The three would join other 11 children of stars from “Real Housewives” franchise including “The Real Housewives of New York City”, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”, “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” as well as “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City”.

    Sonja Morgan was named as one of the candidates of the alleged upset Housewives. However, Andy quickly denied the speculations, saying, “I would love to have Quincy [Morgan],” referring to Sonja’s daughter.

    Tom Holland to Explore Mental Illness in Anthology Series 'The Crowded Room'

    WENN/Avalon

    A co-production between Apple Studios and New Regency, the first season of this TV drama will be based on a biography of Daniel Keyes, who was arrested for three rapes in Ohio in the late 1970s.

    Apr 9, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Actor Tom Holland is set to explore the subject of Multiple Personality Disorder for a new TV drama based on the true crime story of Billy Milligan.

    “The Crowded Room” will be an anthology series, with the first season based on Daniel Keyes’ 1981 biography, “The Minds of Billy Milligan”, a man who was arrested for three rapes in Ohio in the late 1970s.

    However, he eventually became the first person ever acquitted of a crime after doctors diagnosed him with Multiple Personality Disorder, now known as Dissociative Identity Disorder, claiming he had no knowledge of the assaults as they were committed by two of his alternate personalities.

    Instead of being convicted and thrown behind bars in prison, Milligan went on to spend a decade in various mental hospitals.

    “The Crowded Room” will be adapted by “Cinderella Man” screenwriter Akiva Goldsman for a 10-episode first season for streaming service bosses at Apple. It is a co-production between Apple Studios and New Regency with Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan and Michael Schaefer serving as executive producers.

    Goldsman and Holland will also serve as executive producers on the project, which reunites the “Spider-Man: Homecoming” star with Apple officials following his recent crime drama “Cherry (2021)”, in which he portrayed an army veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, who turns bank robber to pay for his drug addiction.

    Holland will next be seen reprising his role as Peter Parker in Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home”, which is set to be released in December 2021. His other project, “Uncharted”, is slated to be released theatrically in 2022.

    Millie Bobby Brown Scolds 'Stranger Things' Co-Star David Harbour for Spilling Season 4 Spoilers

    WENN/Instar/Derrick Salters

    The Eleven depicter cuts short her onscreen father’s Instagram Live after noticing that the actor is going live from the set still in his character’s costume and bloody makeup.

    Apr 9, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Millie Bobby Brown has just called out David Harbour. Upon learning her “Stranger Things” co-star spilled spoilers of the series’ season 4 on social media, the Eleven depicter jokingly scolded him.

    The 17-year-old’s reaction came after her on-screen father hopped on Instagram Live on Wednesday, April 7 while he was still in his character’s costume and bloody makeup. “What’s up, everybody? How’s it going? I haven’t done Instagram Live in a little while. I think I can only be here for like three and a half minutes because I think I have to go to set fairly soon,” he began.

    “I’m here, shooting season four of our television show,” the Jim Hopper depicter further divulged. “I don’t think I’m supposed to be showing you these things. Who wants to hear spoilers for season four? Let me just read directly from the script.”

    David then burst out laughing when Millie commented on his Live. “Oh s**t! Millie! Oh, no. Millie, don’t tell Netflix, don’t tell Netflix that I’m doing Instagram Live from set,” he said, before lightheartedly threatening her, “I’m just going to read your sections of the script, Millie. I’m just gonna tell everybody what happens to Eleven this season.”

    After David allowed Millie to join the Live, she yelled, “What are you doing?!” In response to her question, he laughed and replied, “I don’t know, I’m so crazy. I’m so crazy I shouldn’t be doing this.” When she asked whether he was in his costume, he questioned back, “They saw it in the trailer. Didn’t they see it?”

    Feeling surprised by the actor’s answer, the teen was quick to scream, “Get off of live and go back to work! You’re getting a phone call [from Netflix] right now.” He then quipped, “I know… I’m getting fired.”

    “Stranger Things” season 4 is currently on its production after being shut down in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Gaten Matarazzo recently told Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” that the upcoming season might end up being the “scariest” one yet.

    Matt Gaetz Is ‘Almost Too Florida,’ Says Stephen Colbert

    Allegations of “Bahamas sex trafficking with a weed-peddling hand surgeon” make the congressman a nearly too-perfect representative of his state, Colbert said.Welcome to Best of Late Night, a rundown of the previous night’s highlights that lets you sleep — and lets us get paid to watch comedy. We’re all stuck at home at the moment, so here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now.Representing FloridaThe late-night hosts had plenty to say on Thursday about the accusations against Representative Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, as investigators examine a trip he took to the Bahamas with Jason Pirozzolo, a marijuana entrepreneur and hand surgeon.“Yes, marijuana entrepreneur and hand surgeon, which means he can cure your carpal tunnel and turn your thumb into a bong,” Stephen Colbert joked on Thursday’s “Late Show.”“By the way, if your hand surgeon is also a marijuana entrepreneur, probably a good idea to learn to write with your feet.” — JIMMY KIMMEL“I know Gaetz is from Florida, but ‘Bahamas sex trafficking with weed-peddling hand surgeon’ is almost too Florida, even for him.” — STEPHEN COLBERT“So good luck, Matt Gaetz. Maybe he just loves Trump so much he wants to go to jail with him, is that possible?” — JIMMY KIMMEL“Gaetz is going to get screwed — and as usual, he’s going to have to pay for it.” — STEPHEN COLBERT“Now might be a fun time to remind people of this tweet Matt Gaetz posted just before Michael Cohen testified in Congress about his former boss, Donald Trump: ‘Hey @michaelcohen212 do your wife & father-in-law know about your girlfriends? Maybe tonight would be a good time for that chat. I wonder if she’ll remain faithful while you’re in prison. She’s about to learn a lot.’ Oh, karma, you old rascal, you.” — JIMMY KIMMELThe Punchiest Punchlines (Pence’s Book Deal Edition)“The former vice poodle is putting Pence to paper. He signed a two-book deal with Simon & Schuster — I wonder if he knows they’re a gay couple.” — JIMMY KIMMEL“How does Mike Pence have enough material to write two books? I feel like I can summarize his entire life in two sentences. One, he was vice president. Two, a fly landed on his head.” — JAMES CORDEN“The first book is a pretty straightforward memoir, but I was surprised by the second one. It’s actually a steamy romance novel, called ‘Presidential Vices.’” — JAMES CORDEN“Of course the book will be written by a ghostwriter, Mike Pence.” — JIMMY FALLON“This will be the only time pages got whiter after words were printed on them.” — JIMMY KIMMEL“But the book is a little different, though. There’s a blank white page in the middle with the caption ‘selfie.’” — JIMMY FALLON“Of course, Pence is currently considering a lot of titles for his memoir. First there’s ‘Fifty Shades of White.’ There’s also ‘Lord of the Flies.’ Next there’s ‘Tuesdays with Moron.’ And finally, ‘Are you There, Mother? It’s Me, Your Husband.” — JIMMY FALLON“Pence’s publisher calls this ‘the definitive book on one of the most consequential presidencies in American history.’ Oh, it was consequential, all right.” — JIMMY KIMMEL“The book will cover not just Pence’s time in the White House but his whole life, including traumatic family events like the time he saw Mother without her bonnet. He even opens up about the time in college he experimented with almond milk.” — JIMMY KIMMEL“I’m sure there will be a lot of talk about religion, his hopes and dreams, and then maybe a chapter about how his boss tried to murder him.” — JIMMY FALLONThe Bits Worth WatchingGlenn Close talked about spending her pandemic in Montana on Thursday night’s “Desus & Mero.”Also, Check This OutFrom left, Deborah Ayorinde, Melody Hurd, Shahadi Wright Joseph and Ashley Thomas in “Them,” a new horror series from Amazon.

    Kelly Osbourne to Discuss Her Weight Loss and Transformation in New Podcast Series

    Instagram

    The former ‘Fashion Police’ star is teaming up with TV producer Jeff Beacher to talk about fame, fitness, and their recent transformations in a new podcast series.

    Apr 9, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Kelly Osbourne has teamed up with her producer pal Jeff Beacher for a new podcast series.

    The reality star and wannabe actress promised that “The Kelly Osbourne and Jeff Beacher Show”, launching on the PodcastOne network on 4 May (21), will be entirely uncensored and leave no stone untouched.

    “I strive to be inclusive in everything I do. I want to include every single unique group. What some may have called freaks, we call family,” she said in a statement.

    Among the topics the pair will discuss is fame, fitness and their recent transformations – with Kelly shedding 90lbs and Jeff losing an incredible 260lbs.

      See also…

    They’ll record and film the podcast from the penthouse at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, with entertainer Donnie Davis co-hosting.

    “Kelly and Jeff together are a showstopping dynamic,” Kit Gray, President of PodcastOne, said. “We couldn’t be more excited to welcome them to PodcastOne and know that their show will be destination programming for podcast audiences.”

    Kelly Osbourne is also preparing to launch a new acting career.

    “I am in training every day and in acting classes every day and really preparing for this new thing that all starts and stops with me being good at it, so it’s a lot of pressure,” she previously said.

    “I also sold three more TV shows this week. It’s all what I did in quarantine. I was like, ‘I want to do a TV show about this and I want to do this about that.’ It all happened because I just sat behind my com­pu­ter and was like, ‘I’m just going to do it.’ ”

    Lucas Till Pens 'Love Letter' to Co-Stars and Crew After 'MacGyver' Cancellation

    CBS

    The Angus MacGyver depicter dedicates his new Instagram post to the castmates and crew members of his television show as he bids farewell after the series is canned.

    Apr 9, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Actor Lucas Till has bid a fond farewell to his title role as MacGyver after TV bosses announced the current season five would be its last.

    The star will appear as Angus MacGyver for the final time as the series finale airs on America’s CBS on 30 April (21), and Till has now reflected on the impact of the action reboot on his career in a farewell post on Instagram.

    “Where to begin?” he started. “The past five years have been what I will look on later as THE most formative years of my life.”

    “Lots of tough, lots of love. I made life long friends, actually no, family. I learned to push myself to new limits, breaking through and through and through.”

      See also…

    “Was nervous to take up the mantle of an icon and you guys allowed me into your homes and accepted me. I’m like the Roger Moore of MacGyvers now thanks to your support. Lol (laugh out loud) (sic).”

    Till went on to offer a “love letter” to his colleagues on the show, insisting they have become his “new family” as he expressed his eternal gratitude to the entire cast and crew.

    “MacGyver” was a reboot of the original 1985 series, which starred Richard Dean Anderson.

    Co-star Robert Patrick was quick to respond to Lucas Till’s message, “So grateful I had an opportunity to work with you on this show! You are an excellent number 1 and set the tone!”

    Wilmer Valderrama penned a similar comment, “I am incredibly proud to know you through all of this my brother. You are a true leader, can’t wait to be front row for your next chapter!”

    Jodie Turner-Smith Leaves 'The Witcher' Prequel, Tyler Perry Develops Madea Origin TV Series

    WENN

    The ‘Queen and Slim’ actress drops out of ‘The Witcher: Blood Origin’ while the Madea creator is revisiting his famous onscreen character for a new television show.

    Apr 9, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    A scheduling conflict has forced Jodie Turner-Smith to exit Netflix’s “The Witcher” prequel.

    The actress was set to lead the cast of the six-part limited series, “The Witcher: Blood Origin”.

    Confirming the news to Deadline on Wednesday night (07Apr21), a Netflix spokesperson said, “Due to a change in the production schedule for The Witcher: Blood Origin limited series, unfortunately Jodie Turner-Smith will no longer be able to continue on in the role of Eile.”

    Her role of an elite warrior will be recast.

    New mum Turner-Smith has a busy 2021 – she’ll star in “After Yang”, opposite Colin Farrell, and Michael B. Jordan’s “Without Remorse”, while she will also star as Anne Boleyn in a three-part U.K. mini-series.

    Meanwhile, Tyler Perry is going back in time to revisit his beloved Madea character as a 20-something for a new TV series.

    The writer/director has teamed with bosses at Showtime to develop drama series “Mabel”, which focuses on the tough-talking matriarch’s origins in the early 1970s.

    Perry and Tim Palen will executive produce the series alongside twin sister writers JaNeika and JaSheika James.

    Tyler launched his career by playing 60-something Mabel ‘Madea’ Earlene Simmons onstage in the play “I Can Do Bad All by Myself”. The role became a film franchise, which began with Perry’s first movie, 2005’s “Diary of a Mad Black Woman”, and ended with “A Madea Family Funeral” in 2019, after which the star insisted he’d never play the character again.
