    Feb 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – In the Monday, February 10 episode of “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” season 2, the final 10 acts hit the stage in front of the judges to impress. The finals kicked off with an adorable performance from Alexa Lauenburger and her dog.
    Alesha Dixon and Howie Mandel loved it, but Simon Cowell thought that the performance was “nowhere near as good” as her last two performances. Heidi Klum, meanwhile, gave Alexa kudos for coming up with a new routine in just a week.
    The next performer was Duo Transcend which upped their game by doing everything blindfolded. Mary could be seen standing on Tyce’s shoulders and stepping off and that was when Tyce caught her. Simon applauded their thrilling performance, dubbing it the “best performance we’ve ever seen from these two.”

    Later, Angelina Jordan hit the stage to sing a gorgeous rendition of Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Heidi, who hit her Golden Buzzer for Angelina, raved about her performance. “I think you’re incredible,” she gushed.

    Following it up was Simon’s Golden Buzzer act Boogie Storm. The dance troupe appeared with another jaw-dropping performance to Jennifer Lopez’s “Let’s Get Loud”. However, Howie wasn’t entirely impressed. Meanwhile, The Silhouttes, who got Alesha’s Golden Buzzer, took the stage to offer a “beautiful” performance. “You’re not just here to win it, you’re here to change the world,” Howie added.

    Hans then returned to the stage to sing Jennifer Lopez’s “Let Get Loud”, which is Simon’s favorite song. Simon wasn’t a fan of the performance, saying, “This was a torture.” Violinist Tyler Butler Figueroa, on the other hand, opted to perform “Hallelujah” and everyone was awed.

    V. Unbeatable continued showing off their amazing skills as one young boy was tossed onto the bike in the air. Alesha shared that it was a “colorful explosion of pure brilliance.” Up next was Marcelito Pomoy, who came up with a performance of “Beauty & the Beast”.

    Concluding the night was Sandou Trio Russian Bar. Their performance included flips and walking on fire which surprised everyone. Heidi called it amazing as Alesha admitted, “My heart was in my mouth.”

    'Bachelor' Recap: Find Out Which 4 Ladies Earn Hometown Dates With Peter Weber

    ABC

    There are six women left on the show, but only four of them will get the chance to have hometown dates with the pilot in the upcoming episode of the ABC dating show.
    Feb 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Peter Weber’s season of “The Bachelor” returned on Monday, February 10. There were six women, Natasha Parker, Madison Prewett, Victoria Fuller, Kelley Flanagan, Hannah Ann Sluss and Kelsey Weir, left on the show, but only four of them got the chance to have hometown dates with the pilot in the next episode.
    Kicking off the new episode, Peter and the ladies went to Peru before he had his first one-on-one date with Madison. She convinced Peter that she was serious about having him in her future. Later during the dinner, she talked about how important family and faith is to her.
    Peter told her that he felt like his faith could be stronger sometimes, but insisted that it’s still something that was very important to him. He also said to Madison that his feelings for her were super clear. Eventually, Peter gave Madison a rose which she happily accepted. That meant, Madison was among those whose family would get to meet Peter next week.
    Next up for a one-on-one date was Natasha. She and Peter opted to explore a local town. Peter praised Natasha for being honest with him all season, though he wasn’t sure if they were at the level where he wanted to meet her family. Natasha insisted that she saw something special with him, but Peter didn’t feel the same way. At the end, he emilinated Natasha.
    The final solo date was between Peter and Kelsey in which they had a fun day riding ATVs. During the date, they talked about their plans for kids and the future. She also opened up to Peter that she didn’t have a good relationship with his dad and he wouldn’t be at home if Peter went to her hometown. Peter respected Kelsey’s honesty and she got a rose.
    Later, Hannah Ann, Kelley and Victoria enjoyed a three-on-one date. Peter had a chat with Hannah Ann first and she read him a list of reasons why she’s falling in love with Peter. Later with Kelley, she shared to Peter she was frustrated because she only got one on-on-one date. That prompted Peter to think if Hannah Ann was on the show just to have fun instead of searching for a husband.
    It was then time for a moment with Victoria, but it was a bit weird. Despite having doubts, Peter still gave the rose to Victoria. Also joining for the hometown dates was Hannah Ann, meaning that Kelley was sent home.

    WENN/Phil Lewis

    Director Bong Joon Ho has reportedly teamed up with fellow Oscar winner Adam McKay in developing a new five-to-six episode series which filming is expected to begin in 2021.
    Feb 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Mark Ruffalo has been tapped for a leading role in a new television spin-off of director Bong Joon Ho’s Oscar-winning film “Parasite”.
    “The Avengers” actor watched from the audience as the filmmaker pick up four trophies, including one for Best Picture, at the 92nd Academy Awards on Sunday (February 09) and now he’s in line to star in a TV series adaptation for HBO network, according to multiple reports.
    Sources tell Collider director Bong is teaming with Adam McKay on the new five-to-six episode series, and Ruffalo has emerged as a frontrunner to star as one of the leads, although the exact details of the character he’ll be playing have yet to be revealed.
    The filmmaker, who made history at the Oscars as “Parasite” became the first foreign language film to win the Best Picture trophy, recently opened up about some of the ideas he may include in the TV series adaptation.
    “I had all these key ideas accumulated from when I started writing the script,” he told TheWrap. “I just couldn’t include all those ideas in the two-hour running time of the film, so they’re all stored in my iPad and my goal with this limited series is to create a six-hour-long film.”
    The “Parasite” series is expected to begin filming in 2021.

    Gabrielle Union to Sue Simon Cowell for 'Endangering Her Life' on 'America's Got Talent' Set

    WENN/Instar/Avalon

    News of the reported plan comes out months after the ‘Bad Boys II’ actress got involved in a dispute with NBC and her fellow judge’s entertainment empire over her departure after only one season.
    Feb 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Gabrielle Union is reportedly planning to sue fellow “America’s Got Talent” judge Simon Cowell for “endangering her life” by smoking on the set of the NBC talent show.
    The “Bad Boys 2” actress was fired from the show’s panel of judges in November (19) after just one season, amid reports suggesting her departure was linked to concerns she had raised about a number of controversial incidents which took place behind the scenes, creating a “toxic” work atmosphere.
    An investigation into the complaint is currently ongoing but, according to Britain’s Mail on Sunday newspaper, Union has settled her dispute with the network and Syco, Cowell’s entertainment empire, over her departure – and is now planning to personally sue the mogul himself.
    A source said: “Gabrielle was always cross that Simon would smoke when the cameras weren’t running.”
    “For her, this is a big deal. She believes his smoking has put her life in danger. It can cause cancer and she doesn’t think she deserves to have been at risk when she was at work. This lawsuit will be sent to Simon at any moment. She is determined to see this one through.”
    California has strict anti-smoking laws, banning employers from “knowingly or intentionally permitting… the smoking of tobacco products in an enclosed place of employment.”
    Cowell is renowned for his smoking habit and has struggled to quit, after admitting to smoking up to 80 cigarettes a day in the past.

    Pete Davidson Transforms Into The Queen on 'SNL'

    Instagram

    The ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ star dresses up in drag costume as he receives a dramatic makeover from the ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ judge on ‘Saturday Night Live’.
    Feb 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Pete Davidson was given a complete drag makeover by “Saturday Night Live” host RuPaul during this weekend’s February 8, 2020 instalment.
    As the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” judge took on presenting duties, show regular Davidson returned in his role as Chad – a lovable idiot who’s very agreeable and down for anything.
    In the pre-taped segment, RuPaul appeared as himself, and was seen posing for a photoshoot for the cover of Drag magazine as he lamented that the world of drag needs a new star.
    “Everyone take five!” RuPaul declares to the crew, turning to Chad. “Leave me, with the future of drag.”
    He tells Davidson’s character, “There’s something dynamic about you, boy! Have you ever done drag?”
    “Naw, just weed and pills,” Chad says with a shrug and a blank expression, before RuPaul begins the makeover.
    “Step one: The Tuck!” RuPaul explains, teaching him to disguise his bulge, before presenting Chad with a dress, fake breasts, and finally applying his make-up.
    Eventually, the “Skin Wars” host completes the full look, but Chad ends up walking away because he finds being a drag queen too much hard work.

    The “Saturday Night Live” social media pages also shared a time lapse video of Davidson’s full make-up session to transform Chad into his drag persona, The Queen.
