The writer of ‘Bridgerton’ novels wants more raunchy scenes between the mad-love couple, Daphne and the Duke of Hastings, in the next sophomore installment.

Feb 10, 2021
AceShowbiz – The author of “Bridgerton” has called for more sex scenes involving season one stars Daphne and the Duke of Hastings in next instalment of the Netflix hit.
Julia Quinn, who wrote the novels the programme is based on and consults on the period drama, is keen to see more of the sex-mad couple, played by Phoebe Dynevor and Rege-Jean Page in the second season, after their passionate love story captivated viewers in season one.
Despite the second book in Julia’s series focusing on Anthony – played by Jonathan Bailey – the author has insisted Daphne and the Duke must return for more.
When asked if the couple would come back in season two, she told Britain’s The Sun newspaper, “I hope so. They do show up in the book. The series doesn’t follow the book word for word – and I don’t think (it) should. The story of each book plays out in a season, but it’s not the only story.”

“So I hope so, for no other reason than Daphne has the right to interfere with Anthony’s life. To deny her that chance would be criminal. I think it would be lovely to see.”
And whilst Julia hasn’t read the proposed scripts for season two yet, she is confident fans will get to see Anthony “taken down so many pegs.”
“I haven’t seen the scripts yet so I don’t necessarily know what they’re going to do, but I did write the story so I know a little bit about it,” she grinned.
“Anthony is going to get it bad. Jonathan Bailey played him so well; you still love him, but he needs to be taken down a peg, and he is going to be taken down so many pegs. It’s awesome.”
“Bridgerton” is currently Netflix’s most-watched series after 82 million households tuned in following its release in December (20).

During an interview on ‘Live with Kelly and Ryan’, the ‘Roar’ hitmaker explains why she believes the singing competition show gains respect from other leading lights in the entertainment industry.

Feb 9, 2021
AceShowbiz – Katy Perry insists the COVID-19 crisis has a silver lining – it’s given wannabe performers to chase their dreams.
The “American Idol” judge is currently at work on the latest season of the long-running talent show, which premieres on Valentine’s Day (February 14), and admits the latest talent pool, which emerged from a difficult 2020, is sweeter than ever.
“I think we’re all living in this weird, wild, crazy moment where a lot of our dreams have been put on hold,” the new mum explained during an appearance on “Live with Kelly & Ryan”, “and I think a lot of the contestants said to themselves, when they clicked a Zoom link to audition…, ‘I have nothing to lose’.”
“Because nothing is promised. We don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow so (they think), ‘I’m just going to go and swing for my dreams’.”

“So that means the floodgates were open… Nobody was busy. They were just ready to take a hold of their dreams,” the “Dark Horse” singer added.

And she’s thrilled, too, that American Idol is really commanding respect from other leading lights in the entertainment industry.
“It (show) just keeps getting better and better,” she smiled. “I think people (in the business) trust us, and artists especially and real musicians especially, not just great singers but people with the whole package.”
“And that really is what defines an American Idol – because it’s not called American Singer. You’ve got to check so many different boxes and that’s what these kids are coming out and doing…”.

The 16-year-old, who has been making headlines for her drama with her politician mom, also takes to her TikTok account to share a video of her addressing her ‘American Idol’ appearance.

Feb 9, 2021
AceShowbiz – People will get more of Claudia Conway this month. The daughter of Kellyanne Conway, former senior counselor to Donald Trump, is set to appear in new season 19 of “American Idol” that will premiere on Sunday, February 14.
In a clip that was released on Monday, February 8, the 16-year-old is seen taking the stage while admitting that she’s both “very nervous” and “very excited.” Introducing herself, she says, “I’m Claudia Conway. My parents are high-profile political figures.”
Meanwhile, judge Katy Perry is telling her, “We want an American idol.” It remains to be seen whether she says that in a good or bad situation.

Claudia also took to her TikTok account to share a video of her addressing her “American Idol” appearance. “I know that half the world sees me as a joke because of my parents and whatever bulls**t. I’m just a 16-year-old with passions, and you know, trying to figure out the future,” she told her 1.7M followers on the video-sharing platform.
“This is a really good opportunity. A really f***ing cool opportunity that I went with immediately, because if ‘American Idol’ reaches out to you, you don’t say no,” she said.
Claudia, who has been trolling her mom over her support for Trump, made headlines earlier this year after she suggested that she was being verbally abused by her mother Kellyanne. She also accused the politician of leaking her topless pic on Internet. She said that her mother must have gotten the snap from her personal phone when she confiscated her phone months ago. However, she assumed that Kellyanne could have accidentally posted it or someone hacked her phone.
The long-running drama between the mom-daughter duo also involved police at one point as Kellyanne was reportedly getting a police visit over abuse claims. In a January video, Claudia filmed her mom who told police about her, “She’s upset, she’s been upset for a week because we had a tough call with her school, I knew she had been upset.” Captioning the clip, Claudia wrote over the video, “guys she’s telling the police she is unsafe because she is getting threats. The facts!”

We’re all stuck at home at the moment, so here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now.The Brady BunchLate-night hosts weighed in Monday night on Super Bowl LV, noting how the big game was palpably different this year because of the coronavirus pandemic. Jimmy Kimmel referred to it as “the weirdest Super Bowl” ever.“This was the first Super Bowl ever where I had to yell, ‘Be quiet — I’m trying to hear the poem!’” Kimmel said.“One thing that was not normal, but was beautiful, was the pregame performance from the breakout star of Joe Biden’s inauguration, poet Amanda Gorman, who recited an original poem. It was the most exciting pregame poetry recital since Robert Frost kicked off the action at Super Bowl I.” — STEPHEN COLBERT“Why aren’t we off today? The one thing I was hoping Donald Trump would accomplish is getting us Super Bowl Monday off. He had four years — nothing!” — JIMMY KIMMEL“That’s right, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Kansas City Chiefs in last night’s Super Bowl, and look, I know it’s hard to win back-to-back Super Bowls, but honestly, J. Lo should have gotten the chance to try.” — SETH MEYERS“Yep, today in Boston, fans are happy for Brady but sad that he left the Patriots, which probably explains Sam Adams’s new beer, Sam Adams’s Bittahsweet Teahs.” — JIMMY FALLON“Seriously, the game was such a dud. I watched it from home and I still left early to beat traffic.” — JIMMY FALLON“At a certain point, even Buccaneers fans were like, ‘Just end the game so we can get to Queen Latifah.’” — JIMMY FALLON“And how about Tom Brady winning his seventh Super Bowl ring? At this rate, he’s gonna be the first player with a Super Bowl toe ring, people.” — TREVOR NOAH“I don’t know if they mentioned this, but Tom Brady won his seventh ring at a time when there are a lot of people in this country who don’t even have one Super Bowl ring.” — JIMMY KIMMEL“I mean, at this point Tom Brady has led the kind of life that 8-year-olds narrate to themselves in their backyard: ‘The crowd goes wild! Tommy wins his seventh Super Bowl! And now he’s rich and he’s married to a supermodel! And now he’s riding a dinosaur — rawr!’” — TREVOR NOAH“Yeah, Brady has cemented his place on the sports Mount Rushmore, alongside Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali and that fan who took a home run ball to the chest to save his beers.” — JIMMY FALLONThe Punchiest Punchlines (Tampa Fans Edition)“What a weekend for the people of Tampa. Forty-eight hours of nonstop drinking and partying in the streets — and then the Super Bowl.” — JIMMY FALLON“Tampa Bay fans were not taking precautions. Last night, they had a huge, mostly maskless celebration while I was eating nachos through my N95.” — JIMMY KIMMEL“While the teams did their best to make the game itself safe-ish, the after-party on the streets of Tampa was a different story. Because following the Bucs’ blowout victory, hordes of maskless fans partied hearty, in a foolhardy display that can only be described as ‘Florida.’” — STEPHEN COLBERT“Yeah, they partied hard in Tampa. One girl was so drunk, she made out with the Vince Lombardi hologram.” — JIMMY FALLON“You know, health officials are frustrated because they’ve spent the whole last year trying to educate people about the importance of masks and social distance.

Aside from sharing his thought on turning down the part of Dr. Derek Shepherd, the ‘Parks and Recreation’ actor gets candid about his 30-year battle with sobriety.

Feb 9, 2021
AceShowbiz – Rob Lowe is glad he passed on a leading “Grey’s Anatomy” role, because fans would never have called him ‘McDreamy’.
The actor turned down the part of Dr. Derek Shepherd and tells Variety Patrick Dempsey was always destined to play the medic.
“This is what longevity, experience and recovery give you,” the former drug abuser tells the outlet. “There are no accidents. Whatever decision you come to, if you come to it from the right place, it’s never wrong.”
“Me in that part isn’t as interesting as Patrick in that part. If it’d been me they (fans) wouldn’t have called me ‘McDreamy’; they would have called me Rob Lowe. Had I done Grey’s, I wouldn’t have been in Parks and Recreation. That alone for me is enough.”

In the interview, Lowe also got candid about his 30 year battle with sobriety, revealing cocaine was everywhere in Hollywood when he became a badly-behaved Brat Pack star.
“It was no different than craft services,” he explains. “Where are the Red Vines, and where is the great Peruvian blow…? Cocaine was the thing that successful people did. There was always that wonderful moment when, as an active drug abuser, you’d go on the set and figure out which department was selling the coke.”
He also opened up about kicking his habit, adding, “Nothing can make you get sober except you wanting to do it. The threat of losing a marriage, losing a job, incarceration – you name the threat, it will not be enough to do it. It’s got to be in you.”
“And the only way to stay in recovery is to be honest with yourself on a minute-by-minute basis. No secrets, no double life. And you have to get real.”

AceShowbiz – More details about upcoming season 10 of FX’s “American Horror Story” have found their way out online. Coming from creator Ryan Murphy, fans now know that the new season will see one fan-favorite cast member returning to the anthology series and that is none other than Frances Conroy.
Ryan revealed the exciting news as he responded to an Instagram account that shared a rumor that Frances would be back on “American Horror Story”. Confirming the speculations, the 55-year-old TV hitmaker wrote in the comment section, “I can confirm our beloved Frannie is indeed in this season. Xo.”
However, this is the only thing fans know so far about Frances’ involvement in the new season as details about her character remain to be seen.

In addition to Frances, season 10 will feature newcomer Macaulay Culkin. In an interview back in May 2020, Ryan revealed that he had “always loved” the “Home Alone” star’s work. “I loved everything that he’s done, I love the stuff he did in ‘Home Alone’, I also loved the sort of the older, more recent stuff that he did. And he hasn’t worked in a while,” he explained before hinting at “this very, very great insane part.” He added, “And I asked to speak to him on the phone and he said OK.”
“[When] I cast, I never let people read things, usually. I said, ‘OK, here’s the pitch.’ And I told them the character and I told him he has crazy, erotic sex with Kathy Bates and does other things,” he continued. “And he paused and he goes, ‘This sounds like the role I was born to play.’ So, he signed up right then and there.”
He further gushed over the “Richie Rich” star, “We’re waiting for the crisis to be over because all those scripts are written and I’m excited for him to play that part. I’m excited for him to be in my world because I think…I’m gonna want to do a lot of things with him if he wants to work, because I think he’s fascinating and interesting, and I think he has a soul. There’s both a lightness and a darkness with Macaulay Culkin that I’m attracted to.”
Joining Frances and Macaulay are Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Billie Lourd, Leslie Grossman, Finn Wittrock, Lily Rabe and Adina Porter.

In episode 6 of Matt James’ season 25, the ABC dating competition show continues to show some twists with former ‘Bachelor’ contestant joining the show, much to the ladies’ surprise.

Feb 9, 2021
AceShowbiz – “The Bachelor” returned with an all-new episode on Monday, February 8. In episode 6 of Matt James’ season 25, the show continued to show some twists with former “Bachelor” contestant Heather Martin returning, much to the ladies’ surprise.
Prior to that, viewers saw Matt talking with Jessenia and MJ, who was portrayed as a new villain in the house. After Matt pulled Jessenia aside to talk, she told him that MJ lied to him about the toxicity in the house and she and Victoria were actually the ones causing the situations.
When her turn came, MJ told Matt, “My heart is so big and I am trying to show that to you every second I get with you, and the fact that Jessenia said that I was creating this divide in the house just as I am trying to bring everyone together, I am mentally and emotionally exhausted, and to have my character put into question was like that hurt me the most.”
Matt admitted to being conflicted after hearing those. But he decided that he just couldn’t give the rose to MJ and handed it to Jessenia instead. Later, the rest of the women arrived for the cocktail party, only to find an empty room. Host Chris Harrison announced that Matt decided to skip the cocktail party and go straight to the rose ceremony where he presented the roses to Serena P., Michelle, Pieper, Bri, Chelsea and Katie. The final rose, meanwhile, went to Serena C.
The next day, Pieper got the first date card while Serena C. decided to confront Katie, whom she accused of being calculated and annoying. Meanwhile, Chris Harrison was surprised to see Heather in the gate. She said that former “The Bachelorette” star Hannah Brown, who is also her best friend, told her that Matt was perfect for her, that’s why Heather couldn’t let Matt get engaged without meeting him first.
When Chris told her that they’re in quarantine and had been pretty far into the season, Heather insisted that nothing could stop her. Still, Chris told her to go back to her hotel for now and promised Heather that he would be in touch after speaking to others.

Later, Matt and Pieper enjoyed their one-on-one date in an apparent forest. During dinner, Pieper told Matt that she’s falling in love with him. In response, Matt gave her the rose and told her that he looked forward to spend more time with her. They then headed to a private concert by Temecula Road.
Meanwhile, Bri, Kit, Rachael, Michelle, Jessenia, Serena P., Abigail, Chelsea and Serena C. were named for the next group date. That meant the second one-on-one date went to Katie. In the group date, they were playing bowling as they were put into two teams. The winning team was promised to a romantic evening with Matt, while the rest should return to the house. It was revealed that Michelle, Serena P., Jessenia and Chelsea won.
But when the losing team arrived at the house, Chris stopped by to deliver another date card for Abigail, Serena C, Kit. Bri and Rachael. In the card, Matt shared that he felt “terrible about today, I need time with you please.”
As for Katie, at her one-on-one date with Matt, Katie opened up about not being who she wanted to be in her last relationship. “There’s no changing anybody,” she shared. “I’m very hopeful my love story is your love story, and I’m here till the end if you want me to be.”
However, Matt wasn’t smiling while hearing that. “You’ve been honest with me, and I owe the same honesty to you, and the truth is my relationship with some of the other women in the house has progressed further along than ours has up until this point. And I can’t give you this rose tonight,” he told Katie. “And that’s not a slight at who you are and what our time has been together. I just haven’t had those feelings I need to have of finding a wife in this process.” With that, Katie was eliminated.
At the cocktail party, everyone was surprised by Heather’s sudden appearance. In next week’s episode, viewers will see the drama between Heather and other ladies as she’s seen crying, while Matt teases about falling in another direction.

Creator Holly Sorensen reveals the decision to recast the former ‘Glee’ star’s main role has gotten the blessing of her family, and co-star Ne-Yo reminds that ‘her spirit lives on in our memories.’

Feb 9, 2021
AceShowbiz – Singer-turned-actress Christina Milian has joined the cast of the “Step Up” TV series, taking over the role originated by the late Naya Rivera.
The former “Glee” star had played Collette Jones in the first two seasons of “Step Up: High Water”, which aired on YouTube in 2018 and 2019, but last summer, U.S. network bosses at Starz announced they would be bringing the show back for another run, and now they have recruited Milian to fill the gap left following the tragic drowning death of Rivera in July 2020.

Production on the newly renamed “Step Up”, which is based in a top performing arts school in Atlanta, is already underway in Georgia, with musician and actor Ne-Yo returning as leading man and facility founder Sage Odom.
Commenting on the new job, Milian, who is currently pregnant with her third child, shares in a statement, “I am so excited to join the Step Up family. I know I have massive shoes to fill. Naya was incredible. I hope to honor Naya, her family, friends and fans with a great performance.”

Creator and executive producer Holly Sorensen reveals the decision to recast Rivera’s main role was given the blessing of her family, as well as the entire cast and crew.
“Naya’s death was a terrible loss to our world that we will, frankly, never stop mourning,” explained Sorensen. “It was almost impossible to consider there could be someone so graceful and loving who could both help us honor our loss, while also bringing a deep reservoir of talent to our show, in so many areas. Christina is an exceptional human and a dazzling performer and we are so happy she has joined our family.”
And Ne-Yo added, “There is no replacing Naya. Let’s get that straight. Her spirit lives on in our memories and every part of what this show is and will be.”
“Christina has big shoes to fill and she knows it, which speaks to her poise and respect as a person and an artist. I’m more than certain of her ability to bring an energy and light to this character that Naya’s fans as well as the rest of the world will love. We’ve welcomed Christina with absolute open arms and have rallied around her with love and support. I’m excited and can’t wait for the world to see this!”
The series is inspired by the hit dance movie franchise, which originally starred Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan, who will both serve as co-executive producers of the TV revamp.
