    Report: MTV Wants to Make Tory Lanez's 'Quarantine Radio' a TV Show

    Instagram

    This arrives after Instagram blocked the Instagram Live series for a few days as its honcho explained, ‘you can’t have nudity on Instagram. That’s part of our community guidelines, it’s part of the rules.’
    Apr 29, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Tory Lanez’s popular Instagram Live series “Quarantine Radio” may be coming to the small screen. The “Chixtape 5” rapper revealed in a new interview with Billboard that MTV approached him to offer him a deal for the show.
    “MTV offered me something like a little 30-minute segment, but I don’t know what I want to do,” he shared. “But I want it to be something that the fans decide. If I end up coming up with an idea for it, hopefully, it’ll be on MTV.”
    “Quarantine Radio” is indeed a huge success as it brings entertainment for everyone amid Coronavirus lockdown. It garnered so much attention as his 5-min interview with Drake pulled in 300K users tuning in at the same time. In addition to interviews, the Instagram Live show features twerk sessions, contests and celebrity cameos.
    Despite the success, Tory was forced to take a break from it after Instagram blocked her show earlier this month. Speaking to The Shade Room in an Instagram Live interview, head of Instagram Adam Mosseri shared on Wednesday, April 8, ” ‘Quarantine Radio’ is great, so shout out to Tory Lanez for that.” He continued, “The lives have been great, the lives with the fans have been great.”
    In the comment section, the Canadian rapper chimed in, “I JUST WANNA BE FREE ADAM.” Adam didn’t seem to notice as he went on explaining, “But you can’t have nudity on Instagram. That’s part of our community guidelines, it’s part of the rules and we can’t make exceptions.”
    “And on a couple of those lives, on two accounts, there was nudity so we had to stop the live. There’s a short period of time where you can’t go live again. We have to stick to the rules otherwise why do we have them?” he continued. “But generally, big fan of Tory Lanez, big fan of Quarantine Radio. I hope it comes back soon, but no nudity! We can’t have that.”
    Tory wasn’t satisfied with the answer. “THAT’S CAP,” he alleged in another comment. “Cmooooooon MAAAAAYNE.”
    Tory shared on Tuesday, April 7 a screenshot of warning that he reveiced from the photo-sharing site when he was about to go on Instagram Live. “Based on previous use of this feature, your account has been temporarily blocked from taking this action. This block will expire on 2020-04-14. We restrict certain content and actions to protect our community. Tell us if you think we made a mistake,” read the warning.
    “350K I can’t go on right now they won’t let me. …. THEY DIDNT WANT ME TO WIN DAMN B,” so Tory captioned the snap. He added in the comment section, “THAT GUMMY BEAR WAS TOO MUCH I GUESS,” referring to a fan who deep-throated the world’s largest gummy bear on his previous Instagram Live.

    '90 Day Fiance' Star Jorge Nava Hopes for New Love After Anfisa Arkhipchenko Divorce

    TLC

    The TLC personality, who is currently serving two and a half-year sentence after being arrested for marijuana possession in 2018, also shares other things in his ‘priority list.’
    Apr 29, 2020
    AceShowbiz – His failed marriage to Anfisa Arkhipchenko doesn’t make “90 Day Fiance” star Jorge Nava lose hope for a new romance. The TV star, who is currently serving two and a half-year sentence after being arrested for marijuana possession in 2018, shared in a new interview that he wants to find love again after being released from prison.
    “One of the first things I had to deal with was leaving my family and leaving my relationship behind. That was hard. That was very difficult,” he said in an interview from prison during the Monday, April 27, episode of “90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined”. “The last time I saw Anfisa was the day before I got incarcerated. The night before I came to prison, we had an argument and things were not going well. I thought I was going to try to make things work, and they didn’t. That was it.”
    “Probably about two months after I was in prison, she basically told me that she couldn’t be with me anymore. She wishes I got 12 years in prison, basically trying to get rid of me,” the California native shared. “We still talked on the phone. I tried to work on the relationship no matter what. I tried.”
    Jorge, who is set to get out of the Arizona State Complex in Phoenix, Arizona, in 26 days, went on to say that he’s “open to looking for love again.” However, he added that “love is the least of my priority list.” He explained, “I just have to get my life together and make sure I’m good as a person before I’m able to give somebody else something.”
    “I ended up finding out through the internet that she was with somebody else. That definitely hurt. It really broke my heart,” he said. “The last time I spoke with Anfisa, she asked me if I knew already that she was with somebody else. I told her I did know and as soon as I get released from prison, I’m going to file for divorce. At least now, I’m stronger mentally. I’m stronger emotionally. I’ve gone through a lot of changes here in prison.”
    Jorge and Anfisa got married in season 4 of the TLC show. In a previous interview, the 31-year-old revealed that his drastic weight loss is what led to their decision to go separate ways. “I think she was just jealous of the attention that I was getting,” he alleged.
    “The news about my weight loss didn’t sit with her very well,” he continued. “That’s when she blocked my phone calls and I kind of was starting to lose contact with her,” he added, noting that his estranged wife waited until “the day after” he posted about his weight loss to say that “it was over.”

    'The Bachelor: LTYH' Recap: 7 Couples Show Off Talent and Chemistry in Musical Performances

    ABC

    In the new episode, the remaining couples are hitting the stage to perform in front of special guests, including ‘The Bachelorette’ alum JoJo Fletcher, Jordan Rodgers, Ke$ha and Jason Mraz.
    Apr 28, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “The Bachelor Present: Listen to Your Heart” returned with a new episode on Monday, April 27. In the new outing, the contestants were told that they would be performing for special guests, including “The Bachelorette” alum JoJo Fletcher, Jordan Rodgers, Ke$ha and Jason Mraz. The couples would be judged on their chemistry as well as their perfomance with the judges deciding who got to stay in the competition.
    In the episode, Julia confronted Brandon after he picked Savannah at the rose ceremony even though he previously told Julia that he wanted to be with her. Brandon explained to her that he knew Sheridan would give his rose to Julia so he wanted to give a chance to Savannah. He assured Julia that he still wanted to pursue their relationship. Meanwhile, Savannah was starting to doubt Brandon.
    Meanwhile, Gabe was interested in Savannah but unfortunately his feelings weren’t reciprocated. After she let him know about it, it meant Gabe was ready to go home. He told Ruby who later decided to exit the show together with him.
    Savannah later confronted Brandon about what Julia told her. He apologized for not conveying his real feelings earlier, telling her that he wanted to move forward with her. Julia was upset when she knew about it, but then she planned to focus on her and Sheridan’s relationship. With that, the remaining 7 couples were Savannah/Brandon, Julia/Sheridan, Bri/Chris, Jamie/Trevor, Matt/Rudi, Danny/Bekah and Ryan/Natascha.
    Savannah and Brandon grew stronger day by day and that was distracting Julia. She thought that they were faking their chemistry and even accused Savannah of being “disingenuous.” Feeling equally pissed at Julia, Savannah called her “catty and insecure” in confessional.
    Prior to the performances, Danny and Bekah went on a date during which they had a sexy photo shoot. Later, Natascha and Ryan met Chris Lane and his wife Lauren Bushnell. The couple joined Chris in a performance at his sold-out show.
    The night where the couples hit the stage to perform later arrived. First up were Matt and Rudi, who opted to sing Shawn Mendes’ “Falling All In You”. Following it up were Chris and Bri who performed a “beautiful” rendition of “Beyond” by Leon Bridges. Meanwhile, the judges saw Bekah and Danny, who sang “Ho Hey” by The Lumineers, as “just friends” rather than a couple after Bekah turned down his kiss at the end of their performance.
    Also not showing great chemistry was Savannah and Brandon, who took the stage to perform “I Want You to Want Me” by Cheap Trick. As for Julia and Sheridan, who sang “As Long as You Love Me” by the Backstreet Boys, the judges noted that the two had a sense of comfort and connection.
    Natascha and Ryan were unrivaled in terms of both talent and chemistry with their performance of Rihanna’s “Stay”. Concluding the night, Jamie and Trevor sang “I Could Use a Love Song” by Maren Morris.
    At the rose ceremony, every couple got a rose from the judges except for Danny and Bekah. That meant the two were eliminated.

    Heather Locklear to Reunite With 'Melrose Place' Cast for COVID-19 Benefit Special

    FOX

    The Amanda Woodward depicter will join Marcia Cross, Josie Bissett and more virtually as part of the ‘Stars in The House’ series to benefit actors affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
    Apr 28, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The cast of “Melrose Place” is set to reunite as part of the Stars in The House YouTube series to benefit actors affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
    Marcia Cross, Heather Locklear, Josie Bissett and more stars from the hit 1990s series will gather virtually on Tuesday, April 28, to discuss their time on the show.
    Viewers, who will be able to submit questions as part of the events, will be encouraged to donate to The Actors Fund’s relief efforts. The reunion will air live on YouTube on Tuesday at 8pm EST (https://www.youtube.com/theactor’sfund), just days after Locklear marked one year of sobriety in an emotional post on Instagram.
    The 58-year-old actress celebrated the milestone by sharing an inspirational quote from Maya Angelou, which began: “I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage and tangled Christmas tree lights.”
    Alongside the uplifting words, former “Melrose Place” actress Heather referenced the coronavirus pandemic and social distancing guidelines as she wrote: “Hugs will come later! 1 year sober today!!!.”

    The “Melrose Place” cast members will join the stars of “Glee”, “Frasier” and “Desperate Housewives”, who previously gathered as part of the YouTube reunion series.

    Baz Luhrmann Recalls Being Days Away From Filming Elvis Presley Biopic When Tom Hanks Got COVID-19

    WENN

    Detailing on what he had done after his leading man tested positive, the Hollywood filmmaker claims to have scrutinized video he had taken to identify ‘who exactly had touched’ or was near the actor.
    Apr 28, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Director Baz Luhrmann was just four days away from shooting the first scene for his new “Untitled Elvis Presley Biopic” when Tom Hanks fell ill with the coronavirus and the set was shut down.
    The filmmaker tells Deadline he was rehearsing a scene, in which hundreds of girls kiss Elvis Presley, played by Austin Butler, when he learned Hanks was sick.
    “The interesting thing is, we’d had a very quiet incident a month earlier, where everyone was staying,” Baz recalls. “There was a family that had it (COVID-19 virus). That connected us very closely with Dr. Wattiaux, a Gold Coast public health physician in Queensland, and the premier (Annastacia Palasczuk). I’ve worked very closely with her, and she’s great and she’s the equivalent of the governor of Queensland.
    “So I’m getting ready to begin shooting on a Monday, and it’s a scene where basically hundreds of girls are kissing Elvis… Tom (Hanks) guides him through the crowd… We were rehearsing camera positioning, everything, and I’d done all the tests, Austin, Tom, and the whole cast was on fire. We were that close… The world knows what happened next.
    “Tom and (wife) Rita (Wilson) handled it all so well, and we were so fortunate we had this direct connection with the head of infectious diseases, because it was an immediate shutdown… They were right on it.
    “If there was anything good about it, the very best thing that came out of it was when someone like Tom Hanks got it, I noticed that globally and particularly in America… suddenly everyone went, ‘This is real!’ He became an advertisement for it.”
    Luhrmann recalls scrutinising video he had taken, so he could identify “who exactly had touched Tom”, or “who had been near him for X amount of time”.
    “Everybody who was in the footage – and that included Austin and myself – we were 100 per cent quarantined for 14 days, no contact with anybody,” Baz adds. “I was in my house and we were locked down entirely. A team turned up in hazmat suits and we were tested. We wouldn’t have been immediately infectious, but poor Tom and Rita, they were in the hospital. They (authorities) did really good tracing work by looking at the footage. Some of the players were extras, but they tracked everybody down and they quarantined everyone who had real contact with Tom.
    “We never had one more infection in the entire crew.”

    Tyler Perry Plans to Safely Reopen Atlanta Studio Compound Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

    WENN

    Looking to devise a way for his crew to be able to return to work, the filmmaker behind the ‘Madea’ movie series promises there will be additional compensation for those taking risks.
    Apr 28, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Tyler Perry is working on an extensive plan to safely reopen his Atlanta, Georgia production compound amid the coronavirus pandemic.
    While the health crisis has shut down productions throughout the world, Perry is looking to devise a way in which those who test negative for the disease will be able to return to work. In a plan shared with Deadline, the writer, actor and director also offered up a way for those working on the shows to live in isolated housing for their safety while shooting is carried out.
    He also revealed there would be extra compensation for those taking the risk to work on the shows.
    “There would be additional compensation for the crew while they are there, similar to being a non-local hire,” he said of the cast and crew. “It will be the equivalent to if you are on location in Siberia shooting, and you have nowhere to go, you have to build your own campground to make that happen, base camp.”
    Despite his optimism, Perry knows there is a lot of work to be done before any shooting can resume, adding that his crew’s comfort level is paramount.
    “Every person would have to agree to this, department heads and the unions would have to agree,” he said. “My crew, who have been working with me 15 years now, they are excited about it; they are excited about this idea of possibility of us doing this thing, like we are doing a summer camp for 2 1/2 weeks while we are working.”
