    Gabrielle Union Fires Back at Terry Crews After He Refutes Her Racism Claims Against 'AGT'

    NBC

    The ‘Being Mary Jane’ actress promises to soon share her side of the story since the ‘America’s Got Talent’ host has already spoken out before the investigation is completed.
    Jan 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Gabrielle Union reacted after Terry Crews threw her under the bus in his recent TV interview. He refuted the racism claims made by the “Being Mary Jane” actress following her departure from “America’s Got Talent”. He also wondered why she hadn’t released an official statement.
    In response, Union took to Twitter to explain to her followers that there was an investigation going on regarding the issues and she waited for it to be completed before speaking out. However, she promised to soon reveal her side of the story since the host of the NBC talent show had already shared his.
    The former “AGT” judge hinted that she’s going to take a page out of Crews’ book and go on television for an interview as well. “Maaaaaan… We all agreed to let the investigation be completed before speaking but if we doing this… ohhhhh baby let’s gooooooooooo!” she tweeted.
    She also wrote, “Truth telling, wanting change & having MULTIPLE witnesses who bravely came forward to let EVERYONE know I didn’t lie or exaggerate, really exposes those who enthusiastically will throw you under the bus, forgetting quickly who stepped up 4 THEIR truth.”
    She added, “Can someone please ask abt what happens to all that diversity folks are talking about BEHIND THE SCENES. Like, legit… where the hell is all that diversity in the production though homie? In the decision making ranks who control the fate of the diversity in front of the camera?”
    Crews previously addressed Union’s controversial exit on “3rd Hour of Today”. “First of all I can’t speak for sexism because I’m not a woman, but I can speak on behalf on any racism comments,” he said. “That was never my experience on ‘America’s Got Talent’, in fact, it was the most diverse place I have ever been in my 20 years of entertainment. The Top 10 acts were asian, women, older, younger, black, white, it was everything in the gamut.”
    He continued, “When you look at what the allegations were about, it was given by an unnamed source. My thing is – it’s funny because I believe you should listen to women, you should always believe women so I asked my wife what I should do. She was like, ‘first of all, if it’s coming from an unnamed source – because Gabrielle Union has not made any statement to this day about any of these allegations publicly – …if she hasn’t made a statement, why would you?’ ”
    While Terry Crews along with Julianne Hough and Heidi Klum spoke in favor of the Simon Cowell-produced show, former judges Howard Stern and Sharon Osbourne supported Gabrielle Union.
    Stern said it’s “obvious” that Cowell “sets it up that the men stay, no matter how ugly they are, no matter how old they are, no matter how fat they are, no matter how talentless they are” while constantly replacing “the hot chicks with hotter chicks and younger chicks.”
    Osbourne agreed the “AGT” was a boys’ club. “The boys take care of each other and the women are not paid as much as the men,” she said, adding that Howie Mandel was hired and offered a private plane while she would fly commercial to live auditions.

    Wendy Williams Denies Farting on Her Live Show

    CBS

    The ‘Wendy Williams Show’ host insists she didn’t fart and her stagehand backs up her claim by saying the sound happened when they filled a fish tank for guest Dr. Kate Biberdorf.
    Jan 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Wendy Williams has hit back at claims she farted on live television, insisting she “would have been laughing” if she had.
    “The Wendy Williams Show” host went viral after fans became convinced they spotted the star passing gas while presenting her Hot Topics segment on January 17, 2020.
    However, on Thursday’s January 23 episode, Wendy addressed the speculation, playing the footage and telling the audience, “I have never farted once on this show. As a matter of fact, I barely fart, you know why? Because gas gets released several different ways and mine is belching, because all I do is talk.”
    “Let me tell you something right now, okay? I don’t lean over like this to release a fart, I lean over like this because it’s comfortable. If I sit (straight up) all the time, it’s heavy on my spine. I don’t have the back. I’m not trying to get the back. I like to release my hips and lean, you know what I’m saying?… I’ve been doing this for 11 years on this show!”
    She also told the crowd that had she let one rip, she wouldn’t have been able to conceal her amusement.
    “I would have definitely been laughing because farts are always funny. You know a girl like me would have been laughing at that!” she giggled.
    The star also made reference to the noise fans heard in the clip, adding, “By the sound of that fart, I would have had to go change my costume! I would have left a mark in the seat. I wouldn’t even save the costume, I would have thrown it away. It’d probably be soiled beyond soiled-tivity.”
    Stagehand John Anderson also weighed in on the controversy, explaining that the sound had happened while he and his team were setting up for a segment with scientific author Dr. Kate Biberdorf.

    “We were filling up a fish tank backstage and we didn’t have the proper hose. The air was just coming out and it was sputtering like someone was farting. Okay? So that’s what it was. It wasn’t Wendy!” he said.

    Fans Baffled to Learn James Corden Isn't Always Driving During 'Carpool Karaoke'

    CBS

    Fans are surprised to learn the revelation after watching viral behind-the-scenes footage of the popular ‘The Late Late Show’ segment as one Twitter user jokes, ‘It should be called Carpull Karaoke.’
    Jan 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – When it comes to “Carpool Karaoke”, people are naturally thinking that it was the fun times when James Corden is driving car around the city with stars joining them as they are singing inside the car. However, a new video that circulated online appeared to show that James wasn’t actually driving.
    The said video, which was shared by a Twitter user, offered a behind-the-scenes of the popular segment of “The Late Late Show with James Corden”. James was seen to be filming for an upcoming episode with Justin Bieber. However, the thing that caught fans’ attention the most was that James wasn’t actually driving as the car was being pulled by a truck.
    “Saw James Corden and Justin Bieber filming Carpool Karaoke and this is why I have trust issues–he isn’t even driving!” the Twitter user, @ZoliHonig, wrote on blue bird app. “Next thing you know they gonna tell us that his friends don’t *actually* need a ride,” he added.
    Fans were also surprised to learn the revelation after watching the footage. “It should be called Carpull Karaoke,” one user joked. “MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN A LIE,” another added.
    However, one person insisted that he saw James driving while filming other episodes. “Y’all when I saw One Direction filming Carpool Karaoke James was actually driving,” the person tweeted.
    James himself 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.

    James Corden laughed off speculations that he didn’t drive on ‘Carpool Karaoke’.
    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).”

    'Power' Star Michael Rainey Gets '326 Death Threats' Amid Claims His Character Shot Ghost

    Starz

    Naturi Naughton, who portrays his mother and Ghost’s wife Tasha, is among those who react to the revelation in the comment section of Michael’s recent Instagram post.
    Jan 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Some people apparently can’t separate fictional characters from real life actors. As hit Starz “Power” is coming to an end, fans of the series are getting wild and that includes to harass one of its cast members for allegedly killing their favorite character on the TV series.
    The leading man of the show James “Ghost” St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick) has been killed and people are eager to find out who was the culprit. Now, a leaked version of the ending shows that the one who shot the fan-favorite character was none other than James’ son Tariq, played by Michael Rainey Jr., because he had a serious vendetta against his father.
    In the clip Tariq could be seen telling Ghost, “I can’t go back,” to which the latter responded, “Hey, son, I love you, okay?” Tariq then pulled the trigger.
    That seemingly drove fans mad. Their strong attachment to the story appeared to make them think it was okay to harass the actor in real life as Michael took to his Instagram account to rant about the numerous death threats he’s been receiving over the plot of the TV show he’s starring on.
    Sharing on Instagram on Wednesday, January 22 a slew of pictures of him donning a confused expression, Michael wrote in the caption, “Me going through my dms tryna figure out why I have 326 death threat messages.”

    Naturi Naughton, who portrays his mother and Ghost’s wife Tasha, was among those who reacted to the revelation in the comment section. She apparently found that funny yet unnecessary as she left a couple of laughing and face-palming emojis. La La Anthony, who plays LaKeisha Grant on the show, also commented, putting some face-palming emojis.
    “Strange world we live in. SMH!!! It’s just a show people,” a fan wrote. Meanwhile, some fans praised him for his stunning performance on the series. “Cause you play the hell out of that Power role, my man.. keep shinning Bro!” one fan wrote.
    The final and sixth season of “Power” airs on Sundays at 8 P.M. ET.

    Terry Crews Praises 'AGT' as the 'Most Diverse Place' Amid Gabrielle Union's Controversial Firing

    WENN/Nicky Nelson

    The host of the NBC talent competition show also shares on ‘3rd Hour of Today’ that he goes to his wife, Rebecca King-Crews, for advice regarding what he should do in the situation.
    Jan 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Terry Crews has weighed in on reports that former “America’s Got Talent” judge Gabrielle Union was effectively fired from the NBC competition show in November over sexism and racism issue. The show’s host addressed the issue while stopping by on “3rd Hour of Today” on Thursday, January 23.
    “First of all I can’t speak for sexism because I’m not a woman, but I can speak on behalf on any racism comments,” he said, noting that he never experienced any sort of racism while working on the show. “That was never my experience on ‘America’s Got Talent’, in fact, it was the most diverse place I have ever been in my 20 years of entertainment. The Top 10 acts were asian, women, older, younger, black, white, it was everything in the gamut.”
    Terry went on saying that the racism allegations were never publicly confirmed by Gabrielle and first emerged from an unnamed source. “Now I have to say this too. When you look at what the allegations were about, it was given by an unnamed source.”
    He also shared that he went to his wife, Rebecca King-Crews, for advice regarding what he should do in the situation. “It’s funny, because I believe you should listen to women, you should always believe women, so I asked my wife what I should do,” he explained. “She was like, first of all, if it’s coming from an unnamed source, because Gabrielle Union has not made any statement to this day about any of these allegations publicly.”
    Terry wasn’t the only one who claimed that they never experience bad things on the show. Heidi Klum, who served as a judge on the show for six years, recently shared that “everyone treats you with the utmost respect. I’ve never seen anything that was weird or hurtful.”
    “Six years I was there. I loved it. Of course, there’s always this cat and dog fight, but this is fun. … I mean also it’s like, ‘Everyone relax a little bit.’ For me, being on television, I want to entertain people. I want people to have a good time,” the former “Project Runway” host explained. “I want people to, like, get away from their life for two hours and just have fun and enjoy.”
    Meanwhile, Julianne Hough, who was also ousted at the same time as Gabrielle, revealed on “Today Show” back in December that she applauded Gabrielle for standing up for herself. “When I see that comment there that excites me so much because that is what we need to start conversations and I just commend Gabrielle for speaking her truth and starting a conversation,” she said.
    “And I’m really proud of NBC as well for showing up and starting a narrative and that’s what’s going to change the workplace and the paradigm that we’ve been working in for many, many years. It’s shifting and that’s really exciting,” she added.
    Following her firing, which reportedly was resulted from her rising concern about the “toxic” work environment, Gabrielle wrote on Twitter, “So many tears, so much gratitude. Just when you feel lost, adrift, alone … you got me up off the ground. Humbled and thankful, forever.”
    The actress later talked about workplace inequalities during a female empowerment and inclusivity panel back in mid December. “Don’t be the happy negro that does the bidding of the status quo because you’re afraid. Don’t allow them to call you angry when someone else is called passionate. It’s terrifying. There’s a solid chance you’ll lose your job … I speak from experience,” she shared.

    Interview: Rob Thorman on ‘Head Of State’

    the great thing about the VAULT Festival is that it’s a genuine Fringe Festival

    With the VAULT Festival almost upon us, there is an abundance of fresh new shows to be seen. One such show is Head Of State, which will be having its world premiere beneath Waterloo Station. But before it does, Everything Theatre caught up with Rob Thorman, writer, director and founder of Grande Productions, to ask about the show, the importance of the festival and what some might call his obsession with Ariana Grande.
    Your show’s called Head of State, what’s it all about then?
    Head of State follows Mo – the newly-elected leader of the fictional country Nechora – as he accidentally becomes an over-the-phone therapist to the world’s most powerful leaders.
    So did you have certain world leaders in mind when you were writing?
    I was actually actively trying to ensure that the characters of the different foreign leaders weren’t going to be confused with contemporary ones. Rather than explore the idiosyncrasies of the politicians of the moment, I was trying to get under the skin of countries’ national psyches more generally and explore whether I could distil every country’s complex national problems into a single personality disorder. I’ll let the audience be the judge of how successfully I’ve managed that. On the otherhand, Mo’s character was very much inspired by some of the real-life politicians that I admire the most; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Faiza Shaheen and Magid Magid.
    The show is billed as satire, do you fear that satire is becoming more difficult given some of the real-life events going on all around us?
    I think that’s a really important and interesting question which the industry at large hasn’t quite figured out the answer to yet. How can you parody the real world when it already feels so absurd? For me, the answer is that when reality descends into farce, satire must descend into fantasy. Aristophanes, one of the earliest satirists, had the most incredible and fantastical plots: characters travelling down to the underworld to find a decent playwright, characters running away to build a new perfect city in the clouds, women going on a sex strike to bring about peace.. . Aristophanes lived in a time when the direct democracy at Athens was packed with politicians who were capitalising on fervent nationalism and making populist decisions that felt absolutely bonkers to a lot of contemporary commentators… Sound familiar!? So to answer your question, no I don’t think satire is becoming more difficult at all, it just needs to be reinvented to reflect the unreal reality we’re living through. I fear the direction the world is heading in; I don’t fear the fate of satire!
    Your production company is called Grande Productions and you confess to a love of Ariana Grande. Do you think she would enjoy the show if she came to see it?

    Rob and cast at script read through

    I mean, if she didn’t, I’m not sure I could cope. As Akshay, who plays Mo, said after our readthrough, there are some seriously deep cuts of Ariana’s catalogue in there – the show doesn’t just take her charting hits, you know? Also, a few months ago, Ariana came out in support of Bernie (Sanders) so I feel like she’d be a big fan of Mo and everything he’s trying to do… Right? RIGHT!?!
    The show is seeing its first life at The VAULT Festival, how important do you think this festival is becoming for both London and new theatre makers? Do you feel it has helped open new avenues to shows such as yours?
    For me, the great thing about the VAULT Festival is that it’s a genuine Fringe Festival. For a start, it’s much more affordable and possible to put on a show. Then there’s a sense that people will seek out new shows and explore what’s on there, especially as the programmers have made a real effort to commission a ton of shows that are all contemporary, relevant and engaged with what’s going on in the world today. I was able to ‘just’ fill in an application and be given a slot, even though I really don’t have much experience of theatre. It’s definitely a fantastic avenue and resource for Londoners looking to put on theatre and get their work out there, so I’m incredibly grateful for everything the people at the VAULT Festival do.
    What can we expect next, for both yourself and Head of State?
    Well, I’m expecting a phone call from Hollywood asking me when I can fly out and why I still haven’t managed to get representation back in London yet. No, back in the real world, I would just love it if we could get to take Head of State on to some more festivals for a longer run and keep growing its audience. As for me, I’ve got a bunch of other scripts, projects and ideas – some political, some less so – that I’d love to start bringing to life. But in the meantime, I’ll just keep working on writing them and making them as good as I possibly can… until I get that phone call!

    Interview: Paul Hunter on The Strange Tale of Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel

    I saw the possibility of creating a funny and poignant homage to two great comedy legends in a highly theatrical piece

    Delighting audiences since 1993, Told by an Idiot Theatre are renowned for their wonderfully spontaneous productions that playfully weave together laughter and pain. Touring across England until the end of March, they present, with a twinkle in their eye, ‘The Strange Tale of Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel’.
    Unknown to many, Stan Laurel worked as Chaplin’s understudy, touring North America together. Slicing up segments of fact with fiction we follow a hilarious and deeply moving homage to two men who changed the world of comedy forever. An inventive piece with incredible physical comedy and a live piano score, we caught up with writer and director Paul Hunter to chat about the unique process.
    What attracted you to tell this story?
    I was drawn to this story of two extraordinary figures colliding for a brief time in their early years. Stan understudied Charlie on and off for eighteen months, and spoke about him reverentially all his life. But in his highly detailed autobiography, Charlie never mentioned Stan once. It was this apparent difference that intrigued me. I saw the possibility of creating a funny and poignant homage to two great comedy legends in a highly theatrical piece that would move backwards and forwards in time and into the world of the imagination
    When casting for the roles of Stan Laurel and Charlie Chaplin, was it essential for the performers to have certain physical skills?
    When casting the roles I was obviously looking for performers with a strong comic physicality, and – given the style of the piece – performers who were comfortable playing without words. It is also good to be open to skills you weren’t expecting. For instance, Jerone (who plays Stan) has a strong background in break dancing and hip hop – and these proved really useful skills to have in the room as the show was being created.
    Is the use of a comedy director in theatre common and how does the process work?

    Photo credit @ Manuel Harlan

    The role of a comedy director in shows is becoming more common. I think it is great to have people involved in a project who bring very particular skills. On ‘Charlie and Stan’ we worked with the brilliant Jos Houben (who, as one of the founding members of Complicite, had a big influence on my career) as Physical Comedy Consultant. His role was to look at very specific moments rather than to direct the comedy in general. I believe if you are going to direct a comedy then you have to have a feel for comedy. You’d never see a production of ‘Hamlet’ with a Tragedy Director attached.
    You have an original piano score composed by MOBO Award winner and Mercury nominee Zoe Rahman. Was the musical score created prior to the play or during the process?
    Zoe works out of the Jazz idiom and all her compositions are deeply rooted in spontaneity. There was a certain amount of composing before rehearsal provoked by a rehearsal script that I had written, and then a lot of creating in the room responding to what was happening and the skills of Sara Alexander (the pianist in the show).
    As the piece has no spoken word, how do you create a direct relationship with the audience?

    Photo credit @ Manuel Harlan

    Having no spoken words creates a really interesting atmosphere in the space. The audience and performers listen in a different way, and in some ways the relationship becomes simpler, more direct. Facial expressions become crucial and the shared responses and reactions with the audience create a unique bond.
    And finally, for people who haven’t had the joy of yet seeing a Told by an Idiot production, what can they expect?
    A really great night’s entertainment from ‘The Strange Tale of Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel’. A totally original Idiot version of a silent movie reinvented for the stage, anarchic, funny, tender, and moving. And unlike anything you have seen before.

    Interview: Eve Steele on The Political History of Smack and Crack

    Following sold-out runs at Soho Theatre and Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2018 (our Edinburgh review can be found here), The Political History of Smack and Crack is about to head out on tour throughout January and February. Before it does though, Eve Steele, reprising her role as Mandy, talks about the show, the 1980 riots and addiction.
    How would you describe the show to someone who hasn’t seen it?
    The show is a great mix of comedy and grit, both moving and entertaining. It follows two addicts, Mandy (who I play) and Neil, through their lives from their childhood to when they started using drugs and how they are present day, desperately trying to get clean.
    Fundamentally, the play is a love story. What makes this one special?
    These aren’t the characters we meet in a typical love story, they are really under-represented, and seeing their pain and vulnerability really ups the stakes with what happens to their relationships. When people are this fragile, a broken heart can be fatal.
    Can you tell us about your character?
    Mandy is warm-hearted, friendly and incredibly self-destructive. I think many addicts are like extreme versions of human beings and Mandy fits this description, her emotions are powerful and overwhelming at times and although she can come across as quite cocky and good fun she has a deep reserve of self-loathing and low self-esteem.
    What was it that initially drew you to the role?
    This is a character that Ed Edwards and I developed together over a few years. There have been different incarnations of Mandy in works of mine and ours in the past. I used to be a heroin addict myself but thankfully got clean when I was quite young. Mandy is loosely based on an idea of how I might have been if I’d carried on using, mixed in with bits and pieces of people me and Ed have known.

    You were brought up in Moss Side. Do you remember anything from the time the play is set?
    I was at primary school in 1981 which is when some of the play is set. All I remember when the riots were going was that I wasn’t allowed to play out so it was a bit annoying. They were mysterious, I didn’t understand what riots were. There was a lot of poverty and unemployment at that time, stuff got nicked from the back yard, clothes from the washing line, the house was broken into a lot. I lived in Moss Side again as an adult and by then there was a lot of heroin around. When I was little I remember being really proud when I saw our road mentioned in an article about Moss Side in the Manchester Evening News. I asked my mum if I could take it into school the next day to show everyone and was really grumpy when she wouldn’t let me. The article said: ‘The girls in high heels and tight jeans on Broadfield Road aren’t waiting for a bus.’
    In what ways, if any, does your past relationship with addiction affect how you respond to the play?
    I think it makes it a quick journey for me to step into the mind of the character. I have many of my own experiences to draw on and sometimes it feels like I am just accessing an existing part of me. It is quite a moving experience and makes me really grateful to have managed to get clean.
    Do you think the support offered to drug users has changed or improved since the 80s?
    I’m not sure what was available in the 80s but there’s a lot more awareness now. I think it’s harder to get a place in a detox than it was when I got clean in one over 20 years ago, and that’s really bad news as getting clean on your own is really tough. However there’s a lot more recovering addicts working in drugs services now (people who are clean but used to have a drug problem) and they have a lot of really useful experience. So this kind of lived experience combined with peer mentoring and a lot more 12 step meetings is a really good resource. This is really fortunate as there is definitely not enough money available to tackle addiction, as with most mental health issues, so we just have to hope that the generosity and goodwill of those who have struggled with addiction themselves and come through it can help as many people as possible.
    How do you think we can best support those struggling with addiction?
    I think if it’s a friend, partner or family member then it is really hard as addiction has a huge impact on people close to the addict, and those people need to find ways to look after themselves and be as non-judgemental and accepting of the addict as possible, whilst protecting themselves and not enabling the addiction (by constantly lending money or trying to ‘fix’ things). I would say making addicts aware of their options whenever possible is important, but the thing which is most lacking is safe housing and opportunities to detox in a supported and structured environment.
    What do you want audiences to take away from the production?
    For people who’ve experienced addiction I hope they will feel some identification and will enjoy seeing a life they can relate to being portrayed on stage. For those who don’t know about addiction I hope they will gain a better understanding and more empathy. And for all audiences I hope it will be possible to see how the wider political and social context affects the lives and options of individual human beings.
    What are you most looking forward to while on tour?
    Getting to know different cities and theatres, hopefully chatting to a variety of audience members after the show, and really I’m just so grateful to be paid for doing something like this! The other company members are great people, we’re telling a story I feel really deserves to be told and is brilliantly written, and I feel very lucky to be part of it.
