    'The Voice' Recap: A Country Singer Earns Four-Chair Turn in Blind Auditions Part 3

    NBC

    After Jesse Desiyrcy’s performance that unfortunately fails to make any coach turn their chair, Avery Roberson performs ‘If You’re Reading This’ that earns him a four-chair turn.

    Mar 9, 2021
    AceShowbiz – “The Voice” aired a new episode on Monday, March 8, featuring the third part of Blind Auditions. The coaches, Kelly Clarkson, Nick Jonas, John Legend and Blake Shelton and John Legend, were all focused to get brilliant singers on their team with Ryleigh Modig kicking it off with a performance of Billie Eilish’s “When the Party’s Over”.
    Kelly and Nick were impressed as they turned their chair for the 18-year-old singer. “You got to sing those runs. I don’t coach nerves well, but you don’t come across as nervous, you kind of got lost in your character and it was unbelievable. I think you are really cool. I specialize in winning,” Kelly raved. Ryleigh went to Team Kelly.
    The next singer was 37-year-old Pia Renee from Chicago. She opted to sing “Master Blaster (Jammin)” and John hit his button with Blake following it up. “America needs to hear someone like you, with so much energy and so much so soul, we are all fortunate that you graced us with your presence so it would be a lot of fun to work with you,” said John. Pia chose John to be her coach.
    Singing “Gravity” was Andrew Marshall from Bedford, Massachusetts. Nick was the only one who turned his chair for Andrew, so the latter automatically went to Team Nick. Up next was Emma Caroline from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The country singer hit the stage to sing “Slow Burn”, prompting Kelly and Blake to turn their chair. Rather unsurprisingly, Emma went with Team Blake.

    James Tutson from Iowa City, Iowa then performed “Beyond”, but unfortunately no one turned for him. Later, Ciana Pelekai hit the stage to sing “Dance Monkey”. John and Nick turned, but John blocked Nick so Ciana went to Team John. “I love how long it took Nick to realize that I blocked him. I was thoroughly impressed by your performance, a cool tone, and a good sense of rhythm, charism. This is the moment to get back at Nick,” John explained.
    Jose Figeruoa Jr. also made John and Nick turn their chair after singing “At This Moment”. “Jose, you were unbelievable on that stage. I cannot have you pick John Legend, it will not happen, it will break my heart and I will not sleep tonight,” Nick tried to pitch to Jose to pick him as his coach, and it worked. Following it up was Halley Greg from Seattle, Washington, singing “I’m Like a Bird”. Kelly was the only coach to hit her button so Halley went to Team Kelly.
    As for Durell Anthony, he caught John and Kelly’s attention after performing “What’s Going On”. Kelly said that she loved his voice, while John praised him for the “beautiful rendition.” Durell went with Team John. After Jesse Desiyrcy’s performance that unfortunately failed to make any coach turn their chair, Avery Roberson performed “If You’re Reading This” and he earned a four-chair turn.
    Everyone wanted Avery to be on their respective team as Nick said, “I think it is bizarre that every time we have a country artist come out here, you say the same thing, Blake.” Kelly added, “I thought it was quite remarkable that you didn’t do what people expect to do to get four-chair turns, you kept it you, it was beautiful and intimate. I have won this show with a male country singer, I grew up on country music, you are going to do well.” Despite that, Avery chose Team Blake.

    'Bachelor' Recap: Matt James Confronts His Dad Ahead of Fantasy Suites

    ABC

    The leading man of season 25 of the ABC dating show feels that he needs to talk with his father, who isn’t a constant presence in his life, before he will finally feel ready to start a family of his own.

    Mar 9, 2021
    AceShowbiz – “The Bachelor” returned with a new episode on Monday, March 8. In the new outing, Matt James enjoyed one-on-one romantic dates with three remaining ladies in his season during the Fantasy Suites. The first date was between Matt and Michelle, who was confident with her relationship with him.
    Prior to that, Matt met his father. He felt that he needed to talk with his father, who wasn’t a constant presence in his life, before he was ready to start a family of his own. Matt explained his emotional turmoil to his father and said that he forgave his dad and didn’t hold grudges against him. Meanwhile, his father promised to try to be more present for Matt, though he noted that this conversation wouldn’t magically fix their relationship.
    Later during his date with Michelle, Matt and Michelle had a spa day. During the relaxing time, Michelle revealed that she wanted to be like her parents, who have been married for over thirty years. Matt felt the same as he didn’t want him to be like his parents who split when he was young. As Matt showed his vulnerable side to Michelle, she told him that she loved him. While Matt didn’t say it back, he did kiss her. The two then headed to the bedroom.

    The next morning, they woke up in each other’s arms. They kissed a lot until Michelle had to go back to the house. Rachael, meanwhile, was torn to find out that Matt and Michelle spent the night together. Bri was also the same but she tried her best not to show or tell Matt about her feelings.
    For Bri and Matt’s one-on-one date, they went hiking. Bri panicked when Matt asked for her help in setting up a camping tent, thinking that they would sleep outside for their Fanstasy Suite. Matt noticed and decided to play with her for a while before he finally told her that this wasn’t the place they would spend their Fantasy Suite night.
    Later during the night, Bri told Matt that she loved him. Matt didn’t say it back but he said that he was ready for an engagement, adding that he saw how she fits in her life after Hometowns. Bri then recounted her date with Matt with the other ladies and it made Rachael so insecure.
    She couldn’t shake off her insecurity during her date with Matt as they created ceramics. Rachael didn’t speak to him and didn’t event look at him the whole time. Rachael finally decided that she needed to speak with him in private about this. She asked Matt about his feelings for her and he told her that he wanted a future with her, just like what he told the other women. Rachael was satisfied enough with his answer and they kissed.
    It was later time for the Rose Ceremony. Matt gave the first rose to Michelle, putting Bri and Rachael in jeopardy. Eventually, he presented the last rose to Rachael and sent Bri home. Matt apologized to Bri, explaining that he just didn’t feel for her as deeply as she did for him.

    Mar 9, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Jason Sudeikis thanked his ex Olivia Wilde for coming up with the idea of his “Ted Lasso” TV show, after the Apple TV+ programme won big at the Critics’ Choice Awards on Sunday night (March 7).
    The actor – who split from Olivia in November (2020) after seven years together – scooped Best Actor in a Comedy Series for the show, while the programme won Best Comedy Series and Hannah Waddingham took home Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
    In his remote acceptance speech for Best Comedy Series, Jason gave a shout out to Olivia, and credited her with the idea for the programme.
    “Holy Smokes, OK. A great number of you have been so vocal about your enjoyment of this show and we’ve greatly appreciated it…” he said. “I want to thank my kids, Otis and Daisy, and I want to thank their mom, Olivia, who had the initial idea for this as a TV show. She was like, ‘You guys like doing that so much, you should do it as a movie or a TV show,’ and she was right!”

    “This has been a wack-a** year, and this has been a wonderful vessel to hear people’s stories of forgiveness and redemption and heeling and understanding.”

    And following his victories, Olivia took to Twitter to congratulate her former partner, writing, “Congrats to Jason and the entire Ted Lasso family on your @CriticsChoice wins! @jasonsudeikis @hanwaddingham @brendanhunting @joekellyjk47 @VDOOZER! So happy for you guys.”

    Olivia Wilde applauded Jason Sudeikis for winning big at 2021 Critics’ Choice Awards.
    And in a nod to the casual attire again worn by her former partner – with whom she has kids Otis, six, and Daisy, four – to accept the award, a week after he donned a rainbow tie-dyed hoodie to the Golden Globe Awards, she added, “I hope this means we all keep wearing hoodies when the ceremonies are in person next year.”

    'Zack Snyder's Justice League' Accidentally Released Early in Place of 'Tom and Jerry'

    HBO Max

    HBO Max users clicking to watch the CGI/live-action comedy film of the famous cartoon duo are surprised that Snyder’s cut of the superhero film plays instead.

    Mar 9, 2021
    AceShowbiz – “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” came 10 days early for some unsuspecting HBO Max subscribers. On Monday, March 8, fans were surprised by the sudden arrival of the long-awaited director’s cut of the superhero movie, but they might not get to see it until the end.
    The anticipated four-hour film from Synder was up for at least an hour and accidentally played in place of “Tom & Jerry” on the streaming service. Doug Bass of Charlotte, North Carolina was one of those surprised users and he brought to light the accidental release on Twitter.
    Bass said he just wanted to put the CGI/live-action comedy film for background noise while he worked on Monday afternoon when “The Snyder Cut” played instead. “@hbomax someone’s getting fired…Tom and Jerry this is not…#SnyderCut,” he tweeted.
    He went on gushing about the superhero movie, “The CGI finally rivals that of Marvel and you’re gonna love it. That’s all im saying. No spoilers. Get excited.” While he claimed that he’s “never been a huge DC movie fan,” he raved that “it is the best DC film I’ve ever seen.”

    Bass told Variety about an hour into the feed, he noticed the definition of the image began to degrade, then an error message appeared on his screen and the film disappeared. When he attempted to restart the film, “Tom & Jerry” played instead, suggesting that HBO Max has fixed the error by that time.

    HBO Max user shared a screengrab of ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ accidental debut.
    HBO Max has released a statement on the technical glitch. Seemingly confirming that it’s Snyder’s version that viewers watched, a spokesperson from WarnerMedia said, ” ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ was temporarily available on HBO Max and the error was addressed within minutes.”
    “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” isn’t due until March 18. Snyder’s version of the film will include some new scenes which he filmed, with Jared Leto, Amber Heard and Joe Manganiello reprising their roles as Joker, Mera and Deathstroke respectively.

    'RHOA': Porsha Williams Believes Kenya Moore Leaked StripperGate Story to Media

    Instagram

    Porsha isn’t the only one who thinks so as Drew Sidora, a new cast member of the Bravo reality TV show, agrees, adding that she doesn’t like how Kenya tries to conduct an ‘investigation’ into the matter.

    Mar 8, 2021
    AceShowbiz – “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” season 13 returned with a new episode on Sunday, March 7. The new outing saw the ladies discussing how the headline-making StripperGate, where Porsha Williams and Tanya Sam allegedly had sex with male stripper Bolo at Cynthia Bailey’s bachelorette party, got leaked to the media.
    Cynthias and her sister were the first ones to find out about it as they saw an article which headline read, “Two ‘RHOA’ stars allegedly had sex with stripper at Cynthia Bailey’s bachelorette.” Cynthia told Malorie that it wasn’t her who had sex with Bolo, though she couldn’t say the same when it came to her co-stars.
    When the Housewives gathered later, they tried to figure out how the story got leaked and Porsha appeared to think that Kenya Moore, who was the most “pressed” about the hookup, was the one responsible for it. “In Page Six, they were saying it was a threesome,” Shamea Morton told Porsha after the ladies gathered for a hayride. “This went from us having a bachelorette party to now this has gone in the blogs? It just seems like a lot,” Porsha responded.

    Later in a confessional, Porsha shared that she believed that the leak was all Kenya’s doing. “It seems like a Kenya leak. It seems like a low-down, ‘Ehh this b***h’ type of leak. You might as well put it right there [at the top of the article], ‘Written by Kenya Moore.’ ”
    Porsha wasn’t the only one who thought so. New cast member Drew Sidora also agreed, adding that she didn’t like how Kenya tried to conduct an “investigation” to try to find out who allegedly had sex with the stripper. Marlo Hampton suggested Porsha to talk with Kenya but Porsha refused, saying, “I don’t f*** with” her.
    Kenya did talk about the StripperGate a lot after the story came out. “I heard a lot — and other people heard a lot, very specific things. Very specific things and very specific voices,” so she shared in an interview.
    She also revealed that she found it unfair “that people will call that pot-stirring” as she argued, “We are a cast, and we are in a cast house, and if something happens like that in a cast house while you are working, then it should be discussed. You can’t do that at McDonald’s! You can’t go in the bathroom at McDonald’s and have sex with someone and think it’s OK because hey, you know, you were in the closet. No. You’re at work.”

    Kelly Macdonald Reveals Which 'Trainspotting' Scene She Filmed While Hungover

    Miramax Films

    Looking back at the role that kicked off her acting career, the actress playing Diane in Danny Boyle’s drugs drama additionally talks about her experience shooting sex scene with Ewan McGregor.

    Mar 8, 2021
    AceShowbiz – The “Trainspotting” cast was often drunk during filming, according to star Kelly Macdonald. The actress, who played Diane in Danny Boyle’s drugs drama, reveals many of her co-stars were inebriated as cameras rolled.
    “I thought it was OK because everyone else was [drinking],” she told The Guardian. “It was like high school, you just try to fit in. We were just hanging out at the pub. The green room was a little caravan that we were all supposed to sit in. And the sensible people would sit, and the others would go to the local pub.”
    And Kelly admits she had been drinking all day before shooting the film’s famous club scene, when her character met Ewan McGregor’s Renton for the first time. “By the time it came to me doing the talky bit, I was already hungover,” she said.

    Although the actress is proud of the film, she admitted she has only ever seen it once. “I’ve not watched it since the premiere, so I have no idea,” she laughed. “I’m sure I’m quite bad in it, actually.”
    But she will never forget shooting a sex scene with McGregor, adding, “Ewan had done a lot of sex scenes before that, and he was so sweet to me and talked me through it, and made me feel as comfortable as I could be.”
    On her experience working with good directors, Macdonald said, “Oh God, I’ve been so lucky. A lot of it is being in the right place at the right time. I’m quite good at not working for the sake of working, although sometimes it would have benefited me fiscally.”
    “But if my instincts say it’s not for me, then I go with that,” the 45-year-old actress elaborated. “Because the couple of jobs that I’ve done that I’ve not really been right for, and I’ve had that feeling, I’ve generally been correct.”
