    '90 Day Fiance' Star Anna-Marrie Campisi Denies Rumors She Fakes Mursel Mistanoglu's Return From Tur

    TLC

    While Anna is excited for Mursel’s return, it’s not the case for Anna’s eldest child Joey who is against his mother going forward with her marriage with Mursel.
    Jan 28, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Amid speculations that Mursel Mistanoglu’s return to the U.S. was all fake story for ratings and he never returned to Turkey in the first place, “90 Day Fiance” star Anna-Marie Campisi has set the records straight. She decided to end the rumors for once and all during her recent Instagram Live broadcast.
    During the broadcast, a fan asked the Bellvue, Nebraska native, “Is it true Mursel never left to Turkey?” The 38-year-old TLC personality then responded, “Mursel did leave to turkey. It’s really true.”
    It was revealed in the Sunday, January 26 episode of the network’s hit reality show that Mursel would soon reunite with Anna as he’s set to return to the U.S. after leaving for Turkey. Mursel shared that his parents changed their minds after he told them that he still loves Anna, and his same K-1 visa was amazingly approved and he was headed back to the United States.
    “When Mursel left to go back to Turkey, I was really heartbroken and he called me saying that his parents said that we could get married,” she explained in the episode. “I was in disbelief and I guess I just, in that moment I was so angry at him for leaving. But, you know, I still love him.”
    “It doesn’t really happen often but you may be able to come back on the same K-1 visa,” Anna explained. “Like, I can’t believe we’re even getting an opportunity for this interview. This whole thing is just crazy.”
    While Anna was excited for Mursel’s return, it was not the case for Anna’s eldest child Joey. He was against the reconciliation even though Anna’s two younger sons, Gino and Leo, said they were OK with the wedding being back on. Joey said he didn’t even want to attend, in addition to telling TLC cameras that he felt like his mother was making a mistake.

    Meanwhile, the menu in the lobby at the Dolby Theater before the Academy Awards will be entirely plant-based.
    “The Academy is an organization of storytellers from around the world, and we owe our global membership a commitment to supporting the planet,” a statement from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences reads.

    Terry Crews Says He Will Never Stand Up for Gabrielle Union and Explains Why

    WENN/Nicky Nelson

    In response to the criticisms against him, the ‘America’s Got Talent’ host suggests it’s not his job to ‘take care’ of other women, not even his mother and daughters.
    Jan 28, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Terry Crews finally addressed criticisms on why he didn’t defend former “America’s Got Talent” judge Gabrielle Union despite her support for him when he opened up on his sexual assault ordeal in the past. The “AGT” host said it’s true he would never speak up for her and explained why.
    “There is only one woman one earth I have to please. Her name is Rebecca,” he wrote on Twitter, referring to his wife. He even refused to defend his mother, daughters, or sisters. “I will let their husbands/ boyfriends/ partners take care of them,” he said. “Rebecca gives me WINGS.”
    He was flooded with comments on social media due to his remarks. Even T.I. couldn’t resist leaving a comment on an Instagram post by The Shade Room. While he didn’t say any word, he left an emoji with zipped-up lips.

    Many criticized Crews and one of them wrote, “Man… this is a terrible thing to think, let alone say. You may not believe you have to please them… but they deserve the same humane treatment you requested and required when it was your turn to be the person in need of support. Damn, man… it really isn’t that hard.”
    Another commented, “I don’t care whether they have a man or not, better believe I will protect my family tirelessly. Who says something like that??”

    Tamra Judge Exits 'RHOC' Due to Reduced Salary and 'Humiliating' Demotion

    Bravo TV

    Prior to his, co-star Vicky Gulvalson shared that she left the Bravo show on Friday, January 24, writing on Instagram, ‘I will always be the OG of the OC, but it’s time to say goodbye to ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’.’
    Jan 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Upcoming season 15 of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” will lose another one of its cast members. According to a new report, Tamra Judge is walking away from the Bravo reality series, and her decision was prompted by the salary pittance that’s offered to her.
    “Bravo bosses wanted Tamra to be bridge from the old cast to the new in season 15 and she refused,” a source spilled to Radar Online. “Tamra got her pick up contract letter last, after the other ladies, and it had major conditions in it.”
    The source added that Tamra “was even more than demoted to a friend role” which meant that “she’d have very little camera time. And it meant she would earn next to nothing in reality TV terms.”
    “She would go from $900,000 a season to $20,000 an episode for just three show appearances, which would add up to $60,000 total. It was humiliating,” so the insider went on sharing. “So Tamra walked away.”
    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.”
    Another source told the site that the TV star was “asked back for three episodes, so producers could close out her storyline.”
    Tamra revealed that her husband Eddie Judge and her children, sons Ryan Vieth, 34, and Spencer Barney 19, and daughter Sydney Barney, 21, and Sophia Barney, 14, “are very excited for her new chapter. “I want to thank all the fans who have offered me their support over the years. It’s meant a lot. I’m sad to go but I’m very excited about my future,” the Vena Wellness owner added.
    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!’ ”
    “My podcast with Westwood One will be launching soon and I will have much more to say about this on Whoop It Up with Vicki,” she wrote. “I hope you will join me with my new journey so please stay tuned. I love all my fans, and I want to thank Bravo and Evolution for this incredible experience, which my family and I have will never forget.”

    “We have shared so many great and not so great times together and it has been the ride of our lives. Thelma and Louise …. now where do you want to go?!” she added.

    Vivica A. Fox Hopes Jussie Smollett Makes a Return for 'Empire' Finale

    FOX

    During an appearance on ‘The Talk’, the actress portraying Candace Mason on the Lee Daniels-created series points out that the decision to bring back the Jamal Lyon depicter lies with the network.
    Jan 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Vivica A. Fox has urged TV bosses to bring Jussie Smollett back for the “Empire” finale.
    The actor has not appeared on the show since he was charged with wasting police time over an alleged race attack hoax in Chicago, Illinois last year (2019), and as the investigation into the incident and his subsequent arrest and release continues, Fox entertainment president Michael Thorn has made it clear that any talk of Smollett’s return should be ignored.
    But Vivica, who plays Candace on “Empire”, is hoping TV bosses see sense and bring his character, Jamal Lyon, back for one final episode before the drama wraps later this year (2020).
    “I love Jussie and I always will,” she tells “The Talk”. “He’s family. Things happen. We started the show with him and in my honest opinion, I’d love to finish it with him, but it is up to the network.”

    Speaking about creator Lee Daniels’ decision to cut Jussie on “Watch What Happens Live” in November (2019), she said, “There was just too much drama surrounding the circumstances… (but) don’t count him out. Y’all may see him.”
