      Mar 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “American Idol” returned with a new episode on Monday, March 23. The episode marked the final night of Hollywood Week with Top 40 being announced at the end of the episode. Opening the night was Kimmy Gabriela, who sang “I’m Here” from “The Color Purple”, much to Katy Perry’s liking.
      Later, Genavieve Linkowski followed it up with a stunning rendition of “In My Blood” by Shawn Mendes. Also offering an impressive performance was Jovin Webb who belted out Chris Stapleton’s “Parachute”. Perrin York, meanwhile, managed to get Katy to sing along with her as she sang “Good as Hell” by Lizzo.
      The next singers were Faith Becnel and Jeb Vonderbruegge who performed Elmore James’ “Cry For Me Baby” and Elton John’s “Rocket Man” respectively. As for Arthur Gunn, he took the stage to once again perform the same song he sang at his auditions, “Have You Ever Seen The Rain?” He made a few alterations though, and the judges loved it.
      That night, Robert Taylor, Amelia, Jimmy Levy and Julia Gargano sang original songs but the judges were not really impressed. However that wasn’t the case for Lauren Mascitti, who earned a standing ovation for her original song “God Made a Woman”.
      Meanwhile, Makayla Brownlee, who has a heart condition that affects the way she reacts to stress, didn’t get to perform because she had to be taken to be looked by doctors. The auditions continued with a performance from Camryn Leigh Smith who sang “Always Remember Us This Way”. Devon Alexander and Lauren Spencer-Smith wowed Katy, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan with their performances. Later, Makayla returned and gave a solid performance of “Rainbow” by Kacey Musgraves.
      After a few more performances, it was time for the big reveal. The contestants were divided into three groups. Room one had Johnny West, Arthur Gunn, Sophia Wackerman, Franklin Boone, Makayla Phillips, Kimmy Gabriela, Cyniah Elise and Lauren Mascitti among others. Room two held Margie Mays, Jimmy Levy, Kat Luna, Sarah Isen and Madison Paige among others, while room three included Louis Knight, Jovin Webb, Nick Morico and Just Sam.
      Later, the judges went to room one and told them that they were heading to Hawaii as part of the Top 40. They were joined by singers in room three while the ones in room two were eliminated.

      'RHOA': NeNe Leakes Lashes Out at Producer After Storming Out During Greece Outing

      by

      Bravo

      The episode also sees Kenya leaving the filming site after being involved in huge argument with NeNe and Marlo Hampton last week with NeNe trying to spit on Kenya.
      Mar 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – A lot was happening in the Sunday, March 22 episode of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”. The episode saw Kenya Moore refusing to bury the hatchet with NeNe Leakes and Marlo Hampton after they were involved in a huge argument last week with NeNe trying to spit on Kenya.
      Kenya seemingly had enough of them as she tried to leave the filming site. Kandi Burruss tried to stop her, saying, “Stop being a person that walks away. Stop it! Kenya, you can’t just say what you wanna say and then leave!”
      “I told you don’t insult me, that’s my point,” Kenya clapped back. “I don’t have time for this s**t. The s**t I’m dealing with, I don’t have time for this s**t.”
      In her confessional, Kandi shared, “I don’t even wanna do this. I knew this is not the time, Kenya was dealing with so much stuff at home and she doesn’t really have the fight in her right now.”

      The next day, it was NeNe who threatened to leave the filming site. NeNe seemingly was offended with the other ladies playing “greek tragedy” in which they imitated each other. She excused herself to use the bathroom but the other Housewives thought that they had upset her.
      That prompted one producer to intervene and try to stop her from storming out. NeNe, however, lashed out at him and said, “Don’t f**k with me, I’m for real.” It seems like viewers will find out why NeNe was so upset in next week’s episode.
      Season 12 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” airs on Sundays at 8 P.M. on Bravo.

      'American Idol' Recap: Some Pairs Are Struggling in Duet Round of Hollywood Week

      by

      ABC

      The new episode of the NBC show sees the remaining contestants singing in duets with them choosing their own partner, though they still will be judged individually.
      Mar 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “American Idol” returned on Sunday, March 22 with a new episode featuring another night of Hollywood Week. The episode saw the remaining contestants singing in duets with them choosing their own partner. Despite going in a pair, they would be judged individually.
      The first pair to sing before judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie were Louis Knight and Francisco Martin. They opted to sing “Breakeven” by The Script but they didn’t kick it off perfectly as Francisco forgot some of the lyrics. Despite the struggle, both Louis and Francisco were moving onto the next round.
      Following it up were Hannah Prestridge and Grace Leer, singing Miranda Lambert’s “Mama’s Broken Heart”. While Grace was sent to the next round, Hannah was eliminated. Singing “Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi were Jimmy Levy and Nick Merico. The stunning performance convinced the judges to keep them in the competition.
      Isa Pena and Olivia Ximines, meanwhile, offered an impressive performance of Pink’s “Try” that unsurprisingly sent them both to the next round. Madison Paige was paired with Peyton Aldridge but they didn’t have the best chemistry. That resulted in Peyton messing up the performance, though fortunately they were given another chance to continue being on the show. They were not the only couple who struggled. Zack Dobbins and Courtney Timmons’ performance of “Dangerous Woman” by Ariana Grande failed to impress the judges and they were eliminated.
      Next up were Travis Finlay and Genavieve Linkowski, singing a beautiful rendition of “The Prayer”. The judges loved it and sent them to the next round. Real life couple, Kat Lopez and Alex Garrido, were later separated after the judges decided to only let Kat move to the next round following their duet of “You Say”.
      Margie Mays and Jonny West then took the stage to sing “Like I’m Gonna Lose You” and they were barely moving on. Joining them in the next round were Cyniah Elise & Makayla Phillips and Lauren Spencer-Smith & Makayla Brownlee. Meanwhile, Tito Rey was eliminated though his partner Robert Taylor was moving on.
      Concluding the night were Just Sam and Sheniel Masionet who put a solid performnce of Shawn Mendes’ “Mercy”. They were both moving to the next round.

      Netflix Donates $15M to TV and Movie Crews Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

      by

      According to a statement from the streaming giant, the money will go towards ‘third parties and non-profits providing emergency relief to out-of-work crew and cast in the countries where we have a large production base.’
      Mar 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Bosses at streaming giant Netflix are doing their bit to help those in the TV and film industry who have lost work because of the coronavirus pandemic with a $100 million (£86 million) support fund.
      As TV shows worldwide stop shooting as due to social distancing measures imposed in many countries to prevent the spread of Covid-19, the company is helping relieve the impact of the shutdown among its workers.
      “Most of the fund will go towards support for the hardest-hit workers on our own productions around the world,” chief content officer Ted Sarandos announced on Friday (20Mar20), with $15 million (£12.9 million) going towards “third parties and non-profits providing emergency relief to out-of-work crew and cast in the countries where we have a large production base.”
      The news comes after it was announced that Broadway producers and the unions that represent the people who work on shows have reached a temporary agreement to pay employees during the current shutdown.
      All shows on Broadway went dark on 12 March and will remain closed until at least 12 April – although it is believed that performances will not resume until May or June due to the health crisis.
      An “emergency relief agreement” was announced on Friday night, after the Broadway League negotiated with labour unions representing actors, stagehands, ushers, makeup artists, and more.
      All employees will be paid their normal salary for the first partial week of the shutdown, though anyone who makes more than the minimum salary will only get 150 per cent of their minimum salary.

      Andy Cohen Puts 'Watch What Happens Live' Home Edition on Hold After Coronavirus Diagnosis

      by

      WENN/Instar

      The host of Bravo’s talk show explains that ‘as much as I felt like I could push through whatever I was feeling to do #WWHL from home,’ his health is the top priority now.
      Mar 21, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Andy Cohen is putting his health over his show. Taking to his Instagram account on Friday, March 20 to announce that he tested positive for COVID-19, the TV host also revealed that he has postponed plans to host a home edition of “Watch What Happens Live”.
      “After a few days of self-quarantine, and not feeling great, I have tested positive for Coronavirus,” the 51-year-old media personality told his fans the test result. Of how if affected his talk show, he explained, “As much as I felt like I could push through whatever I was feeling to do #WWHL from home, we’re putting a pin in that for now so I can focus on getting better.”
      The author of “The Andy Cohen Diaries: A Deep Look at a Shallow Year” went on to “thank all the medical professionals who are working tirelessly for all of us.” He then concluded his message by urging “everybody to stay home and take care of themselves.”

      Before he tested positive for coronavirus, Cohen planned to tape his famous talk show from home. “Our show is arguably the most lo-tech show in late night in its current form. So the idea of taking it down even further a few notches is just ironic and hilarious,” he told Variety earlier on Friday morning.
      “I mean, we’re the show that I still can’t believe gets a live signal out of a very small clubhouse in Soho,” the executive producer of the “Real Housewives” franchise shared, before explaining the format of “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen: @ Home”, “So we will now be from my own clubhouse in the West Village. My show has always been something of a little coffee klatch, party-line type show. And this seemed like a very natural extension of not only the show, but obviously the times that we’re in right now.”

      Andy Cohen announced “WWHL” home edition on his Twitter just hours before sharing his diagnosis.
      The first episode of the “WWHL” home edition was scheduled to air on Sunday, March 22 before it was canceled. Cohen had additionally tapped “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes, TV personality Ramona Singer and “Sliders” alum Jerry O’Connell as the guests, who would be joining him on video chat.”

      Network chairman Andy Lack discloses that Larry Edgeworth, who worked as an audio technician, had ‘suffered from other health issues that led him to succumb to the illness.’
      Mar 21, 2020

      Network chiefs confirmed the sad news on Friday, March 20, in a memo to staff, with Chairman Andy Lack reporting that “longtime member of our NBC News family” Larry Edgeworth died after testing positive for COVID-19.
      Lack said that Edgeworth, who worked as an audio technician for the network, had “suffered from other health issues that led him to succumb to the illness.”
      “Many of you were fortunate enough to work with Larry over the years, so you know that he was the guy you wanted by your side no matter where you were,” he added, reported the New York Post’s gossip column Page Six. “Stacy Brady says he was known as the ‘gentle giant who would give you the shirt off his back.’ ”
      The network has been operating with a reduced number of staff as the coronavirus pandemic continues, with the World Health Organisation (WHO) urging people to practice social distancing and stay home in a bid to prevent the spread of the virus.
      The outbreak of COVID-19 has seen more than 255,800 cases of the virus registered, resulting in a death toll of over 10,400, since it began in December (2019).
