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

      by

      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. When a supernatural event shakes her hometown to the core, Naomi sets out to uncover its origins, and what she discovers will challenge everything we believe about our heroes.

      Celebrating the news on Twitter, the “A Wrinkle in Time” director wrote, “Thanks @DCComics for believing in the vision. Barda (lead character in New Gods). Zee Hernandez (in DMZ). Now, Naomi. The third DC project for @ARRAYNow (DuVernay’s creative company).”

      Ava DuVernay thanked DC Comics for believing in the TV adaptation of Naomi.
      “Working hard to bring these ladies to the screen. Thanks to @BrianMBendis @DavidWalker1201 + my writing partner Jill Blankenship for joining me on NAOMI. Love her.”
      The cast of “Naomi” is yet to be announced. The project marks the latest DC adaptation at the youth-skewing network this development season.

      '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”.

      Netflix Will Not Add Fiction Disclaimer to 'The Crown'

      by

      Netflix/Des Willie

      The decision is made public in a statement in response to Culture secretary Oliver Dowden’s request for the streaming giant to add a disclaimer that the series is a work of fiction.

      Dec 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Amid controversy surrounding “The Crown” as many people in the U.K. slam the fourth season of the show over its depiction of the royal family, Netflix has revealed that it will not add fiction disclaimer to the series. The decision was made public in a statement to Deadline in response to Culture secretary Oliver Dowden’s request to add one.
      “We have always presented ‘The Crown’ as a drama — and we have every confidence our members understand it’s a work of fiction that’s broadly based on historical events,” the streamer said in a statement to Deadline. “As a result we have no plans — and see no need — to add a disclaimer.”

        See also…

      Last week, Dowden urged the streaming giant to give a separate note to make it clear to the viewers that the show is nothing but work of fiction. He dished to The Mail on Sunday, “It’s a beautifully produced work of fiction, so as with other TV productions, Netflix should be very clear at the beginning it is just that. Without this, I fear a generation of viewers who did not live through these events may mistake fiction for fact.”
      Among those who criticize the new season of TV series was Earl Spencer, brother of late lady Diana. “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,’ ” he told ITV. “I worry people do think that this is gospel and that’s unfair.”
      Cast member Helena Bonham Carter, who takes the role of Princess Margaret, agreed that it’s important to make a distinction between “our version” and the “real version.” She said, “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.”
