      by

      Producers of ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ have also informed staff about decision to go dark after New York’s Governor and Major introduce restrictions on public gatherings, venues and events.
      Mar 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – New York’s top talk shows are shutting down a day after producers announced they would continue without studio audiences due to the coronavirus pandemic.
      “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”, “Late Night with Seth Meyers” and “The Wendy Williams Show” will all go dark from Friday, March 13 as the Governor and Major of the Big Apple introduce restrictions on public gatherings, venues and events.
      “The Tonight Show”, which will air on Thursday without a studio audience, and “Late Night” will pause production through their previously planned hiatus, which was scheduled for the week beginning March 23.

      “We will continue to monitor the situation closely and make decisions about future shows as we get closer to the start of production,” a statement from an NBC network spokesman reads.

      Producers of Wendy Williams’ show informed staff of the production shutdown on Thursday afternoon.
      “The safety and well-being of our employees is our top priority,” a statement read. “Considering the current escalation of the Coronavirus, production will be put on hold, indefinitely… We will continue to monitor the situation with the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and city officials to determine the best time to return and produce live shows again. Thank you for everything you do and please stay safe!”

      New York has fast become a sports and entertainment ghost town thanks to coronavirus-related cancellations, with Broadway bosses closing all theater productions for at least a month and movie executives postponing the releases of blockbusters like “A Quiet Place: Part II”, “No Time to Die”, “Mulan” and “F9”. Meanwhile, all basketball, soccer, ice hockey and baseball games have been cancelled until the end of the month, and many music events and gigs have been scrapped.

      Mar 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – As the Coronavirus outbreak is getting bigger, “The View” co-host Joy Behar is taking a preventive measure. The 77-year-old TV personality announced on Thursday, March 12 that she would be taking a temporary leave from the ABC daytime talk show.
      “I’m in a higher risk group because of my age, but I’m perfectly healthy,” she told her co-hosts during taping for Friday episode, according to Variety. “I don’t look my age, but I’m actually up there. The number makes me dizzy.”
      Behar will not be featured on next week’s episodes of the show. Additionally, she has yet to decide when to return. The other co-hosts, including Whoopi Goldberg, Meghan McCain and Sunny Hostin, meanwhile, will continue hosting the daytime talk show, which also films its episode without a live studio audience in light of the disease.
      Coronavirus has affected a lot of aspects in entertainment industry with many movies delaying their production and pushing back their release dates. Most recently, Disneyland announced that it would close until the end of March, marking the fourth time in history.
      In a statement on Thursday, a Disney spokesperson wrote, “While there have been no reported cases of COVID-19 at Disneyland Resort, after carefully reviewing the guidelines of the Governor of California’s executive order and in the best interest of our guests and employees, we are proceeding with the closure of Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, beginning the morning of March 14 through the end of the month.”
      Additionally, Broadway has decided to shut down its shows and plays until mid-April due to the virus, which contracted actor Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson. New York’s theater bosses, owners and union representatives met to discuss a possible month-long shutdown of all shows and plays on Thursday morning.

      Bow Wow and Rumored GF Angela Simmons Quit 'Growing Up Hip-Hop' for Something 'Unthinkable'

      by

      BET

      Bow Wow’s departure arrives after Romeo Miller, who is involved in the alleged fake triangle love with Angela on the We TV show, was reported to leave the show earlier this month.
      Mar 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Bow Wow quits “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta”. The rapper-turned-actor, who is among the longtime cast members of the We TV reality show, anounced his departure on Instagram Stories on Thursday, March 12, hinting that his rumored girlfriend Angela Simmons was leaving the show as well.
      “We done w/ Growing Up Hip Hop! We on the bigger and the better things!” so Bow Wow, whose real name is Shad Moss, wrote on the post. He went on to tag Angela, adding, “@angelasimmons let’s do the unthinkable.” He also added a GIF that read, “CANCELLED.”
      Fans, however, alluded that they couldn’t care less with the announcement. “He be announcing stuff like we care lmao,” one fan wrote, while someone else asked, “Who even watches that show?”
      Further blasting Bow Wow, another person said, “Never heard nobody say they watched a show cuz bow wow was on it.” Taking a dig at the rapper, a person noted, “Bye shad, you cancelled. That’s what’s really cancelled.” Another fan suggested that the show should have been canceled altogether because “the show ran its course.”
      Bow Wow’s departure arrives after Romeo Miller was reported to leave the show earlier this month. “Romeo nor his father (Master P) would never go against their morals for money for any network,” a source revealed to TheJasmineBrand. “He hasn’t been on much of this season and is focusing on his many businesses, career and his love life with new girlfriend.”
      The source went on to say, “Romeo has nothing against the cast, they’re just growing apart and he rather explore the truth not a fake love triangle that the network is dragging out.”
      Neither Romeo or We TV has yet to comment on the reports.

      20th Century Fox Television/FOX Entertainment

      A spokesperson for Disney has confirmed the news in a statement as saying, ‘We are working closely with the CDPH to identify and contact all individuals who came in direct contact with the crew member.’
      Mar 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – A crewmember on actor John Slattery’s upcoming TV series “neXt” has tested positive for coronavirus.
      The news emerges days after production on the Disney Television Studios show wrapped in Chicago, Illinois, and now officials are taking steps to limit any further possible exposure to the illness, named COVID-19.
      “We have been notified by the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) that a crew member on neXt, which concluded production in Chicago last week, has tested positive for COVID-19 and is receiving treatment,” a Disney spokesperson shares in a statement to TheWrap.com.
      “We are working closely with the CDPH to identify and contact all individuals who came in direct contact with the crew member, and are taking precautions to protect all who work on our productions.”
      Representatives from the labour union Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) have also been notified to help “determine the timeline and scope of potential exposure to members and others”.
      The sci-fi crime drama stars former “Mad Men” actor Slattery as a tech pioneer whose artificial intelligence programme, titled neXt, goes rogue, prompting Homeland Security task force members to spring into action.
      “Castle” Michael Mosley, Fernanda Andrade, Jason Butler Harner, and Eve Harlow also feature on the forthcoming series, which is due to premiere later this year on America’s Fox network.
      More than 4,000 deaths have been reported from the spread of COVID-19 worldwide, with over 113,000 infected to date.

      Heidi Klum Is Too Ill to Continue Taping 'America's Got Talent'

      by

      WENN/Instar

      It’s said that only 3 judges, Howie Mandel, Simon Cowell and new judge Sofia Vergara, that enter the stage with Heidi missing during the filming, which features a full audience.
      Mar 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Heidi Klum was not feeling well to work on Tuesday, March 10. A new report suggests that the model left the taping for “America’s Got Talent” early because she was too ill to work.
      According to TMZ, the model was all smiles when she arrived in Pasadena to film a new season of the long-running NBC talent show. She donned a red turtleneck, black pants and beige coat with a colorful detail in the front for that day. However, it appeared that she was just hiding her physical pain.
      The report noted that only 3 judges, Howie Mandel, Simon Cowell and new judge Sofia Vergara, that entered the stage with Heidi missing. During the filming, which featured a full audience, the judges told the audience that she had a case of suspected food poisoning. Sofia even joked that she sent Heidi food last night.
      However, TMZ revealed it wasn’t the food poisoning, noting that “she just felt like crap.” Amid the Coronavirus outbreak, people might be concerned if Heidi was contracted with the virus, but the outlet assured that her illness had nothing to do with it.
      “America’s Got Talent” is among the TV shows which have yet to announce they will be eliminating live audience amid Coronavirus concern. “Jeopardy!” and “Wheel of Fortune” recently decided that they would tape without live audience in light of Coronavirus, considering that most of audience members of the shows are people in their 60s.
      The fact that most of them are coming from out of town was also among the reasons why they made the decision. The production deemed the travel risky and thought that it would give a potential mean for the virus to spread.
      “The Wendy Williams Show” also announced on Tuesday that it would be filmed without live studio audience for an undetermined period of time. A released statement from the 55-year-old’s show read, “Wendy values her co-hosts and their daily participation but in light of the current health climate, ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ will not have a live studio audience until further notice.” It further noted, “We will continue to produce a daily live talk show and look forward to welcoming the studio audience back when the time is right.”
      “Live with Kelly and Ryan”, “The View”, “Good Morning America” and “Dr. Phil” are other shows that announced that they would film episodes in an empty studio.

      by

      Instagram

      The TV personality announces on Instagram that while she ‘values her co-hosts and their daily participation,’ her talk show will not have studio audience until ‘the time is right.’
      Mar 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Wendy Williams is not taking any risk amid the growing spread of coronavirus. On Tuesday, March 10, the TV host/personality came out with an announcement that her syndicated talk show, “The Wendy Williams Show”, will be filmed without live studio audience for an undetermined period of time.

      Williams’ show was not the only one taking precaution by banning audience from the live taping. A number of ABC’s shows, such as “Live With Kelly and Ryan”, “The View” and “Good Morning America”, have reportedly made similar decision to film episodes in an empty studio.
      On Tuesday night, March 10, ABC issued a statement to Page Six regarding the matter. “Given the current developing situation in New York City, we have made the decision to suspend live audiences from attending our news broadcasts and talk shows,” the statement read.
      In addition, the network was reported to forbid its star hosts, including Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan, from getting physical contact with the public. Page Six claimed that they were told not to take selfies with the crowd.
      The drastic measure taken by Williams and ABC came after “Dr. Phil”, which is hosted by Dr. Phillip C. McGraw, announced it would be filmed without audiences. “The health of our audience members, staff and crew are the priority,” explained executive producer Carla Pennington as quoted by Deadline.
      The publication further noted that “Jeopardy!” and “Wheel of Fortune” have also suspended audiences from their episodes taping.
