    Paramount Pictures

    Bosses at Paramount are reportedly looking into alternate locations for filming the Tom Cruise-starring movie after the number of those affected by the epidemic grows in the country.
    Feb 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Filming on the latest “Mission: Impossible VII” movie in Venice, Italy has been halted due to coronavirus concerns.
    The Tom Cruise movie has been temporarily shut down as Italian government officials continue to put a stop to public gatherings, while the number of those affected by the epidemic grows.
    The action thriller, the seventh in the series, was set to hit the city for three weeks and now bosses at Paramount are looking into alternate locations, according to Deadline.
    The news comes as British singer Mabel pulled the plug on an upcoming Milan gig due to fears about the spread of the disease.
    Italian government officials are battling hard to contain the spread of the virus, placing lockdown restrictions on more than 50,000 people in areas which have experienced cases of the virus, which originated in China late last year (19).
    Cases in Italy have surged from three on Friday to more than 200 on Monday, with seven deaths, prompting tough action from officials.
    Designer Giorgio Armani cancelled his Milan Fashion Week show on Sunday for the health and safety of his models and those planning to attend.

    BTS Spills Their 'Carpool Karaoke' Car Was the Biggest 'Late Late Show' Ever Rented

    Twitter

    Having just released their new album ‘Map of the Soul: 7’, the K-pop sensations share their experience filming scenes for ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’ segment.
    Feb 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Producers at “The Late Late Show with James Corden” had to rent an extra big vehicle when the seven members of BTS (Bangtan Boys) signed on to appear in the Carpool Karaoke segment.
    The K-pop sensations, who released their new album “Map of the Soul: 7” on Friday, February 21, have already filmed their scenes for the show which airs February 25, and they told Entertainment Tonight they were surprised by the experience.
    “It took like three, four hours. I heard it’s the biggest car they ever rented because we’re seven (members). Some van, like, really hot inside,” singer RM shared. “Like, 16 cameras inside and Corden wasn’t driving it. I didn’t know, I thought he really drove, but safety first.”
    Although James Corden usually drives, he’s previously explained that he doesn’t drive the vehicles if the team thinks it might not be safe, due to various production elements.
    The “Boy With Luv” group also confessed they were excited to share new music with fans, and confessed the new record gives a glimpse into “what’s inside our souls”.

    BTS is also going to be embarking on a “Map of the Soul Tour”, which kicks off in April.

    Tami Roman Alludes to Evelyn Lovada Being the Reason of Shaunie O'Neal Fall-Out

    Instagram

    Stopping by Keyshia Cole’s ‘Fox Soul’, Tami explains the current state of her relationship with the her former co-star of the hit VH1 reality TV series which Shaunie also executive produces.
    Feb 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Tami Roman exited “Basketball Wives” last season due to the tension between her and former co-star and friend Shaunie O’Neal. People seem to be curious about the current state of her relationship with Shaunie, and Tami addressed the matter in a recent interview.
    Stopping by Keyshia Cole’s “Fox Soul”, Tami explained, “I thought in my mind that we were close. I thought that we had a camaraderie and sisterhood and mutual respect for each other.” Speaking of her shocking exit at the end of season 8 of the hit VH1 reality show, Tami added, “I found out over the past three seasons that the lack of friendship was shown rather than the sisterhood as it pertained to me, which was unfortunate because I care for Shaunie.”
    “I think that when I went back to the show, ‘Basketball Wives LA’ in 2015, I thought that cast was great. We had [Mehgan James], and we had [Brandi Maxiell], we had [Malaysia Pargo], [Jackie Christie]. I thought it was great. And then 2016 entered what I like to call the demon seed,” she continued.
    Seemingly alluding that Evelyn Lozada was the reason behind her fall-out with Shaunie, Tami shared, “The whole dynamic changed. And for me, it was just not a happy place to be once she returned. And this is no secret. She doesn’t like me, she never has liked me, I tried to be friends, and so now I’ve accepted that she doesn’t like me, so now I don’t like you.”

    “I tried numerous times. I really truly did, and to find out that there were a lot of workings going on behind the scenes and emails being sent and negative, derogatory things being said about my health and my miscarriages all the way up to the network executives, I felt like at that point, that was crossing a line for me. So there was no way we could have ever worked together, for me,” she continued.

    Taiki Waititi Named Potential 'Deadpool 3' Director

    WENN/20th Century Fox/Instar

    Words are the ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ helmer is being considered to fill the director’s chair for the follow-up to 2018’s ‘Deadpool 2′, which is currently in the works.
    Feb 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Taiki Waititi may reunite with Ryan Reynolds for “Deadpool 3”. The “Thor: Ragnarok” helmer is reportedly being eyed to direct the follow-up to 2018’s “Deadpool 2”, which will have the Canadian actor reprising his role as the Merc with a Mouth.
    According to We Got This Covered, the New Zealand filmmaker is one of the names being considered to fill the director’s chair, which remains empty as it was reported in 2016 that Fox was looking for a separate director from “Deadpool 2” to helm the third movie. It’s unknown, though, who else are on the studio’s list of potential director for “Deadpool 3”.
    Back in May 2018, “Deadpool 2” director David Leitch expressed his interest in returning for another Deadpool movie, though he was only signed for the second installment. “I would be grateful to work on something [starring Reynolds’ Deadpool] again. It just depends on time and place, so we’ll see what happens,” he said at the time.
    Despite the success of “Deadpool 2” which set the record for the second-best opening for an R-rated film behind the original, “Deadpool 3” has not been officially announced.
    Following the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney in early 2019, there was a question at which direction the R-rated film franchise would take under the supervision of Disney, which has been focusing on family friendly content. Disney CEO Bob Iger later said that Deadpool would be integrated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and that the company would be willing to make future R-rated Deadpool films “as long as we let the audiences know what’s coming.”
    In October 2019, Reese and Wernick, who penned the first two films, said that they had a script in development, but were waiting for approval from Marvel Studios to begin production on the third film. Reese confirmed, “[Deadpool] will live in the R-rated universe that we’ve created, and hopefully we’ll be allowed to play a little bit in the MCU sandbox as well and incorporate him into that.”
    Later in December 2019, Reynolds said on “Live with Kelly and Ryan” that “Deadpool 3” is in the works. “We’re working on it right now with the whole team,” he said, before adding, “We’re over at Marvel, which is the big leagues all of a sudden. It’s kind of crazy.”
    As for Waititi, he recently won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for writing “Jojo Rabbit”, hereby becoming the first person of Maori descent to win an Oscar. He previously worked with Reynolds when both of them star in 2011’s “Green Lantern”, which ended up being the biggest movie flop in their careers.

    The actress, who portrays Hermione Lodge on the show, has released a statement to TVLine, which reads: “I had an incredible time bringing Hermione Lodge to life and working with my amazing cast, who became family.”
    “We had so many wonderful times together during the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. We really do have the best fans ever. I am looking forward to the next chapter and am excited about the future.”
    Commenting on the exits on Sunday, “Riverdale” showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa said, “Part of life in Riverdale – and part of growing up – is saying goodbye to people. I’m grateful to Skeet and Marisol for their incredible work on the show these last four years, and we all wish them well on their future endeavors.”
    “F.P. and Hermione will never be far from our hearts. And, of course, they’re always welcome back in ‘Riverdale’.”
    Neither castmate will return for the fifth season of the show.

Judges, however, weren’t exactly convinced by her vocals. Luke said no to her, while Katy brought Kay out to hear what public said about her.
