    'RHOA': NeNe Leakes Believes Kenya Moore Provokes Her Because She's Eyeing Good Seat in Reunion

    Instagram

    It apparently only earns NeNe backlash as some people were tired to see the Bravo star talking about ‘Kenya, Kenya Kenya,’ with a person noting, ‘that’s all she talks about.’
    Mar 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – NeNe Leakes addresses her beef with “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” co-star Kenya Moore in her recent YouTube video. In the video, NeNe alluded that Kenya was feuding with her all season because she’s been eyeing the seat next to Andy Cohen in upcoming reunion special episode.
    The 51-year-old revealed on Tuesday, March 17 that prior to her blasting Kenya by saying that she was pregnant with a “buffalo,” Kenya had been on her nerves. “Long before I said anything about her pregnancy–she had a buffalo and I apologized for that–long before that she’d called me a buffalo and she said I was on drugs. I could have been took that personal and not talk to her, but I was like whatever,” she shared.
    “But the reason why this girl has arguments with me all season to the end–I try to tell [Porsha Williams] but I don’t think Porsha got it until maybe just recently–she did all of that because she wants to make sure that she has the seat beside Andy,” NeNe alleged. “And Porsha sits on that seat, and Kenya sits all the way at the end.”
    “It doesn’t matter for all these girls where they sit but to Kenya, she wants to be ‘that girl.’ She wants to be able to sit beside Andy,” NeNe insisted.

    The clip apparently only earned NeNe backlash. Some people were tired to see NeNe talking about “Kenya, Kenya Kenya,” as a person noted, “that’s all she talks about.” Meanwhile, one other said, “Kenya had the most drama this season aside from NeNe, so she would’ve been sitting next to him any way.”
    Further blasting NeNe, a person wrote, “Isn’t she too old to be acting the the fool. No self respecting person acts this way.” Another comment read, “Ain’t she like over 50? Old a** children.”
    “I would die of embarrassment If I was in my early 50s and took time out of my life during a pandemic to talk about who gonna sit next to some white man who dont give a f**k about any one of them!! I hate to see it..,” someone else said. Meanwhile, a person urged NeNe to quit the show because “the girls, including your lap dog Marlo, all get along with each other when you ARE NOT THERE.”

    Whoopi Goldberg Returns to Co-Host 'The View' via Video Call as Coronavirus Precaution

    Instagram

    During the March 18 episode of the talk show, the ‘Ghost’ star admits to making the decision after receiving mixed messages from local officials about the danger of COVID-19.
    Mar 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Whoopi Goldberg has taken to co-hosting her U.S. talk show “The View” from her New York City home after placing herself under self-isolation.
    The “Ghost” star, 64, skipped Tuesday’s (March 17) studio taping of the programme to pay a precautionary visit to her doctor, a year after battling a near-fatal bout of double pneumonia.
    Goldberg returned to TV screens on Wednesday’s episode of “The View”, which she co-presented via a video call from her private residence amid the global coronavirus pandemic.
    On the show, the actress explained to her fellow panellists, Sunny Hostin and Meghan McCain, she had been given the “all clear” to head into work by her doctor, only to then receive mixed messages from local officials, who are battling over plans to potentially place New York City on a temporary lockdown in an effort to halt the spread of COVID-19, which can be deadly to the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.
    The lack of a clear directive prompted Goldberg to remain in isolation for her own safety: “My brain said, ‘You know what? Until they can figure out what they’re doing, I should not go in,’ so that’s why I’m here.”
    She joins comedienne and co-host Joy Behar, 77, in choosing to stay away from the Manhattan studio to protect herself from potentially contracting the coronavirus.

    “The View” is just one of two daytime programmes, along with self-help series “The Dr. Oz Show”, still in production in the Big Apple, where they are currently being filmed without the usual studio audience and with limited staffmembers.

    'American Idol' Production Halted Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

    ABC

    Contestants who had made it through the elimination rounds have been sent home to their families, as health officials urge people to stay indoors and practice social distancing.
    Mar 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Production has halted on the current season of “American Idol” amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
    According to TVLine, contestants who had made it through the elimination rounds have been sent home to their families, as health officials urge people to stay indoors and practice social distancing to prevent the spread of the virus.
    It is believed production staff are working on the show remotely, with episodes expected to continue to air as scheduled up until the beginning of the live shows – which were slated to begin in mid-April (20), with judges Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and pregnant Katy Perry, and host Ryan Seacrest.
    The decision follows similar moves from “America’s Got Talent”, which went dark last week after days of auditions without a live audience, and talk shows like “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”, “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”, “Late Night with Seth Meyers”, and “The Wendy Williams Show”.
    Covid-19 has also delayed production on several blockbuster movies, including “Jurassic World: Dominion” and “The Batman”, and has pushed the release of new James Bond movie “No Time to Die” and Disney’s “Mulan”, among others.
    Globally, more than 198,900 cases of coronavirus have been registered, resulting in a death toll of over 7,900 since the outbreak began in December (19).

    'LHH': Alexis Skyy Calls Karlie Redd's Husband Arkansas Mo 'Fraud' Over Fake Storyline Claims

    Instagram

    Writing on her Twitter account, Alexis accuses Arkansas of begging her ‘to b with me, begging me to bring u onto LovenHipHop’ before alluding that he’s gay.
    Mar 18, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The premiere episode of “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” season 9 saw Alexis Skyy having a heated altercation with co-star Karlie Redd. The two ladies were at each other’s throat at Kirk and Rasheeda Frost’s anniversary party after Alexis claimed that Karlie’s husband Arkansas Mo proposed to Karlie with the ring that he previously gave to her.
    Hours after the episode aired, Arkansas broke his silence and slammed Alexis, accusing her of lying for a storyline. “if you ever hate me, hate me alone.. don’t be out here lying, and trying to recruit people to hate me with yo miserable a**,” so the message in the picture, which he shared on Tuesday, March 17 on Instagram, read.
    “I wasn’t even going to address this bs, but this thirsty a** mf really got me f***ed up! I’m not the lames you use to and I never gave anyone the same ring, might of fact NEVER even gave you a ring, I was with jeweler getting my grill…,” Arkansas wrote in the caption. “u FaceTime, he later sent me a video of a ring, I asked what you think…now your miserable ass done flipped that into a storyline and this was well before I even met my wife….”
    “swear they don’t want to be on a messy a** show yet making up s**t to be on the show, fake a** storylines,” he went on to say. “At no point I was your n***a you was just a mf a dude knew from the h** circuit! Truly need to stop swearing s**t on your kid…damn sure need to keep my name out your mouth!!! And when I met my wife, I wasn’t even dealing with you, no communication or anything.”

    It didn’t take long before Alexis responded on her Twitter account. “Arkansas BOTTOM Butt Mo… I wouldn’t even address you because all your were was a fraud to Me!!! You know I NEVER LIKE U… & I NEVER in my life said we were in a relationship. You & ur Wife said it!!!” she furiously tweeted. In another post, she also accused Arkansas of begging her “to b with me, begging me to bring u onto Love&HipHop, u didn’t lease a 800k house around the corner from my moms house in Larenceville to be w me?”
    She also denied hooking up with Arkansas, writing, “I NEVER in my life slept around with him, I NEVER kissed or mess with this man a day in my life!!! All he did was literally spent about $100,000 on me in two months while trying to pursue me!!! & THAT WAS IT!!!”
    “I told you I didn’t want a relationship with u but we would be friends…. & you wouldn’t accept that!!! You then txt my best friend @kingikey & my stepdad with videos of the ring asking ‘if this would change my mind?’ I told them NO!!!!” she continued. “Then 3 weeks later when on Met & Proposed to Karlie with the same ring!!! Once I made it known… ya switched the ring!!!! You’re a fraud!!!! Who’s desperately wants to be on TV!!! All u do is pursue girls who’s on TV!!!! I guess u found ur dummy!! Cuz it wasn’t me!!!”

    Not enough, Alexis added, “All u do is go around stealing ppls money & trying to make yourself seem like this person your not!!! I rest my case!! Your a f****in Clown.” Later, she appeared to allude that Arkansas is gay, writing, “now stop beating on your ‘wife’ and go find a dude who satisfies your ITCH!!!”

    Heard About the Pandemic? On ‘Big Brother,’ They Hadn’t

    BERLIN — It has spread to every continent except Antarctica, brought the global economy to its knees and turned life upside down for millions of people. But, until Tuesday night, there was one lucky group of attractive, young people who knew nothing about the coronavirus pandemic.After weeks of being cut off from the world, the contestants of Germany’s version of “Big Brother” were told about the unfolding crisis in a midseason live show on Tuesday night.The TV show centers on 14 contestants confined to two adjacent houses for 100 days. They are filmed around the clock and gradually eliminated by viewer voting, with the winner taking home 100,000 euros (around $110,000). The current season began on Feb. 10, when most cases of the coronavirus were still in China.Speaking from behind a sheet of protective glass, “Big Brother’s” host, Jochen Schropp, explained that “a disease called COVID-19 had spread across the world” and “reached Europe.” Contestants were then shown news clips of recent events, including footage of deserted streets in Italy and Germany. Most of the contestants watched in shocked silence. Several erupted into sobs.Wiping away tears, one contestant, identified as Michelle, 26, explained that because she works as a geriatric nurse, she was particularly worried about her patients. Another, who works as a bartender, expressed concern about what the virus might mean for the country’s economy.The show had gone on as usual in recent weeks, even as the pandemic upended life in Germany. On Monday night, Chancellor Angela Merkel announced sweeping measures to combat the spread of the virus, including shutting the country’s borders with France, Austria and Switzerland to noncommercial traffic, and forcing the closure of most shops.As of Tuesday afternoon, 8,009 cases have been reported in Germany, a majority in North Rhine-Westphalia, the region where “Big Brother” is filmed.Now that we live in the era of “social distancing,” the contestants’ closeness has seemed like a relic from a more innocent time. In an episode that aired Monday, two contestants were made to spend a full day chained to each other, as part of a challenge set for them by the show’s producers.In another recent episode, male contestants took turns performing half-nude lap dances on a female participant. At a house party, one contestant drank sparkling wine out of another’s bellybutton.While conversation throughout Germany, as elsewhere, has been dominated by discussions of the virus, the contestants’ discussions have focused on more banal topics, like dating, household chores and their sexual interests.In an article on Thursday in the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper, a spokeswoman for Sat. 1, the channel that broadcasts the show, was quoted defending the ethics of withholding information from the contestants. But the show quickly reversed course. In an email on Tuesday, Sandra Scholz, a spokeswoman in the channel’s press office, said the program’s policy had always been to inform contestants “anytime something this exceptional happens in the world.”Contestants on “Big Brother” in Italy and Australia were recently told about the epidemic, and participants in Canada were informed after they noted the conspicuous absence of a studio audience during the segment of the show when contestants are eliminated.“Big Brother” has had to grapple with similar dilemmas about news events in the past. In 2001, the American version of the program broke the set’s news blackout to inform its cast members about the September 11 attacks. One of the contestants, Monica Bailey, had a cousin died who during the attack.Although four new contestants entered the German show on March 9 in a surprise twist, they were barred by producers from speaking about current events. The channel’s press office said in an email that all new arrivals had been screened for the virus, and that production staff had taken enhanced protective measures in recent weeks.Scholz also explained that contestants would have access to a psychologist to help them cope with the news. Schropp, the host, was joined by a doctor to deliver the announcement on Tuesday night.After an emotional question-and-answer session, the contestants were shown video messages from their loved ones, all of whom insisted they were healthy and urged the housemates not to leave the show. Gina, a bubbly contestant with bleached hair, was told by a friend that she was “not missing anything, because all the clubs and bars are closed.”The partner of another contestant, Pat, urged him to stay in the house. It was, he added, “the best quarantine that exists.” More
