    Kelly Dodd and Shannon Beador May Return to 'RHOC' Following Tamra Judge's Exit

    Instagram

    An insider claims that Kelly and Shannon are both thrilled for the offer to return for upcoming season 15 of the Bravo reality series, but they are allegedly approaching the show in different ways.
    Jan 31, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “The Real Housewives of Orange County” cast members come and go. After Tamra Judge and Vicki Gulvanson decided to leave the show ahead of season 15, it is reported that the Bravo reality show is trying to get Kelly Dodd and Shannon Beador back for the show.
    A source reveals to HollywoodLife.com, “Kelly and Shannon have been asked to return to the show.” The insider goes on saying that both Kelly and Shannon are both thrilled for the offer, but they are allegedly approaching the show in different ways. Kelly is reportedly excited while Shannon is “now going to have a chance to move past her issues with Kelly” in the forthcoming season.
    Shannon was one third of the “tres amigas” along with Tamra and Vicki. She “got a lot of flack on social media about being a third wheel,” but now she will be able to “shine” as she has “always been authentic.”
    Tamra announced her departure on Saturday, January 25. Speaking to PEOPLE, Tamra, who had been on the show for 12 seasons, said, “It’s been a wild ride, and after all these years, I’m looking forward to life away from the cameras. I was offered a chance to come back to the show in a limited role, but would prefer to walk away on my own terms.”
    Prior to his, co-star Vicki Gulvalson shared that she left the show on Friday, January 24. “I will always be the OG of the OC, but it’s time to say goodbye to ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’,” the 57-year-old wrote on Instagram, before referencing her famous party catchphrase. “It’s been an incredible ride for 14 years and I want to thank all of you for your support, for your love and for ‘whooping it up!’ ”
    In response to their departures, Kelly was allegedly “honestly excited that Vicki and Tamra aren’t going to be returning.” Shannon, meanwhile, “will miss her friends,” claims the source.
    “Kelly and Shannon both would love to have their men on the show but that will need to be worked out still,” the informant explains about their partners. “No contracts have been signed and they’re still talking to the ladies about getting new wives as there will definitely be new faces on this season.”

    Sebastian Stan Appears to Diss Captain America and Bucky's Ending in 'Avengers: Endgame'

    Marvel Studios

    The Bucky Barnes depicter agrees with a fan who is taken aback by the ‘out-of-character writing’ for his character and Steve Rogers’ storyline in the last ‘Avengers’ movie.
    Jan 31, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Sebastian Stan is apparently not a fan of the ending of Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers’ storyline in “Avengers: Endgame”. Almost a year since the movie was released in theaters, the actor has just let his actual feelings be known about Chris Evans’ Captain America passing his shield to Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson instead of his longtime friend Bucky.
    The Romanian-born actor posted on Instagram Stories a screenshot of a fan’s complaint on Twitter about the so-called “out-of-character writing” in regards to Steve and Bucky’s friendship in the movie. The fan reacted to a post by Marvel U.K. & Ireland’s official Twitter account which wrote, “Together until the end of the line,” along with a photo of then-skinny Steve and Bucky in his soldier outfit.
    The said fan replied sarcastically to the post, “together until the end of the line. Or until bad, inconsistent, out-of character writing turns Steve Rogers into his own anti-thesis. Shouldn’t it be ‘together until the end of the lie’ now?” Stan added a flushed face emoji over it.
    Apparently understanding Stan’s feelings, “Star Wars” actor John Boyega posted on Twitter, “Welcome Mr Stan ! Welcome,” along with a gif of Emperor Palpatine laughing. Boyega himself has previously shaded the decision regarding the franchise’s handling of Rey, Finn and Kylo Ren relationship in “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker”.
    Stan has not responded to Boyega’s tweet and it’s not clear if he was just trolling “The Avengers” franchise with his post. Regardless of his apparent shade, the 37-year-old clearly has no issue being a part of the MCU as he’s currently working with Mackie again on Disney+ series “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”, for which they reprise their respective role.
    Set after events in the 2019 “Avengers: Endgame”, the upcoming series will also bring back Daniel Bruhl and Emily VanCamp who have previously starred in 2016’s “Captain America: Civil War”. The new series is expected to premiere in late 2020.

    James Corden Explains Confusion About Who Drives on 'Carpool Karaoke' After Viral Video

    WENN/Instar

    In the Wednesday night, January 29, episode of his show ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’, the British host addressed the controversial ‘scandal’ in a mock seriousness.
    Jan 31, 2020
    AceShowbiz – James Corden has addressed the speculations that he doesn’t drive the car on “Carpool Karaoke” after a fan video, featuring a car with him and Justin Bieber inside being towed on a platform behind a larger vehicle. The clip successfully shocked everyone who thought that James drives the car for all this time. Now, the host has decided to come clean about the “scandal.”
    In the Wednesday night, January 29, episode of his show “The Late Late Show with James Corden”, James addressed the issue in a mock seriousness. “I want to assure you that these accusations are not true. I am of course talking about the people saying that I don’t drive the car during ‘Carpool Karaoke’.”
    “I know this looks bad,” the British host said. “But I just want to say right now that I always drive the car unless we’re doing something that we think might not be safe, like a dance routine or a costume change … or if I’m drunk,” he joked.
    “In the case of Justin Bieber it was a safety issue where we thought it was best to tow the car. Frankly, I just kept getting lost in his eyes,” he continued saying, before reading some headlines calling the scandal was “the worst lie since Santa” and the web series itself “TV’s biggest con.”
    “I’m just shocked I’ve done something that’s upset people more than ‘Cats’,” he said. James later flashed a list of the five instances in which his car was towed during the filming of an episode of “Carpool Karaoke”, including Migos, Cardi B and Justin. “I am nothing if not a man of integrity. I swear to you, 95% of the time, I really am endangering the lives of the world’s biggest pop stars.”

    James himself initially just laughed it off the speculations. Taking it to the official Twitter account of the late night account, the British host joked, “guys, we don’t even use a real car,” alongside a photo of him and Samuel L. Jackson filming CGI scene while holding a car steering wheel control.
    The show then set the records straight in a statement. “James always drives during ‘Carpool Karaoke,” the statement read. “However, on the rare occasion when there is a stunt component and the producers feel it is unsafe to drive, we will use a rig (tow).”

    Meghan McCain on Whoopi Goldberg 'The View' Fight: 'She Was Having a Bad Day'

    ABC

    During her appearance on ‘WWHL’, the 35-year-old conservative host also addresses rumors of her beefing with Abby Huntsman and that was the reason for her to leave the show.
    Jan 31, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Unlike what has been reported, Meghan McCain is not feuding with any of her co-hosts on “The View”. The 35-year-old conservative host stopped by “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” on Thursday, January 30 and she was more than happy to set the record straight.
    When asked about the time when Whoopi Goldberg asked her to stop talking during a heated argument, Meghan explained, “It was rough and I’d say that she was having a bad day, and we talked about it that night and the next day.”
    “You know, it’s live TV and it’s really intense, stressful times for anyone. I adore her; she apologized off air, she apologized on air,” she continued defending Whoopi. “We all f**ked up on the show. It’s live, it’s every day and I forgive her and I love her.”
    Meghan even said that she wouldn’t continue being on the show should Whoopi leave.”Whoopi is the anchor of the show, my life there; she always picks us up when we’re down. But, if she jumps, I jump. I adore her and I need her as the moderator.”
    The said heated argument took place in the December 16 episode of “The View”, in which they were discussing President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial. Co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar were trying to speak but Meghan cut them off, prompting Whoopi to say to Meghan, “Girl, please stop talking, please stop talking right now.” Meghan then responded, “I won’t talk for the rest of the show,” to which Whoopi replied, “I’m okay with that. I’m okay with that! If you’re going to behave like this. You’re talking over people.”
    During her appearance on “WWHL”, Meghan also addressed rumors of her beefing with Abby Huntsman and that was the reason for her to leave “The View”. Explaining that she and Abby have been friends for so many years, Meghan admitted that they did have a small fight.

    “It was a very small fight, a friend fight,” Meghan said. “All friendships have their ups and downs, and it was bizarre to me, and I think bizarre for her, that the fact that we got into one fight during the two years we worked on the show was… weaponized.”

    Linda Hamilton Gets Real About Being Done With 'Terminator' Franchise

    Paramount Pictures

    While she would be ‘quite happy to never return,’ the Sarah Connor depicter does suggest that future movies ‘should definitely not be such a high-risk financial venture.’
    Jan 31, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Linda Hamilton would be happy to “never return” to “The Terminator” franchise – unless she can star in a stripped down smaller film.
    The 63-year-old actress returned to the franchise after nearly three decades for “Terminator: Dark Fate” last year (19), which received strong reviews but disappointed at the box office – putting creator James Cameron’s plans for a trilogy in jeopardy.
    Linda says that she’d be happy to not make another “Terminator” film – but if plans for a new movie go ahead, she insisted it should be less risky financially, with fewer expensive special effects.
    “Something says to me… I don’t know. I would really appreciate maybe a smaller version where so many millions are not at stake,” she tells The Hollywood Reporter. “Today’s audience is just so unpredictable.”
    “I can’t tell you how many laymen just go, ‘Well, people don’t go to the movies anymore.’ That’s not Hollywood analysis; that just comes out of almost everybody’s mouth.”
    Revealing she doesn’t think that she’ll return, Linda adds: “It should definitely not be such a high-risk financial venture, but I would be quite happy to never return. So, no, I am not hopeful because I would really love to be done.”
    “But, if there were something new that really spoke to me, I am a logical person, and I will always consider viable changes.”

    Blake Lively Considers Reactions to Her 'Rhythm Section' Transformation 'Very Offensive'

    Paramount Pictures

    Speaking to Jimmy Fallon, the star in this Reed Morano-directed action film stresses that the images people mistakenly thought as before and after makeup actually took an hour to produce.
    Jan 31, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Blake Lively has spoken out after fans mistook a set of images from behind the scenes of her new movie “The Rhythm Section” for before and after shots from a make-up session.
    The 32-year-old star plays a grieving widow who sets out for revenge after discovering the plane crash that killed her family wasn’t an accident, and for part of the movie sports a haggard look.
    Blake shared snaps of her changing appearance in the flick online but, speaking on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”, she revealed fans completely misunderstood the point of the images – which she found “very offensive.”
    “(The make-up artist) did this really rough look, because my (character’s) family has experienced a lot of tragedy,” she explained. “And then this after I clean up but when I posted it, people were saying, ‘Wow, Blake bravely shows what she looks like before and after makeup.’ ”
    “Some people think that’s what I look like without makeup (pointing at the after picture), which I find very offensive because that takes an hour for her to make me look like that.”
    She added, “I’m sort of vacillating between my vanity, which is like wanting to be like, ‘I don’t actually look like that!’ But also being a feminist and being like, ‘Why do we expect women to wake up looking like this? This isn’t realistic that you wake up this beautiful!’ But I would like people to believe that I wake up looking this beautiful.”
