    '90 Day Fiance': Rose Hopes for Proposal From Reluctant Ed

    TLC

    In a clip from upcoming April 26 episode, the couple is seen having a romantic dinner at their hotel with 23-year-old Rose hoping for the night to end with Ed proposing to her.
    Apr 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The upcoming episode of “90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days” season 4 is poised to show a pivotal moment in Ed and Rose’s relationship. In a clip from the April 26 episode, which is obtained by Entertainment Tonight, the couple is seen having a romantic dinner at their hotel with Rose hoping for the night to end with Ed proposing to her.
    “I feel happy. I feel love,” the 23-year-old says in confessional. “I want Ed to be a part of my life so, I wish that he proposes to me this night.”
    While Rose sounds so sure about their relationship, it is not the case with Ed. Speaking to TLC cameras, the 50-year-old shares, “I mean I think [I want to be with her], but I’m not 100 percent sure.” He admits that the situation with Rose’s sister, who asks him for money, is the one that is holding him back. It seems like Ed still has doubts regarding Rose’s real intention for dating him.
    “We’re still exploring that, at this point,” he previously said to Entertainment Tonight when asked if he still feels that Rose is dating him for his money. “At this point [in the show], I still have suspicions.”
    That isn’t the only problem the two have to face since Rose is rumored to be actually engaged to another woman now. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Ed addressed this swirling rumor about Rose’s supposed engagement to another woman. He admitted he has “no idea” if it’s true and hadn’t even heard of the rumor before, but reminded fans that they should take everything with a grain of salt.
    “You know, half the stuff I read online — not like half the stuff, more like 90 percent of the stuff I read online — is not true,” he explained. “It’s people grabbing information, and bits and bits of information, and they’re just creating fake news. They don’t know what’s going on. I know what’s going on in my heart.”
    While he didn’t give a straight answer regarding the status of their relationship, Ed said, “I’m happy, that’s all I can tell you.” He went on assuring, “I’m very, very happy.”

    Jonas Brothers Give a Peek at 'Happiness Continues', Unveil Release Date

    Instagram

    During a livestream QnA, Joe, Nick and Kevin Jonas surprise fans with announcement that they will be offering a new documentary on Amazon Prime Video, and talk about their social-distancing struggles.
    Apr 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jonas Brothers have piqued fans’ curiosity about their upcoming documentary. Following the success of “Chasing Happiness”, Joe Jonas, Nick Jonas and Kevin Jonas announced a release date for their second documentary, “Happiness Continues”, and offered a teaser at the Amazon Prime Video project.
    When hosting a livestream Q&A on Instagram on Thursday, April 23, the “Sucker” hitmakers surprised fans and followers with the revelation over their new concert movie. Sharing the news from their respective quarantine places, the trio revealed that their project would be made available at midnight on Friday, April 24.
    Prior to the announcement, the brothers dropped a trailer for the documentary on the group’s social media page. The trailer itself was kicked off with Joe stating, “I thought I was done with the Jonas Brothers.” He then cheekily added, “Hell no,” before footage transitioned to show their “Happiness Begins” tour, them goofing around, and being joined by wives Danielle Deleasa, Priyanka Chopra and Sophie Turner.
    The documentary would also include how Joe, Nick and Kevin prepared themselves before they got on stage to perform in front of their fans. During their livestream Q&A, Joe joked about being slapped in the face for his preparation. “A lot of times it was Sophie,” he quipped.

    On a more serious side, the musician brothers were asked by one particular fan about their favorite thing about their long-awaited reunion. Kevin replied, “Having my family see the show for the first time and be able to see us making music again.”
    Elsewhere during the chat, the brothers discussed the difficulties they faced amid the coronavirus lockdown. Kevin confided that he has to re-learn mathematics for his 6-year-old daughter Alena. “Alena is a really good student, she wants to learn, she’s very good at math,” he said, noting that “patience is a virtue that gets tested.”
    Joe, on the other hand, encountered some problems with Zoom which people resorted to use for meeting or learning since the outbreak of the novel pandemic kept them from coming to the office and schools. “I keep forgetting you have to turn off your camera, if you’re using the bathroom or something,” he jokingly spilled.

    'KUWTK': Khloe Kardashian Hints at Possible Reunion With Tristan Thompson While Planning Baby No. 2

    Instagram

    Meanwhile, Rob Kardashian makes a brief appearance in the new episode of ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ during his daughter Dream’s 3rd ‘cute’ birthday party.
    Apr 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The Thursday, April 23 episode of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” showed Khloe Kardashian further discussing her plan to freeze her eggs for baby No. 2 with ex and baby daddy Tristan Thompson. She admitted to Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner that she was thinking to have Tristan to be her sperm donor if she decided to make embryos.
    “After my doctor’s appointment, I talked to Tristan because if you can create embryos and do all the DNA testing, I do think that’s the smarter choice,” Khloe told her sisters, though she admitted that “it’s weird because, Tristan and I, we’re not together. I don’t know which way to go.”
    She underwent egg retrieval surgery, and shared that she would be just focusing on the eggs. “Right now, Tristan and I, we’re in this strange transition period where we’re figuring out boundaries. It’s just not the right time but, who knows, maybe that can change one day,” she added, seemingly hinting that she hoped for a reconciliation with the Cleveland Cavaliers player one day.
    Khloe later called Tristan, who was “open to doing that and down to doing that.” He assured Khloe, “Whatever is going to make you feel comfortable and also feel safest and everything like that, that’s what I’m on board with.” That made Khloe felt “blessed,” sharing, “I have no idea what my future holds for Tristan and I, but I really think I will feel a lot better knowing, OK, I have 5 embryos in a freezer if I want to use them I have them there.”
    Meanwhile, Rob Kardashian made a brief appearance in the new episode during his daughter Dream’s 3rd birthday party. “I am so proud of Rob and what a cute party he gave for Dream,” Kris Jenner gushed during the episode. “He wanted it to be so special. From the cake to the bubble guy, it was just really cute.”
    Fans were also happy to see Rob coming back on the show. “Good to see brother Rob back on the show. He’s been quarantined for years #KUWTK,” one fan tweeted.

    Robbie Williams Hoping to Replace Daniel Craig as New James Bond

    Instagram

    The former Take That member is keen to be the next 007 spy agent as Daniel Craig is expected to bow out after ‘No Time to Die’ is released later this year.
    Apr 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Robbie Williams wants to show off his “serious acting range” as he tipped himself as Daniel Craig’s James Bond replacement.
    The “Rock DJ” hitmaker told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper he could replace Craig, who quits the iconic role after his final Bond movie, “No Time to Die”, comes out in November 2020.
    “I want to throw my hat into the ring for the James Bond job,” the former Take That singer declared. “What people don’t know about me is that I am quite a serious actor and I have got range.”
    He added, “I am not just a cheeky chappy.”
    During the coronavirus lockdown, Robbie, 46, has been showing off his acting skills on Instagram Live by treating fans to dramatic readings of the lyrics to several of his songs.
    His ambition comes after the hitmaker said he believes he battled coronavirus while holed up in an Airbnb rental property down the road from his family’s mansion in Los Angeles as he chose to keep his distance from wife Ayda Field, 40, and their four children because he felt “lethargic, tired and heavy.”

    'Death of Stalin' Helmer Slams Screening of His Movie in Theater Reopening Amid Covid-19 Crisis

    IFC Films

    Armando Iannucci makes it clear that he disapproves of the screening of his movie as theaters across the states are expected to reopen their business in May.
    Apr 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – British filmmaker Armando Iannucci has slammed an initiative that will lead to his movie “The Death of Stalin” hitting U.S. cinemas that reopen next month, May 2020.
    Movie theatres across the U.S. have shut down due to the Covid-19 pandemic and, to help independent picture houses back on their feet, IFC Films are offering 200 of their titles for free from May 29 as part of their Indie Theater Revival Project.
    However, Armando has hit out at the scheme, tweeting that it is far too soon for large events like cinema screenings to take place – and stating that he does not want his movie shown.
    “I’d like to make it clear I don’t approve of any of my films being shown in US movie theatres before it’s clear the virus has been overcome,” he wrote. “So, I don’t approve of ‘The Death of Stalin’ being shown in US movie theatres as early as May 29th. That’s simply too early.”
    IFC representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Other films set to be screened include “Boyhood”, “45 Years”, “Hunger”, “Sightseers”, “The Babadook”, and “The Human Centipede”.
    Iannucci’s latest film, “The Personal History of David Copperfield”, had its May 2020 opening in the U.S. postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, having already debuted in the U.K.
