      John Krasinski Insists Selling of 'Some Good News' Was Not Matter of Money

      by

      WENN

      Speaking to former co-star Rainn Wilson on his ‘Hey There, Human’ live broadcast, the former star of ‘The Office’ notes on the little time he’d have once the coronavirus lockdown comes to an end.
      May 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – John Krasinski has defended his decision to sell his lockdown web series “Some Good News” to ViacomCBS.
      The “A Quiet Place” star announced last week, end May 24, that the network would host the program with a new host after a bidding war, with many people accusing him of “selling out” by moving the show from its former free platform to a bigger organization.
      However, speaking to former “The Office” co-star Rainn Wilson on his “Hey There, Human” live broadcast, John explained it wasn’t a matter of money, but of how little time he knew he’d have once the coronavirus lockdown comes to an end.
      “I knew the two options were always gonna be that I leave it off with eight in my office – which I would love to keep doing this show from my office forever, (but) it just wasn’t sustainable,” he explained. “So I’d need a partner coming on. And it’s funny, in the first episode I said, ‘Why isn’t there a news show dedicated entirely to good news?’ and now we have one of the biggest news programs in America, CBS News, saying that they want to make it part of their permanent news cycle, which is insane.”
      “The fact that we were able to accomplish that – in eight weeks it went from not existing to now being on one of these huge news networks – is honestly one of the most amazing honors I’ve ever been able to pull off. And again, it was all due to the community and to the people.”

      John added the decision was fuelled by the fact he has to shoot the upcoming third series of “Jack Ryan”, among various other commitments.
      The first new episodes of “Some Good News” will be shown on the rebranded CBS All Access this summer, before other ViacomCBS networks get the second run of installments.

      Instagram

      Additionally, the Xscape singer explains that the producers edited out NeNe’s call in part 3 of season 12 reunion of the Bravo reality show following her premature exit.
      May 26, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Kandi Burruss offers some more details about NeNe Leakes’ premature exit during ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta” season 12 reunion. Speaking to HollywoodLife.com in an episode of TVTalk on Instagram Live, Kandi shared what wasn’t shown on the show following NeNe’s exit.
      “You saw [Marlo Hampton] did try to reach out to her, [Porsha Williams] did, but she did not come back to the computer but she was calling us on speakerphone,” the Xscape singer said. “Now what they didn’t show you [on TV] was we could actually hear what she was saying [at the time of filming], but they did not play her voice [from] the phone [on TV].”
      As for why the producers decided to edit it out, Kandi shared, “I [don’t] know why they didn’t want to play what she was saying.”
      NeNe left the reunion at the end of Part 2, and she tried to talk to everyone on speakerphone during a private phone call with Porsha. “Why are you calling us on speaker phone, but you don’t want to talk to us [on video]? It didn’t make sense,” Kandi stated. “So that was what you didn’t see was that we were actually able to hear her talking on the speakerphone for a short period of time until [Andy Cohen] was like, ‘No, uh uh, we’re just going to go forward [without her].’ ”
      Kandi went on saying that filming the reunion was exhausting. “Overall, I think that the funny thing was all of us were exhausted. We were pretty much exhausted after the reunion,” she divulged.

      Following the reunion, Kandi shared that she didn’t keep in contact with other ladies. “We didn’t talk that much,” she explained. “I briefly spoke to Marlo, I think, and I briefly spoke to Kenya for a short period of time, but really, everybody was just so exhausted. Sitting in front of a computer all day is exhausting. Since the reunion, NeNe and I haven’t talked at all.”

      Guy Sebastian: 'The Voice Australia' Judges Are Unable to Resolve Massive Arguments Due to COVID-19

      by

      Nine Network

      Addressing the incident that resulted in one of the show’s famous mentors storming off set, the ‘Battle Scars’ singer hints that it was instigated by either Kelly Rowland or Delta Goodrem.
      May 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “The Voice” Australia coaches are at loggerheads after one of the show’s famous mentors stormed off set, according to Guy Sebastian.
      The singer-songwriter sits on the panel of the popular TV talent contest, alongside Boy George, Kelly Rowland, and Delta Goodrem, and he told Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald “there’s unresolved feelings” following the “massive argument”.
      While the former Australian Idol star mentioned the incident was instigated by one of the “girls”, he did not specify whether it was Delta or Kelly.
      Guy said the judges haven’t been able to see each other face-to-face since the dispute, so the issue has yet to be resolved.
      “I’m not one of those people who can go, ‘Oh, what happens on the set stays on the set’, I don’t believe that,” he told the publication. “Whenever there’s an argument, or it gets personal and nasty, I withdraw and I struggle to get over it.”
      The Voice filmed the blind audition stage of the show before the COVID-19 crisis was declared a pandemic in March.
      Earlier this month, it was reported Kelly and Boy George may be replaced by stand-in coaches, or they could mentor their acts virtually while remaining in America and England, respectively.

      'RHOA': Kenya Moore Claims NeNe Leakes' Olive Branch Is Covered in Poison Ivy

      by

      Instagram

      During part 3 of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ reunion, the former Miss USA insists that she has proofs that she tried to reach out to her castmate when her husband Gregg was battling cancer.
      May 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Kenya Moore has accused NeNe Leakes of being fake. During the third part of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” reunion, the former Miss USA found herself being grilled about her ongoing disputes with her castmate, forcing her to get candid about why she appeared “unwilling” to accept the latter’s extended olive branch.
      In the Sunday, May 24 edition, host Andy Cohen pointed out to Kenya that NeNe tried to talk to her at two different occasions, at the bowling event and during a dinner in Greece, without avail. When asked to clarify, the 49-year-old said, “Because I know it was all fake and phony because of our history. And I can see a fake a mile away. So why should I accept an olive branch if it’s covered in poison ivy?”
      During the chat, Kenya was also asked if she reached out to NeNe when her husband Gregg was battling cancer. Though Marlo Hampton claimed the actress did not do so, Kenya insisted that she did. “I did. Absolutely, and I have the text messages to prove it,” she claimed.
      “The Celebrity Apprentice” alum went on to elaborate, “I have the missed phone calls to prove it. She never asked me about myself [during my difficult pregnancy]. And I look at all of that, and I just said, ‘You know what. This lady is not for me.’ ”
      When Andy asked Kandi Burruss and Cynthia Bailey what initiated the feud between Kenya and NeNe, Kandi responded by admitting, “Honestly, I don’t know anymore.” She added, “They’ve been arguing for so long that I’m not sure where it all started.” Cynthia shared similar sentiment as she stated, “I’m not sure either.”
      The former model, however, did point out, “I do know that when we started filming this season, Nene was very interested in meeting up with Kenya. Maybe she was trying to make amends with or whatever her reasons, but I do know that Nene wanted to meet up with Kenya.”
      Elsewhere during the reunion, Gail “Yovanna” Momplaisir made an appearance to address the “#SnakeGate.” Accusing NeNe of being the mastermind behind the secret taping of Cynthia’s private conversation, Gail said, “I’m here to clear my name. Not only did she ask me to record Ms. Cynthia Bailey, but she told me she wanted me to record every single body that’s sitting right here.”
      “She wanted proof that everybody else is equally talking s**t about her the way she talks s**t about everybody else,” Gail elaborated. She additionally spilled that Nene has sent her “threatening text messages, harassing phone calls from blocked numbers, and even a cease and desist from her attorney.”
      “In her cease and desist, her attorney’s verbiage was that I needed to destroy any alleged audio that I might have on her that would portray her in a negative light or defame her character,” she explained. “I don’t know where she got that information from, I’ve never recorded NeNe. But clearly she’s afraid of the truth coming out here today.”
      When confronted by Porsha Williams on why she did not come clean earlier, Momplaisir admitted, “I was still trying to protect her.” She continued, “It was beyond me why she actually went and told you guys she had an audio when she had actually never heard one her damn self. … The only reason I hadn’t really said anything is because I didn’t know that NeNe officially threw me under the bus.”

      Kendall Jenner's 'Fraternal Twin' Kirby Jenner Outed in First Look at 'KUWTK' Parody Show

      by

      [embedded content]

      The whole Kardashian family, including Kendall and momager Kris Jenner, is supportive of the Quibi series, with Kim Kardashian dubbing Kirby ‘the best kept secret of our generation.’
      May 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Kendall Jenner has a twin brother that no one has ever known before. Kirby Jenner, the self-proclaimed “fraternal twin brother” of the 24-year-old model, is about to make his debut in a self-titled show which is set to air on Quibi.
      The first-look trailer for the eight-episode parody series has been released online, featuring members of the famous family. “My name is Kirby Jenner, everyone in my family has already had their own reality shows. So when this network asked if I wanted to do my own show I was like, ‘I don’t know? I hadn’t really thought about it.’ But then my mom said yes,” Kirby says in the video.
      “My family is filled with people who do pretty important things,” he re-introduces his family. “My twin sister Kendall models, Kourtney keeps having babies, Khloe’s tall, Kylie makes lipsticks, mom does business. My sister Kimberly is practicing to become a lawyer.”
      “And I guess I do some pretty fun things too,” so he claims, before describing himself, “I’m an amateur model, I like to rollerblade. I’m 24 years old and I guess it’s just time for me to start pulling my own weight and help out with the family business.”
      Kirby later appears in a confessional with Kim Kardashian, who tells her brother, “You’re the best kept secret of our generation.”
      Speaking to E! News, Kirby teases what to expect from his show. “Well, I think if anyone has seen my family’s show, ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’, my show is kind of like that, except it follows me,” he says. “And I think that I do some pretty cool things. Like, I did some party planning with my sisters and I got into a battle with a bird, which was crazy. Someone got hurt. It was bad. But they’re OK now, so it’s fine.”
      Asked why he’s never seen on her family’s popular reality show before, Kirby explains, “That’s a question that I actually get asked a lot. And the truth is, it just sort of like happened that way. I don’t think anyone in my family was like, trying to hide me or like keep me a secret. I’ve just always been busy doing my own thing. You know?”
      Kendall and Kris Jenner executive produce “Kirby Jenner”, which chronicles the daily life of Kirby, who displays his expert Photoshop skills on a popular Instagram parody account that has amassed 1.2 million followers.
      “I’m thrilled that Quibi viewers will get an inside look at the life of my twin brother and he’ll finally have the opportunity to shine in this series,” Kendall said in a statement released on Sunday, May 24. The first two episodes of the series premiere on Sunday.
