    WENN/FayesVision

    The ‘Ouija House’ actress is reportedly axed from the rebooted reality television show because her storyline is bland and she doesn’t bring enough drama.
    Mar 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Mischa Barton has reportedly been axed from the reboot of U.S. reality TV show “The Hills” – for being “too boring.”
    The actress was a big signing for bosses ahead of the premiere of the relaunched series, but has failed to impress viewers.
    Production sources told TMZ.com that she’s the only member of the cast of the first series of the reboot not to be invited back for the second, with an insider adding, “Producers found Mischa’s storyline a bit bland, and her personality a little boring. Bottom line, she wasn’t bringing much drama to the show.”
    Now execs are said to be considering a replacement for the former star of “The O.C.”, with potential candidates allegedly including socialite Caroline D’Amore.
    Brody Jenner is among the original cast members set to return for the second series, with TMZ reporting he negotiated a new deal with bosses which will see him bring in around $50,000 an episode.

    The ‘Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw’ actor has allegedly pulled out of his new movie because he wants an R-rated movie while the studio leans towards a PG-13 release.
    Mar 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jason Statham has reportedly pulled out of his role in “The Man From Toronto” just four weeks from the start of production.
    According to Deadline, the 52-year-old actor is exiting the project due to “creative issues,” including a desire for the film to be R rated as opposed to the studio’s plans for a PG-13 release.
    However, the studio is reportedly already working on a replacement for Statham in the action-comedy film, which also stars Kevin Hart and will be directed by Patrick Hughes.
    The “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” star was due to play the world’s deadliest assassin, the “Man from Toronto” of the title, alongside the “Jumanji: The Next Level” funnyman. Their characters are mistaken for each other, at a rented New York Airbnb pad, and are forced to team up for a mission.
    The film is slated for a November 20, 2020 release.

    'Black Ink Crew': Young Bae Punches Miss Kitty on Her Face

    VH1

    Additionally, Kitty is at odds with the majority of ‘Black Ink Crew: New York’ cast as some of her former co-stars, including Tati and Donna, feel betrayed by Kitty’s move to Chicago.
    Mar 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – With Miss Kitty moving from “Black Ink Crew: New York” to “Black Ink Crew: Chicago”, more drama is coming to the latter. The midseason premiere, which was aired on February 26, hinted at the tension between Miss Kitty and Young Bae, and a new report details how ugly the fight actually is.
    According to MTO News, the Korean tattoo artist punched Kitty in the face and the two continued fighting in front of camera. The face-punching seemingly took place after the altercation, which was featured in the trailer, escalated further.
    The clip saw Bae attacking Kitty with her purse after knowing that the latter setting up shop with the “Chicago” cast. “You a f***ing punk a** b***h!” she yelled.
    The altercation aside, Kitty is at odds with the majority of “Black Ink Crew: New York” cast as some of her former co-stars, including Tati, Bae and Donna, felt betrayed by Kitty’s move. That led Tati to spread rumors of Kitty sleeping with “Black Ink Crew: Chicago” cast member Ryan Henry, who is an ally of Kitty’s ex-boyfriend Caesar Emanuel.
    Not taking the rumors well, Caesar was livid. “The audacity of this motherf***er,” Caesar said in the midseason trailer. “I was his friend, I was his mentor, and you got the nerve to mess with one of my exes and throw it in my face. Man, f**k that! It wouldn’t be no 9MAG without Ceaser, yo!”

    Fans were not happy to see how everyone treated Kitty as one urged, “So sad how they ganging up on kit. leave that girl alone. They are MISERABLE and it really shows !!!” Another fan thought that the “Chicago” cast members were so worried about kitty. “Don alone will beat the WHOLE shop up. Donna tati & bae are some real life HATERS,” one added.
