    Gillian Anderson Bears Uncanny Resemblance to Margaret Thatcher in 'The Crown' New Set Photos

    WENN/Avalon

    The former ‘The X-Files’ star was announced to play Thatcher back in September 2019 as she expresses her excitement to have the ‘opportunity to portray such a complicated and controversial woman.’
    Feb 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “The Crown” has always stunned viewers with the amazing casting and styling that makes its cast members perfectly look like the real-life version of the characters they are playing. Recently, Gillian Anderson caught many fans by surprise after photos of her on the set of the Netflix show’s season 4.
    In the new set photos, which were posted by Digital Spy on Tuesday, February 4, Gillian could be seen decked out in appropriate clothing as her character, Margaret Thatcher. Her outfit included a gray padded shoulder suit and puffy barnet.
    Her hair was also styled in short wavy locks, eerily similar to what that the Conservative Prime Minister, who ran the United Kingdom between 1979 and 1990, had at that time. The set photos are from a scene depicting the moment Thatcher, whose nickname was “The Iron Lady”, addressed the press shortly before being elected in 1979.

    The former “The X-Files” star was announced to be playing Thatcher back in September 2019. “I am so excited to be joining the cast and crew of ‘The Crown’ and to have the opportunity to portray such a complicated and controversial woman,” Anderson expressed her excitement in a statement. “Thatcher was undoubtedly formidable but I am relishing exploring beneath the surface and, dare I say, falling in love with the icon who, whether loved or despised, defined an era.”
    While “The Crown” is among the popular series on the streaming giant, the series will end with season 5. Show creator Peter Morgan confirmed the devastating news last week, saying in a statement, “At the outset I had imagined The Crown running for six seasons but now that we have begun work on the stories for season five it has become clear to me that this is the perfect time and place to stop,” he explained.
    “I’m grateful to Netflix and Sony for supporting me in this decision,” he added, before adding that Imelda Staunton would be taking over the role of the Queen Elizabeth II from Olivia Colman in season 5. “I’m absolutely thrilled to confirm Imelda Staunton as Her Majesty The Queen for the fifth and final season, taking The Crown into the 21st Century. Imelda is an astonishing talent and will be a fantastic successor to Claire Foy and Olivia Colman.”
    Season 4, which also stars Emma Corrin as Princess Diana, is set to premiere in late 2020 on Netflix.

    NeNe’s jab doesn’t go unnoticed by fans who are quick to slam her for being petty, though some others are here for NeNe’s comment and jokingly call the 51-year-old ‘Petty Leakes.’
    Feb 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Everyone knows that NeNe Leakes doesn’t have the best relationship with her “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” co-star Kenya Moore, and the former doesn’t event try to make it subtle. NeNe was caught leaving a shady comment underneath a post of “RHOA” clip featuring Kenya having an intense moment with her estranged husband Marc Daly.
    Posted by The Shade Room on Instagram, the video saw Kenya and Marc visiting a venue to plan an upcoming event. Kenya could be seen trying to say something and put out her opinion, but Marc kept interrupting her whenever she tried to speak.
    “#KenyaMoore can’t get a word in with her estranged husband #MarcDaly,” the account wrote in the caption.
    Within an hour of the footage being posted, NeNe took to the comment section to share her reaction to the video and it was the shadiest ever. She left multiple crying and laughing emojis, seemingly showing that she has a good laugh in Kenya’s expense.

    NeNe’s jab didn’t go unnoticed by fans who were quick to slam her. “Nene, that’s not funny tho! Why you laughing at another woman’s pain? Just not funny,” one person wrote. “@neneleakes you’re laughing but your own marriage is pretty fragile,” someone else added with one other saying, “Nene I truly feel sorry for you… you’re absolutely miserable in your life.”
    However, one user loved NeNe’s reaction, commenting, “NeNe you’re petty but I love it!” Another user wrote, “I’m screaming at Nene’s comment!” Some others jokingly called the 51-year-old TV star “Petty Leakes.”
    Meanwhile, some others directed criticism at Marc. “why is his disrespect so funny to you? BC you don’t like @thekenyamoore ? That’s pretty immature to enjoy a man disrespect any women… he’s seems to be a narcissist,” one person noted.
    NeNe and Kenya had been at each others’ throats in the current season 12 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”. The two even nearly got physical in a January episode of the show and Kenya accused NeNe of almost spitting on her during another altercation.
    NeNe, however, denied spitting on Kenya, unlike what she claimed before during interviews. “Do I ever spit on Kenya? No! Why she went and told those lies, is again, to be malicious. And her putting her hand in my face is just a no,” she said in a YouTube video. “She shouldn’t do it and everything should be fair for every single one of us.”

    Teresa Giudice and Danielle Staub 'Won't Be Best Friends Again' After 'RHONJ' Reunion Fallout

    Bravo

    A source claims to the site that while the two look civil in the current episodes of the Bravo reality series, their relationship has since changed after the reunion, which was filmed last month.
    Feb 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Teresa Giudice and Danielle Staub had an intense argument when they filmed season 10 of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” on January 23. And a new report suggests that the two talked it out following the fallout.
    According to HollywoodLife.com, Teresa and Danielle “did have a conversation at the reunion.” A source claims to the site that while the two looked civil in the current episodes of the Bravo reality series, their relationship has since changed after the reunion.
    The source says that the 47-year-old and the 57-year-old “won’t be best friends again.” However, that doesn’t necessarily mean they are beefing.
    “They seemed to figure out a way to be cordial,” the insider adds. “Teresa just doesn’t want to fight with anyone anymore. Her thoughts about life and relationships has completely changed with everything that’s gone on in her life.”
    Of the reunion, the source says, “The RHONJ reunion which taped last week was quite explosive, but there wasn’t as much screaming and yelling as the reunions in the past. The women found better ways to articulate themselves. It’s clear that they’ve matured and grown but it’s still going to be explosive and entertaining.”
    Season 10 will be the last for Danielle as she announced her exit last month. Stopping by “Watch What Happens Live”, she told host Andy Cohen, “I have, over the past 12 years and 10 seasons, been a part of this whole franchise and I’ve been very happy to rally and stand on the platform and be here with all of you, but it is time for me to leave and do something that I want to do that makes my heart happy every day. And so, I will never be returning as a ‘Housewife’ again.”
    As for her plans after exiting “RHONJ”, Danielle said she would start a cooking channel to help her meditate. “I am going to start my own cooking channel,” she said. “Cooking is the therapy to me, so I’m basically calling it ‘Cooking Therapy’. I find my peace in the kitchen.”

    The Academy later explained in another tweet that the predictions were not made by the Academy itself, but by a fan. “We invited fans on Twitter to make and share your #Oscars predictions. A ton of you already have!” it stated. “A brief issue on Twitter made some of yours look like they came from our account. They didn’t. This error is now resolved.” It cheekily added, “And we’ll reveal our picks on Sunday.”

    Disney+ Reveals Release Dates for 'Mandalorian' Season 2, 'WandaVision' Debut and More

    Disney+

    In related news, the new streaming service has successfully amassed 28.6 million Disney+ subscribers in the first three months since it was lauched on November 12, 2019.
    Feb 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – New details about Marvel Studio’s upcoming TV series on Disney+ are finally here. CEO Bob Iger confirms on a call with investors during the company’s first quarter earnings report that “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” and “WandaVision” are set to arrive in the coming months.
    Iger reveals that “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”, which stars Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, will debut in August. Meanwhile, “WandaVision” is set premiere in December. However, Iger doesn’t mention details about “Loki”, though previous report said that the Tom Hiddleston-starring TV show will greet fans in 2021.
    In addition, Iger talks about the release date for the sophomore season of “The Mandalorian”. The “Star Wars” live-action TV series, which became a massive hit for the streaming service, has been confirmed for an October release date.
    In related news, Disney+ amassed 28.6 million Disney+ subscribers in the first three months since it was lauched on November 12, 2019. “We had a strong first quarter, highlighted by the launch of Disney+, which has exceeded even our greatest expectations,” Iger said on the call.
    This arrives after the streaming site offered fans the first footage of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”, “WandaVision” and “Loki” through a Super Bowl ad. The video opened with Falcon a.k.a. Sam Wilson (Mackie) launching Captain America’s signature shield. The new footage also sees Wilson and Stan’s Bucky Barner a.k.a. Winter Soldier reuniting. It also seems that villainous character Zemo, who appeared in “Captain America: Civil War”, makes a return on the upcoming show.
    In the very short video, the three shows are spliced into one. It opens with Falcon a.k.a. Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) launching Captain America’s signature shield. The new footage also sees Wilson and Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barner a.k.a. Winter Soldier reuniting. It also seems that villainous character Zemo, who appeared in “Captain America: Civil War”, makes a return on the upcoming show.
    Later, fans are given a glimpse of Wanda a.k.a. Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) having a sweet moment with each other in a house. “WandaVision” was previously described at Disney’s biennial D23 convention as a surreal sitcom-like take on their relationship.
    Concluding the show is a look at “Loki” featuring Hiddleston reprising his role as the titular character. “Loki” unfortunately has the shortest duration in the already brief video. It remains to be seen where the scene is taken but Loki can be heard saying, “I’m gonna burn this place to the ground,” while creepily smiling.

    Edward Norton Reacts After Accused of Blocking Janeane Garofalo From 'Fight Club' Role

    WENN/Avalon

    The ‘Birdman’ actor denies allegations that he barred Janeane Garofalo from David Fincher’s 1999 movie because he wanted then-girlfriend Courtney Love for the role.
    Feb 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Edward Norton has hit back after Janeane Garofalo blamed him for her losing out on a role in David Fincher’s hit movie “Fight Club”.
    During an interview with Build Series, Janeane revealed that she’d been up for the role of Marla Singer in the 1999 film, and “met with David Fincher, who handed me the script and said, ‘If you like it, the part is yours.’ ”
    However, the 55-year-old actress claims she was shot down and “was told that he (Edward) would like Courtney Love to do it, because he was dating her, but Brad Pitt said, ‘I’m not going to sign off on that.’ So, they agreed on Helena Bonham Carter, who was probably much better than I would have been.”
    Following Janeane’s allegations, Edward set the record straight in a chat with CNN, during which he said he’s “sorry Janeane is under that impression, but if she was serious, she’s really mistaken.”
    “David Fincher does exactly what he wants,” he added. “He makes the call on every dimension of his films, top to bottom. I don’t recall him ever even raising the subject of who he was considering for most other roles.”
    “The one suggestion I made, he shot down. I was a big fan of Janeane’s so I’d have loved to do a reading with her.”
