      'RHOA' Reunion: Porsha Williams Hints at LaToya Ali Hookup at Cynthia Bailey's Bachelorette Party

      by

      Instagram

      The reunion episode also sees Kandi Burruss and Porsha opening up about where their friendship stands today as they’re now following each other on social media after years of ups and downs.

      May 3, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” aired season 13 reunion on Sunday, May 2. In the new episode of the Bravo reality show, the cast members discussed the Strippergate which took place at Cynthia Bailey’s bachelorette party. The new outing also surprisingly hinted that Porsha Williams and new cast member LaToya Ali might hook up that night.

      It started after host Andy Cohen asked, “There was a lot of talk about the coffee table action. Does anyone care to share what happened on the coffee table?” The ladies started gigling with Porsha responding, “That’s one of the things that were blurry.”

      Porsha went on to say, “It came back to me that Toya was doing a thing on me, you know, or whatever….” Andy then asked, “Or whatever?” to which LaToya chimed in, “What’s ‘a thing on me’?”

      Porsha then recalled the intimate moment which allegedly happened that night. “Your face was here,” she said while pointing to her crotch. “My face was there?” LaToya asked to which Porsha replied, “Yes.” When LaToya asked if she liked it, Porsha answered confidently, “Yeah!”

      However, Porsha claimed that she “didn’t really remember that.” According to her, someone informed her that’s what happened. “I still had on my costume, so it’s not like she was [doing anything],” Porsha shared. Andy then noted that Porsha’s costume was basically “a piece of dental floss” so LaToya’s face was most likely close to Porsha’s nearly naked crotch area. LaToya backed the assumption by saying, “I could have pulled them panties to the side.”

      The reunion episode also saw Kandi Burruss and Porsha opening up about where their friendship stands today as they’re now following each other on social media after years of ups and downs. When asked if she had buried the hatchet with Porsha, Kandi shared, “I guess like, this year, it just seemed like, you know, it was headed in a much better direction. We were having a lot more fun together, around each other. And then when we were at Cynthia’s event and she was showing support to DonJuan as well, I was like, ‘Okay, now this is really a different situation.’ ”

      “Even when Kandi and I have issues outside of the group, we’ll talk about it over text and deal with it. And we deal with it and we leave it there,” she went on to say.

      AceShowbiz –
      Toni Collette has been cast as the wife of killer Michael Peterson on a new HBO Max drama. The Australian actress will team up with Colin Firth for “The Staircase” – the eight-episode series which focuses on the 2001 death of Kathleen Peterson.

      Michael Peterson was convicted of the murder of his wife after claiming she died after falling down the stairs, high on alcohol and Valium. An autopsy suggested she died from multiple injuries, including blunt force trauma to the back of her head. His charge was eventually reduced to manslaughter in 2017 and he was released from prison.

      “The Staircase” is based on the true-crime docuseries of the same name which premiered in 2004. The docuseries was released as a 13-episode show in 2018 on Netflix. The new drama project, in the meantime, has “Christine” director Antonio Campos and “American Crime Story” writer Maggie Cohn serving as its writers and executive producers.

      Campos himself has been tapped to direct six of the eight episodes.

      Meanwhile, Collette will make her directorial debut with an adaptation of Lily King’s bestseller “Writers & Lovers”. The “Muriel’s Wedding” star is also adapting the screenplay with Nick Payne and executive producing.

      “I have been wanting to direct for quite some time but have been a bit busy with my day job,” Collette told Deadline. “l couldn’t be more thrilled to be bringing Lily King’s beautiful, funny, moving novel to life.”

      The story revolves around an aspiring novelist who finds herself dating two men at the same time, following the death of her mother.

      Linda Evans Gets Candid About Regret Over 'Dynasty' Exit

      by

      Aaron Spelling Productions

      The actress played Krystle Carrington in the hit drama from 1981 to 1989 admits she did not know the show was coming to an end, and went through terrible withdrawal after leaving the cult TV soap.

      May 3, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Linda Evans battled withdrawal symptoms after leaving cult TV soap “Dynasty” in the late 1980s. The actress played Krystle Carrington in the hit drama from 1981 to 1989, and admits she wouldn’t have quit the show if she knew it was coming to an end.

      “The last three years of ‘Dynasty’, we were so successful that I had no days off,” she tells Closer. “Not to knock it, because it was a gift from God, but I knew I wanted more out of my life.”

      “Still, I didn’t know the show was ending or I would have stuck out the last year. In fact, I hadn’t counted on the terrible withdrawal. After so many years in such closeness with everybody, it had become my family. I just went into such a sadness that I hadn’t counted on.”

        See also…

      Following a lengthy break, Linda returned to acting recently and appeared in the big screen drama “Swan Song”.

      “I’ve waited until I was 78 to start again, but I’ve never done anything normal in my life!” she smiles. “When someone sends me a script, if it makes me curious and touches my heart, I’m in.”

      One thing Linda doesn’t need right now is a partner, and she insists she has no desire for dating, because she’s so content with her personal life.

      “I am so happy,” she adds. “I never knew being alone could be so delightful. I’m rich because I have family and friends living all around me. My sister is on one side. My nephew is on the other. One of my dearest friends just moved one block away. We don’t have to have a man to be happy.”

      Netflix Apologizes to 'Byron Baes' Cast for 'Hated' PR Post Amid Backlash

      by

      Netflix

      Meanwhile, Byron locals are not happy with the docusoap as they reportedly paddle out into the ocean to protest the show in addition to launching a petition against the new project.

      May 3, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Netflix’s upcoming docusoap “Byron Baes” has yet to premiere but the show is already drawing backlash not only from Byron locals but also from its cast. It has been reported that the cast members, who have yet to be revealed, are not happy with the show labeling them as “influencers” and “hot Instagrammers” in an Instagram post teasing the new project.

      In response to the backlash, Netflix’s Director of Originals in Australia Que Minh Luu took to her Twitter account to share that the streaming giant had apologized to the cast for the recent PR post. “A postcard’s worth of copy doesn’t tell the whole story of what the show is. It looks at human connection, ambition, image and what lies underneath – not all glossy, often contradictory. Like the place itself. Byron is a symbol to so many Australians,” Luu began her thread.

      “It is a reality show & it has craft. It is hella entertaining & it is complex. These are not mutually exclusive. The team & participants are committed, hardworking, with heart & incredible stories to tell,” she went on to say. “I’ve never made reality before and want to do something new with it – with Eureka we’re levelling s**t up. BTW, the craft and skill that goes into reality is kinda incredible??”

        See also…

      Of the cast members, Luu explained, “The participants number in the double digits, a quarter born/raised in the area, most have lived there a meaningful length of time, a few newer to the area…kinda like how Byron works. They are artists, musicians, entrepreneurs, business owners, models, on a spiritual journey and more. They understand the power of influence. They are part of Byron. They understand the creative vision of the show that has been developed with them over several months.”

      In the next tweet, Luu confirmed that most of the cast members “hated the press release too!” That prompted her to do “a lot of apologising that week. Fired the PR team (lol joking about firing, we’re all learning together).”

      Luu added, “Anyhoo, there’s more to influencing than you think, there’s more to Byron than the image, and there’s more to the show. No doubt it won’t be for everyone, but it’ll authentic, honest and layered and FUN. Also a docusoap! Can’t wait to share it.”

      Concluding the thread, she wrote, “Last thought: soap operas get trashed a lot but they’re often a conversation starter for families, communities about current issues…when Warren and I created The Heights it was with all the respect for the genre’s place in culture and what value we could add to it x.”

      That aside, locals were not supportive of “Byron Baes” as they reportedly thought the show would affect badly to the beach. It was said that the folks paddled out into the ocean to protest the show in addition to launching a petition against the docusoap.

      Arnold Schwarzenegger Grateful to Stan Lee for Creating His Dream Role in 'Superhero Kindergarten'

      by

      The former Governor of California is thrilled for the release of his new family-friendly show which was created by Stan Lee specifically for the ‘Predator’ actor.

      May 3, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Arnold Schwarzenegger is a big hit with tiny kids at last – thanks to the creator of his new show “Superhero Kindergarten”.

      The actor and former Governor of California made his name in adult action films like “The Terminator” and “Predator”, which were full of guns and violent scenes unsuitable for youngsters, but his new Amazon Prime Series has given him access kindergarteners, and it’s all thanks to late Marvel boss Stan Lee.

      “He (Lee) asked (me) my dream of what movie I wanted to do next and I said to him, ‘I always wanted to do a sequel to (comedy film) Kindergarten Cop…,” Arnie told Kelly Clarkson on her U.S. daytime talk show.

      “He thought for a few seconds and said, ‘I have an idea for an animated show. What about Superhero Kindergarten, where you’re a kindergarten teacher for kids who have superpowers – wouldn’t that be great? You have been a superhero yourself (in the show) but you’re now retired and… teaching those kids how to be good contributors and how to save the world in the future.’ ”

      The star, who plays Arnold Armstrong – aka Captain Courage – in the cartoon series, loves his new role but he regrets the legend behind his new show didn’t live to see the finished product.

      “The sad story is that he (Stan) passed since then and didn’t really see the final product, but I think that he would be very happy…,” Schwarzenegger added, “because it came out fantastic and very entertaining. I’m very happy about it because… most of the movies I’ve done were all R-rated (adult) action movies.”

      “It was a competition between me and (Sylvester) Stallone – who is killing more people on the screen, who is using bigger guns, who can brutalise people the worst way.”

      “Finally I do a project for little kids, for five year olds. Anyone from two years to 10 years (old) will enjoy the show.”

      Netflix Chronicles Byron Bay’s ‘Hot Instagrammers.’ Will Paradise Survive?

      by

      Tensions between protecting and capitalizing on the image of the famous Australian beach town have exploded over a new reality show.BYRON BAY, Australia — The moral quandaries of life as an Instagram influencer in the famously idyllic town of Byron Bay are not lost on Ruby Tuesday Matthews.Ms. Matthews, 27, peddles more than vegan moisturizers, probiotic powders and conflict-free diamonds to her 228,000 followers. She is also selling an enviable lifestyle set against the backdrop of her Australian hometown’s crystalline coves and umbrellaed poolsides.It’s part of the image-making that has helped transform Byron Bay — for better or worse — from a sleepy beach town drawing surfers and hippies into a globally renowned destination for the affluent and digitally savvy.“I do kind of have moments where I’m like, ‘Am I exploiting this town that I live in?” Ms. Matthews said recently as she sat at The Farm, a sprawling agritourism enterprise that embodies the town’s wellness ethos. “But at the same time, it’s my job. It puts food on the table for my children.”The tensions between leveraging and protecting Byron Bay’s reputation, always simmering in this age of entrepreneurial social media, exploded last month when Netflix announced plans for a reality show, “Byron Baes,” that will follow “hot Instagrammers living their best lives.”Local residents said the show would be a tawdry misrepresentation of the town and demanded that Netflix cancel the project.
