      Helena Bonham Carter Reminds Fans 'The Crown' Is 'Dramatized' Amid Backlash Against Prince Charles

      The actress who plays Princess Margaret agrees that the Netflix royal drama series is just a fiction based around some real events amid concerns that it could damage the future king’s reputation.

      Dec 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Helena Bonham Carter is keen for “The Crown” to stress the show is”not a drama-doc” and events have been “dramatized.”
      U.K. Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden hit headlines over the weekend (28-29Nov20) with his revelation that he’s planning to write to Netflix to ask them to put a warning on the show, about Britain’s Royal Family, for viewers to make it clear that it’s dramatised. And now Helena – who formerly starred as Princess Margaret in the programme – has told the New York Post’s Page Six that she agrees that it’s important to make a distinction between “our version” and the “real version.”
      “It is dramatised. I do feel very strongly, because I think we have a moral responsibility to say, ‘Hang on guys, this is not… it’s not a drama-doc, we’re making a drama.’ So they are two different entities,” she said.

      Princess Diana’s brother Earl Spencer is among the other big names to have called for warnings at the start of “The Crown” as season four depicts his late sister’s relationship with her former husband Prince Charles.
      “I think it would help The Crown an enormous amount if, at the beginning of each episode, it stated that, ‘This isn’t true but it is based around some real events,’ ” Spencer told ITV. “I worry people do think that this is gospel and that’s unfair.”
      The depiction of Charles in the programme, played by Josh O’ Connor, has apparently led to concerns that it could permanently damage the reputation of the future king.

      Garcelle Beauvais Details COVID-19 Scare on 'RHOBH' Production

      by

      Instagram

      The cast member of the long-running Bravo reality TV star has opened up in a new interview about days leading up to the filming shut down of season 11 of the reality TV show.

      Dec 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Earlier this month, it was reported that Bravo halted the production of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” season 11 due to COVID-19 concern. Now, cast member Garcelle Beauvais has opened up in a new interview about days leading up to the filming shut down.
      “We shot for Housewives on Tuesday, Tuesday night we got home and found out that a few people in our crew tested positive for COVID,” Garcelle shares in a preview, which is obtained by Entertainment Tonight, for an upcoming episode of “The Real”. Following the announcement, she adds that her castmates all have to quarantine for 14 days. Her 13-year-old twin sons, Jaid and Jax, are temporarily staying with their father Mike Nilon.
      Saying that the cast and crew always “do all the protocols,” Garcelle continues, “We get tested at least three times a week. We get tested before we shoot. You know, my kids get tested, I get tested, anybody who’s in my household, and you know, we did the right things, but at the same time, it just shows you that this virus — you can touch something, you can… you know, it’s not necessarily just from people.”
      The Bravo personality, who is also one of the co-host on “The Real”, adds, “Hopefully everybody will be healthy, and we’re down for a few weeks, but then we’ll be back to work. But luckily for me, we do ‘The Real’ from home, so I can still do this job, which I’m thankful for.”

        See also…

      Garcelle goes on sharing that she has no symptomps and has been taking multiple coronavirus tests which all come back negative.
      Back in November, a source claimed that “the ladies and production were informed this morning” about the filming being halted. The cast members, including Lisa Rinna, Erika Girardi, Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley, reportedly last filmed for the upcoming season on Tuesday, November 24. “They filmed yesterday. Everyone’s been told to quarantine for 14 days and haven’t been told much else right now,” the source explained. “They have no idea when they’ll start up again. Everyone’s just waiting for more info.”
      This arrives after it was rumored that Garcelle decided to leave the reality TV show following a salary dispute. A source close to the production claimed in October that she wasn’t satisfied with her current pay. “Garcelle wanted a big raise to be on the show. She didn’t get one, and so she’s walking,” the insider claimed. “It’s not worth it to her.”
      The source also added that Bravo was planning to get Tori Spelling on the show to replace Garcelle, who joins the show in season 10. The insider, however, noted that the “BH90210” star wouldn’t be a full-time cast member, adding that she’s set to “join the exciting next season in a ‘friend of’ role.”

      'Saved by the Bell' Deletes Controversial Scene About Selena Gomez's Kidney Surgery

      by

      Instagram

      Fans of Selena, who are also known as Selenators, previously put the show on blast over the insensitive scenes on the reboot in addition to trending ‘RESPECT SELENA GOMEZ’ on Twitter.

      Dec 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Saved by the Bell” reboot has made adjustment following backlash over scenes featuring references to Selena Gomez’s kidney transplant. In response to fans outrage, Peacock has now decided to remove the said scenes, PEOPLE confirms.
      One of the scenes on the reboot saw two students at Bayside High arguing over whether the singer transplant donor was her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber’s mom or singer Demi Lovato. Meanwhile, another scene featured someone writing on the walls in the school’s hallway, “Does Selena Gomez even have a kidney?”
      Fans of Selena, who are also known as Selenators, put the show on blast on Saturday, November 28 in addition to trending “RESPECT SELENA GOMEZ” on Twitter, demanding an apology from the show and network. “You have no professional ethics. You should be ashamed to air a show where a person is mocked for their serious illness,” one of them wrote. “It is not only offensive to Selena Gomez, but to all those who have had to go through a process as difficult as that.”

      Following the backlash, Peacock, NBCUniversal and the show’s executive producers released a joint statement in which they expressed remorse over the insensitive scenes. “We apologize. It was never our intention to make light of Selena’s health. We have been in touch with her team and will be making a donation to her charity, The Selena Gomez Fund for Lupus Research at USC,” the statement read.
      Francia Raisa, Selena’s close friend as well as her kidney donor, reacted to the apology. Writing on Twitter on Saturday, the “Grown-ish” star wrote, “Appreciate the apology but let’s not forget about the donors that potentially felt offended and dismissed from the spray paint written on the wall.”
      “As a kidney donor I want to show love and let other donors know that you are not alone. You are seen. You are appreciated. You are so brave and your selfless act is very much appreciated and valued!” she went on saying.
      Selena underwent a kidney transplant due to her lupus diagnosis back in 2017. “My kidneys were just done,” she explained at the time. “That was it, and I didn’t want to ask a single person in my life. The thought of asking someone to do that was really difficult for me. She volunteered and did it. And let alone someone wanting to volunteer, it is incredibly difficult to find a match. The fact that she was a match, I mean that’s unbelievable. That’s not real.”

      Andy Samberg Insists 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' Will Be Honest About Police Brutality

      by

      NBC

      When speaking about the new season of the NBC series, the Jake Peralta depicter stresses that their job is ‘pointing out that stuff isn’t getting done right and spreading the word.’

      Dec 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Andy Samberg insists the new season of NBC’s “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”, “won’t shy away” from tackling “serious problems” like police brutality.
      Earlier this year, producers made the decision to scrap the first episodes they had planned to film for the latest instalment of the show because of ongoing police brutality and systematic racism, which sparked the Black Lives Matter movement in the U.S. and beyond.
      Speaking to Variety, Samberg, who portrays Detective Jacob ‘Jake’ Sherlock Peralta and also serves as a producer on the show, insisted the new series would be “honest about what is going on in the world.”
      “The challenge is going to be being honest about what is going on in the world and not shying away from the fact that there are serious problems and also not punishing viewers who like our show and care about our characters,” he said.

        See also…

      Samberg added he believes “our characters need to examine their roles in the world. They’re going to be forced to look in the mirror and see who they’re complicit with.”

      “We’ve certainly never acted as if all police are innocent outside of our squad. In fact, I think we have a ton of episodes that are specifically about how there’s a lot of corruption and breaking protocol,” the “Saturday Night Live” alum explained.
      “I think it’s important for us and for anyone watching our show to keep in mind if we’re looking for a half-hour comedy show to be the ones to solve this problem, we’re in trouble.”
      “Our job is pointing out that stuff isn’t getting done right and spreading the word that we’re (really) hopeful that it can get better,” concluded the star.

      'The Stand' Director Unveils Why Marilyn Manson's The Kid Met Chopping Block

      by

      Instagram

      Director Josh Boone additionally reveals that the Stephen King forthcoming miniseries had to pass on a killer cover of The Doors’ song ‘The End’ by the rocker and Shooter Jennings.

      Dec 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Marilyn Manson will no longer appear on Stephen King’s forthcoming miniseries “The Stand”.
      It was previously revealed that the rocker would appear on the forthcoming TV adaptation of King’s post-apocalyptic novel but, ahead of the show’s premiere on 17 December, director Josh Boone has confirmed that Manson’s role as The Kid has been cut.
      “Just to clarify, Marilyn Manson and I had long-discussed him taking on the role of The Kid in ‘The Stand’,” he tells Entertainment Weekly. “He and the great Shooter Jennings even recorded a killer cover of The Doors’ song ‘The End’ that ultimately proved too expensive to use.”
      “The show was made on a very tight budget and some of the dreams we had went to the wayside. The Kid was another casualty.”

        See also…

      He adds, “When Manson wasn’t able to make it work schedule-wise, the storyline was ultimately excised and never shot, which is for the best, as no one could have slayed that role like Manson would have. Hope to work with him in the future.”
      “The Stand” was published in 1978 and is set in an “apocalyptic vision of a world decimated by plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil,” according to a synopsis.
      “The fate of mankind rests on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abagail and a handful of survivors. Their worst nightmares are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the Dark Man.”
      James Marsden, Amber Heard, Greg Kinnear, Whoopi Goldberg and Ezra Miller also star on the CBS All Access series.
