      Find Out How Tyler Perry Handles Filming During Pandemic After Crew Members Test Positive

      by

      WENN

      Despite that, the media mogul and his crew were still able to wrap up the production for the ‘Sistas’ without having any other members test positive for the virus.
      Jul 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Filming during the pandemic era is surely not an easy feat, but Tyler Perry has managed to do it. However, it doesn’t mean he didn’t have any difficulties while shooting “Sistas” because the media mogul recently revealed in an interview that four crew members actually tested positive during the production.
      Speaking to The Hollywood Reporters, Perry broke down how he handled the situation after learning of the news. “Here’s how it went: We had 160 people check in the first day, go to their rooms, get tested and wait for their results. Nobody was able to leave their rooms. We had two positives in that. So we had them escorted out and got the help that they needed,” the star explained.
      “Then 200 people checked in [soon after] and we had two positive inside of the 200. We had them escorted out and got them the help that they needed. So we had four before anybody left their rooms, before anybody started work,” Perry continued, pointing out that this way more people would not be affected. “Those rooms were kept closed and off limits to anybody until after we finished shooting.”
      Executive produced by Perry, “Sistas” follows a group of single black women from different walks of life who bond over their one common thread: why am I single? In this bold new series, viewers watch these women navigate their “complicated love life” status, careers and friendship through the ups-and-downs of living in a modern world of social media and unrealistic relationship goals.
      First aired in October last year on BET, this comedy-drama series stars KJ Smith, Ebony Obsidian, Mignon Von and Novi Brown among others. It’s still unclear when the second season of the show will be released to the public.

      'RHOA': NeNe Leakes Says She's Still in Negotiations for Season 13

      by

      Instagram

      The 52-year-old insists that the whole process takes so long because of the Bravo show’s production team, saying, ‘I know a lot of people think it’s me. … that’s not NeNe.’
      Jul 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – NeNe Leakes has addressed rumors swirling about her for some weeks in a new Instagram Live. During the live streaming, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star opened up about her status for season 13 of the Bravo reality show.
      She revealed that she’s still negotiating her contract with the network 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.”
      She also talked about rumors that she allegedly calls herself the queen and the HBIC (Head B***h in Charge). “Well, I am a queen. … I’m going to continue to say I’m a queen, cause I am,” NeNe hit back. She went on to say that people should call co-star Porsha Williams the same since she “wanted the crown, I know she considered herself the queen.”

      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.

      Emmys 2020 Will Be Held Virtually, Promises to Offer 'Unique 'on Screen' Moments'

      by

      The announcement is made in a letter from this year’s Emmy executive producers sent to key acting nominees, informing them that they won’t be asked ‘to come to the Microsoft Theatre in downtown L.A. on September 20th.’
      Jul 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The 2020 Emmy Awards will go virtual. The announcement is made in a letter from this year’s Emmy executive producers sent to key acting nominees. In the letter, the nominees are asked to prepare themselves to participate in the awards-giving event from home.
      “As you’ve probably guessed, we’re not going to be asking you to come to the Microsoft Theatre in downtown L.A. on September 20th,” reads the letter. “This year, it’s still going to be TV industry’s biggest night out… but we’ll come to you!”
      “We are assembling a top notch team of technicians, producers and writers to work closely with Jimmy Kimmel and with you and your team, to make sure that we can film with you (and loved ones or whomever else you choose to be with) at your home, or another location of your choice,” the letter continues.
      The TV Academy also claims in the letter that they’re “going to make you look fabulous” in addition to “exploring the cutting edge of technology to allow to use good cameras and lighting and look forward to working with you to produce your unique ‘on screen’ moments.”
      The letter is signed by the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards’ host and EP Jimmy as well as fellow EPs Reggie Hudlin and Ian Stewart, Guy Carrington and David Jammy from telecast producer Done+Dusted.
      ABC and Television Academy then share in a joint statement, “As ABC and the Television Academy continue to formulate plans for the Emmys telecast, producers have taken the proactive step of reaching out to some nominees now to inform them of our intent to deliver a live show that is both celebratory and safe. We look forward to sharing information with you in the weeks ahead, as we solidify our plans for TV’s biggest night.”
      The new announcement arrives shortly after the 2020 Primetime Emmys announced its nominations on Tuesday, July 28. “Ozark”, “Watchmen”, “Succession”, “Dead to Me”, “Killing Eve” and “Schitt’s Creek” lead the nominations with three nods apiece.

      Bernadette Beck Calls Out 'Riverdale' for Making Her 'Invisible'

      by

      The CW

      The English native, who joins the cast of The CW’s series since season 3 to play Peaches ‘N Cream, also claims in a new interview that she’s ‘made out to be a very unlikable character and therefore, an unlikable person in people’s eyes.’
      Jul 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Another “Riverdale” cast member is speaking against The CW’s series. Two months after co-star Vanessa Morgan called for more diversity on the show, Bernadette Beck got candid about her experience being one of a few black cast members on the show.
      “I was made out to be a very unlikable character and therefore, an unlikable person in people’s eyes,” Bernadette, who plays Peaches ‘N Cream, a bisexual member of the Pretty Poisons, on the series told ELLE.com on Tuesday, July 28. She also criticized the way the series depicted her character.
      “I get it, there’s always a protagonist and antagonist, but I never had much of a story plot or enough character development to even be considered an antagonist. I was, for no reason, depicted in a very negative, unattractive light,” she shared.
      The English native went on to say that she’s “not the first black actress to show up on set, stand there, chew gum, and look sassy and mean. I feel like I was just there to fulfill a diversity quota. It’s just to fulfill points.”
      Beck, who joined the cast since season 3, also claimed that she was treated as if she’s invisible on the set. “I was completely forgotten in the scene more than once,” she alleged. “The director [would] be walking off set and I’d have to chase them down because I had no idea where to stand, what to do — I just hadn’t been given any instruction.”
      “You can’t treat people like they’re invisible and then pat yourself on the back for meeting your diversity quota for the day,” she said.
      She went on to say that she initially didn’t understand how being a likable character was important. “Some people say it’s just a TV show, but I’m thinking about the implications long-term,” she explained. “If we are depicted as unlikable or our characters are not developed or we’re looked at as the enemy all the time, that affects our public persona. What kind of opportunities are we losing out on even after ‘Riverdale’?”

      Beck took to her Instagram account to share her interview. “I have remained silent for far too long. We must come together as a collective to hold Hollywood along with our systemic oppressors accountable,” she wrote in the caption.

Judges Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel reunited in the studio while the acts were shown on a huge screen.
      After sending Celina, Malik DOPE, Alan Silva, Brett Loudermilk and Archie Williams to the live shows, the judges were offered with another 10 performances with salsa dance duo Simon and Maria being the first act to perform. Simon praised them for performing a “better routine,” while Sofia called them “perfect.”

      The episode also featured a “super entertaining” performance from Ninja Twins who sang Justin Bieber’s “Yummy”. Concluding the night was danger act Jonathan Goodwin. Before he started, he claimed that this was “the most dangerous and scariest thing I’ve ever performed.” It was indeed a dangerous act as he was blindfolded while there were loaded crossbows firing at him.

      Tamar Braxton's Recovery From Suicide Attempt Pushes Back Reality Show's Premiere

      by

      WENN

      WE tv makes the announcement about ‘Get Ya Life!’ less than two weeks after the ‘Braxton Family Values’ star was found unresponsive at her apartment in Los Angeles.
      Jul 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Singer Tamar Braxton’s upcoming reality show has stalled as the star recovers from an apparent suicide attempt.
      Bosses at WE tv have confirmed “Tamar Braxton: Get Ya Life!” will no longer premiere on Thursday (July 30), due to the 43-year-old’s “current situation.”
      “At this moment we are joining with her fans and sending strength and healing in the hope that she is getting the support and help she needs at this difficult time,” a statement from the network reads.

      Earlier this month Braxton’s boyfriend, David Adefeso, found the singer and reality TV star unresponsive at her apartment in Los Angeles and took her to the hospital, where she is receiving ongoing treatment.
      He later released a statement to The Blast thanking his girlfriend’s fans for their “ongoing thoughts and prayers.”
      “Tamar is a beautifully talented woman, a devoted mother, a loving girlfriend, a dear sister and a special friend to countless people,” David said. “This is an extremely difficult time for Tamar and her family as she navigates professional and personal struggles, including her battle with depression.”
      “Tamar is currently receiving the best available medical attention to address those struggles and strengthen her mental health, and her family and I will remain by her side throughout her treatment.”
      Reports suggest Tamar spent several days in a coma following an alleged overdose of alcohol and pills.
      “Get Ya Life!” is now expected to debut on 10 September.
