      Report: Evelyn Lozada to Return for 'Basketball Wives' Season 9

      by

      Instagram

      Evelyn previously sparked speculations that season 8 might be her last when she answered to a fan’s inquiry during a QnA session on her Instagram account in February.
      Mar 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Evelyn Lozada is back! A new report suggests that the VH1 personality is returning for season 9 of the network’s reality show “Basketball Wives” though she previously hinted at her departure.
      According to The Jasmine Brand, the ex-wife of Chad Ochocinco is not only tapped to appear in the upcoming season, she has already started filming her episodes.
      Evelyn previously sparked speculations that season 8 might be her last. During a Q&A session on her Instagram account in February, the TV star talked about whether or not she would be returning for upcoming 9th season of “Basketball Wives”. Judging from her answer, however, fans seemingly wouldn’t be able to see her on the show. “Most likely no,” she replied.
      At that time, fans rejoiced knowing that she wouldn’t return. “She doesn’t have an interesting storyline.. honestly. The drama gets old,” one commenter wrote. Someone else thought that Ogom “OG” Chijindu, with whom she’s beefing on the show, made her leave the show. “Oh now she don’t wanna be on basketball wives! OG ran her away lmao.”
      “The crying outweighed the laughter but you reached out to the person that made you so miserable to get back at OG… make it make sense,” another person said.
      In the second part of season 8 reunion of “Basketball Wives”, Evelyn was arguing with OG, who decided to go back to the filming site after refusing to film separately from the other ladies. The episode saw the former Legends Football League cornerback confronting Evelyn Lozada for using N-word when she’s not black.
      “I’ve witnessed Evelyn using N-word. I just think it’s disrespectful, you know. Being African, being black, it’s not a game. You don’t get to use these type of words to try to fit in,” she said while sitting in a different room. “I think it’s a blatant slap in the face when someone who’s not black says it.”
      “She’s not Afro-Latina. She never claimed it,” she added. “Evelyn has been on the show for eight years and never talked about Puerto Rico until last year when I was talking about Nigeria and I found it very interesting that she went on this Puerto Rican parade and wanted to find her ancestors.”
      Evelyn later explained, “I grew up in New York City and I was born in Brooklyn, raised in the Bronx where you rub elbows with all races. So, whether you’re black, Dominican, whatever, we’re the same.” She also said that “25% of my bloodline comes from Africa.” The answer didn’t change OG’s mind though, as she insisted that Evelyn is not black.

      2020 Daytime Emmy Awards Scrapped Amid Uncertainty Caused by Coronavirus Crisis

      by

      ‘We are working on some interesting alternative ideas for how to best recognize the honorees later this year,’ announces executive director Brent Stanton in a released statement.
      Mar 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – America’s 47th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony has been axed over coronavirus fears.
      The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences event was set for June in Pasadena, California.
      “Given our concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided that we will not be staging the 47th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards in Pasadena this coming June,” NATAS chairman Terry O’Reilly said on Thursday, March 19. “As there are so many unknowns right now with the flow of information changing on a daily, almost hourly, basis, it would simply be irresponsible to move forward with our annual celebration of excellence in daytime television at this time.”
      However, judging continues and nominees for the top honours will be announced later this spring.
      “We are working on some interesting alternative ideas for how to best recognize the honorees later this year and will share more details in the weeks ahead,” Daytime Emmy Awards executive director Brent Stanton said in a statement.

      NATAS officials have already postponed their annual Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards and their Sports Emmy Awards due to the coronavirus pandemic.

      'The Good Doctor' and Other Medical Dramas Donate Masks to Hospitals Amid Shortages

      by

      ABC

      ‘The Resident’ gives away boxes of personal protective equipment to Atlanta’s Grady Memorial Hospital, while ‘Station 19’ pledge their N95 respirator masks to the City of Ontario Fire Department.
      Mar 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – TV medical dramas, including “The Resident” and “The Good Doctor”, have donated masks to hospitals and medical centres amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
      While production on several shows has shut down amid the global health crisis, many of the sets have donated masks, gloves and gowns from their wardrobe departments to real health professionals facing shortages.
      Fox’s “The Resident” gave boxes of personal protective equipment to Atlanta’s Grady Memorial Hospital, with Dr. Karen Law, a rheumatologist at the hospital, writing on Instagram: “Thank you for this incredibly generous donation of #PPE from your set, including gowns, masks, gloves, and all the things our healthcare workers need to provide safe care for our community during #COVID19.”

      ABC’s “The Good Doctor”, which films in Vancouver, Canada, is also planning to donate the cast’s personal protective equipment to the area’s hospitals, reported Fox News, and “Grey’s Anatomy” spinoff “Station 19” has pledged their N95 respirator masks to the City of Ontario Fire Department.
      Hospitals are facing shortages due to the influx of coronavirus cases and since much of the equipment is made in China. The country has increased the production of masks since facing a similar shortage, as Covid-19 broke out in the city of Wuhan, China, in December (19).
      Globally, more than 219,700 cases of coronavirus have been registered, resulting in a death toll of over 8,900 since the outbreak began.

      Though lamenting over the loss of months of hard work prepping the start of filming because of coronavirus, Anthony Byrne encourages others to ‘find the positive in all of this and use it’.
      Mar 19, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Peaky Blinders” director Anthony Byrne was gutted when he had to postpone filming for the sixth season of the hit show because so much work had gone into the production.
      The coronavirus pandemic forced producers to put the series on hold and Byrne admits he’s still struggling with the decision, because he was all set to start.
      Posting a photo of Cillian Murphy’s character Tommy Shelby drowning his sorrows in a pub on Instagram, the director writes, “We were so close to the start of filming Season 6. Months of hard work by our very talented, dedicated and hardworking crew. Sets were built, costumes were made. Cameras and lenses tested. Locations were booked. All the prep was done. It’s a real shame not to be able to make it for you at this time.”
      “But I personally want to thank the crew that I’ve spent months working with and I want to send my love and support to them and everyone else. We are in this together.”
      He added, “These are extraordinary times and we must be extraordinary in them. Remember who we all are as a people and look out for those around you who will find these times challenging. Dig deep. It will pass.”
      “Read that book that’s been staring at you for years. Write a poem, script, novel. Listen to music. Watch movies. Be creative. Make art. Share. Find the positive in all of this and use it. We will be better for it in the long run… Love & Respect to you all.”
      Production on “Peaky Blinders” was suspended on Monday (March 16) over coronavirus fears.
      “After much consideration, and in light of the developing situation concerning Covid-19, the start of production of ‘Peaky Blinders’ series 6 has been postponed,” a statement read. “Huge thanks to our incredible cast and crew, and to all our amazing fans for their continued support.”

      Production on most major TV dramas and comedies and movies has shut down as a result of the global pandemic.

      'RHONJ': Joe Giudice Fires Back at Joe Gorga After Being Accused of Cheating on Teresa

      by

      The deleted posts appear to be his response to Joe Gorga accusing him of not being faithful to Teresa, to whom he’s been married for 20 years, in the Wednesday reunion episode.
      Mar 19, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Joe Giudice will reveal his truth soon. After Bravo aired “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” season 10 reunion, Joe took to his social media account to seemingly throw shade at brother-in-law Joe Gorga, who accused him of cheating on his sister Teresa Giudice.
      In a now-deleted Instagram post on Wednesday, March 18, Joe Giudice cryptically wrote, “A persons mouth can lie, but their eyes always tell the truth. We all have a lot to say tune in next season to see who is telling the truth.I don’t think you would know how much stress…? #truth.”
      The 47-year-old later added in a separate comment, “We both respect and love our girls. She is a beautiful mother grateful.” Joe was referencing his four daughters Gia, Gabriella, Milania and Audriana whom he shares with Teresa.
      Seemingly not enough, he made his point with a picture featuring a message that read, “If I am a lier [sic], then you are the reason. Because, I smile but see my eyes I am crying. I act like happiest person of the world, but put your hand on my heart, you feel my pain. I act like I am fine but I am not. I am not lier, you make me lier.”
      The deleted posts appeared to be his response to Joe Gorga accusing him of not being faithful to Teresa, to whom he’s been married for 20 years, in the Wednesday reunion episode. He revealed to executive producer/host Andy Cohen that he stayed silent about it because he didn’t want to hurt his sister.
      “I never told you,” Joe said to Teresa in the episode. “And I’ll tell you why–because it wouldn’t be nice. It wouldn’t be nice. So if my sister was happy and she believed it, I stayed away. But if my sister called me and said, ‘Joe, I need your help,’ then it would have been game over.”
      “I still feel bad for him. I knew this man all my life,” Joe Gorga continued speaking of Joe Giudice, who wasn’t present in the reunion due to his current legal status. “I might not like him, I’m going to be honest with you, I might not like him–you think I like what he did? And what he put my family through? I’m very upset but I still feel bad for him. I didn’t want that to happen to him. And I didn’t want him suffering, because I have a heart and I feel for him. I might not like you, but I love you in a way.”

      'RHOA': NeNe Leakes Believes Kenya Moore Provokes Her Because She's Eyeing Good Seat in Reunion

      by

      Instagram

      It apparently only earns NeNe backlash as some people were tired to see the Bravo star talking about ‘Kenya, Kenya Kenya,’ with a person noting, ‘that’s all she talks about.’
      Mar 19, 2020
      AceShowbiz – NeNe Leakes addresses her beef with “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” co-star Kenya Moore in her recent YouTube video. In the video, NeNe alluded that Kenya was feuding with her all season because she’s been eyeing the seat next to Andy Cohen in upcoming reunion special episode.
      The 51-year-old revealed on Tuesday, March 17 that prior to her blasting Kenya by saying that she was pregnant with a “buffalo,” Kenya had been on her nerves. “Long before I said anything about her pregnancy–she had a buffalo and I apologized for that–long before that she’d called me a buffalo and she said I was on drugs. I could have been took that personal and not talk to her, but I was like whatever,” she shared.
      “But the reason why this girl has arguments with me all season to the end–I try to tell [Porsha Williams] but I don’t think Porsha got it until maybe just recently–she did all of that because she wants to make sure that she has the seat beside Andy,” NeNe alleged. “And Porsha sits on that seat, and Kenya sits all the way at the end.”
      “It doesn’t matter for all these girls where they sit but to Kenya, she wants to be ‘that girl.’ She wants to be able to sit beside Andy,” NeNe insisted.

      The clip apparently only earned NeNe backlash. Some people were tired to see NeNe talking about “Kenya, Kenya Kenya,” as a person noted, “that’s all she talks about.” Meanwhile, one other said, “Kenya had the most drama this season aside from NeNe, so she would’ve been sitting next to him any way.”
      Further blasting NeNe, a person wrote, “Isn’t she too old to be acting the the fool. No self respecting person acts this way.” Another comment read, “Ain’t she like over 50? Old a** children.”
      “I would die of embarrassment If I was in my early 50s and took time out of my life during a pandemic to talk about who gonna sit next to some white man who dont give a f**k about any one of them!! I hate to see it..,” someone else said. Meanwhile, a person urged NeNe to quit the show because “the girls, including your lap dog Marlo, all get along with each other when you ARE NOT THERE.”
