      Bethenny Frankel Reacts to 'RHONY' Cast's Alleged 'Middle Finger' in Season Premiere

      by

      Instagram

      It appears that the Skinnygirl founder doesn’t reveal her departure plan to her Bravo show castmates, making them feel blindsided when the news of her exit ahead of season 11 hit the web on August 21, 2019.
      Apr 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Bethenny Frankel’s surprising exit from “The Real Housewives of New York City” was put as the main focus in premiere episode of season 12. Cast member Luann de Lesseps couldn’t believe the news as she exclaimed, “What? This is ridiculous!… I can’t even believe this!”
      Sharing the same sentiment, Dorinda Medley dubbed the news “ridiculous.” It appeared that Bethenny didn’t reveal her departure plan to her castmates, making them feel blindsided when Variety broke the news of her exit on August 21, 2019.
      “She never said anything about maybe not being back,” Tinsley Mortimer said in a phone call with Ramona Singer. Throwing major shades at Bethenny, Ramona responded, “I don’t know why we even have to acknowledge it. It’s so stupid.” She went on saying that they would “be better without [Bethenny] because everyone will be freer in spirit.”
      Elsewhere in the episode, Luann alluded that Bethenny’s absence wasn’t something that was entirely unpleasant for her. “It’s really hard for me to say that I’ll miss her all that much — but as they say on Broadway, the show must go on — without you,” she said.
      Speaking of the Wednesday, April 8 episode, Bethenny revealed to Extra that she perceived that episode as “the proverbial middle finger to me.” Despite everything, the 49-year-old kept it classy as she said, “The women have definitely had some unpleasant things to say about me, but I wish them well.”

      Announcing her exit, Bethenny wrote on Instagram at the time, “It’s time to move on and focus on my daughter, my philanthropy and my production partnership with Mark Burnett, producing and starring in shows which represent a shift in the conversation for women. With the changes in modern culture, I want to highlight the strength, confidence and unstoppable power that women have.”

      by

      FOX

      Night Angel and Kangaroo hit the stage for the first face-off before the loser of each face-off heads for a Smackdown at the end of the episode of the FOX singing competition show.
      Apr 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Four remaining contestants of “The Masked Singer” returned in the Wednesday, April 8 episode for head-to-head performances. The Night Angel and Kangaroo hit the stage for the first face-off.
      The Night Angel performed Shania Twain’s “Man, I Feel Like a Woman”, while the Kangaroo opted to sing “No Air” by Jordin Sparks. The panelist, who was joined by Yvette Nicole Brown that night, guessed that the Night Angel could be Taraji P. Henson, Keke Palmer or Vanessa Williams. As for the Kangaroo, the guesses included La La Anthony, Keira Knightley and Blac Chyna. The winner of the face-off was Night Angel!
      The next face-off was between the Astronaut and the Turtle. The Astronaut hit the stage to belt out Shawn Mendes’s “If I Can’t Have You”. The Turtle followed it up with a performance of James Bay’s “Let It Go”.
      The panelist thought the Astronaut was either Ben Platt, Seth Green or Austin Mahone. As for the Turtle, the panelist guessed Adam Lambert, Joey McIntyre and Niall Horan. Turtle came out as the winner of the face-off.
      Later, the Kangaroo and the Astronaut headed to the Smackdown. The Kangaroo sang Donna Summer’s “Hot Stuff” with the Astronaut performing “Bye, Bye, Bye” by NSYNC. Eventually, the Kangaroo was announced to be the singer who was eliminated. Removing her mask, the Kangaroo was revealed to be none other than Jordyn Woods!

      In an interview following the revelation, the former BFF of Kylie Jenner shared that she’d love to pursue a music career. “Definitely, this is the star of a lot. I think that now I don’t have a choice. The people want the album,” the model said.
      The “Life of Kylie” alum continued, “I was probably the person who sung the most ballads, but that works for the story and that works for me. But one of my favorite performances was the Amy Winehouse song,” referring to her performance of “You Know I’m No Good” in the previous episode.
      Talking about appearing on “The Masked Singer”, Jordyn said, “[It’s] an opportunity of a lifetime that I could not pass up. It was like living out one of my childhood fantasies. You always envision yourself performing on stage and for crowds, but you don’t think it can be a reality. This really set my childhood dreams to a reality. Although I could have never envisioned it being in a kangaroo costume.”

      'Tiger King' Becomes Netflix's Most Watched Show With 34M Viewers

      by

      Netflix

      The ‘Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness’ that revolves around the infamous tiger breeder Joe Exotic beats Netflix’s fan-favorite series ‘Stranger Things’.
      Apr 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Tiger King” has clawed its way to the top of Netflix’s viewing charts as one of the streaming service’s most watched original shows ever.
      Released last month, March 2020, “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” follows the exploits of Joe Exotic, a prolific tiger breeder, who ran a popular illegal zoo in Oklahoma.
      While the tiger lover was sentenced to 22 years in jail for plotting to kill animal rights activist Carole Baskin and other wildlife violations, the shocking programme was an instant hit with fans amid the coronavirus lockdown, having reached a U.S. TV audience of 34.3 million unique viewers within the first 10 days of its release, according to Nielsen estimates.
      The figures, registered from March 20 to 29, 2020, top those for season two of Netflix hit “Stranger Things”, which scored 31.2 million viewers, and fell only slightly behind “Stranger Things 3”, which drew 36.3 million over the comparable 10-day span.
      “Tiger King” has become a global phenomenon, with producers at 20th Century Fox reportedly in the early stages of planning a movie based on the series, with Orlando Bloom being eyed as leading man Joe.
      Several other spin-off projects are also said to be in the works – one featuring “Saturday Night Live” star Kate McKinnon, who plans to play Baskin – including a “definitive sequel” to the show set to air on the Investigation Discovery channel.
      Speaking to People magazine Joe’s former employee, Kelci ‘Saff’ Saffery, opened up on his boss’ fixation with his adversary.
      “Carole was the first thing on his mind every morning and the last thing on his mind every night,” Kelci said.
      John Finlay, Joe’s ex-husband, added, “Joe had a really bad hatred towards Carole Baskin and a lot of us knew it was going to head in a bad direction… A lot of people told him he needs to stop or slow down and think about what’s going on.”
      However, in a phone interview with Netflix from jail following the success of the show, Joe insisted he’s “done with the Carole Baskin saga” and is looking ahead to being released from prison.

      Amazon Studios Accused of Plagiarism Over 'Marvelous Mrs. Maisel'

      by

      Amazon Studios

      An author files a lawsuit against Amazon Studios, accusing them of ripping off her 2014 book for their hit web television series which is fronted by actress Rachel Brosnahan.
      Apr 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Bosses at Amazon Studios are being sued by a writer who claims the hit series “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” is torn straight from the pages of her six-year-old book.
      The popular Amazon Prime Video show is a period comedy-drama about a housewife, played by Rachel Brosnahan, in New York City in the late 1950s and early 1960s, who pursues a career in stand-up comedy after discovering she has a knack for it.
      According to Jodi Parmley, however, the series allegedly steals several different creative elements from her 2014 book, “F.I.F.I. Financial Infidelity F**k It: The Mistress of the New Millennium”.
      In papers obtained by TMZ, Jodi says she wrote the book, and then adapted a screenplay from it, which she shopped around to several studios and executives who were supposedly interested.
      While the writer doesn’t specifically say she met with Amazon as she touted her work, she implies word eventually got around to them and, once the show debuted in 2017, Jodie claims it was a carbon copy of her own work.
      She alleges Amazon ripped off the plight, stand-up routine, general plot points, and character traits from her narrative, and is seeking a cut of the profits Amazon made off the show, which has garnered critical praise and gone on to win several awards.
      The “Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” is loosely based on the life and career of esteemed comedian Joan Rivers, and debuted three years after the comedian 81-year-old died of brain damage due to a lack of oxygen when she stopped breathing during a routine procedure at Yorkville Endoscopy in New York.

      'LHH: Miami' Reunion: Trina Abruptly Leaves Following Intense Spat With Nikki Natural

      by

      VH1

      Fans think that Trina is a little bit too much with her reaction in the second part of the VH1 reality show’s season 3 reunion as one viewer notes, ‘she is so pressed over this little girl.’
      Apr 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Love & Hip Hop: Miami” returned with the second part of the reunion season 3. The new episode picked up where things were left in the latest episode, which saw Trina going up to confront Nikki Natural, who filmed in a separate room.
      Trina asked them to open the door, yelling, “Open the door!” As they refused to do so, Trina then threatened to leave the filming site. “Film the rest of the show without me, motherf***ers!”
      She wasn’t playing because she was seen going out of the studio after changing her clothes. “Let me tell you, I’m not playing with bum a** b****es. … I would drag that b***h on the show, so don’t play with me,” so she snapped. Nikki, meanwhile, laughed at the mess.
      Fellow cast member Bobby Lytes followed her outside, trying to get her back to film. “Let’s go! You’re not leaving this reunion!” he said outside Trina’s car.

      Fans, however, thought that Trina was a little bit too much with her reaction. “she is so pressed over this little girl,” one fan noted. Meanwhile, someone else said that her absence wouldn’t make a big difference. “What is the last hit Trina had? Trina is a Miami Legend but the show will go on without you,” the person wrote.
      Trina and Nikki were having a verbal fight in last week’s episode with Trina accusing Nikki of being disrespectful to her, saying, “Everyone here knows you never see me disrespect nobody.”
      Trick Daddy chimed in, “If you’re a female artist and try to make music in Miami, you can’t say nothing negative about Trina because she knows everybody.” Later, Trina was asked about her feelings after being “challenged by someone that you just want to help.”
      Referring to Nikki, Trina replied, “This woman will not be nowhere in my space. I’m not disrespectful. I give a respect to any and everybody that comes up under me. Be honest, you’re beneath me, you’re always be. Don’t ever f***ing get that twisted. … I would never give any b****es that beneath me a chance to be under me.”
      Nikki fired back as she asked, “How are you a role model? Look at you. You look like a mess.” That only further made Trina mad as she brought Nikki’s kids into the conversation, calling them “dirty a** kids.”

      “There’s no replacing Queen Julia,” she tells Entertainment Weekly, before revisiting her unforgettable encounter with the “Pretty Woman” star.
      “After we finished shooting a scene I heard this loud scream, and come to find out it was her (sic). For her to respond with excitement, literally, and to meet and hug each other, that was enough to relax me.”
