      George Clooney to Tackle New 'Buck Rogers' Series as Executive Producer

      The ‘Catch-22’ actor is currently not signed up to appear in the new show that is said to be Legendary’s ‘prestige limited series’ and be developed as a ‘starring vehicle’ for him.

      Jan 30, 2021
      AceShowbiz – George Clooney is set to produce a new “Buck Rogers” TV series.
      According to The Hollywood Reporter, Clooney will executive produce the new show with his Smokehouse partner Grant Heslov. And while he’s currently not signed up to appear in the series, it’s reportedly being developed as a “starring vehicle” for him.
      The project is being developed as a “prestige limited series” by Legendary, with the hopes that it can also launch a film and animated spinoff if successful.
      Buck Rogers first appeared in Philip Francis Nowlan’s 1928 novel “Armageddon 2419 A.D”, before going on to land his own comic strip – which told the story of how Rogers was trapped in a coal mine during a cave-in, before waking up 500 years in the future.

      The comic strip, which also prompted other newspapers to launch strips such as “Flash Gordon” and “John Carter of Mars”, ran until 1967.
      It’s not the first time it’s been adapted into a TV series. However, the two TV shows in 1950 and 1979 were both short-lived.
      Clooney has not appeared on the small screen since “Catch-22” in 2019.
      That aside, Clooney has been flaunting her happy marriage to Amal Clooney. The “Ocean’s Eleven” star revealed in a new interview that they kept their tradition to exchange love letters despite spending more time than ever together under the same roof due to COVID-19 lockdown.
      “Even in lockdown, I’ll write a letter and slip it on her desk, or she’ll write a letter and leave it under the pillow,” the actor told AARP the Magazine. “I’m a big believer in letters. I have letters from Paul Newman, Walter Cronkite, Gregory Peck. I have them framed. I put them in the house.”

      Twitter Explodes After 'Jeopardy!' Contestants Fail to Recognize Dave Chappelle

      During a Double Jeopardy round on the popular game show, interim host Ken Jennings gives a clue about Dave as a photo of the ‘A Star is Born’ actor appears on screen.

      Jan 30, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Despite having multiple Grammy and Emmy Awards and a hit TV show, there are some people out there who don’t know Dave Chappelle. While it’s hard to believe, that was exactly what happened in the Thursday, January 28 episode of “Jeopardy!”.
      During a Double Jeopardy round in the episode of the popular game show, interim host Ken Jennings said, “This comedian displayed his drama chops in ‘A Star is Born’, playing Bradley Cooper’s longtime friend,” as a photo of Dave appeared on screen. Surprisingly, the contestants appeared to have no idea who the comedian was as no one was able to answer the question that was worth $2000.
      Twitterverse quickly reacted to it in total disbelief. “How did nobody know that was the GREAT Dave Chappelle?! #Jeopardy,” one user questioned. Another fan added, “No one recognized Dave Chappelle during Jeopardy? What is, ‘who are these people?’ ”

      Echoing the sentiment, another fan tweeted, “Watching Jeopardy last night and screaming at my TV ‘Who is Dave Chappelle, Who is Dave Chappelle???’ How can they not know who he is? Put down the book and watch some Netflix or Comedy Central. Live a little people!” Another comment read, “It’s crazy enough that a picture of @DaveChappelle was a $2000 clue on Jeopardy tonight – what’s more incredible is no one got it right!”
      Meanwhile, one person was more concerned about the fact that those people didn’t watch Oscar-winning movie “A Star Is Born” that stars Bradley Cooper and Lady GaGa. “I think it’s less about not knowing Dave Chappelle and more about the fact that those contestants didn’t see ‘A Star Is Born’. #Jeopardy,” the person wrote.
      While that particular moment stunned Twitter users, Dave himself has yet to weigh in on the matter.

      The ‘Call Me by Your Name’ actor, who was set to play producer Al Ruddy in ‘The Offer’, has also pulled out of star-studded ‘Gaslit’ and Jennifer Lopez-starring ‘Shotgun Wedding’.

      Jan 29, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Armie Hammer has reportedly pulled out of a new TV series about the making of movie classic “The Godfather”, amid his ongoing social media sex scandal.
      The actor was set to play producer Al Ruddy in “The Offer”, but Deadline sources have revealed Hammer has stepped down after a string of exes came forward with claims about his alleged odd sexual appetites, with one sharing messages she and Armie reportedly exchanged.
      The news comes two weeks after Hammer exited Jennifer Lopez’s new Lionsgate movie, “Shotgun Wedding”, and the star-studded cast of “Gaslit”.

      Following the “Shotgun Wedding” exit, Armie released a statement, which read, “I’m not responding to these bulls**t claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic. Lionsgate is supporting me in this and I’m grateful to them for that.”
      Josh Duhamel is reportedly in talks to replace Hammer in “Shotgun Wedding”, while his vacant roles in “Gaslit” and “The Offer” are being recast.
      Armie made headlines after being accused of having cannibal fantasies on the leaked DM. “I am 100 per cent a cannibal. I want to eat you,” one message read. Another message alleged that the actor had cut “the heart out of an animal” and ate it. Other screenshots include alleged messages from the actor asking if he can drink people’s blood.

      Andy Cohen Reacts to Meghan McCain Wanting to Cancel 'RHOC'

      Writer Evan Ross Katz and the ‘View’ co-host call for a cancellation on ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’, while the latter is asking Andy to reboot one other show.

      Jan 29, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “Real Housewives” franchise may be one of hit TV franchises but not everyone is a fan of it. Among those who seemingly aren’t enjoying of the Bravo reality shows were TV host Meghan McCain and writer Evan Ross Katz.
      Evan started the conversation by writing on Twitter on Thursday, January 28, “It’s time to cancel RHOC,” referring to “The Real Housewives of Orange County”. Meghan seemingly couldn’t agree more. “Yes,” replied “The View” co-host.
      Andy Cohen, the executive producer of the franchise, quickly caught wind of the conversation. “I think you mean reBOOT,” so he told them. To that, Meghan responded, “I have thoughts…. also since I have both of your attention and currently live in the beltway – please Reboot DC housewives PLEASE.”
      Andy didn’t directly answer to Meghan’s request about rebooting “The Real Housewives of D.C.”, but he did say that he “loved RHDC.”

      Andy Cohen reacted to Meghan McCain wanting ‘RHOC’ canceled.
      Meanwhile, season 15 of “RHOC” stars Braunwyn Windham-Burke, Kelly Dodd, Shannon Beador, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson and Elizabeth Lyn Vargas. Braunwyn and Kelly were feuding last season with the latter accusing the mother of seven of faking her alcoholism for a story line.
      “I know I cannot film with Braunwyn,” the Positive Beverage founder claimed during an Instagram Live on Wednesday, January 27. “I know for a fact that I cannot film with her. There’s just no way, and if she comes back then I’m out because I know for a fact that I cannot. She’s dangerous and calling people racists and homophobic.”
      Back in 2020, Braunwyn clapped back at Kelly for saying that she was exaggerating her alcoholism issues. “I’ve learned through others that when people have a hard time with me being sober it’s more about their own issue. Were people in my life telling me to ‘clean up my act,’ ” she wrote via Instagram at the time.
      “Hell ya, I was black out drinking most days….did I get sober for the show? Maybe, I knew we were filming soon and I was scared to have what happened the year before (I don’t remember some scenes.) Is there a doubt in anyone’s mind who knows me I’m an alcoholic? No. It’s low, but she’s pretty vile and cruel so it’s not unexpected,” she continued saying.

      by

      Instagram

      The self-proclaimed ‘queen’ also reveals that she apologized ‘privately’ to fellow cast members with whom she was feuding on the show, adding that she views ‘all women as queens.’

      Jan 29, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Victoria Larson is one of the most outstanding contestants in Matt James’ season of “The Bachelor”, but she may not be known for a good thing. Viewers appear to see her as a villain of the season as many label her a bully. Addressing the matter, Victoria took to her Instagram Story to get candid about her ups and downs with other contestants on the show.
      “I think in my effort to make my opinions heard it may have been perceived as bullying by some, and I feel bad if my words or actions offended anyone,” the 28-year-old wrote in a now-deleted post. “I take time each day to reflect and learn the lesson.”
      She went on saying that she learned from her experience on the ABC dating competition show. “I think it’s important to learn from the past, live in the present, and to always move forward with a positive attitude. We learn more each day about social media and how it impacts us. I just want to encourage us all to be more positive and supportive,” she added.

      The self-proclaimed “queen” also revealed that she apologized “privately” to fellow cast members with whom she was feuding on the show, claiming that she viewed “all women as queens.” She then concluded her message, “Lastly, of course name calling is never OK, but I hold myself accountable and can just do better next time. I cannot change the past. It truly was not malicious and I am so sorry. I love each girl I met on my journey!”
      Prior to this, a picture of Victoria’s mugshot when she was arrested for shoplifting surfaced online. It was reported that back in 2012, she was caught stealing $250 worth of items from a Tallahassee Publix. In a CCTV video, she was seen placing 25 items, from grocery food to cosmetics, into a reusable shopping bag inside her shopping cart. However, she didn’t pay for those items when using the self check-out.
      The California native was allegedly brought back inside not long after she exited the store and was immediately detained until police arrived on the scene. She was booked into and stayed in Leon County Jail for two days before she was released after posting $1,000 bail.
      Victoria reportedly pleaded no contest in court to charges of petit theft, earning her six months of probation. She also was required to pay hundreds of dollars in fees and attend theft awareness classes.
