    Mar 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Chance The Rapper is in talks to head back to “Sesame Street” to star in a live-action film adaptation of the hit children’s show.
    The “No Problem” hitmaker made a guest appearance on the educational TV series in early 2019, and now Warner Bros. studio officials have invited him back to join Anne Hathaway in the planned movie musical.
    Portlandia director Jonathan Krisel will take charge of the project, which will focus on a group of beloved characters mysteriously expelled from the famed neighbourhood, forcing them to embark on an adventure to prove Sesame Street really exists, according to Variety.
    The movie will feature original songs by “Eighth Grade” filmmaker Bo Burnham, and is scheduled to launch in January (21).
    If Chance signs on, the big screen version of “Sesame Street” will mark the father-of-two’s second major acting gig on film, following 2018 horror/comedy “Slice”.
    He is also set to show off his presentation skills as the host of the upcoming “Punk’d” prank series revival on mobile streaming service Quibi.

    'RHONJ' Reunion: Jennifer Aydin Blasts Melissa Gorga Over Alleged Fake Storylines About Pregnancy

    Bravo TV

    In addition to faking stories about baby No. 4, the ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ cast member allegedly fakes stories about her restaurant and long-lost sister.
    Mar 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” season 10 aired its reunion in the Wednesday, March 4 episode. The episode saw Jennifer Aydin accusing Melissa Gorga of lying about her fertility struggles for the sake of storylines.
    “The constant selfies, the constant self-accolades, like ‘I’m so cute!’ ‘You look so good Melissa Gorga!’ I’ve heard that’s what you do when you scroll on your Instagram,” Jennifer said of “self-absorbed” Melissa in the episode while some of the other housewives looked on and laughed. Jennifer, however, refused to reveal her sources when host Andy Cohen asked Jennifer who told her about that.
    Claiming that Melissa, who said that she was considering to go through IVF to have a fourth child with husband Joe Gorga, wasn’t genuine with her story, Jennifer continued putting Melissa on a blast. “I feel like you’re making a mockery of people who are really going through it and people who really do IVF,” Jennifer alleged.
    “I think you were absolutely faking that whole thing. I think your career has taken off. A baby would halt your journey right now,” continued Jennifer. “It’s a very selfless thing to have a baby. Look how much she would have to give up.”
    When asked for her opinion about the matter, Teresa Giudice said, “That’s her opinion. That’s what she thinks of her.” Teresa, however, didn’t agree with what Jennifer said. “I don’t think she would be staying at home with the baby now at this point in her life. She would hire help.”

    In addition to fake pregnancy, Melissa allegedly faked stories about her restaurant and long-lost sister. In response to a fan who asked her about that, Melissa explained, “The restaurant was not fake. The guy screwed us over majorly.”

    New 'The Batman' Official Set Photos Unveil Robert Pattinson's Vintage Batmobile

    Twitter

    The new vehicle to be featured in Matt Reeves’ movie looks to be a modified classic American muscle car, which is unlike any other cars shown in previous Batman films.
    Mar 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – New official set photos from “The Batman” have been shared by Matt Reeves, this time revealing the Batmobile. The director took to Twitter on Wednesday, March 3 to post three images featuring the new vehicle, with Robert Pattinson’s titular character standing next to it in his complete Batsuit.
    The pictures give a close-up look and details of the new Batmobile, which looks to be a modified classic American muscle car, possibly a Chevy Camaro or a Dodge Charger from the late ’60s. The car, which is unlike any other cars shown in previous Batman films, has an exposed rear engine with three horizontal red brake lights on each side.

    People have since shown mixed reactions to the car design, with actor Elijah Wood expressing his excitement, “s**t yes! cannot wait for what you’re crafting, Matt.” Marvel director James Gunn showed his support with raised-hands emoji, while some others compared it to “The Fast and The Furious” cars. “THE DARK AND THE FURIOUS,” one person wrote. Another added, “The Bat and the Furious!!”

    There were some others, however, who think that Ben Affleck’s Batmobile in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has the best design. “This is the best By Far,” one tweeted along with picture of Affleck posing next to his Batmobile.
    Echoing the sentiment, another wrote, “Sigh…nothing will ever live up to this again huh.” An apparent Synder fan similarly commented, “Just when you think it can’t get any worse…,” while someone else dubbed the new Batmobile “Serious DOWNGRADE..!!”
    Besides starring Pattinson as the titular character, “The Batman” will feature Colin Farrell as the Penguin, Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, Paul Dano as Batman’s villain The Riddler, Jeffrey Wright who is said to play James Gordon, and Peter Sarsgaard who is cast in a mystery role. There has been a speculation that Sarsgaard might be portraying District Attorney Harvey Dent, who becomes the villain Two-Face.
    The solo movie is slated for June 25, 2021 release in U.S. theaters.

    Report: MTV Pulls the Plug on 'Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant'

    The franchise show is seemingly not the only one whose fate was in limbo as it was previoulsy rumored that the network plans to cancel ‘Teen Mom OG’ after 10 years.
    Mar 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – MTV is reportedly planning to cancel one of its popular TV shows, “Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant”. A new report suggests that the spin-off series of “Teen Mom” will not go beyond its sophomore season.
    MTO News noted that a recent tweet from The Ashley hinted that the show might end after season 2, which recently ended. “is teen mom young and pregnant going to have a season 2 reunion or was last week the final episode?” a fan asked, to which The Ashley responded on March 3, “They are not having a reunion; i will have more on the show this week. stay tuned!”

    The Ashley appeared to hint at the cancellation of ‘Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant’.
    The report also stated that the show’s ratings were among the reasons why MTV allegedly decided to cancel the show. The February 4 episode of the show was this season’s highest rated show with 511,000 viewers. Meanwhile, its season finale, which was the second highest rated show, brought in 470,000 viewers.
    That seemed like a good number but the season averaged a meager 407,000 viewers per episode without the two episodes.
    This arrives after it was rumored that MTV planned to cancel “Teen Mom OG” after 10 years. According to previous reports, MTV had tried to keep the show alive, but the viewership was on a steady decline for the majority of the season as it dropped into the 600,000 range per episode.
    Additionally, the network tried to boost the ratings by adding a new permanent cast member. Mackenzie McKee, who first appeared on “16 and Pregnant” and “Teen Mom 3”, joined season 8 of “Teen Mom” to fill the void left by former cast member Farrah Abraham.
    Another thing that the report noted was that most of the moms have aged out of the series. The point of the show was showing the struggles of young mothers. However, as the show goes on, cast members are getting older.
    MTV has yet to comment on the cancellation rumors.

    'The Masked Singer' Recap: The Taco's Identity Is Revealed

    FOX

    The new episode of the FOX singing competition show features the four remaining singers from Group B taking the stage to flaunt their skills, though only 3 of them head to the Super 9.
    Mar 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – In the Wednesday, March 4 episode of “The Masked Singer” season 3, the four remaining singers from Group B were taking the stage to flaunt their skills. However, only 3 of them headed to the Super 9.
    The night kicked off with a performance by the Kitty, who sang Miranda Lambert’s “Mama’s Broken Heart”. As a hint, she gave her friendship bracelet, which said “fireworks,” to judge Robin Thicke. She explained that was because the “first time we met was lit.” The judges guessed that Kitty might be Christina Ricci, Kristen Bell and Haylie Duff.

    The next performer was the Taco, who liked to help “people when they get down.” He offered a performance of “Can’t Help Myself” by The Four Tops. His friendship bracelet was for Nicole Scherzinger and it said “kiss.” The guesses included Barry Manilow, Howie Mandel and Jerry Springer.
    Meanwhile, the Banana redeemed himself with performance of Bill Withers’ “Lean on Me” after forgetting the lyrics during his performance last week. He gave his friendship bracelet, which read “nineties,” to Jenny McCarthy, explaining that they got the chance to hang as friends back then. Among those whose names were thrown in the mix for guesses were Michael Andretti, Brad Paisley and Johnny Knoxville.
    [embedded content]
    Concluding the episode was the Frog, who hit the stage to perform The Gap Band’s “You Dropped a Bomb on Me”. He gave his friendship bracelet, which said “all we do is win,” for “friend” T-Pain. T-Pain guessed the Frog was Ludacris, while other panelists thought he could be either Tommy Davidson or Omarion.

    Eventually, it was revealed that Kitty, Banana and the Frog were all heading to the Super 9. That meant the singer who was sent home that night was the Taco. For the final guesses, Nicole and Jenny still believed that the Taco was Barry Manilow and Jerry Springer, respectively. Meanwhile, Ken Jeong and Robin guessed Martin Short with T-Pain naming Kelsey Grammer.

    None of them got it correctly because Taco was actually “Dancing with the Stars” host Tom Bergeron.

    James Bond Movie 'No Time to Die' Officially Postponed Due to Coronavirus

    Universal Pictures

    The global coronavirus pandemic has prompted the James Bond bosses to move back the international release of the upcoming 007 feature film from April to November.
    Mar 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The coronavirus spread has forced James Bond bosses to rethink the release of their latest movie, “No Time to Die”.
    The global pandemic has already prompted producers to scrap an upcoming Beijing premiere in China and Asian press tour, and now they’re rescheduling the U.K., U.S. and international release dates in April 2020 following requests to delay the film’s launch from fans online.
    MGM, Eon and Universal executives have agreed to postpone “No Time to Die” and release the movie at the end of November.
    A statement given exclusively to Deadline reads, “MGM, Universal and Bond producers, Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, announced today that after careful consideration and thorough evaluation of the global theatrical marketplace, the release of No Time to Die will be postponed until November 2020.”
    “The film will be released in the U.K. on November 12, 2020 with worldwide release dates to follow, including the U.S. launch on November 25, 2020.”
    The decision comes in the wake of an open letter sent to Bond bosses from the writers of the MI6-HQ fansite, encouraging the studio executives to “put public health above marketing release schedules.”
    “With a month to go before No Time to Die opens worldwide, community spread of the virus is likely to be peaking in the United States,” the letter read. “Today, Washington declared a state of emergency. There is a significant chance that cinemas will be closed, or their attendance severely reduced, by early April.”
    Urging producers to consider delaying the release instead, the missive continues, “It’s just a movie. The health and well-being of fans around the world, and their families, is more important. We have all waited over four years for this film. Another few months will not damage the quality of the film and only help the box office for Daniel Craig’s final hurrah.”
    Craig will be stepping down as 007 after the film’s release.
