    Courteney Cox Spills Real Reason Behind Decision to Binge-Watch 'Friends' Amid Coronavirus Crisis

    WENN

    Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel’s Quarantine Minilogue series on YouTube, the actress famous as Monica Geller on the hit sitcom loses a trivia quiz against the host’s young cousin.
    Mar 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Courteney Cox is brushing up on her “Friends” trivia while isolating amid the coronavirus pandemic, as she “doesn’t remember even being on the show.”
    The actress appeared on the hit sitcom alongside Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry from 1994 to 2004, and is set to reunite with her co-stars for an HBO Max TV reunion special later this year.
    Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel for his “Quarantine Minilogue” series on YouTube, the star revealed that she’s decided to revisit the series because of how little she remembers and how often people want to talk to her about the programme.
    “I keep getting asked all these questions about ‘Friends’. But I don’t remember even being on the show. I have such a bad memory,” she confessed. “I remember, obviously, loving everybody there and having fun. I remember certain times in my life when I was there, but I don’t remember episodes. I would never pass, I’d fail every test.”
    The actress bought the entire series on Amazon Prime Video, and decided to rewatch the whole thing from the very beginning.
    “I decided during this time, since people love the show so much, I decided to binge-watch ‘Friends’,” she explained. “I just started season one. It’s really good!”
    Jimmy then challenges Courteney to a trivia quiz, pitting her against his young cousin, Anthony, who’s a self-proclaimed “Friends” fanatic. However, Anthony was unaware he’d be playing against the star of the show and, when he appears via video link, he’s thrilled to see his opponent.
    “This is the greatest moment of my life,” Anthony said while laughing in disbelief.
    Ultimately, Courteney was left blushing as Anthony beat her five points to zero in the game – which focused entirely on her character Monica.

    Jenelle Evans Compares Her 'Unfair' 'Teen Mom' Firing With Amber Portwood's Situation

    Instagram

    This arrives after it is rumored that Jenelle is returning to ‘Teen Mom 2′, though the former cast member of the MTV show reveals in a YouTube video that there is no confirmation of that so far.
    Mar 26, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jenelle Evans is addressing her departure from “Teen Mom 2”, calling it “unfair” considering how MTV treats former co-star Amber Portwood. In an interview with HollywoodLife.com, the 28-year-old TV personality shares, “I have spoken with my old producers many times about this. They still claim I was not fired’ but ‘let go for a season.’ ”
    “As for the Amber situation they said, ‘well Amber didn’t leave a paper trail for what she did,’ whatever that means,” Jenelle, who was fired from the reality TV show after shooting scandal involving David Eason, went on to add. “I am guessing they are still holding me responsible for my husband’s actions, even though I did not do anything wrong.”
    “David wasn’t ever charged with any sort of crime, but Amber was and left a paper trail through Ring Cameras in her house that were released online,” Jenelle added, referencing the video of Amber and Andrew Glennon fighting that led to Amber being arrested for domestic battery. “Amber showed her sword to the public online and bragged that it says ‘Mother Goddess’ after the incident with Andrew occurred.”
    “Over the years MTV has filmed me on drugs, giving custody of my son to my mom, filmed while in dangerous situations and they never cared because they always got their ratings,” Jenelle went on adding. “I don’t understand what’s worse than my past that is currently happening now. My story just stopped and fans still want to follow my journey. I feel chewed up and spit out.”
    Concluding the interview, she shared that she’s moving on. “I can go on and on but I’m moving forward with my life and have other opportunities/projects I’m focusing on. My team is awesome now and wouldn’t trade them for the world,” she said.
    Prior to this, there were rumors of her returning to “Teen Mom 2”. Shutting down the speculations, she revealed in a YouTube video that there was no confirmation that she would get back on the show. However, Jenelle admitted that she’s been in talks with people in connection with something.
    “I have no idea about ‘Teen Mom’ and I have no idea about my own show, but I know I’ve been in talks with certain people here or there,” she told her fans.

    Instagram

    Lamar announced his new show in a video which he posted on his Instagram account over the weekend with Sabrina Parr sharing in the clip that the new show would reveal their ‘true love.’
    Mar 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Wendy Williams returned with a new YouTube video for her online talk show “Wendy @ Home”. On Tuesday, March 24, the 55-year-old TV personality discussed many things including Lamar Odom and his fiancee Sabrina Parr’s newly-announced digital series.
    “Lamar and Sabrina, nobody care’s about y’all’s relationship,” Wendy said of the couple’s upcoming show in parnertship with For Us By Us Network that is scheduled to air on Hot New Hip Hop in spring. “Sabrina is a life coach but she’s got a whole bunch of arrest pictures at the police precinct.”
    “And Lamar says he’s a sex addict and they say they don’t want to have sex until they get married. You know what, I feel dirty doing the story,” she continued putting the couple on a blast.

    Lamar announced his new show in a video which he posted on his Instagram account over the weekend. Sabrina shared in the clip that the new show would reveal their “true love,” before adding, “[It’s] about imperfect people but the point is we love each other and we fought really hard for this relationship and we’re still here.”
    “Come rock with us and watch us put all the speculations to rest. New Series coming Spring 2020 exclusively on @forusbyusnetwork @hotnewhiphop Executive Producers @lamarOdom @Getuptoparr @RobertoRushEvans @sashadelvalle,” Lamar captioned it.

    This is not the first time for Wendy to diss Lamar and Sabrina, who announced their surprise engagement in November 2019, much to Lamar’s 17-year-old son’s surprise. “By yesterday morning, Lamar Jr. went on the gram and apologized, saying that he was emotional and caught off guard also that he has nothing but love for his dad,” she said. “But here’s the thing, at the very least you’re supposed to make big announcements about your life to your family, behind the scenes. And then you go in front of the scenes and you talk about stuff. But, these are his two kids.”
    Since it appeared that Lamar didn’t tell any of his family members before making the announcement, Wendy felt that Lamar Jr. had all the right to feel upset. “I agree with Lamar Jr., and good for you young man to take it down, but you don’t have to. I understand what you’re saying,” she said. Later on, Wendy gushed over the “beautiful” ring that Lamar got for her now-fiancee Sabrina.

    'LHH' Star Sierra Gates Attacks and Grabs Karlie Redd's Hair in Heated Argument

    Instagram

    This starts after Karlie fails to show up to Sierra’s court date to testify to vouch for her amid the latter’s legal trouble as she’s accused of attacking her ex-husband Shooter’s other pregnant baby mama.
    Mar 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” season 9 opens with a thick tension between cast members Sierra Gates and Karlie Redd. Sierra was facing legal troubles after she was accused of attacking her ex-husband Shooter’s other pregnant baby mama while at the funeral of Shooter’s teenaged son last year. Karlie promised to testify on the court to defend her, but for some reasons Karlie didn’t show up to Sierra’s court date to testify on her behalf.
    It appeared that her car was stuck in traffic when she was on the way to her co-star’s court date. However, someone tipped Sierra off that Karlie never had intentions to come and vouch for her. She confronted Karlie at her party and that ensued an altercation between the two with Karlie threatening to renege on her testimony.
    “It’s not about you! This is about me!” Sierra yelled. Karlie then responded, “Keep that same energy because I know that you need me to be there.”
    Sierra fired back, “I don’t need you to do a motherf***in’ thing! I got a great lawyer. I’mma keep that energy! Don’t ever think I need you, ’cause that’s where you got me f***ed up! I love you enough to not whoop yo’ a**! Karlie, get yo’ a** up out of here!…I got one case, I don’t wanna catch another one!”
    They kept arguing and that only escalated when Sierra started to physically attack Karlie. She put her hand on Karlie’s face. Others were trying to separate them but at one point, Sierra grabbed a handful of Karlie’s hair.

    Viewers seemingly were siding with Karlie on this case. “The problem is that Sierra heard sum he say, she say s**t and actually believed it. A real friend would’ve came and talked to their friend to get their side of the story,” an Instagram user said. One other commented, “Sierra did tooooo much. Karlie didnt deserve that.”
    Meanwhile, someone believed that Sierra was highly likely to get another case with how her behaved. “So this is how you prove that you didn’t first throw punch at your ex bby mada ok. Let tbe judge see this before n see if you would have been freed of the charges,” another comment read.

    Katy Perry Sends Supportive Words to 'American Idol' Hopeful Suffering Seizure

    ABC

    The ‘Roar’ hitmaker tweets that Makayla Brownlee has nothing to be embarrassed about after being moved to tears watching the aspiring singer beautifully covered Kacey Musgraves’ ‘Rainbow’.
    Mar 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “American Idol” judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie rushed to the aid of contestant Makayla Brownlee after she abruptly walked off stage and fell to the ground backstage during her Hollywood Week audition.
    During Monday’s episode of the TV talent contest, the singer took the stage for her solo performance in front of the famous trio, but cut her performance short and swiftly left the stage.
    After collapsing to the ground, Perry, Bryan and Richie ran over to see what was happening, at which point on-site medical personnel were attending to Brownlee, and ambulances were called as she began to have a seizure.
    “In seventh grade, I was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope,” Brownlee explained of the long-term ailment that she’s been dealing with for years, in an interview shot after the incident. “It’s a heart condition that causes me to react to stress differently than other people, and it could cause a seizure.”
    “She can’t control it. She’s embarrassed, but physically, she’s 100 percent all right,” her father added. “This opportunity is so important for her. I’d hate to see it inhibited in any way because she’s such a good singer. She works so hard at it.”
    Although it was unclear whether or not Brownlee would be able to return to perform, she later made her triumphant return, much to the excitement of the judges.
    “Let’s try this again,” a noticeably calmer Brownlee told the judges with a smile, as Perry supportively replied, “You got this!”

    The aspiring star went on to wow the judges with a powerful performance of Kacey Musgraves’ “Rainbow”, with “Roar” star Perry reduced to tears as she explained that Brownlee’s condition really puts things in perspective when it comes to being stressed out or tired, as they put her through to the next round.
    “Nothing to be embarrassed about, #MakaylaBrownlee. We all handle stress differently,” the pop star wrote on Twitter as the episode was broadcast. “That was the sweetest performance of ‘Rainbow’ #MakalylaBrownlee. So thrilled you were able to come back and sing for us and give us that perspective we need to be reminded of sometimes.”
