    Sheldon Cooper Appears to Have Coronavirus in Old Episode of 'The Big Bang Theory'

    CBS

    The alleged Coronavirus prediction also appeared in an episode of the show’s spin-off ‘Young Sheldon’ as Sheldon is seen watching news on TV about a flu virus that’s originating from China.
    Apr 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – People are freaking out after finding out that an old episode of “The Big Bang Theory” might have predicted the existence of Coronavirus. The popular sitcom previously aired an episode which saw Sheldon Cooper being admitted to hospital because he had been exposed to something that was believed to be Coronavirus.
    In a video that circulated online, Sheldon (Jim Parsons) could be seen stopping Raj Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar) from joining him during lunch because he was sneezing. Elsewhere in the video, he was seen at a hospital before going inside a room where an apparent patient with an infectious diseases was being isolated.
    When he was about to go out, the paramedic surrounding the patient stopped him from going because he “has been exposed.” That led him to stay at the hospital. His friends were wearing hazmat suit and full-body protection while visiting him.
    The alleged Coronavirus prediction also appeared in an episode of the show’s spin-off “Young Sheldon”. Young Sheldon (Iain Armitage), who claimed to be germaphobe, packed his things up and was ready to leave the class after his teacher sneezed right in front of everyone. “Where do you think you are going?” the teacher asked, to which Sheldon replied while covering his mouth and nose with his arm, “away from you.” The teacher continued, “Why is that?” and Shelton told her it was because he wanted to live.
    Later, he was seen watching news on TV about a flu virus that was originating from China. “Children and the elderly are almost at risk,” said the news anchor.

    This is similar to COVID-19 that put the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions at the higher risk. Research is showing that adults at the age of 60 and older, especially with heart disease, lung disease, diabetes or cancer are more likely to have severe coronavirus infection than other age groups. Some cases even lead to death.

    TLC

    ‘We’re humbled and pleased they’ve opened their hearts and homes to TLC audiences during this unprecedented time,’ Howard Lee, president and general manager of TLC, says in a statement.
    Apr 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Coronavirus pandemic seemingly gives TLC an idea to create a new spin-off for its popular reality TV series “90 Day Fiance”. On Thursday, April 2, the network announced “90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined”, a limited series that features cast members from across the reality series franchise filming themselves during self-isolation.
    “For the couples featured across the ’90 Day Fiance’ franchise, their relationships have been tested by distance, cultural and religious differences, skeptical families, language barriers and much more. Now, like the rest of the world, their lives and love are facing an unfathomable challenge of the global coronavirus pandemic,” TLC said in a press release.
    “Over the past six years, TLC has traversed 34 countries around the globe to capture couples as they’ve battled distance and obstacles along their path to love, but like the rest of us, they’ve never endured a challenge quite like this,” Howard Lee, president and general manager of TLC, said in a statement.
    He added, “So many fans have been curious about how their favorite couples and individuals are holding up during the crisis, so we’ve asked them to self-film and share their lives in quarantine with all of us. Their stories hold a lens to the world, from anxiety and cabin fever to laughter and inspiration. We’re humbled and pleased they’ve opened their hearts and homes to TLC audiences during this unprecedented time.”
    Lee assured that everyone will still practice social distancing while working. “Our crew is not near them physically at all. They will be helping them remotely,” he explained. However, since the footage was filmed by the cast members themselves, Lee noted that this series may ‘look very hot-off-the-press. It will look like the paint has not dried. I think our audience is incredibly forgiving right now, and I’m hoping that they accept the way it looks. It will be messy!”
    Among the returning couples are Darcey and Jesse, Pedro and Chantel, Colt and Debbie, Corey and Evelin, Tiffany and Ronald, Narkyia and Lowo as well as Brett and Daya. Joining them are Benjamin and Akinyi, Patrick, Elizabeth and Andrei, Anna and Mursel and more.
    The five-episode limited series is set to premiere on Monday, April 20 at 9 P.M. on TLC.

    'KUWTK': Kim Shows Off Bloody Scratches Following Intense Fight With Kourtney Kardashian

    Instagram

    The physical altercation leads the mom of three to a decision of taking ‘big step back from filming’ as she will ‘really just pick and choose what I will allow cameras to follow.’
    Apr 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The new episode of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” picked up where things left off in the last episode. The physical fight between sisters Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian escalated quickly with Kim coming at Kourtney only to get slapped.
    The SKIMS founder attacked her back and the brawl continued, much to Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner’s shock. The two were finally separated, with Kourtney crying. Khloe approached her and blasted her for acting so violent, making Kourtney angrier because she felt like Khloe was taking Kim’s side.
    “It’s not a positive environment for me to want to be in every day,” Kourtney said in a confessional. “They’re so critical of me. Every day I’m like… why am I choosing to be in this environment? I think I just reached the point of not being able to tolerate it anymore.”

    Kourtney eventually decided to leave Khloe’s house. Meanwhile, Kim and Khloe stayed behind and called their mom Kris Jenner to fill her in on what happened. Additionally, Kim sent Kris some photos featuring bloody scratches she sustained from the fight.

    Kim had red scratches in her arm after the brawl with Kourtney Kardashian.
    Kourtney later was seen meeting up with Malika Haqq and Khadijah Haqq. “Every day they just pick on me and I just can’t do it anymore,” she told them while in tears. “I’m almost more mad at Khloe than Kim. I expect it from Kim, but Khloe takes everyone’s side except for me when I’m not even asking her opinion.”

    Kim’s back was also injured.
    The two suggested Kourtney to take a break from “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” if it wasn’t bringing her happiness. Taking the advice well, the mom of three later announced that she had “decided to take a big step back from filming and really just pick and choose what I will allow cameras to follow.” She went on reveal, “I think now, when I have something I find is interesting to film, or I would feel excited to film, I do that. For now, I’m just going to take control of my schedule back. I just want to feel fulfilled and happy. Life is too short.”
    Later in the episode, Kourtney admitted that she regretted attacking Kim. “I’m disappointed in myself,” Kourtney said. “I don’t think my response was matching up with what her exact comment was. Being violent is never the answer.”

    'Black Ink Crew': Ceaser Emanuel Confronts Ryan Henry in Heated Argument

    Instagram

    However, the 9MAG owner feels that Ceaser is acting too sensitive about the whole situation, before alluding that Caesar is unnecessarily blowing things out of proportion.
    Apr 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Ceaser Emanuel and Ryan Henry’s tension escalated in the latest episode of “Black Ink Crew: Chicago”. The two, who had been beefing over Ceaser’s ex-girlfriend Kitty, were having a tense confrontation after Ceaser was mad for being the butt of their private jokes. However, Ryan insisted that it wasn’t a big deal.
    Ryan told Ceaser that he was acting too sensitive about the situation, and that he was unnecessary blowing things out of proportion. Even though they managed to avoid getting physical, Ceaser made it clear that he had no intention of being in friendly terms with Ryan anytime soon.
    The confrontation seemingly led Ceaser to announce his plan on opening a Black Ink shop in the heart of Chicago to rival Ryan’s 9Mag. Ryan appeared to fire back at Ceasar in a cryptic Instagram post in which he wrote, “… Ahhhhhh youngsta… … when the hate don’t work, they start telling lies… Welcome to Chicago’#9MAG.”

    This arrived after Tati spread rumors of Kitty sleeping with Ryan. Not taking the rumors well, Caesar was livid. “The audacity of this motherf***er,” Caesar said in the midseason trailer of the show.
    “I was his friend, I was his mentor, and you got the nerve to mess with one of my exes and throw it in my face. Man, f**k that! It wouldn’t be no 9MAG without Ceaser, yo!”
    Kitty herself was feuding with Tati, who felt betrayed by Kitty’s move from “Black Ink Crew: New York” to “Black Ink Crew: Chicago”. The Korean tattoo artist allegedly punched Kitty in the face and the two continued fighting in front of camera. The face-punching seemingly took place after the altercation.
