When explaining why she finally agreed to strip for ‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan’, the former ‘90210’ star reveals the story behind her previous reluctance in doing topless and nude scenes.

Nov 12, 2020
AceShowbiz – Actress AnnaLynne McCord is baring all for the first time in her new project to celebrate the hardships she has faced in recent years.
The former “90210” star has always refused topless and nude scenes in TV dramas and movies, insisting that many of them seemed unnecessary, but now she’s stripping for “Power Book III: Raising Kanan”, currently in production in New York City.
“I never wanted to do nudity because I felt like women sometimes are made to feel they have to,” AnnaLynne tells the “Watch With Us” podcast. “I was told when I was 14 years old by this model guru guy…, ‘You’ll never make it in Hollywood or in modelling if you’re not going to do nude!’ I was like, ‘Oh, really? I think I’m gonna prove you wrong.’ ”

“This is the first time I’m doing it. I’m taking the top off. For me, it’s about a statement. I’ve never done it in my career, and I wanted to (after) a lot of things that have happened to me in my life. I’ve spoken a lot for women and issues of sexual abuse and sexual assault. I was like, ‘You know what? I’m ready to do it, because I want it to be about taking my sexuality back, taking my power back in that way.’ ”
In 2014, McCord revealed she was sexually assaulted in her teens and began speaking to students and young women who had shared her experience.
“The entire trajectory of my life has altered,” she adds. “That little 18-year-old arrogant, teeny-bopper who came into the world of Hollywood with all of her crazy energy and her rigid ideologies is a very different 33-year-old woman. Why I do what I do is what has really changed.”
“I love acting. I love that I get to do what my nine-year-old self dreamed of doing when she was little. I got to make her dream come true. And that makes me so very happy. But for me, now, if I’m not making a statement in some capacity, I’m not interested.”

Claiming to have been granted the rights to the late Tejano icon’s life story and music, producer Moctesuma Esparza alleges that Abraham Quintanilla approached him about possible series in 1998.

Nov 12, 2020
AceShowbiz – The father and sister of late Latin superstar Selena Quintanilla are facing legal action from a disgruntled producer over their new Netflix drama series.
“The Walking Dead” star Christian Serratos portrays the beloved musician on “Selena: The Series”, which chronicles her childhood and rise to fame, before her career was cut short by a deranged fan who shot and killed her on 31 March, 1995 – days before her 24th birthday.
The upcoming show is executive produced by the tragic singer’s dad Abraham Quintanilla and sister Suzette, but producer Moctesuma Esparza claims he was granted the rights to the Tejano icon’s life story and music back in 1995 – and they breached that contract with the Netflix series.
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Esparza’s deal covered movie rights and any other remakes, after the success of “Selena”, the 1997 big screen biopic starring Jennifer Lopez, which he helped produce.

Esparza alleges Abraham approached him in 1998 about the possibility of making a TV series or another film based on Selena’s life and career, but nothing came of the discussions.
He also claims to have spoken to Suzette about a young Selena project, but again, nothing came to fruition – until he learned Abraham had signed over the rights to Netflix bosses in 2018.
Now he is taking the Quintanillas and officials at the streaming service to court, and is demanding at least $1 million (£757,000) in damages.
Representatives for the defendants have yet to comment on the news.
“Selena: The Series” is set to premiere on 4 December.

When speaking about the new series about a high-school teacher having an affair with her student, the Claire Wilson depicter explains why it is important to explore the difficult subject matter.

Nov 12, 2020
AceShowbiz – Kate Mara hopes her new show “A Teacher” makes viewers “uncomfortable.”
The new FX on Hulu series sees the 37-year-old actress play Claire Wilson, a married English teacher who grooms and manipulates one of her high school students.
“Love, Simon” actor Nick Robinson, 25, stars opposite Mara as the teen victim, Eric Walker, and she tells The Wrap the programme was designed to explore the difficult subject matter from a new angle.
“Some people are definitely going to feel uncomfortable watching the show. It wasn’t something that we made thinking that it would be a super-easy watch,” she says. “Comfortable is not the word we were going for.”

“I don’t think you normally see the story told from this perspective or this point of view. It was one of the reasons why I was excited to tell it,” adds Mara. “I think it’s because it isn’t something that people necessarily want to talk about. The fact that it’s a female doing the abuse and being the groomer and all of these things I think is also something that is rarely discussed.”
She goes on to insist it’s “important” the show explores the taboo narrative from the viewpoint of the teacher and student, to highlight the “silly” stereotype of it being “cool” for a boy to have that illegal relationship with a teacher.
“I think it is a unique thing to explore it, and it was something that we wanted to be very clear about from the beginning, that we were not saying that it was right, that we were always saying this was wrong,” muses the “House of Cards” actress.
“It’s not a story that we were looking to tell to make people feel cozy,” she notes of “A Teacher”, which is adapted from Hannah Fidell’s 2013 film of the same name. “It’s an important story to tell in order to begin the conversation about how common this type of sexual assault has become. So that was more of the goal.”

News about the picking up of the Netflix series for another season has been unveiled in a fun, mock press release from the titular character’s fictional boss Sylvie Grateau.

Nov 12, 2020
AceShowbiz – Hit Netflix show “Emily in Paris” has been picked up for a sequel season, despite critics slamming the series.
The romantic comedy, which stars Lily Collins as a young American marketing executive working in the city of lights, has received negative attention for promoting U.S. stereotypes about the French.
Despite the backlash, fans have flocked to watch the show since it debuted in October, and the renewal news was unveiled in a fun, mock press release from Emily’s fictional boss, Sylvie Grateau – played by Philippine Leroy Beaulieu.
“Despite her overconfident manner and lack of prior experience in luxury goods marketing, she has nonetheless managed to charm some of our hard-to-impress clients during her short time at Savoir,” reads the note. “Call it Bonne chance, or American ingenuity – I’m leaning towards the former – her results are impressive. We love having Emily in Paris! But please don’t let her know that.”

Created by “Sex and the City” writer Darren Star, the show also stars Lucas Bravo, Samuel Arnold, Camille Razat and Kate Walsh.
Meanwhile, Star recently addressed the backlash linked to his new Netflix show, stating, “The first thing she (Emily) is seeing is the cliches, because it’s from her point of view (sic). I wanted to do a show that celebrated that part of Paris… I wanted to showcase Paris in a really wonderful way that would encourage people to fall in love with the city in a way that I have.”
Star has also revealed he already has ideas about what his new heroine will do next, telling Oprah magazine, “She’ll be more of a resident of the city (in season two). She’ll have her feet on the ground a little more.”
Collins previously told Vanity Fair she “would love nothing more than to be able to go back to Paris” to shoot a second season of the show.

Larsa, who used to be friend with the SKIMS founder for years, speaks out against the KarJenners during her appearance on ‘Hollywood Raw’ podcast where she also claims to be having a fling with Tristan Thompson before he was with Khloe Kardashian.

Nov 11, 2020
AceShowbiz – Larsa Pippen made headlines with her bombshell claims during an interview, in which she claimed that Kim Kardashian’s husband Kanye West “brainwashed” the famous clan to go against her. In response to the damning interview, it was said that Kim and her family felt nothing but betrayed by Larsa, who used to be the family’s best friend.
“The KarJenners are known for having each other’s backs when it comes to their tight-knit group of friends and family,” a source close to the family shared to HollywoodLife.com. “They don’t speak out about their personal lives unless it’s something that’s discussed among those involved, and like any family, they don’t publicly air dirty laundry.”
The insider went on to say, “So they feel betrayed that Larsa would not only do this interview and talk about their family behind their backs, but also say things that are hurtful and unnecessary.”

Another source claimed to E! News, “They all think Larsa is toxic energy,” though Kim “has a soft spot for Larsa” because “they have been through a lot together.” However, the family members “think she’s trying to stay relevant and Kim doesn’t appreciate the accusations regarding Kanye. The family is very protective over one another and all feel like she violated their privacy by dishing out details to the public.”
Larsa, who used to be friend with the SKIMS founder for years, spoke out against the KarJenners during her appearance on “Hollywood Raw” podcast. “I just feel like Kanye was in a place where he really didn’t trust anyone with Kim, so I feel like I was the person that was like, ‘Oh, don’t be so close to her…,’ that kinda had something to do with it,” Larsa shared. “I don’t want to be the trouble in your relationship. If your husband feels threatened by my relationship with you, then I don’t want to be that person. I got my own s**t.”
During the interview, the ex-wife of basketball legend Scottie Pippen also claimed that she used to date Tristan Thompson before the Cleveland Cavaliers player was with Khloe Kardashian, with whom he shares a daughter together. She went on to say that she previously tried to hit on rapper Travis Scott (II), who shares a daughter with Kylie Jenner.
Fans noticed that there was a rift between Larsa and the famous family after they unfollowed each other on Instagram around July 22. It was at the same time when Kanye made headlines due to his public meltdown in which he threatened to divorce his reality TV show star wife.

I mean, we fought a lot, like, if you know us, you know that I am super outgoing and Ryan is total opposite,” she first admitted. “He hates the cameras even though he was on the freaking reality show, that’s crazy…So because he was stressed, I was stressed.”
Trista went on to acknowledge that it was “a little awkward” to have her runner up Charlie Maher serving as the wedding host. “They came to us and they said to us, ‘Do you want us to be in your face all day long all day?’ And we were like, ‘No, of course not,’ ” she recounted. “They were like, ‘If you don’t want us around all day long, then you’re going to have to have Charlie be the commentator or the correspondent.’ ”

“It had, like, their characters, the story lines for every person,” the TV personality went on explaining. “They had all of our friends who were invited to the bachelor/bachelorette parties, and they had all their bios and probably some stuff that they interviewed about. I think they had titles like … ‘the villain’ or ‘the sweetheart.’ ”
