      Johnny Depp's Fans Slam Hulu's 'Animaniacs' Revival Over Liar Joke

      by

      An episode of the animated show sees the characters making fun of the situation between Johnny Depp and ex Amber Heard who accuse each others of domestic violence with a fake movie poster.

      Nov 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – A new episode of “Animaniacs” revival didn’t sit well with Johnny Depp’s fans. The revival of the most beloved ’90s animated series received huge backlash after it featured Johnny Depp joke in relation to his lengthy court case with ex Amber Heard.
      The episode saw the characters making fun of the situation between the exes who accused each others of domestic violence. Viewers could see a movie poster featuring the “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” star holding a pair of scissors, which was seemingly an “Edward Scissorhands” reference. Serving as an apparent jab at the actor, the title of the fake movie was “Johnny 2: Telling Lies”.
      Fans quickly slammed the show and Warner Bros., accusing them of portraying the actor in a bad light. “Warner Brothers: this is a sick thing to do to an abuse survivor. Listen to the tapes – Johnny Depp has been put through psychological torture and physical abuse. I’m sorry that I don’t find this funny, but it’s no laughing matter,” one fan said on Twitter.

      “As much as I liked the new Animaniacs, I can not in good conscience bring myself to support this show or Warner Brothers. It is absolutely sickening to see them use a cartoon to make fun of an Abuse victim while wholeheartedly defending the culprit,” one other tweeted, adding the hashtag #BoycottWarnerBrothers. “WTF! This is absolutely disgusting… Way to go a ruin the new Animaniac’s show for me… #BoycottWarnerBrothers,” another fan similarly commented.
      However, some others tried to defend the show, noting that the joke wasn’t about Johnny’s legal issues at all. Instead, it was about the children’s nursery rhyme-turned-meme by the name of “Johny, Johny Yes Papa” which was popular back in 2018 when the episode was written. “…It’s a reference to the ‘Johny Johny Yes Papa’ meme. The joke was written in 2018. Very unfortunate timing, but joke was not about the abuse allegations,” explained one user.
      That, however, didn’t make fans stop blasting the show and Warner Bros. “#BoycottWarnerBrothers Some defend this because the reboot was written in 2018 and was capitalising on the Johnny Johnny Yes Papa meme, but considering Depp was a polarising topic for the entire year plus new info even if above was true, they should have just edited it out,” another fan reasoned.

      Fans totally approve of the show’s decision to have the game show’s champion as the first guest host as one fan even suggests that Ken will also fit to be the new permanent host of the show.

      Nov 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Sony Pictures Television has announced that “Jeopardy!” will resume production weeks after the passing of host Alex Trebek. It has also been revealed that the popular game show’s champ Ken Jennings will be serving as a guest host for the first few episodes.
      In an Instagram post on Monday, November 23, the show’s executive producer Mike Richards shared a statement which read, “Alex believed in the importance of Jeopardy! and always said that he wanted the show to go on after him.” He continued, “We will honor his legacy by continuing to produce the game he loved.”
      “We will resume production on 11/30 with a series of interim guest hosts from the Jeopardy! family — starting with Ken Jennings,” the show further announced in the caption. “Additional guest hosts to be announced.”

      Following the announcement, Ken took to his Twitter account to share his feelings for the honor. “There will only ever be one Alex Trebek, but I’m honored to be helping Jeopardy! out with this in January,” so he tweeted.

      Ken Jennings reacted to him being chosen as the first guest host of ‘Jeopardy!’.
      Fans totally approved of the show’s decision to have Ken as the first guest host. “I always knew that having you on my podcast 6 years ago would be a career springboard for you. But seriously, Jeopardy is lucky to have you. Trebek would be proud. Congratulations,” a fan wrote to him.
      Someone even suggested that the “Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time” winner and 74-time champion should be a new permanent host, taking over Alex’s hosting duties. “The only problem I have with this news is the term ‘interim’. When Alex passed, you were the only person I thought of who could even attempt to fill his shoes. I hope interim eventually turns to permanent. Good luck!” said the fan.
      Alongside LeVar Burton, Ken was among the names that people mentioned as fit candidates for the show’s new host. Fans even launched a petition for LeVar to be chosen as the new host. In response to that, the “Star Trek: The Next Generation” star wrote on Twitter earlier this month, “Even if nothing comes from it, I can’t tell how much how I appreciate all y’alls love and support!”
      Alex, who had been fronting “Jeopardy!” since 1984, passed away on Sunday, November 8 at the age of 80. A spokesperson for the popular quiz show confirmed the sad news, “Jeopardy! is saddened to share that Alex Trebek passed away peacefully at home early this morning, surrounded by family and friends.”

      Nov 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “The Queen’s Gambit” has shattered records at Netflix by becoming the streaming service’s most-watched scripted limited series to date.
      More than 62 million member accounts logged in to watch Anya Taylor-Joy play an orphaned chess genius battling addiction within the first 28 days of the drama’s release.

      The show, based on Walter Tevis’ 1983 novel, made the top 10 in 92 countries and ranked number one in 63, including the U.K., Argentina, Israel and South Africa.
      Celebrating the show’s record-breaking run on Monday (November 23), Netflix VP of original series Peter Friedlander released a statement, which read, “Three years ago when Scott Frank first approached us about adapting ‘The Queen’s Gambit’… we felt it was a compelling tale. However, I don’t think any of us could have predicted that ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ – and the extraordinary Anya Taylor-Joy – would become the global phenomena they are today, or our biggest limited scripted series ever.”
      Series creator Scott Frank also commented on the viewers’ response to his show, “I am both delighted and dazed by the response.” He added in a statement, “It’s just all way beyond what any of us could have imagined. But speaking for my fellow producers and the entire cast and crew of the show, every one of whom made me look better than I actually am, we are most grateful that so many took the time to watch our show.”
      The highest-ranking Netflix releases include “The Witcher”, which scored 76 million within the first 28 days after it was released last year, and documentary-series “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness”, which generated 64 million views over the same time period earlier this year.

      Report: Tanya Sam Bails on 'RHOA' Filming Following Stripper Threesome Scandal

      by

      Instagram

      While Tanya has yet to officially quit the show, the friend of the reality show is so upset over the situation that she’s ‘not even considering’ to attend the reunion show for season 13.

      Nov 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – It seems like the stripper threesome rumors are too much for Tanya Sam to handle. A new report suggests that Tanya Sam, a new friend in upcoming season 13 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”, has stopped filming mid-season after it was said that she and Porsha Williams hooked up with a stripper at Cynthia Bailey’s bachelor party.
      According to TMZ, Tanya has “officially bailed on filming the rest of the current season.” It is said that the reason of the decision has something to do with the bachelorette party, in which she and Porsha allegedly had sex with the stripper. Tanya didn’t like how the scandal was put as the focus in the new season, which is set to premiere on December 6.
      However, that isn’t the only reason why she stopped filming halfway through. The site claims that Tanya and her rocky relationship with her fiance plays a big role as well. His fiance’s alleged infidelity took center stage in previous season 12, and with how things progress with the stripper incident, it seems like Tanya thinks she’s done with the Bravo reality show.

      Despite that, the insider insists that Tanya has yet to officially quit “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”. However, the site reveals that Tanya is so upset over the situation that she’s “not even considering” to attend the reunion show once they finish filming for the season.
      Recently, Cynthia claimed in an interview that she wasn’t aware of what happened that night. “I cannot confirm or deny anything that happened after Ms. Bailey-Hill went to bed,” she said to E! Daily Pop. “Apparently, some things went down.” When asked if she was bothered if the rumors were really true, Cynthia claimed, “No! These are grown women. They can do whatever they wanna do, with whoever they wanna do [it with]. It’s not my business. If they like it, I love it.”
      Michael Bolwaire, the male stripper at the party, however, denied the rumors. “The rumors and allegations that’s going around right now, straight bulls**t. Although I’m flattered to be in the same conversation as those beautiful women, nothing happened. I don’t need any unnecessary mileage on my d**k. Again, nothing happened. Y’all be cool,” he previously insisted.
