    by

    HBO

    The network shares a look at Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, Prince Daemon Targaryen, Lord Corlys Velaryon, a.k.a. The Sea Snake, as well as Otto Hightower and his daughter Alicent.

    May 6, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    HBO has offered a slew of first-look pictures of its upcoming show “House of the Dragon”. Shared on the show’s official Instagram account on Wednesday, May 5, the pictures feature Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Prince Daemon Targaryen which are played by Emma D’Arcy And Matt Smith respectively.

    In the photo, Emma’s Rhaehyra is standing in front of Matt’s Daemon. Both of them are seen donning Targaryen’s signature platinum blonde hair and royal gowns while having an intense meeting by the shore.

    In the official character description, Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, the first-born child of King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine), is depicted as a dragonrider and of pure Valyrian blood. “Many would say that Rhaenyra was born with everything… but she was not born a man,” reads the description. Meanwhile, Daemon Targaryen, the king’s younger brother and heir to the throne, is described as “a peerless warrior and a dragonrider” who “possesses the true blood of the dragon. But it is said that whenever a Targaryen is born, the gods toss a coin in the air.”

    The network also shares a look at Lord Corlys Velaryon, a.k.a. The Sea Snake, who is portrayed by Steve Toussaint. In the character’s first-look picture, he can be seen posing by the ocean. The Lord of House Velaryon is a Valyrian bloodline as old as House Targaryen. Known as the most famed nautical adventurer in the history of Westeros, he “built his house into a powerful seat that is even richer than the Lannisters and that claims the largest navy in the world.”

    Fans are also offered the look at the Hightowers. In the last photo that are shared by the network, Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans) is joined by his daughter Alicent (Olivia Cooke). Otto is Hand of the King who loyally and faithfully serves both Viserys and his realm. “As the Hand sees it, the greatest threat to the realm is the king’s brother, Daemon, and his position as heir to the throne,” the official character description reads.

    As for Alicent, she is depicted as a “comely woman in the Seven Kingdoms. She was raised in the Red Keep, close to the king and his innermost circle; she possesses both a courtly grace and a keen political acumen.”

    Based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood”, “House of Dragon” is set 300 years before the events of “Game of Thrones” and will follow the House Targaryen. Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan Condal are the “Game of Thrones” spin-off’s showrunners with Martin serving as executive producer.

    As the production started in April, “House of the Dragon” is set to arrive sometime in 2022.

      Pete Davidson 'Really Excited' for Elon Musk's 'SNL' Hosting Gig Despite Fellow Cast's Criticisms

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Trainwreck’ actor is looking forward to the upcoming episode which will see the Tesla boss as a host although some of his co-stars are seemingly not happy with the casting.

      May 6, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Funnyman Pete Davidson was so nervous during a recent phone chat with rap hero Eminem, he hung up as soon as he could.

      The “Trainwreck” star called the “Without Me” hitmaker after impersonating him on “Saturday Night Live”, hoping he hadn’t offended him in any way.

      “It went, I think, as good as it could go,” Davidson said during an appearance on “Late Night With Seth Meyers”. “Eminem said a couple nice things, like, about me. And I, of course, heard them and I reached out and I was like, ‘I would just like to say thank you.’ ”

      “I just hit him up and I said, ‘Thanks.’ And he was like, ‘Yeah, man you really did that’… I then hung up as quick as possible.”

      Pete also played down reports the “SNL” cast is upset about Elon Musk’s upcoming hosting stint on the sketch comedy show, insisting he can’t wait to meet the Tesla tech mogul.

      “I’m really excited, man,” Davidson said. “I’m gonna ask him for, like, a Tesla or some s**t… That guy’s a (genius). I don’t know why people are freaking out.”

      Musk will host Saturday’s (08May21) “SNL” with Miley Cyrus as the musical guest.

      Meanwhile, the tech mogul insisted everyone was nice to him at rehearsals although some of the cast members were seemingly not happy with his casting.

      “What the f**k does this even mean,” Bowen Yang previously responded to news that Elon Musk was coming to “SNL”. Andrew Dismukes also questioned the decision to hire the businessman. “Only CEO I wanna do sketch with is Cher-E Oteri,” he wrote, referring to former “SNL” star Cher-E Oteri.

      Aidy Bryant, meanwhile, shared a tweet by Bernie Sanders which read, “The 50 wealthiest people in America today own more wealth than the bottom half of our people.” She added, “Let me repeat that, because it is almost too absurd to believe: the 50 wealthiest people in this country own more wealth than some 165 MILLION Americans. That is a moral obscenity. (sic)”

      Elon Musk Plays Down Rumors of 'SNL' Cast's Uproar Over His Hosting Gig

      by

      WENN/Brian To

      When asked how rehearsals with the stars of the NBC sketch show have been going in light of the alleged protest, the Tesla CEO says it’s all ‘much ado about nothing.’

      May 5, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Elon Musk is unfazed by reports of “Saturday Night Live” cast’s uproar over his hosting gig. Days ahead of his debut as a host on the NBC variety series, the business magnate plays down the rumors, alluding that people just make a big deal of fuss over nothing.

      The billionaire makes the comment when asked by Page Six how rehearsals have been going in light of the hubbub and speculation. He says it was all “much ado about nothing.” When quizzed again if everyone is being friendly and willing to work with him, he gives a simple and affirmative answer with, “Yes.”

      The rumors that “SNL” cast is upset by the hiring of Elon as a host for the upcoming episode of the sketch series first emerged after some of the show’s regular players reacted to the Tesla CEO’s tweet. “Let’s find out just how live ‘Saturday Night Live’ really is,” the SpaceX chief designer tweeted in late April.

      “What the f**k does this even mean,” Bowen Yang then posted on his Instagram Story alongside a screenshot of Musk’s tweet. Andrew Dismukes also questioned the decision to hire the businessman. “Only CEO I wanna do sketch with is Cher-E Oteri,” he wrote, referencing to former “SNL” star Cher-E Oteri.

That is a moral obscenity. (sic)”

      Their posts have since been deleted, but a source told Page Six that the upset cast members won’t appear in a sketch with Elon. “Speaking historically, if a cast member has been that unhappy, they don’t have to do it,” the source said. “[‘SNL’ boss Lorne Michaels] won’t ever make them do anything they don’t want to do.”

      Elon Musk asked for skit ideas for his upcoming hosting gig on ‘SNL’.

      Meanwhile, Elon continues preparing for his hosting gig as he asked for skit ideas on Twitter on Saturday, May 1. “Throwing out some skit ideas for SNL. What should I do?” he asked his followers, before coming up with some of his own.

      Conan O'Brien Unveils June End Date for His TBS Late-Night Show

      by

      TBS

      When offering more details about his departure from ‘CONAN’, the host assures that the final episode will feature clips of his favorite moments from the last 11 years, as well as special guests.

      May 5, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Conan O’Brien has revealed the end date of “CONAN”. More than four months after announcing his departure from the long-running TBS late-night show, the host unveiled that it will end its run in June.

      The 58-year-old spilled the date in the Monday, May 3 episode of the self-titled show. “As some of you have heard, it’s been out there for a while now, but we’re making it official. We are winding down our TBS show. The plan is to re-emerge on HBO Max sometime in the near future with, I think, what will be my fourth iteration of a program. Imagine a cooking show with puppets and you’ll have the wrong idea,” he first shared.

      “Our last episode here at TBS will be on June 24th. Now the plan is we’re going to be showing a lot of clips of his favorite moments from the last 11 years,” the comedian further divulged. “We’re going to have some special guests. We’re going to create, I think, a really fun, special environment and it’s going to be, I think, a lot of fun.”

      Conan also spilled the reason why he left “CONAN”. He explained, “A very old Buddhist monk once told me that to pick something up, you must first put something down. I’ll be honest with you, he was drunk out of his skull and very belligerent. And I maintain you can pick up two things if you use both hands. He just got mad and started swinging at me, so I ended the conversation and took his advice.”

      Before ending his message, Conan said, “I just want to point out that for 11 years, the people at Turner have been absolutely lovely to me and everyone here at the staff. They gave me a home when I needed one most and I am eternally grateful and very proud of what we’ve accomplished here.” He added, “And so, what I’d like is, I’d like these last couple of weeks to be a fond look back at all the absurd madness my team and I have concocted.”

      The TV personality then joked, “Best of all, I want to point out, there will be shockingly few, if any, references to Donald Trump because that’s always been my favorite kind of comedy.”

      Conan confirmed his exit back in November 2020. He first joined the late-night circuit in 1993, taking over from David Letterman as the host of “Late Night”. He then launched “CONAN” on TBS in 2010.

      Chelsea Houska Offers This Reason for Departure From 'Teen Mom 2'

      by

      Instagram

      The reality star, who exited the show after 10 seasons, claims she is ‘worried’ her 11-year-old daughter Aubree ‘can’t tell me things because it’s going to be aired to millions of people.’

      May 5, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Chelsea Houska has finally unveiled the reason for her departure from “Teen Mom 2”. Having exited the show after 10 seasons, the reality star divulged that she took the decision to protect her children’s privacy, especially her 11-year-old daughter Aubree.

      The 29-year-old made the revelation in an interview with E! News. “There just came a point – and I think it was a buildup almost – this feeling in my gut, or my heart, I guess. It just didn’t feel like I was supposed to be on that show anymore,” she first spilled.

      “There were conversations that Aubree and I were having from time to time,” Chelsea went on noting. “And there came a point where I was just worried because I don’t want her to ever be like, she can’t tell me things because it’s going to be aired to millions of people or whatever.”

        See also…

      “When she was little, the stuff that was going on with her dad and stuff, it was from my point of view, and as she got older, it started coming from her point of view. I think that deserves to be private for her,” the mother of four continued. “That was ultimately what kind of pushed me to decide to step away and leave that chapter of life.”

      When asked whether she would ever consider returning to TV, Chelsea replied, “I always say that I would never go back to anything that’s about my kids’ personal life for sure.” She then added, “I don’t think I could do that. If something happened to be light-hearted and fun, I don’t think I would say no.”

      Chelsea announced her departure from “Teen Mom 2” back in November 2020. Sharing a family portrait on Instagram, she declared, “MTV’s Teen Mom 2 has been a big part of my life for almost 11 years. After much thought and discussion with my family and friends, Cole and I have decided that this season will be our last.”

      “We are forever thankful to MTV and our crew, who are like family to us. We’re parting on the best of terms and will stay in touch long after this. We’re proud to have been able to share our story and are so grateful to the fans who have followed our journey from the beginning,” the wife of Cole DeBoer further noted. “Our next chapter in life will focus on developing our brand and taking things to the next level with new endeavors and expanding family businesses.”

      Tom Cavanagh and Carlos Valdes Bid Farewell to 'The Flash' After Seven Seasons

      by

      The CW

      The original stars of The CW series will not be returning for an eighth season while fellow castmates Candice Patton and Danielle Panabaker are negotiating new deals.

      May 5, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Original “The Flash” castmates Tom Cavanagh and Carlos Valdes have exited the show ahead of its eighth season.

      Cavanagh, who played Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash and Harrison Wells on the long-running show, was slated to end his tenure as a series regular at the end of season seven, according to Deadline, but the pandemic forced him to quit the show before filming his swansong episode, and Valdes, who plays Cisco Ramon, will end his run with an appearance in the season seven finale.

      “Tom and Carlos have been an integral part of our show for seven seasons, and will be greatly missed,” “The Flash” executive producer and showrunner Eric Wallace said in a statement to Deadline. “Both are incredible talents who created beloved characters that fans and audiences around the world have come to love, which is why we are happily keeping the door open for return appearances.”

      Among their fellow original castmates, Grant Gustin is contracted to return as Barry Allen/The Flash for season eight, while Candice Patton and Danielle Panabaker are negotiating new deals.

      Cavanagh himself seemed to have hinted at his exit back in February 2020. At the time, he put out a reflective post about his time with the series. “It has been a joy creating and playing the myriad Wells that make up ‘Wells st’ on #theFlash,” he captioned his post.

      “At times brusque, sunny, capricious, and perpetually shameless, they will always be linked by a single unbreakable thread of gratitude,” the 57-year-old continued sharing his thought. “My thanks to everyone on all sides of the screen that makes up this wee superhero show of ours. ”
