      Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Adam Sandler Join 'Saturday Night Live' Tribute to Late Hal Willner

      by

      NBC

      Days after the music producer passed away from symptoms consistent with the coronavirus, cast members past and present come together virtually to honor his memory.
      Apr 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Saturday Night Live” stars including Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Adam Sandler joined forces this weekend to pay a touching tribute to the show’s late music producer Hal Willner.
      The Pennsylvania native passed away on 7 April, after reportedly suffering from symptoms consistent with the coronavirus, and during Saturday’s, April 11, remotely-filmed show, comedy castmembers past and present came together virtually to honour his memory.
      Kate McKinnon opened the segment by telling viewers, “The music becomes such an integral part of the sketch that you kind of don’t notice it, but without it, it wouldn’t make any sense.
      “On SNL, the guy who scores it only has a few hours. The guy’s name is Hal Willner and we lost him this week.”

      Sandler then appeared onscreen from his home, saying, “We are going to miss you so damn much,” while Kenan Thompson added, “We’re going to miss his presence and passing him in the hallways.”
      Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, John Mulaney, and Pete Davidson also shared their fond memories of Willner, who joined the SNL crew in 1980, before the likes of Fey, Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, and Molly Shannon joined the tribute to deliver a group rendition of Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day”.

      The SNL special, the first new episode to air since the sketch comedy series suspended production in March amid the COVID-19 pandemic, also featured coronavirus survivor Tom Hanks as the surprise guest host, along with surprise cameos from Larry David and Alec Baldwin, who reprised their respective roles as former U.S. presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders and incumbent leader Donald Trump.

      'RHOBH' Star Erika Jayne Defends Brandi Glanville Amid Denise Richards Hookup Rumors

      by

      Instagram

      The hookup rumors started when the ‘RHOBH’ cast went on a trip to Rome in late November 2019 where the ladies confronted Denise about a possible affair with Brandi.
      Apr 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Denise Richards keeps denying Brandi Glanville’s claims that they used to hook up when she’s still married to husband Aaron Phypers. One of them must be lying, and their “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” co-star Erika Jayne thinks that it is definitely not Brandi.
      “I know Brandi through Yolanda [Hadid] and I know that Yolanda always thought Brandi was truthful and my interactions with Brandi have been very straightforward and I don’t think that she has a reason to say something this impactful if in fact it was not true,” Erika shared to HollywoodLife.com. “There’s no way she’s pulling it out of thin air. I’ll just tell you that.”
      However, Erika had no idea what actually happened between the two. “I don’t know what actually happened. You know so there are two sides to every story,” she elaborated. “So Denise has got her side and Brandi has got her side. I don’t know how Denise is going to, or, if Denise is even going to want to talk about it. I don’t know what happened. I don’t know what Denise has said in her interviews about the whole thing.”
      “I don’t know if it’ll be about her being in a relationship with Brandi or whether she said these things about it. I really don’t know what happened,” the 48-year-old Bravo personality continued.
      The hookup rumors started when the “RHOBH” cast went on a trip to Rome in late November 2019. The ladies confronted Denise about a possible affair with Brandi, and further fueling the speculations, Denise has not been wearing her wedding ring since the alleged Brandi hookup story broke.
      Denise, however, denied the rumors as a rep for her said that “the story isn’t true.” Meanwhile, Brandi appeared to break silence on the rumors as she wrote a cryptic post on Instagram on January 9. “When you want to respond but are not ‘allowed’ to…,” so she captioned a snap of herself laughing and looking zen on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen”.
      The 47-year-old fueled the speculations with a not-so-PG tweet directed to Denise on February 3. It started after Denise took to her Twitter account to ask her online devotees for help to decide a new tag line for her for the new season of the Bravo reality show. “Any good tag lines for me for #rhobh ?!? And no… I did not quit,” she tweeted. Later, Brandi appeared to respond to it in a now-deleted post that read, “I might be married to a man but I am still allowed to eat p***y.’ ”

      Carole Baskin Furious With 'Tiger King' Filmmakers After Becoming Target of Death Treats

      by

      In her first interview since the documentary debuted on Netflix, the animal rights activist reveals that she has had to turn her phone off which she used to field calls from emergency services.
      Apr 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Animal rights activist Carole Baskin is furious with “Tiger King” documentary makers because she has become the target of death threats following her portrayal on the hit Netflix series.
      The true crime saga, titled “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness”, focuses on incarcerated Oklahoma zoo boss Joe Exotic and his plot to kill his bitter rival Baskin, who runs a big cat rescue facility in the state, but it also shines a light on the 1997 disappearance of her second husband, multi-millionaire Jack ‘Don’ Lewis.
      No one was ever charged with his murder, but he was declared legally dead in 2002.
      Florida-based Carole claims the completed series is not what she initially signed up for, because all she ever wanted to highlight was the abuse suffered by animals in the captive tiger trade, and instead, she feels duped into appearing onscreen.
      In her first interview since “Tiger King” debuted on Netflix on 20 March, Carole tells the Tampa Bay Times, “I just feel so angry that people have totally missed the point. And the point is these cubs are being abused and exploited and the public is enabling that.”
      Her third husband, Howard Baskin, adds, “There’s almost no way to describe the intensity of feeling of betrayal (sic).”
      Carole claims the show has turned her into a public hate figure, subjected to harassment and even death threats, making her too scared to leave her home or answer her cell phone, through which she used to field calls from emergency services regarding help for injured big cats.
      “I’ve had to turn my phone off,” the 58-year-old says. “I can’t tell the real ones (calls) from the fake ones because they’re always out of state numbers anyway.”
      In “Tiger King”, Exotic accuses Carole of killing Lewis and feeding him to her tigers, allegations she firmly denies, and while she is not considered to be a suspect in her ex’s death, local police have reopened the cold case in the hopes fans of the show will provide them with new leads.
      The Baskins’ interview emerges as fans sink their teeth into a new bonus episode of “Tiger King”, in which actor and TV personality Joel McHale interviews people who appeared on the docu-series.
      The “Tiger King and I” was released on Sunday (April 12), and features chats with the likes of John Finlay, Erik Cowie and Kelci Saffery.

      'Friends' Cast to Air Special 'Rehearsal' Ahead of Official Reunion

      by

      Instagram

      An online meeting where the cast are discussing ideas for the upcoming HBO reunion is expected to air to tide fans over until the coronavirus outbreak dies down.
      Apr 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The eagerly-anticipated “Friends” reunion special could take place virtually over video conference app Zoom, according to new reports.
      Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer had all been due to make their sitcom comeback on the HBO Max show, which had been scheduled to launch at the same time as the new streaming service, where subscribers will be able to find all of the classic comedy’s original episodes.
      However, Hollywood’s shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic has derailed production, officials have confirmed to Deadline.com.

      While the new premiere date has yet to be revealed, reports have suggested that Courteney and reunion director Ben Winston have captured footage through Zoom, which be turned into a special additional episode to tide fans over until pandemic restrictions are lifted.
      “As soon as filming was cancelled, everyone started panicking as it took so long to get their schedules to align, there was a deep fear it may take a year or even longer to get them all back together again,” a source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper.
      “Courteney immediately set up a Zoom meeting for them and they all logged on to discuss ideas – brain-storming and bringing in the producers for a session which they called a mock rehearsal and chatted for almost two hours,” they said. “Their Zoom sessions have been brilliant fun, and there’s some hilarious material on there which they hope can be aired as either a series of teasers, or even a stand-alone special.”
      LeBlanc previously suggested the gang had managed to regroup and film the one-off special before the Covid-19, telling “The Kelly Clarkson Show”, “(It was) the six of us together, talking about the good old days.”
      “Friends” aired for 10 seasons, concluding its decade-long run in 2004.

      The onscreen sizzling relationship between the ‘Poker Face’ singer and her ‘A Star Is Born’ love interest has sparked inspirations for a new dating show.
      Apr 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa and Bradley Cooper’s movie romance “A Star Is Born” inspired the new “The Bachelor” TV spin-off, according to the show’s longtime host Chris Harrison.
      The brains behind “The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart”, which begins on Monday, April 13, 2020, came up with the idea while watching Gaga and Cooper’s performance at the Oscars in 2019, and now Harrison wants the “Poker Face” star to appear on the new dating show.
      “She was the inspiration for this show,” Harrison tells Us Weekly. “I mean, A Star Is Born, Gaga, Bradley Cooper that moment at the Oscars, when I thought they were just going to have sex on stage. Could we create that kind of chemistry? Could we do that with The Bachelor?”
      The new programme features 20 single musicians looking for love. “All these musicians come from crazy walks of life,” Harrison adds. “Some people have been grinding at this for forever. (There’s) one of the guys that was just on American Idol, someone came out of their church choir, musical theatre, you name it. They all want that relationship.”
