    The ‘Hot in Herre’ rapper speaks in favor of the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ judge after she received backlash for her harsh criticism of Kaitlyn Bristowe and her partner Artem Chigvintsev.

    Nov 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Nelly has come to Carrie Ann Inaba’s defense amid bullying claims. The “Hot in Herre” rapper stood up for “Dancing with the Stars” judge after she landed in hot water because of the harsh criticism she directed at Kaitlyn Bristowe and her partner Artem Chigvintsev.
    The 46-year-old expressed his support for the judge when speaking to TooFab during a night out in Los Angeles. “She’s just doing her job. Carrie Ann’s sweet. Yo, she’s so dope. Carrie Ann is an ex Fly Girl. You can never be mad at an ex Fly Girl. You know what I’m saying? Nah, they gotta leave my girl alone,” he weighed in on the controversy.
    “I just want to win at the end of the day so I know it’s a competition, but it’s never nothing personal. She’s so sweet. All of the judges is dope,” the MC continued. “I mean you know it’s a competition, so you upset about what you thinking, but it’s not personal. Carrie Ann is dope. All of them is dope. You know what I mean? Nah it’s cool, she’s sweet.”

    Before Nelly jumped to her defense, Carrie was accused of being too tough on “The Bachelorette” alum Kaitlyn and her dancing partner. Many speculated that her harshness came from the fact that she and Artem dated for almost three years in the past. The 52-year-old and the Russian dancer called it quits in 2009.
    Carrie herself has responded to the backlash. In an interview after the Monday, November 9 episode of the dancing competition show, she told the press, “I think it’s hysterical. You know what I love though? This is what I love about ‘The Bachelor’ fans and ‘Bachelorette’ fans. They can create a story around it!”
    “It’s weird because I totally understood what they were doing,” the TV personality further shared. “They’re like, there’s jealousy there and there’s this and that because that’s what the ‘Bachelor’ and ‘Bachelorette’ is all about, right? It’s about creating stories about everybody.”
    Carrie then stressed that she had nothing but love for her ex-boyfriend post-split. “Look, I love Artem, I respect him, I love him and Nikki Bella together. I love that they just had their little baby Matteo. We’ve had Nikki on ‘The Talk’, I’m a huge fan. There’s nothing but love and I thought it was hysterical. So none of it bothers me,” she stressed.
    Emphasizing that she is against “bullying,” the dancer and choreographer further warned, “I will not stand for bullying of me or anyone. I will not. We’ve had enough of it in our country. I’m sick of it. I’m never gonna stand for that, I’m never gonna support it. But I am OK with passion and I am OK with discussion.”

    'The Voice' Recap: Battle Rounds Continue as One Singer Is Sent to Knockout

    NBC

    Kicking off the new episode are Desz and Joseph Soul from Team Kelly Clarkson who show off their skills while singing Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes’ ‘If You Don’t Know Me by Now’.

    Nov 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The second night of Battles Round aired on Tuesday, November 10. Kicking off the night were Desz and Joseph Soul from Team Kelly Clarkson who showed off their skills while singing Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes’ “If You Don’t Know Me by Now”. They were both great soulful singers so it was a hard decision for Kelly to let go one of them.
    Eventually, Kelly picked Desz as Joseph got pitchy in some places probably because he was nervous. However, his journey didn’t stop there as coach Gwen Stefani decided to steal him for her own team.

    The next battle was from Team Blake Shelton. Jim Ranger and John Sullivan hit the stage to belt out Kane Brown’s “Good as You”. Blake said, “First of all, gats off to both of you guys. They rehearsed this song and performed it in front of Kane Brown,” before saying to fellow coach John Legend, “who has you to thank for launching that hit song off your popular podcast or whatever it is, ‘Trailer Talk’.” He praised John for being a good story-teller, while calling Jim a naturally talented and “big vocalist.” Jim won the battle and no one stole John.

    John Holiday and Julia Cooper from Team John then performed a duet of Stevie Wonder’s “Summer Soft”. John was impressed by Julia’s “cool” tone, her vibrato and her special approach to the song. As for John Holiday, John said, “Everybody’s struggling to find someone to compare you to, but there’s just no one that they can compare you to. The world needed to hear your voice.” John Holiday was declared as the winner as John sent Julia to the four-way Knockout.

    Later, viewers were offered montage of two other battles. Skylar Alyvia Mayton and Tanner Gomes from Team Kelly sang “Whiskey Lullaby” before Kelly chose to send Tanner to the next round. Meanwhile, Chloe Hogan from Team Gwen won over Lain Roy after they took the stage to sing “Adore You”.

    However, the excitement quickly shifted when a limo pulled up with more men inside the car.

    Spencer moved fast as he took Tayshia’s hand to speak to her privately, much to Brendan’s annoyance. Later when the time of first impression rose arrived, Tayshia brought Spencer to a quiet place to present him with the rose. She told him that she wanted to keep him around and get to know him better. They then kissed.
    When they came back to the room with the other men, host Chris Harrison revealed that it was time for Tayshia to choose who were eliminated that night. However, Tayshia told the men that she decided to cancel the rose ceremony and let them continue their journeys. The men loved it and they had a great night together.
    Later in the episode, Clare and her new fiancee Dale Moss joined Chris on a stage as they discussed their whirlwind engagement. During the show, Chris addressed Bachelor Nation’s questions including whether or not they contacted each other before coming to “The Bachelorette”. They said no with Clare saying that it hurt her to see people questioning their love. When asked about their next plan, Clare said that they were just excited to start their life together.
    Back to Tayshia, she had a pool group date with Blake, Riley, Zac, Jordan, Noah, Peter, Kenny, Jay, Eazy and Spencer. Chris broke the men up into two teams with the winning team getting to spend some time with Tayshia. Spencer was too excited to the point he injured himself. Eventually, blue team won.

    CBS Promises Diversity on 'Survivor', 'Big Brother' and Other Reality Shows

    CBS

    Before the network pledges diversity in future cast members, some ‘Survivor’ alums spoke out against the show, with Sean Rector and Jolanda Jones being two of the most vocal critics.

    Nov 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – CBS is planning to make changes. Following criticism from past contestants of the network’s shows like “Survivor”, “Big Brother” and “Love Island”, the network pledged on Monday, November 9 that all future casts will contain at least 50 percent black, indigenous and people of color.
    “The reality TV genre is an area that’s especially underrepresented, and needs to be more inclusive across development, casting, production and all phases of storytelling,” George Cheeks, president and chief executive officer for the CBS Entertainment Group, declared. “As we strive to improve all of these creative aspects, the commitments announced today are important first steps in sourcing new voices to create content and further expanding the diversity in our unscripted programming, as well as on our network.”
    Prior to this, some “Survivor” alums spoke out against the show, criticizing the cast which was dominated with white contestants. Among the critics were Sean Rector, who participated on “Survivor: Marquesas”, and Jolanda Jones, who appeared on “Survivor: Palau”. They formed a group called The Black Survivor Alliance in order to bring “light to our collective experience with implicit bias and racism on and off the show.”

    “If you don’t think racism and implicit bias exists, tell me why [‘Survivor: Marquesas’ winner Vecepia Robinson] has been completely ignored and has NEVER received an inquiry call or invite to even play in a season with all previous winners?” Rector said.
    “(Please miss me with the ‘she was boring or not great TV’ BS). Subsequently, ten seasons later, Earl Cole, a black man, finally won and like my sis Vecepia and Marquesas, was largely ignored by showrunners … Television, specifically the ‘Survivor’ franchise, has a responsibility and the power to represent a more just and equitable playing field as a benchmark of real progress for ALL people, and not some concession of perceived power or standing that had to be compromised by one group to another,” he went on to say.
    Julia Carter from “Survivor: Edge of Extinction” and J’Tia Taylor from “Survivor: Cagayan” also slammed the show for the lack of diversity during their appearance on “Quarantine Questionnaire”.
