      Matthew Morrison Credits 'The Grinch Musical' Costume for Slimming Him Down

      by

      Instagram

      Talking about his reaction to being offered the lead part for the TV special, the former ‘Glee’ star admits he found it ‘terrifying and thrilling and just liberating all at the same time.’

      Dec 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actor Matthew Morrison completed filming on his new TV special “Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch Musical!” a few pounds lighter after spending so much time dancing around in his furry green costume.
      The former “Glee” star takes on the titular role in the show, which was filmed at the Troubadour Theatre in London, and reveals the hours spent in the hair and makeup department and onstage in his costume and facial prosthetics actually caused him to slim down.
      “I had so much fun getting into that green suit everyday, (but) I actually lost a lot of weight…,” he shared on U.S. breakfast show “Today”. “It was three-and-a-half hours to get into the makeup, an hour to take it off…”
      “(But) I only had to do that about five times in total, ’cause we rehearsed this like a stage musical, like for a month (before shooting).”

      Morrison admits he was initially hesitant to tackle the role Jim Carrey brought to life in 2000 movie “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, but he couldn’t wait to exercise his creativity after spending months at home due to the coronavirus shutdown.
      “(It was) terrifying, honestly,” he said of his reaction to being offered the lead part. “It’s such an iconic character, and… it’s one of those roles where anything goes and you can be as big and as imaginative as possible, but honestly, after not working for eight months, I was so excited and ready for the task, and it was terrifying and thrilling and just liberating all at the same time.”

      “Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch Musical!” will also feature Broadway veteran Denis O’Hare as the titular character’s dog, Max, and “Twilight” actor Booboo Stewart as the younger version of the pooch when it airs in the U.S. on Wednesday night (December 09).

      Carole Baskin Slams 'Tiger King' Producers for Making Up Joe Exotic Feud

      by

      Facebook/Instagram

      The former ‘Dancing with the Stars’ contestant blames the ‘Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness’ bosses for creating a rivalry between her and the former zookeeper.

      Dec 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Carole Baskin has “never” spoken to Joe Exotic.
      The 59-year-old star agreed to take part in Netflix documentary “Tiger King” because she believed it would be an expose of the mistreatment of animals by private owners, but it mainly focused on the relationship between her and her rival, though she insisted the “feud” depicted on the show was created by producers.
      “At the end of it. I just sat there with my (current) husband, looking at each other, like: ‘What was that?’ Such a missed opportunity. Because there was so much they could have shown people about the egregious abuse that these animals suffer,” she told The Observer newspaper.
      “Instead, they just glamorised this yahoo in Oklahoma, and tried to create a feud. I’ve never even spoken to Joe Exotic. I’ve seen him in person I think four times.”

      And Carole admitted her life was a “living hell” for months after the programme aired because she kept receiving death threats.
      “My phone started ringing, and it rang every two minutes for three months straight,” she said. “Every time I answered the phone, it was somebody screaming threats and saying they wanted to kill me, they wanted to kill my family, they wanted to kill the cats. Our lives were just a living hell for the first three months.”
      When she watched the documentary series herself, Carole was just as hooked as the millions of viewers around the world.
      “It was like watching a dumpster fire, you just couldn’t turn away from it,” she continued. “It was just mesmerising that there could be this many crazy people doing so many wretched things to animals.”

      WENN/Avalon

      The new series project for The CW network is based on DC Comics’ teenage girl character who sets out on an adventure when a supernatural event rocks her hometown.

      Dec 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Director Ava DuVernay is taking the story of DC Comics superhero Naomi to TV.
      The “Selma” filmmaker is already set to take charge of the film adaptation of “The New Gods”, as well as a TV drama based on DMZ, and now she’s tackling another DC title – this time as a drama series for America’s The CW network.
      She has teamed up with “Arrow” writer/producer Jill Blankenship to write and executive produce the new project, which is based on the new comic franchise of the same name by David F. Walker and Brian Michael Bendis. DuVernay will be producing through her Array Filmworks in association with Warner Bros Television. Sarah Bremner and Paul Garnes will produce for Array Filmworks.
      “Naomi”, which debuted last year (19), follows a teen girl’s journey from her small northwestern town to the heights of the multiverse.

      'The Voice' Contestant Denies Breaking COVID-19 Rules After Dismissal From Show

      by

      Instagram

      NBC claims to have made the difficult decision to remove Ryan Gallagher from the competition since the network could not determine if his participation would not put others potentially at risk.

      Dec 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – TV bosses have confirmed singer Ryan Gallagher was kicked off U.S. talent show “The Voice” season 11 after breaching coronavirus safety protocols.
      The wannabe exited the series last week (ends December 4), and now NBC executives have detailed the reason for his departure, explaining they “determined that Ryan could not participate in our Monday night show without potentially putting others at risk”.
      “We made the difficult decision to remove Ryan from the competition,” a statement reads.

      However, the star’s representative, Michael Catalano, has denied Ryan broke COVID rules. “In my opinion, nothing could be further from the truth. Ryan understands all too well how serious the COVID-19 pandemic is in this country and around the world. In fact, recently Ryan’s mother in Michigan was hospitalised with COVID-19 and was in ICU (Intensive Care) for three weeks,” Catalano shared in response to the statement.
      “It was a scary time for Ryan and his family and he certainly would not knowingly put anyone at risk by not adhering to the show’s COVID-19 policy. As you can imagine there is more to the story here than the show has announced and at an appropriate time and place of our choosing Ryan will respond to these damaging allegations.”
      “Ryan, whose performing career began at age 15 as a back-up singer for Josh Groban in Michigan, has been devastated by the show’s dismissal. A career as a singer/performer has been his life-long dream.”
      Gallagher was part of Kelly Clarkson’s team of talent on “The Voice”.
