    'RHOA': NeNe Leakes Abruptly Walks Off After Screaming Match in Reunion Teaser

    Bravo TV

    This arrives after the Bravo personality previously weighed in on the matter in a new YouTube video in which she calmly confirms, ‘Yes I walked off. Yes I walked off.’
    May 2, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” has released a teaser for its upcoming season 12 virtual reunion which will kick off on Sunday, May 10. Due to Coronavirus pandemic, the cast members film from their own home for the reunion. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the reunion will be lacking of drama.
    The video sees Kenya Moore and Marlo Hampton arguing as Kenya interrogates Marlo while other ladies are shocked. “When have you ever had a man on this show, other than the one you and NeNe were f***ing at the same time?” Kenya asks Marlo.
    Porsha Williams, meanwhile, has a tensed moment with Eva Marcille as the former accuses the latter of shading her baby daughter, PJ. “First of all, I will never forgive you for ever speaking on my child,” Porsha yells as she leans into the camera. “Do you see me? Do you hear what I am saying?”
    “I never spoke on your child,” Eva responds, Porsha fires back, “Yes, the f*** you did.” Kandi Burruss] also goes off on NeNe Leakes, saying, I’m embedded in your motherf***ing brain, b***h. And you’re gonna keep knowing me.”
    NeNe is not having any of it. She stands up and yells, “Bye!” before abruptly shutting down her video. That confuses the other Housewives as Cynthia Bailey states that she can no longer see NeNe.
    Meanwhile, host Andy Cohen calmly sips on his cup of coffee while watching the drama unfolds.

    NeNe previously addressed the matter in a new YouTube video in which she calmly confirmed, “Yes I walked off. Yes I walked off.” Insisting that she “didn’t regret a thing,” NeNe continued saying, “I would do it again, and again, and again. Lots of things I do, I don’t always regret them because everything is a lesson to me. Also I’m the kind of person that act on how I feel and I’m true to who I am. I always want to be very true to who I am. I’ve never been thirsty.”
    According to reports, NeNe decided to walk off the filming after her former friend Yovanna Momplaisir spilled the tea against her about the infamous “SnakeGate” in which Yovanna was said to be having an audio recording of Cynthia Bailey allegedly badmouthing her co-star NeNe during an interview. However, during the taping, which took place on April 23, Yovanna confessed that she never actually had the file.
    Additionally, Yovanna said it was all a ploy NeNe made to create a storyline. She allegedly mentioned that she decided to go along with her friend’s plan because she thought it would help her become a full-time member instead of a friend.

    'No Time to Die' Unlikely to Get On-Demand Release, to Wait Until Cinemas Reopen

    Universal Pictures

    The latest James Bond film starring Daniel Craig has been pushed back from its Mar 16 release to November due to the coronavirus crisis, but might get further delay.
    May 2, 2020
    AceShowbiz – James Bond producers aren’t prepared to launch new movie “No Time to Die” until theatres reopen amid the coronavirus crisis.
    The film, starring Daniel Craig, was supposed to hit cinemas on 16 May, but producers opted to stall the release due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
    It is now scheduled to be released in November, but according to Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper the movie won’t reach audiences until movie theaters reopen – with bosses apparently refusing to consider an on-demand release.
    “If it has to wait till next year then so be it,” said a source close to the production. “There are hundreds of millions of dollars involved here. Release it when audiences feel safe to return. But it’s a nerve-racking call.”
    “No Time to Die” is set to be Craig’s final movie as 007, after playing Ian Fleming’s beloved secret agent in “Casino Royale”, “Quantum of Solace”, “Skyfall” and “Spectre”.

    Kenya Barris Responds to Colorism Backlash on '#BlackAF': I'm Trying to 'Duplicate' My Family

    Instagram

    The 45-year-old also talks about his divorce from wife Dr. Raina ‘Rainbow’ Edwards-Barris during his appearance on T.I.’s podcast, saying how the divorce process is just ‘part of life.’
    May 2, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Kenya Barris is aware of criticism towards his new Netflix series “#BlackAF”. During his recent appearance on T.I.’s podcast “expediTIously”, the 45-year-old addressed the backlash which stemmed from most people thinking that the cast of the show is too light-skinned despite the title.
    “This is based on my family. She’s playing a version of my wife whose bi-racial. My wife is bi-racial, she’s playing a version of that character,” he said during the interview. “My kids, what Rashida and I could produce, looks like those kids, who are amazing. And so I feel like, you know I think the sometimes we just need to, like I talked about like informing ourselves more.”
    “I think everyone’s experience and opinion in terms of, you know colorism are real, and I understand that. But if you just dug a little bit under the surface, you would understand that this is based upon, biographical, this was based on my family, and I was trying to duplicate a version of what my family was,” he went on saying. “I think that would have calmed a lot of the natives, you know what I’m saying but at the same time, it’s important that it didn’t, cause’ it speaks to the ideas that there is so much colorsm in the world, and it shows important this is to people so I take the good with bad. The ignorance I have a little bit of a problem with. But I take opinions good with the bad, because if you listen to any of them you gotta listen to all of them.”
    He also talked about his ongoing divorce process with his wife Dr. Raina “Rainbow” Edwards-Barris, saying that “it is part of life.” Kenya shared, “If you look at sitcoms and our stories, we’re supposed to be okay. But 52% of marriages don’t work. And the notion of understanding–We didn’t know about therapy or really understand it. We didn’t know about really having the church or other married friends that would have given us the skeleton to make it in another sort of way.”
    Kenya also talked about how his divorce was announced on his birthday. “Somehow, some f***ed up way, it got announced on my birthday I didn’t file on my birthday but it got announced on my birthday. I don’t know that people care about me getting divorced. I’m not anybody, especially at that point. And all of a sudden it’s in the papers as I’m getting off the plane coming from Atlanta,” he explained.
    “I have my wife calling me. I have my daughter who’s a sophomore at USC calling me. I have my daughter, who’s a senior in high school, calling me because her friends are talking about it,” he said. “I’m just not used to…it’s a different world than I ever expected and I’m trying to experience it with the audience in real time. This is all happening to me as it’s happening on air.”

    'Crazy Rich Asians' Director Jon M. Chu Sends Warning to Casting Scammer: 'We Will Bite Back!!'

    WENN/Avalon

    The ‘I the Heights’ helmer is disgusted by the casting scam for the sequels of the 2018 hit film, calling it a ‘direct attack’ to Asian American actors pursuing ‘this dream that they never thought was possible before.’
    May 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jon M. Chu is sending a stern warning to those who attempt to scam Asian American actors hoping to land parts in the upcoming sequels to his 2018 film “Crazy Rich Asians”. The director has hit hack at a Twitter user who posted a fake casting call for “China Rich Girlfriend” and “Rich People Problems”.
    Taking to the blue bird application, Chu wrote on Thursday, April 30, “Advice for actors out there: if ANYONE ever asks you to PAY MONEY to audition it’s a scam.” He added to the scammer, “Also don’t mess with Asian actors during our surge or we will bite back!!”

    Jon M. Chu responds to ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ sequels casting scam.
    Chu’s tweet was in response to a fake casting call posted by a user named Alan Baltes, who falsely claimed that the supposed “Crazy Rich Asians” sequels opened “live Zoom auditions” for “new lead roles” in the upcoming movies.
    The fake casting notice said that the movies were looking for Asian actors, ages 20s through 40s, for the lead roles, and a Caucasian female between ages 25-35 for another part. The post asked that talent who wanted to be considered pay Baltes a $99 “submission fee” via Google Pay or Venmo.
    Chu, who was alerted about the notice when he was tagged in a tweet, said he subsequently notified Twitter and flagged Warner Bros.’ legal department. After posting his own reaction, the 40-year-old helmer said he was promptly blocked by Baltes on Twitter.
    Speaking to Variety, Chu said he was appalled by the attempt to scam acting hopefuls. “I kept reading it, and when it said ’99 dollars,’ I was like, ‘This is f***ed up,’ ” he recalled. “There’s so many scams like that in L.A. anyway and to actually target, specifically, Asian actors, was very frustrating.”
    “Asian American actors finally get the opportunity or the hope that there are roles and parts out there. People have this light inside of them to pursue this dream that they never thought was possible before, and to take advantage of that and know that you can take $99 for a fake audition is just disgusting,” he expressed his dismay.
    “To put on top of that this time, when we’re being othered and we’re being attacked on the streets, is even more disgusting,” Chu, who has worked on upcoming musical drama “In the Heights”, added.
    Baltes’ Twitter account has since been deactivated. He said in an email to Variety that he posted the fake casting call after “someone sent me the information and was misrepresenting himself as being with casting. The person is no longer in contact with me after I inquired further. They were attempting to get me to send them money for casting calls.”
    Baltes, who claims to be an actor, casting associate and talent agent, also said that no money had been paid in regards to the fake casting call. When asked who had supplied him with “false information,” he replied, “I no longer have the information as it was on my Twitter and my account was deleted.”
    This is not the first time though that Baltes has been linked to an attempt to solicit money for “submitting” talent for auditions in big movies. In 2018, Twitter users notified director Colin Trevorrow over a similar casting notice for a “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” sequel, which is now called “Jurassic World: Dominion”, where Baltes asked for a $99 audition fee. Trevorrow said at the time, “Anyone who requests money for an audition isn’t on the level.”
    As for the pre-production of “Crazy Rich Asians” sequels, Chu said, “We’re so far from it. We don’t have a casting director. We have never said, ‘Hey, let’s look at people who are out there.’ We’ve done zero.” He added, “We don’t even have a script.”

    David Arquette Plans to Start 'Ghosts of the Ozarks' Filming in Arkansas Amid COVID-19 Lockdown

    Instagram

    The ‘Scream’ star and his wife Christina McLarty are considering to keep the cast and crew away from the public on a former cotton factory that has been converted into a working set.
    May 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – David Arquette and his wife are making plans to start production on their latest film in Arkansas, despite the fact most of America is still on lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
    The movie star and Christina McLarty Arquette want to get going on their period thriller “Ghosts of the Ozarks” at some point in May, and they are mulling over ideas to keep the cast, featuring Tim Blake Nelson, and crew safe while filming.
    The Arquettes tell Deadline the plan is to test everyone before filming begins and then keep the cast and crew away from members of the public on a former cotton factory in Trumann, Arkansas, which has already been converted into a working set, production center and trailer park.
    “It’s such a vast amount of space, we can build it so everyone can social distance,” McLarty Arquette tells the outlet.
    David adds, “We have everything in line; we have the ability to be able to still produce things with a reasonable expectation of social distancing, take everybody’s temperature and we have flexibility with quarantining people before they get there.”
    The couple has been buoyed by the fact Arkansas is one of the states least hit by the coronavirus, with just over 3,000 cases and 57 deaths, and the state Governor, Asa Hutchinson, is expected to announce plans to allow some businesses to re-open following March’s shutdown.
    “Obviously, we’re monitoring the daily situation and following all of the local, state and national mandates,” McLarty Arquette states. “We want to remain optimistic but respectful of what’s going on in the world. We’re playing it day-by-day. We’re having lots of conversations about how we adapt to this new world that we live in as filmmakers.”
    “It’s not a large production and a lot of people are local that we hire, which helps. Things change every day but we’re all just trying to be hopeful, and at the same time, respectful.”
    The former news anchor, who was born in Hope, Arkansas, adds, “The best thing about shooting in Arkansas is that it’s new to the state. The film commissioner is great and the Governor is very supportive… It’s a beautiful state and a really supportive community.”

    Ozzy Osbourne Had to Be Persuaded by Son to Open Up About Parkinson's in New Documentary

    A&E Network

    A producer on ‘The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne’, Jack Osbourne spills why the former Black Sabbath frontman and his wife Sharon were reluctant to share his health battle with the world.
    May 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jack Osbourne had to convince his father Ozzy Osbourne and mother Sharon Osbourne to chronicle the rocker’s Parkinson’s disease battle in his new documentary to avoid “lying” to fans.
    The former Black Sabbath frontman gets candid about his long struggle with substance abuse, trouble with the law, and marital issues with his manager wife Sharon in “The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne” – but one thing the singer wasn’t ready to open up about was his most recent health diagnosis.
    Jack, who serves as a producer on the film, reveals his parents were reluctant to go public with the health news on camera, despite learning he was suffering from the progressive neurological condition in early 2019, while the project was in the midst of production.
    “I had to kind of persuade both my dad and mum,” he tells Variety. “I was like, ‘We would be doing this film an injustice to not do this. This is a monumental moment in your life and in your career… To ignore that, then we should not even be doing this doc because we’d be lying to your fans’.”
    Ozzy and Sharon eventually realised he was right and agreed to open up on camera, but Jack understands why they initially hesitated, because the diagnosis “shook” them all to their core.
    Explaining why he was so emotional during one particular appearance in “The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne”, Jack says, “When we did that interview, we didn’t know if my dad was ever going to be able to perform again. With that comes a lot of fear because it’s like a racehorse when they can’t race anymore: They give up. That’s the fear I had.”
    However, with the help of radical treatment from a doctor in Switzerland, Ozzy, 71, has been able to press on with his life and career, releasing “Ordinary Man”, his first solo studio album in 10 years, in February.
    “Now, since doing that interview, my dad went and did another album. It was one of his most successful albums to date,” Jack shares of Ordinary Man. “He’s going back in the studio when this coronavirus bulls**t dies down.”
    “But there was a time of huge uncertainty, which really kind of shook the foundation of the whole family.”
    “The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne”, directed by Greg Johnston, had initially been due to premiere at the axed South by Southwest festival in Austin Texas in March, but will now debut on America’s A&E network this summer.
