      AceShowbiz – Justin Chambers’ exit from “Grey’s Anatomy” was explained in the show’s midseason premiere on Thursday, January 23, with the star’s departure fairly low-key.
      The actor, known for his role as Dr. Alex Karev, last featured in the 350th episode of the show, which aired in the U.S. in November (19) as part of the current season 16.

      However, he hasn’t filmed any episodes since, and his departure was confirmed in the show’s latest episode, as his character had returned home to care for his sick mother.
      As Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) visited Alex’s wife Jo Wilson Karev (Camilla Luddington) at their apartment and noticed that Alex wasn’t there, Jo explained, “He’s visiting his mom.”
      The 49-year-old previously revealed he’s “very excited” about the next chapter in his life, telling the New York Post’s gossip column Page Six he plans on taking things “one day at a time”, with ambitions to produce documentaries in the future.

      However, he’s first looking forward to enjoying “life, family, love and friendship”.

      Taraji P. Henson Confirms 'Empire' Spin-Off Is in the Works

      by

      NBC

      The Cookie Lyon depicter plays coy when asked in a television interview about the hip-hop drama spin-off rumors but she teases that ‘everything’s coming up roses.’
      Jan 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actress Taraji P. Henson has hinted her stint on “Empire” is far from over amid reports suggesting she has landed her own spin-off.
      The star portrays family matriarch Cookie Lyon on Lee Daniels’ hit hip-hop drama series, which is currently in the midst of its sixth and final season, but recent rumours have indicated Henson will continue playing her larger-than-life character in a new side project – and she isn’t denying the claims.
      Asked about the possibility of fronting her own Empire spin-off, she coyly told U.S. breakfast show “Today”, “I mean, it could be, I don’t know. Some things I can’t talk about.”
      Henson then tried to change the topic of conversation, looking over to a bunch of flowers on a table next to her and remarking, “Ooh, these are pretty. What is this?”
      But when guest presenter Maria Shriver remarked, “I think she just said something,” Henson tried to downplay her actions, insisting, “I didn’t say anything, I said the flowers are (pretty).”
      The Oscar nominee then dropped her biggest hint yet, adding, “I said everything’s coming up roses!” as she exaggerated a wink at the camera.
      “I didn’t say anything, I didn’t!” she quipped.
      [embedded content]
      Henson’s interview emerges weeks after Fox network boss Michael Thorn admitted the topic had been discussed with “Empire” creators Daniels and Danny Strong – although there were no firm plans.
      “We have talked about it but there has been no pitch, and there has been no deals,” Thorn said. “Would we like to keep Taraji on our air for as long as possible? Of course!”

      Gabrielle Union Fires Back at Terry Crews After He Refutes Her Racism Claims Against 'AGT'

      by

      NBC

      The ‘Being Mary Jane’ actress promises to soon share her side of the story since the ‘America’s Got Talent’ host has already spoken out before the investigation is completed.
      Jan 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Gabrielle Union reacted after Terry Crews threw her under the bus in his recent TV interview. He refuted the racism claims made by the “Being Mary Jane” actress following her departure from “America’s Got Talent”. He also wondered why she hadn’t released an official statement.
      In response, Union took to Twitter to explain to her followers that there was an investigation going on regarding the issues and she waited for it to be completed before speaking out. However, she promised to soon reveal her side of the story since the host of the NBC talent show had already shared his.
      The former “AGT” judge hinted that she’s going to take a page out of Crews’ book and go on television for an interview as well. “Maaaaaan… We all agreed to let the investigation be completed before speaking but if we doing this… ohhhhh baby let’s gooooooooooo!” she tweeted.
      She also wrote, “Truth telling, wanting change & having MULTIPLE witnesses who bravely came forward to let EVERYONE know I didn’t lie or exaggerate, really exposes those who enthusiastically will throw you under the bus, forgetting quickly who stepped up 4 THEIR truth.”
      She added, “Can someone please ask abt what happens to all that diversity folks are talking about BEHIND THE SCENES. Like, legit… where the hell is all that diversity in the production though homie? In the decision making ranks who control the fate of the diversity in front of the camera?”
      Crews previously addressed Union’s controversial exit on “3rd Hour of Today”. “First of all I can’t speak for sexism because I’m not a woman, but I can speak on behalf on any racism comments,” he said. “That was never my experience on ‘America’s Got Talent’, in fact, it was the most diverse place I have ever been in my 20 years of entertainment. The Top 10 acts were asian, women, older, younger, black, white, it was everything in the gamut.”
      He continued, “When you look at what the allegations were about, it was given by an unnamed source. My thing is – it’s funny because I believe you should listen to women, you should always believe women so I asked my wife what I should do. She was like, ‘first of all, if it’s coming from an unnamed source – because Gabrielle Union has not made any statement to this day about any of these allegations publicly – …if she hasn’t made a statement, why would you?’ ”
      While Terry Crews along with Julianne Hough and Heidi Klum spoke in favor of the Simon Cowell-produced show, former judges Howard Stern and Sharon Osbourne supported Gabrielle Union.
      Stern said it’s “obvious” that Cowell “sets it up that the men stay, no matter how ugly they are, no matter how old they are, no matter how fat they are, no matter how talentless they are” while constantly replacing “the hot chicks with hotter chicks and younger chicks.”
      Osbourne agreed the “AGT” was a boys’ club. “The boys take care of each other and the women are not paid as much as the men,” she said, adding that Howie Mandel was hired and offered a private plane while she would fly commercial to live auditions.

      Wendy Williams Denies Farting on Her Live Show

      by

      CBS

      The ‘Wendy Williams Show’ host insists she didn’t fart and her stagehand backs up her claim by saying the sound happened when they filled a fish tank for guest Dr. Kate Biberdorf.
      Jan 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Wendy Williams has hit back at claims she farted on live television, insisting she “would have been laughing” if she had.
      “The Wendy Williams Show” host went viral after fans became convinced they spotted the star passing gas while presenting her Hot Topics segment on January 17, 2020.
      However, on Thursday’s January 23 episode, Wendy addressed the speculation, playing the footage and telling the audience, “I have never farted once on this show. As a matter of fact, I barely fart, you know why? Because gas gets released several different ways and mine is belching, because all I do is talk.”
      “Let me tell you something right now, okay? I don’t lean over like this to release a fart, I lean over like this because it’s comfortable. If I sit (straight up) all the time, it’s heavy on my spine. I don’t have the back. I’m not trying to get the back. I like to release my hips and lean, you know what I’m saying?… I’ve been doing this for 11 years on this show!”
      She also told the crowd that had she let one rip, she wouldn’t have been able to conceal her amusement.
      “I would have definitely been laughing because farts are always funny. You know a girl like me would have been laughing at that!” she giggled.
      The star also made reference to the noise fans heard in the clip, adding, “By the sound of that fart, I would have had to go change my costume! I would have left a mark in the seat. I wouldn’t even save the costume, I would have thrown it away. It’d probably be soiled beyond soiled-tivity.”
      Stagehand John Anderson also weighed in on the controversy, explaining that the sound had happened while he and his team were setting up for a segment with scientific author Dr. Kate Biberdorf.

      “We were filling up a fish tank backstage and we didn’t have the proper hose. The air was just coming out and it was sputtering like someone was farting. Okay? So that’s what it was. It wasn’t Wendy!” he said.

      by

      CBS

      Fans are surprised to learn the revelation after watching viral behind-the-scenes footage of the popular ‘The Late Late Show’ segment as one Twitter user jokes, ‘It should be called Carpull Karaoke.’
      Jan 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – When it comes to “Carpool Karaoke”, people are naturally thinking that it was the fun times when James Corden is driving car around the city with stars joining them as they are singing inside the car. However, a new video that circulated online appeared to show that James wasn’t actually driving.
      The said video, which was shared by a Twitter user, offered a behind-the-scenes of the popular segment of “The Late Late Show with James Corden”. James was seen to be filming for an upcoming episode with Justin Bieber. However, the thing that caught fans’ attention the most was that James wasn’t actually driving as the car was being pulled by a truck.
      “Saw James Corden and Justin Bieber filming Carpool Karaoke and this is why I have trust issues–he isn’t even driving!” the Twitter user, @ZoliHonig, wrote on blue bird app. “Next thing you know they gonna tell us that his friends don’t *actually* need a ride,” he added.
      Fans were also surprised to learn the revelation after watching the footage. “It should be called Carpull Karaoke,” one user joked. “MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN A LIE,” another added.
      However, one person insisted that he saw James driving while filming other episodes. “Y’all when I saw One Direction filming Carpool Karaoke James was actually driving,” the person tweeted.
      James himself just laughed it off the speculations. Taking it to the official Twitter account of the late night account, the British host joked, “guys, we don’t even use a real car,” alongside a photo of him and Samuel L. Jackson filming CGI scene while holding a car steering wheel control.

      James Corden laughed off speculations that he didn’t drive on ‘Carpool Karaoke’.
      The show then set the records straight in a statement. “James always drives during ‘Carpool Karaoke,” the statement read. “However, on the rare occasion when there is a stunt component and the producers feel it is unsafe to drive, we will use a rig (tow).”

      'Power' Star Michael Rainey Gets '326 Death Threats' Amid Claims His Character Shot Ghost

      by

      Starz

      Naturi Naughton, who portrays his mother and Ghost’s wife Tasha, is among those who react to the revelation in the comment section of Michael’s recent Instagram post.
      Jan 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Some people apparently can’t separate fictional characters from real life actors. As hit Starz “Power” is coming to an end, fans of the series are getting wild and that includes to harass one of its cast members for allegedly killing their favorite character on the TV series.
      The leading man of the show James “Ghost” St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick) has been killed and people are eager to find out who was the culprit. Now, a leaked version of the ending shows that the one who shot the fan-favorite character was none other than James’ son Tariq, played by Michael Rainey Jr., because he had a serious vendetta against his father.
      In the clip Tariq could be seen telling Ghost, “I can’t go back,” to which the latter responded, “Hey, son, I love you, okay?” Tariq then pulled the trigger.
      That seemingly drove fans mad. Their strong attachment to the story appeared to make them think it was okay to harass the actor in real life as Michael took to his Instagram account to rant about the numerous death threats he’s been receiving over the plot of the TV show he’s starring on.
      Sharing on Instagram on Wednesday, January 22 a slew of pictures of him donning a confused expression, Michael wrote in the caption, “Me going through my dms tryna figure out why I have 326 death threat messages.”

      Naturi Naughton, who portrays his mother and Ghost’s wife Tasha, was among those who reacted to the revelation in the comment section. She apparently found that funny yet unnecessary as she left a couple of laughing and face-palming emojis. La La Anthony, who plays LaKeisha Grant on the show, also commented, putting some face-palming emojis.
      “Strange world we live in. SMH!!! It’s just a show people,” a fan wrote. Meanwhile, some fans praised him for his stunning performance on the series. “Cause you play the hell out of that Power role, my man.. keep shinning Bro!” one fan wrote.
      The final and sixth season of “Power” airs on Sundays at 8 P.M. ET.

      Terry Crews Praises 'AGT' as the 'Most Diverse Place' Amid Gabrielle Union's Controversial Firing

      by

      WENN/Nicky Nelson

      The host of the NBC talent competition show also shares on ‘3rd Hour of Today’ that he goes to his wife, Rebecca King-Crews, for advice regarding what he should do in the situation.
      Jan 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Terry Crews has weighed in on reports that former “America’s Got Talent” judge Gabrielle Union was effectively fired from the NBC competition show in November over sexism and racism issue. The show’s host addressed the issue while stopping by on “3rd Hour of Today” on Thursday, January 23.
      “First of all I can’t speak for sexism because I’m not a woman, but I can speak on behalf on any racism comments,” he said, noting that he never experienced any sort of racism while working on the show. “That was never my experience on ‘America’s Got Talent’, in fact, it was the most diverse place I have ever been in my 20 years of entertainment. The Top 10 acts were asian, women, older, younger, black, white, it was everything in the gamut.”
      Terry went on saying that the racism allegations were never publicly confirmed by Gabrielle and first emerged from an unnamed source. “Now I have to say this too. When you look at what the allegations were about, it was given by an unnamed source.”
      He also shared that he went to his wife, Rebecca King-Crews, for advice regarding what he should do in the situation. “It’s funny, because I believe you should listen to women, you should always believe women, so I asked my wife what I should do,” he explained. “She was like, first of all, if it’s coming from an unnamed source, because Gabrielle Union has not made any statement to this day about any of these allegations publicly.”
      Terry wasn’t the only one who claimed that they never experience bad things on the show. Heidi Klum, who served as a judge on the show for six years, recently shared that “everyone treats you with the utmost respect. I’ve never seen anything that was weird or hurtful.”
      “Six years I was there. I loved it. Of course, there’s always this cat and dog fight, but this is fun. … I mean also it’s like, ‘Everyone relax a little bit.’ For me, being on television, I want to entertain people. I want people to have a good time,” the former “Project Runway” host explained. “I want people to, like, get away from their life for two hours and just have fun and enjoy.”
      Meanwhile, Julianne Hough, who was also ousted at the same time as Gabrielle, revealed on “Today Show” back in December that she applauded Gabrielle for standing up for herself. “When I see that comment there that excites me so much because that is what we need to start conversations and I just commend Gabrielle for speaking her truth and starting a conversation,” she said.
      “And I’m really proud of NBC as well for showing up and starting a narrative and that’s what’s going to change the workplace and the paradigm that we’ve been working in for many, many years. It’s shifting and that’s really exciting,” she added.
      Following her firing, which reportedly was resulted from her rising concern about the “toxic” work environment, Gabrielle wrote on Twitter, “So many tears, so much gratitude. Just when you feel lost, adrift, alone … you got me up off the ground. Humbled and thankful, forever.”
      The actress later talked about workplace inequalities during a female empowerment and inclusivity panel back in mid December. “Don’t be the happy negro that does the bidding of the status quo because you’re afraid. Don’t allow them to call you angry when someone else is called passionate. It’s terrifying. There’s a solid chance you’ll lose your job … I speak from experience,” she shared.
