    Madonna Hints on Secret Film Project With Diablo Cody

    WENN

    The ‘Like a Prayer’ hitmaker has shared a black-and-white video of her discussing points from her decades-long career with the ‘Juno’ screenwriter who types away on a laptop.
    Aug 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Madonna is headed behind the camera as she teased a new project with screenwriter Diablo Cody.
    The singer and actress, who won the Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy prize at the 1997 Golden Globe Awards for her performance in “Evita”, teased she’s reviving her film career, alongside Cody – best known for her Oscar-winning 2007 movie script for “Juno”.
    Taking to Instagram, the hitmaker shared a black-and-white video, showing her sitting on the couch as the writer types away on a laptop.
    “When you’re stuck in a house with multiple injuries what do you do? Write a screenplay with Diablo Cody about…” she captioned the post, alongside a string of emojis relating to film and music.
    While the star didn’t reveal any further details, fans began to speculate the pair was working on a biopic project, as the two discussed points from Madonna’s decades-long career, as they sat in front of a table covered in carefully laid out journals and notebooks.
    “The garters were over the suit bottoms, right?” Cody asked Madonna in the video, referring to a particular look from her 1990 Blond Ambition World Tour.
    “Yeah,” Madonna answered. “Straight pin-striped pants sit beneath the corset, it’s cut high-waisted on the leg, the garters come down here, cone bra zipped up the front and then the double-breasted suit coat goes over it.”

    The new project comes amid reports Madonna is set to sign an eight-figure deal to return to Warner Records, where she began her career, after splitting with Interscope following the release of her “Madame X” album last year (19).

    His MIA is greatly felt by fellow judges on ‘America’s Got Talent’ as Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum both take to their Instagram account to share a photo from the Universal Studios stage.
    Aug 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Simon Cowell is forced to skip filming of “America’s Got Talent” following an electric bike accident on Saturday, August 8 that made him undergo a back surgery. A representative for NBC confirms that Simon will not be present during “America’s Got Talent” inaugural live episodes on Tuesday and Wednesday as he missed Sunday’s filming.
    His MIA was greatly felt by fellow judges as Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum both took to their Instagram account to share a photo from the Universal Studios stage. The picture saw the two and Howie Mandel pointing out to Simon’s empty seat.
    “We miss our boss!! Come back fast @simoncowell!!” the former “Modern Family” star wrote in the caption. Meanwhile, Heidi captioned her post, “Wishing you a speedy recovery @simoncowell.”

    The 47-year-old German beauty also spoke about Simon’s absence on Instagram Stories. “Filming today for ‘America’s Got Talent’ and I’m here next to Simon’s trailer,” the model said in one clip. “I just wanted to say I miss you Simon and get well soon.”

    Simon was hospitalized on Saturday after falling off his bike at his home in Malibu, California. The 60-year-old was “testing his new electric bike in the courtyard at his house in Malibu with his family,” when he suffered a nasty fall, a representative for the star told PEOPLE.
    “Simon has broken his back and will be having surgery this evening,” they explained shortly after the incident occurred. “He hurt his back and was taken to the hospital. He’s doing fine, he’s under observation and is in the best possible hands.”
    Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Simon has been spending quality family time with his girlfriend Lauren Silverman, their six-year-old son Eric, and her 14-year-old son Adam from a previous relationship.

    Will Smith Settles Lawsuit Over Biopic of Serena and Venus Williams' Father

    WENN

    Overbrook Entertainment owned by the ‘Aladdin’ actor has reached a settlement after the company was sued over Richard Williams’ life story which is turned into a movie.
    Aug 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Will Smith’s production company, Overbrook Entertainment, has reached a settlement after being sued over “King Richard” – a biopic based on the life of Serena and Venus Williams’ father, Richard Williams.
    In court documents obtained by Entertainment Tonight, it is claimed Overbrook chiefs “have entered into a settlement” with TW3 Entertainment and Power Move Multimedia, who are “dismissing their claims against defendants with prejudice.”
    The two parties, however, ask the court to retain “jurisdiction over the Parties to enforce the payment term in the settlement.”
    Also named as defendants in the suit are Warner Bros., Williams and his son and business partner Chavoita LeSane, and production company Star Thrower Entertainment, as well as its executives Timothy and Trevor White.
    Back in June (20), it emerged that bosses at TW3 Entertainment and Power Move Multimedia were suing over the project, claiming that they were the true owners of the tennis coach’s life rights.
    They claimed they bought the rights to Williams’ 2014 memoir, “Black and White: The Way I See It”, in 2017 from LeSane, who allegedly had been given power of attorney by his father for the “purposes of dealing with film and media rights for his book.”
    LeSane was allegedly involved in an initial draft of a script for the project too, before Williams later sold the rights to his story for “King Richard” for $1 million (£800,000).
    “King Richard”, starring Will as Richard, Saniyya Sidney as Venus, and Demi Singleton as Serena, is slated for a 2021 release.

    Jennifer Aniston Assures Fans 'Friends' Reunion Will Be 'Super' as It's Delayed Yet Again

    NBC

    The actress who plays runaway bride Rachel Green insists the reunion project will happen although it has been further delayed amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
    Aug 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jennifer Aniston has assured fans the highly-anticipated “Friends” reunion special will happen, despite ongoing delays amid the Covid-19 crisis.
    On Friday (07Aug20), producer Leo Pearlman told Deadline filming had been slated to begin in the next two weeks, but representatives from streamer HBO Max distanced themselves from the claims, with reports emerging that the show had been pushed to May 2021.
    Insisting that the gathering, also featuring David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, and Lisa Kudrow will definitely happen, Jennifer told the publication, “Unfortunately it’s very sad that we had to move it again. It was, ‘How do we do this with live audiences?’ This is not a safe time. Period. That’s the bottom line. It’s not a safe time to do it.”
    While the star didn’t share any further details, she insisted the setback will give the cast and creatives a chance to work on the reunion more, adding, “It’s going to be super. You know what? This has also given us more time to make it even more exciting and more fun than it would have been. So I choose to see it as the glass is half-full that it got postponed.”
    “Look, we’re not going anywhere. You’re never going to get rid of Friends, sorry. You’re stuck with us for life guys.”
    The reunion was scheduled to air as the new streaming service debuted earlier this summer (20).

    'Grey's Anatomy' Will Be Set 'a Month and a Half' Into Covid-19 Pandemic for New Season

    ABC

    The Ellen Pompeo-starring medical television drama series is expected to take place ‘a month and a half’ into the coronavirus health crisis when the show returns for the new episodes.
    Aug 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The forthcoming series of “Grey’s Anatomy” will take place “a month and a half” into the Covid-19 pandemic.
    Showruner Krista Vernoff previously confirmed that the series would indeed tackle the pandemic in the new season, insisting there’s “no way to be a long-running medical show and not do the medical story of our lifetimes.”
    In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, actor Giacomo Gianniotti, who has played Dr. Andrew DeLuca on the TV medical drama since 2015, opened up about the forthcoming episodes, confirming, “It’s going to take place a little beyond where we left off in the last season.”
    “We might have some flashbacks. We might have some things where we’re referencing last season, just to have context leading up,” he explained. “But we are going to have a little leap when we start this season in terms of time. We’re not picking up right where we left off.”
    According to Gianniotti, the show is hoping to resume filming in September.

    Debra Messing Hated Her Body and Starved Herself as She Couldn't Fit Into 'Will and Grace' Costumes

    WENN

    The Grace Adler depicter claims the outfits prepared for her onscreen character on the TV show are too small so she would just leave hating herself and her body.
    Aug 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Debra Messing is convinced she was too skinny during the first run of TV sitcom “Will & Grace” after starving herself to fit into costumes.
    The actress reveals she dropped from a size eight to a size two after realising she was too big to squeeze into outfits picked out for her Grace Adler character.
    “When I started Will & Grace I was a size eight and what happened was, every time I would go in for a fitting, I couldn’t fit into clothes,” Debra told Jameela Jamil on her I Weigh podcast. “Eighty per cent of it, I couldn’t fit into and I would just leave hating my body and hating myself.”
    “I loved my costume designer; she would always say, ‘Don’t worry,’ and she would talk to her assistant and say, ‘OK, can you call over and get a larger size?’ And that was sort of the thing that was always on repeat all the time.”
    “So of course, I thought, ‘My life would be so much easier, and it would be easier on everybody trying to do their job, if I just lost weight’. So I started doing yoga every single day and I did one of those meal delivery services. I started to get smaller and then I was a (size) six, and they were like, ‘You’re losing weight, you look amazing!’ ”
    The message she heard “as a woman was, ‘Oh, this is making them happy, so I should do more of it.’ ”
    And then “Ally McBeal” stars Calista Flockhart and Portia de Rossi started to make super-skinny fashionable in Hollywood – and Debra felt too big again, “I would try to fit into these gowns and of course they weren’t sample sizes and it was like, ‘OK, we have to let out the seams…’ ”
    “This was supposed to be the greatest time of my life… – I was standing next to all of these other actresses who were half my size, and I felt fat, and I felt ugly. I look back at those pictures and I was beautiful! I mourn the fact that that was my interpretation of reality and that was the torture that I put myself through.”
    “I was way too skinny… but I fit into everything… So all of a sudden, everything seemed to open up for me, because I was a (size) two.”

    Bryan Cranston Would Love to Join 'Breaking Bad' Spin-Off 'Better Call Saul'

    The Walter White depicter says he would jump at the chance of reprising his TV role in the Bob Odenkirk-starring series about Saul Goodman if he’s asked to.
    Aug 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Bryan Cranston wants to reprise his iconic role as Walter White in “Breaking Bad in its spin-off “Better Call Saul”.
    The AMC drama focusing on criminal lawyer Saul Goodman’s past has now reached a fifth season, which is set in 2004, four years before “Breaking Bad” ‘s Walter begins his journey from law-abiding chemistry teacher to methamphetamine kingpin.
    Speaking to Collider, Bryan revealed he’d jump at the chance of a cameo role but creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould haven’t asked.
    “I would be in (Better Call Saul) if Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, who are co-executive producers on it, wanted me to be in it,” he said. “I’d do it in a second. But it hasn’t happened yet, I can tell you, and we’ll see. I don’t know. There’s one more season to go and we’ll see what happens!”
    Vince has previously expressed his desire for Bryan to join the “Better Call Saul} team alongside lead actor Bob Odenkirk – but as a director.
    “I’d love to have Bryan direct an episode,” he told Collider. “I got to write an episode (of Breaking Bad) that Bryan directed and I was on set with him every day, and it was a wonderful experience. He’s a magnificent director. He’s one of the few directors who has a facility for the lightest comedy and the darkest drama. He’s remarkable.”
    Bryan confirmed he’s been asked to get behind the camera on multiple occasions – but has always turned it down due to scheduling problems.
    “I’ve been asked to direct an episode every single season and it just didn’t work out because of a commitment to doing a play or doing a movie or something, so I wasn’t able to section out the times available,” he said. “But I do love the show. I think it’s a fantastic show.”
    The actor last played Walter in “El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie”, in 2019, in which he appeared in a flashback.
