    AceShowbiz – “Modern Family” star Ty Burrell was so emotional while filming his final scene for the series, he ruined take after take with his sobs.
    The star, who recently wrapped the 11th and final season of the hit comedy, reveals art imitated life, as the emotions his last outing as Phil Dunphy called for onscreen, became far too overwhelming.
    “The last scene we filmed of the entire series, normally I find it pretty challenging to get to a place where I’m sort of sobbing on camera,” he told “Late Night with Seth Meyers” on Wednesday, March 04.
    The actor admits his crying was so out of control at one point the director had to halt filming to calm him down.
    He adds, “After a couple of takes, the director and the showrunner came out, and they were like ‘Um, could you guys cry… less?'”

    Cynthia Bailey on How Kenya Moore's Husband Treats Her at Charity Event: 'He's Not Nice'

    WENN/Avalon/Nicky Nelson

    Kenya also addresses the matter, saying, ‘Respect? What’s that?’ in response to a question whether or not she thinks Marc was respectful to her throughout the process of the event.
    Mar 6, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Cynthia Bailey has weighed in on the drama between Kenya Moore and her estranged husband Marc Daly. Talking in a Bravo recap, she noted that she had seen all sides of Marc during his charity event, which marked the last time of them being a couple.
    “There’s a couple of things I really didn’t appreciate that night after the charity event,” Cynthia said. “At the end of the day, whatever issues Kenya and I go through, she’s still my girl and I know how invested she is in her family.”
    Recalling that night, Cynthia shared, “I noticed that Marc didn’t thank Kenya for helping him with the event, which I know she did… He stands up and gives a speech and doesn’t even acknowledge Kenya.” She continued, “I’m not saying that he intentionally set out to not thank her, I just thought it was just really in poor taste that he didn’t.”
    “I’ve seen all sides to Marc. I’ve seen Marc where he’s amazing … and then I’ve seen other sides where I don’t get it. He’s not that nice,” he added.
    Kenya also addressed the matter in the same video. When asked if she thought Marc was respectful to her throughout the process, Kenya responded, “Respect? What’s that? Um, I think that when you want to take the lead on everything, I don’t think you respect many things that other people have to bring to the table, including myself. No, I think that I should have been treated in a way that honored the gifts that I have that I could’ve blessed him with for the event.”
    “And, I just don’t think it ended up like that. I just feel like all night there was tension I didn’t think he was very warm to me, he never thanked my in front of the crowd,” she stated. “There was just a lot going on. But, I kept my head up and a smile on my face to represent my family well. It was just not a pleasant evening and it didn’t end well. I just think at that point we were just very tired of the back and forth and just the stress of our relationship and where we were.”

    That night, in addition to saying that he hated being married to Kenya, Marc could be heard yelling at a producer to stop filming the party, “Tell them that’s it. They can’t film forever. Tell them they got to wrap. I’m giving you five minutes and then I’m gonna take care of it. If I come back down here it’s going to be ugly. I don’t give an F. End it. They’re never gonna see me again after the event.”
    The argument apparently was the last string for both Kenya and Marc because they separately filed for divorce the very next day following the charity event.

    'The Real': People Cracking Up Over Amanda Seales' Expression When Loni Love Is Crying

    FOX

    In the episode, The TV host can’t help but cry as she talks about the fact that many African Americans suffer from obesity-related illnesses due to lack of proper nutrition.
    Mar 6, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Loni Love got emotional in the Thursday, March 5 episode of “The Real”. The TV host couldn’t help but cry as she talked about the fact that many African Americans suffer from obesity-related illnesses due to lack of proper nutrition.
    “Let me tell y’all. I did not know how to eat. Growing up in the projects, we just had to eat what we could,” Loni explained through tears to the other co-hosts and audience. “I know it sounds funny, but a lot of women in African-American communities-we don’t know how to eat.”
    ” ‘Cause we grew up that way. So I’m trying to tell y’all-thank you to WW, because we want to do this to help our brothers and sisters,” she continued. “But I see y’all. I see y’all at my comedy shows and you’re like, ‘We need to get healthier,’ and that’s the reason we’re doing this. It’s just to make y’all aware of what’s happening in the community. You can eat and not starve and you can still lose weight. That’s the reason we’re doing this.”
    During the emotional moment, co-host Amanda Seales was caught sporting a rather hilarious facial expression. The actress/activist could be seen looking awkward and fans were digging it.

    “Sorry, but Amanda’s reaction/facial expression when Loni started crying…. No shade… I’m happy for Loni. She looks good and her makeup/hair is on point!” one fan commented on the particular moment. “Amanda face when Loni started crying yo. Amanda was confused as hell,” another added. Meanwhile, someone suggested that it wouldn’t be long before Loni will get upset with Amanda.
    However, some others didn’t think that Amanda made such facial expression in response to Loni recalling her struggle. “I do not think Amanda made a face because loni was crying. I think it was the fact that she said they did not know how to eat, i find that hard to relieve, because from i was thirteen years i remember a teacher telling us in school about carbohydrates and eating to much of it, she said it was for people that were doing alot of physical activity and about fats, if you could not afford it that a different thing,” one person tried to share her opinion.
    “But lack of knowledge l do not think so. And i am from a thirdworld country, so i would think they would mention it in American schools at some point. That is y after i left my parent’s home i stop eating rice and yam every day. Someone tell me if i am wrong,” the person concluded.

    Heidi Klum Has This Advice for Sofia Vergara's Judging Stint on 'America's Got Talent'

    Instagram

    Returning to the TV talent show after missing out one season, the former ‘Project Runway’ host says at the season 15 premiere event that she and the ‘Modern Family’ star are going to have fun together.
    Mar 6, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Heidi Klum offered up some advice to her fellow “America’s Got Talent” judge Sofia Vergara, urging her to “always speak your truth.”
    The “Modern Family” star has joined the panel for the upcoming series of the hit TV talent show, alongside fellow judges Heidi, Simon Cowell and Howie Mandel.
    Speaking to U.S. TV show “Extra” at the season 15 premiere event on Wednesday (March 04), supermodel Heidi offered up some words of wisdom for her new co-star.
    “I told her to always speak your truth. She was like, ‘I don’t want to do anything wrong. I’m nervous’… I said, ‘They might boo because they don’t agree with what you are saying. That’s going to be the weirdest thing for you. It was for me, but otherwise the people are awesome,’ ” she said.
    “They are a huge fan of hers, so no problem… ‘Be who you are and be honest with what you see,’ and she has been.”
    Heidi returns to the show after missing out on last season, with Julianne Hough and Gabrielle Union replacing her and Mel B (Melanie Brown), respectively. On her comeback, she added, “I am so excited that I was asked back. I missed it last year! It feels like being back at home, back with the family.”
    “Now we have a new family member. I love Sofia. I knew Sofia from before. I knew we were going to have fun together.”

    She gushed, “We have only had one day so far of filming together… She is lovely; you couldn’t have thought of a better person.”

    Billy Porter's Fairy Godmother Has No Gender in 'Cinderella'

    Instagram

    The rags-to-riches character who is portrayed by Camila Cabello is going to have a nonbinary fairy godmother in the upcoming Disney big screen adaptation.
    Mar 6, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Billy Porter’s Fairy Godmother in the upcoming movie musical adaptation of “Cinderella” will be non-binary when it comes to gender.
    The “Pose” star will appear alongside Camila Cabello, Idina Menzel, James Corden, and Missy Elliott in the upcoming flick and, during a chat with CBS News, the 50-year-old actor confirmed his role is genderless.
    “It hit me when I was on set last week how profound it is that I am playing the fairy godmother, they call it the Fab G,” he said. “Magic has no gender. We are presenting this character as genderless, at least that’s how I’m playing it. And it’s really powerful.”
    He continued, “This is a classic, this is a classic fairytale for a new generation. I think that the new generation is really ready. The kids are ready. It’s the grownups that are slowing stuff down.”
    “Cinderella” is currently filming in London, England, and as former Fifth Harmony star Camila celebrated her 23rd birthday earlier this week, her boyfriend, Shawn Mendes, jetted to England to be with her as she marked the big day in the seaside town of Blackpool.
    The movie is expected to be released in 2021.

    Pop TV

    The television series fronted by the former ‘True Blood’ actress has been canceled after running for two seasons following the layoffs of the channel’s 100 employees.
    Mar 6, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Anna Paquin’s celebrity PR firm series “Flack” has been cancelled after two seasons.
    Pop TV, the network which broadcasts the show, is cutting back on its scripted televised programming, with “Flack”, “Florida Girls”, and “Best Intentions”, among the shows being scrapped, according to Variety.
    The news comes as the network issued its first round of layoffs, with a reported 100 employees being let go from the channel.
    While the producers are now open to shop the shows around to other networks and/or streaming services, both “Florida Girls” and “Best Intentions” have previously been recommissioned and were due to being production shortly.
    While there is no indication whether “Florida Girls”, starring Laci Mosely and Melanie Field, will be shopped around, a representative for A+E Studios, which produces David Fynn’s “Best Intentions”, indicated they were not pleased by the decision.
    “We are extremely disappointed in Pop’s decision to not move forward with Best Intentions,” they said in a statement “We have complete confidence in our creative team and are actively shopping the series to other outlets.”
    “Flack” ‘s six-episode second series, also starring Sam Neill, Daniel Dae Kim, and Martha Plimpton, is still expected to debut on Pop TV on March 13, 2020.

    Mischa Barton Disses Rival Caroline D'Amore Following Rumored Firing From 'The Hills'

    WENN/Nicky Nelson

    The former cast member of ‘The Beautiful Life’ responds to her alleged exit from ‘The Hills’ reboot and takes a dig at the woman who is rumored to be her replacement on the show.
    Mar 6, 2020
    AceShowbiz – If Mischa Barton has been axed from the second series of “The Hills” reboot, it’s news to the actress-turned-reality star.
    It was reported on Wednesday, March 4, 2020 that bosses had decided not to invite the former “The O.C.” star back for the second season of the revived MTV show because she was “too boring.”
    The New York Post’s gossip column Page Six also reported that show executives were considering replacing her with DJ and business owner Caroline D’Amore.
    However, the suggestion didn’t go down too well with Mischa, who hit back at the rumours as she shared a screenshot of an article on Us Weekly reporting the allegations.
    “Lol. Where do people get their reporting from?” she wrote on Instagram, before taking aim at Caroline – the CEO of Italian sauce and pasta company Pizza Girl, Inc.
    “As if anyone would watch @carolinedamore try to hoc (sic) her boring ass pasta bowls and greasy pizza on tv. Tried that it was like watching paint dry. Get the story straight first. @usweekly.”
    Responding, Caroline thanked Mischa for boosting orders through her company, sharing a snap of herself holding up a Pizza Girl box and writing, “Thank you for the sudden surge in @pizzagirlofficial sales this morning.”
    She concluded her post by adding the comments, “#sellingout #notstoopingtoyourlevel @mischabarton REAL women don’t bully other women.”
    Mischa has yet to respond while “The Hills” bosses have not commented on the rumours Caroline is replacing the actress on the programme.
