What’s StreamingHILLARY Stream on Hulu. “We want to hear your story, unvarnished, beginning to end,” the filmmaker Nanette Burstein tells Hillary Clinton at the start of this documentary. “Hillary” relays that story in four parts, beginning with her path from a childhood in the Chicago suburbs to becoming the first lady of Arkansas in the early 1980s. Subsequent installments cover her time as the first lady of the United States, as a United States senator and ultimately as a presidential candidate. The documentary places interviews with Bill Clinton and the journalist Joe Klein, among others, alongside archival footage, thought it’s built largely around Burstein’s interviews with Clinton herself. The first question: “Do you feel frustrated that you’ve been in public life for 30 years, yet people feel that they don’t know who you are, that you seem inauthentic?” (It surely can’t be a spoiler to reveal that Clinton’s answer is yes.)SPENSER CONFIDENTIAL (2020) Stream on Netflix. See Mark Wahlberg order burritos and dodge a machete (both in the same scene) in this tongue-in-cheek action movie, the latest collaboration between Wahlberg and the director Peter Berg (“Deepwater Horizon,” “Lone Survivor”). Loosely based on a book by Ace Atkins, the movie casts Wahlberg as Spenser, a former cop who falls into a dangerous conspiracy. “The perfunctory plot matters less than the scenes depicting Spenser’s relationships with his old buddy Henry (Alan Arkin); his new buddy Hawk (Winston Duke); his former girlfriend Cissy (the comedian Iliza Shlesinger); and his dog, Pearl,” Elisabeth Vincentelli wrote in her review for The New York Times. “Those moments are Berg and Wahlberg at their loosely funny best, clearly enjoying making room for the supporting cast to strut their stuff — Duke is especially winning as a laconic gentle giant working on his MMA moves.”ZEROZEROZERO Stream on Amazon. The filmmaker Stefano Sollima had success translating real-life crime into compelling onscreen drama as the showrunner of “Gomorrah,” a popular Italian Mafia series based on nonfiction investigative work by Roberto Saviano. That series developed a reputation for vicious violence, and drew comparisons to “The Wire,” “The Sopranos” and “The Godfather.” Sollima has adapted another work by Saviano, his 2013 nonfiction book “‘ZeroZeroZero,” in this new show, which revolves around international cocaine trafficking. Don’t expect an easy watch: In his review for The Times, Mark Bowden called the book “a kind of concordance of cruelty.”What’s on TVTHE TRADE 9 p.m. on Showtime. In the first season of this series, the documentarian Matthew Heineman (“Cartel Land”) spent time with subjects on many sides of the opioid crisis: Users and their families, police officers and criminals. He turns his attention to human trafficking and smuggling in the second season, which will debut Friday night. It focuses on migrants fleeing Central America, looking at those making the journey, law enforcement agents trying to stop them and shadow industries that have been built around them. More

He adds, “After a couple of takes, the director and the showrunner came out, and they were like ‘Um, could you guys cry… less?'”

Kenya also addresses the matter, saying, ‘Respect? What’s that?’ in response to a question whether or not she thinks Marc was respectful to her throughout the process of the event.
Mar 6, 2020
AceShowbiz – “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Cynthia Bailey has weighed in on the drama between Kenya Moore and her estranged husband Marc Daly. Talking in a Bravo recap, she noted that she had seen all sides of Marc during his charity event, which marked the last time of them being a couple.
“There’s a couple of things I really didn’t appreciate that night after the charity event,” Cynthia said. “At the end of the day, whatever issues Kenya and I go through, she’s still my girl and I know how invested she is in her family.”
Recalling that night, Cynthia shared, “I noticed that Marc didn’t thank Kenya for helping him with the event, which I know she did… He stands up and gives a speech and doesn’t even acknowledge Kenya.” She continued, “I’m not saying that he intentionally set out to not thank her, I just thought it was just really in poor taste that he didn’t.”
“I’ve seen all sides to Marc. I’ve seen Marc where he’s amazing … and then I’ve seen other sides where I don’t get it. He’s not that nice,” he added.
Kenya also addressed the matter in the same video. When asked if she thought Marc was respectful to her throughout the process, Kenya responded, “Respect? What’s that? Um, I think that when you want to take the lead on everything, I don’t think you respect many things that other people have to bring to the table, including myself. No, I think that I should have been treated in a way that honored the gifts that I have that I could’ve blessed him with for the event.”
“And, I just don’t think it ended up like that. I just feel like all night there was tension I didn’t think he was very warm to me, he never thanked my in front of the crowd,” she stated. “There was just a lot going on. But, I kept my head up and a smile on my face to represent my family well. It was just not a pleasant evening and it didn’t end well. I just think at that point we were just very tired of the back and forth and just the stress of our relationship and where we were.”

That night, in addition to saying that he hated being married to Kenya, Marc could be heard yelling at a producer to stop filming the party, “Tell them that’s it. They can’t film forever. Tell them they got to wrap. I’m giving you five minutes and then I’m gonna take care of it. If I come back down here it’s going to be ugly. I don’t give an F. End it. They’re never gonna see me again after the event.”
The argument apparently was the last string for both Kenya and Marc because they separately filed for divorce the very next day following the charity event.

In the episode, The TV host can’t help but cry as she talks about the fact that many African Americans suffer from obesity-related illnesses due to lack of proper nutrition.
Mar 6, 2020
AceShowbiz – Loni Love got emotional in the Thursday, March 5 episode of “The Real”. The TV host couldn’t help but cry as she talked about the fact that many African Americans suffer from obesity-related illnesses due to lack of proper nutrition.
“Let me tell y’all. I did not know how to eat. Growing up in the projects, we just had to eat what we could,” Loni explained through tears to the other co-hosts and audience. “I know it sounds funny, but a lot of women in African-American communities-we don’t know how to eat.”
” ‘Cause we grew up that way. So I’m trying to tell y’all-thank you to WW, because we want to do this to help our brothers and sisters,” she continued. “But I see y’all. I see y’all at my comedy shows and you’re like, ‘We need to get healthier,’ and that’s the reason we’re doing this. It’s just to make y’all aware of what’s happening in the community. You can eat and not starve and you can still lose weight. That’s the reason we’re doing this.”
During the emotional moment, co-host Amanda Seales was caught sporting a rather hilarious facial expression. The actress/activist could be seen looking awkward and fans were digging it.

“Sorry, but Amanda’s reaction/facial expression when Loni started crying…. No shade… I’m happy for Loni. She looks good and her makeup/hair is on point!” one fan commented on the particular moment. “Amanda face when Loni started crying yo. Amanda was confused as hell,” another added. Meanwhile, someone suggested that it wouldn’t be long before Loni will get upset with Amanda.
However, some others didn’t think that Amanda made such facial expression in response to Loni recalling her struggle. “I do not think Amanda made a face because loni was crying. I think it was the fact that she said they did not know how to eat, i find that hard to relieve, because from i was thirteen years i remember a teacher telling us in school about carbohydrates and eating to much of it, she said it was for people that were doing alot of physical activity and about fats, if you could not afford it that a different thing,” one person tried to share her opinion.
“But lack of knowledge l do not think so. And i am from a thirdworld country, so i would think they would mention it in American schools at some point. That is y after i left my parent’s home i stop eating rice and yam every day. Someone tell me if i am wrong,” the person concluded.

Returning to the TV talent show after missing out one season, the former ‘Project Runway’ host says at the season 15 premiere event that she and the ‘Modern Family’ star are going to have fun together.
Mar 6, 2020
AceShowbiz – Heidi Klum offered up some advice to her fellow “America’s Got Talent” judge Sofia Vergara, urging her to “always speak your truth.”
The “Modern Family” star has joined the panel for the upcoming series of the hit TV talent show, alongside fellow judges Heidi, Simon Cowell and Howie Mandel.
Speaking to U.S. TV show “Extra” at the season 15 premiere event on Wednesday (March 04), supermodel Heidi offered up some words of wisdom for her new co-star.
“I told her to always speak your truth. She was like, ‘I don’t want to do anything wrong. I’m nervous’… I said, ‘They might boo because they don’t agree with what you are saying. That’s going to be the weirdest thing for you. It was for me, but otherwise the people are awesome,’ ” she said.
“They are a huge fan of hers, so no problem… ‘Be who you are and be honest with what you see,’ and she has been.”
Heidi returns to the show after missing out on last season, with Julianne Hough and Gabrielle Union replacing her and Mel B (Melanie Brown), respectively. On her comeback, she added, “I am so excited that I was asked back. I missed it last year! It feels like being back at home, back with the family.”
“Now we have a new family member. I love Sofia. I knew Sofia from before. I knew we were going to have fun together.”

The television series fronted by the former ‘True Blood’ actress has been canceled after running for two seasons following the layoffs of the channel’s 100 employees.
Mar 6, 2020
AceShowbiz – Anna Paquin’s celebrity PR firm series “Flack” has been cancelled after two seasons.
Pop TV, the network which broadcasts the show, is cutting back on its scripted televised programming, with “Flack”, “Florida Girls”, and “Best Intentions”, among the shows being scrapped, according to Variety.
The news comes as the network issued its first round of layoffs, with a reported 100 employees being let go from the channel.
While the producers are now open to shop the shows around to other networks and/or streaming services, both “Florida Girls” and “Best Intentions” have previously been recommissioned and were due to being production shortly.
While there is no indication whether “Florida Girls”, starring Laci Mosely and Melanie Field, will be shopped around, a representative for A+E Studios, which produces David Fynn’s “Best Intentions”, indicated they were not pleased by the decision.
“We are extremely disappointed in Pop’s decision to not move forward with Best Intentions,” they said in a statement “We have complete confidence in our creative team and are actively shopping the series to other outlets.”
“Flack” ‘s six-episode second series, also starring Sam Neill, Daniel Dae Kim, and Martha Plimpton, is still expected to debut on Pop TV on March 13, 2020.

The former cast member of ‘The Beautiful Life’ responds to her alleged exit from ‘The Hills’ reboot and takes a dig at the woman who is rumored to be her replacement on the show.
Mar 6, 2020
AceShowbiz – If Mischa Barton has been axed from the second series of “The Hills” reboot, it’s news to the actress-turned-reality star.
It was reported on Wednesday, March 4, 2020 that bosses had decided not to invite the former “The O.C.” star back for the second season of the revived MTV show because she was “too boring.”
The New York Post’s gossip column Page Six also reported that show executives were considering replacing her with DJ and business owner Caroline D’Amore.
However, the suggestion didn’t go down too well with Mischa, who hit back at the rumours as she shared a screenshot of an article on Us Weekly reporting the allegations.
“Lol. Where do people get their reporting from?” she wrote on Instagram, before taking aim at Caroline – the CEO of Italian sauce and pasta company Pizza Girl, Inc.
“As if anyone would watch @carolinedamore try to hoc (sic) her boring ass pasta bowls and greasy pizza on tv. Tried that it was like watching paint dry. Get the story straight first. @usweekly.”
Responding, Caroline thanked Mischa for boosting orders through her company, sharing a snap of herself holding up a Pizza Girl box and writing, “Thank you for the sudden surge in @pizzagirlofficial sales this morning.”
She concluded her post by adding the comments, “#sellingout #notstoopingtoyourlevel @mischabarton REAL women don’t bully other women.”
Mischa has yet to respond while “The Hills” bosses have not commented on the rumours Caroline is replacing the actress on the programme.

For a certain kind of viewer — raise your hand if you love gritty, operatically scaled gangster melodrama — Seasons 3 and 4 of the Italian drug-gang epic “Gomorrah,” seen in other parts of the world but still missing from North American streaming services, are the Honus Wagner rookie card of television.(If you haven’t discovered the show yet, the first two seasons are on Netflix in America. We’ll wait.)Now that you’re back, we have news. “Zerozerozero” (eight episodes Friday on Amazon Prime Video) shares some DNA with “Gomorrah”: It’s also based on a book by the Italian journalist Roberto Saviano, and two of its creators, Stefano Sollima and Leonardo Fasoli, are “Gomorrah” alums. And it is, if you’ll pardon the expression, a decent fix. It’s not the pure stuff, but it will tide you over.“Zerozerozero” is, like the drug deal it chronicles, an international production, bringing Amazon together with the European networks Sky and Canal Plus. (The title isn’t explained, but presumably refers to the very large sums of money exchanged via banking apps or duffel bags.)And it reflects its mixed origins in a literal way. “Zerozerozero” is three shows in one: an Italian mafia saga with rocky Calabrian hillsides and generational omertà; a Mexican narco thriller with lavish cartel violence; and, more improbably, an indie-movie-style American family drama and character study. The series toggles among the three stories, which are intimately connected but for the most part told separately, with occasional meetings that are invariably bad news for the characters involved.The common thread, purchased in Mexico and transported to Italy by an American broker, is a shipping container of jalapeño tins that actually hold cocaine. They’re a familiar but effective narrative and visual device, weary but determined travelers whose progress we root for as they’re hoisted on and off ships and trucked across deserts and mountains.They’re also mute witness to the travails of their Mexican sellers, Italian buyers and American expediters. In Monterrey a special-forces sergeant (Harold Torres) takes his team of anti-cartel soldiers on a ruthless and bloody venture into the private sector while keeping up his attendance at evangelical church services. In Calabria an aging don (Adriano Chiaramida) hides out in underground bunkers and abandoned farmhouses while dealing with his rebellious grandson (Giuseppe de Domenico).Caught between, in New Orleans, a father, daughter and son (Gabriel Byrne, Andrea Riseborough and Dane DeHaan) struggle to keep the family shipping brokerage afloat, counting on the tens of millions they stand to make from transporting those jalapeño tins.And, again improbably, the American story line is the strength of “Zerozerozero” — when it’s onscreen, there’s more to watch than a coolly efficient international crime thriller. Perhaps because they couldn’t fall back as easily on mafia or narco clichés, Sollima and his collaborators came up with a framework for the American family — domineering father, children struggling to prove themselves in the business, sister fiercely protective of brother with degenerative disease — that’s usefully melodramatic and gives Riseborough and DeHaan room to portray a real and subtly moving relationship.Their scenes, as the sister and brother tend to the shipment through increasingly dangerous and implausible complications on the Atlantic and in Africa, provide emotional and dramatic jolts in what’s otherwise a polished, visually absorbing, highly engineered prestige-TV package. Locations in northern Mexico, southern Italy and the Sahara are photographed in ways that are simultaneously arresting and unsurprising, and the “Gomorrah”-like ambience — violent action depicted with a melancholy austerity of tone and style — is reinforced by the incantatory music of the Scottish band Mogwai.That kind of package is an impressive thing in its own right, and the Italian sequences have their share of coups, like an opening scene in which the gangster emerges from a cramped, windowless cell into a wild mountain landscape. But “Zerozerozero” also has stretches, especially in the Mexican story line, that serve mostly to fill our expectations of this kind of show, sequences in which the narco-thriller conventions are just there for their own sake. As a globe-spanning attempt to tell a start-to-finish story of the drug trade, “Zerozerozero” evokes Steven Soderbergh’s 2000 film “Traffic” (based on the superior British mini-series “Traffik”), and it shares the movie’s tendency to sacrifice dramatic specificity for the sake of broad-brush platitudes.It has a saving grace, though, in Riseborough, who overcomes an attention-grabbing hairdo — a two-tone affair resembling an alien warrior’s helmet — and makes human and disarmingly charming what could have been a flat, cartoonish character. Spoiler alert: Her character, unlike many, survives, and the smile that pops onto her face amid the carnage of the show’s final scene is enough to make you hope for a second season. More
