    'The View' Alum Paula Faris Denies Meltdown and Whoopi Goldberg Beef

    Instagram

    Unlike what had been reported, Paula shares in her new book that she and Whoopi had a mature talk with Whoopi about her decision to ‘step back’ from the morning show back in 2016.
    Apr 22, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “The View” co-host Paula Faris has set the record straight about the rumors surrounding her exit from “The View” back in 2018. The 44-year-old detailed her departure in her new memoir “Called Out: Why I Traded Two Dream Jobs for a Life of True Calling” which was released on Tuesday, April 21.
    Addressing the alleged beef she had with former co-host Whoopi Goldberg, Paula said, “The writer (whom I refuse to call a journalist) spun a fantastical tale about how I’d been told I was being cut in my dressing room, how I’d lost my cool and blamed Whoopi.”
    “And though the article wasn’t true, though I hadn’t had a dressing-room meltdown and hadn’t blamed Whoopi for any of it, none of that mattered. The tabloids had set the narrative,” she went on speaking of the 2016 Daily Mail report.
    Unlike what had been reported, Paula shared that she and Whoopi had a mature talk about her decision to “step back” from the morning show, adding that Whoopi “understood” her decision.
    “I muscled my way through the rest of the convention and cried myself all the way back to New York,” Paula wrote in her book, recalling the times when reports that Whoopi was “elated” that Paula was “axed” from the show hit the web. “I considered my potential failure on ‘The View’, and that’s when the fear came. In fact, the fear seemed to metastasize, to shapeshift, to turn into something more like a reality. I didn’t wonder whether I was a failure; I knew I was.”
    However, Paula admitted that she used to be having a tension with Whoopi, saying that “there was a growing disconnect between my amazing co-hosts (all of whom I still love) and me.”
    Seemingly blaming her non-partisan stance for the tension, Paula said, “Show after show, the tension mounted. Co-hosts were agitated as I avoided taking sides during interviews, discussions of current events, and political debates. After each taping of the view, I returned to my dressing room fully aware that I was the odd woman out.”

    Will Smith Sits Down with Dr. Fauci to Clear Up Myths About Coronavirus

    Instagram

    The ‘Men in Black’ actor has landed an exclusive interview with the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci, for his new Snapchat series ‘Will From Home’.
    Apr 22, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Will Smith has landed a Snapchat exclusive with America’s coronavirus star Dr. Anthony Fauci.
    The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases agreed to sit down with the movie star and discuss the ongoing pandemic with a view to clearing up some myths about COVID-19 for kids.
    Smith launched his 12-episode series, “Will From Home”, on Snapchat earlier this month, April 2020, and has so far hooked up with stars like Tyra Banks and members of the public who are also staying home due to social distancing guidelines.
    And, in his next broadcast, the “Men in Black” star will ask Dr. Fauci questions about the coronavirus he has received from kids.
    “There’s been a predominance in the African-American community. Is there a comprehension as to why that is?” he asks the medical expert in a teaser clip, prompting Fauci to respond, “It’s just one of the failings of our society… African-Americans have a disproportionate prevalence and incidence of the very co-morbid conditions that put you at high risk.”
    Meanwhile, one sweet young fan, called Ava, asked Fauci if the tooth fairy could catch the coronavirus, prompting the doctor to assure her that she didn’t need to worry about such things. Another fan also asked Fauci if she could go out for a walk.
    And there was a real lift for viewers as one teen user asked Fauci if COVID-19 was something she’d be fighting for the rest of her life.
    “When we have a vaccine and we have enough baseline immunity, this is not something you’re gonna have to worry about for the rest of your life,” he explained.
    “Will From Home” airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on Snapchat.

    Coronavirus Shutdown Puts Taraji P. Henson in the Dark on How 'Empire' Will End

    FOX

    While believing showrunners will ‘make some kinda movie magic in the editing room’, the Cookie Lyon depicter regrets never having the chance to say a proper goodbye to the cast and crew.
    Apr 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Taraji P. Henson no longer has any idea how the final season of “Empire” is going to end, after the cast and crew were forced to shut down the set halfway through the penultimate episode.
    The actress, who portrays Cookie Lyon on the TV drama, admits she knew exactly how the series would conclude until producers decided to work with what they had when the coronavirus forced them to close the set last month (March).
    “We were slated to do 20 episodes and… we were in the middle of 19th episode when everything got shut down,” she tells “The Talk”, “so I used to know how the show was going to end, but they’re gonna make some kinda movie magic in the editing room.”
    “They’re gonna take all the footage they have already and come up with some kind of finale and I know it’s gonna be incredibly brilliant.”
    Taraji admits the worst thing about the shut down is she never got the chance to say a proper goodbye to the cast and crew.
    “I bought them amazing Letterman sweaters – that’s my gift to them – because it was our senior year,” she adds, “and I’m really heartbroken and I love to play Santa… and I’m not there to do it.”

    “They’re gonna get them, but it’s not the way I wanted to give them out.”

    Melissa McCarthy Shows Off 'Hardcore' Renovation Skills on 'Celebrity OUI'

    WENN

    In the new episode of the HGTV show, the ‘Life of the Party’ actress gets down and dirty as she teams up with the ‘Property Brothers’ stars to remodel her police officer aunt and uncle’s home.
    Apr 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Melissa McCarthy was not only a Hollywood star, but also a thoughtful niece with a “hardcore” home renovation skills. Joining “Property Brothers” stars Drew Scott and Jonathan Scott in a new episode of “Celebrity IOU”, the “Life of the Party” actress gave back to her aunt Connie and uncle Jim by surprising them with a remodeling of their Chicago house.
    In the Monday, April 20 episode, the 49-year-old actress/comedienne could be seen getting help from her cousin, Jenna, who is the daughter of her aunt and uncle, as she got down and dirty. Together with the Scotts, they renovated the kitchen and created a space accessible for her uncle who is recovering from paralysis caused by an injury on the job.
    The episode, which was aired on HGTV, also saw Melissa tearing down blinds, rolling carpets and accidentally pulling down a sink. Protected by glasses and a pair of gloves, she also smashed through walls and breaking outdated furniture. “I compulsively knock down houses,” she gushed, while Drew exclaimed, “Melissa doesn’t just play a badass in some of her movies. She was hardcore!”
    On why she chose her aunt and uncle, Melissa reasoned that Connie and Jim were incredible police officers who deserved an updated home. “I have a feeling they’re going to think ‘we shouldn’t have had this, this should go to someone else.’ Which, to me, makes it all the better that it’s going to them,” she further explained.

    Melissa additionally predicted how Connie and Jim will react to their house transformation when they return from a vacation to celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary. “I think they’re going to be totally shocked, once they realize they’ve not been robbed,” she shared, before joking, “I’m hoping they’re not carrying their guns.”

    “Celebrity IOU” made its debut on HGTV last Monday on April 13 with Brad Pitt as its first guest. In the premiere episode, the “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” actor chose to transform close friend and long-time make-up artist Jean Black’s garage into a guesthouse complete with bedroom, kitchen and bathroom.

    'The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart' Recap: 3 Ladies Are Eliminated

    ABC

    In the new episode of the ‘Bachelor’ spin-off series, host Chris Harrison announces to the remaining contestants that there will be more newcomers later at the next rose ceremony.
    Apr 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart” returned with a new episode on Monday, April 20. In the second episode, there were eight men and eight women left, with Bri & Chris, Bekah & Danny and Jamie & Trevor among the solid couples. However, host Chris Harrison announced that there would be more newcomers later at the next rose ceremony.
    The episode saw Jamie getting the first date card, and she picked Trevor. They went to Venice Beach where they performed a romantic duet of “Girl Crush” on the boardwalk. Meanwhile at the mansion, first newbie Natascha arrived. Making things interesting was the fact that Natascha is friends with one of Trevor’s exes.
    She confronted Trevor as soon as he and Jamie went back at the mansion. She asked him about the cheating allegations leveled against him, but he denied. Travor claimed he never “physically cheated,” but he did “emotionally cheat” and lie. Other girls, meanwhile, told Jamie what was going on, prompting her to break down in tears.
    The next contestant to get the date card was Bri and she unsurprisingly chose Chris to go with her. They opted to go to Guitar Center and the date saw them connecting even further. At some point, Bri told Chris about her ex breaking off their engagement last year. She also said to Chris that she thought she was falling in love with him, and Chris assured her that he felt the same.
    Later, Trevor decided to come clean to Jamie about his past relationship. Jamie, who previously said to him that she was cheated on by her ex, was sad but she choose to keep the past in the past and focus on the future with Trevor.
    Julia, meanwhile, was in dilemma because of Sheridan and Brandon. Sheridan and Julia went on a date later as they appeared on a morning radio show and performed a duet of “The Bones” for the listeners. During the date, they also had a kiss.
    Another two new girls, Mariana and Ruby, arrived, with the former setting her eyes on Brandon almost immediately. Savannah was worried and when she got the next date card, she asked Brandon to go with her and he gladly accepted. They enjoyed the night at a jazz club and even performed together there.
    Meanwhile, Ryan and Natascha hit it off. Ryan and other contestant Rudi also had a steamy moment as they shared a kiss. However, Rudi didn’t think she had a chemistry with him so she went for Matt instead.
    At the rose ceremony, Chris gave his rose to Bri with Trevor giving his to Jamie. Ryan chose Natascha and Matt picked Rudi. Meanwhile, Danny went stronger with Bekah and Brandon presented his rose to Savannah. That made Sheridan choose Julia. That meant Mel, Mariana and Cheyenne were eliminated. However, it seemed like Brandon made things complicated when he told Julia that he was happy that she’s still around.
