      Katy Perry Claims 'American Idol' Is Going to Get 'Really Creative' Amid Coronavirus Lockdown

      Instagram

      During a Facebook Live session, the ‘Roar’ hitmaker responses to question how she and fellow judges, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan, will continue filming after COVID-19 confines people to their home.
      Apr 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Upcoming episodes of “American Idol” will get “really creative” amid the coronavirus lockdown, judge Katy Perry has teased.
      As the global health crisis continues to claim the lives of thousands of people around the world, enforcements have been introduced to confine people to their homes in a bid to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
      As such, numerous TV shows have been affected, with production shutting down filming on all in-progress series last month (March). “Idol” was one such show, and during a Facebook Live session on Sunday (April 12) night, judge Katy was asked how she and her fellow judges, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan, will continue filming the programme amid the lockdown – which shows no sign of ending any time soon.
      “What’s going on with the show since we’re all still in quarantine?” Katy said as she read the question from one viewer.
      “Well, I think that we’re all gonna have to be very creative,” she answered. “I know that we’re going to get really creative and you’ll just have to be tuning into that creativity that we are probably going to create from our individual homes… We’ll see how this goes.”
      Katy, who also said she’d “love to” perform on the new season of Idol if at all possible, opened up about how she’s coping during the lockdown.
      The “Never Worn White” star is currently expecting her first child with fiance Orlando Bloom, and admitted she’s having “ups and downs” as she negotiates the unprecedented situation.

      “Just think of the things to be grateful for and that puts your mind in a good place,” she urged. “I love you. I miss you guys. It’s a crazy time. This is a weird and wild time and I’m sure a lot of you are going through a lot of emotions. I’m in the same club… I wish I had some answers.”
      “I hope that we can all get our smile back again soon. You guys stay safe and stay healthy.”

      Incarcerated 'Tiger King' Star Joe Exotic Unraveled to Be 'Scared to Death' of Big Cats

      by

      Netflix

      Rick Kirkham, the producer behind Netflix’s ‘Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness’, additionally recalls how ‘unbelievably cruel’ the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park’s former owner could be.
      Apr 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Joe Exotic is “terrified of big cats”, according to “Tiger King” producer Rick Kirkham.
      “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” debuted on Netflix last month, and focuses on incarcerated Oklahoma zoo boss Exotic, real name Joe Maldonado-Passage, and his plot to kill his bitter rival Carole Baskin.
      It’s been a worldwide smash hit for the streaming service, with Joel McHale taking charge of a reunion special, “The Tiger King and I”, on Sunday night (April 12), which featured the return of some of the programme’s most loved characters, including producer Kirkham.
      In his chat, Kirkham told McHale that despite his “Tiger King” nickname, Joe was actually petrified of big cats, and had them sedated whenever he had to get close to them for work.
      “He was scared to death of lions and tigers,” Kirkham said. “In the shots you see where he’s in with the two tigers, the white one is blind and the other one is tranquilised. It’s idiotic to think how he’s become famous as ‘the tiger king’ when he’s so terrified of big cats.”
      Kirkham also recounted a horrific story about the “unbelievably cruel” Joe, describing how he’d given reassurances to a tearful woman that he’d give her horse a “good life” on his property.
      “Before she got off the park – he said, ‘Rick, roll your camera. Roll your camera. Come on, you’re gonna love this Rick’, – he walked up, pulled a gun out of his holster and shot the horse dead in the trailer and then cut it up with a chainsaw and then fed it to the tigers that day,” Kirkham recalled. He also claimed that Joe would kill the old tigers and “feed them right to the other tigers”.
      Elsewhere in the reunion special, Jeff and Lauren Lowe, the couple who took over Joe’s Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park, reflected on another allegation touched upon in the series – that Baskin killed her ex-husband Don Lewis and fed him to the tigers.
      Asked whether or not he believed that Baskin murdered Lewis, Jeff replied: “There’s no question in my mind that she did it, and we’ve claimed that for years and years and years.”
      “Abso-f**king-lutley,” his wife Lauren agreed emphatically.
      Baskin has always vehemently denied having anything to do with Lewis’ disappearance. She said in an interview with the Tampa Times on Friday that she’s been receiving death threats herself since the show started streaming, and her publicist told Us Weekly that while she hadn’t been asked to be part of “The Tiger King and I”, she wouldn’t have participated anyway due to her portrayal in the programme.

      by

      What’s on TVTHE BACHELOR PRESENTS: LISTEN TO YOUR HEART 8 p.m. on ABC. It’s only been about a month since Peter Weber wrapped up his divisive stint as television’s most visible romantic free agent on “The Bachelor.” Many fans are still parsing his decision to break off his engagement with Hannah Ann to pursue a relationship with Madison, especially since the couple called things off soon after the finale aired. The franchise’s new offering starts off with a two-hour episode, and follows musicians looking for love. It should be diverting enough to help viewers forget that the most recent bachelor didn’t end his season betrothed. At the very least, it will tide us over until Clare Crawley assumes “The Bachelorette” throne. The spinoff’s contestants will perform separately and together as they try to develop ongoing relationships.THE BAKER AND THE BEAUTY 10 p.m. on ABC. If you’re still in the mood for romance after watching aspiring musicians flirt and flaunt their skills for two hours, this new series about an average Joe and a famous fashion mogul may hit the spot. The two meet when Daniel (Victor Rasuk), who works at the family bakery, publicly rejects his girlfriend’s marriage proposal. He’s splattered with soup, a parting gift from his spurned partner. Noa (Nathalie Kelley), the titular beauty and celebrity, offers him a ride away from his troubles. But instead of returning to his close-knit clan of parents and siblings, Daniel joins Noa for a night out in Miami.What’s StreamingANATOMY OF A MURDER (1959) Stream on the Criterion Channel. Jimmy Stewart stars in this acclaimed courtroom drama by Otto Preminger as Paul Biegler, a folksy small-town lawyer who is called upon to defend an Army lieutenant charged with murder (Ben Gazzara). The officer says it was a revenge killing for the rape of his wife, Laura (Lee Remick). Biegler is hopeful that he will be able to successfully argue that the lieutenant is innocent because his actions were the result of an “irresistible impulse.” But the case proves difficult to make. The prosecution is tough and Laura appears unsympathetic and unreliable.THE MOUTH OF THE WOLF (2009) Stream on Mubi. The director Pietro Marcello’s film “Martin Eden” was supposed to open in theaters in the United States this month, but its release was postponed because of the coronavirus. While we wait for “Martin Eden,” the Italian director’s adaptation of Jack London’s 1909 novel, his first two full-length films are available to stream. One, “The Mouth of the Wolf,” is a hybrid documentary and drama that follows Vincenzo Motta after his release from prison, as he readjusts to life in Genoa and reunites with his companion, Mary. The other, “Crossing the Line,” is a documentary: a journey through Italy on the country’s long-distance express trains. More

      'RHOA': Porsha Williams Fires Back After Kenya Moore Alludes She's 'Fake'

      by

      Instagram

      Kenya claims that ‘there are definitely two’ fake cast members on the current cast members of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’, though she only reveals one of them.
      Apr 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kenya Moore recently made an appearance on “Out Loud with Claudia Jordan”. In the Friday, April 11 episode, which also featured Donny Harrell and Mike Hill, she talked about rumors that the show was “fake.”
      “How much of the show was scripted? Because people seem to think that a lot of it is fake,” Claudia, who is a former “RHOA” star, asked Kenya. In response to that, Kenya replied, “I can say that the show isn’t scripted at all but there are people on the show that are fake.”
      Claudia then pressed her to name the fakest one among the ladies. “I think at this point there are definitely two,” Kenya shared, though she didn’t reveal the names. “I think you butted heads with both of those people,” she hinted.
      Seemingly trying to stop talking about it, Kenya sang praises for Claudia. “She’s a great friend. I’ve known her for 20 years,” she said. “It’s been a long, long time and this woman knows several secrets of mine. She has kept my secrets for a very long time and that is why I will always trust her.”
      Mike Hill, Cynthia Bailey’s fiance, wanted Claudia to just drop the name, but she refused. “If I was on the show, then I would be very clear. I’d have no problem speaking up for what I see is bulls**t or a fake behavior. But I’m not in the film,” the Fox Soul host explained. “This is about Kenya.”
      Kenya did eventually reveal one of the “fakest” housewives, saying, “NeNe is one for sure.” Meanwhile, people think that the other housewife that Kenya referred to was Porsha Williams since Jordan previously had a beef with her.

      It didn’t take long before Porsha caught wind of the interview. She addressed the alleged diss in a recent episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen”. “I think that she’s bored [and] that she has nothing else to do,” Porsha said.
      Referrencing to Kenya’s claims that her friendship with Tanya Sam was fake, Porsha continued, “I enjoy Tanya. Like, why do my friendships have to be fake, and yet her friendships are real? She shades her friend right there on the show for everybody to see.”

      Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Adam Sandler Join 'Saturday Night Live' Tribute to Late Hal Willner

      by

      NBC

      Days after the music producer passed away from symptoms consistent with the coronavirus, cast members past and present come together virtually to honor his memory.
      Apr 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Saturday Night Live” stars including Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Adam Sandler joined forces this weekend to pay a touching tribute to the show’s late music producer Hal Willner.
      The Pennsylvania native passed away on 7 April, after reportedly suffering from symptoms consistent with the coronavirus, and during Saturday’s, April 11, remotely-filmed show, comedy castmembers past and present came together virtually to honour his memory.
      Kate McKinnon opened the segment by telling viewers, “The music becomes such an integral part of the sketch that you kind of don’t notice it, but without it, it wouldn’t make any sense.
      “On SNL, the guy who scores it only has a few hours. The guy’s name is Hal Willner and we lost him this week.”

      Sandler then appeared onscreen from his home, saying, “We are going to miss you so damn much,” while Kenan Thompson added, “We’re going to miss his presence and passing him in the hallways.”
      Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, John Mulaney, and Pete Davidson also shared their fond memories of Willner, who joined the SNL crew in 1980, before the likes of Fey, Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, and Molly Shannon joined the tribute to deliver a group rendition of Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day”.

      The SNL special, the first new episode to air since the sketch comedy series suspended production in March amid the COVID-19 pandemic, also featured coronavirus survivor Tom Hanks as the surprise guest host, along with surprise cameos from Larry David and Alec Baldwin, who reprised their respective roles as former U.S. presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders and incumbent leader Donald Trump.

      'RHOBH' Star Erika Jayne Defends Brandi Glanville Amid Denise Richards Hookup Rumors

      by

      Instagram

      The hookup rumors started when the ‘RHOBH’ cast went on a trip to Rome in late November 2019 where the ladies confronted Denise about a possible affair with Brandi.
      Apr 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Denise Richards keeps denying Brandi Glanville’s claims that they used to hook up when she’s still married to husband Aaron Phypers. One of them must be lying, and their “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” co-star Erika Jayne thinks that it is definitely not Brandi.
      “I know Brandi through Yolanda [Hadid] and I know that Yolanda always thought Brandi was truthful and my interactions with Brandi have been very straightforward and I don’t think that she has a reason to say something this impactful if in fact it was not true,” Erika shared to HollywoodLife.com. “There’s no way she’s pulling it out of thin air. I’ll just tell you that.”
      However, Erika had no idea what actually happened between the two. “I don’t know what actually happened. You know so there are two sides to every story,” she elaborated. “So Denise has got her side and Brandi has got her side. I don’t know how Denise is going to, or, if Denise is even going to want to talk about it. I don’t know what happened. I don’t know what Denise has said in her interviews about the whole thing.”
      “I don’t know if it’ll be about her being in a relationship with Brandi or whether she said these things about it. I really don’t know what happened,” the 48-year-old Bravo personality continued.
      The hookup rumors started when the “RHOBH” cast went on a trip to Rome in late November 2019. The ladies confronted Denise about a possible affair with Brandi, and further fueling the speculations, Denise has not been wearing her wedding ring since the alleged Brandi hookup story broke.
      Denise, however, denied the rumors as a rep for her said that “the story isn’t true.” Meanwhile, Brandi appeared to break silence on the rumors as she wrote a cryptic post on Instagram on January 9. “When you want to respond but are not ‘allowed’ to…,” so she captioned a snap of herself laughing and looking zen on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen”.
      The 47-year-old fueled the speculations with a not-so-PG tweet directed to Denise on February 3. It started after Denise took to her Twitter account to ask her online devotees for help to decide a new tag line for her for the new season of the Bravo reality show. “Any good tag lines for me for #rhobh ?!? And no… I did not quit,” she tweeted. Later, Brandi appeared to respond to it in a now-deleted post that read, “I might be married to a man but I am still allowed to eat p***y.’ ”

      Carole Baskin Furious With 'Tiger King' Filmmakers After Becoming Target of Death Treats

      by

      In her first interview since the documentary debuted on Netflix, the animal rights activist reveals that she has had to turn her phone off which she used to field calls from emergency services.
      Apr 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Animal rights activist Carole Baskin is furious with “Tiger King” documentary makers because she has become the target of death threats following her portrayal on the hit Netflix series.
      The true crime saga, titled “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness”, focuses on incarcerated Oklahoma zoo boss Joe Exotic and his plot to kill his bitter rival Baskin, who runs a big cat rescue facility in the state, but it also shines a light on the 1997 disappearance of her second husband, multi-millionaire Jack ‘Don’ Lewis.
      No one was ever charged with his murder, but he was declared legally dead in 2002.
      Florida-based Carole claims the completed series is not what she initially signed up for, because all she ever wanted to highlight was the abuse suffered by animals in the captive tiger trade, and instead, she feels duped into appearing onscreen.
      In her first interview since “Tiger King” debuted on Netflix on 20 March, Carole tells the Tampa Bay Times, “I just feel so angry that people have totally missed the point. And the point is these cubs are being abused and exploited and the public is enabling that.”
      Her third husband, Howard Baskin, adds, “There’s almost no way to describe the intensity of feeling of betrayal (sic).”
      Carole claims the show has turned her into a public hate figure, subjected to harassment and even death threats, making her too scared to leave her home or answer her cell phone, through which she used to field calls from emergency services regarding help for injured big cats.
      “I’ve had to turn my phone off,” the 58-year-old says. “I can’t tell the real ones (calls) from the fake ones because they’re always out of state numbers anyway.”
      In “Tiger King”, Exotic accuses Carole of killing Lewis and feeding him to her tigers, allegations she firmly denies, and while she is not considered to be a suspect in her ex’s death, local police have reopened the cold case in the hopes fans of the show will provide them with new leads.
      The Baskins’ interview emerges as fans sink their teeth into a new bonus episode of “Tiger King”, in which actor and TV personality Joel McHale interviews people who appeared on the docu-series.
      The “Tiger King and I” was released on Sunday (April 12), and features chats with the likes of John Finlay, Erik Cowie and Kelci Saffery.
