    Twitter

    Aside from taking over the typically-busy train station, the K-pop boy band joins ‘The Tonight Show’ host Jimmy Fallon for a meal at Katz’s Deli and for a chat while riding on New York City subway.
    Feb 26, 2020
    AceShowbiz – K-pop superstars BTS (Bangtan Boys) recently “took over” New York’s famed Grand Central Terminal to stage a special performance for America’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”.
    Producers apparently had the typically-busy train station cleared out for the pre-taped set, during which the “Boy with Luv” hitmakers belted out their new single, “ON”, complete with a group of dancers and a marching band.
    It’s not clear when the seven-piece group stopped by the landmark, but prior to the Monday night (February 24) broadcast, show host Jimmy Fallon explained, “We wanted to do something special for BTS and, at the same time, celebrate New York City.”
    “BTS really knocked it out of the park. You’re not going to believe how big and fun their performance is. They took over Grand Central Terminal.”

    Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Have Fist Fight on 'KUWTK'

    WENN/Tony Forte

    Kim and Kourtney are seen throwing punches at each other in a sneak peek of the upcoming eighteenth season of their reality show ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’.
    Feb 26, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Kim Kardashian and her older sister Kourtney Kardashian got into a fist fight on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”. In a sneak peek of the upcoming eighteenth season, Kim and Kourtney were seen swinging punches and wrestling each other.
    Things got tense between the two sisters and it quickly escalated into a physical fight. “You’ve nothing to say!” Kourtney yelled at Kim before throwing stuff at her younger sister. “Don’t ever come at me like that!” Kim fumed before swinging her fist.
    Kim previously said she and sister Khloe Kardashian were frustrated with Kourtney because Kourtney was selfish and only wanted to film the show just when she felt like it. “If one family member goes on vacation a lot or takes time off a lot, the other family members have to step in and take over those hours,” she explained to Ellen DeGeneres.
    “So for the past year, Khloe and I have been taking over her hours and working because we need content to make the show. So Khloe and I have been really frustrated that we’ve been working longer and we have kids and a lot of stuff going on, so it’s been exhausting for us when she hasn’t taken that into consideration without making a decision of what she wants to do: stay on the show or not.”
    The new season will premiere March 29. Kourtney is expected to have less screen time as she said she was stepping back from the reality show to focus on raising her three young children with Scott Disick. “I just decided to spend more time as a mom and put more of my energy there,” she claimed. “But I’m not saying goodbye.”
    Rumor has it, the “KUWTK” ratings dropped to a new low. When season 17 kicked off, it reportedly could attract only over one million viewers. “The glory days of the show are totally over. Now just 862,000 viewers are watching which isn’t good! There is fear within E! that the numbers will drop even further,” a source told Radar Online.

    Instagram

    The beef between Santana and Tip stems from the latter’s comments on social media, claiming that Santana isn’t a victim of a hate crime like the latter claims.

    “So recently, my good sis Santana got shot on his arm,” Sukihana explained in confessional. “Santana felt like the shooting was a hate crime because he’s gay, but Tip went on social media and said that the reason that he got shot is because he was actin’ crazy at the strip club.”

Like, girl, you makin’ me look crazy out here,” Santana ranted. When Sukihana suggested that Tip might want to set the records straight, he responded, “It wasn’t like you were settin’ the record straight. You wanted to be a tea runner, false tea at that.”
    At the end, Santana appeared to change his mind and let Sukihana to invite Tip to his party. “She like the spotlight, so let her come,” Santana said.

    The beef between Santana and Tip stemmed from Tip’s comments on the shooting incident at a strip club which was targeted at Santana. He claimed that he was shot because he’s gay, but Tip begged to differ. In an Instagram Live, Tip claimed, “Santana pulled down his pants. Security said, ‘You can’t do that in here, my brother.’ So, Santana, he get loud and go crazy on the security guard. It wasn’t a LGBT discrimination.”

    'Hunters' Creator Stands by Controversial Holocaust Scenes

    Amazon/Christopher Saunders

    Officials at the Auschwitz Memorial have criticized the Amazon Prime drama for its fictional deadly game of human chess, but creator David Weil explains the importance of the scenes to the series.
    Feb 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The creator of Al Pacino’s new TV show “Hunters (2020)” has defended the show over controversial scenes that fictionalised atrocities committed during the Holocaust.
    The Amazon Prime Video drama, which follows a team of Nazi Hunters in New York in the 1970s, led by Pacino’s Holocaust survivor Meyer Offerman, features flashbacks to scenes in Nazi death camps – including one that features a fictional deadly game of human chess.
    Officials at the Auschwitz Memorial have criticised the show, tweeting, “Auschwitz was full of horrible pain & suffering documented in the accounts of survivors. Inventing a fake game of human chess for @huntersonprime is not only a dangerous foolishness & caricature. It also welcomes future deniers. We honor the victims by preserving factual accuracy.”

    Creator David Weil, whose mother survived Auschwitz, has hit back at the idea scenes from the Holocaust should never be fictionalised for dramatic effect in a statement to Variety magazine.
    After citing his personal connection to the horrors of the Holocaust, and explaining how his team had deliberately chosen to avoid characters’ camp numbers corresponding to real victims, Weil addressed the controversy over the chess scene.
    “In speaking to the ‘chess match’ scene specifically… this is a fictionalized event,” he wrote. “Why did I feel this scene was important to script and place in series? To most powerfully counteract the revisionist narrative that whitewashes Nazi perpetration, by showcasing the most extreme – and representationally truthful – sadism and violence that the Nazis perpetrated against the Jews and other victims.”
    He went on to claim that he wanted to show a fictional atrocity, rather than a specific act that was perpetrated against real victims.
    Weil concluded by writing that he is “forever grateful to the Auschwitz Memorial for all of the important and vital work that they do” and added, “I believe we are very much on the same side and working toward the same goals.”

    'The Bachelor' Recap: Madison Gives Peter Weber 'Suite Ultimatum' Prior to Fantasy Suite Dates

    ABC

    The new episode of the ABC dating show sees the pilot and the three women, Madison, Hannah Ann and Victoria, heading to Australia where they will spend the Fantasy Suite week.
    Feb 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – It’s finally time for the fantasy suit for Peter Weber’s season of “The Bachelor”. However, before they got there, the Monday, February 24 episode of the ABC show began right where things were left off last week. After pulling him aside following the rose ceremony, Madison hinted to Peter that she’s saving herself for marriage.
    “Next week, if you were to sleep with somebody else, it would be really hard for me to move forward in this,” so she told Peter. That only made Peter confused and he replied, “I feel like that’s not fair to the [other] relationships [with Hannah Ann Sluss and Victoria Fuller] I have, but I don’t want to give you doubt in any way and make you feel like I think any less of what we have.”
    “In no way do I want to give you an ultimatum or tell you what you can and can’t do. I hope you know that,” Madison responded. “But for me, actions speak louder than words, and I’m just really big on that.”
    Later, Peter and the ladies went to Australia. The first date was between Peter and Hannah Ann. They opted to have some fun on jet skis. Peter and Hannah Ann then had a makeout session on the beach after he told her that he’s falling for her. They later decided to spend the night together in the fantasy suite.
    The next date went to Victoria. Peter tried to clear things out with her as Victoria insisted to him that she didn’t “ruin relationship” like his ex Merissa Pence claimed. They fortunately agreed to put the drama in the past and enjoy their helicopter ride.
    Later at night, Victoria opened up to Peter about how she was treated in a past relationship and that was why she found communication difficult. She got emotional because she was worried that she wasn’t giving Peter the answers he wanted. However, they later managed to talk it through and spent the night together in the fantasy suite.
    Meanwhile in the girls’ hotel room, Madison told Hannah Ann that she wouldn’t be happy if Peter slept with someone else. Hannah Ann didn’t say much but in her confessional, she admitted that she was “really thrown off” by that because Madison should have known “what [she] was coming into” by joining “The Bachelor”.
    Then it was time for a date with Madison. They climbed to the top of the talest building in the country. During the date, the two realized how much they’re in love with each other and at the night portion of the date, Madison revealed to Peter that she’s saving herself for marriage.
    Peter respected her. Madison then said that while she didn’t want to be judgemental, she wasn’t willing to compromise if he slept with one or both of the other women. When peter admitted that he was intimate during his other fantasy suite dates with the other women, Madison was upset and hurt.
    Peter and Madison cried together and he apologized as he didn’t want to lose Madision. It remains to be seen what would happen next as it will play out in the upcoming March 2 episode that will also feature the “Women Tell All” special.
