    AceShowbiz –
    Latin superstar Gloria Estefan is heading back to the big screen to join her pal Andy Garcia in the planned remake of “Father of the Bride”.

    The Warner Bros. reboot is set to revolve around a Cuban-American family, and now Estefan has been added to the cast, which features Garcia as the titular character and “Pacific Rim: Uprising” star Adria Arjona as his daughter, the bride, reports Deadline.

    Estefan, who will play Garcia’s wife, jumped at the opportunity to join the bridal party for the project, which will be directed by Gaz Alazraki.

    In a statement, she said, “A resounding yes was my answer to the invitation to join my good friend, the incredibly talented Andy Garcia, for this new and wonderfully warm and funny incarnation of the classic, Father of the Bride!”

    The singer added, “I’ve been a fan of director, Gaz Alazraki, since I saw his record breaking comedy, Nosotros Los Nobles and can’t wait to experience how he brings this amazing script by Matt Lopez to life.”

    “Father of the Bride” previously hit screens in 1950 when Spencer Tracey and Elizabeth Taylor led the cast while Steve Martin and Kimberly Williams-Paisley took over the roles as father and daughter in the popular 1991 release.

    Estefan most recently tested her acting skills with a guest role on the revamped TV comedy series “One Day at a Time” while her previous movie credits include Wes Craven’s 1999 drama “Music of the Heart”, and 2017 comedy “A Change of Heart”, directed by Kenny Ortega.

      Gloria Estefan Explains Importance of Talking About Daughter's Coming Out Story in New Show

      Facebook Watch

      The ‘Turn The Beat Around’ hitmaker will co-host ‘Red Table Talk: The Estefans’, a spin-off from Jada Pinkett Smith’s Facebook Watch series, with singer daughter Emily Estefan and her niece Lili.
      Oct 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Gloria Estefan wants to break taboos in the Latin community with her new talk show, and she’s starting with her daughter’s coming out story in an upcoming episode.
      The superstar is about to launch “Red Table Talk: The Estefans”, a spin-off from Jada Pinkett Smith’s Facebook Watch series, which she will co-host with singer Emily Estefan and her niece Lili Estefan. And she hopes to help her community by tackling issues not often talked about – like sexuality.
      “Emily came out three years ago,” Gloria told “The Talk” on Tuesday, October 6, “and no one knows because we really never had the reason or opportunity to talk about how we dealt with it as a family.”
      “It was important for her (Emily) to talk about it (on the new show) and it was important for us to put it on the table. We share so much of our personal lives and private lives through (social media) that we wanted to use it in a good way, a healing way.”

      The “Turn The Beat Around” hitmaker notes the chat in question “got a little heated here and there” and her niece even had to be “kind of the referee”.
      “It’s important,” she adds, “because some people are going through these types of things. We hope to at least get it out there and speak about it, especially in the Latin community. So many things are taboo – like everything is taboo. My mother never even kissed my father ’til they were married by the church.”
      “Red Table Talk: The Estefans” launches on Wednesday, October 7.

      The ‘Hamilton’ creator and the ‘Conga’ hitmaker have been confirmed to take part in the upcoming star-studded charity event ‘Viva Broadway! Hear Our Voices’.
      Aug 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lin-Manuel Miranda and Gloria Estefan are among the top acts gathering to celebrate Latinos in theatre at “Viva Broadway! Hear Our Voices”.
      West Side Story legend Chita Rivera and Mexican pop icon Thalia, who produced 2018 play “Summer: The Donna Summer Musical”, are also booked as headline acts for the upcoming digital benefit concert.
      Bosses behind the show, to be directed and choreographed by Sergio Trujillo, aim to celebrate the history and achievements of Latino theatre stars while also focusing on Hispanic representation, inclusion and diversity.
      “It’s going to celebrate the past,” Sergio tells the Associated Press of the show. “It’s going to pay attention to the present and look to the future.”
      The online event will also feature snapshots of Broadway-bound musicals and plays from Latin stars, including a peek at John Leguizamo’s latest work, “Kiss My Aztec”.
      Andrea Burns, star of 2005 Tony Award-winning Latinx musical “In the Heights”, will host “Viva Broadway! Hear Our Voices.”
      The concert will be broadcast on Playbill.com, Playbill’s YouTube Channel, and on The Broadway League’s Viva.Broadway website on 1 October (20), with proceeds from the function benefitting the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and Broadway Bridges charities.

      Gloria Estefan Uses 'Safe Word' for Fear of Revealing Too Much in Upcoming Family Talk Show

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Conga’ hitmaker and her family have come up with a ‘safe word’ for their upcoming ‘Red Table Talk’ series to stop a conversation if it gets too close for comfort.
      Aug 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Gloria Estefan, her daughter, and niece have agreed on a safe word to stop them revealing too much on their new Facebook Watch series.
      The three women will front the new family talk show – a spin-off from Jada Pinkett Smith’s “Red Table Talk” hit – and Gloria reveals they had to come up with a word or phrase they could use to end a conversation if it gets too close for comfort.
      The pop superstar says, “There’s a secret word – ‘pineapple’ – and we’re supposed to shut up, because when we start talking, we start talking. We wanna leave it natural and fresh… so we’ve chosen the themes… and I don’t think we’ve said, ‘No, we’re not gonna go there!’ We just talk for two hours and then the editors are the poor things that have to synthesise this down to a length that people can watch.”
      “We’re gonna be free and talk about everything… We’re gonna be raw, just like Jada.”
      The first eight episodes of “Red Table Talk: The Estefans”, which will feature Gloria’s daughter Emily and her niece Lili, will debut later this year.
