      Instagram

      After wrapping her last ever scenes for the hit reality show, the wife of Kanye West also shared a quick look behind the scenes wherein she and the crew were having a drink in her backyard.

      Jan 14, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Kim Kardashian and her family have celebrated the end of filming on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” by treating the camera crew to luxury Rolex watches.
      The E! reality show wrapped its last ever scenes this week (begins January 11), and to mark the end of an era, the stars gave each of the 30 crewmembers a $10,000 (£7,350) timepiece, according to TMZ.
      Kim previously admitted she was “officially sobbing” as “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” wrapped for good.
      Taking a selfie while holding a glass of Champagne, she told her millions of Instagram followers, “Officially sobbing. Grateful for every single second.”

      Kim Kardashian shared her thoughts on the end of ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ filming.
      Kim also shared a quick behind-the-scenes video, in which she admitted it was “crazy” that the show was coming to an end.

      In the clip, she said, “We just finished filming forever, like ever, ever. We’re done, we’re never filming again – isn’t that so crazy?! So we’re having a drink with the crew in my backyard, hanging out. Cheers to – I don’t know. 15 years; 20 seasons of craziness and lots of love.”

      The Kardashian family announced the decision to end the show in September 2020. Kim wrote in a statement at the time, “It is with heavy hearts that we’ve made the difficult decision as a family to say goodbye to Keeping Up with the Kardashians.”
      She continued, “After what will be 14 years, 20 seasons, hundreds of episodes and numerous spin-off shows, we are beyond grateful to all of you who’ve watched us for all of these years – through the good times, the bad times, the happiness, the tears, and the many relationships and children. We’ll forever cherish the wonderful memories and countless people we’ve met along the way.”
      “Thank you to the thousands of individuals and businesses that have been a part of this experience,” she added, “and, most importantly, a very special thank you to Ryan Seacrest for believing in us, E! for being our partner, and our production team at Bunim/Murray, who’ve spent countless hours documenting our lives.”
      Fans of the Kardashians won’t have to wait too long for the stars to be back onscreen – they have since signed a new deal with Disney officials to launch new projects on their Hulu streaming service.

      by

      OWN

      Announcing the end of OWN’s first scripted original series, Oprah Winfrey thanks her ‘big little brother’ Perry as well as its incredible cast, its tireless crew and every single viewer.

      Jan 13, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Tyler Perry’s hit drama series “The Haves and the Have Nots” is set to end with its current eighth season.
      The TV show, based on Perry’s play of the same name, stars John Schneider and Tika Sumpter as wealthy family members who have to navigate the “complicated dynamic” with their employees.
      It was the first scripted original series to launch on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) back in 2013, and the news of its conclusion emerged ahead of the midseason finale, which aired on Tuesday (January 12).

        See also…

      The final eight episodes of season eight, written and executive produced by Perry, are set to premiere in May. In the dramatic final eight episodes with a finale no one will see coming, the wealthy residents of Savannah, Georgia are involved in a true-to-life Greek tragedy as Judge Jim Cryer (Schneider) and his rich friends find out what happens when personal flaws go unchecked. Karma has not been kind to the elite one percenters.
      Sharing the news, Oprah Winfrey writes in a statement, “‘The Haves and the Have Nots’ was the first scripted drama we aired on OWN, and to say it took off from the first day it hit the air is an understatement.”
      “It’s all due to one man’s creativity and very vivid imagination, a man I refer to as my ‘big little brother,’ Tyler Perry. I thank Tyler, the incredible cast, the tireless crew and every single viewer who watched with bated breath each week and tweeted along with us these past eight years. I will be watching alongside you all during this final season.”

      CNN

      Sidner couldn’t hold back her tears while delivering her reports on COVID-19 and its impact on communities of color from California in the Tuesday episode of ‘New Day’.

      Jan 13, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Coronavirus pandemic is just too much to take for CNN’s reporter Sara Sidner. Sidner couldn’t hold back her tears while delivering her reports on COVID-19 and its impact on communities of color from California in the Tuesday, January 12 episode of “New Day”.
      In her coverage, Sidney interviewed Juliana Jimenez Sesma, who lost her mother and stepfather less than two weeks apart. Sesma and her family held a funeral in a parking lot. “This is the tenth hospital that I have been – I’m sorry,” Sidner told host Alisyn Camerota before choking up on her tears. “I apologize. I’m gonna try to get through this,” she added.
      “This is the tenth hospital that I have been in, and to see the way that these families have to live after this, and the heartache that goes so far and so wide… It’s really hard to take,” Sidner went on to say with tears in her eyes. “I’m sorry, Alisyn.”

        See also…

      Camerota assured Sidner that there was “no apology needed.” She went on to say, “We’ve been watching your reporting on the ground throughout this horrific year, and we have all been struck by the grief – by the collective grief that all of us are in.”
      Continuing her report, Sidner shared, “These families should not be going through this. No family should be going through this. Do whatever you can to keep this from killing your family members and your neighbors and your friends and your teachers and doctors and firefighters. All of these people are here to help you, but you have to do your part.”

      Her report also touched so many hearts including CNN Political Correspondent Abby Phillip’s. “[email protected] we love you. Thank you for your heart and dedication to your work. The stories you tell will save lives,” he told Sidner on Twitter. To that, Sidner replied, “Thank you @abbydphillip. I needed to compose myself but failed. This means a lot.”

We’re all stuck at home at the moment, so here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now.Pence’s Choice: ‘Have MAGA Nation Hate You’The House on Tuesday formally called on Vice President Mike Pence to remove President Trump from office using the 25th Amendment, an idea Pence had already rejected.Though Pence did not yield to pressure from Trump to overturn the election results last week, which he did not have the authority to do anyway, he said that invoking the 25th Amendment “would further divide and inflame the passions of the moment.” Those passions include some of Trump’s supporters, whose votes the vice president would probably need for his own White House run, chanting, “Hang Mike Pence” as they stormed the Capitol in an effort to stop the election certification.“It’s a tough choice for Pence: Invoke the 25th and have MAGA nation hate you, or refuse and still have MAGA nation hate you,” Jimmy Fallon joked.“Of course Mike Pence isn’t going to do that. He’s not going to remove Donald Trump. Mike Pence doesn’t even remove his shirt.” — JIMMY KIMMEL“You could tell Pence was nervous, because he spent all day slamming milks like it was Friday at 5 p.m.” — JIMMY FALLON“And you’d think Pence would be into the idea, considering the whole ‘Hang him’ thing. But you would be dead wrong, because yesterday, after days of silence, ‘The president and Mike Pence spoke for the first time, meeting in the Oval Office, and agreed that those who broke the law and stormed the Capitol last week do not represent their policy of America first.’ Well, of course this mob violence wasn’t America first — it was in Germany first. So, apparently, it’s all water under the gallows now.” — STEPHEN COLBERT“The president and Mike Pence reportedly spoke yesterday in the Oval Office for the first time since last week’s attack on the Capitol, which had to be pretty awkward. But don’t worry, Trump accepted Pence’s apology.” — SETH MEYERS”Yeah, we’ve all been in Pence’s shoes, though, you know what I mean? That uncomfortable meeting with your boss after he sends a crazed mob of vengeful rioters to zip-tie you.” — JIMMY FALLONThe Punchiest Punchlines (Alamo Edition)“Big T flew to Alamo, Texas, today to brag about his wall — and to remind the American people that he’s not just a dangerous megalomaniac; he’s also a racist.” — JIMMY KIMMEL“Meanwhile, a confused Rudy Giuliani waited patiently 300 miles away at Al’s Amo.” — SETH MEYERS“It was very wise of Trump to take a victory lap at the border the same week his supporters showed the world that walls serve almost no purpose whatsoever when it comes to keeping people who want in out.” — JIMMY KIMMEL“Well, that’s a wrap on a flawless administration.” — JAMES CORDEN“When they heard Trump was coming to the border, Mexico was like, ‘Phew, thank God that wall is here.’” — JIMMY FALLON“You know your presidency is off the rails when you have to distract from your attempted coup with your giant symbol of racism.” — JIMMY FALLON“What a nice reminder of how much the president hates people storming barriers and entering places they aren’t legally allowed.” — JAMES CORDEN“When asked what he was doing there, Trump said, ‘I’m just planning my escape.’” — JIMMY FALLON“Yup, Trump visited the border in the town of Alamo, Texas.

      Rupert Grint Sees a Stage Mother in His Daughter’s Future

Reilly’s unsung alter ego, Dr. Steve Brule, on his list of cultural must-haves.Credit…Eugene Gologursky/Getty Images For ReedpopJan. 12, 2021, 2:16 p.m. ETRupert Grint wasn’t too put out when, in March, the pandemic halted production on “Servant,” the M. Night Shyamalan psychological thriller about a couple who replace their dead baby with a doll.His partner, the actress Georgia Groome, was pregnant with their daughter, Wednesday, and the lockdown meant that Grint could savor the early months of her life in the sanctuary of their North London home. He could also purge his mind of the freakish, claustrophobic “Servant” world — a Philadelphia brownstone cluttered with baby paraphernalia, including, rather eerily, the same stroller they’d bought for Wednesday.“I guess it’s not the best show to be involved with when you become a father,” said Grint, who plays the doll-baby’s brash, hard-drinking uncle, Julian. “The set does have this kind of weird energy because the tragic event that has taken place does linger in the walls. I’d often feel a sense of relief when I snuck off.”Still, new fatherhood helped him to better understand the psychology of Dorothy (Lauren Ambrose), the show’s tormented mother, once he returned to set this fall.“It’s something I wasn’t aware of about love,” he said, calling to discuss his cultural must-haves as Wednesday babbled in the background, “and how you’ll do anything to get your baby back.”These are edited excerpts from the conversation.1. “Rose’s Turn” From “Gypsy,” the Ethel Merman Version Weirdly, I’ve never seen the show, never seen a movie version. I don’t know how I’ve escaped it because I know it’s huge. But this winter, around Christmas, I heard the song by chance on the radio and got obsessed with it. There are just so many different levels to it. I know the context now, and it really moved me. I saw Imelda Staunton [Dolores Umbridge in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1”] perform it on YouTube, which is absolutely incredible. But I love listening to Ethel’s version. Just the maternal kind of passion that comes through. I also think I’m going to be a huge stage mom, so maybe I was connecting to that.2. Children’s Books by Tomi Ungerer I think Wednesday is still slightly young for them, but we’ve got a massive library ready for her. And these are great books — so ahead of their time and so beautifully illustrated. There’s one called “Otto,” and it’s the autobiography of this [teddy] bear, and I was an absolute wreck after reading it. It goes through his whole life, but I guess you could say it’s really about Auschwitz and how the bear experiences the camp. It sounds not suitable for kids, but I think Ungerer is not afraid of showing the darkness of humanity.3. Miniature Pottery This has been a lockdown hobby that I’ve taken up. You actually throw pots on a proper wheel, which is about the size of a dollar coin. The wheel is something I’ve always been in awe of, just making something from something as raw as a blob of clay. It’s such a therapeutic thing, and you completely get lost in thought. They’re so quick as well. I’ve made some really cool things, like miniature vases, cookie jars, teapots. They’re an inch or a little bigger, kind of a doll’s house scale. They’re all completely useless.4. Malcolm Gladwell’s “Revisionist History” This has been my go-to nighttime podcast for a while now. He has a great way of dissecting moments in history that I had no idea about and subverting them, making me understand what happened. It’s quite short and easy to digest. A really good one was the redo of the McDonald’s fries and how they changed the recipe over the years. Another was about Leonard Cohen’s song “Hallelujah,” the struggles he had writing it. It goes quite in depth about the kind of minutiae that I always, always love.5. “The Curse of Oak Island” I have always been intrigued about this group of treasure hunters on this island off Nova Scotia. It’s this great ensemble of personalities of these quite weathered, denim-wearing men just obsessed with this treasure that possibly isn’t there. There’s something quite tragic about it, but also it’s just beautifully made. And the real treasure is them finding each other to do this thing that they can only do for a few months of the year. It’s never-ending.6. “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” It’s sheer escapism. I’ve always loved the Zelda world. It’s not like I’m some huge pro gamer, but this game absolutely took hours of my life. It has incredible stories, beautiful graphics. You can forage for berries and cook on a campfire. I haven’t completed it in its entirety, but it’s a really special piece of work. I don’t think gamers get enough credit for what they create. There are amazing worlds where you can completely immerse yourself when they’re done well. I think Zelda just may be perfect.7. Backgammon I’ve always loved board games and got a huge collection over the years. Probably about four years ago, Georgia and I got a backgammon board and taught ourselves to play. We take a board everywhere we go now. Everyone’s mad about chess after “The Queen’s Gambit.” But backgammon, I think, is an older game, and there’s an element of luck that involves the dice. We went through a phase of playing like 10 games a day. It really changes the brain.8. Middle Child Sandwiches It’s an absolute go-to place that I discovered when I first went to Philly, and Philly is such a great place for food anyway that you don’t have to go far. Middle Child does one thing perfectly: The hoagie is the space it’s playing in. They’re simple but they’re just so good. And the décor is very hipster, very cool. I go for the Shopsin Club or the Surfer. You can’t go wrong there.9. Urban Beekeeping I’ve done this for four years now. It’s not easy, but it’s absolutely fascinating. I’m not sure what prompted us to get into it, because I am terrified of being stung. Bees are such an important thing and watching them in this hive is just incredible — how hard they’re working and how each has a different job. There are nurse bees, and undertaker bees that carry out the dead bees like coffin-bearers. It’s insane to watch. I have one hive in our backyard, just in a quiet corner. They keep to themselves. You think you’d be invaded by bees everywhere, but they’re very deliberate. They know exactly where to go to get pollen. It’s a really happy colony. I am in absolute awe of the queen.10. “Check It Out! With Dr. Steve Brule” I think he never really admitted it, but I find it fascinating that [John C. Reilly] has created this character that really is a whole different person. It’s just such an absurd character and so well-formed that he can let us know what they’re thinking. It’s a real skill to create something like that. I’m getting into more American comedy. Lots of old “S.N.L.” and “Tim & Eric,” which is where Steve Brule was born from. I love that anarchy and chaos they create.AdvertisementContinue reading the main story More

      'The Lincoln Lawyer' Series Adds Manuel Garcia-Rulfo to Title Role

      by

      WENN/Avalon

      In the new Netflix series based on Michael Connelly’s bestselling novels about lawyer Mickey Haller, ‘The Magnificent Seven’ star will take on the role Matthew McConaughey played on the big screen.

      Jan 12, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Manuel Garcia-Rulfo has been tapped to take on the role Matthew McConaughey played on the big screen in a new Netflix series based on Michael Connelly’s bestselling novels about lawyer Mickey Haller.
      “The Magnificent Seven” and “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” star will lead the cast of “Big Little Lies” creator David E. Kelley’s revamped “The Lincoln Lawyer” project, which was originally set up at CBS last season.

      Connelly, who has written six Haller books in the past 12 years, is thrilled about the series and Garcia-Rulfo’s casting, calling the actor “wonderful and talented”.

      “I’m thrilled to call Netflix our home,” Connelly wrote in a blog announcing the new serie. “And I’m excited to bring this rich, multilayered story filled with intriguing characters and mysteries to solve to millions of viewers – both old and new fans – around the world.”
      “Manuel is the ideal Mickey Haller, who is following in the footsteps of his attorney father with the showmanship of his Mexican movie star mother,” Connelly added. “He brings a powerful dynamic and dimension to the role – one that aligns with the books and brings authenticity to the Latinx heritage and roots of this Los Angeles-based story.”
      The 10-episode first season is based on the second book in “The Lincoln Lawyer” series, “The Brass Verdict”, and revolves around Haller, who runs his law practice from his Lincoln Town Car.
      Connelly will also executive produce alongside Kelley.
      “The Lincoln Lawyer” was days away from starting production after CBS bosses ordered a pilot when the coronavirus pandemic shut down all filming in March (20). Two months later the TV executives opted not to go forward with the project.

      Selena Gomez Enlists Kelis and Curtis Stone for Season 2 of 'Selena + Chef'

      by

      HBO Max/Instagram

      The ‘Lose You to Love Me’ hitmaker has unveiled a teaser to the new season of her hit HBO Max show, offering a sneak peek at one cooking session that went awry and glimpses at the virtual experts.

      Jan 12, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Kelis Stone and Curtis Stone will be among the top chefs helping Selena Gomez become a better cook in the upcoming second season of her hit HBO Max show “Selena + Chef”.
      The singer and actress shared a teaser for the new season on social media on Monday (January 11), revealing she’ll be back in the kitchen with her grandfather, learning how to perfect some of her favourite meals with the help of virtual experts, also including Graham Elliott, Aarti Sequeira, and Jose Andres.
      “As you all know by now, I’m not the best cook,” Selena confesses in the clip, “but I’m not going to stop trying to get better. So I’m back in my kitchen to get schooled by the best chefs.”
      In the teaser, one cooking session goes awry when flames leap from a wok and set off the star’s smoke detector, but the finished results of her efforts look scrumptious as she tackles tapas, Asian bananas foster, and mole chicken with the help of her virtual chefs.

        See also…

      Other professional chefs to be featured are Aarti Sequeira, Curtis Stone, Evan Funke, Graham Elliot, JJ Johnson, Jordan Andino, Jose Andres, Kelis Rogers, Marcela Valladolid and Marcus Samuelsson.

      The first season of “Selena + Chef” launched last summer (20), and the pop star and Sequeira prepared her Thanksgiving holiday special, “Selena + Aarti: Friendsgiving”, in November, when the Indian chef helped Gomez cook a turkey for the first time.
      Gomez will continue to donate thousands to a food-related charity of the professional chef’s choosing at the end of each episode.
      The second season of the hit streaming show will be available from 21 January (21).
