      Sharing details about the alleged incident, the reality TV star says, ‘People were interested in putting me down, dragging me down and showing me who is the queen bee.’

      AceShowbiz –
      Heather Thomson made a bombshell revelation regarding her exit from “The Real Housewives of New York City” season 13. During her appearance on “Friends of Dorothy” podcast, Heather revealed why she decided to exit the show, hinting that she was “assaulted” by a “queen bee.”

      “I get assaulted this season,” the 51-year-old reality TV personality, who infamously exited season 13 after she stopped filming the show following a “messy” exchange with Leah McSweeney, shared. “The show has changed a lot, breaking the fourth wall.”

      Sharing details about the alleged incident, she went on to say, “People were interested in putting me down, dragging me down and showing me who is the queen bee. I just don’t have time for that stuff. It’s the new girl who was intimidated and wanted to show who’s the queen bee.” While Heather didn’t name names in her revelations, people believe that Leah was the one who assaulted her.

      Prior to this, a source offered more insight into the alleged altercation. Speaking with Us Weekly, the source shared, “Heather’s popular history with the old cast and the excitement about new cast member Eboni K. Williams prompted production to maneuver [Heather’s] return.”

      The insider added, “Shortly after she arrived, Leah and Heather butt heads. Heather could see Leah was acting up for the cameras and using behavior she considered demeaning and exploitative and frankly, crossed a line. Heather wanted no part of Leah so after she left that weekend Heather had no interest in continuing the season at all and stopped filming.”

      In response to reports that she “chased” Heather away from the show, Leah appeared to address her feud with Heather in a now-deleted Instagram post. “I don’t like women who slut shame other women,” she wrote back in March. “Act morally superior to other women. Plastic surgery shame other women. Gossip about other women doing drugs when you know damn well they’ve done drugs also. And lastly I don’t like when white women call black women ‘articulate’. Especially while acting like the queen of wokeness.”

      Back to the podcast, Heather also said that she was involved in an argument with the other ladies including Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan. “My podcast comes up on the show and it’s totally taken out of context. They kept accusing me of talking s**t behind their backs. They said that I was saying Luann was doing a lot of drugs which I didn’t say,” she divulged.

      by

      WENN

      The former ‘Games of Thrones’ actress is adapting the popular 2019 children’s book by Christian McKay Heidicker into an animated television mini-series.

      Apr 30, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Actress Lena Headey is tackling the horror genre with an animated adaptation of popular 2019 children’s book “Scary Stories for Young Foxes”.

      The “Game of Thrones” star will lend her voice to the planned miniseries, based on the coming-of-age story by Christian McKay Heidicker, which she will co-executive produce for her Peephole Productions firm.

      Heidicker will also serve as a producer on the project, which is being developed with officials at Boat Rocker Studios.

      “During our first meeting at Boat Rocker I was asked what I was interested in and we started talking about horror for kids, how there is a space for this, and not to shy away from putting stuff out there that’s dark and smart,” Headey shared in a statement issued to Deadline.

        See also…

      “Kids aren’t daft, they know when we’re holding back the scary bits, so I’m so happy to be part of a great team to bring Christian’s book to life in a way that feels authentic.”

      Added the author, “I’m beyond thrilled at the prospect of (characters) Mia and Uly romping onto TV screens to chill a wider audience with the importance of scary stories.”

      “I was worried that my book would be declawed – the scariest bits removed for sensitive viewers – but I’m convinced that Boat Rocker Studios and the gravitational Ms. Headey will elevate this project to a place of spooky sophistication.”

      “Scary Stories for Young Foxes” features intertwining horror tales told to the young lead characters by an older fox.

      'Wheel of Fortune' Co-Host Vanna White Laughs Off On-Set Injury Despite Getting Whacked in the Head

      by

      Instagram

      During the filming of an episode that aired on Tuesday, April 27, the 64-year-old TV personality got hit by a ‘clump of confetti’ when she ‘was running across the stage, and the confetti came out.’

      Apr 30, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Vanna White managed to laugh off an on-set injury. The 64-year-old, who serves as Pat Sajak’s co-host on “Wheel of Fortune”, got “whacked in the head” when filming an episode of the show but brushed it off by being grateful that it was not her eyes that got hit.

      The unfortunate incident happened on Tuesday, April 27 when contestant Laura Trammell was making a historic moment during the game show by becoming the first contestant ever to win a home, HollywoodLife.com reported. When Laura won the bonus round, confetti was released into the audience and the set, but something went wrong.

      The show’s host Pat shared what happened by recalling, “Vanna was running across the stage, and the confetti came out, and you got whacked in the head by a clump of confetti.” Vanna, who has accompanied Pat on the show since 1982, replied with a laugh, “Thank goodness, it wasn’t my eye.”

      Vanna, who wore a floral sleveless shift dress during the episode, didn’t seem to take the incident seriously. She even rocked a long hot pink piece of the shiny confetti around her neck. Seeing that, Pat retorted, “You could’ve put your eye out!”

      The episode’s highlight was contestant Laura. The sixth grade teacher was thrilled upon learning that she just won a brand new 2000-square-foot home in Daytona Beach’s Latitude Margaritaville along with $23,690 in cash.

      The big moment was shared by the “Wheel of Fortune” official Instagram. The post showed Laura’s reaction when Pat informed her about the big win. “A Wheel of Fortune first! Laura is the first contestant EVER to win a home on the show! Watch the historic moment right here!” the caption of the post read.

      In the clip, Lauran was seen correctly guessing a phrase “I Caught A Glimpse.” Once the phrase appeared on the screen, Pat exclaimed, “She caught a glimpse…she caught a glimpse of her new home!”

      The show also shared via its official Instagram account a touching video when Laura called her husband and told him about her win. “Who would be the first person you’d call if you won a new home?” its caption read.

      Ewan McGregor: 'Star Wars' Prequel Series Filming Got 'Tedious' Due to Poor Dialogue

      by

      20th Century Fox

      The Obi-Wan Kenobi depicter admits he struggled with some scenes during the filming of the ‘Star Wars’ prequel series partly because of the disappointing dialogue.

      Apr 30, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Ewan McGregor found it difficult working the “Star Wars” prequel series because of the huge amount of CGI and unsatisfying dialogue.

      The 50-year-old star played the role of Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi in the prequel trilogy of the iconic sci-fi series but he has admitted that working on those films could be “tedious” due to director George Lucas’ use of CGI technology which meant there was very little to work with for the actors other than the dialogue.

      In a profile interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he said, “George loves technology and loves pushing into the realm. He wanted more and more control over what we see in the background.”

      “After three or four months of that, it just gets really tedious – especially when the scenes are … I don’t want to be rude, but it’s not Shakespeare. There’s not something to dig into the dialogue that can satisfy you when there’s no environment there. It was quite hard to do.”

      The “Trainspotting” star adds that he was disappointed that some of the three movies didn’t impress fans of the franchise, which began in 1977 with ‘Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope”.

        See also…

      Ewan said, “(It) was hard they didn’t get well received. That was quite different. They were universally not very much liked.”

      McGregor is set to return to a galaxy far, far away as Obi-Wan in an upcoming Disney+ series set between the prequel films and “Episode IV” and he has revealed that he was sworn to secrecy until the project was confirmed.

      He said, “I’d see stuff on social media like, ‘They better cast Ewan as Obi-Wan’ and I wasn’t able to say anything.”

      “But it was pretty humiliating to think that (Disney) might be thinking about casting someone else.”

      Ewan – who will be reunited with his co-star Hayden Christensen, who is returning as Sith Lord Darth Vader – is “excited” about returning to the franchise and feels in a “better place” compared to his appearances in the films.

      He said, “I’m really excited about it. Maybe more so than the first ones, because I’m older – I just turned 50 – and I’m just in a much better place.”

      Joseph Fiennes Felt 'Depressed' During 'Handmaid's Tale' Filming Amid Pandemic

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Shakespeare in Love’ actor felt ‘guilty’ for being away from his wife and children during Covid-19 pandemic as he returned to work for ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ season 4.

      Apr 30, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Actor Joseph Fiennes was “mildly depressed” after returning to work on “The Handmaid’s Tale” amid the COVID-19 pandemic because he was so isolated from his loved ones.

      The “Shakespeare In Love” star, who portrays sadistic Commander Fred Waterford in the hit dystopian drama series, headed to Toronto, Canada in September (20) to resume production on the new season four, and being unable to have his family join him on location or visit really shook him up mentally.

      “It was the first time in my life where I felt mildly depressed and hugely emotional at the lack of not being able to physically get to my family and know I wouldn’t see them for two-and-a-half to three months at a time,” he told Variety.

        See also…

      Fiennes, who lives with his wife, model Maria Dolores Dieguez, and their two daughters in Spain, added, “I felt like I was letting them down; there was a sense of guilt of not being there.”

      Despite the loneliness he suffered while working, the Brit was grateful producers kept the cast and crew as safe as possible by implementing strict health and safety measures. “I think we had 27,000 or more (COVID) tests since October,” he shared.

      The first three episodes of “The Handmaid’s Tale” season four dropped on streaming service Hulu on 27 April (21), a few days earlier than expected.

      The series, based on the book of the same name by Margaret Atwood, also stars Elisabeth Moss, Yvonne Strahovski, and Bradley Whitford.

      John Mayer Reportedly Getting His Own Late-Night Talk Show

      by

      WENN

      Rumor has it, the ‘Your Body Is a Wonderland’ hitmaker is shopping around a new late-night talk show called ‘Late With John Mayer’ that features himself as a host.

      Apr 30, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      John Mayer is reportedly closing in on a deal for his own late-night talk show.

      According to Variety, the musician is in talks to front his own entertainment programme on Paramount+.

      “Later With John Mayer” is being sold as “a series featuring performance segments as well as interviews with musicians, artists and other cultural figures in a setting designed to look like an after-hours club for musicians.”

      Meanwhile, Mayer recently revealed that his new album is finished.

      The “Half of My Heart” singer told fans on TikTok last month that he has been “chilling” and getting his friends’ opinions on his follow-up to 2017’s “The Search for Everything”.

        See also…

      He captioned a clip on the video-sharing platform, “My album is recorded, mixed and mastered. I’ve just been chilling and sharing it with friends for the past couple of months.”

      While he also teased, “I think I’m gonna drop a clip of the single.”

      Since his 2017 album, John has released the singles “New Light”, “I Guess I Just Feel Like”, and “Carry Me Away” while he teamed up with Khalid on “Outta My Head” in 2019 and released “Inside Friend” with Leon Bridges last year.

      The latter was released to help raise money for the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund, which supports music creators and professionals whose livelihoods are being affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

      Last month, he performed at Grammy Awards. He teamed up with country music star Maren Morrin on her hit single “The Bones”

      'Jeopardy!' Former Players Demand Apology Over Contestant's White Power Hand Sign

      by

      NBC

      In an open letter, a group of former contestants demand an apology from the show’s producers for not censoring a controversial hand gesture in an episode of the long-running game show.

      Apr 29, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      “Jeopardy!” received an open letter from a group of 467 former contestants on Wednesday, April 28. The letter featured them demanding an apology from the show’s producers for not censoring a controversial hand gesture in an episode of the long-running game show.

      “A recent contestant has caused concern among ‘Jeopardy!’ viewers for two separate occurrences,” the letter read. “We, as former contestants, feel the need to speak out against the messaging that these choices communicated — either intentionally or unintentionally — by the contestant Kelly Donohue and, implicitly by association, the producers of ‘Jeopardy!’ ”

      The letter referred to Kelly who was captured on camera holding “his thumb and forefinger together with his other three fingers extended and palm facing inward, and he tapped his chest.” The letter noted that that the gesture was extremely similar to the gesture “coopted by white power groups, alt-right groups, and an anti-government group that calls itself the Three Percenters,” adding that such gesture must be censored.

      “A couple of years ago, a contestant unintentionally wagered a monetary amount that used numerical values coopted by white supremacist groups and, since the total didn’t affect the outcome of the game, ‘Jeopardy!’ digitally altered the numbers in the version that aired,” the letter continued to read. “This should have been done in this case. Intentional or not, the burden was on the production team to catch the similarity to a hate symbol and make sure it didn’t end up on air.”

        See also…

      Kelly, meanwhile, defended himself, saying that the gesture was simply indicating that he had won three games. He also claimed that he had gestured with one finger and two fingers to indicate his previous wins.

      In addition to the controversial hand gesture, the letter detailed another misstep that Kelly exhibited. “Kelly responded to a clue with a term for the Roma that is considered a slur,” the letter continued.

      “We know that contestants sign morals and ethics-related agreements when they prepare to appear on the show, and we would ask the production team to evaluate this situation within that framework. Finally, we hope to see changes made so that future mistakes of this magnitude never make it on air,” it concluded.

      “Jeopardy!” has yet to comment on the matter.
