      The ‘Something Borrowed’ actor will no longer serve as ‘Some Good News’ host when the lockdown web series debuts on television via ViacomCBS this coming summer.
      May 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – John Krasinski’s lockdown web series “Some Good News” is moving to ViacomCBS after the network emerged victorious in a bidding war – but he won’t be hosting anymore.
      The “A Quiet Place” star has enjoyed huge success with his online programme, which he created to provide a spot of light relief during the coronavirus pandemic.
      But just days after announcing Some Good News was “taking a break,” it has been announced that the show has been licensed by ViacomCBS. And while John will no longer be the host, he will still have an on-air presence.
      “Could not be more excited and proud to be partnering with CBS/Viacom to be able to bring Some Good News to so many more people!” the actor said in a statement. “From the first episode, our goal was to create a news show dedicated entirely to good news. Never did I expect to be joining the ranks of such a historic news organisation as CBS.”
      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 instalments.

      The ‘Good Omens’ co-stars have been tapped for a new series inspired by the ongoing coronavirus lockdown and the production has followed the socially-distancing guidelines.
      May 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Good Omens” stars Michael Sheen and David Tennant are to team up again for a BBC comedy filmed entirely in lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic.
      The new six-episode series “Staged” features the cast of a play who are furloughed when their upcoming West End production is suddenly brought to a halt by the coronavirus.
      “Staged”, which also stars David’s wife Georgia Tennant, Lucy Eaton, and Anna Lundberg, as well as guest stars including “Killing Eve” actress Nina Sosanya, follows the cast as they try their best to keep the rehearsals on track in lockdown.
      In a press release announcing the new show, Charlotte Moore, the Director of BBC Content says, “It’s vital that the BBC provides moments of light relief and this mischievous idea shows what great sports Michael and David are in sending themselves up.”
      The production team have been following the latest U.K. government guidelines on Covid-19 to ensure that the series is made safely and responsibly, using a combination of self-shooting and video conferencing technology.
      David, Michael, and Georgia are also executive producers of the series, which will air on BBC One in June 2020.

      Tamra Judge Reveals Her Fiery Reaction to Being Offered a Limited Role on 'RHOC'

      by

      Bravo

      Following her exit from the Bravo reality TV show, the 52-year-old TV personality is now focused on her Vena CBD products, which include everything from soaking salts to cooling creams.
      May 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tamra Judge shared how she decided to exit “The Real Housewives of Orange County”. In an interview with Us Weekly, Tamra revealed that she knew “for the past couple years” that she needed a break from the Bravo reality show.
      “I had said that I was going to just retire. I was just going to be at the reunion [and] just say, ‘You know what?’ ” the 52-year-old said. “And people told me there. They’re like, ‘Listen. Don’t do that. You don’t know what the future holds. Just don’t make any rash decisions. You’re super emotional.’ So I didn’t say anything.”
      With that, Tamra was convinced to stay on the reality TV show despite personal struggle as her ex-husband Simon Barney was diagnosed with cancer. “I’m like, ‘Oh, gosh. OK. This is happening. This is going to be really hard for me to go on and film. It’s going to be difficult.’ So I’m going in my head, going, ‘Oh, s**t,’ ” she explained.
      However, she later received a call from the show’s producer. “I had gotten a call and I was camping and the producer said, ‘Hey, we want to talk to you.’ And I’m like, ‘What’s up?’ And they’re like, ‘Well, the network has decided to go in a different direction,’ ” she recalled.
      “And I’m like, ‘What?! OK, well I thought we start filming in a couple days.’ And they’re like, ‘Yeah.’ And they even said, ‘We’re shocked. We’re completely shocked at this,’ ” she went on saying.
      According to Tamra, the producer told her, “They know that you said you’d never become a friend, so they want to give you a limited role.” Upon hearing the plan, the TV star said, “No, thank you.” She added, “That’s not what I said. I said, ‘F**k off!’ And then I just took a week or so and I just absorbed it. … I cried and I was scared.”
      Following her exit, Tamra is now focused on her Vena CBD products, from soaking salts to cooling creams. “It’s been keeping me busy, that’s for sure. And it’s something we’re super passionate about and we just feel really fortunate that it’s taken off,” she shared. “It’s an amazing product and, really, that’s all that people want is just a really good product that will work!”
