    WENN

    Because of the travel restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the former Destiny’s Child member and the ‘Everything I Own’ singer will be moved into the role of mentors.
    May 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Kelly Rowland and Boy George will reportedly be temporarily replaced on “The Voice Australia” during the COVID-19 crisis.
    The new season of the popular TV singing contest is set to premiere on 24 May and, according to NW magazine, the program’s two international coaches will be temporarily replaced by local stars due to travel restrictions.
    The pair, who have appeared on the show since 2017, will apparently be replaced as judges temporarily by Jessica Mauboy and Conrad Sewell – although the former Destiny’s Child star and Culture Club frontman have apparently been remotely checking in on contestants from their respective homes.

    “(They) will move into a mentor role from the U.S. and U.K. on Zoom,” a source explained, suggesting they’ll use the video conference app to engage with participants.

    Singers Delta Goodrem and Guy Sebastian will both return as coaches, while the show will welcome two new hosts – Darren McMullen and Renee Bargh – who will take over from Sonia Kruger as she prepares to front the forthcoming revamped season of “Big Brother” on the local Channel Seven.

    May 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart” returned with a new episode on Monday, May 4. In this episode, the remaining six couples would be paired with someone from another couple to test their relationships.
    Julia and Brandon were the ones who went on a date. They visited The Roxy, where they wrote a song together. The two bounded at the beginning of the season before Brandon eventually picked Savannah. Them going on a date together understandably made Savannah and Julia’s partner Sheridan worried.
    Later during their date, Julia and Brandon performed the song they wrote beforehand. They felt the chemistry between them growing up as they locked lips. Julia was convinced with her feelings for him and when she returned to the house, she told Sheridan about it. He was upset but he was left with no choice other than leaving the show. Savannah also left after a heartbreaking conversation with Brandon.
    Chris & Rudi and Jamie & Ryan then went on dates. Chris, whose partner was Bri, had a nice date with Rudi but there were no sparks between them. As for Jamie and Ryan, they went to enjoy a spa day as friends.
    Later, the remaining five couples performed in front of the celebrity judges including Rachel Lindsay, Bryan Abasolo, Andy Grammer and Toni Braxton. Before that, Natascha caused a drama between Brandon and Julia by telling Julia that Brandon would have stayed with Savannah if she didn’t leave.
    The first couple to perform was Rudi and Matt, who sang “Tennessee Whiskey” by Chris Stapleton. The two earned praises for their vocals and chemistry. Following it up were Jamie and Trevor who performed “Like I’m Gonna Lose You” by Meghan Trainor and John Legend. The judges noted that Jamie looked nervous while Trevor didn’t seem to be as passionate as Jamie throughout the performance.
    Chris and Bri then performed “Lover” by Taylor Swift. They showcased strong chemistry which earned them praises from the judges. At the end of their performance, Bri confessed to Chris, who told her that he felt the same.
    Julia and Brandon then hit the stage to sing Pat Benatar’s “We Belong”. Following the drama, they looked “disjointed” during the performance with Toni saying that she could feel the tension between them. The last performers were Natascha and Ryan, who opted to sing Ray LaMontagne’s “You Are the Best Thing”. The judges loved it.
    Julia then lashed out at Natascha, accusing her of being “vindictive and dirty” for choosing to tell Julia about Savannah right before the performance. Natascha apologized to Julia.
    At the rose ceremony, Chris and Bri were revealed to be safe. Joining them were Matt & Rudi, Natascha & Ryan and Jamie & Trevor. That meant Brandon and Julia were sent home.

    Report: Rihanna's New Documentary to Expose Her Fallout With Jay-Z and Beyonce

    Instagram/https://www.beyonce.com/

    Titled ‘Rihanna: Volume One’, the upcoming documentary, which is directed by Peter Berg, will allegedly chronicle her problem with her manager at Roc Nation and Jay-Z, as well as her breakup from Hassan Jameel.
    May 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – A new Rihanna documentary is on the way. Reports about the project titled “Rihanna: Volume One” surfaced over the weekend after production company Film 45 accidentally leaked about it on its website.
    In a screenshot taken and shared by a fan Twitter account, the company posted a photo of the Barbadian songstress singing in the studio along with a tagline which read, “Coming soon: An inside look at the personal and professional life of Rihanna.”
    According to the tweet, the documentary will be directed by Peter Berg, who directed Rih in 2012’s “Battleship”, for Amazon Video. The Twitter user also included a now-broken link to Film 45’s website, which provided detailed synopsis of the project.
    The synopsis reportedly read, “Peter Berg’s bold and innovative ‘Rihanna’ is an unfiltered look into Rihanna’s life, providing a glimpse into the evolution of one of the world’s most well-known pop artists. With unparalleled access into the singer’s life and over 1200 hours of footage, the doc takes us on a journey through private insights into Rihanna’s personality and humor, philosophies on work, family and love that are both moving and inspirational.”
    Per The Hollywood Reporter, “Rihanna: Volume One” compiles various footage Berg captured while traveling alongside the “Diamonds” hitmaker in Europe. Amazon reportedly paid $25 to acquire rights to the documentary.
    Meanwhile, according to MTO News, the documentary would be an explosive one, with the 32-year-old R&B superstar airing out her alleged feud with Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles. According to the site’s source, Rih had a fallout with the famous couple after her album “Anti” leaked prematurely, which she blamed on Jay-Z’s streaming platform Tidal.
    The hip-hop mogul and Tidal had explained that the leak was due to “system error,” but the “Umbrella” songstress allegedly accused the rapper of leaking her album behind her back to prop up his wife Beyonce’s album “Formation”.
    The site adds that the upcoming documentary will also focus on Rih’s strained relationship with her father and detail her relationship and eventual breakup with Saudi billionaire Hassan Jameel.

    'Wonder Woman' Director Going to Try Really Hard Not to Direct Spin-Off

    WENN/Adriana M. Barraza

    When expressing hopes to steer clear from the upcoming Amazon Prime film, director Patty Jenkins admits that ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ has left her feeling creatively depleted.
    May 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Director Patty Jenkins has no interest in directing an upcoming spin-off of her record-breaking “Wonder Woman” film.
    The filmmaker recently won a pitch for another adaptation of the DC Comics superheroine’s story to stream exclusively on Amazon Prime, but she is hoping she won’t be asked to direct the project.
    “I’m not going to direct (the Amazon film) hopefully,” she tells Total Film magazine. “I’m going to try really hard not to. It’s not going to be easy.”
    “But (comic book writer) Geoff Johns and I came up with the story and we sold the pitch, and we’re going to get it going. I’ll produce it, for sure.”
    Patty, who made history as the first woman to direct a big budget superhero film with “Wonder Woman”, starring Gal Gadot, admits she feels creatively depleted after wrapping up the sequel, “Wonder Woman 1984″.
    ”I’m not going to nail down a fresh thought about it (the Amazon Prime spin-off) until this movie (‘Wonder Woman 1984’) comes out, because I kind of want to give myself a palate cleanser, and be fresh of mind,” she shares.
    “Wonder Woman 1984”, starring Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal and Robin Wright Penn, is scheduled for release this summer.

    Jeffrey Dean Morgan Teases Possibility of Mini-Movie for 'The Walking Dead'

    Instagram

    Production on season 10 of the hit series has been axed because of the coronavirus crisis, but the actor playing Negan could not help but be excited for the upcoming special episode.
    May 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jeffrey Dean Morgan hinted “The Walking Dead”‘s upcoming “special” episode could be more like a mini-movie, after production on season 10 of the show was axed due to the coronavirus crisis.
    Nothing has been filmed for the new series as yet, and now there’s a “special” episode planned for later in the year – which Jeffrey told Entertainment Weekly could be more like a one-off feature.
    “It will be cool having a one off, almost a Walking Dead movie in the middle of the season, I guess,” he mused. “So we’re excited about that aspect of it.”
    He added that the season finale has to have “some sort of a resolution… whether that carries over to next season, I’ll leave that open, because who knows?.”
    “But we know (Jeffrey’s character Negan is) coming to wipe everybody out with his zombie horde so hopefully we’ll see that come to a head at some point,” he continued. “There has to be some sort of battle. Greg Nicotero directed it, so it’s going to be a big massive episode for sure.”
    Jeffrey and wife Hilarie Burton are working on their own talk show while in lockdown together. The weekly half-hour Friday Night In with the Morgans airs Fridays at 10 pm in the U.S.

    Leslie Jordan Recalls Lady GaGa 'Riding' Him on 'American Horror Story: Roanoke' Set

    FX

    During his Instagram series ‘Pillow Talk’, the regular cast on the ‘AHS’ series franchise opens up about his first impression of the ‘Born This Way’ hitmaker and his experience working with her.
    May 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Leslie Jordan shared a hilarious memory about working with Lady GaGa on “American Horror Story: Roanoke” during his Instagram series “Pillow Talk”.
    During a new episode of his show, the 65-year-old actor recalled filming a scene with the 34-year-old hitmaker, when the two worked together on Ryan Murphy’s hit FX series.
    “I can tell when I meet you, within three minutes, how you were raised. When I met Lady Gaga on the American Horror set… beautifully brought up,” he shared. “‘Please, thank you.’ Lovely girl.”
    However, the star went on to explain GaGa’s interesting approach to acting, which came to light when they rehearsed a scene in which her character murders his.
    “We had a scene where she was gonna blow fairy dust in my face, and then knock me down, and blind me, chase me, and then roll me over, kick me,” Leslie explained. “And then she was supposed to squat down on me and cut me with a knife.”
    He continued: “She took me in the woods right before we shot,” and she said, “You know, I tend to sexualise all my acting partners”. I thought, “Where’s this going?.”
    “Well honey, she kicked me, rolled me over, and got down on me and started riding me… I didn’t know what I was supposed to do! I just laid there and thought, ‘How do I get myself into these situations?’.”
