going through a similar real-life experience but, speaking to E! News, Morrone insisted, “it’s important to remember that this film is based on a work of fiction”.
    “365 Days was a very successful book in Poland before it was made into a movie. When an audience watches a film, I think they know what they see on screen is not always real, but my job as an actor is to make it feel real, to make you connect to Massimo even though he is a mob boss,” he explained.
    “I trust the audience to know that this movie is a fantasy,” he added, affirming that, “this behaviour is completely unacceptable in real life.”
    While Morrone does understand where people are coming from when they criticise the movie, he reflected that, “we have to be careful not to limit art from being created”.
    “I wouldn’t say we shouldn’t allow a fictional movie like this to exist, because then what about films that are about war, crimes, murders, and, yes, celebrated mob movies,” he asked. “This film is not meant to minimise the reality of sexual violence in the world. I do not want people to think this behaviour is OK. It is not.”
    “I think it’s good that the movie is causing people to talk about these issues, so we can create more awareness about them in our society.”

    Aug 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Kelly Clarkson has jumped in to replace Simon Cowell as a judge on “America’s Got Talent”.
    Cowell has been forced to sit out the rest of the current season after breaking his back in a weekend bike accident and now the singer who owes her career to the music mogul is joining the show as a judge.
    Clarkson will take over Cowell’s seat alongside Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Sofia Vergara on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 11-12 as the show returns.
    “My friend, Simon Cowell, is doing better now but was in an accident and won’t be able to make Tuesday and Wednesday’s live shows for AGT, but no worries America, someone far wiser, cooler, and hotter is taking his seat! The unbelievably amazing Kelly Clarkson,” Clarkson says. “You’re welcome in advance!”.

    Clarkson is no stranger to U.S. talent shows – as well as winning the first season of “American Idol”, she’s also a judge on “The Voice”. And she was named Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host at the recent Daytime Emmy Awards.
    Meanwhile, Cowell has pulled all his commitments for the foreseeable future after undergoing a five-hour surgery on his back following a fall from an electric bicycle in the yard of his Malibu, California home on Saturday, August 08.

    Zoe Kravitz Blasts Hulu for Lack of Diversity Following 'High Fidelity' Cancellation

    WENN

    Some fans are also angered by the cancellation as one says, ‘This is why their decision was so nonsensical! Cancelling this show, taking away this nuanced portrayal of a woman of color.’
    Aug 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Zoe Kravitz is calling out Hulu for its lack of diversity. The actress has taken a jab at the network publicly, days after her series on the streaming platform, “High Fidelity”, was canceled after one season.
    “i wanna give a shout out to my #highfidelity family. thank you for all the love and heart you put into this show. i’m in awe of all of you. and thank you to everyone who watched, loved and supported us. #breakupssuck,” she wrote alongside a picture of her and her co-stars.
    Some celebrity fans reacted to her post as Mindy Kaling wrote in the comment section, “Oh I loved #HighFidelity! This is sad news.” Zoe’s “Big Little Lies” co-star Reese Witherspoon also chimed in, saying, “I am so sad. I loved this show.”
    Lena Waithe, meanwhile, wrote, “NOOOOOOO!!! I rarely find shows that genuinely impress me. This one did. I told you how much I loved this show. And I still do. This one definitely deserved another season.”
    Tessa Thompson then commented on Saturday, August 8, “I will miss you alllllllllllll so much.” In her response to Tessa’s comment, Zoe threw a shade at Hulu. “It’s cool. At least Hulu has a ton of other shows starring women of color we can watch. Oh wait,” so she replied. When it comes to series with black woman in the lead, Hulu only has limited series “Little Fires Everywhere”.
    Some fans were also angered by the cancellation. “This is why their decision was so nonsensical! Cancelling this show, taking away this nuanced portrayal of a woman of color …one of their worst decisions,” wrote a fan. “Btw, where was the promo? I only found out about this show by stumbling upon an article online.”
    “High Fidelity” was inspired by Nick Hornby’s novel and the 2000 John Cusack film which starred her mother Lisa Bonet. It centered on Zoe’s Rob, a record store owner who is a pop culture nut and loves a good “Top 5” list.

    Claire Danes Calls Herself Masochist for Reading Bad 'Homeland' Reviews While in Labor

    Fox 21

    When sharing her experience in giving birth to her first child, the actress playing Carrie Mathison in the series recalls going into labor during a shopping spree with her husband, Hugh Dancy.
    Aug 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Claire Danes put herself through torment as she was giving birth to her first child in 2012 by reading bad reviews about the finale of the second season of “Homeland”.
    The actress reveals she went into labour early during a shopping spree with her husband, Hugh Dancy, and while she was struggling with the birth she decided to check out what the critics were saying about her hit show.
    “The birth of Cyrus was planned and happened to be the (same day as the) airing of the finale of the second season,” she says during a virtual 92Y in Conversation event. “Hugh and I were at Bed, Bath and Beyond (store) getting the last few things that we needed, and it all happened much faster than it was supposed to. It wasn’t supposed to happen until the next morning.”
    “I was in increasing agony, awake, and I should’ve been asleep and it occurred to me that the finale had aired. I’m on my phone wondering what people thought about it, looking for feedback which is the worst thing you can do because inevitably someone will say something bad. It was the definition of masochism. I am in labour and reading bad reviews!”.

    And she admits young Cyrus’ life has been all about Homeland, which finished its run earlier this year, adding, “My son went to his first school ever, kindergarten, in Germany. When he was throwing tantrums at three years old and he was literally saying, ‘Nein, nein, nein!’ He spent almost a full year in school in Morocco. He’s such an international little dude now.”
    “All of those influences have shaped him in very real ways. It’s been very informative for us and our offspring. I mean my son was inside me kicking when we were filming. Lesli (Linka Glatter) was holding him while she was directing for four months. On the final season he was on her lap literally calling, ‘Action’ and ‘Cut.’ It was kind of amazing.”

    Robert Pattinson Got Caught Lying About 'The Batman' Audition by 'Tenet' Director

    WENN

    The former ‘Twilight Saga’ star recalls trying to keep him being in the run to replace Ben Affleck as the Caped Crusader a secret from Christopher Nolan while filming their new movie together.
    Aug 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Robert Pattinson threw filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s famous secrecy back at him after landing an audition for “The Batman” while filming new movie “Tenet”.
    Nolan is well-known for keeping plot and casting details for his films close to his chest, and when his new leading man found out he was in the running to replace Ben Affleck as the Caped Crusader, he decided to lie about the role.
    “It’s funny because Chris is so secretive about everything to do with his movies, and then I had to be really secretive about Batman stuff,” Robert tells The Irish Times. “So I had to lie to Chris about having to go for a screen test. I said I had a family emergency.”
    “As soon as I said, ‘It’s a family emergency’, he said, ‘You’re doing ‘The Batman’ audition, aren’t you?’.”
    Pattinson’s new movie is now set to be released later this month, while filming on “The Batman” is set to recommence next month after the project was put on ice due to the COVID crisis. It will hit cinemas in October, 2021.
    Nolan also has a history with the DC Comics superhero – he directed “The Dark Knight” trilogy with Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne and his batty alter ego.
