    'RHOA' Reunion: Eva Marcille and NeNe Leakes Get Into Screaming Match

    Bravo

    The other cast members are stunned with how things escalate between NeNe and Eva before host and executive producer Andy Cohen decides to mute NeNe’s video feed.
    May 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” finally aired the first part of season 12 reunion, which saw the Housewives filming from their own houses. The Sunday, May 10 episode featured Porsha Williams going after Kenya Moore as she brought a lot of receipts, while NeNe Leakes and Eva Marcille were exchanging insults like there is no tomorrow.
    The tension between NeNe and Eva rose after the latter interjected herself into every argument throughout the hour. “This isn’t your fight,” NeNe told Eva, who later responded, “Sweetheart, it’s whatever I want it to be.”
    NeNe then shaded Eva about wanting to turn her plumb into a peach, alluding that she wanted to be the main character on the Bravo show. That appeared to trigger Eva who then reminded NeNe that “I was on the red carpet you were trying to get on when I met you.” Before she finished her sentence, NeNe yelled, “Nobody cares about you being on a carpet 17 years ago,” referring to Eva’s “America’s Next Top Model” win back in 2004.
    The two continued to take a jab at each other. Eva claimed that she was “the face of a cosmetic line,” but NeNe said that Eva was “broke” when she came to Atlanta. “All you can talk about is ‘Top Model’, and that was the last time you was on top. You’re a freshman, b***h. Remember that!” added NeNe, before demanding that Eva respected “the elders” and went “back to L.A.”
    Meanwhile, the other cast members were stunned with how things escalated between NeNe and Eva and host Andy Cohen asked them to move on. However, he was ignored by them, prompting him to mute NeNe’s video feed, much to Porsha’s liking.

    As for Kenya and Porsha, the latter brought some text messages in which Kenya allegedly told her that she wanted to take Cynthia Bailey down this season. “So there’s a text from Kenya to you, [Porsha], dogging me out, [and] trying to take me out while Kenya and I have been friends? I don’t believe that.” After sending the said text messages to both Andy and Cynthia, Porsha called Kenya a “fake friend” with “fake receipts.”

    'Deadpool' Creator Slams Marvel for Third Movie Delay

    20th Century Fox

    Blaming the studio for the uncertain green light for ‘Deadpool 3’, comic book writer Rob Liefeld says in a new interview, ‘They are the reason it isn’t happening.’
    May 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Following Disney’s 2019 acquisition of 20th Century Fox, “Deadpool” is now part of the expanded Marvel Cinematic Universe. But Rob Liefeld, the creator of the Merc with the Mouth, isn’t too happy with the way the studio is handling the movie franchise of his anti-hero character.
    Despite the success of “Deadpool 2”, the third movie hasn’t got an official green light yet, meaning “Deadpool 3” is not going to come anytime soon. As eager as fans who have been looking forward to a new installment of the Ryan Reynolds-led film series, Liefeld is blaming Marvel for the third movie delay.
    Liefeld expresses his upset at the studio during an interview with ComicBook.com’s “Talking Shop”. “I blame Marvel…blame Marvel that that hasn’t happened yet,” he says. “They are the reason it isn’t happening. Whatever conundrum or it didn’t fit into your master plan, just commission it. Okay, commission it. You know if Frank Frazetta was still around, you would say, ‘Frank paint for me.’ ”
    Thinking that Reynolds should have the power to the threequel as he wishes, Liefeld adds, “If Ryan is making ‘Deadpool 3’ right now, that’s because Marvel hasn’t allowed it to be yet and that’s all I’m saying. So, do I have a lot of faith in that system? Dude, I have no idea. So this is where I’m not that, I’m not giving you the answers you want. I’m like yeah, yeah. Look if it happens, terrific.”
    Further expressing his skepticism that “Deadpool 3” will be coming soon considering Marvel’s already packed schedule for the next three years, the comic book writer says, “How old am I gonna be when that happens?” He goes on sharing, “And literally I used to be like, yeah, Mark Ruffalo, Hulk and Deadpool would make for a funny movie right? But, none of these guys are getting younger, right okay?”
    Despite no official green light for “Deadpool 3” just yet, Reynolds has been brewing ideas for the third movie. “We’re working on it right now with the whole team,” Reynolds said on “Live with Kelly and Ryan” back in December.
    Unlike Liefeld, the Canadian hunk was seemingly excited about the fact that Deadpool is now part of MCU. “We’re over at Marvel, which is the big leagues all of a sudden,” he gushingly said. “It’s kind of crazy.”

    Ariana Grande's Brother Channels Joe Exotic in Wild 'Tiger King' Musical

    Frankie Grande delivers ‘Husband Number 2’ as he joins the online ‘Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness’ musical created by Broadway writer/producer Andrew Lippa.
    May 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Frankie Grande is the latest star to join in the online “Tiger King: The Musical (A Parody)” craze.
    Ariana Grande’s brother Frankie lent vocals to the project, created by Andrew Lippa – who previously created Broadway shows including “The Addams Family” and “Big Fish”.
    His new concept is focused on the story of Joe Exotic, the star of “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” who ran a popular illegal zoo in Oklahoma and was sentenced to 22 years in jail for plotting to kill animal rights activist Carole Baskin and other wildlife violations.
    In the latest tune, “Husband Number 2”, Frankie takes on the role of Joe’s late husband Travis Maldonado, donning terrible fake tattoos and a goatee for the tongue-in-cheek clip.
    Frankie plays Travis, as well as Joe – and husband number one, the shirtless John Finlay, belting out hilarious lines, including, “I wasn’t gay but didn’t care / you were a famous millionaire / and so / I said I’d take it.”
    Also featured is a stuffed tiger and, at the end of the clip, Frankie appears as Carole Baskin – who became a hit with fans amid conspiracy theories she murdered her late husband and fed him to tigers.

    He’s not the first star to join the production – Kristin Chenoweth previously played Carole, complete with cat ears, “Beanie Babies”, and the Netflix star’s “Hey all you cool cats and kittens” catchphrase.

    Vivica A. Fox Calls Liam Hemsworth 'Very Giving' Scene Partner

    WENN

    The ‘Empire’ actress heaps praise on her ‘Independence Day’ co-star and describes him as a ‘very giving’ scene partner following their onscreen reunion in ‘Arkansas’.
    May 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Actress Vivica A. Fox couldn’t wait to get to work with Liam Hemsworth on new movie “Arkansas” – four years after they first collaborated.
    The pair appeared onscreen together in “Independence Day” back in 2016 and, speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Vivica gushed he “just becomes more of a grown man” every time she sees him.
    “I was so thrilled when I got cast. I was fortunate that I did not have to audition, I got a call from my agent and she said, ‘There is this great new film called Arkansas and it’s got Liam Hemsworth and Vince Vaughn,’ and that’s all she had to say as far as I was concerned,” she laughed.
    “It was good to see him again. And work with him again. And I tell you, every time I see him he just becomes more of a grown man. He really does,” the “Empire” star added. “When we did Independence Day, he kinda had that young heartthrob thing still hanging on from The Hunger Games but baby in Arkansas, Liam Hemsworth is dark, mysterious, and dangerous.”
    According to Vivica, one of the best parts of working alongside the “charming and wonderful” actor is how he never came to set with a big ego, and was a “very giving” scene partner.
    “Arkansas” was originally supposed to premiere at the South By Southwest Film Festival in March 2020, but the festival was cancelled amid the coronavirus crisis. The movie, also starring John Malkovich, Michael Kenneth Williams, and Brad William Henke, is available now on DVD, Blu-ray, and digital streaming services.

    AceShowbiz – Actor Matthew Bomer and his “White Collar” co-stars are all “really optimistic and hopeful” producers can find a way to revive the crime drama series for a TV return.
    Bomer reconnected with a number of his old castmates, including Tim DeKay, Hilarie Burton, Willie Garson and Tiffani Thiessen, as well as creator Jeff Eastin, on Thursday night (May 07) as part of the “Stars in the House” livestreaming series.

    A day before the charity event, Bomer and Eastin had told Twitter fans they had “a plan” to get the gang back together for another run, and on Thursday, the actor confirmed talks with TV bosses are underway, although discussions are still in the early stages.
    “There is nothing I would want (more) than to be on a set with this group of people again,” explained Bomer during the “Stars in the House” chat. “There are real conversations happening. There seems to be a lot of excitement about it.”
    However, he admitted it was unclear what format a potential revival would take. “What form that takes and how it plays out and whether all the creatives involved can work it out and make it happen is yet to be seen,” he shared. “But we’re all really optimistic and hopeful.”
    Bomer led the cast of “White Collar” as reformed conman Neal Caffrey, who is recruited to work with the FBI.
