    ‘Judge Judy’ Will Rule Only in Reruns After Next Season

    For 24 seasons, “Judge” Judy Sheindlin has reigned as the stern, hallowed matriarch of what has become the most watched courtroom in daytime television.But this coming 25th season of “Judge Judy,” Ms. Sheindlin said, may very well be her last. In an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” airing on Monday, she said that CBS would be airing reruns after the coming season ends next year. She also raised the possibility that she would compete with “Judge Judy” with a new show.In a statement to The New York Times on Monday, Ms. Sheindlin suggested that her breakup with CBS was not necessarily a smooth one.“CBS has been a fine partner for 20-plus years,” Ms. Sheindlin, 77, said in a statement to The New York Times. “They have decided to monetize their ‘Judge Judy’ library of reruns. I wish them good luck with their experiment.”Ms. Sheindlin, a former criminal and family court judge in New York City, is the highest-paid television host in the country, reportedly earning $47 million a year. For the last 10 seasons, “Judge Judy” has been No. 1 in first-run syndication, according to CBS Television Distribution. In 2017, Ms. Sheindlin sold CBS the rights to her show’s library for a reported $95 million.It was unclear whether CBS, which declined to comment, had failed to agree on a new contract with Ms. Sheindlin, or if it simply decided it did not need more new episodes now that it owned the library.In her interview with Ms. DeGeneres, Ms. Sheindlin seemed to place the onus on CBS, with whom she said she has had a “successful” 25-year relationship.“CBS, I think, sort of felt they wanted to optimally utilize the repeats of my program, because now they have 25 years of reruns,” she said in a clip released by “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Monday morning.“But I’m not tired,” she added, “so ‘Judy Justice’ will be coming out a year later.”Ms. Sheindlin didn’t elaborate on where her new show would air, but she implied that it wouldn’t be on CBS. She is betting that, for her fans, there is no such thing as too much judicial Judy.“The following couple of years, you should be able to catch all the reruns that CBS has sold to the stations that are currently carrying ‘Judy,’” she said. “And ‘Judy Justice’ will be going elsewhere. Isn’t that fun?” More

    Report: Sky Days Suspended From 'Black Ink Crew' Following Drama With Son

    Instagram

    Sky lands in hot water after telling her son Des, ‘Your daddy don’t want you, I don’t want you. Nobody wants you!’ during a heated fight in the latest episode of the VH1 reality show.
    Mar 2, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Sky Days is allegedly facing the consequences of her hurtful words to her son Des. According to a new report, the “Black Ink Crew” star has been suspended from the VH1 reality show following the heated fight between her and Des in the latest episode of the show.
    It is said that producers didn’t really like the side of her that she showed in the Wednesday, February 26 episode, which earned her huge backlash from viewers. The criticism allegedly prompts the honchos to suspend Sky from show production.
    In the said episode, Sky could be seen accusing her younger son of stealing from her. However, Des denied ever taking anything. Sky apparently didn’t believe it and things got so intense that Sky declared, “I wanna beat this little boy’s a**!” To make things worse, she told him as he walked away, “Your daddy don’t want you, I don’t want you, nobody wants you!”
    Her comment was clearly hurting Des so bad that he broke down in tears later on, saying that he never asked to be born and meant to hurt Sky. He also didn’t understand why she hurt him like that. In the end, Des and Sky decided to part ways once again.
    Despite the backlash, Sky appeared not to be bothered by the hate comments. She even went on Instagram Live to defend herself over her hurtful words towards her son. “Y’all taking up for Des? That’s nice. That’s sweet. That n***a ain’t have no tears in his eyes, but that’s sweet. Listen, I said what I said, God gon’ deal with me,” she told her followers, not sounding the least bit remorseful.
    “Like, God thank you for everything you’ve done in my life and everything you gon’ do. You know, that was a hard day for me in November, you know? I’m pretty sure it was hard for him too. But it happened. Like what the f**k you want me to do? God is working on me day by day, son. And it is what it is,” she went on saying.

    'RHOA': Marc Daly and Kenya Moore Having Intense Moment Prior to Divorce

    Bravo

    During their joint charity event, which took place before they filed for divorce, Marc can be seen complaining to Kenya about how he feels that ‘RHOA’ and its cameras were being ‘invasive.’
    Mar 2, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The Sunday, March 1 episode of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” caught the moment leading up to the end of Kenya Moore and Marc Daly’s two-year marriage. The former couple could be seen having a heated argument towards the end of their joint charity event.
    During the event, Kenya asked Marc to come over and thanked her friends for attending the event. Marc, who shares daughter Brooklyn Doris Daly with the Bravo personality, looked less than thrilled to do so. Before he agreed, he asked Kenya to ask her security guard to “wait over on the side.” He told her, “It’s like he’s everywhere, hovering… It’s just so obnoxious.”
    Later, Marc could be seen in another room while complaining about Kenya and “RHOA.” “I hate it. I hate it. Everybody knows that,” Marc responded when someone asked him how was it like to be married to Kenya. “Save me from the drama.”
    “It’s invasive,” he later was seen telling Kenya of the cameras. Yelling at a producer to stop filming the party, Marc said, “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,” he added.

    Meanwhile, Kenya looked at the other happy couples before saying, “All of the couples seem to be happy, just enjoying each other so much, and I’m just really disappointed.” NeNe Leakes, who is feuding with Kenya, also noticed the lack of affection between the then-couple. “The few times that I’ve seen Kenya and Marc together, I’ve never seen them be lovey-dovey. It’s always like he’s standing over here and she’s standing over there. It’s almost like it’s an agreement,” she noted.
    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.

This film adaptation of the first three installments of the series follows the Baudelaires as they try to survive Olaf’s murderous machinations.

    'RHONJ' Star Teresa Giudice Is 'Embarrassed and Angry' Over Season Finale

    WENN/Instar

    In the finale, which aired on Wednesday, February 26, Melissa Gorga spilled the tea that Teresa encouraged Danielle Staub to pull Margaret Joseph’s hair during their fight at a boutique.
    Mar 2, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Teresa Giudice isn’t proud of what she did in the season 10 finale of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey”. According to a new report, the episode “was really hard for Teresa to watch” since she was revealed to be telling Danielle Staub to pull Margaret Joseph’s hair during their fight.
    A source continued telling HollywoodLife.com on Sunday, March 1, “She was really embarrassed and angry and is so ready to move on from this season and on to the next.” However, it didn’t make her want to exit the Bravo reality TV series.
    “In zero way is this making her not want to come back. She loves the show and the platform it gives her and has no plans to walk away despite the backlash she’s received from the episode,” added the insider. “She’s happy that her castmates have supported her since walking away from her friendship to Danielle.”
    The 47-year-old TV personality is allegedly “confident that she and Marge (Margaret) will eventually be fine again and she gets why she’s upset.” However, “Teresa is still done with Danielle. They spoke at the reunion and she has no plans to speak to her again anytime in the near future. She’s done.”
    In the finale, which aired on Wednesday, February 26, Melissa Gorga spilled the tea that Danielle told her that Teresa encouraged her to pull Margaret’s hair during their fight at a boutique. Upon knowing that, Margaret lashed out at Teresa, saying, “Why would you ever tell her to pull my hair? How sick is that? You f***ing love this girl so much that you’re gonna f***ing just let her hurt me? For what? For what? You’re a real f***ing a**hole. I’m like f***ing freaked out. This is your f***ing friend? This is who you wanna associate with?”
    After being blasted by Margaret, Teresa appeared to be pissed off because she knew that Bravo would most likely use this for storyline. “You guys are f**ing assholes. I’m going home!” she shouted after flipping one of the cameraman the bird and throwing her drink.
    Later, Teresa called Danielle and confronted her. “I didn’t agree with attacking someone. That was your f***ing decision, and then afterwards, what did I tell you afterwards? I’m so mad at myself. I don’t ever wanna hurt anybody again. It’s f***ed up. I’m not like that,” she told Danielle. She then decided to end her friendship with Danielle, saying, “I wish you all the best, I just don’t wanna be friends anymore. I had enough. Alright, bye,” before hanging up.

    Elisabeth Moss Would Give Up Her Salary to Have Meryl Streep on 'Handmaid's Tale'

    WENN/Avalon/Jaime Espinoza

    The ‘Invisible Man’ actress is desperate to have her idol guest star on her television series that she would ‘do anything’ including sacrificing her TV fee.
    Mar 2, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Actress Elisabeth Moss would sacrifice her TV salary on “The Handmaid’s Tale” to land Meryl Streep as a guest star.
    The 37 year old hasn’t been shy about expressing her admiration for her idol Streep as she promotes her new horror film “The Invisible Man”, and she is desperate to work with the three-time Oscar winner on her dystopian drama series, based on author Margaret Atwood’s seminal 1985 novel of the same name.
    “I would do anything,” gushed Moss, who also serves as an executive producer on “The Handmaid’s Tale”, which is filmed in Canada.
    “I would give up my salary, I would give up other actors’ salaries! They would too, they would be into it!” she laughed on U.S. daytime show “Strahan, Sara and Keke”. “We would pool (our funds), we would go, we would personally carry her to Canada!”
    However, Moss fears her obsession with Streep could land her at the receiving end of a protective order after naming the acting veteran as the person she would most like to spy on if she was invisible.
    “I’ve never met her. I walked by her on the street once,” she shared. “I’ve never worked with her, obviously. I am obsessed with her… She’s a legend…”
    “But I keep talking about her in interviews, and one of the big questions I get is, ‘What would you do if you were invisible?’ And I usually answer that I would watch Meryl Streep act up close, as a performer – not like, in her home or in her trailer, just watch her act. But I’m pretty convinced she’s gonna find out about this and have a restraining order against me!”
