      Chris Noth Won't Return to 'Sex and the City' Reboot

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The actor, who played Sarah Jessica Parker’s onscreen love interest in the 2008 big-screen adaptation, is not slated to reprise his role in the upcoming project.

      Feb 20, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Chris Noth won’t be appearing in the “Sex and the City” reboot.
      The 66-year-old actor starred in the hit series as Carrie Bradshaw’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) love interest Mr. Big, going on to marry the journalist in the 2008 spin-off movie, but according to the New York Post’s Page Six column, he won’t feature in HBO Max’s upcoming limited series “And Just Like That….”
      While it’s unclear as yet how bosses will explain his absence, it’s been suggested that Big and Carrie – who were having marriage problems in the movie sequel – may have split.
      And as well as Chris, who is currently starring in “The Equalizer” alongside Queen Latifah, David Eigenberg – who played Miranda Hobbes’ (Cynthia Nixon) love interest Steve Brady – is also not currently slated to appear on the show, though his representative told the outlet he is in negotiations to feature.

      It has already been confirmed that Kim Cattrall won’t be returning as Samantha Jones, and show bosses previously insisted her absence would be fitting because the programme would reflect the way friendships change and evolve over time.
      HBO Max’s chief content officer, Casey Bloys, said, “They’re not trying to say that these characters are reliving their 30s. It is very much a story about women in their 50s, and they are dealing with things that people deal with in their 50s.”
      “In real life, people come into your life, people leave. Friendships fade, and new friendships start. So I think it is all very indicative of the real stages, the actual stages of life … They’re trying to tell an honest story about being a woman in her 50s in New York. So it should all feel somewhat organic, and the friends that you have when you’re 30, you may not have when you’re 50.”
      As well as Sarah and Cynthia, Kristin Davis is also on board as Charlotte York Goldenblatt.

      Pamela Anderson and Husband's First TV Interview as Newlyweds Branded 'Cringey'

      by

      ITV

      The ‘Baywatch’ actress and her new husband Dan Hayhurst give a bizarre interview from their bed as the couple make their television debut after their secret wedding.

      Feb 20, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Pamela Anderson stunned British TV viewers when she gave a bizarre interview alongside her new husband Dan Hayhurst from her marital bed.
      The “Baywatch” star Pamela appeared on British TV show “Loose Women” on Friday (19Feb21) to speak about her marriage to the builder who she secretly wed in the garden of her Vancouver Island home on Christmas Eve. And in a conversation viewers branded “embarrassing and awkward,” the couple, who was interviewed live from their bed, said they want to remain in lockdown forever while Dan joked about Pamela falling for his manhood.
      The panel asked them about married life and Pamela confessed they hadn’t left their bed since Christmas Eve.
      “I’ve been home for the last year and a half renovating. It’s a gorgeous piece of property. And Dan and his kids are living here too. We’re having a good time,” she said. “We prefer to be by ourselves but it would have been nice to have some people here.”
      As the Loose Women tried to ask them about their relationship Pamela kept moving the camera and the couple giggled away, with Dan asking them if they wanted to go under the covers.
      And talking about what made them fall for one another, Dan said, “I couldn’t resist and she couldn’t resist me? I’ll show you under the covers if you want.”

      Panellist Nadia Sawalha said when the interview came to an end, “I think that was the most unusual chat we’ve ever done, it was fabulous.”
      [embedded content]
      Fans soon took to Twitter to slam the interview, calling it “awkward” and “cringeworthy.”
      One Twitter user Aaron Spencer said, “This Pamela Anderson interview on # loosewomen is the weirdest thing I have ever watched.”
      While another added, “Was it only me that found that interview with Pamela Anderson totally nauseating? So not necessary.”
      And Jen said, “That’s the weirdest, most awkward, cringey interview I’ve ever witnessed.”

She plays a recent college graduate caught between her big-city fashion dreams and a high school sweetheart. Like most of her roles, the character is “incredibly strong willed,” she said. “I’ve never played a character who’s been second in command. Even if she had power taken from her, she’s always managed to get it back.”Big break: “I’ve always been a show-off,” Ms. Stasey said of her childhood, which was filled with choir and drama clubs. At 12, she auditioned for “The Sleepover Club,” an Australian TV comedy series in which five young girls bond over weekly sleepovers. “When I got the call, I had no idea which character I would play,” she said.The offer was for Frankie, the lead.

At night, the cast members transformed their rooms into nightclubs.Sam Vartholomeos, who plays Ms. Stasey’s on-screen boyfriend Jimmy, was the resident D.J. “I think it will be a thing I think about when I’m dying,” she said. “I remember being young and cool and living in that hotel.”AdvertisementContinue reading the main story More

      Allison Janney Thanks Anna Faris as She Bids Goodbye to Canceled 'Mom'

      by

      CBS

      Shortly after producers announced that the hit sitcom will wrap up with season 8, the Bonnie Plunkett depicter shares a lengthy message in which she called the show one of the ‘great honors’ of her life.

      Feb 19, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Actress Allison Janney is heartbroken over the shock cancellation of her hit U.S. sitcom “Mom”, calling her role in the addiction-themed show one of the “great honours” of her life.
      Show producers Chuck Lorre, Gemma Baker, and Nick Bakay and president of CBS Entertainment Kelly Kahl announced the sad news on Wednesday, February 17, revealing the show will end on May 6, at the end of its current eighth season, eight months after the sudden departure of series star Anna Faris, who abruptly left the programme in September 2020, days before its now-final season went into production, reportedly blindsiding showrunners and her castmates.
      And now stunned Allison, who told chat show host Ellen DeGeneres on Tuesday that she and her co-stars planned to “keep telling the stories as long as we can”, has broken her silence following the cancellation news with a lengthy post on Instagram on.
      “Getting to be part of MOM these past 8 years… showing the laughter, love and hope that can come with recovery, has been one of the great honors of my life,” she wrote, alongside a screenshot of the cancellation news in The Hollywood Reporter.
      “I want to thank Chuck Lorre, Gemma Baker, Nick Bakay, and all the writers…,” she continued, listing 22 names, “for giving us these wonderfully flawed and lovable characters to bring to life. I miss seeing all of your faces.”
      ⁣ “And these amazingly talented actors I got to act with everyday!!! Mimi, Jaime, Kristen, Beth, and the coolest man on the planet, Bill Fichtner. and of course Anna Faris. ⁣ Jamie Widdoes [director] for your patience and dedication and enormous talent steering this ship! ⁣ Our entire crew, your laughter and love and dedication to this show has made it a joy to come to work.”

        See also…

      “And last but not least all of our extraordinary fans!!! Thank you for all of your support over the years,” she concluded her post with a praying hands emoji.

      There is hope that another network might snap up the series and fans have launched a petition to save the show, which co-stars Mimi Kennedy and Kristen Johnston are backing online.

      Kennedy, who plays Marjorie on the show, has shared a link to the Change.org petition on Instagram and wrote, “The audience has a voice and shouldn’t be be ignored.”

      Kristen Johnston expressed disappointment at cancellation of ‘Mom’.
      And Johnston, who plays recovering addict Tammy Diffendor, has also shared her disappointment, tweeting, “Such a huge bummer. This show has been such a total joy & honor to be a part of. It’s been life-changing for me to be on a show that’s about recovery & women supporting each other thru thick & thin. Plus, ‘Mom’ has the BEST fans ever.”

      'NCIS: New Orleans' Bidding Farewell With Current Seventh Season

      by

      CBS

      The ‘Naval Criminal Investigative Service’ spinoff starring Scott Bakula will not be picked up for another season after the current seventh season airs final episode later this year.

      Feb 19, 2021
      AceShowbiz – International TV hit “NCIS: New Orleans” is to end after its current seventh season.
      The show, starring Scott Bakula, will close with a finale set to air in the U.S. on 16 May (21) – the series’ 155th episode.
      “Sad to end our love affair with this phenomenal city but so grateful for all the friends we made along the way,” Bakula, who also serves as an executive producer, said on Wednesday (17Feb21). “I will miss the music. Big thank you to CBS for seven years.”
      Showrunners Christopher Silber and Jan Nash added, “It has been our sincere pleasure and honour to work on this show and with this incredible cast and crew for over 150 episodes. As disappointed as we are to see NOLA end, we couldn’t be prouder of the work we’ve done and are grateful to the spectacular and resilient Crescent City that embraced us for seven wonderful years.”

        See also…

      As “NCIS: New Orleans” comes to an end, Silber and Nash are working on a new spin-off, “NCIS: Hawaii”.
      The “NCIS” franchise launched with the 2003 mothership series, starring Mark Harmon. The show remains one of the world’s biggest TV hits, spawning “NCIS: Los Angeles”, which premiered in 2009.
      Rumor has it, the upcoming “Hawaii” spinoff would likely use the production base previously built on the islands for the “Hawaii Five-0” reboot.
      The “Five-0” remake premiered in 2010, three decades after the original show came to an end. Starring the likes of Alex O’Loughlin, Scott Caan, Daniel Dae Kim, Grace Park, and Taryn Manning, the reboot concluded in April 2020 after 10 seasons.

      Tayshia Adams Praises Chris Harrison for Taking Break From 'Bachelor' After Racism Controversy

      by

      Instagram

      While Tayshia admits that the TV host’s words ‘affected a lot of people, you know, myself included,’ she thinks the fact that he takes ownership of his mistake ‘speaks volumes on his behalf.’

      Feb 19, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Tayshia Adams has weighed in on Chris Harrison’s decision to step aside from “The Bachelor” franchise “for a period of time” following his controversial comments about contestant Rachael Kirkconnell’s past racist behavior. In a new interview on Thursday, February 18, Tayshia claimed that the decision was “a really good thing.”
      “I think after reading his apology there’s a few things that stuck out to me, it hit my heart a little bit more to know he actually meant what he was saying,” she said during her appearance on “Click Bait with Bachelor Nation”. “He said, ‘By excusing historical racism I defended it,’ which is the absolute truth, and the fact that he called that out and owned up to that and he acknowledges that, means a lot to me.”
      She went on saying, “Also the fact that he said, ‘This is not just a moment but a commitment to much greater understanding that I will actively make each day,’ also meant a lot to me, because it isn’t just a moment, just like how Blacks Lives Matter isn’t just a trending topic on Instagram — it’s a thing that’s taking place every single day that we should actively try to partake in and better.”

      Tayshia added that Chris’ words “affected a lot of people, you know, myself included.” She continued, “I think that by him taking ownership, and just not just saying issue an apology and then just going back to work the next day like nothing happened speaks volumes on his behalf.”
      Chris announced that he decided to take a break from the franchise on February 13 in addition to apologizing to the black community, to the BIPOC community. “My words were harmful. I am listening, and I truly apologize for my ignorance and any pain it caused you,” the TV host pleaded. “I want to give my heartfelt thanks to the people from these communities who I’ve had enlightening conversations with over the past few days, and I am so grateful to those who have reached out to help me on my path to anti-racism.”
      “The historic season of The Bachelor should not be marred or overshadowed by my mistakes or diminished by my actions,” he elaborated. “To that end, I have consulted with Warner Bros. and ABC and will be stepping aside for a period of time and will not join for the After the Final Rose special.”
      Chris landed in hot water after defending Rachael for allegedly attending a 2018 fraternity party that a Reddit user described as an “antebellum plantation themed ball” while discussing the matter with former “The Bachelorette” star Rachel Lindsay.
