    Feb 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – In the Monday, February 10 episode of “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” season 2, the final 10 acts hit the stage in front of the judges to impress. The finals kicked off with an adorable performance from Alexa Lauenburger and her dog.
    Alesha Dixon and Howie Mandel loved it, but Simon Cowell thought that the performance was “nowhere near as good” as her last two performances. Heidi Klum, meanwhile, gave Alexa kudos for coming up with a new routine in just a week.
    The next performer was Duo Transcend which upped their game by doing everything blindfolded. Mary could be seen standing on Tyce’s shoulders and stepping off and that was when Tyce caught her. Simon applauded their thrilling performance, dubbing it the “best performance we’ve ever seen from these two.”

    Later, Angelina Jordan hit the stage to sing a gorgeous rendition of Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Heidi, who hit her Golden Buzzer for Angelina, raved about her performance. “I think you’re incredible,” she gushed.

    Following it up was Simon’s Golden Buzzer act Boogie Storm. The dance troupe appeared with another jaw-dropping performance to Jennifer Lopez’s “Let’s Get Loud”. However, Howie wasn’t entirely impressed. Meanwhile, The Silhouttes, who got Alesha’s Golden Buzzer, took the stage to offer a “beautiful” performance. “You’re not just here to win it, you’re here to change the world,” Howie added.

    'Bachelor' Recap: Find Out Which 4 Ladies Earn Hometown Dates With Peter Weber

    ABC

    There are six women left on the show, but only four of them will get the chance to have hometown dates with the pilot in the upcoming episode of the ABC dating show.
    Feb 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Peter Weber’s season of “The Bachelor” returned on Monday, February 10. There were six women, Natasha Parker, Madison Prewett, Victoria Fuller, Kelley Flanagan, Hannah Ann Sluss and Kelsey Weir, left on the show, but only four of them got the chance to have hometown dates with the pilot in the next episode.
    Kicking off the new episode, Peter and the ladies went to Peru before he had his first one-on-one date with Madison. She convinced Peter that she was serious about having him in her future. Later during the dinner, she talked about how important family and faith is to her.
    Peter told her that he felt like his faith could be stronger sometimes, but insisted that it’s still something that was very important to him. He also said to Madison that his feelings for her were super clear. Eventually, Peter gave Madison a rose which she happily accepted. That meant, Madison was among those whose family would get to meet Peter next week.
    Next up for a one-on-one date was Natasha. She and Peter opted to explore a local town. Peter praised Natasha for being honest with him all season, though he wasn’t sure if they were at the level where he wanted to meet her family. Natasha insisted that she saw something special with him, but Peter didn’t feel the same way. At the end, he emilinated Natasha.
    The final solo date was between Peter and Kelsey in which they had a fun day riding ATVs. During the date, they talked about their plans for kids and the future. She also opened up to Peter that she didn’t have a good relationship with his dad and he wouldn’t be at home if Peter went to her hometown. Peter respected Kelsey’s honesty and she got a rose.
    Later, Hannah Ann, Kelley and Victoria enjoyed a three-on-one date. Peter had a chat with Hannah Ann first and she read him a list of reasons why she’s falling in love with Peter. Later with Kelley, she shared to Peter she was frustrated because she only got one on-on-one date. That prompted Peter to think if Hannah Ann was on the show just to have fun instead of searching for a husband.
    It was then time for a moment with Victoria, but it was a bit weird. Despite having doubts, Peter still gave the rose to Victoria. Also joining for the hometown dates was Hannah Ann, meaning that Kelley was sent home.

    WENN/Phil Lewis

    Director Bong Joon Ho has reportedly teamed up with fellow Oscar winner Adam McKay in developing a new five-to-six episode series which filming is expected to begin in 2021.
    Feb 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Mark Ruffalo has been tapped for a leading role in a new television spin-off of director Bong Joon Ho’s Oscar-winning film “Parasite”.
    “The Avengers” actor watched from the audience as the filmmaker pick up four trophies, including one for Best Picture, at the 92nd Academy Awards on Sunday (February 09) and now he’s in line to star in a TV series adaptation for HBO network, according to multiple reports.
    Sources tell Collider director Bong is teaming with Adam McKay on the new five-to-six episode series, and Ruffalo has emerged as a frontrunner to star as one of the leads, although the exact details of the character he’ll be playing have yet to be revealed.
    The filmmaker, who made history at the Oscars as “Parasite” became the first foreign language film to win the Best Picture trophy, recently opened up about some of the ideas he may include in the TV series adaptation.
    “I had all these key ideas accumulated from when I started writing the script,” he told TheWrap. “I just couldn’t include all those ideas in the two-hour running time of the film, so they’re all stored in my iPad and my goal with this limited series is to create a six-hour-long film.”
    The “Parasite” series is expected to begin filming in 2021.

    Gabrielle Union to Sue Simon Cowell for 'Endangering Her Life' on 'America's Got Talent' Set

    WENN/Instar/Avalon

    News of the reported plan comes out months after the ‘Bad Boys II’ actress got involved in a dispute with NBC and her fellow judge’s entertainment empire over her departure after only one season.
    Feb 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Gabrielle Union is reportedly planning to sue fellow “America’s Got Talent” judge Simon Cowell for “endangering her life” by smoking on the set of the NBC talent show.
    The “Bad Boys 2” actress was fired from the show’s panel of judges in November (19) after just one season, amid reports suggesting her departure was linked to concerns she had raised about a number of controversial incidents which took place behind the scenes, creating a “toxic” work atmosphere.
    An investigation into the complaint is currently ongoing but, according to Britain’s Mail on Sunday newspaper, Union has settled her dispute with the network and Syco, Cowell’s entertainment empire, over her departure – and is now planning to personally sue the mogul himself.
    A source said: “Gabrielle was always cross that Simon would smoke when the cameras weren’t running.”
    “For her, this is a big deal. She believes his smoking has put her life in danger. It can cause cancer and she doesn’t think she deserves to have been at risk when she was at work. This lawsuit will be sent to Simon at any moment. She is determined to see this one through.”
    California has strict anti-smoking laws, banning employers from “knowingly or intentionally permitting… the smoking of tobacco products in an enclosed place of employment.”
    Cowell is renowned for his smoking habit and has struggled to quit, after admitting to smoking up to 80 cigarettes a day in the past.

    Pete Davidson Transforms Into The Queen on 'SNL'

    Instagram

    The ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ star dresses up in drag costume as he receives a dramatic makeover from the ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ judge on ‘Saturday Night Live’.
    Feb 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Pete Davidson was given a complete drag makeover by “Saturday Night Live” host RuPaul during this weekend’s February 8, 2020 instalment.
    As the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” judge took on presenting duties, show regular Davidson returned in his role as Chad – a lovable idiot who’s very agreeable and down for anything.
    In the pre-taped segment, RuPaul appeared as himself, and was seen posing for a photoshoot for the cover of Drag magazine as he lamented that the world of drag needs a new star.
    “Everyone take five!” RuPaul declares to the crew, turning to Chad. “Leave me, with the future of drag.”
    He tells Davidson’s character, “There’s something dynamic about you, boy! Have you ever done drag?”
    “Naw, just weed and pills,” Chad says with a shrug and a blank expression, before RuPaul begins the makeover.
    “Step one: The Tuck!” RuPaul explains, teaching him to disguise his bulge, before presenting Chad with a dress, fake breasts, and finally applying his make-up.
    Eventually, the “Skin Wars” host completes the full look, but Chad ends up walking away because he finds being a drag queen too much hard work.

    The “Saturday Night Live” social media pages also shared a time lapse video of Davidson’s full make-up session to transform Chad into his drag persona, The Queen.

    Lili Reinhart Responds as Her Show 'Riverdale' Is Accused of Contributing to Body Image Issues

    The CW

    The CW teen drama television series based on Archie Comics is criticized for portraying unrealistic body images that could lead to youngsters suffering from body image issues.
    Feb 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lili Reinhart is “intimidated” when she compares her body to that of her “Riverdale” castmates.
    The 23-year-old actress, who plays Betty Cooper in the programme, was responding to a fan who tweeted her asking why everyone on the U.S. TV show has “perfectly chiselled bodies,” with the viewer continuing, “Don’t you think TV shows like this aimed at teenagers are contributing to unrealistic body expectations body image issues?”
    Replying, Lili insisted she didn’t want anybody to feel body shamed by the CW show, explaining, “Actually, not everyone on this show is perfectly chiseled. And even I feel intimidated by the physique of my surrounding cast mates sometimes when I have to do bra/underwear scenes.”
    “I’ve felt very insecure due to the expectation that people have for women on tv, what they should look like. But I have come to terms with my body and that I’m not the kind of person you would see walking on a runway during fashion week. I have bigger boobs, I have cellulite on my thighs/butt, and my stomach sticks out rather than curves in.”
    Lili continued to tell the fan she feels an “obligation” to “be strong and show confidence in myself, looking as I do.”
    “And I want other young women to see my body on tv and feel comfort in the fact that I’m not a size 0. And I’m not a perfect hourglass shape,” she said. “This industry struggles with accurate representation of female and male bodies. So I commend the women who have helped our industry take a step in the right – and authentic – direction. (Charli Howard being my favourite role model).”
    Charli Howard is a British plus-size model and body activist.

    Evelyn Lozada Hints at 'Basketball Wives' Exit as She Reveals New Romance

    Instagram

    The VH1 star receives so many wide-ranging questions on Instagram from her relationship with fellow ‘Basketball Wives’ cast members to her next plan for the show.
    Feb 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Evelyn Lozada is in the mood of spilling some tea. The “Basketball Wives” star recently answered some inquiries from her fans during a Q&A session on her Instagram account.
    The VH1 star received so many wide-ranging questions from her relationship with fellow “Basketball Wives” cast members to her next plan for the show. “Are you & Shaunie good??” one fan asked, referring to “BBW” executive producer and co-star Shaunie O’Neal. In response, Evelyn gushes over the ex-wife of Shaquille O’Neal, saying that she’s her “bestie for life.”
    Another asked if she ever missed her ex-husband, former NFL star Chad Ochocinco. “Do you ever miss Chad…it honestly seems like he used to make you laugh all the time?” the question read. She replied, “The crying outweighed the laughter & no everyone has moved one.”
    Someone else asked if she planned to get married again, and Evelyn said, “Yes!!!! This would be my first! Not sure what that other BS was.” That opened another question that read, “Are you still single?” She said, “No,” alongside a sticking out tongue emoji.
    However, Evelyn made it clear that the new man wasn’t her ex-fiance, former MLB star Carl Crawford. “LOL! No,” she responded to a fan who asked if they would ever get back together. “But we’re cool friends and we love & adore.”
    She also 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.
    Fans were happy 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.
