    'Stranger Things' Brings Back This Character in First Teaser for Season 4

    Netflix

    The beloved character who many assumed dead at the end of the last season surprisingly make an appearance in the first teaser for the upcoming fourth season.
    Feb 15, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The brains behind “Stranger Things” have stunned fans of the Netflix show by revealing David Harbour’s character, Hopper, is still alive in the first trailer for season four.
    The beloved Indiana police chief was killed off in an explosion at the end of the last season, prompting devotees to slam the show’s creators, the Duffer Brothers, but they were given a glimmer of hope when Harbour demanded to know what had become of his character.

    During an appearance on U.S. show “Late Night With Seth Meyers” in October 2019, the actor said, “I always knew that Hopper had to make a sacrifice. He’s a jerk and he needs to pay for that in some way, so I thought he’d make the sacrifice and then the script came out and… at the end, (in) the post-credits scene there’s ‘the American’, and I’m like, ‘Oh, clearly I’m the American…!’ And then, I haven’t gotten many phone calls.”
    In a post-credits scene at the end of season three, Russian prison guards referred to one captive as “the American.”
    He then agreed to FaceTime the Duffer Brothers and ask them what their plans were.
    “I have a question…,” he said. “Am I dead? Is Hopper dead?”
    “I mean, we’re still figuring it out, David,” Ross Duffer responded.
    Harbour shot back, “You guys are a lot of help, thanks. Really wonderful work. Good luck with season four. Love you guys, love you, bye.”
    But now the Duffers have revealed Hopper’s character survived the blast, placing his character in Russia, working as a prison labourer on a railway line.
    Netflix dropped the first look at the highly-anticipated fourth season of “Stranger Things” on Friday, February 14, 2020.
    “We’re excited to officially confirm that production on Stranger Things 4 is now underway – and even more excited to announce the return of Hopper!” a statement from the Duffer Brothers reads. “Although it’s not all good news for our ‘American’; he is imprisoned far from home in the snowy wasteland of Kamchatka, where he will face dangers both human… and other. Back in the states, a new horror is beginning to surface, something long buried, something that connects everything.”
    “Season four is shaping up to be the biggest and most frightening season yet, and we cannot wait for everyone to see more. In the meantime – pray for the American… From Russia with love.”

    Every Singer Should Do 'The Masked Singer', Says Jake Shears After Elimination

    ITV

    The Scissor Sisters musician says singing incognito is not easy as he challenges all performers to hide their faces behind masks and compete on the singing contest.
    Feb 15, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jake Shears would like to see all performers take part in “The Masked Singer”, calling the show the “ultimate challenge.”
    The singer was unveiled as The Unicorn on the U.K. version of the franchise, which sees celebrities perform tunes in elaborate costumes in a bid to outsmart judges and viewers and win the title.
    Reflecting on the experience, the “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ ” hitmaker told Rolling Stone, “I think every performer should be required to do a season of Masked Singer.”
    “It’s the ultimate challenge: How do you manage to be entertaining while basically performing in what equals a diving suit from 100 years ago?” he explained. “It’s not easy. But it was a strange kind of thrill. Also, the fact that I got to sing “Babooshka” by Kate Bush on U.K. national television dressed as a flaming unicorn was the ultimate reward.”
    The Scissor Sisters star released his new single, “Meltdown”, on Friday, February 14, 2020, which is the first tune to be lifted from his upcoming disco-influenced album. After releasing his debut solo effort in 2018 with a more experimental feel, Jake said he’s ready to return to his trademark dance style.
    “It felt like a real plunge stepping out on my own,” he said. “That album was my dream of taking the theatrical rock facet of my musical style and tuning it into a fiercely personal concept record. Now, I’m ready to make some dance music again.”

    ‘Star Trek: Picard’: Old Friends Sit On the Park Bench Like Bookends

    Season 1, Episode 4: ‘Absolute Candor’I didn’t expect another episode of setup this week, but Jeri Ryan’s first appearance as Seven Of Nine at the end made the payoff worth it. Still, this was the first episode of the season that felt a bit extemporaneous, after the tight storytelling of the first three installments.Picard decides to take the expedition to find Bruce Maddox on a detour to the planet Vashti, a Romulan relocation site, where a group of what appears to be sword-wielding Romulan nuns called the Qowat Milat reside. An early flashback shows that Picard was a god of sorts here when he was leading the effort to rescue Romulans from the supernova.A few words on the Qowat Milat: This is a group of secretive female warriors who believe in complete and total transparency in all things. And somehow they are still Romulan, in spite of rejecting all of the traditional Romulan values. On one hand, I applaud the writers for finding new and novel ways to explore and flesh out a traditional Trek villain. And yet: A new bunch of Romulan warriors who totally eschew Romulan traits seemed a bit off to me, given the amount of interactions “Trek” heroes have had with Romulans over the years. (I’m torn on this: Romulans are also traditionally secretive so perhaps it makes sense that this discovery is relatively recent.)From the Department of Coincidences: The group Picard is fighting is the Tal Shiar sect, Zhat Vash, and the planet the Romulan warriors are on is Vashti. I’m wondering if this will come into play later.This episode also reveals one of the closest things Picard has ever had to a child, Elnor. Elnor (Evan Evagora) is angry at Picard for abandoning him 14 years ago, when the synthetics attacked Mars. Since then, he has become quite a warrior himself and is perceptive in realizing that one of Picard’s flaws is that if something is not happening right in front him, he is generally uninterested, as Raffi can attest to. Even so, Elnor joins Picard on the quest, but not before beheading a former Romulan senator who threatens him. (Yikes! “Trek” is rarely this dark! And is anyone going to mention that Elnor seems oddly similar to Elrond from “Lord of the Rings”? Was this intentional? I must know.)And of course, we have our first space battle in this episode, featuring Picard’s mode of transport, La Sirena. Side note: Was Jurati … very awkwardly flirting with Rios? For the love of all the Prophets, please give her something else to do. In the meantime, Rios — one of the best pilots in the galaxy, we are told — has some difficulty outmaneuvering an ancient Klingon Bird of Prey. That ship is purportedly being piloted by a pirate who has taken over the sector, although we never see said pirate. (This, of course, isn’t the first time a seemingly superior ship has trouble with an old Klingon ship. This is a “Trek” trope as old as time.)Over on the Borg cube, Narek and Soji are still doing their thing. The scene where they both slide down a hallway as a “Borg ritual” was something else. Again, I’m not sure where this is going, but Narek awkwardly interrogating Soji, post romantic-slide, should be the first example in the “what not to do” chapter of the Spy Handbook.What are we doing here guys? If you want to know why Soji wasn’t listed on a previous passenger manifest, at least put a ring on it first! Eventually, Rizzo shows up to seductively stroke her brother and then choke him. None of that is a typo, and I’m not entirely clear how she was able to do any of this, given that she is supposed to be a projection.I’m having some fun with this episode because I’m a fun guy. But I did find the scenes on Vashti fairly compelling, because I appreciate exploring new terrain and Patrick Stewart fencing with a child makes for an enjoyable visual. This episode, directed by the upcoming cast member Jonathan Frakes, just felt a little distracting to me. However, seeing Seven at the end was joyous.My assumption is that next week, we head to Freecloud with our favorite former Borg drone and we’ll learn what she has been up to. More

    Wendy Williams Apologizes for Telling Gay Men to Stop Wearing Skirts and Heels

    Instagram

    The ‘Wendy Williams Show’ host says in a new video that she didn’t mean to offend the LGBTQ+ community after her insensitive comments sparked backlash on the internet.
    Feb 15, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Wendy Williams regretted her insensitive remarks about gay men in the February 13 episode of her show. She told gay men to stop dressing up as women and, soon after it sparked outrage online, she apologized in a video message.
    “I’ll start by saying, I apologize,” she opened her video. “I did not mean to offend my LGBTQ+ community on yesterday’s show. I did not realize until I got home and I watched the second running of our show here in New York. And I always watch when I can to critique my delivery or, you know, the cameras, the lights, the audience.”
    “I’m very persnickety about how I do my show and one thing I can tell you right now is I never do the show in a place of malice,” she added. “I understand my platform with the community from first grade, to intermediate school, to high school, to college, to radio and now to TV. And I didn’t mean to hurt anybody’s feelings. I’m just having a conversation.”
    “I’m 55 years old, and maybe I sounded like your auntie, your mother, your big sister, or somebody out of touch. I’m not out of touch, except for perhaps yesterday by saying what I said,” she went on. “So I deeply apologize and I deeply appreciate the support that I get from the community. I will do better. I appreciate you supporting me. Thank you.”

    While talking about Valentine’s Day, Wendy previously said, “I don’t care if you’re gay. You don’t get a menses every 28 days. You can do a lot that we do, but I get offended by the idea that we go through something you will never go through.”
    “And stop wearing our skirts and our heels,” she added. “Looky here now, gay men, you’ll never be the women that we are. No matter how gay.”

    'Marriage Boot Camp': Michel'le Shockingly Claims Joseline Hernandez Is Her BF's Type

    WE tv

    That seemingly doesn’t sit well with the ‘Love and Hip Hop: Miami’ star’s boyfriend Balistic Beats, who later looks at Stew and says, ‘Me and you need to have a conversation.’
    Feb 14, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Michel’le and boyfriend Stew are trying to make their relationship work, but it will not be easy if one of them constantly compares themselves to others. Unfortunately, that was Michel’le was doing in the Thursday, February 13 episode of “Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition” in which she sent everyone into frenzy with a shocking claim about Joseline Hernandez.
    In the episode, Michel’le confidently revealed that the “Love & Hip Hop: Miami” cast member was more of her boyfriend’s type than she was. Not only others, the claim also surprised Joseline herself.
    That seemingly didn’t sit well with Joseline’s boyfriend Balistic Beats, who later told Stew, “Me and you need to have a conversation.” Stew also confronted his own girlfriend over her allegations in a private confessional. “Why on God’s green Earth would you say something as stupid as Joseline is your type?” she asked Michel’le. “She’s never met any of the women that I’ve dated, so to me, this illusion of a type is a figment of her own imagination.”
    Meanwhile, Dr. Ish and Judge Toler attempted to get the group back under control. Judge Toler looked at Michel’le before saying, “Everybody in here thinks that you are so way off on that.” However, Michel’le insisted that it was because Joseline was a beautiful woman unlike herself. That prompted Judge Toler to tell her, “I rarely say people are wrong, but you got that wrong.”
    That didn’t change Michel’le mind. She said that Stew loved beautiful women and she didn’t think she was belong to the category. Additionally, Stew is younger than her and seemed to be something that added to her insecurities about their relationship as she thought that everyone except her was his type.

    One other said, “Don’t trust [Tamra Judge]. I’m so glad she’s off the show she needs to focus and making her relationship better with her other kids. I would probably want Laurie, the old Gina, and heather back. Just to stir the pot.” A psyched fan wrote, “Yaaaassssss! I’ve been researching hardcore waiting for this announcement!”

    Kandi Burruss Weighs In on NeNe Leakes' Noticeable Absence on 'RHOA'

    Bravo TV

    ‘The Real Housewives of Potomac’ star Monique Samuels previously shared on Twitter that she couldn’t believe the lack of NeNe’s visibility this season, calling it ‘beyond ridiculous.’
    Feb 14, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Fans of NeNe Leakes have been voicing out their opinion on the lack of screentime that NeNe has in the current season 12 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”. Now, fellow cast member Kandi Burruss has responded to the outcry, addressing the matter in one of her YouTube videos.
    In the clip, Kandi could be heard saying, “NeNe was not in another episode.. one more time, let me say that correctly. That NeNe was not in yet another episode. what was going on? Bravo? truly original.” She continued, “Why the OG is not on the episode again? What is happening? What are you doing?”
    Kandi, however, revealed that she didn’t know what was happening between NeNe and Bravo. “I don’t know. I mean, clearly we don’t know each other’s business when it comes to contracts,” she explained. “I don’t know what she signed for, I don’t know how many episodes she’s supposed to be in or how much they pay her. I don’t know any of that.”
    “This is something that they had already understood going into the season,” she continued. “All I could tell you is we didn’t understand. I didn’t know that. I don’t know if any of the other girls on the show knew that.”

    Fans noticed NeNe was not in many episodes of the show so far. “Their definitely icing you off the show slowly but surely. no matter what you’ll always be the HBIC,” one fan wrote to NeNe, who was also absent in the season premiere.
    “The Real Housewives of Potomac” star Monique Samuels previously shared that she couldn’t believe the lack of NeNe’s visibility this season. AOL Entertainment managing editor Gibson Johns asked on Twitter, “Serious question: Has there ever been a full-time Housewife who has been featured *less* during a season than NeNe has been on this season of #RHOA? It’s becoming absurd how many full episodes she’s missing from entirely.” Monique replied to the tweet, “It’s getting beyond ridiculous.”
