      Hugh Grant Blames Prostitute Arrest on Atrocious Performance in 'Nine Months'

      by

      WENN/Instar

      The ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ star reflects on his infamous past, during which he was caught engaging in a sex act with Divine Brown in a parked car, when speaking on Marc Maron’s podcast.

      Mar 13, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Hugh Grant’s disappointment at his performance in romantic comedy “Nine Months” drove him to infamously hook up with a prostitute.
      The “Four Weddings and a Funeral” star was arrested in Los Angeles in 1995 after he was caught in a parked car engaging in a sex act with Divine Brown, and he admits the poor decision was prompted by his dismay at the quality of his work following a preview of the film.
      Speaking on the “WTF with Marc Maron” podcast, he said, “I was about to launch my first Hollywood film – my timing was impeccable. My problem was – that was my first Hollywood film and I’d just been to see it.”
      “The film was about to come out a week or two after that, and I had a bad feeling about it. I went to see a screening. Everyone in it was brilliant, but I was so atrocious that I was not in a good frame of mind…”
      Hugh drowned his sorrows at lunch and explained, “One thing led to another. I just was disappointed in myself. I don’t know what was going on.”

      However, Hugh’s concerns about his performance in the movie – which also starred Julianne Moore, Robin Williams and Jeff Goldblum – didn’t appear to hurt its box office success, going on to bank $138.5 million (£99 million) worldwide.
      “The film did alright at the box office, in fact I think it did quite well, and that’s all Hollywood really cares about,” he shrugged. “They don’t care what you get up to so long as you make them money.”
      Hugh pleaded no contest to the criminal charge and was forced to pay a fine, while he was also placed on two years’ summary probation and ordered to complete an AIDS education program.
      At the time of the incident, Hugh had been dating Elizabeth Hurley, who stayed with him throughout the ordeal. They eventually separated five years later, although they remain close friends to this day.

      'The Batman': Robert Pattinson Is Allegedly Difficult to Work With, Appears Intoxicated on Set

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The ‘High Life’ actor is accused of continuously bringing troubles during production of the Matt Reeves-directed movie with his alleged behavior and hook-up with his co-star Zoe Kravitz.

      Mar 13, 2021
      AceShowbiz – It’s been no secret that the production of “The Batman” has faced a setback in the past due to Robert Pattinson’s COVID-19 diagnosis. And while the actor has been back working on the Matt Reeves-directed pic, he is now reported to be bringing more troubles on the set.
      The British stud is reportedly a pain to work with and often showing up drunk on the set. But as noted by YouTube personality and entertainment scooper Doomcock who reported Pattinson’s alleged behavior, this unverified story should be taken “with many grains of salt.”
      According to Doomcock’s source, the Cedric Diggory of “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” is difficult to get to the set and when he actually is there, his usual appearance is intoxicated. His alleged drinking behavior reportedly caused a major rift between between all factions of the production as they are way behind schedule.
      It’s said that Warner Bros. has added more pressure on Reeves “to get it done” and there was purportedly a Zoom meeting between the director and Warner Bros. executives that ended up in a shouting match. Not letting it out of control, WB is said to be sending over reps to help Reeves handle Pattinson and any other issues that may arise.

      Moreover, the 34-year-old actor is reported to be having a fling with his co-star Zoe Kravitz. The source claims the two stars had a passionate rendezvous on the hood of the Batmobile and this allegedly has led to the Catwoman depicter being pregnant.
      The hookup allegation was first brought forward by imageboard website 4chan, which said that the report came from a source on the set. The source claimed that he, along with Reeves and a few workers, caught Pattinson and Kravitz in the middle of their support tryst, and Reeves was so mad that he interrupted the act.
      The filmmaker then allegedly told Pattinson in a rage, “You are the most entitled narcissistic actor I’ve ever worked with, you go back to work, we finish filming in March and then we are done. I don’t want to ever work with you after this film.”
      The source additionally said that Pattinson and Kravitz’s passionate relationship has been going on since October 2020, two months before she filed for divorce from her husband Karl Gusman after 19 months of marriage.
      Neither the actor’s camp nor Warner Bros. has addressed the rumors of his supposed behavior on set. The movie, meanwhile, is scheduled to open in U.S. theaters on March 4, 2022.

      Joe Manganiello Annoyed as 'Deathstroke' Is Not Seen as Priority After Numerous Setbacks

      by

      Twitter

      The former ‘True Blood’ actor has been left frustrated by multiple delays in the Warner Brothers attempt to bring DC Comics supervillain Slade Wilson the big screen.

      Mar 13, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Joe Manganiello has been left frustrated over his struggle to play DC Comics supervillain Deathstroke on the big screen after having project after project cancelled.
      The actor is set to appear in the role as the DC Extended Universe villain and his alter ego Slade Wilson in “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”, but revealed his exasperation that previous attempts to fit the character into the universe – such as in the “Suicide Squad” sequel – never materialised.
      Joe explained, “There were like, four or five different versions of Suicide Squad 2 that I was put on hold for.”
      “(We were) waiting for one actor to free up and we were gonna go. That happened like, four or five times and never came to fruition… There was a Zak Penn script; then there was the Gavin (O’Connor) version; there was a version with Will Smith, without Will Smith; there was just me and Will Smith. It just went on and on.”

        See also…

      The “Magic Mike” star also revealed that a planned origin project that he had written for Deathstroke was cancelled by Warner Bros. bosses, as he made a sarcastic reference to the acclaimed Todd Phillips film “Joker”, which won Joaquin Phoenix an Oscar at last year’s (20) ceremony.
      Joe told the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, “It was not seen as a priority to make a $40 million movie about a villain origin story in which you show the backstory. That would never work! That would never make a billion dollars and get someone an Oscar. Never!”
      Deathstroke will appear with a different haircut in “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”, which premieres on U.S. streaming service HBO Max next week (18Mar21), and Joe revealed that he came up with the idea to shave the supervillain’s head and leave him with a white mohawk.
      Joe said, “Part of living with the character for four years, thinking maybe around the next bend you’re gonna get to play him, you can’t help but percolate.”
      “In the treatment I wrote, the standalone, at the end of the film, I always envisioned him shaving his head into some kind of war-like, almost borderline suicide mission (style). I explained that to Zack and he said, ‘Great, let’s do it.’ ”

      Ryan Coogler Finds It Incredibly Hard to Make 'Black Panther 2' Without Chadwick Boseman

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Creed’ directors says developing the sequel to ‘Black Panther’ without the late T’Challa depicter is ‘the hardest thing’ he’s had to do as he returns behind the lens for the second installment.

      Mar 12, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Ryan Coogler has admitted making the “Black Panther” sequel without Chadwick Boseman is the “hardest thing.”
      The 34-year-old director is working on a follow-up to the 2018 Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film but admits that he is still trying to come to terms with the loss of lead actor Chadwick, who passed away last August aged 43 after a private cancer battle.
      Ryan said, “I’m still currently going through it.”
      “One thing that I’ve learned in my short time on this Earth is that it’s very difficult to have perspective on something while you’re going through it. This is one of the more profound things that I’ve gone through in my life, having to be a part of keeping this project going without this particular person who is like the glue who held it together.”
      The “Creed” filmmaker explained that he has been trying to find a “balance” between his personal and professional life since Chadwick’s passing.

      Ryan told the “Jemele Hill Is Unbothered” podcast, “That said, you have a professional life, you’ve got a personal life. Personal life, I’m going to say when you work in something that you love, those things blend, they come together.”
      “I’m trying to find a work-life balance. But I’m not there yet, so this is without question the hardest thing I’ve had to do in my professional life.”
      Ryan explained that, while the loss of Chadwick “stings,” it has left him “incredibly motivated” that he got to spend time with the “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” star.
      He said, “This one hurts and stings, but it’s also incredibly motivating.”
      “I’m incredibly sad to lose him but I’m also incredibly motivated that I got to spend time with him. You spend your life hearing about people like him. For this individual, who is an ancestor now, I was there for it. It’s such an incredible privilege that fills you up as much as it knocks you out.”

      Drew Barrymore Calls Decision to Put Movie Making on Back Burner 'A No Brainer'

      by

      Instagram

      While she wants to focus on being a mother to her two daughters, the ‘Drew Barrymore Show’ host does admit that her hit Netflix series, ‘Santa Clarita Diet’, really saved her.

      Mar 11, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Drew Barrymore is following best pal Cameron Diaz’s lead and stepping away from film cameras. The actress-turned-talk show host admits she has no interest in making another film right now, because it would take her away from the job she loves best – mum.
      “I don’t want to be on a film set right now, but that could change when my kids are older,” she told Andy Cohen on his Sirius XM show. “I stopped doing these [films] when my kids were born, because I’ve done it since I was in diapers – 11 months old is when I started.”
      “And it was a no brainer to me to put making movies on a back burner so that I could be present and raise my kids myself,” the 46-year-old actress continued explaining the reason behind her reluctance. “I didn’t want to be on a film set asking the nanny how the kids were. I was like, ‘That is not my journey.’ ”
      Drew admits not being a film actress has allowed her to do other things. “When you step away from it, it’s a lot less scary… I’ve started brands, I was able to write a book…,” she added, explaining her hit Netflix show, “Santa Clarita Diet”, came along at the perfect moment.

      “I was so knee deep into mothering my kids, I was like, ‘I don’t know who I am any more’,” she said. “I think I went way too far the opposite direction.”
      She added, “And if I can’t remember that I’m an individual with a skill set, I might die. So then I got to play this woman who gets to eat people and it was exactly how I felt. And it was just perfect and it was comedy and it was delicious and it was fun and it was irreverent and I couldn’t have loved it more. And it really saved me.”

      “The Drew Barrymore Show” host was married to art consultant Will Kopelman from 2012 to 2016. Together, the two share two daughters, 8-year-old Olive and 6-year-old Frankie.

      Disney+ Removes 'Dumbo', 'Peter Pan' and More From Kids Profiles Due to Racist Message

      by

      Walt Disney Pictures

      While kids under 7 are restricted to watch those moviews, regular accounts will still able to stream those titles with a content advisory message being presented ahead of the feature.

      Mar 11, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Disney+ has pulled out some animated movie classics from its Kids Profiles due to negative depictions. A new report suggests that kids are now unable to access some titles including “Dumbo”, “Peter Pan”, “The Aristocats” and “Swiss Family Robinson”.
      “Titles with a content advisory notice related to negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures have been excluded,” Disney+ confirms on its online help center. While kids under 7 are restricted to watch those moviews, regular accounts will still able to stream those titles with a content advisory message being presented ahead of the feature.
      “These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now,” the advisories read. “Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together.”

      In Disney+’s Stories Matter webpage, the company mentioned about Jim Crow, the leader of the group. He shares the name of laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States. In ‘The Song of the Roustabouts,’ faceless Black workers toil away to offensive lyrics like ‘When we get our pay, we throw our money all away,’ ” the site explains.
      As for “The Aristocats”, Disney+ explained that it was pulled from Kids Profile because “the cat is depicted as a racist caricature of East Asian peoples with exaggerated stereotypical traits such as slanted eyes and buck teeth.” “Peter Pan”, meanwhile, is considered giving negative message because “the film portrays Native people in a stereotypical manner that reflects neither the diversity of Native peoples nor their authentic cultural traditions.” The movie also saw Peter and the Lost Boys doing “a form of mockery and appropriation of Native peoples’ culture and imagery.”
      The site also notes that “Swiss Family Robinson” features “a stereotypical foreign menace.” The pirates, who had h top knot hairstyles, queues, robes and overdone facial make-up and jewelry, also “speak in an indecipherable language, presenting a singular and racist representation of Asian and Middle Eastern peoples.”
