    Lady GaGa and Bradley Cooper's Movie Romance Inspires New Dating Show

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    The onscreen sizzling relationship between the ‘Poker Face’ singer and her ‘A Star Is Born’ love interest has sparked inspirations for a new dating show.
    Apr 13, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa and Bradley Cooper’s movie romance “A Star Is Born” inspired the new “The Bachelor” TV spin-off, according to the show’s longtime host Chris Harrison.
    The brains behind “The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart”, which begins on Monday, April 13, 2020, came up with the idea while watching Gaga and Cooper’s performance at the Oscars in 2019, and now Harrison wants the “Poker Face” star to appear on the new dating show.
    “She was the inspiration for this show,” Harrison tells Us Weekly. “I mean, A Star Is Born, Gaga, Bradley Cooper that moment at the Oscars, when I thought they were just going to have sex on stage. Could we create that kind of chemistry? Could we do that with The Bachelor?”
    The new programme features 20 single musicians looking for love. “All these musicians come from crazy walks of life,” Harrison adds. “Some people have been grinding at this for forever. (There’s) one of the guys that was just on American Idol, someone came out of their church choir, musical theatre, you name it. They all want that relationship.”

    'Robin Hood' Gets New Musical Remake

    Disney

    The classic Robin Hood tale is reportedly getting a new remake reimagined as a musical live-action hybrid with ‘Blindspotting’ director Carlos Lopez Estrada.
    Apr 13, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Disney studio bosses are lining up a movie remake of their animated classic, “Robin Hood”.
    “Blindspotting” director Carlos Lopez Estrada has been tapped to take charge of the project for the Disney+ streaming service.
    It will be written by Kari Granlund, who recently penned the script for another reboot, “Lady and the Tramp”.
    According to The Hollywood Reporter, the new version of “Robin Hood” will be of the musical variety, and feature anthropomorphic animals with a hybrid of live-action and computer-generated imagery.
    The original film, a light-hearted take on the legend of Robin Hood, was produced and directed by Wolfgang Reitherman and starred Brian Bedford as the voice of Robin Hood, Phil Harris as best friend Little John, Monica Evans as Maid Marian, and Peter Ustinov as both Prince John and King Richard.
    Casting details for the remake, which entered the early stages of development before the coronavirus lockdown, have yet to be revealed.
    It’s the latest Disney classic to be given an update for a new generation of audiences – “Aladdin” and “Beauty and the Beast” recently became box office hits, while production on “The Little Mermaid” was halted last month, March 2020 due to the global pandemic.

    'Batman' Director Determined to Resume Filming in London After It's Halted Due to Covid-19 Crisis

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    Matt Reeves is keen to finish the production of the Caped Crusader movie in Britain after it came to a screeching halt due to the global coronavirus pandemic.
    Apr 12, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “The Batman” director Matt Reeves wants to finish filming the movie in London after the coronavirus outbreak there has ended – but hasn’t ruled out moving production elsewhere.
    Reeves and a cast including Robert Pattinson, who plays the titular superhero, Zoe Kravitz, Paul Dano, and Colin Farrell, had shot around a quarter of the film in the U.K. when production was halted last month, March 2020 as the country was hit by Covid-19.
    Asked if he would consider moving the shoot to a location less affected by the global pandemic, the filmmaker said the plan is to return – but that nothing is off the table should Britain remain in lockdown for an extended period.
    “It’s way too early to say,” he told Deadline.com. “I can’t imagine we wouldn’t finish in London. The situation is fluid.”
    Updating fans on the progress he made before the shoot was put on hold, Reeves explained, “We’re not officially editing right now. We’ve actually shot a quarter of the movie and I have been pouring through dailies, looking at takes, and what’s to come.”
    The film has also been hit by tragedy as Andrew Jack, a renowned dialect coach and actor who was working on the project, died after contracting Covid-19.
    “He was a lovely and special person and it’s one of those things where it makes you re-prioritise and realise how fragile everything is,” Reeves said in a tribute to Jack.
    Mulling the tough times brought on by the health crisis, he added, “I’m tremendously focused on the movie and, of course, it’s nice to be able to stop. But the real thing I’ve been thinking about is the state the world is in, and hoping that everyone is going to be OK and that everyone is going to social distance and do everything to be safe, because it’s a very scary time.”

    Kris Jenner Dismisses 'KUWTK' Crew to Have Sex With Corey Gamble at Kylie's Office

    WENN/Instar

    In the latest episode of the reality TV show, the Kardashian matriarch asks her boyfriend not to leave after sharing several tender kisses at her daughter’s office.
    Apr 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble have been dating for a while now, but it’s clear as day that the sparks between the lovebirds are still strong. In the latest episode of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”, the momager kicked out filming crew so that she could have sex with her beau in Kylie Jenner’s office.
    During the episode, Corey paid Kris a visit and the latter was more than elated to have him there. Following a series of tender kisses, the matriarch apparently felt that it was not enough and demanded that the tour manager stay despite only having limited time. “Are you serious?” Corey asked, to which Kris replied, “Yeah! Do you have five minutes?”
    Right after Corey agreed to her suggestion, Kris told the filming crew to get out of the room so that they could have some sexy time alone. “Alright you guys, all of you, get out of here. Here’s my mic, I’m taking a ten minute break. Bye, sorry, goodbye,” she told them, before closing the door almost immediately.
    One crew member then could be heard saying off-camera, “Are they doing what I think they’re doing?” In response, another member said, “I don’t know!”

    Kris and Corey have been dating since 2014 and continued to go strong each day. Despite their strong affection to each other, Kris previously said that she had no intention to walk down the aisle with him. “You know, I’ve done that twice and it didn’t work out so well,” she said, referring to her marriage to the late Robert Kardashian and Caitlyn Jenner. “So I don’t know — you never know. I’m going to take a page out of Goldie and Kurt’s book. Or Kourtney’s book. I think as long as things are going so well, why ruffle it up?”
