      Instagram

      The Snow Patrol frontman is expected to explore his personal record collection and shares his personal stories in a new radio show dubbed ‘All Things All at Once’.
      Jun 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody will explore his personal record collection for a new six-part series for a BBC radio show.
      The “Gary Lightbody Show: All Things All at Once” will air on BBC Radio Ulster and will include personal stories as the chart-topping “Run” hitmaker reflects on the records that influenced him and explain what each song means to him.
      “I’ve dreamt of having my own radio show since I was a teenager, but no one would give me one,” he shared. “I’m very grateful to BBC Radio Ulster for the opportunity.”
      “I also realise that I’ve been given something that other DJs don’t get – which is free rein to play whatever the heck I want.”
      He continued, “Loving music feels like a life’s pursuit – and I’ve always wanted an opportunity to share my favourite songs on the radio. And you don’t know what you’ve let yourself in for – ‘cos my music taste is all over the place. It’ll be a little mad musical journey through my brain.”
      The “Chasing Cars” star vowed to play music across a broad spectrum of genres, including “rock, metal (don’t be frightened!), funk, soul, hip hop, dance music, folk and country… anything that takes my fancy at any given moment.”
      “If a song comes up you don’t like, stick with me – the next one you’ll love, I promise. Hopefully you’ll enjoy the journey,” he added.
      The “Gary Lightbody Show: All Things All at Once” begins on BBC Radio Ulster and on BBC Sounds on June 14, 2020 at 4 P.M. BST.

      'Vanderpump Rules' Only Black Cast Faith Stowers Recalls Former Co-Stars Calling Cops on Her

      by

      Instagram

      During an Instagram Live chat, the former SUR employee opens up about her experience appearing on the fourth and sixth season of the Bravo’s all-white cast series.
      Jun 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Faith Stowers is sharing her side of the story behind her exit from “Vanderpump Rules” and her move to MTV. Being the only black cast member on the Bravo series, the 31-year-old reality star finally opened up about the incidents leading to former castmates Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute calling a cop on her.
      During an Instagram Live chat with “Floribama Shore” star Candace Rice, the former SUR employee first addressed her hook-up with Jax Taylor, who was at-the-time dating his now-wife Brittany Cartwright. “I felt like after their friend did something that we both were involved in that he’s done like, a thousand times…they wanted to attack me instead of him,” she recalled.
      “It was like they wanted to attack, attack, attack, attack, attack. ‘I was wrong and I was this and I was that,’ calling me names, saying my hair was nappy, which is weird coming out of their mouths,” she said of her former co-stars. “And I believe it hit the ceiling for me, and made me really want to run for the hills, when Kristen and Stassi decided they were going to call the cops on me.”
      The “Ex on the Beach” star went on to note that it had become too much for her to handle. “This is when I quit – like, I left the show,” she explained. “I was invited back to tell my truth, but decided it wasn’t going to do anything for me. So, I ended up not coming back, so I decided to go over to MTV. Once I did that, I felt like they got upset with me.”
      Stowers’ touble, however, did not stop there. She went on to spill that her former castmates later reported her to the police after spotting a news article about a black woman wanted for theft. “There was this article on Daily Mail where there was an African American lady. It was a weird photo, so she looked very light-skinned and had these different, weird tattoos,” she shared.
      “They showcased her, and I guess this woman was robbing people. … The woman was at large. … and they called the cops and said it was me. This is like, a true story,” the TV personality further claimed, adding that she “heard this from actually Stassi during an interview” as referring to Schroeder’s 2018 appearance on the Bitch Bible podcast.
      Per RealityTea, Schroeder claimed she and Doute compared the photo published by Daily Mail with “video footage stills” of Stowers before reporting her to the police. During the interview, she further claimed that when they tried to push the investigation further, the police ignored them.
      On the Schroeder and Doute’s allegations, Stowers commented during the Live chat, “It was just funny, because they thought it was me because it was a black woman with a weave. So, they just assumed it would be me, and they called the cops on me…It didn’t work, so they were upset about that.”
      Elsewhere in the interview, Stowers also shared her thought on her never getting a chance to do any “confessional” interviews. “I didn’t have anything like that,” she admitted. “It could be different on their end, but in my opinion, I thought it was weird that everybody on the show got to do interviews and confessionals and I didn’t even get a chance to do that, to tell my story.”
      “Which was a very interesting story, being a black woman in the military at the time. At the time, I was still in the army…leaving military drill…to come film with y’all…,” she added. “I didn’t feel like they appreciated that.”

      Stowers first appeared as a recurring character in season 4 of “Vanderpump Rules”. She briefly returned to the show as a guest on season 6. Following her candid confession on the Instagram Live, she told E! News that she has received much support.
      “It’s crazy…It’s been overwhelming and it makes me feel like I was actually heard this time,” she admitted, before clarifying, “I just want to say this is not an attack on ‘Vanderpump Rules’. It wasn’t done on the show.”

      Rachel Lindsay Says 'White-Washed' Show 'Bachelor' Needs 'Systemic Change'

      by

      Instagram

      Rachel later notes that ‘The Bachelor’ franchise had only one black lead in 40 seasons, referring to the 15 seasons of ‘The Bachelorette’ and 25 seasons of ‘The Bachelor’.
      Jun 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Rachel Lindsay calls for diversity on “The Bachelor” franchise. Rachel, who starred in season 13 of “The Bachelorette”, revealed that she was upset that “The Bachelor” has yet to have a black male leading “The Bachelor” and deemed the show “white-washed.”
      “It’s been asked of me will I continue in this franchise if it continues in this way. I can’t. I have to see some type of change. It’s ridiculous. It’s embarrassing,” Rachel shared during her experience on AfterBuzz TV’s “Bachelor A.M. With Kelsey Meyer” on Friday, June 5. “At this point, it’s embarrassing to be affiliated with it.”
      Rachel later noted that “The Bachelor” franchise had only one black lead in 40 seasons, referring to the 15 seasons of “The Bachelorette” and 25 seasons of “The Bachelor” though season 25 of the ABC dating show has yet to be cast. “You are almost on par to say you’re more likely to become the president of the United States than you are a black lead in this franchise. That’s insane. That’s ridiculous,” she continued.
      “I’ve always been outspoken in my frustration about the need for diversity. Ever since I’ve been the lead, I’ve always spoken on that. But there’s certain things that I don’t speak out on that have frustrated me on the franchise,” she added.
      Rachel went on to say, “We don’t speak on the things that contestants do that are racist. And it bothers me that certain things have happened that we just say, ‘Oh, hush hush,’ and ‘Let’s just move on past it.’ No! We need to acknowledge it, because what you’re doing is perpetuating this type of behavior, you’re continuing to.”
      Reflecting on George Floyd protests and Black Lives Matter rallies, the TV personality says, “I don’t know how you are a part of ‘The Bachelor’ franchise and you’re watching what’s happening in our country right now and you don’t self reflect that you’ve been part of the problem. You continue to perpetuate this type of behavior when you’re putting out something that is very white-washed and doesn’t have any type of color in it and you’re not trying to be effective and change that. So I think that they have to, at this point, give us a black ‘Bachelor’ for season 25. You have to. I don’t know how you don’t.”

      The Kardashians: Blac Chyna Insults Real Racial Injustice Victims With New Allegations Against NBC

      by

      Instagram

      Two years after suing the ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ stars for interfering with her show, the ‘Rob and Chyna’ alum claims that NBC deprived her of fair treatment because she is black.
      Jun 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The Kardashian clan is not staying quiet over new racism allegations Blac Chyna made against NBCUniversal. Through their lawyer, the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” stars responded to the “Rob & Chyna” alum’s latest claims about the real reason why her show did not get a second season renewal, slamming her for taking advantage of Black Lives Matter movement.
      “This is a 2 year old lawsuit in which Chyna has changed her defense more times than we can count,” attorney Marty Singer said in a statement to the press. “Sadly, unsurprising to anyone, she has stooped to a new low, changing her defense to try to leverage the emotions and pain of the moment, insulting the pain and suffering of real victims of racial injustice and systemic racism.”
      Having called out Chyna for making use of the country’s current turmoil, Singer added in his statement, “We take these allegations very seriously.” He went on to stress, “Once again, there is no Rob & Chyna show if there is no Rob & Chyna.”
      The ex-girlfriend of Rob Kardashian made the new allegations against NBCU, which owns E! where her show was aired, on the heels of Gabrielle Union’s discrimination complaint filing against the network. Her attorney Lynne Ciani told PageSix, “No one at NBCUniversal ever informed Chyna that Kris Jenner had secretly accused her of severely beating Rob.”
      “Next, without Chyna’s knowledge, Kris Jenner and three of her daughters (Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, and Kylie Jenner) were able to convince E! executives that they needed to convene an emergency meeting to discuss the cancellation of season 2 of ‘Rob & Chyna’ based on the false accusation that Chyna had severely beaten Rob,” Ciani continued with the allegations.
      Insisting that Chyna was “never invited to the emergency meeting,” Ciani further suggested that the matter will be handled differently “had Chyna been a white reality TV star, rather than the ‘unicorn’ black reality TV star.” The lawyer added that Jenner’s “false accusation would have been quickly investigated by E! and NBCUniversal and proven false.”
      Chyna initially filed a lawsuit against the entire Kardashian family, including Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner after they accused her of assault, battery, “slut-shaming” on social media. In her complaint filed in 2017, she claimed that the family used their “power and influence” to try to kill her career in television.

      Jun 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Netflix show “Next in Fashion” has been axed after just one series, host Tan France has confirmed.

      “We’re not doing a second a season,” Tan explained. “This is a one-season show, we don’t know what will happen in the future. But it was honestly one of the proudest things I’ve ever worked on. I love the show and Alexa (Chung, co-host) so much.”

      Lea Michele Allegedly Called 'Glee' Background Actors Cockroaches and Burped on Black Extra's Face

      by

      FOX

      Another unfavorable report about the former ‘Glee’ leading lady emerges as one of the background actresses Imia Edwards claims the Rachel Berry depicter used to refer to the extras as roaches.
      Jun 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lea Michele is facing claims she burped in actress Imia Edwards’ face during a scene on the set of U.S. TV show “Glee”.
      The 33-year-old actress found herself at the centre of bullying allegations after her co-star Samantha Ware claimed she made her life a “living hell” when they worked together on the programme. Since then, despite Lea issuing an apology, numerous stars have come forward to reveal more disturbing allegations about the screen star, with Imia the latest to make similar claims about her reported behaviour.
      In an episode of the sixth season of the show, Imia played a dancer who stood in a hallway during Lea’s character Rachel Berry’s New York audition – with the scene ending as Rachel stormed past her and a group of other extras to get out of the room.
      “Take after take she had to walk by me in a huff, but in between certain things would just happen,” Imia told Britain’s The Sun newspaper. “She walked by me and burped in my face, this loud burp, directly almost face-to-face, it wasn’t even like, ‘oh she wouldn’t have known…’ she knew she burped in my face!”
      “Two other people saw it and an operator said, ‘Oh my God, I’m so sorry she did that.’ I was just like, ‘Yeah, whatever,’ you’re on set trying to be professional, you’re not trying to make a huge deal about things. (After) the second or third take she walked by me and stepped on my foot really hard. You know when you bump into someone you can feel it, again nothing, no reaction, like I wasn’t there.”
      “Another extra rolled her eyes like, ‘Wow, that’s so like her to not acknowledge.’ It made me feel like I was nothing, even if she just said in a half-a**ed kind of way like, ‘Oh, I’m sorry,’ but no.”
      Calling Lea “cold,” Imia also alleged she referred to the extras as “cockroaches” – with other people even warning her about the actress before she signed up to star in “Glee”.
      “I’ve never really seen anyone treat extras like that, to that level of, ‘Ugh, don’t look at me, don’t make eye contact, ugh cockroaches, there they are,” Imia said. “Dude, we’re still coworkers, we’re still people, all trying to get this episode done as a group. I think I was even on a different show and someone was like, ‘Oh, you know Lea’s a b**ch, right? She calls the extras cockroaches.”

      'RHOBH' Stars in Shock After Denise Richards' Husband Threatens to 'Crush' Her Hand on the Show

      by

      WENN

      Erika Jayne expresses her disbelief to what Aaron Phypers says in the latest episode of the Bravo reality series with her tweet, which is echoed by Kyle Richards, Teddi Mellencamp and Lisa Rinna.
      Jun 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Denise Richards’ husband Aaron Phypers said the unthinkable in the latest episode of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”. The 47-year-old left everyone in shock after he threatened to physically harm his wife on the show.
      In the Wednesday, June 3 episode of the Bravo reality series, Denise and Aaron stormed out of a BBQ party at Kyle Richards’ home after she was confronted by Kyle and Teddi Mellencamp about not trusting her kids around them. The two walked hand-in-hand with the camera still following them.
      After Denise repeatedly told him to stay mum because they’re still on camera, Aaron made a threatening remark. “Don’t tell me what to say. I’m going to crush your f**king hand. Stop it,” he was heard saying.
      His threat has left viewers as well as Denise’s co-stars in shock, with Erika Jayne tweeting, “Wait! What did he just say??” Echoing the sentiment, Kyle, Teddi and Lisa Rinna later retweeted Erika’s post.

      Erika Jayne reacts to Aaron Phypers’ threat to his wife Denise Richards.
      Meanwhile, fans of the show weighed in on Aaron’s threat in the comments of Erika’s post. “That was scary. I knew something was off about Aaron,” someone reacted. Another shocked user wrote, “He totally said he was going to crush her hand!! WTF?!”
      A third user expressed her concern, “I’m officially scared for Denise. If he says and does that in PUBLIC ON CAMERA what is he doing behind closed doors?” while one other described the couple’s marriage as a “sad relationship.”
      Some others, however, defended Aaron, believing that he didn’t really mean what he said.
      Neither Denise nor Aaron has responded to the backlash regarding Aaron’s remark. Meanwhile, Teddi has made it be known that she doesn’t have the best impression of Aaron following the couple’s tense argument with the other ladies in the latest episode of the show. “When I called him an a**hole I wasn’t too far off #RHOBH,” she defended herself following her remark to Aaron.
