    Mar 19, 2020

    Sharing video footage from the live stream on her Instagram timeline, Washington posted, “My soul sister @reesewitherspoon and I practiced #SocialDistancing on IG LIVE today (in the same sweater…not planned!!!) to announce that @littlefireshulu is available EARLY!

    Whoopi Goldberg Returns to Co-Host 'The View' via Video Call as Coronavirus Precaution

    Instagram

    During the March 18 episode of the talk show, the ‘Ghost’ star admits to making the decision after receiving mixed messages from local officials about the danger of COVID-19.
    Mar 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Whoopi Goldberg has taken to co-hosting her U.S. talk show “The View” from her New York City home after placing herself under self-isolation.
    The “Ghost” star, 64, skipped Tuesday’s (March 17) studio taping of the programme to pay a precautionary visit to her doctor, a year after battling a near-fatal bout of double pneumonia.
    Goldberg returned to TV screens on Wednesday’s episode of “The View”, which she co-presented via a video call from her private residence amid the global coronavirus pandemic.
    On the show, the actress explained to her fellow panellists, Sunny Hostin and Meghan McCain, she had been given the “all clear” to head into work by her doctor, only to then receive mixed messages from local officials, who are battling over plans to potentially place New York City on a temporary lockdown in an effort to halt the spread of COVID-19, which can be deadly to the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.
    The lack of a clear directive prompted Goldberg to remain in isolation for her own safety: “My brain said, ‘You know what? Until they can figure out what they’re doing, I should not go in,’ so that’s why I’m here.”
    She joins comedienne and co-host Joy Behar, 77, in choosing to stay away from the Manhattan studio to protect herself from potentially contracting the coronavirus.

    “The View” is just one of two daytime programmes, along with self-help series “The Dr. Oz Show”, still in production in the Big Apple, where they are currently being filmed without the usual studio audience and with limited staffmembers.

    'American Idol' Production Halted Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

    ABC

    Contestants who had made it through the elimination rounds have been sent home to their families, as health officials urge people to stay indoors and practice social distancing.
    Mar 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Production has halted on the current season of “American Idol” amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
    According to TVLine, contestants who had made it through the elimination rounds have been sent home to their families, as health officials urge people to stay indoors and practice social distancing to prevent the spread of the virus.
    It is believed production staff are working on the show remotely, with episodes expected to continue to air as scheduled up until the beginning of the live shows – which were slated to begin in mid-April (20), with judges Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and pregnant Katy Perry, and host Ryan Seacrest.
    The decision follows similar moves from “America’s Got Talent”, which went dark last week after days of auditions without a live audience, and talk shows like “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”, “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”, “Late Night with Seth Meyers”, and “The Wendy Williams Show”.
    Covid-19 has also delayed production on several blockbuster movies, including “Jurassic World: Dominion” and “The Batman”, and has pushed the release of new James Bond movie “No Time to Die” and Disney’s “Mulan”, among others.
    Globally, more than 198,900 cases of coronavirus have been registered, resulting in a death toll of over 7,900 since the outbreak began in December (19).

    'LHH': Alexis Skyy Calls Karlie Redd's Husband Arkansas Mo 'Fraud' Over Fake Storyline Claims

    Instagram

    Writing on her Twitter account, Alexis accuses Arkansas of begging her ‘to b with me, begging me to bring u onto LovenHipHop’ before alluding that he’s gay.
    Mar 18, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The premiere episode of “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” season 9 saw Alexis Skyy having a heated altercation with co-star Karlie Redd. The two ladies were at each other’s throat at Kirk and Rasheeda Frost’s anniversary party after Alexis claimed that Karlie’s husband Arkansas Mo proposed to Karlie with the ring that he previously gave to her.
    Hours after the episode aired, Arkansas broke his silence and slammed Alexis, accusing her of lying for a storyline. “if you ever hate me, hate me alone.. don’t be out here lying, and trying to recruit people to hate me with yo miserable a**,” so the message in the picture, which he shared on Tuesday, March 17 on Instagram, read.
    “I wasn’t even going to address this bs, but this thirsty a** mf really got me f***ed up! I’m not the lames you use to and I never gave anyone the same ring, might of fact NEVER even gave you a ring, I was with jeweler getting my grill…,” Arkansas wrote in the caption. “u FaceTime, he later sent me a video of a ring, I asked what you think…now your miserable ass done flipped that into a storyline and this was well before I even met my wife….”
    “swear they don’t want to be on a messy a** show yet making up s**t to be on the show, fake a** storylines,” he went on to say. “At no point I was your n***a you was just a mf a dude knew from the h** circuit! Truly need to stop swearing s**t on your kid…damn sure need to keep my name out your mouth!!! And when I met my wife, I wasn’t even dealing with you, no communication or anything.”

    It didn’t take long before Alexis responded on her Twitter account. “Arkansas BOTTOM Butt Mo… I wouldn’t even address you because all your were was a fraud to Me!!! You know I NEVER LIKE U… & I NEVER in my life said we were in a relationship. You & ur Wife said it!!!” she furiously tweeted. In another post, she also accused Arkansas of begging her “to b with me, begging me to bring u onto Love&HipHop, u didn’t lease a 800k house around the corner from my moms house in Larenceville to be w me?”
    She also denied hooking up with Arkansas, writing, “I NEVER in my life slept around with him, I NEVER kissed or mess with this man a day in my life!!! All he did was literally spent about $100,000 on me in two months while trying to pursue me!!! & THAT WAS IT!!!”
    “I told you I didn’t want a relationship with u but we would be friends…. & you wouldn’t accept that!!! You then txt my best friend @kingikey & my stepdad with videos of the ring asking ‘if this would change my mind?’ I told them NO!!!!” she continued. “Then 3 weeks later when on Met & Proposed to Karlie with the same ring!!! Once I made it known… ya switched the ring!!!! You’re a fraud!!!! Who’s desperately wants to be on TV!!! All u do is pursue girls who’s on TV!!!! I guess u found ur dummy!! Cuz it wasn’t me!!!”

    Not enough, Alexis added, “All u do is go around stealing ppls money & trying to make yourself seem like this person your not!!! I rest my case!! Your a f****in Clown.” Later, she appeared to allude that Arkansas is gay, writing, “now stop beating on your ‘wife’ and go find a dude who satisfies your ITCH!!!”

    Emilia Clarke Still 'Mad' Her 'Game of Thrones' Character Didn't Get Happy Ending

    HBO

    During an interview, the Daenerys Targaryen depicter also admits that she’s still annoyed by the fact that Kit Harington’s character Jon Snow could get away with murder.
    Mar 18, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Emilia Clarke was “annoyed” that Kit Harington’s Jon Snow “got away with murder” in the finale of “Game of Thrones”.
    The hit HBO show wrapped its eighth and final series last May (19) and, reflecting on the death of her beloved character, Daenerys Targaryen, who was murdered by her former-lover Jon Snow, she told Britain’s The Times newspaper she’s still not over the ending.
    “Yeah, I felt for her. I really felt for her. And yeah, was I annoyed that Jon Snow didn’t have to deal with something? He got away with murder — literally,” she said.
    Despite her frustrations, Emilia had known the ending for years, and she added that when the show finally did come to a close, “it felt like coming out of a bunker. Everything felt really strange.”
    “I knew how I felt when I first read it, and I tried, at every turn, not to consider too much what other people might say, but I did always consider what the fans might think — because we did it for them, and they were the ones who made us successful, so… it’s just polite, isn’t it?” she shared.
    When asked if she was mad that Daenerys didn’t get a “happy ending”, Emilia admitted that she was, but added that the show was a “gift” for her as an actor.
    And she hinted she wasn’t entirely ready to call it a day just yet, adding: “We could have spun it out for a little longer.”

    WENN/Instar

    The coronavirus lockdown in New York has prompted the writers and producers of the sketch variety show to scrap the upcoming three episodes, including one featuring the ‘A Quiet Place’ director.
    Mar 17, 2020
    AceShowbiz – John Krasinski’s dream of hosting “Saturday Night Live” will have to wait. His upcoming episode has been postponed.
    The coronavirus lock down in New York has prompted the “SNL” writers and producers to scrap the next three shows, including Krasinski’s hosting debut, which was to feature Dua Lipa as the musical guest, on 28 March.
    The actor and director, who last week shelved the release of his “A Quiet Place” sequel due to the health crisis, recently confessed hosting “SNL” was a dream come true.
    “I was eight years old when I found an old black and white TV in my parents’ basement, I snuck it under my bed and was watching, basically, every ‘SNL’ from eight to 18 – and I only told my mom (recently),” he said in an interview earlier this month (March). “She was like, ‘I’m sorry, what?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I used to set my alarm to 11.30 and watch from 11.30 to 1(am) and then go back to bed.’ ”
    “To say it’s (hosting ‘SNL’) a dream come true is an understatement.”
