    AceShowbiz – Todrick Hall, Janelle Monae, and Kim Petras are among the stars tapped to perform as part of HBO’s “Human by Orientation” virtual Pride Month series.
    The U.S. network has repurposed its famous acronym – Home Box Office – to “Human by Orientation”, in celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride, to debut its first-ever digital Pride event.
    The new website is described as “a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community and allies to gather, recharge, and spread joy – celebrating their queerest, proudest selves.”
    Fans can sign up and RSVP for free daily virtual events, from DJ sets to a drag brunch hosted by the cast of HBO’s “We’re Here” to queer comedy nights and more.
    Stars including Todrick, Janelle, Kim, and Cameron Esposito will also feature throughout the networks program of events.
    “Pride was, and is, a protest, originally led by black and brown trans women, fighting for all LGBTQIA+ people,” HBO bosses said in a press release. “It’s due to the activism of this oft overlooked community that Pride is the celebration we know today.”
    “Pride brings together the full spectrum of the queer family and it’s important-now more than ever-to stand in solidarity with those in need of support.”
    Events will remain ongoing through June 28. For more information, click here.

      The ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ star, who joined the competition show for its second season, admits he was not surprised by the axing after learning about social distancing guidelines for coronavirus.
      May 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Todrick Hall is confident his BBC TV show “The Greatest Dancer” will be back on air, after blaming the coronavirus crisis for its recent axing.
      The program, which also starred British pop star Cheryl Cole and former “Glee” actor Matthew Morrison on the judging panel, pitted dance hopefuls against each other as they competed for a grand prize of $62,000 (£50,000), and the chance to perform on U.K. TV talent show “Strictly Come Dancing”.
      However, after just 2.8 million viewers tuned in for the most recent finale – in which Michael and Jowita were crowned the champions – bosses at the BBC are said to have decided to pull the plug on the series.
      Speaking to the U.K.’s Daily Mail newspaper, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” star Todrick, who joined the show for its second season, insisted, “When I heard about all the social distancing I wasn’t surprised (it was cancelled).”
      “If the audience can’t be there it won’t work,” he explained. “It’s like ‘The Voice’ with no judges and spinning chairs.”
      However, the former “American Idol” contestant is hopeful for a comeback, adding, “I think there’s hope (it could return). We had a great time doing it – me and all the other captains loved it.”
      “That show gives people an awesome experience to be creative. The production value is one of the best I’ve seen. And I love that it was about the dancers – they weren’t in the background. Everything was awesome – the costumes, staging, props – all of it telling a story.”
