  • 'Big Brothers All-Stars' Contestants Forced Into Quarantine After Testing Positive for COVID-19

    When promoting the new series, host Julie Chen admits that some of the people from seasons past she thought were definitely going in the house couldn’t go in because of coronavirus.
    Aug 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – A handful of U.S. “Big Brother All-Stars” have been kicked off the upcoming reality TV show after testing positive for COVID-19.
    Promoting the new series, which debuts on Wednesday (August 05), host Julie Chen reveals all the hopefuls were forced into quarantine after undergoing a battery of tests to make sure they were coronavirus-free – and some didn’t make it.
    “We flew in a bunch of people; more than 16,” she tells CBSN Los Angeles. “And some people I thought were definitely going in the house, they tested positive for COVID-19 so they couldn’t go in.”
    Chen reveals she’ll discover who the 16 finalists are when America finds out, “I don’t even know all the confirmed 16 Houseguests. I know it’s eight women and eight men, all-stars that we all know from seasons past.”

  • Katy Perry Says She Only Has 'Positive Takeaway' From Her Visit to 'Ellen'

    NBC Studios

    The ‘Smile’ singer comes to her friend Ellen DeGeneres’ defense amid multiple allegations that her television daytime talk show has become a toxic workplace.
    Aug 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Katy Perry has defended her “friend” Ellen DeGeneres following accusations she presided over a toxic workplace culture on her chat show.
    The presenter has been heavily criticised in recent weeks for allegedly turning a blind eye to staff members reporting misconduct, racism and sexual harassment – with some former fans even calling for her to be replaced.
    However, Katy leapt to her pal’s defence on Twitter, explaining to fans that the 62-year-old had always treated her with kindness.
    “I know I can’t speak for anyone else’s experience besides my own but I want to acknowledge that I have only ever had positive takeaways from my time with Ellen & on the @theellenshow,” Katy wrote. “I think we all have witnessed the light & continual fight for equality that she has brought to the world through her platform for decades. Sending you love & a hug, friend @TheEllenShow (heart emoji).”
    Current and former employees of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” have alleged that far from the kindness Ellen preaches on screen, behind the scenes the show has a toxic work environment.
    The allegations include ones of sexual misconduct against senior producers on the show.
    Ellen has spoken out about the controversy, and vowed to work with WarnerMedia chiefs to “correct the issues” raised, like claims of intimidation and racism.
    The star’s wife Portia de Rossi has also promised to “stand by” her spouse amid reports she may be replaced by late night host James Corden.

  • 'RHOA' Cast Members 'Roll Their Eyes' as NeNe Leakes Has Yet to Sign Season 13 Contract

    Bravo

    Even though the ladies on ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ are allegedly annoyed because of the matter, it is said that the cast, who has started filming, is ‘not surprised.’
    Aug 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Things have yet to be settled between Bravo and NeNe Leakes ahead of season 13 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”. The fact that NeNe is still in negotiations regarding the new season reportedly doesn’t sit well with other cast members.
    “The ladies are a little annoyed that NeNe hasn’t signed her contract yet. They feel she does this every year and puts herself on this pedestal and they just roll their eyes a bit over it,” a source close to production claims to HollywoodLife.com. Despite that, it is said that the cast, who has started filming, is “not surprised.”
    NeNe herself previously opened up about the state of the negotiations regarding her return to the upcoming season. “So, I’m still on holding pattern, let me start there. And also I’d be able to say that it’s not me, it’s them,” NeNe explained. “Every single season when it ends, or at least the last 3 or 4 seasons, I have been dealing with this-going back and forth.”
    Once again, the 52-year-old insisted that the whole process took so long because of the show’s production team. “I know a lot of people think it’s me. ‘NeNe holds out to the last minute,’ ‘NeNe holding out,’ that’s not NeNe. NeNe is not doing that,” she said, adding that “negotiation takes time.”
    The uncertainty surrounding NeNe’s return to the new season also sparked rumors that she’s been fired by the network. Her rep Steven Grossman denied them, saying that it was “absolutely not true that Nene has been fired from ‘RHOA’. Furthermore, it was made abundantly clear prior that she will always be welcome on the series as long as she wants to be. … Any speculation or sources trying to create controversy by stating otherwise are incredibly inaccurate. Bloop.”
    While NeNe’s status in season 13 remains uncertain, the new season will reportedly welcome two new faces, actress Drew Sidora and Canadian YouTube star LaToya Ali a.k.a. LaToya Forever. Drew will be the second actress to appear on the show after Kim Fields, who left the series after season 7 to prioritize her acting and directing career. Meanwhile, LaToya was first reported to join “RHOA” back in 2019.

    Aug 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “The Avengers” star Chris Hemsworth will be taking a deep dive to swim with sharks for a new National Geographic special.
    “Shark Beach” will follow the Australian actor as he embarks on a journey to understand the behaviour of the big fish amid increasing attacks on humans Down Under.
    He will get up close and personal with a variety of shark species, and consult with marine biologists, conservationists, and surfers in his homeland as he explores new technological advances designed to help humans and sharks co-exist.
    “I’ve spent a great deal of my life near or in the ocean, sharing the same backyard with sharks, and recently there’s been some growing concern regarding an increase in shark activity,” Hemsworth explains in a statement.
    “It’s crucial that we both revere and respect sharks. Our oceans depend on these apex predators for a biodiverse ecosystem; however, we must also learn how to protect ourselves, and that’s my main objective in Shark Beach.”
    The TV special will air next year (21) as part of the annual summer Sharkfest.
    Meanwhile, actress Sigourney Weaver will reunite with her “Aliens” and “Avatar” director James Cameron for another National Geographic project, this time focusing on whales.
    Weaver will narrate “Secrets of the Whales”, a four-part series executive produced by Cameron, which will shed light on the mammals’ way of life. The show will premiere worldwide on Earth Day next year, April 22, 2021.

    After current and former employees of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” came forward with racism, discrimination and toxic environment allegations, Internet users were trending #ReplaceEllen on Twitter.

I don’t know how you do it. We’re going to need all your sources.’ I’ve worked 18 years to build those sources. Those sources are why you hired me.”
    “He just went off on them,” she went on to say. “His whole face turned red…We were stunned. You could just see everybody’s faces go stiff. We’re professionals; we’re adults. We don’t need a dog to get us to do our jobs.” She also described her days working on the show as a “culture of fear.”

  • 'The Umbrella Academy' Stars Keen to Be Transported Back to the '80s for Season 3

    Netflix

    Tom Hopper and Robert Sheehan, who portray Luther and Klaus on the Netflix series, open up about their own ideas for future installments after season 2 is made available for viewing.
    Aug 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Tom Hopper and Robert Sheehan are keen to revisit the 1980s on season three of Netflix’s “The Umbrella Academy”.
    The two actors, who star as Luther and Klaus on the show – an adaptation of My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba’s graphic novel – spoke with GamesRadar about the future of the series.
    Sharing their own ideas for future instalments, Tom remarked, “You’re always talking about future seasons… You know, from season one, you’re always talking about where the show could go. I’d like to do the Eighties, actually.”
    Meanwhile, Robert added he’s keen to see the family getting transported back to “Medieval times” and, of course, the 1980s.
    “What if they went back to the day they were all born? Something in 1987,” Robert shared. “You know, the whole 20th century was contentious. I’m always hatching pipe dreams. Sending an email to Steve (Blackman, showrunner). That’s the fun part.”
    Tom continued, “I think there’s an element of assuming that the story continues until you’re told that it’s not going to continue. You’re always keeping it alive in your head as an actor because you don’t like to kill off a character until it’s kind of done. You’re always seeing where they could go or what could happen.”
    “The Umbrella Academy” season two is available on Netflix now.

    Tayshia allegedly is ‘game and ready to go,’ though it ‘remains to be seen is if more men will be brought in’ the upcoming season 16 of the hit ABC show.
    Aug 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Clare Crawley will no longer front “The Bachelorette” season 16. It is reported that Clare dropped out of the ABC dating show when she was only days into filming as she found love in one of her contestants. Now, Tayshia Adams allegedly steps in to take over her place in the upcoming season.
    “The producers have told her that the season will still lead with Clare and her short-lived journey, and will show Clare falling in love with one of her suitors,” an insider reveals to E! News. “Clare will then conclude her journey and announce that Tayshia is the lead.”
    Clare allegedly fell in love with one of the guys while the show’s production was delayed due to Coronavirus pandemic. “One of her potential guys found a way to get in touch with her and they began talking,” a source explains to PEOPLE.
    “By the time filming officially began, they were basically already in love. No one else stood a chance. It just became so obvious from her subsequent few dates that her heart wasn’t in it and she just wasn’t feeling it. Then she said she wanted out,” the source adds.
    As for Tayshia, the informant says that she’s “game and ready to go.” The insider goes on sharing, “What remains to be seen is if more men will be brought in now to give Tayshia a full roster of suitors.”
    The new season is also promised to be “the most dramatic season ever.” The insider teases, “There’s more to the story than just [Clare] falling for someone and not wanting to see what else could happen with other men.”
    In response to the news, former “The Bachelor” star Mykenna Dorn said, “If this is true then this will for sure be the most dramatic season EVER !! Guess we’ll all have to tune in to see how this one goes down. I hope both Clare and Tayshia leave happy and in love !!” Evan Bass also chimed in, saying, “The world: The Bachelor franchise is ridiculous you can’t find love in a month or 2! Clare: Hold my beer.”

    Stars reacted to Tayshia Adams replacing Clare Crawley on ‘The Bachelorette’.
    Meanwhile, ABC and Clare have yet to comment on the reports.
