  • Simon Cowell to Miss 'Britain's Got Talent' Semi-Finals After COVID-19 Led to Change of Dates

    WENN

    It is still unclear if the music mogul will enlist one of his famous friends to stand in for him in person on the day, but his new filming schedules clash with those of ‘America’s Got Talent’.
    Aug 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Simon Cowell will reportedly miss the semi-finals of “Britain’s Got Talent” after the coronavirus pandemic led to the filming schedules being changed, causing a clash with “America’s Got Talent”.
    The music mogul acts as a judge on both programmes’ panels, and usually manages to plan filming days to allow him to shoot both. However, after the Covid-19 pandemic led to filming being shut down on the talent shows, dates for the BGT semis were changed, while the AGT dates stayed the same – and now both shows need Simon at the same time.
    Instead, he will have his say on the acts competing for the BGT grand prize virtually. It’s unknown at this stage whether or not he will enlist one of his famous friends to stand in for him in person on the day.
    “Simon is gutted to not be physically there for the semi-finals, but he’ll be there virtually, casting an eye over the talent and imparting his views in every show,” a source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper. “Normally, schedules mean Simon can do both but AGT’s dates haven’t moved while BGT’s have due to coronavirus.”
    The pandemic hit just before auditions were due to start for “Britain’s Got Talent”. While the series usually airs auditions over the space of several weeks, they will now be packed into a one-off catch-up show, before the semi-finals of the programme take place on Saturday nights later this year.

  • 'RHOP': Monique Samuels and Candiace Dillard's Brawl Is Teased in Season 5 Premiere

    Bravo

    The episode also sees Candiace and Gizelle Bryant having a back-and-forth at Candiace and husband Chris’ one-year wedding anniversary party after Gizelle confronts Candiace about her nasty tweet about Gizelle.
    Aug 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “The Real Housewives of Potomac” premiered its season 5 on Sunday, August 2 and fans could already tell that the new season would be an explosive one. Just like what they did to “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”, Bravo offered a sneak peek at the biggest fight between Monique Samuels and Candiace Dillard in the very first episode.
    It was only the first few minutes into the new episode when they briefly showed the highly-anticipated fight. The chaotic brawl happened in October 2019 where both women accused each other of second-degree assault, though the charges were later dropped. To make it more interesting, the show later took viewers several weeks back to see how things led to that moment.
    The episode also saw Gizelle Bryant revealing that she recently rekindled her relationship with ex-husband and pastor Jamal Bryant. Although he cheated on her while they were previously married, Gizelle decided to give him another try after she realized that there’s no other man she’d want to travel the world with nor is there another man who loves her children more than Jamal.
    Meanwhile, viewers were treated to a look at Ashley Darby’s life as she tried to adjust to life as a new mom. She also gushed over her relationship with husband Michael, saying that it was “better than ever.”
    Later in the episode, Candiace and Gizelle had a back-and-forth at Candiace and husband Chris’ one-year wedding anniversary party after Gizelle confronted Candiace about her nasty tweet about Gizelle. In the said tweet, Candiace slammed Gizelle’s house after the latter mocked Candiace’s house-hunting process. None of them planned to apologize to the other.
    Candiace’s good friend Karen Huger also opened up about her marital woes with her husband Ray while she made a speech at the bash. She previously told Monique that her husband wasn’t thrilled with her always leaving town to do work and promote her perfume.

    WENN

    The actress, who plays Nancy Wheeler on the hit Netflix series, gushes that she is excited to get back to work since the scripts for season four have been completely written.
    Aug 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “Stranger Things” actress Natalia Dyer believes the coronavirus shutdown has been a blessing in disguise for the team behind the hit show.
    The 25-year-old spoke with The Hollywood Reporter, and explained the delay in getting back to set is most likely a “blessing for the writers” as they have had more time to “just sit down, think, and create.”
    “Normally, we get the first few scripts, and then they have to keep writing due to the schedule of it,” she shared. “It takes a while to craft a script. So, normally, there’s a kind of ‘writing as we’re going’, but it seems they’ve had enough time.”
    Natalia, who plays Nancy Wheeler on the show, went on to hint that season four of the science fiction series, also starring Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp, is now completely written – and she can’t wait to get back to work.
    “I’m excited by the scripts. I’m excited for everything that this season is going to be,” she added.

    Instagram

    Lindsay Hartley, the ex-wife of ‘This Is Us’ star Justin Hartley, has confirmed the news on her Twitter account, writing to her followers, ‘Some big shoes to fill…precious too.’
    Aug 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “General Hospital” is making a temporary change on its cast. It is reported that Kelly Monaco will not play Sam McCall Morgan on the long-running soap opera in its new episodes this month. The decision is made due to her recent health problem.
    Actress Lindsay Hartley has been tapped to take over the character amid Kelly’s absence. The ex-wife of “This Is Us” star Justin Hartley confirmed the news on her Twitter account, writing to her followers, “Some big shoes to fill…precious too. I hope you enjoy watching Sam as much as I have enjoyed playing her, temporarily.”
    Fans were excited over the news as one replied, “I’m so happy to see you back on soaps for a bit and I know you were happy to be acting with Brook again!” Someone else added, “Thank you so much for stepping into her shoes to keep her story going. We appreciate you!” Another fan chimed in, “I’m sure that incredibly kind Kelly Monaco was appreciative that you could help out for a couple weeks.”
    Meanwhile, Kelly’s mother assured fans that her daughter would be back playing Sam soon after having a “breathing problem” on set. “Kelly is great and should be back on set Monday,” Carmina Monaco explained, adding that Kelly had been under a two-week quarantine.
    “She had a hard time with the Covid mask,” she wrote in another message. She also said that the quarantine order was “rather unexpected” as the actress had “tested negative twice for Covid.” Additionally, a third test did not reveal the presence of any antibodies.
    Prior to this, “General Hospital” suspended production due to coronavirus concerns. After it ran out of new episodes in May, ABC has been airing a series of classic episodes. Production fortunately resumed last month with new episodes being set to begin airing on Monday, August 3.

  • Lea Thompson Claims Ellen DeGeneres' Rudeness Is 'True Story,' Host Is 'Pissed' by New Allegations

    WENN

    In related story, the ‘Finding Dory’ actress is said to be wanting to exit the talk show following new claims made against herself and the staff of the award-winning morning show.
    Aug 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – More allegations against Ellen DeGeneres and her popular talk show “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” surfaced online. After comedian Brad Garrett claimed on Twitter that he knew many people who told him about getting poor treatment by the host, Lea Thompson doubled down on the comment.
    In response to an article about Brad saying that mistreatment by Ellen is a “common knowledge,” the “Little Women” star wrote on Friday, July 31, “True story. It is.” Lea, however, didn’t detail how she came to the conclusion.

    Lea Thompson agreed with Brad Garrett’s comment on mistreatment by Ellen DeGeneres.
    In related story, Ellen is said to be wanting to exit the talk show following new claims made against herself and the staff of the award-winning morning show. “She is pissed that people have come forward to share these negative stories about her and feels betrayed,” a source reveals to Us Weekly.
    “She knows she can be tough at times,” the insider goes on saying. “But [she] believes she works hard and is extremely creative and that it’s a privilege to work for her and be around her.”
    This arrives after James Corden reportedly might take over Ellen’s hosting duty on the daytime show. Editors at Britain’s The Sun newspaper claimed that “The Late Late Show with James Corden” host “could be the shock winner after dozens of employees accused the $50 million-a-year (£38 million) presenter of turning a blind eye to racism, bullying and sexual harassment on her hit daytime show.”
    Sources added that James had long been seen as Ellen’s “long term successor,” with the ongoing scandal only cementing his future on the show.
    “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” was hit with racism and toxic environment allegations made by current and former employees. In response to that, Ellen issued a statement in an internal email on Thursday, saying that she’s sorry for what happened and promised a change. However, later on Friday, BuzzFeed published a new report, alleging that “the office is a place where sexual harassment and misconduct by top executive producers runs rampant,” according to “dozens of men and women who work behind the scenes.”

  • Helena Bonham Carter Swipes Props From 'The Crown' and Plans to Sell Them on eBay

    Netflix

    The actress who played Princess Margaret in season 3 and 4 of the Netflix royal series reveals she took a lot of props from the set and might sell them online.
    Aug 2, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Helena Bonham Carter has joked she’s planning to sell the expensive props she nabbed from “The Crown” set on auction site eBay.
    The 54-year-old actress played Princess Margaret in season three and four of the hit Netflix show. She’s now handed over the role to successor Lesley Manville as the royal drama continues telling its chronological tale, but managed to take some souvenirs from the set before the gig came to an end.
    “I got loads of stuff – it’s all going on eBay. I’ve got lots of pearls, though I’ll send those back,” she told Britain’s The Sun newspaper. “But we got real, proper props. There was this lighter which was fantastically heavy – it was pure gold, it was ridiculous.”
    “I was like, ‘How much did this cost?’ And they told me and it was just shocking.”
    Helena became synonymous with the cigarette holder Margaret is always seen with thanks to her role in the show and, in another interview with Radio Times magazine, the British star said she should use the accessory as a baton to pass to Lesley.
    “I feel like I should be handing over a baton, like this race we are all running,” she smiled. “With Lesley, I feel like I should hand the cigarette holder that I used as a baton. Here you are, over to you!”
    “She’s going to have a great time with her and I’m so chuffed it’s her and she’s a great actress and she’ll have great fun.”
