    Heather Locklear to Reunite With 'Melrose Place' Cast for COVID-19 Benefit Special

    FOX

    The Amanda Woodward depicter will join Marcia Cross, Josie Bissett and more virtually as part of the ‘Stars in The House’ series to benefit actors affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
    Apr 28, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The cast of “Melrose Place” is set to reunite as part of the Stars in The House YouTube series to benefit actors affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
    Marcia Cross, Heather Locklear, Josie Bissett and more stars from the hit 1990s series will gather virtually on Tuesday, April 28, to discuss their time on the show.
    Viewers, who will be able to submit questions as part of the events, will be encouraged to donate to The Actors Fund’s relief efforts. The reunion will air live on YouTube on Tuesday at 8pm EST (https://www.youtube.com/theactor’sfund), just days after Locklear marked one year of sobriety in an emotional post on Instagram.
    The 58-year-old actress celebrated the milestone by sharing an inspirational quote from Maya Angelou, which began: “I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage and tangled Christmas tree lights.”
    Alongside the uplifting words, former “Melrose Place” actress Heather referenced the coronavirus pandemic and social distancing guidelines as she wrote: “Hugs will come later! 1 year sober today!!!.”

    The “Melrose Place” cast members will join the stars of “Glee”, “Frasier” and “Desperate Housewives”, who previously gathered as part of the YouTube reunion series.

    NeNe Leakes on Walking Off 'RHOA' Virtual Reunion: I'm Staying True to Who I Am

    Instagram

    This arrives after NeNe allegedly decides to walk off the filming after the Bravo reality TV star’s former friend Yovanna Momplaisir spills the tea against her about the infamous ‘SnakeGate’.
    Apr 28, 2020
    AceShowbiz – NeNe Leakes has confirmed the rumors about her walking off during filming for “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” season 12 virtual reunion. The Bravo personality addressed the matter in a new YouTube video in which she calmly confirmed, “Yes I walked off. Yes I walked off.”
    Insisting that she “didn’t regret a thing,” NeNe continued saying, “I would do it again, and again, and again. Lots of things I do, I don’t always regret them because everything is a lesson to me. Also I’m the kind of person that act on how I feel and I’m true to who I am. I always want to be very true to who I am. I’ve never been thirsty.”
    According to reports, NeNe decided to walk off the filming after her former friend Yovanna Momplaisir spilled the tea against her about the infamous “SnakeGate” in which Yovanna was said to be having an audio recording of Cynthia Bailey allegedly badmouthing her co-star NeNe during an interview. However, during the taping, which took place on April 23, Yovanna confessed that she never actually had the file.
    Additionally, Yovanna said it was all a ploy NeNe made to create a storyline. She allegedly mentioned that she decided to go along with her friend’s plan because she thought it would help her become a full-time member instead of a friend.
    That led to an online beef between Yovanna and NeNe as they were trading insults on Instagram. “What I posted last night was responses to some things that NeNe was posting,” the Bravo star shared in an interview on Sunday, April 26. “She has since deleted the things that she posted on social media and it’s just funny that these are things that she did not come to the reunion with. In fact, my entire segment with her she chose to leave and not address anything. So, it’s just strange, because she should have she should have planned her case where she’s paid to.”
    “You guys are gonna have to watch the reunion. Everything is laid out there. Every single thing is laid out there,” she added about the “SnakeGate”. Yovanna also added that she wasn’t afraid of NeNe. “Absolutely not,” she said. “She met her match. She underestimated the wrong one.”

    'American Idol' Recap: Top 20 Perform From Home Amid COVID-19 Crisis

    ABC/Scott Patrick Green

    After stunning performances from Grace Leer and Just Sam, Johnny West concludes the new episode of the ABC singing competition with a perfect rendition of ‘What a Wonderful World’.
    Apr 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The show must go on. Coronovirus didn’t make the Top 20 of “American Idol” lose their fighting spirit to be the winner as in the Sunday, April 26 episode they were seen performing from their homes.
    Performing first was Kimmy Gabriela, who sang “Leave My Lonely” by Ariana Grande in her backyard. That was such an amazing performance that earned her praises from the judges. “You took it to the next level and you killed it,” Lionel Richie raved.
    Up next was Jovin Webb who impressed the judges with a rendition of “With a Little Help From My Friends” by Joe Cocker. Judge Katy Perry was so in love with the performance, telling him that he “separated himself” from the rest of the competition with his performance. Following it up was Franklin Boone, who opted to sing “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”.
    Meanwhile, Olivia Ximines opted to offer a powerful version of “Bad Guy” by Billie Eilish. The judges noticed that Olivia showed a pleasant growth from before. As for Louis Knight, she sang “If the World Was Ending” from her bedroom. The judges loved his artistry, though Katy noted that he sounded “a bit nasally.”
    The next performer was Maykayla Phillips. She chose to belt out “Greedy” by Ariana Grande. The judges were satisfied with the performance, but Katy asked her to pick a song that “tugs at the heartstrings” more if she was voted to the top 10. Singing “Run to You” by Whitney Houston was Aliana Jester. It was not an easy song but she nailed it.
    Faith Becnel then sang a powerful rendition of “River” and earned praises from the judges. Later, it was Nick Merico’s turn to perform “Hey There Delilah” and judge Luke Bryan said that he wished Nick would dig down “just a little more.”
    Lauren Spencer-Smith then sang a rendition of “Mamma Knows Best” before Cyniah Elise performed “Warrior” by Demi Lovato. Francisco Martin, meanwhile, picked Katy’s song “Teenage Dream” and got an approval from her.
    Also performing that night was Sophia James (Wackerman), DeWayne Crocker Jr., Dillon James and Arthur Gunn. Julia Gargano belted out Christina Perri’s “Human”, prompting the judges to rave about her performance. After stunning performances from Grace Leer and Just Sam, Johnny West concluded the night with a perfect rendition of “What a Wonderful World”.
    Only ten will move to the next round. The results will be revealed in the May 3 episode.

    'RHOA': Yovanna Momplaisir Is 'Absolutely Not' Afraid of NeNe Leakes Amid Beef

    Instagram

    The former friends have been exchanging insults on social media for the past few days, and now Yovanna has explained what goes wrong between her and her co-star.
    Apr 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – NeNe Leakes and Yovanna Momplaisir’s friendship took a bad turn during filming for “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” season 12 virtual reunion. The former friends had been exchanging insults on social media for the past few days, and now Yovanna has explained what went wrong between her and her co-star.
    “What I posted last night was responses to some things that NeNe was posting,” the Bravo star said to HollywoodLife.com on Sunday, April 26, referring to her and NeNe’s online spat over who’s to blame for the infamous Snakegate scandal.
    For those who need a refresher, Snakegate scandal was when it was said there was an audio of Cynthia Bailey allegedly badmouthing her co-star NeNe during an interview. Yovanna was previously accused to be the one having the audio proof, prompting everyone to call her the “snake.”
    Back to the new interview, Yovanna continued saying, “She has since deleted the things that she posted on social media and it’s just funny that these are things that she did not come to the reunion with. In fact, my entire segment with her she chose to leave and not address anything. So, it’s just strange, because she should have she should have planned her case where she’s paid to.”
    “You guys are gonna have to watch the reunion. Everything is laid out there. Every single thing is laid out there,” she added about the Snakegate.
    When asked why NeNe attacked her online, Yovanna said, “Because she’s mad that she’s about to be exposed.” She went on to say, “I think that it’s, it’s just her way to, like I said, manipulate people’s minds before the truth actually comes out. This is just what you call desperation. So it’s just funny that these receipts that she keeps posting, they’re doctored up and they’re all one sided.”
    “She went Casper the Ghost at the reunion,” Yovanna said of NeNe. “Shes tried time and time again to prevent me from speaking my truth, so what you guys are seeing play out on social media is merely an attempt to manipulate people’s minds before the actual reunion airs, so this is her trying to do damage control because she knows it’s going to come out in the next few weeks.”
    Yovanna also added that she wasn’t afraid of NeNe. “Absolutely not,” she said. “She met her match. She underestimated the wrong one.”
    This arrived after it was said that Yovanna claimed that NeNe made her lie about the recording because she never had one. During the reunion, Yovanna allegedly mentioned that she decided to go along with her friend’s plan because she thought it would help her become a full-time member instead of a friend.
    Following the tapping, NeNe took to her Instagram account to share a screenshot of Yovanna’s text to her. The text saw Yovanna telling NeNe that they shouldn’t expose all of it in the reunion, which was contradicting with what Yovanna allegedly did during the taping.
    Clapping back to NeNe’s shade, Yovanna wrote on her account, “Judge @bravoandy had all the RECEIPTS at the reunion. You were a NO SHOW!! CASE DISMISSED!!” In a separate post, she also set the record straight that she “didn’t know Kenya Moore in April 2019” and question why were NeNe’s receipts “only one sided?”

    “RHOA” season 12 reunion will air on May 10 at 9 P.M. on Bravo.

    Jeff Goldblum Called Islamophobe Over 'Ignorant' Comments on 'RuPaul's Drag Race'

    VH1

    The ‘Jurassic Park’ actor is accused of being islamophobic over his comments when he saw one of the ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ contestants donned a star-spangled hijab.
    Apr 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Actor Jeff Goldblum has been scolded by fans online over his controversial appearance as a guest judge on Friday’s April 24, 2020 instalment of “RuPaul’s Drag Race”.
    During the episode, drag queen Jackie Cox, real name Darius Rose, wore a star-spangled hijab in honour of her Muslim background, as part of the show’s Stars And Stripes runway challenge.
    Commenting on the look, Jeff, 67, came under fire by first asking if the performer was “religious” before going on to question the treatment of LGBTQ+ people within the faith.

    “Is there something in this religion that is anti-homosexuality and anti-woman? Does that complicate the issue? I’m just raising it and thinking out loud and maybe being stupid,” he commented.
    While RuPaul insisted that “drag has always shaken the tree,” Jackie became teary-eyed as she said it was “a complex issue” and she had her “own misgivings about the way LGBTQ+ people are treated in the Middle East.”
    “I had to show America that you can be LGBT and from the Middle East and there’s going to be complicated s**t around that and that’s okay. But I’m here and I deserve to be in America just as much as anyone else,” Jackie said.
    Criticising the “Jurassic Park” star for his theories, fans took to Twitter to make their feelings known, with one viewer writing, “That Jeff Goldblum to Jackie Cox moment on this week’s Drag Race was so deeply uncomfortable to watch.”
    “Why did he think that was appropriate? How did it make it to the edit? How was that in any way fair on Jackie? Just so many levels of awfulness.”
    Another commented, “Now would Jeff Goldblum have asked a Christian queen that same question that he asked Jackie? That was really ignorant,” while a third user hit out, adding, “I am REALLY not here for Jeff Goldblum’s casually islamophobic critique of Jackie Cox tonight.”
    The star has yet to comment on the controversy.

    Brad Pitt's Dr. Fauci Disses Donald Trump on 'SNL' Over Coronavirus Disinfectant Injection Remarks

    NBC

    The ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ actor returns to ‘Saturday Night Live’ as Covid-19 expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, to factcheck what the President has been saying about the virus.
    Apr 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Brad Pitt stole the show on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend, April 25, 2020 with a surprise appearance as America’s top COVID-19 expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci.
    The “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” star launched the second At Home version of the famed late-night comedy sketch show by taking on the role of Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, for the cold open, during which he tried to clarify numerous confusing statements issued by U.S. President Donald Trump in his regular White House coronavirus task force briefings.
    “Good evening, I’m Dr. Anthony Fauci,” a suited Pitt began, wearing a pair of glasses and a grey wig while seated behind a desk.
    “Now, there’s been a lot of misinformation out there about the virus. Yes, the President has taken some liberties with our guidelines. So tonight, I would like to explain what the President was trying to say.”
    Footage of Trump claiming there would be a vaccine “relatively soon” then aired, before cutting back to Pitt, as Fauci, who mused, “Relatively soon is an interesting phrase. Relative to the entire history of Earth? Sure, the vaccine is going to come real fast (sic).”
    He also cleared up a remark the Republican leader had made about how he and his administration had done an “incredible job” handling the pandemic, while declaring COVID-19 would “disappear one day, like a miracle.”
    “A miracle is great. Who doesn’t like miracles?” the actor quipped, adding, “Miracles shouldn’t be Plan A.”

    After throwing a few more jabs at the controversial real estate tycoon and reality star-turned-world leader, Pitt removed his disguise and returned to his normal voice as he shared a message of thanks to essential workers.
    “To the real Dr. Fauci, thank you for your calm and your clarity in this unnerving time,” he said. “And thank you to the medical workers, first responders, and their families, for being on the frontline.”
    Pitt’s participation in the monologue emerges weeks after Fauci himself joked about having the Oscar winner portray him on a future episode of SNL.
    Quizzed about the prospect on CNN recently, the 79 year old replied, “Oh, Brad Pitt, of course.”
    “SNL” producers debuted their first At Home episode on April 11 when Tom Hanks returned to TV for the first time since beating the coronavirus.
    Coldplay’s Chris Martin served as the musical guest for that instalment while Miley Cyrus covered Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” for this weekend’s show, which also featured cameos by Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, and Paul Rudd.

    Disney World Brings Iconic Fireworks Show Online Amid Lockdown

    Disney World

    Bosses at Disney Parks have decided to stream Happily Ever After fireworks show for families around the world to enjoy at home amid the ongoing coronavirus lockdown.
    Apr 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Disney Parks bosses are bringing the magic of the beloved attractions to people’s homes with a new recording of one of their iconic fireworks displays.
    While Walt Disney World is closed indefinitely and it’s not clear when the parks will reopen, fans can now experience one of the attraction’s best-loved spectacles in their own homes every night.
    Theme park chiefs have put a professionally filmed version of the Happily Ever After fireworks show on YouTube and other social platforms for fans around the world to watch.
    “Fill the skies above your home with some pixie dust. With some modern-day magic we are taking you to the best seat in the house, right in front of Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World Resort. Watch as the castle you know, becomes a canvas for the stories of some of your favourite characters. And just like our characters’ stories, things will turn out to be happily ever after!” company bosses said in a statement.

    The clip is part of the #DisneyMagicMoments campaign, which aims to bring the magic of the theme parks to fans at home amid the coronavirus lockdown period.
    According to the Los Angeles Times, Swiss bank UBS told its clients that Disney Parks will likely wait until January 1, 2021 to reopen the North American attractions, explaining “the lingering effects of the outbreak… will dramatically reduce the profitability of these businesses even after they’ve reopened until a vaccine is widely available.”
