    Next up was Thomas Day, who sang a stunning rendition of “Break My Heart” by Finneas. He got mixed reactions for his performance. Howie thought he was nervous and stiff, but Simon begged to differ. Thomas went to the next round with a three yes.
    Frenchie Babyy later showed off his flexible body. Following an emotional phone call between him and his mom, who didn’t really support his dancing, Frenchie was sent to the next round. 14-year-old Kelvin Dukes, meanwhile, impressed Simon with his amazing and soulful voice which convinced Simon that he had a really “special talent.” Following it was The Bello Sisters, who moved on to the next round thanks to their jaw-dropping flexibility skills.

Sofia, meanwhile, called it an “amazing” and “breathtaking” performance and hit her Golden Buzzer for Roberta.
    After performances of standup comic Usama Siddique, magician Florian Sainvet, dog act Jennifer and Daiquiri, and salsa dancing duo Simon y Maria, novelty singer Bonavega concluded the night. Howie loved Bonavega’s performance and dubbed it the “biggest surprise” for him so far.

    Instagram

    After Craig Gore lets out a series of statements condemning and threatening looters, creator Dick Wolf issues a statement claiming that he has been fired from ‘Law and Order: Organized Crime’.
    Jun 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “Law & Order” creator Dick Wolf has fired a writer on the show’s new spin-off after he made controversial remarks about Black Lives Matter protesters in Los Angeles.
    Craig Gore, who also worked on “S.W.A.T.” and “Chicago P.D.”, posted a series of posts on Facebook on Monday, June 01 condemning looters and sharing an image in which he is holding a weapon as a threat to those who disobey the city’s curfew. The statements come as protests continue throughout the country in response to the death of George Floyd, an African-American man who was killed at the hands of white police officers on May 25 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
    Photos on social media show Gore holding a gun with the caption “Curfew…” He also threatened to “light motherf**kers up who are trying to f**k with my property.”
    Gore listed himself as a co-executive producer on “Law & Order: Organized Crime”, the new Chris Meloni series being developed at NBC, but Wolf has announced Gore will no longer be involved in the show.
    “I will not tolerate this conduct, especially during our hour of national grief. I am terminating Craig Gore immediately,” Dick Wolf said in a statement to Variety.
    The news comes as the “S.W.A.T.” writers’ room Twitter account featured a statement calling for “law enforcement to de-escalate conflicts, not exacerbate them.”

    Of her first gig after royal exit, Meghan said, “I’m really grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of bringing this story of elephants to life.” She added, “I’ve been very lucky to be able to have hands-on experience with elephants in their natural habitat. When you spend time connecting with them and the other wildlife, you really understand we have a role to play in their preservation and their safety.”
    Talking about elephans living in Botswana, Meghan explained, “These creatures are so majestic and at the same time, they are so sensitive and so connected. We see in this film just how remarkable they are. I think they’re a lot more like us than they are different.”

    Additionally, it is said that ‘all the ladies’ will be returning to the upcoming season 11 of ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ and that there is possibility of a new addition to the cast.
    Jun 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Teresa Giudice is not wasting time to move on from her ex Joe Giudice. “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star allegedly is planning to show her new love life following her divorce from Joe in a new season of the Bravo reality TV series.
    “Teresa’s new storyline will be all about moving forward and moving on with her life, and a large focus of the show will be about how amazing she’s doing,” a source spilled to HollywoodLife.com. “You will definitely see her dating and she’s expressed she’s starting to feel ready.”
    The informant continued to dish, “She’d like to find someone eventually to settle down with who’s older. The other ladies story lines are still being figured out. The show will heavily revolve around her during season 11.”
    Despite her plan to move on, it didn’t mean that she had a bad blood with Joe, to whom she was married to for 20 years before splitting. Teresa was among those who gave Joe a birthday shoutout to Joe on his 48th birthday on Friday, May 22. Commenting on Joe’s photo, Teresa wrote, “Happy Birthday. ope you have the best birthday ever.” She also added several celebratory emojis, including a candlelit cake, gift and confetti.
    Back to upcoming season 11 of “RHONJ”, the source claimed that “all the ladies” would be returning and that there was possibility of a new addition to the cast. “The network is toying with the idea of adding someone else, but since they weren’t even one full week into filming, they haven’t decided yet. Some of them hadn’t even filmed together and very few scenes had been filmed,” the source explained. “They are talking to a few women though to see if they’d mesh, but it’s looking like the same ladies from next season only.”
    It was reported that Bravo would start filming for the new season on July 20. “The network doesn’t want to take any chances on starting earlier than that, but everyone’s feeling excited and ready to go. They got the call about filming this week,” said the source. Returning to season 11 alongside Teresa are Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania and Jackie Goldschneider.

    Quavo and Takeoff Searching for Superstar With New Talent Show 'Step Up to the Mic'

    Instagram

    Two of the Migos rappers will join a producer and a songwriter as judges as they are looking for talents with ‘the mamba mentality’ in a new online talent competition.
    May 31, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Migos star Quavo is looking for a “superstar… (who’s) ready to work” with him on online entertainment platform Triller’s new talent competition “Step Up to the Mic”.
    The 29-year-old hip-hop star will sit on the judging panel alongside groupmate TakeOff, producer Murda Beatz, and songwriter Starrah for the contest, which sees up-and-coming singers competing for a career-making prize package.
    “I’m looking for a superstar,” the “Pick Up” hitmaker told the New York Post’s gossip column Page Six. “Someone who has the ambition, someone who’s willing to learn, but also knows what they bring to the table. Someone unique and real.”
    The winning act will record an original hit song crafted by the judges, an accompanying music video, and receive a major record label and management deal of up to a year.
    Sharing his advice for hopefuls, Quavo, real name Quavious Keyate Marshall, said, “They have to have that mamba mentality – RIP Kobe (Bryant) – and be ready to work.”
    “Make sure your voice is as powerful as the ones spitting bars, and just no complaints,” he continued. “Sometimes, being a singer, even I complain – like, ‘My voice ain’t right today’ – but it’s really important to bring it every time with no excuses.”
    Auditions for the show are available to watch online here. The top 30 contestants will be announced, and voting will begin on June 5, 2020.

    Christie Brinkley's Daughter Blames Tone Deaf 'GMA' Interview on 'Editing'

    Instagram

    Sailor Brinkley Cook is disappointed by ‘Good Morning America’ for focusing on her story as a teen growing up with her model mother instead of highlighting ‘the inspirational things’ she said.
    May 31, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Model Sailor Brinkley Cook has apologised to fans and fellow body issue sufferers for the way her latest TV interview was presented.
    Christie Brinkley’s daughter agreed to appear on “Good Morning America” for a segment on Friday, May 29, 2020 to talk about her struggles with body dysmorphia and anorexia after she was told the piece would be part of a hopeful segment about mental health, but she was far from happy with what she saw.
    Sailor took to Instagram on Friday afternoon to distance herself from what she considered a “tone deaf” interview.
    “I’m a little upset about the GMA piece that aired this morning,” she wrote. “I have nothing but respect for GMA and (correspondent) Deborah (Roberts), and have nothing negative to say about either one. But I wanted to set some things straight.”
    “I understand that ‘comparisons to model mom’ and ‘eating disorder struggles’ are great taglines for click bait on news outlets, but when I agreed to do this interview I was under the impression that it would be in a positive light and would be inspirational. I ONLY agreed to do it during this awful time in America, because I thought it would be a small beacon of positivity for people who have dealt with the same things as me.”
    “I want to sincerely apologize for the tone deafness of the interview… If I were in control of the editing, it would’ve been shown in a very different light and would’ve highlighted the inspirational things I said rather than the explanation of what I went through as a 15-year-old.”
