    ABC/Gavin Bond

    In the new episode of the ABC singing competition show, the remaining contestants hit the stage in Hawaii to earn the coveted 12 spots left in the Top 20.
    Apr 6, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “American Idol” returned with a new episode on Sunday, April 5. In the new episode, the remaining contestants hit the stage in Hawaii to earn the coveted 12 spots left in the Top 20.
    Dillon James opened the show with a performance Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are a-Changin’ ” and it was totally stunning, enough to convince the judges that Dillon was worth to be put in the Top 20. Genavieve Lincowski, however, was eliminated.
    Joining Dillon in the Top 20 was Franklin Boone, who wowed judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie with a performance of “Daughters” by John Mayer. Julia Gargano, who sang “Glitter in the Air” by Pink, and Aliana Jester also made it to the Top 20.
    Next up were Sophia Wackerman and Kimmy Gabriela. Their performances were not disappointing, so they were sent to the next round. Meanwhile, that night marked the end of Robert Taylor and Shannon Gibbons’ journey on the show.
    More singers were sent to the Top 20, including Cyniah Elise, Makayla Phillips, Lauren Spencer-Smith, Olivia Ximines and unsurprisingly frontrunner Arthur Gunn. Later, Demi Rae hit the stage to belt out a stellar performance of Noah Cyrus’ “Lonely”. However, the judges didn’t think it was Top 20 material so she was eliminated.
    That left 2 final singers–Lauren Mascitti and Grace Leer. Grace sang a rendition of Aretha Franklin’s “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman”. Meanwhile, Lauren took the stage to perform “Two More Bottles of Wine” by Emmylou Harris. The two country singers were both stunning, so the judges left the decision to the viewers through a voting.

    Voting will close on Tuesday, April 7 at 9 A.M. E.T.

    Sarah Hyland Calls 'Modern Family' Ending Disappointing

    Cosmopolitan Magazine/Kerry Hallihan

    The Haley Dunphy depicter doesn’t seem to look forwards to the upcoming final episode of her long running TV series because she’s less than impressed with the ending.
    Apr 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Sarah Hyland was disappointed with the way “Modern Family” ended for her character Haley Dunphy.
    The 29-year-old actress starred as Haley in the hit U.S. TV show from its start in 2009 to its final episode, which will air on April 8, 2020. But while fans are desperately waiting to see how the programme draws to a close, Sarah told America’s Cosmopolitan magazine that she was left somewhat deflated when she saw how it finished for her on-screen alter ego.
    Telling the publication that she wished she could have seen Haley “own her bada*sery (sic) in the fashion world – becoming a badass stylist or brand mogul or anything like that, Sarah then reflected that it would have been equally exciting to see her become a working mother after welcoming twins.”

    “There are so many amazing mothers who are also hard workers and excel at their jobs and kill it every day in both aspects,” she said. “That would have been a really cool thing to see, especially from someone like Haley.”

    'The Tonight Show': Lady GaGa and Jimmy Fallon Have the Most Awkward Phone Call Ever

    WENN

    Prior to FaceTiming with the 34-year-old singer from his home, host Jimmy Fallon teases that she’ll be making a big announcement, but she reveals that for some reasons she can’t do the interview.
    Apr 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa was among the guests in the Wednesday, April 1 episode of “The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon”. Prior to FaceTiming with the 34-year-old singer/actress from his home, host Jimmy Fallon teased that the singer would be making a big announcement.
    Once he was connected with GaGa, Jimmy excitedly said, “Hi! Lady GaGa!” The “A Star Is Born” was seen wearing smart makeup while sporting dark-rimmed glasses. She seemed to be busy as she awkwardly greeted, “Hi everyone!”
    Jimmy then asked her, “You have a big, maybe announcement you’re going to say tonight on our show?” However, GaGa revealed for some reasons she couldn’t do the interview, let alone making an announcement. “I can’t Jimmy. I, uh, can’t talk right now. I’m sorry. It’s just a really, really weird time,” she said.
    “Hello? Jimmy I can’t see you. Am I on TV?” the “Poker Face” hitmaker asked, to which Jimmy responded,”Yeah, you’re on TV. I apologize.” Jimmy appeared to try pressing about the announcement, saying, “There’s something very big you’re working on that’s going to help people right now.”
    GaGa, however, insisted that she just couldn’t do it at the time. “I cant..I can’t tell you everything right now because I’m still ironing out the details and I have a lot of phone calls to make,” she told Jimmy. She then suggested him to call her again on Friday, much to Jimmy’s confusion.

    As if the situation wasn’t weird enough, GaGa suddenly asked Jimmy to reschedule their interview on Monday. Despite feeling confused, Jimmy agreed to the proposition. “So I guess it’s Monday. Monday is when we will find out the big news from Lady GaGa. Not today, Wednesday, no. Not Friday, nope. Next Monday is when we’ll find out the big news from Lady GaGa. Thank you, GaGa. I cannot wait to find out what you’re brewing. It’s going to be fun,” Jimmy concluded.
