    'The Tonight Show': Lady GaGa and Jimmy Fallon Have the Most Awkward Phone Call Ever

    WENN

    Prior to FaceTiming with the 34-year-old singer from his home, host Jimmy Fallon teases that she’ll be making a big announcement, but she reveals that for some reasons she can’t do the interview.
    Apr 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa was among the guests in the Wednesday, April 1 episode of “The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon”. Prior to FaceTiming with the 34-year-old singer/actress from his home, host Jimmy Fallon teased that the singer would be making a big announcement.
    Once he was connected with GaGa, Jimmy excitedly said, “Hi! Lady GaGa!” The “A Star Is Born” was seen wearing smart makeup while sporting dark-rimmed glasses. She seemed to be busy as she awkwardly greeted, “Hi everyone!”
    Jimmy then asked her, “You have a big, maybe announcement you’re going to say tonight on our show?” However, GaGa revealed for some reasons she couldn’t do the interview, let alone making an announcement. “I can’t Jimmy. I, uh, can’t talk right now. I’m sorry. It’s just a really, really weird time,” she said.
    “Hello? Jimmy I can’t see you. Am I on TV?” the “Poker Face” hitmaker asked, to which Jimmy responded,”Yeah, you’re on TV. I apologize.” Jimmy appeared to try pressing about the announcement, saying, “There’s something very big you’re working on that’s going to help people right now.”
    GaGa, however, insisted that she just couldn’t do it at the time. “I cant..I can’t tell you everything right now because I’m still ironing out the details and I have a lot of phone calls to make,” she told Jimmy. She then suggested him to call her again on Friday, much to Jimmy’s confusion.

    As if the situation wasn’t weird enough, GaGa suddenly asked Jimmy to reschedule their interview on Monday. Despite feeling confused, Jimmy agreed to the proposition. “So I guess it’s Monday. Monday is when we will find out the big news from Lady GaGa. Not today, Wednesday, no. Not Friday, nope. Next Monday is when we’ll find out the big news from Lady GaGa. Thank you, GaGa. I cannot wait to find out what you’re brewing. It’s going to be fun,” Jimmy concluded.

    Kevin Bacon Favored to Play 'Tiger King' Star Joe Exotic in Movie

    WENN/Instagram

    The ‘X-Men: First Class’ actor leads bookmakers’ list of stars whom gamblers should place their bets on when it comes to who will portray the former zookeeper in a feature film.
    Apr 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Kevin Bacon is oddsmakers’ favorite to play Joe Exotic in a feature film about the “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” star. The Golden Globe Award-winning actor leads the list at SportsBetting.ag of stars whom gamblers should place their bets on when it comes to who will portray the former zookeeper in the movie adaptation about the incarcerated zookeeper.
    Also in the list of potential Joe depicters are three-time Oscar nominee Edward Norton, Academy Award-nominated actor Billy Bob Thornton, as well as actors/comedians David Spade and Ben Stiller. The site notes, though, that the film has to be released by 2021 or sooner to be eligible to win the bet.
    Bookmakers have additionally named who could be portraying Joe’s nemesis Carole Baskin. “The Goldbergs” star Wendi Mclendon-Covey is the favorite, with awards-winning actress Allison Janney,”Saturday Night Live” alum Kristen Wiig, Jennifer Coolidge (“American Pie”) and 2020 Oscars’ Best Actress winner Laura Dern among the other candidates.
    While gamblers can put their bets on those names, Joe’s husband John Finlay has his own favorites to play him and his husband in a supposed film about them. He recently told Entertainment Tonight that Dax Shepard would be perfect to play Joe, while he wants Channing Tatum to play him.
    Dax’s wife Kristen Bell has weighed in on John’s dream casting and she said that the “CHiPs” star was thrilled to hear John had endorsed his campaign to grab the part of Joe. “Dax would be so thrilled, because we loved that show!” the actress said. While revealing that her husband fears killer animals and would need CGI in place of real tigers, she added, “But he’s very much in. He’s very much campaigning for the role. I think he would be brilliant.”
    She also supported John’s idea of having Channing to play Dax’s on-screen husband, saying, “That’s genius. And also, Dax and Channing are very good friends, so they could pull this off easily. They have to do it!”

    Sheldon Cooper Appears to Have Coronavirus in Old Episode of 'The Big Bang Theory'

    CBS

    The alleged Coronavirus prediction also appeared in an episode of the show’s spin-off ‘Young Sheldon’ as Sheldon is seen watching news on TV about a flu virus that’s originating from China.
    Apr 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – People are freaking out after finding out that an old episode of “The Big Bang Theory” might have predicted the existence of Coronavirus. The popular sitcom previously aired an episode which saw Sheldon Cooper being admitted to hospital because he had been exposed to something that was believed to be Coronavirus.
    In a video that circulated online, Sheldon (Jim Parsons) could be seen stopping Raj Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar) from joining him during lunch because he was sneezing. Elsewhere in the video, he was seen at a hospital before going inside a room where an apparent patient with an infectious diseases was being isolated.
    When he was about to go out, the paramedic surrounding the patient stopped him from going because he “has been exposed.” That led him to stay at the hospital. His friends were wearing hazmat suit and full-body protection while visiting him.
    The alleged Coronavirus prediction also appeared in an episode of the show’s spin-off “Young Sheldon”. Young Sheldon (Iain Armitage), who claimed to be germaphobe, packed his things up and was ready to leave the class after his teacher sneezed right in front of everyone. “Where do you think you are going?” the teacher asked, to which Sheldon replied while covering his mouth and nose with his arm, “away from you.” The teacher continued, “Why is that?” and Shelton told her it was because he wanted to live.
    Later, he was seen watching news on TV about a flu virus that was originating from China. “Children and the elderly are almost at risk,” said the news anchor.

    This is similar to COVID-19 that put the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions at the higher risk. Research is showing that adults at the age of 60 and older, especially with heart disease, lung disease, diabetes or cancer are more likely to have severe coronavirus infection than other age groups. Some cases even lead to death.
