      'RHOA': NeNe Leakes and Cynthia Bailey Squash Beef in an Emotional Meeting

      by

      WENN/Instar

      During the meeting, NeNe asks her former friend why she called her a ‘toxic friend’ while she used to think Cynthia as ‘somebody I considered to be a sister, and I felt she was out saying I was a toxic friend.’
      Feb 17, 2020
      AceShowbiz – NeNe Leakes and Cynthia Bailey have been feuding with each other for almost a year, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” co-stars had buried the hatched in a Sunday, February 16 episode of the Bravo show. That started after Cynthia sent NeNe a thank you note for the hors d’oeuvres she sent to congratulate Cynthia for the opening of her newest business, the Bailey Wine Cellar, and asked her to come to have a glass of wine together.
      Of the meeting, Cynthia said in a confessional, “It really sucks to be in this place with NeNe. I’m not concerned about us being the best of friends again, but I can’t stand walking around knowing that she hates me.” She continued, “This has been a long time coming for us to sit down and have a conversation. I feel like we deserve to at least have a mutual respect for each other.”
      During the meeting, NeNe asked her former friend why she called her a “toxic friend.” Sharing that she didn’t understand the reason, NeNe said, “This is somebody I considered to be a sister, and I felt she was out saying I was a toxic friend. ‘Toxic’ is heavy because I thought I was a good friend to Cynthia. So I thought that was a stretch. I thought the word was nasty.”
      Explaining her side, Cynthia told NeNe, “When you are a friend, you are an amazing friend. When things go left, then you can be very closed, you’re very quick to shut people off, pretty much close people away. When I made that statement, you had said something things, I responded to some things, we both had said a lot.”
      “Maybe toxic was a little strong, but I felt like the last time that we were together, I was trying to explain a situation to you and I felt like you were completely closed to hearing it. And then I actually saw you saying things about me that I didn’t like. … You have said I was weak and insecure, which is not true,” she continued. However, NeNe felt she was justified to say so and it led to them arguing on things.
      At the end, NeNe walked out in tears. Cynthia, however, didn’t seem to want to ruin the moment so she went to NeNe and apologized. “I know that I hurt you,” Cynthia said. “I am sorry. … I know I have said some things that were not nice to say. Just give me a hug please. NeNe, I’m sorry.” NeNe responded, “And I’m sorry. I really am, I’m sorry. What I don’t want to do is hurt you. I don’t want to hurt you and that’s real, I don’t want to hurt you.”
      NeNe and Cynthia’s beef had something to do with fellow cast member Kenya Moore. It started after the former felt blindsided when Cynthia didn’t tell her about Kenya’s appearance at one of her events despite knowing the tension between NeNe and Kenya.
      “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” airs Sundays at 8 P.M. on Bravo.

While waiting, 16-year-old Camryn Leigh Smith who sang “Big White Room” by Jessie J.

      Doug then came back, singing “God Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts. Katy then wanted to see his range and Luke helped with the piano. “There’s so much in there,” Luke said while Katy started to tear up and said, “You just stay who you are and you’re going to go so far.” Unsurprisingly, they sent Doug to Hollywood.

      Nick Merico, who auditioned last season, returned though he backed out before going to Hollywood because of “personal things.” He managed to convince Katy and Luke that he still wanted to pursue his dream as a singer with a touching performance of “You Say” by Lauren Daigle. However, Lionel told Nick, “I don’t like you,” adding that he wanted him to know “what it feels like when people don’t adore you.” Still, the judges gave another Golden Ticket.

      Arthur Gunn later stunned everyone with his rendition of “Girl From the North Country” by Bob Dylan. Katy asked him to sing another song and he opted for “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” by Creedence Clearwater Revival. “Arthur, you’re a rock star,” gushed Katy. Lionel echoed the sentiment, telling him, “You are the story we need to tell.”

      Next up was Alisa Ermolaev. She, however, couldn’t impress the judges and even said that Katy was “f***ing salty.” Louis Knight followed it up with a performance of “Change”, which is an original song about a friend who committed suicide. “You might be the biggest start we’ve ever had on ‘American Idol’,” Luke said. Lionel also praised Louis’ songwriting skills.

      Saveria got mixed responses from the judges. Luke and Lionel were not impressed, but Katy felt that she had “so much potential.” Katy said yes but the other judges said no, much to the former’s frustration. Meghan Fitton, meanwhile, hoped to get a ticket with a performance of “Love Where You’re At” by Alan Stone. The judges said yes and gave “The Bachelor” superfan the Golden Ticket.

      Concluding the night was Samantha Diaz a.k.a. Just Sam, who sang “You Say” by Lauren Daigle. She was overwhelmed that she had to stop singing because she cried. However, she recovered as she continued showing off her skills by belting out “Rise Up” by Andra Day. Sam headed to Hollywood.

      Al Pacino Stands by His Casting as Jewish Nazi Hunter for New Amazon Series

      by

      Amazon/Christopher Saunders

      ‘The Godfather’ star shares his belief that actors should not be limited to their ethnicity as his co-star Logan Lerman calls criticism over the veteran actor’s casting ‘bulls**t.’
      Feb 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Al Pacino has defended his casting as a Jewish person in his new Amazon Prime Video series “Hunters (2020)”.
      “The Godfather” star, who is of American-Sicilian descent, plays Meyer Offerman, the Jewish head of a group hunting Nazis in New York in the 1970s in the series, but is unconcerned over criticism of playing a character from a different background to his own.
      Pacino tells British newspaper that if actors are “limited to your ethnicity” he would only be able to play New York Italians.
      He went on to say that he believes that he has “no problem” with such roles – as long as he fulfils the writers’ vision.
      “Maybe more in films because it’s more literal or more naturalistic, but if you play the oboe, you play the oboe,” he adds. “It doesn’t matter what you are, you’re in the orchestra, you’re doing the thing, you’re playing the music. (Here) you’re playing the playwright.”
      His co-star Logan Lerman, who is Jewish, objected to the idea Pacino should have been passed over for a Jewish actor, adding: “That’s bulls**t. As a Jewish person I can say that. Come on, anybody can play the role.”
      The 79-year-old has played a famous Jewish character on screen before, taking on the role of William Shakespeare’s infamous moneylender Shylock in a 2004 movie adaptation of “The Merchant of Venice”.
      Now, he has another of the playwright’s characters in his sights – ageing monarch King Lear.
      “My hope is that I’ll get through this next phase of my life with all the stuff that’s going on and look at Lear again – seriously thinking about making a film of it,” he reveals. I wouldn’t do it on stage. It’s not what I want to go on stage with, Lear, but in a film…”.
      “Hunters” debuts on February 21.

      'Stranger Things' Brings Back This Character in First Teaser for Season 4

      by

      Netflix

      The beloved character who many assumed dead at the end of the last season surprisingly make an appearance in the first teaser for the upcoming fourth season.
      Feb 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The brains behind “Stranger Things” have stunned fans of the Netflix show by revealing David Harbour’s character, Hopper, is still alive in the first trailer for season four.
      The beloved Indiana police chief was killed off in an explosion at the end of the last season, prompting devotees to slam the show’s creators, the Duffer Brothers, but they were given a glimmer of hope when Harbour demanded to know what had become of his character.
      [embedded content]
      During an appearance on U.S. show “Late Night With Seth Meyers” in October 2019, the actor said, “I always knew that Hopper had to make a sacrifice. He’s a jerk and he needs to pay for that in some way, so I thought he’d make the sacrifice and then the script came out and… at the end, (in) the post-credits scene there’s ‘the American’, and I’m like, ‘Oh, clearly I’m the American…!’ And then, I haven’t gotten many phone calls.”
      In a post-credits scene at the end of season three, Russian prison guards referred to one captive as “the American.”
      He then agreed to FaceTime the Duffer Brothers and ask them what their plans were.
      “I have a question…,” he said. “Am I dead? Is Hopper dead?”
      “I mean, we’re still figuring it out, David,” Ross Duffer responded.
      Harbour shot back, “You guys are a lot of help, thanks. Really wonderful work. Good luck with season four. Love you guys, love you, bye.”
      But now the Duffers have revealed Hopper’s character survived the blast, placing his character in Russia, working as a prison labourer on a railway line.
      Netflix dropped the first look at the highly-anticipated fourth season of “Stranger Things” on Friday, February 14, 2020.
      “We’re excited to officially confirm that production on Stranger Things 4 is now underway – and even more excited to announce the return of Hopper!” a statement from the Duffer Brothers reads. “Although it’s not all good news for our ‘American’; he is imprisoned far from home in the snowy wasteland of Kamchatka, where he will face dangers both human… and other. Back in the states, a new horror is beginning to surface, something long buried, something that connects everything.”
      “Season four is shaping up to be the biggest and most frightening season yet, and we cannot wait for everyone to see more. In the meantime – pray for the American… From Russia with love.”

      Every Singer Should Do 'The Masked Singer', Says Jake Shears After Elimination

      by

      ITV

      The Scissor Sisters musician says singing incognito is not easy as he challenges all performers to hide their faces behind masks and compete on the singing contest.
      Feb 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jake Shears would like to see all performers take part in “The Masked Singer”, calling the show the “ultimate challenge.”
      The singer was unveiled as The Unicorn on the U.K. version of the franchise, which sees celebrities perform tunes in elaborate costumes in a bid to outsmart judges and viewers and win the title.
      Reflecting on the experience, the “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ ” hitmaker told Rolling Stone, “I think every performer should be required to do a season of Masked Singer.”
      “It’s the ultimate challenge: How do you manage to be entertaining while basically performing in what equals a diving suit from 100 years ago?” he explained. “It’s not easy. But it was a strange kind of thrill. Also, the fact that I got to sing “Babooshka” by Kate Bush on U.K. national television dressed as a flaming unicorn was the ultimate reward.”
      The Scissor Sisters star released his new single, “Meltdown”, on Friday, February 14, 2020, which is the first tune to be lifted from his upcoming disco-influenced album. After releasing his debut solo effort in 2018 with a more experimental feel, Jake said he’s ready to return to his trademark dance style.
      “It felt like a real plunge stepping out on my own,” he said. “That album was my dream of taking the theatrical rock facet of my musical style and tuning it into a fiercely personal concept record. Now, I’m ready to make some dance music again.”

      Wendy Williams Apologizes for Telling Gay Men to Stop Wearing Skirts and Heels

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Wendy Williams Show’ host says in a new video that she didn’t mean to offend the LGBTQ+ community after her insensitive comments sparked backlash on the internet.
      Feb 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Wendy Williams regretted her insensitive remarks about gay men in the February 13 episode of her show. She told gay men to stop dressing up as women and, soon after it sparked outrage online, she apologized in a video message.
      “I’ll start by saying, I apologize,” she opened her video. “I did not mean to offend my LGBTQ+ community on yesterday’s show. I did not realize until I got home and I watched the second running of our show here in New York. And I always watch when I can to critique my delivery or, you know, the cameras, the lights, the audience.”
      “I’m very persnickety about how I do my show and one thing I can tell you right now is I never do the show in a place of malice,” she added. “I understand my platform with the community from first grade, to intermediate school, to high school, to college, to radio and now to TV. And I didn’t mean to hurt anybody’s feelings. I’m just having a conversation.”
      “I’m 55 years old, and maybe I sounded like your auntie, your mother, your big sister, or somebody out of touch. I’m not out of touch, except for perhaps yesterday by saying what I said,” she went on. “So I deeply apologize and I deeply appreciate the support that I get from the community. I will do better. I appreciate you supporting me. Thank you.”

      While talking about Valentine’s Day, Wendy previously said, “I don’t care if you’re gay. You don’t get a menses every 28 days. You can do a lot that we do, but I get offended by the idea that we go through something you will never go through.”
      “And stop wearing our skirts and our heels,” she added. “Looky here now, gay men, you’ll never be the women that we are. No matter how gay.”
