In attempt to comfort Kim, Kris says to her, “I just want you to be happy and joyful.” To that, Kim replies, “Yeah, and I’m ready too.”
The teaser also sees Khloe Kardashian considering to follow in Kim’s steps by having a baby via surrogate. “Your sister has done it before so it’s not foreign to us,” Khloe’s baby daddy and boyfriend Tristan Thompson tells her.

In addition to the baby plan, the couple adjusts to long distance relationship as Tristan signed to the Boston Celtics back in November.
Elsewhere in the promo, Kim is giving older sister Kourtney Kardashian some advice about Scott Disick. “Think about all the times he’s had big change, [it] hasn’t been positive for him,” Kim says to Kourtney.

“American Idol” aired its new episode on Sunday, May 2. On the Disney Night, the Top 10 of the current season 19 hit the stage to sing Disney classics with host Ryan Seacrest announcing Arthur Gunn, the runner-up of season 18, as the Comeback winner.Kicking off that night was Willie Spence as he sang a powerful take on “Circle of Life” from “The Lion King”. Judge Lionel Richie thought his “delivery is just so incredible.” Following it up was Deshawn Goncalves who took the stage to sing “When You Wish Upon a Star” from “Pinocchio”. Katy Perry noted that the performance showed his “real, true growth.”
Later, Casey Bishop offered a rendition of “When She Loved Me” from “Toy STory 2”. Katy totally loved the performance, telling Casey that her “vocals will take you to infinity and beyond.” Chayce Beckham, meanwhile, opted to perform an alt-rock version of “Baby Mine” from “Dumbo”.
Alyssa Weay followed it up with a stunning performance of “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” from “Cinderella”. Katy and Lionel loved it as they called the performance “amazing,” “elegant and elevated.” Arthur, meanwhile, performed his own version of “Remember Me” from “Coco”. “That was one of your best performances I’ve ever seen,” Luke raved.

Cassandra Coleman sang “Go the Distance” from “Hercules” which earned her compliments from the judges. Hunter Metts chose to sing his mom’s favorite song, “You’ll Be In My Heart” from “Tarzan”. Rounding out the night, Grace Kinstler belted out “Into the Unknown” from “Frozen II”.
When it was time for eliminations, Ryan revealed that Chayce, Casey, Willie, Hunter, Caleb, Grace and Arthur were the Top 7 advancing to the next round. Deshawn, Alyssa and Cassandra were unfortunately eliminated.
The decision, however, was opposed by some viewers. “Caeb & Hunter over Alyssa & DeShawn? WOW! Arthur Gunn is amazing. He shouldn’t get the blow back from AI’s poor decisions either. It’s not his fault. #AmericanIdol should have brought former contestants back NEXT season. It’s UNFAIR to this season’s contestants & Arthur too!” one person tweeted.
“Boooooooooooo!!! Alyssa should have made it. Not Arthur!!! He had his chance last year. So wrong!! #americanidol,” another user opined. “Alyssa and deshaun ??????? GONE??? This is bs and Arthur goes thru?? He’s from last year he had his chance #AmericanIdol,” one unhappy fan added.
Calling it “the single WORST idea #americanidol has ever had,” another person said, “So beyond unfair! ARTHUR GUNN NEEDS TO GO!!! Alyssa Ray sang CIRCLES around him!”

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

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.

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.

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.”

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
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??”

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.
