    One day after the British actress was unraveled to have taken over her role, ‘The Meg’ star turns to social media to make it clear she knew all about the former’s casting beforehand.

    Mar 23, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Ruby Rose has given British actress Wallis Day a big thumbs up after she took over the “Batwoman” role of Kate Kane on TV on Sunday night, March 21.

    Wallis made her debut as the character on the CW series, which Ruby exited after just one season in 2020, and fans felt sure there was a bat beef between the Australian and the new star after Rose hinted she would be happy to return to the role in a post last week.

    “The Meg” star wrote, “I’m obviously moving on to other roles as I think I’ve done about three films since, but I would totally do it [reprise Kane]… I would absolutely do anything they wanted.”

    But Rose returned to social media on Monday to make it clear she knew all about Day’s casting and was thrilled for the new Batwoman.

    “I’m sorry I didn’t congratulate @wallisday yesterday,” Ruby wrote on Instagram. “I knew about the casting beforehand and didn’t know when it aired so i forgot to.”

    “But I’m stoked for her! I’m seeing all the things I’m tagged in with people sad or wondering how I felt… I feel great I have nothing but good vibes.”

    Ruby Rose congratulated Wallis Day for her ‘Batwoman’ casting.

    Rose’s Kane was seemingly written out of the show following a mysterious plane crash at the beginning of the new season of the show, and Javicia Leslie took over the lead role as new character Ryan Wilder.

    Wallis herself has expressed her excitement over her casting on Instagram. “I’m sure you can imagine how much this means to me and how incredible it’s been working on the show so far,” the 26-year-old declared in the post.

    “It’s a huge responsibility stepping into the shoes of a character that’s already been established and it’s a journey I’m looking forward to being a part of and hoping you guys do too,” she added. “Everyone’s made me feel so welcome and it’s amazing being back home with my DC family.”

    'RHOA' Co-Stars LaToya Ali and Falynn Guobadia Almost Get Physical After Heated Argument

    Instagram

    The heated argument takes place as the ladies gather at Falynn’s house for Halloween party where LaToya makes unpleasant comments about Falynn’s house and her husband.

    Mar 23, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” newcomer LaToya Ali apparently has established herself as the reality show’s new villain. She made enemies with almost everyone in the season as she nearly got in a physical altercation with Falynn Guobadia after making comments on the latter’s husband.

    The argument took place as the ladies gathered at Falynn’s house for Halloween party. LaToya appeared to get on Falynn’s nerves as she started demanding that Falynn mixed her a drink instead of mixing it for herself like everyone else did. However, the last straw was when she gave Falynn a backhanded compliment about her house and husband.

    LaToya mentioned about Falynn having a 65-year-old husband, while actually Simon is 56-year-old. She kept making such comments until at one point, Falynn was ready to go at her with a golf stick before Kandi Burruss and others stopped her.

    “This is actually not even funny. You cannot come in somebody’s home and disrespect their home and their husband…,” Cynthia Bailey commented on the matter in confessional.

    Fans were also not impressed by LaToya’s behavior. “Toya messy and I wouldn’t want her as a friend she seem gossipy and an attention seeker. I’m not sure what kind of friendship her and [Kenya Moore] have. Weird combination,” one Instagram comment read. Another person said, “Latoya is jealous of Falynn I can tell.”

    “They should’ve let falynn buss her upside her head with that damn club one good time lol,” one user commented. “Falynn better than me cause as soon as Latoya would of been getting rude in my house, she would of been kicked out. Im surprised Falynn let her stay that long. And Latoya needs to drive off you said you was leaving so leave,” one person wrote.

    That was actually not the first time LaToya made unpleasant remarks about Simon. Prior to this, she said that Falynn looked like the type of person who dates “older men with money.”

    Stephen Colbert Breaks It Down for Spring Breakers

    “Hot tip for Miami authorities: If you want young people to stop partying, don’t instate a curfew, just invite a few dads,” Colbert joked. 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.Spring Breaking the RulesCollege students celebrating spring break descended on Miami Beach over the weekend and flouted regulations about social distancing and wearing masks. On Monday night, Stephen Colbert chastised the city’s mayor, Dan Gelber, for saying those partyers were not “following the rules.” “Yes, he wants a spring break that’s not chaotic or disorderly, like in those famous videos, ‘Girls Gone Mild,’” Colbert said.“Things got so out of hand that on Saturday, the city was forced to declare a state of emergency and an 8 p.m. curfew. And, surprise, it didn’t work. Hot tip for Miami authorities: If you want young people to stop partying, don’t instate a curfew, just invite a few dads.” — STEPHEN COLBERT“Yup, now there’s a curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. so spring breakers will have to return to their motel rooms. The best way to guard against Covid is forcing drunks into small, confined spaces, that’s what I’ve always heard.” — JIMMY FALLON“You know things are out of control when Florida is worried about Covid.” — JIMMY FALLON“College kids were like, ‘It’s a shame, ’cause I flew to Miami during a pandemic to party very responsibly.’” — JIMMY FALLON“[imitating partyer] Wooo! I’m with you, my fellow younglings. The virus can’t catch us if we don’t stop dancing! I’m never going to die!” — STEPHEN COLBERT“This is what’s going to happen after Florida’s governor called the state a ‘freedom oasis.’ Like if I put a Starbucks sign above my apartment door, I can’t be mad when people show up and try to take a [expletive] in my bathroom.” — TREVOR NOAH“But let’s be clear here: Covid is not over, all right? Some random dude can’t declare the end of the pandemic by dressing up like the Joker and making it rain. It’s not a thing. Only Anthony Fauci can declare the end of the pandemic by dressing up like the Joker and making it rain.” — TREVOR NOAH“But still, there’s no reason that you can’t celebrate spring break and wear a mask. It could be part of the fun. I mean, just think how sexy a wet mask contest could be, hmm? I mean, we haven’t seen mouths in a year — what’s under there?” — TREVOR NOAH“And if we learned anything from Miami, this is just a preview of how much everyone is going to get loose once the pandemic is truly over. People have been locked up for too long. Once it ends, everyone’s going to be drinking and partying, hooking up with everyone. It’s going to be so much that it’s going to create the next worldwide virus. Yeah, guys are going to be waking up in bed next to a bat like, ‘Uh-oh, I think I did it again.’” — TREVOR NOAHThe Punchiest Punchlines (Biden’s Trip Edition)“Our new president is on a roll, baby. Nothing can stop him now — except stairs.” — STEPHEN COLBERT“He’s facing a lot of challenges in his first 100 days — the vaccine rollout, the crisis at the border, and what happened to Ms. Frizzle. Whew. But over the weekend, he faced his biggest challenge yet: staying upright.” — TREVOR NOAH“I’m sorry, guys, I honestly can’t believe that this happened. The president got knocked over by wind. This is going to be the first president where the Secret Service needs to carry around paperweights: ‘Hold on, sir, hold on. We got you, we got you — someone sneezed.’“ — TREVOR NOAH“He’s fine! Can we blame it on his dog, Major? No? Do it anyway.” — STEPHEN COLBERT“It’s not like this just happened to Joe Biden, all right? It happens all the time. Biden tripped, Obama tripped, Mike Pence tripped. And the reason isn’t because they’re old — the reason is because they were running up and down stairs. You shouldn’t do that.” — TREVOR NOAH“That would never happen in Africa. I mean, mostly because our presidents fly commercial and they have to wait for their boarding group to be called, but you get what I mean.” — TREVOR NOAH“The point is we don’t think about it because we use stairs so much, all right? Nobody thinks about it, but stairs are basically an obstacle course. You take one wrong step and you’re going to eat [expletive]. And that’s one thing — one thing that my man Trump understood. You love him or hate him, but you’ve got to treat stairs with respect. He understood that. You walk up slowly, you hold the banister and you swear to God that if he lets you survive this, you will never walk up stairs ever again.” — TREVOR NOAH“It’s interesting — I feel like they’re the opposite with stairs and Covid. Like with Covid, Trump took no precautions; Biden took every precaution. But on stairs or ramps, Trump’s super careful, always holding the railing, going real slow. Whereas Biden throws caution to the wind, trips upstairs three times. So it’s interesting, you know? It just shows we all contain multitudes.” — SETH MEYERSThe Bits Worth WatchingTrevor Noah looked into the gender disparities taking place as part of this year’s March Madness basketball tournament.What We’re Excited About on Tuesday NightMegan Mullally and Nick Offerman will catch up with Seth Meyers on Tuesday’s “Late Night.”Also, Check This OutPep band players can be some of the biggest basketball fans in the arena.Harry How/Getty ImagesOne noticeable difference for March Madness this year: no live bands.

    'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier' Claims Title of Disney Plus' Most-Watched Series Premiere

    Disney+

    Debuting on March 19, the Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan-starring show is said to have drawn more viewers over the weekend than ‘WandaVision’ and ‘The Mandalorian’.

    Mar 23, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” has broken Disney+ records to become the streaming service’s most-watched series premiere.

    The Marvel spin-off, starring Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, debuted on Friday, March 19 and drew more viewers over the weekend than hits “WandaVision” and the two seasons of “The Mandalorian”.

    The site’s bosses have not released specific viewing figures, but confirm the premiere of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” is bigger than that of “Wandavision”, which wrapped its first season earlier this month (March 2021).

    Disney bosses have more Marvel content planned for the streamer – “Loki” will drop in June, while “Hawkeye” and “Ms. Marvel” is expected to debut later in 2021.

    In addition to Mackie and Stan, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” also has Emily VanCamp, Wyatt Russell, Noah Mills, Carl Lumbly and Daniel Bruhl in its cast ensemble. Both Mackie and Stan reprise their roles as Sam Wilson a.k.a. Falcon and Bucky Barnes a.k.a. Winter Soldier respectively.

    Directed by Kari Skogland, this MCU series was written by Malcolm Spellman. Its first episode picks up six months after the events in “Avengers: Endgame” that saw Captain America handing his shield to Wilson.

    When promoting the series, Mackie was asked about becoming Marvel’s most prominent Black superhero in the wake of Chadwick Boseman’s passing. “I never thought about the passing of Chadwick being an opportunity for Sam Wilson,” he told The Guardian.

    “Chad and I had a lot in common, being from the south and being classically trained from the theater,” he elaborated. “I think that’s why we grew so much as individuals, because there was an understanding. So, I would like to keep up his legacy as an individual human being and as a man, more than keeping up his legacy as Black Panther.”

    David Hasselhoff Simply Excited to Play Himself in German TV Series

    Instagram

    Alongside German actor Henry Hubchen, the former star of ‘Knight Rider’ will lead the show that is titled ‘Ze Network’ and described as an international conspiracy story.

    Mar 23, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    David Hasselhoff is heading to German TV to play a fictionalized version of himself in a new series. The “Baywatch” star will appear in “Ze Network”, alongside German actor Henry Hubchen, who will also play a heightened version of himself, with the show described as an international conspiracy story.

    “Ze Network”, produced for RTL streaming service TV Now, will see David land the lead role in a German stage show, only to be plunged into the center of a conspiracy of former Cold War assassins while the fabric of reality seems to break down around him.

    David, who will also serve as an executive producer, said of the show, “Knight Rider was incredibly successful for both me and RTL. Returning now 30 years later to do a cutting-edge series and working with RTL again is a dream come true. The series is funny, deadly, creative and informative… simply exciting. Fact or fiction, you decide.”

    “Dogs of Berlin” creator Christian Alvart is set to direct “Ze Network”. Speaking of his future collaboration with David for the series, he stated, “I can’t wait to share with audiences the crazy ride Mr. Hasselhoff will be bravely taking on with ‘Ze Germans’.”

    This won’t be the first time the star has played a fictional version of himself – he did the same in “Hoff the Record”, a sitcom which ran for two seasons from 2015 on U.K. TV channel Dave.

    He also appeared in the 2017 movie “Killing Hasselhoff”, in which Ken Jeong portrayed a cash-strapped nightclub owner who hires a hitman to kill the star in a bid to win a celebrity death pool and revive his fortunes.

    Jamie Foxx's Mike Tyson Biopic Heading to TV as Limited Series

    Instagram

    The project, which will see the ‘Ray’ actor in the starring role, will be executive produced by Antoine Fuqua and Martin Scorsese, and is supported by the former heavyweight boxer himself.

    Mar 23, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Jamie Foxx’s portrayal of Mike Tyson is set to hit the small screen as a limited series.

    The project, which began life as a movie in 2014, will be produced for the small screen by Foxx, who will play the boxer, and executive produced by moviemaking heavyweights Antoine Fuqua and Martin Scorsese.

    Terence Winter was initially on board to write the screenplay, but newcomer Colin Preston has now been primed to pen the series.

    “I have been looking to tell my story for quite some time,” Tyson says. “Now feels like the perfect moment. I look forward to collaborating with Martin, Antoine, Jamie, and the entire creative team to bring audiences a series that not only captures my professional and personal journey but also inspires and entertains.”

      See also…

    Foxx impressed fight fans last summer (2020) when he showed off his bulked-up physique – as he got into character to play Tyson – in shots posted online. At the time, he shared, “The transformation begins… ‘FINDING MIKE’. It is no secret that I have been pursuing the @miketyson biopic for some time… people always ask me when is it going to happen?… things have finally lined up…”

    “A few months ago we started the journey… The first but biggest task is to transform the body… with a regiment of pull-ups dips and push-ups we are off to a pretty good start… we have a ways to go but God willing,” he continued. “I shared these early pics of the process… like I said we have a ways to go… But I am prepared to get there! #swipeleft TYSON!”

    His isn’t the only limited series focused on the fearsome heavyweight – but the only one backed by Tyson himself.

    The boxer recently lashed out at Hulu executives after they revealed they had ordered a series, titled “Iron Mike”, from “I, Tonya” screenwriter and director Craig Gillespie and executive produced by Margot Robbie and Karin Gist.

    'The Voice': The Judges Complete Their Teams in Final Night of Blind Auditions

    NBC

    Denesha Dalton from Warwick, New York kicks off the night as she takes the stage to sing ‘Pillow Talk’ by Zayn Malik in front of the judges, Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton, Nick Jonas and John Legend.

    Mar 23, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    “The Voice” returned with the last episode of Blind Auditions on Monday, March 22. Denesha Dalton from Warwick, New York kicked off the night as she took the stage to sing “Pillow Talk” by Zayn Malik. The judges loved her performance as Blake Shelton turned his chair for Denesha with John Legend and Kelly Clarkson following his suit.

    “I felt, before I even turned around, that you were so fearless. It was so authentically you. Your smile is infectious and your style as well. I would love for you to be the last person on my team,” John told Denesha. “I have one spot left on my team, whatever that little break thing is that you invented is priceless,” Blake added. Denesha eventually chose to be on Team Legend.

    Next up was Awari from Virginia Beach. Singing “Weak” by AJR, the 35-year-old singer made Kelly and Nick Jonas hit their button for him. “I hit my button first, I love the song collection. I loved your runs, you weren’t trying too hard, it was emotional,” Kelly said. John, meanwhile, called the performance “phenomenal,” adding, “I am just thinking all the fun we could have dipping into the classic R&B stuff, and that so happens to be one of my wife’s favorite songs. You would make me very happy if you pick me.” Awari picked Nick to be his coach.

    The next singer was Charlotte Boyer, who opted to sing Amy Winehouse’s “Love Is a Losing Game”. Unfortunately, no one turned for her. Keegan Ferrell hoped to go to the next round by singing Maroon 5’s “She Will Be Loved” that succeeded to make Kelly and Blake turn their chair.

    “I happen to be friends with the guy who wrote and sang that song,” Blake told Keegan, referring to his fake enemy and former judge Adam Levine. “I want you to look at this coaching panel. Who is missing and who is in this chair. I don’t want to say that Kelly got Adam fired, but he is gone and she is there. If Maroon 5 inspires you, I don’t know if I would choose a coach that is their arch-nemesis. Your voice is so smooth and I don’t have anyone like you on my team, I don’t want to overstep my bounds but there is someone like you on Kelly’s team. There is only one place left on Team Blake.” Keegan did go to Team Blake.

    Conner Snow followed it up with a performance of “The Sea” by Sam Fisher but no one turned for him. Later, Ainae took the stage to sing “Best Part” by Daniel Caesar. “It takes so much air to do what you did and that means that you are a competitor and ready to go. You are super special and the final person on this show,” Kelly commented. With that, the judges have completed their respective team.

    'American Idol': Claudia Conway Eliminated After Struggling in Duet Week

    ABC

    The daughter of former president counselor Kellyanne Conway is paired with Hannah Everhart but the two seemingly have some issues to bond as Claudia can’t find her partner to rehearse.

    Mar 23, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    “American Idol” returned with the second part of Hollywood Week on Monday, March 22. The episode featured the contestants taking to the stage to perform duets with another hopeful in front the judges, who would decide whether one, both, or neither of the two would go to the next round.

    Claudia Conway, the daughter of former president counselor Kellyanne Conway, was paired with Hannah Everhart. “This is not what I was expecting,” Hannah said when she found out that she was put alongside Claudia. “Who did this? Everybody was laughing, but it wasn’t funny. It was not funny. I was scared.”

    Claudia apparently shared the same sentiment. “We come from totally different worlds. We’re two different people,” she said.

    The pair seemingly had some issues to bond as Claudia couldn’t find her partner to rehearse. “It’s not going too well right now,” she shared. “I don’t know where my partner is. We have to practice and figure this out. Watching all the other pairs working together and collaborating is kind of frustrating me. I’m here to win. I’m here to do the best that I can. I’m here to collaborate with my partner, but there’s no partner to collaborate with.”

    In confessional, Hannah shared that she was “kind of hoping they’d pair me with an older person.” She continued, “I do get along with people my age, but it’s hard finding common ground with people my age because I’m an older soul. But this week you have to live in the now, go with the flow. If you think too hard, you’re just going to stress yourself out.” She eventually came around.

    During the pair’s rehearsal, judge Katy Perry visited and advised them to not overshadow each other. “Create that space. If [Claudia’s] not coming as big as you are, then back off,” she added.

      See also…

    Meanwhile, Claudia revealed that she’s “really nervous abut not living up to my potential or doing the best I can. We have some work to do but I have faith we can get there.”

    It was time for them to perform and the ladies hit the stage to sing Harry Styles’ “Sign of the Times”. The judges were not impressed by the performance with Katy thinking that they didn’t give each other space to shine. “Good grown. Really good growth from where I saw you guys yesterday,” Katy said.

    “I appreciate you both made a conscious choice to work together. You guys were flowing together and harmonizing and that was great, but you didn’t carve out enough individual time. When we finally got those moments from you, we wanted more. So we’re at a crossroads right now. This is the hardest part of our jobs,” Katy admitted.

    “Hannah, you come from a town of about 1,200 or less. Everybody knows you’re here. Don’t let them down. You’re going to the next round,” so she told Hannah. Reffering to Claudia, Katy added, “You’re just coming to life. I can see it in you. You’re taking control of your life. I applaud you for that. Claudia, this is going to be the end of the ‘American Idol’ journey for right now. I hope you learned a lot and come and see us again.”

    Claudia wished the best for Hannah, who got emotional over her newfound friendship with the TikTok star. “It’s been wonderful working with you,” Hannah told Claudia. “I really appreciate your support. You’re a really wonderful person. I wish you the best of luck with whatever route you take.” Claudia replied, “I’m going to be cheering for you. I think you can win this thing!”
