    'Dawson's Creek' Reunion Blocked From Hulu's New Series 'Little Fires Everywhere'

    The WB

    The web television drama miniseries starring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington almost features a reunion between Joshua Jackson and his former co-star Kerr Smith.
    Apr 26, 2020
    AceShowbiz – An onscreen “Dawson’s Creek” reunion between Joshua Jackson and Kerr Smith on the set of “Little Fires Everywhere” was nixed as it was considered “too distracting.”
    Showrunner Liz Tigelaar reveals shortly after Jackson landed the role of attorney Bill Richardson in the limited series, she thought it would be great to bring Smith onboard for a cameo, having previously worked together on 2010 drama “Life Unexpected”.
    However, Tigelaar soon had a change of heart about the idea as the thought of having Jackson and Smith – known for their breakthrough roles as Pacey Witter and Jack McPhee – share the screen again, 17 years after “Dawson’s Creek” wrapped for good was too much for her to bear.
    In a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, Tigelaar, who also served as a writer for “Dawson’s Creek”, explained, “I wanted to put Kerr Smith in so bad, but the only thing I could do was (have him in a scene) with Josh Jackson, and I thought it was going to be too distracting for Jack and Pacey to be reunited.”
    She “felt so bad” about leaving Smith out of “Little Fires Everywhere”, but knew “Dawson’s Creek” fans would already have enough to get excited about with scenes of Jackson walking around half-naked in his “tighty-whities.”
    “Josh has already been in his tighty-whities. So much has happened,” Tigelaar reflected, adding of the potential Smith cameo, “It’s going to be jarring. It’s going to be like, ‘Jack’s here?’ ”
    “My heart couldn’t handle it, either!”
    “Little Fires Everywhere” also stars Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington and is adapted from author Celeste Ng’s bestselling novel of the same name. The eighth and final episode premiered on streaming service Hulu on Wednesday, April 22, 2020.

    Essie Davis and Charlie Hunnam Struggling to Film Sex Scene in Front of Her Husband

    WENN

    Essie Davis is left red-faced as she shoots intimate scenes with Charlie Hunnam and Nicholas Hoult in front of her director husband for movie ‘True History of the Kelly Gang’.
    Apr 26, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Actress Essie Davis struggled to film sex scenes with Charlie Hunnam in front of her husband.
    Director Justin Kurzel hired his wife to play Ellen Kelly in real-life outlaw tale “True History of the Kelly Gang” – and that meant intimate scenes with Brits Hunnam and Nicholas Hoult.
    “Pretty much every scene I had to do with every lovely man who came to do this epic tale, I had to do something excruciating with them on our first moment!” Essie tells WENN. “Giving someone fellatio in a scene is not the way you want to meet someone really!”
    “Charlie is such a divine human being. We met the night before this brutal scene and on the day we got down and dirty pretty much right away. Charlie was the most embarrassed because it was his first scene on set and he had to do this in front of (my husband) Justin, who is saying, ‘OK Charlie, you stand here and Essie, you’re gonna be kneeling down.’ ”
    “It was very amusing but part of the job is to do excruciating things! It was brutal and it was freezing and flooding and snowing. Then Nicholas Hoult arrives and: ‘Let’s go rehearse a rape!’ We all had protective padding and did everything as safe as possible.”
    Looking back, Davis has no problems with all the sex scenes but one fight scene left her bruised and sore.
    “I got a cracked rib,” she explains.

    'RHOA': NeNe Leakes Made Yovanna Momplaisir Lie About 'SnakeGate' Audio

    Instagram

    Elsewhere during the reunion special, Kenya Moore accuses her longtime nemesis of cheating on her husband with a guy named Rodney who lives in Washington D.C.
    Apr 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – More details about what went down during “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” reunion have found their way online. This time, it was about the infamous “SnakeGate” in which Cynthia Bailey allegedly badmouthed her co-star NeNe Leakes during an interview. However, it turns out that it was merely a lie.
    Yovanna Momplaisir, who was revealed to be the one having the audio proof, attended the reunion special and confessed that she never actually had the file. She also said that it was all a ploy NeNe made to create a storyline, according to Lovebscott.com. Yovanna 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.
    Besides the “SnakeGate”, NeNe and Kenya Moore unsurprisingly went at it again during the reunion. While the “Glee” alum attacked the former beauty queen over her rocky marriage to Marc Daly, Kenya accused her of having a secret boyfriend named Rodney in Washington D.C.
    For those who need a reminder, rumors of NeNe having a secret boyfriend started around last month, with a report claiming that she first met him while opening her Baltimore store in May 2019. “She spends a lot of time in Maryland not only because of this boutique, but also because of her side guy,” so a source said. “She flaunts her relationship with him around openly like they’re together.”
    Back to “RHOA” reunion, Kandi Burruss previously [u=news/view/00152839.htmlrevealed that the reunion was so explosive that some people decided to walk out. “That was stressing me out, and then when we got off, I just felt exhausted,” she added. “I talked to a couple of the girls afterwards. I know I talked to [Marlo Hampton]. Marlo was like, ‘Girl! I need a drink! I am done! I need a whole relaxation moment.’ ”

    'RHOA': Cast Members 'Walked Out' in 'Aggresive' Virtual Reunion

    Bravo

    According to Kandi Burruss, some arguments during the reunion got escalated with them ‘yelling and screaming’ to each other, to the point that ‘it was hurting my ears.’
    Apr 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast members may not be physically facing off each other in the upcoming reunion, but that doesn’t make this less tense. In a new interview, Kandi Burruss shared that the virtual reunion, in fact, was so explosive that some people decided to just walk out.
    “I think some people still have more to say. Some people walked out,” the 43-year-old Bravo personality spilled the tea to HollywoodLife. While she wasn’t able to say more than that, Kandi insisted that she told the truth. “I’m not going to lie. Well, for me, it was aggressive,” she said.
    “I would say aggressive because I mean the arguments were going so crazy sometimes that [host] [Andy Cohen] is trying to get us to stop and he can’t because we’re not in the room with him so nobody can stop us from talking or saying what we need to say, so people are just going for roadkill when they say what it is they need to say until finally some of us had to be muted,” so she continued.
    Kandi also shared that some arguments got escalated with them “yelling and screaming.” She recalled, “It was hurting my ears. I literally had to send production a text like please turn down my headphones.”
    “That was stressing me out, and then when we got off, I just felt exhausted,” she added. “I talked to a couple of the girls afterwards. I know I talked to [Marlo Hampton]. Marlo was like, ‘Girl! I need a drink! I am done! I need a whole relaxation moment.’ ”

    Kandi didn’t reveal which cast members who were involved in the screaming match, but it’s more likely that they’re longtime rivals NeNe Leakes and Kenya Moore. The latter previously hinted  that she’s looking “forward to exposing for the person she really is.”
    “I think this is a reunion of exposure. And I have the receipts to back it up. I have the people to back it up. I have everything I need so that the world will know just who she really is,” she teased.
    However, she hinted that NeNe wouldn’t be the only one among the cast members whom she would be coming after. “Well, my focus is addressing all of the women that I’ve had issues with,” so she shared. “I think that I will do what I’ve always done which is just to be really honest and be factual and to keep it as classy as I possibly can under the circumstances.”
    Kenya didn’t mention any names other than NeNe. However, it’s possible that she might be attacking Porsha Williams and Tanya Sam later.

    Alison Janney Fails to Remember Participation in '10 Things I Hate About You'

    Touchstone Pictures

    When a fan pays tribute to her wacky guidance counsellor role Ms. Perky in the teen movie, the ‘Bombshell’ actress requests the devotee to refresh her memory.
    Apr 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Allison Janney completely forgot she’s one of the stars of 1999 film “10 Things I Hate About You”.
    The Oscar-winning actress, who portrayed wacky guidance counsellor Ms. Perky in the teen movie starring Julia Stiles and the late Heath Ledger, seemed to have no memory of it when a fan paid tribute to her character on Instagram.
    Referring to a line in “10 Things I Hate About You” that Allison delivered as Ms. Perky, who advised students and also wrote erotic literature in her free time, the fan wrote in a post, “I’ve got deviants to see and a novel to finish.”
    But the reference was completely lost on Janney so she asked the writer to refresh her memory.
    “I don’t understand! What is this????? What am I in that I forget I was in?” the 60-year-old star responded.

    Allison isn’t the only star who can’t remember every movie she’s been in.
    Gwyneth Paltrow recently failed to recall she appeared as Pepper Potts in Marvel’s 2017 superhero film “Spider-Man: Homecoming”.
    “Remember, we were in ‘Spider-Man’?” her co-star Jon Favreau asked during an episode of his Netflix series, “The Chef Show”, last year (19).
    “We weren’t in ‘Spider-Man’,” Gwyneth replied. “No, I was in ‘Avengers’.”
    “You were in ‘Spider-Man’, also,” Jon confirmed.

    Omarion Teases at Going 'Little Deeper' Into Apryl Jones and Lil Fizz Drama on 'The Connection'

    Instagram

    The B2K rapper also talks about his ‘unbothered’ essential oils, saying, ‘The scent is gonna truly represent the attitude and embody sometimes the position you need to take.’
    Apr 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Omarion is gearing up for his upcoming Zeus network series titled “The Connection”. Prior to the premiere, the B2K rapper sat down with PeopleTV to reveal what people could expect from his new TV series.
    “A lot of people know that I have a way of addressing things. As a creative person, this is my main language, creativity,” he shared. “I think the interesting thing about creativity is that creativity has many perspectives and I think there’s always lessons and takeaways from life’s situations. Looking at it now, I’m so honored to be able to be the example for a lot of people in their relationships.”
    When asked if he would address the drama surrounding her baby mama Apryl Jones and ex B2K groupmate Lil Fizz, Omarion responded, “We’re definitely gonna be diving into that… I will be diving a little deeper into the intricacies and some of the challenges because really that’s all it is, it’s just a challenge.”
    However, it seemed like it wouldn’t take much portion of the show since Omarion revealed that he had been busy with his new venture, “unbothered” essential oil. “The scent is gonna truly represent the attitude and embody sometimes the position you need to take,” Omarion said. “Sometimes you need to deal with things head-on, but sometimes you need to be unbothered.”

    For the past months, Omarion and Apryl have been making headlines after she confirmed that she was dating O’s B2K groupmate Lil Fizz before eventually splitting. O was known to be unbothered by the whole thing, though he started to break his silence in interviews earlier this year.
    “I don’t have a relationship with Fizz. I think that there should be [an] opportunity for us to talk one day. I don’t know when that is, but there should be opportunity… Because it’s such a question to people. So, it kinda creates this layer of ‘I don’t know,’ ” he said on Big Boy’s “Neighborhood” in February, before adding that Fizz and Apryl were already dating when B2K was on the “Millennium Tour” in 2019.
    The former couple didn’t say anything to him though, as Omarion found out about their relationship through rumors. “I wanna be clear though, what me and Apryl had is what me and Apryl had. We created something really beautiful and we gave something truly beautiful to each other that’s really irreplaceable. So, at the end of the day, even though I have public issues, I wish no ill intent or malice towards anyone,” Omarion insisted.
