    Porsha Williams Nearly Fired From 'RHOA' Because of This

    Bravo

    Host and executive producer of the Bravo reality TV series Andy Cohen tells Jenny McCarthy that the executives doubted that Porsha was the right fit for the show back in 2012.
    Feb 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Porsha Williams was almost let go by “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” executives, according to host and executive producer Andy Cohen. During his appearance on “The Jenny McCarthy Show”, the Bravo boss revealed that Porsha was nearly fired after the first season of the popular reality TV show.
    The 51-year-old host spilled Jenny that the executives doubted that Porsha was the right fit for the show. “At the end of Porsha’s first season, Porsha was at the reunion, and it had been announced about a day before, that Kordell was leaving her and there was a dialogue amongst the producers about whether Porsha was even going to come back or not at that time. This was at the end of her first season,” Andy revealed.
    Jenny responded, “Wow,” before Andy later continued, “She got up there at the reunion and I was watching and I was like, ‘oh my God.’ ” He shared,”I left and was like, ‘I stand for Porsha, that was incredible’ and she cemented her place on the show.”
    “It’s interesting how things change through the season,” the “Watch What Happens Live” host went on saying. “Even you could be saying, ‘Oh well I don’t think this person’s coming back.’ And then something could happen at the reunion where it changes.”
    He continued gushing over Porsha, who is now a mother of daughter Pilar Jhena whom she shares with fiance Dennis McKinley. “She gave like a two minute soliloquy about who she truly was and how she was going to live her life going forward and this was not going to define her and she is stronger than this and I was like, ‘Oh my god.’ I totally underestimated this woman and look at where she’s now on the show,” admitted Andy.

    [embedded content]

    Fans are rejoiced to have the first-look teaser of the Marvel TV series, which feature characters who were swept away by Thanos in ‘Avengers: Endgame’, that are set to air on Disney+.
    Feb 3, 2020

    In the very short video, the three shows are spliced into one. It opens with Falcon a.k.a. Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) launching Captain America’s signature shield. The new footage also sees Wilson and Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barner a.k.a. Winter Soldier reuniting. It also seems that villainous character Zemo, who appeared in “Captain America: Civil War”, makes a return on the upcoming show.
    Later, fans are given a glimpse of Wanda a.k.a. Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) having a sweet moment with each other in a house. “WandaVision” was previously described at Disney’s biennial D23 convention as a surreal sitcom-like take on their relationship.
    Concluding the show is a look at “Loki” featuring Tom Hiddleston reprising his role as the titular character. “Loki” unfortunately has the shortest duration in the already brief video. It remains to be seen where the scene is taken but Loki can be heard saying, “I’m gonna burn this place to the ground,” while creepily smiling.
    Fans are rejoiced to have the first-look teaser of the Marvel TV series with characters who were swept away by Thanos in “Avengers: Endgame”. However, both Marvel and Disney+ have yet to release the information of the shows’ exact release dates.
    So far, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” is reportedly set to premiere in August. Meanwhile, “WandaVision” was recently confirmed to air in 2020. As for “Loki”, the show will arrive in spring of 2021.

    Erin Doherty: I Had Minor Meltdown After Landing a Role on 'The Crown'

    Netflix

    Speaking at the Newport Beach Film Festival Awards, the actress playing Princess Anne on the Netflix hit series confesses the pressure of playing a well-known public figure got to her.
    Feb 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Actress Erin Doherty suffered a “minor meltdown” after landing her role as British royal Princess Anne in “The Crown”.
    The star joined the hit Netflix show for its third season and, speaking at the Newport Beach Film Festival Awards, she confessed the pressure of playing a well-known public figure got to her.
    “I have hidden from a lot of it (press attention). It is your thing for so long, and then it is released and people are suddenly aware of you,” the actress, who has appeared in British TV shows “Call the Midwife” and the BBC’s version of “Les Miserables”, said, reported U.K. newspaper the Evening Standard.
    “It was an overload for me. So I turned away from it. I got the job. And then I had a minor meltdown. I thought so many people will be like, ‘She wasn’t what I thought she would be.’ I had to be like, ‘You know what, this is my version of this woman.'”
    She added: “Also, not a lot of people of our generation knew her. So in a way it was an introduction.”
    And despite feeling prepared after studying videos of the Queen’s daughter on YouTube, she confessed working alongside such a high-profile cast also affected her.
    “The whole first week for me was like, ‘Erin, calm down’,” she said. “My legs were shaking. I was shaking because there was Helena Bonham Carter, Olivia Colman. It was a lot.”
    Season three of “The Crown” is out now.

    Billy Porter Stirs Debate as He Appears on 'Sesame Street' in His Oscars Gown

    Instagram

    While some people feel conflicted about the show introducing the concept of gender fluidity to kids, some parents have declared a ban on the children’s series.
    Feb 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Billy Porter has sparked a controversy with his upcoming appearance on “Sesame Street”. An LGBTQ activist, the actor has broken barrier with his gender-fluid fashion and that’s apparently the message that the show is going to deliver to children with his guest stint.
    Teasing the forthcoming season 51, the show’s official Instagram page posted a photo of the “Pose” star sporting his black velvet tuxedo gown that he wore to the 2019 Academy Awards. “@theebillyporter bringing those fierce vibes to Sesame Street for #Season51,” so read the caption.
    The photo has since received mixed responses from social media users, with some feeling conflicted about the show introducing the concept of gender fluidity to kids. “I’m not against it but I’m not for it either,” one argued. “It’s the parents responsibility to teach your children that love comes in all shapes sizes colors and it doesn’t matter what you wear. If they’re teaching them something important why should it matter what they have on or who they love. It doesn’t matter. ITS LOVE!”
    Another agreed with the first user and wrote, “This is not okay… Him wearing this is his choice and yes, that is okay… However, you need to leave subjects like this alone and allow the parents to educate their own children when they feel the time is right.”
    One other user added, “So sad to see this on Sesame Street, this is not what we grow up on, this is not about acceptance or love. This is trying to force someone’s lifestyle onto our children, this is confusing and dangerous.”
    Some parents have made it clear that they won’t let their kids watch the show because of this. “Well! No more Sesame Street for my kids. Shame since I’ve watched you since I was little. Now you alienate white children and show them men with dresses on. SHAME ON YOU,” one declared. Another remarked, “My kids won’t be watching that.”
    There were also some people who completely supported the show’s decision to teach kids about embracing diversity by featuring Billy in dress. “this is another teachable moment from Sesame Street and a great one at that .. Well done Guys,” one applauded the show. Another added, “Proud to watch Sesame Street! Proud of those who understand Sesame Street is about acceptance and inclusion! Diversity matters!”
    Billy and “Sesame Street” have not reacted to the debate regarding his upcoming appearance on the children’s TV series.
