    Kristen Bell Reveals Why Dax Shepard Needs CGI Assistance Should He Get 'Tiger King' Role

    WENN

    The ‘CHiPs’ star has got the support of John Finlay as he heavily endorses himself for the part of Finlay’s husband Joe Exotic in a potential film or TV series project.
    Apr 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Dax Shepard is heavily campaigning for the role of “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” star Joe Exotic in a new TV series or big screen project after learning the jailed zoo boss’ ex-husband thinks he’d be perfect for the role.
    Dax’s wife Kristen Bell admits the “CHiPs” star was thrilled to hear John Finlay had endorsed his campaign to grab the part of Joe Exotic, and now the Hollywood couple is doing everything it can to make the dream a reality.
    “Dax would be so thrilled, because we loved that show!” Bell told Entertainment Tonight.
    But she admits there is one snag – Dax has “an actual massive fear of killer animals.”
    “One time, we went to Africa and he was very hesitant in the van to even look out the window when we were on a safari watching the animals,” she explained, “so he said that they’d have to figure out how to CGI big cats. He said, ‘I’m not gonna be doing any stunts with a 600-pound animal.’ ”
    “But he’s very much in. He’s very much campaigning for the role. I think he would be brilliant.”
    Finlay recently told ET he’d like Channing Tatum to portray him in a potential “Tiger King” movie – a casting coup Bell also loves.

    “That’s genius,” she added. “And also, Dax and Channing are very good friends, so they could pull this off easily. They have to do it!”

    Veteran Cast Members Return for Coronavirus Spin-Off '90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined'

    TLC

    ‘We’re humbled and pleased they’ve opened their hearts and homes to TLC audiences during this unprecedented time,’ Howard Lee, president and general manager of TLC, says in a statement.
    Apr 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Coronavirus pandemic seemingly gives TLC an idea to create a new spin-off for its popular reality TV series “90 Day Fiance”. On Thursday, April 2, the network announced “90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined”, a limited series that features cast members from across the reality series franchise filming themselves during self-isolation.
    “For the couples featured across the ’90 Day Fiance’ franchise, their relationships have been tested by distance, cultural and religious differences, skeptical families, language barriers and much more. Now, like the rest of the world, their lives and love are facing an unfathomable challenge of the global coronavirus pandemic,” TLC said in a press release.
    “Over the past six years, TLC has traversed 34 countries around the globe to capture couples as they’ve battled distance and obstacles along their path to love, but like the rest of us, they’ve never endured a challenge quite like this,” Howard Lee, president and general manager of TLC, said in a statement.
    He added, “So many fans have been curious about how their favorite couples and individuals are holding up during the crisis, so we’ve asked them to self-film and share their lives in quarantine with all of us. Their stories hold a lens to the world, from anxiety and cabin fever to laughter and inspiration. We’re humbled and pleased they’ve opened their hearts and homes to TLC audiences during this unprecedented time.”
    Lee assured that everyone will still practice social distancing while working. “Our crew is not near them physically at all. They will be helping them remotely,” he explained. However, since the footage was filmed by the cast members themselves, Lee noted that this series may ‘look very hot-off-the-press. It will look like the paint has not dried. I think our audience is incredibly forgiving right now, and I’m hoping that they accept the way it looks. It will be messy!”
    Among the returning couples are Darcey and Jesse, Pedro and Chantel, Colt and Debbie, Corey and Evelin, Tiffany and Ronald, Narkyia and Lowo as well as Brett and Daya. Joining them are Benjamin and Akinyi, Patrick, Elizabeth and Andrei, Anna and Mursel and more.
    The five-episode limited series is set to premiere on Monday, April 20 at 9 P.M. on TLC.

    'KUWTK': Kim Shows Off Bloody Scratches Following Intense Fight With Kourtney Kardashian

    Instagram

    The physical altercation leads the mom of three to a decision of taking ‘big step back from filming’ as she will ‘really just pick and choose what I will allow cameras to follow.’
    Apr 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The new episode of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” picked up where things left off in the last episode. The physical fight between sisters Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian escalated quickly with Kim coming at Kourtney only to get slapped.
    The SKIMS founder attacked her back and the brawl continued, much to Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner’s shock. The two were finally separated, with Kourtney crying. Khloe approached her and blasted her for acting so violent, making Kourtney angrier because she felt like Khloe was taking Kim’s side.
    “It’s not a positive environment for me to want to be in every day,” Kourtney said in a confessional. “They’re so critical of me. Every day I’m like… why am I choosing to be in this environment? I think I just reached the point of not being able to tolerate it anymore.”

    Kourtney eventually decided to leave Khloe’s house. Meanwhile, Kim and Khloe stayed behind and called their mom Kris Jenner to fill her in on what happened. Additionally, Kim sent Kris some photos featuring bloody scratches she sustained from the fight.

    Kim had red scratches in her arm after the brawl with Kourtney Kardashian.
    Kourtney later was seen meeting up with Malika Haqq and Khadijah Haqq. “Every day they just pick on me and I just can’t do it anymore,” she told them while in tears. “I’m almost more mad at Khloe than Kim. I expect it from Kim, but Khloe takes everyone’s side except for me when I’m not even asking her opinion.”

    Kim’s back was also injured.
    The two suggested Kourtney to take a break from “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” if it wasn’t bringing her happiness. Taking the advice well, the mom of three later announced that she had “decided to take a big step back from filming and really just pick and choose what I will allow cameras to follow.” She went on reveal, “I think now, when I have something I find is interesting to film, or I would feel excited to film, I do that. For now, I’m just going to take control of my schedule back. I just want to feel fulfilled and happy. Life is too short.”
    Later in the episode, Kourtney admitted that she regretted attacking Kim. “I’m disappointed in myself,” Kourtney said. “I don’t think my response was matching up with what her exact comment was. Being violent is never the answer.”
