Featuring the second part of Blind Auditions, the new outing sees coaches Kelly Clarkson, Nick Jonas, John Legend and Blake Shelton trying to get talented singers on their team.

Mar 3, 2021
AceShowbiz – “The Voice” season 20 aired its second episode on Tuesday, March 2. Featuring the second part of Blind Auditions, the new outing saw coaches Kelly Clarkson, Nick Jonas, John Legend and Blake Shelton trying to get talented singers on their team.
The first contestant to perform that night was Gean Garcia, the son of a Spanish Christian artist named John Carlos. He opted to sing “All I Wanted” by Kodaline and it was such a stunning performance as all the coaches turned for him though Nick was blocked by Blake. Gean eventually picked Kelly as his coach.
Aaron Konzelman then hit the stage to sing “Ordinary World” by Duran Duran. His special rendition piqued Blake and John’s interest as they both hit their button. The coaches fought to get Aaron on their respective team but Aaron chose to be on Team Blake.

Hitting the stage to perform later was 17-year-old Carolina Rial, singing “Stay With Me” by Sam Smith to honor her late father. Kelly and Nick tried to convince Carolina that they would be the best coach for her, but she went to Team John. The next singer was also young. Ethan Lively opted to sing “You Look So Good in Love”. Blake loved it so he turned while the other coaches didn’t. Ethan automatically went to Team Blake.
Up next was YellSmiles, but unfortunately no one turned for her. The next contestant was Zae Romeo who sang “Falling”. He shared that he once ran away from home because he didn’t feel loved. He was gone for about 10 days before he saw posters about him up all over town as his adoptive parents had been looking for him. That made him go back home and realize that he was loved.
His emotional performance earned him a rare four-chair turn. He eventually chose to be on Team Nick.

The Princess Diana depicter is ‘incredibly moved’ and her co-star, who depicts Prince Charles, is ‘delighted’ that the Duke of Sussex is ‘way more comfortable’ watching their show than reading tabloids.

Mar 3, 2021
AceShowbiz – Emma Corrin was “incredibly moved” to learn that Britain’s Prince Harry watches “The Crown”.
The actress stars as Harry’s late mother Princess Diana in the Netflix show and won a Golden Globe for her portrayal on Sunday night (28Feb21). And following the Duke of Sussex’s admission that he’s “way more comfortable” watching “The Crown” than reading fake news about his family in tabloids, Emma told Entertainment Tonight that she was touched to learn of her famous viewer.
“It’s difficult, with The Crown, since it is so fictional, it feels so removed from the actual royal family,” she mused. “But on the other hand, the characters are based on real people, so there is something there. I felt incredibly grateful to him. I was incredibly moved by what he said.”

“Obviously, I played his mother and that would have been such a sensitive thing. I was very moved he acknowledged it. I’m glad he enjoyed it; I was very grateful for those words.”
Meanwhile, Josh O’Connor – who plays Harry’s father Prince Charles in the show – added, “I’m delighted. I’m delighted that he watches it. I think anyone who watches it is a great… you know, that’s what we’re there for.”
The Duke was quizzed about his thoughts on the Netflix show during an interview with James Corden. “They don’t pretend to be news,” the royal replied when asked what he made of the programme. “It’s fictional, but it’s loosely based on the truth. Of course, it’s not strictly accurate. It gives you a rough idea of what that lifestyle, what the pressures of putting duty and service above family and everything else, what can come from that.”

‘It’s both an honor and privilege to be hosting ‘After the Final Rose’,’ the best-selling author and the ‘Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man’ host says of the gig.

Mar 2, 2021
AceShowbiz – After Chris Harrison announced that he’d take a hiatus from “The Bachelor” following widespread criticism over his remarks about Rachael Kirkconnell’s past racist behavior, ABC has to find a new host to replace him in “The Bachelor: After the Final Rose”. It has now revealed that Emmanuel Acho will fill in the void left by Chris’ temporary leave.
The best-selling author will sit down with “The Bachelor” lead Matt James and the three finalists in his season, Bri, Michelle and Rachael. The “Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man” host is set to discuss the results of the finale and the current events surrounding the franchise.
“It’s both an honor and privilege to be hosting ‘After the Final Rose’,” said Emmanuel in a statement. “This is an incredibly pivotal episode on one of the most storied shows in television history.”

Chris decided to step aside from the franchise after being under fire for defending Rachael over her racism scandal. “I have spent the last few days listening to the pain my words have caused, and I am deeply remorseful. My ignorance did damage to my friends, colleagues and strangers alike. I have no one to blame but myself for what I said and the way I spoke,” Chris said last month.
“To the Black community, to the BIPOC community: I am so sorry. My words were harmful. I am listening, and I truly apologize for my ignorance and any pain it caused you,” the TV host further 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 continued. “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.”

Bosses at the media organization behind the annual awards ceremony have found themselves under fire due to the revelation that there were no black journalist among its members.

Mar 2, 2021
AceShowbiz – Diversity was front and centre at the Golden Globes on Sunday, February 28, as officials from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association promised to ensure black journalists had “a seat at our table”.
Bosses at the media organisation behind the annual awards ceremony have been under fire in recent days after a Los Angeles Times report revealed that while there were a significant number of people of colour among its 87 members, none of them were black.
The news sparked an uproar in the lead up to the prizegiving, and prompted co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to skewer HFPA executives for the lack of black representation in the group during their opening sequence of the televised show.
“The HFPA is made up of about 90 international – no black – journalists,” Fey quipped, as Poehler acknowledged: “A lot of flashy garbage got nominated. But that happens, that’s like their thing. A number of black actors and black-led projects were overlooked…”
“Inclusivity is important, and there are no black members of the HFPA,” Fey went on to state. “I realise you didn’t get the memo, HFPA, because your workplace is the back booth of a French McDonald’s, but you gotta change that. So here’s to changing it.”

Three representatives from the HFPA then took to the stage and vowed to make amends going forward.
Vice president Helen Hoehne, of Germany, began: “While we celebrate the work of artists from around the globe, we recognise we have our own work to do. Just like in film and television, black representation is vital. We must have black journalists in our organisation.”
“We must ensure everyone from all underrepresented communities get a seat at our table – and we are going to make that happen,” continued former HFPA president Meher Tatna, of India, as the organisation’s current leader, Turkey’s Ali Sar, concluded, “That means creating an environment where diverse membership is the norm, not the exception. Thank you, and we’ll look forward to a more inclusive future.”

The issue continued to be raised throughout the broadcast, as celebrities like guest presenter Sterling K. Brown joked, “It’s great to be black at the Golden Globes, I mean back,” while “Schitt’s Creek” co-creator and star Dan Levy expressed his hope for a more inclusive membership in the near future.

As he accepted the award for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy, he said, “In the spirit of inclusion, I hope that this time next year, this ceremony reflects the true breadth and diversity of the film and television being made today, because there is so much more to be celebrated.”

Mar 2, 2021
AceShowbiz – Anya Taylor-Joy “would jump at the chance” to make a second series of “The Queen’s Gambit”.

“I adore the entire team that made it and I would jump at the chance to work with them again,” she told Entertainment Tonight, before adding that the demand for a second season came as a shock to her and the makers of the programme.
“We just never thought about it,” she insisted. “It was always a sapling to tree transition. You see her grow, you leave her in a good place. So we were genuinely surprised when people were like, ‘Where’s season two?’ ”
