      Kristin Cavallari Makes Huge Return in Season 2 Trailer of 'The Hills: New Beginnings'

      by

      MTV

      Kristin’s much-anticipated return aside, the trailer for the MTV series also sees Audrina Patridge accidentally letting it slip in that she’d kissed longtime friend Brody Jenner.

      Apr 14, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      “The Hills: New Beginnings” has released the first trailer for upcoming season 2. The first-look video offers fans a scene where Kristin Cavallari makes a huge return to the reboot as she steps out of the car in style.

      Donning a cut-out black dress, the recently-divorced star shows a power walk as she flips her hair while making her grand entrance. Later, the screen fades to black with someone saying in voiceiver, “To being reunited.”

      Fans of the MTV show were beyond excited to see Kristin’s appearance on the reboot, though it will be just one episode. “Kristin Cavallari coming back to The Hills is the antidepressant I needed today,” one person wrote on Twitter.

      Prior to this, Kristin teased her return to the show, saying that the new season would not be filled with drama. “No drama, at least not about me,” the Uncommon James designer shared with Us Weekly earlier this month. “I filmed one episode. So what could you really do? But it was so much fun. I had such a great time. It was like no time had passed and I’m really happy that I was able to do it.”

      Kristin’s much-anticipated return aside, the trailer also sees Audrina Patridge accidentally letting it slip in that she’d kissed longtime friend Brody Jenner. Nothing much is known about the kiss, but his relationship seemingly will be focused heavily in the forthcoming season.

      “I’ve hurt a lot of people I love,” he admits, adding, “And that’s not the Brody I want to be.” The self-proclaimed “Prince of Malibu” also discusses his breakup from Kaitlynn Carter before he is seen cuddling with an unknown woman in a bathtub.

      “After a year of lockdowns and lost time, the cast of Hollywood’s most iconic friend group is reuniting. This season finds them at a crossroads and their lives tested like never before,” MTV wrote in a statement. “While some struggle with the financial strains from the global pandemic and rebuilding businesses, others are navigating through rocky relationships, struggling with addiction as well as their mental and physical health. From a highly-publicized divorce and rekindling former flames to starting new families and surprise pregnancies, all bets are off this season.”

      Also starring Whitney Port, Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt, Brandon Thomas Lee, Justin Bobby Brescia and more, season 2 of “The Hills: New Beginnings” premieres on May 12 at 9 P.M. E.T. on MTV.

      Hank Azaria Feels the Need to Personally Apologize to Indian People for Voicing Apu on 'Simpsons'

      by

      Instagram/FOX

      More than a year after stepping down from voicing Apu, the Emmy-winning actor admits that the character was ‘an example of structural racism’ in the entertainment industry.

      Apr 14, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Hank Azaria has regretted his past decision to portray Apu Nahasapeemapetilon on “The Simpsons”. More than a year after stepping down from voicing the Indian character, the Emmy-winning actor says he feels the need to personally apologize to Indian people.

      The 56-year-old expressed his remorse when speaking to Dax Shepard and Monica Padman in the Monday, April 12 episode of “Armchair Expert” podcast. “I apologize for my part in creating that and participating in that. Part of me feels like I need to go around to every single Indian person in this country and personally apologize. And sometimes I do when it comes up,” he pointed out

      On how he took on the role, Hank recalled, “It’s 1988, and somebody says to me, ‘Hey, can you do an Indian accent?’ It was, like, one line. I said, ‘Yeah, I think so.’ And Apu comes out. We’re like ‘OK, that was funny’ and we all laugh.” He then added, “So that keeps going from there, and over the years it develops.”

      Hank’s character on the iconic FOX cartoon series has long been criticized. However, he divulged that Hari Kondabolu’s 2017 documentary “The Problem With Apu” was the first to make him realize his mistake. “I got called out publicly,” he spilled. “I got canceled – however you want to put it. And really intensely.”

      The “Brockmire” star then revealed it took three years for him to learn on racial issues. He mentioned that he “read, spoke to people who knew a lot about racism, spoke to lots of Indian people and went to seminars.” He also remembered talking to a 17-year-old Indian guy who told him how Apu has led to racial stereotypes of his heritage.

      “With tears in his eyes, he said to me, ‘Will you please tell the writers in Hollywood that what they do and what they come up with really matters in people’s lives, and it has consequences?’ ” the husband of Katie Wright recounted. “I was like, ‘Yes, my friend – I will tell them that.’ ”

      Having portrayed the character for around three decades, Hank admitted that it was “an example of structural racism” in the entertainment industry. “To me, participating in structural racism is about blind spots,” he said. “I really didn’t know any better. I don’t love the term ‘white privilege,’ but it applies. I prefer ‘relative advantage.’ I was unaware of how much relative advantage I had received in this country as a white kid from Queens.”

      “There were very good intentions on all of our part [with Apu]. We tried to do a funny, thoughtful character. Just because there were good intentions doesn’t mean there weren’t real negative consequences that I am accountable for,” he continued. “Part of my amends for all this is that I’m continuing to educate myself.”

      Shonda Rhimes Shocked by Uproar Over Rege-Jean Page's Exit From 'Bridgerton'

      by

      WENN/Netflix

      The producer of the Netflix period drama series is taken aback by fans’ outcry over the absence of the Duke of Hastings from the upcoming second season.

      Apr 14, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      “Bridgerton” creator Shonda Rhimes was stunned by the fan reaction to Rege-Jean Page’s “exit” from the hit show, insisting he was only ever supposed to appear in the first season.

      Devotees fell in love with Page’s Duke of Hastings and were stunned last month (Mar21) when it was confirmed he wouldn’t be back for a second run of the show – and Rhimes had no idea superfans would be so upset.

      “I was really shocked, because usually that happens when I’ve killed off somebody that’s been around for a while,” she tells Vanity Fair. “We didn’t even kill him! He’s still alive!”

        See also…

      But Rhimes is glad the Brit left such an impact on the Bridgerton faithful, adding, “He is a powerful, amazing actor and that meant we did our job.”

      “Every season, our job is finding the right people and putting together this incredible, world-shifting romance.”

      “I mean, really, what would Rege-Jean do, you know what I mean? We gave them (Duke and Duchess of Hastings) their happily ever after! And now we have this next couple coming.”

      The Duchess, played by Phoebe Dynevor, will be back for the second season while it was also announced on Tuesday that Netflix bosses have signed on for a third and fourth season of the period drama hit, which launched on Christmas Day (25Dec20).

      'Bridgerton' Gets Early Renewal for Season 3 and 4

      by

      Netflix

      The Netflix Regency drama series has been picked up for two more seasons by the streaming giant even while the second installment is still in production.

      Apr 14, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Netflix has agreed a deal with Shonda Rhimes for two more seasons of hit show “Bridgerton”.

      The streaming giant has signed up for a third and fourth season of the period drama from executive producer Rhimes while its second season is currently still in production, according to editors at The Hollywood Reporter.

      Renewal for seasons 3 and 4 follows a hugely successful debut which saw the show break the streamers viewing record and the departure of season 1 leading man Rege-Jean Page.

      “This two-season pickup is a strong vote of confidence in our work and I feel incredibly grateful to have partners as collaborative and creative as Netflix. Betsy (Beers) and I are thrilled to have the opportunity to continue bringing the world of Bridgerton to a worldwide audience,” Rhimes said in a statement obtained by the publication.

      “Bridgerton swept us off our feet. The creative team, led by Shonda, knew the material and delivered a beautiful, emotional, romantic drama for our members. They have some exciting plans for the future, and we think audiences will continue to swoon for this show. We’re planning to be in the Bridgerton business for a long time to come,” Bela Bajaria, VP of global TV at Netflix, added in a statement from the streaming giant.

      The second season of the Regency drama is expected to be based on Quinn’s novel “The Viscount Who Loved Me”, and will chronicle a new romance story of Lord Anthony Bridgerton’s search for love.

      However, fans were disappointed to see the departure of British star Page who had originally signed on to the series with a one-year deal to play male lead Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings.

      Paula Abdul Calls Simon Cowell 'the STD' During 'American Idol' Return

      by

      WENN

      The original female ‘Idol’ judge shocks host Ryan Seacrest when she gave the British music mogul an unflattering nickname during a video call with another former judge Randy Jackson.

      Apr 14, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Paula Abdul left American Idol host Ryan Seacrest lost for words on Monday night (12Apr21) when she referred to music mogul Simon Cowell as “the STD.”

      The “Straight Up” star returned to the panel of the U.S. TV show to stand in for regular judge Luke Bryan, who had tested positive for Covid-19. As they celebrated Paula’s comeback, Ryan treated her to a video call with Randy Jackson – the third member of the panel when Simon and Paula acted as judges – when she made the comment about her former nemesis.

      “It’s so good to see you! We’re all back, now we just need the STD,” Paula quipped, after which followed an awkward silence when Seacrest appeared unsure of what to say.

      She quickly realised she’d shocked with the remark and thought of an acronym – “the super, talented… debonair.”

        See also…

      Ryan speedily moved the chat on as he said, “I think Paula is doing an amazing job, next to the amazing Katy and the amazing Lionel.”

      While Luke was absent from the programme on Monday night, fellow judge Katy Perry said she thought he would be back the week after as he’s not too under the weather with the virus.

      “He’s totally good,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “I think he’s gonna be alright. I think we’ll be seeing him next week.”

      Erika Girardi Addresses Tom Divorce in 'RHOBH' Season 11 Trailer

      by

      In addition to Erika’s divorce battle, the new promo sees the ladies doing their usual shopping as they strut their stuff in fabulous outfits with new friend Kathy Hilton being introduced in one scene.

      Apr 13, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” has released the first trailer for its upcoming season 11. Released on Monday, April 12, the promo features cast member Erika Girardi addressing her headline-making divorce battle with estranged husband Tom Girardi.

      It opens with the ladies playing a game of “two truths and one lie.” Later, when they have dinner together in the next scene, Erika appears to get candid about her marital woe, saying that she “did not see it ending this way.”

      Of her 81-year-old husband, the 49-year-old Bravo personality says, “I was going to hold that man’s hand until he died.”

      Elsewhere in the trailer, Erika is seen discussing the lawsuit claiming that she and Tom embezzled money. “Did you have a heads up? Is that why you got divorced?” Garcelle Beauvais asks as they take a break from hiking. To that, Erika responds, “No I did not.”

      Later, the entire “RHOBH” cast members confront Erika over the matter. When asked if she knew about Tom’s alleged crimes, Erika tells the ladies that only Tom “knows the answer.” She also insists to Sutton Stracke that she’s “not a liar,” adding that Sutton has a “lot of f***ing nerve.”

      In addition to Erika’s divorce battle, the new promo sees the ladies doing their usual shopping as they strut their stuff in fabulous outfits. The new season will also feature some fun-filled group outings with new friend Kathy Hilton being introduced in one scene.

      That is not all. The trailer hints that newcomer Crystal Kung Minkoff is having a heated argument with Sutton. “You’re an inappropriate awkward person because you’re jealous. Period,” Crystal tells Sutton in front of other ladies. That prompts Sutton to get up and storm off before firing back, “F**k you, Crystal. I’m jealous of what? Your ugly leather pants?”

      The two continue butting heads when Crystal questions whether Sutton doesn’t “see color.” Insulted, Sutton responds, “Are you serious with me right now?”

      “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” is set to return with season 11 on May 19 at 8 P.M. on Bravo.

      Report: Rege-Jean Page Exits 'Bridgerton' Due to 'Creative Differences' With Shonda Rhimes

      by

      Instagram

      Despite leaving the hit Netflix series, the British-Zimbabwean actor previously noted in an interview that he hoped nothing but further success for ‘Bridgerton’.

      Apr 13, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      It seems like Rege-Jean Page’s exit from Netflix’s hit drama “Bridgerton” can be avoided. If a new report is to be believed, the reason why the Simon Basset depicter departed from the show was because he and the producers had different views on the future of his character.

      “Rege is not coming back to ‘Bridgerton’ because of creative differences with [executive producer] Shonda Rhimes and her team,” a source told Page Six. “He wasn’t happy with what was planned for his character for season 2, which would have kept him a player but not the focal point of the show.”

      Additionally, the Hollywood insider claimed that the actor “has been inundated with offers for other interesting and challenging leading roles.”

        See also…

      The source later noted that it wasn’t a good move for Rege to have a disagreement with Shonda. “If you look at all the big names who have left [Rhimes’ hit show] ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ in the past, you see you don’t disagree with Shonda, nobody is bigger than the show,” the source added. Despite the “creative differences,” Rege allegedly left on good terms.

      Of his exit, the 31-year-old hunk told Variety earlier this month, “It’s a one-season arc. It’s going to have a beginning, middle, end – give us a year. [I thought] ‘That’s interesting,’ because then it felt like a limited series. I get to come in, I get to contribute my bit and then the Bridgerton family rolls on.”

      While acknowledging that fans might be saddened by his exit, he was convinced that “the audience knows the arc completes.” The actor continued, “They come in knowing that, so you can tie people in emotional knots because they have that reassurance that we’re going to come out and we’re going to have the marriage and the baby.”

      The British-Zimbabwean actor also noted that he hoped nothing but further success for “Bridgerton”. “I have nothing but excitement for ‘Bridgerton’ continuing to steam train off and conquer the globe,” he claimed. “But there is also value in completing these arcs and sticking the landing.”

      Piers Morgan Dubs Sheryl Underwood's 'PTSD' Claim Post-'The Talk' Fight 'Crock of S**t'

      WENN/Instagram/Mario Mitsis

      In the show’s first episode of ‘The Talk’ since its nearly month-long hiatus, Sheryl claims she has ‘trauma’ following her on-air debate with former co-host Sharon Osbourne.

      Apr 13, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Piers Morgan has reacted to Sheryl Underwood’s recent claim. Upon learning “The Talk” co-host declared that she experienced post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following her on-air clash with Sharon Osbourne, the former host of “Good Morning Britain” dubbed her statement “crock of s**t.”

      On Monday, April 12, the 56-year-old English broadcaster made use of Twitter to repost an article about the comedienne’s claims. Along with it, he simply argued, “Oh what a crock of sh*t.” Prior to that, he retweeted a video from “The Talk” Twitter account in which she shared a message ahead of the show’s return. He raged, “What a shameless fraud.”

      Piers Morgan dubs Sheryl Underwood’s ‘PTSD’ claim ‘crock of ‘shit.’

      “The Talk” made its return on Monday since its nearly month-long hiatus. In the episode, Sheryl addressed her past argument with Sharon and spilled, “I feel like I’ve been in, like, PTSD because it was a trauma, and I feel like I want to get past this because I really wanted to get back to work with my friends and my colleagues and the crew… But I also wanted to get back to the audience.”

        See also…

      Sheryl also divulged the reason why she remained calm during the awkward debate. “I didn’t want to escalate things with Sharon because I thought I was having a conversation with a friend, but also I knew I had to be an example for others to follow because I didn’t want to perceived as the angry black woman,” she said. “And that really scared me.”

      “I didn’t want to be that and I wanted to remain calm and remain focused, and it’s difficult to go back to that day because I just feel the trauma,” the 57-year-old went on. “I feel fearful, apprehensive.”

      Sheryl and Sharon’s heated debate occurred in the March 10 episode of “The Talk”. At that time, the wife of Ozzy Osbourne defended Piers in the wake of his controversial comments about Meghan Markle’s explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.

      Sharon, who has since left the CBS talk show, claimed that she has personally apologized to Sheryl. The latter also confirmed that her former co-host texted her but she did not reply because their on-air stand-off was under an internal investigation.
