    As for Khloe Kardashian and True Thompson, they spend time by having dancing session indoor. Meanwhile, Scott Disick admits that he’s going to “stir crazy” amid self-isolation.
    The teaser also sees them getting emotional for being apart. “I wish I could hug you,” Kris tells Khloe during a call while breaking down in tears. The famous clan also discusses whether or not Khloe and Tristan Thompson, who are quarantining together, have slept together again. “Oh, 100 percent,” Kim insists, to which Scott replies, “That’s what I said! She says no.”
    Elsewhere in the teaser, Scott and Kourtney Kardashian talk about how she seems “disconnected” with Khloe. There is also tension between Kendall Jenner and her mom’s boyfriend Corey Gamble, who tells her on the phone, “Kendall, man, don’t tell me to shut up. I’m trying to help you.” Kim also can be seen yelling, “Something’s wrong with Kendall, turn around!” when she’s in the car with Khloe, Kourtney and Kris.

    Chris Pratt Offers Roles in New 'Jurassic' Movie for Coronavirus Charity

    Universal Pictures

    Fans are given the chance to be eaten by a dinosaur in the upcoming ‘Jurassic World’ movie in exchange for donations to Covid-19 relief efforts amid the ongoing pandemic.
    May 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Chris Pratt is offering two lucky movie fans the chance to be eaten by a dinosaur in the next “Jurassic World” film.
    The Hollywood star is the latest celebrity to take part in the All-In Challenge project, for which stars offer amazing prizes in exchange for donations to coronavirus relief efforts.
    After being challenged to take part by Justin Bieber, Chris went the extra mile and offered two “recognisable” roles as a dinosaur’s lunch in the upcoming “Jurassic World: Dominion”.
    The “Parks and Recreation” star said in a video that it had taken him two weeks “pulling all the strings necessary” to convince studio Universal Pictures chiefs to agree to the challenge.
    He added, “You are guaranteed to be recognisable, not cut out the movie, absolutely in the movie forever, cemented, your legacy, forever, eaten by a dinosaur in a movie.”
    However, a listing on the All-In Challenge website states there is no guarantee, “that such appearance will be included in the final production or that the production will be released at all.”
    There are two chances on offer, one via sweepstake costing $10 to enter and another going to the highest bidder.
    All money raised will go to charities Meals On Wheels, No Kid Hungry, and America’s Food Fund, helping to provide meals to those going hungry during the Covid-19 pandemic.
    After announcing the prize, Chris then challenged three of his “Avengers: Endgame” co-stars, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, and Robert Downey Jr. to take part and offer their own rewards to donors.

    Fans Losing It After 'Jeopardy!' Contestant Mistakes Janet Jackson for Ariana Grande

    WENN

    People on the Internet are laughing out loud over contestant Alwin Hui’s epic fail to recognize the recipient of the 2018 Icon Award in an April 29 episode of the game show.
    May 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Having a music career that has spanned over four decades and eleven studio albums apparently doesn’t make Janet Jackson a household name to all Americans. At least, she’s not to a “Jeopardy!” contestant, who has successfully made viewers erupt into laughter with his epic fail to recognize the R&B super star.
    In a Wednesday, April 29 episode of the long-running game show, for a question in the Music Awards category, contestants were given this clue, “As the recipient of the 2018 Icon Award, she took ‘Control’ and took to the stage in her first live TV performance in nearly a decade,” as the screen showed the “Together Again” singer’s performance at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards.
    Alwin Hui, one of the contestants, without a beat rang in with his answer, “Who is Ariana Grande?” before another competitor correctly answered Janet. Alwin’s wrong answer sent Twitter abuzz with their confusion over how he could mistake the music icon with the much-younger singer.

    “What a FAIL [laughing emoji] Really my guy got Ariana Grande & Janet Jackson mixed you on Jeopardy,” one person reacted on the blue bird application. Another confused viewer wrote, “First live performance in nearly a decade’ he thought miss grande was old lmfaoooo.” Ariana was only 24 years old in 2018, which would make her 14 years old during her supposed last live televised performance.
    Someone suggested that Janet’s long, high ponytail in the photo confused Alwin as Ariana is also known for the signature hairstyle. “The pony really threw him off,” the fan tweeted along with a crying emoji. Another speculated, “I guess the dress and boots are also very Ari-esque. Plus he doesn’t seem like he’d know who Janet Jackson is,” while someone else added, “Absolutely unforgivable lmfao.”
    This is not the only epic fail that was seen on “Jeopardy!” this week. In a Monday episode of the show, Sarah Jett Rayburn mistook Zulu warrior leader Shaka Zulu for singer Chaka Khan. Interestingly, two days later Sarah correctly answered Janet on the show.
    Weighing in on the double mix-up, pop-culture writer Bradley Stern pointed out that two egregious mistakes in one week meant “our nation’s nerds” needed to study up on their music herstory. Seemingly agreeing, one person tweeted, “Jeopardy has been disrespecting the legends this week.”

    Netflix

    After the 10-episode Netflix series ended with a cliffhanger, showrunner Jonas Pate expresses his excitement to explore ‘a lot more good twists and turns’ should he gets green light for more seasons.
    Apr 30, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The brains behind hit Netflix series “Outer Banks” has assured fans there’s more to come following the season one cliffhanger.
    Creator and showrunner Jonas Pate tells EW.com he has plans to make the show a five-season run, and he’s just waiting to get the OK from bosses at the streaming site.
    “Ever since we started, we always viewed it as something that was probably, like, a four-season, maybe five-season show, but definitely four seasons. We’ve sort of long-arced it out pretty far. I’m just hoping that we get a chance to actually tell those stories.”
    The 10-episode drama follows the fortunes of four friends searching North Carolina’s “Outer Banks” for the wreckage of the Royal Merchant ship, which sunk with gold on board. It stars Chase Stokes, Madison Bailey, Rudy Pankow and Jonathan Daviss as the pals, with Madelyn Cline playing love interest Sarah Cameron.
    “We love the mashup of friends on this fantasy thrilling adventure, and we feel like we really just played the opening round of that story,” Pate adds. “And now that the audience knows our characters and the baseline engine of the mystery is going, we just feel like we have a lot more good twists and turns left to explore, so we’re excited for more.”
