    Meghan Trainor Hysterical Over Dr. Phil's Surprise Appearance During 'Carpool Karaoke'

    CBS

    Taking part in the musical segment of ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’, the ‘All About That Bass’ hitmaker admits to watching the self-help guru’s show on YouTube every morning.
    Feb 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Pop star Meghan Trainor feared she would “throw up” in excitement after TV doctor Phil McGraw crashed her appearance on Carpool Karaoke.
    The “All About That Bass” hitmaker was belting out her songs with comedian James Corden for the musical segment of Thursday night’s, January 30, “The Late Late Show with James Corden” when Dr. Phil climbed into the backseat of their car, much to Trainor’s surprise.
    The thrilled singer, who had just confessed to watching the self-help guru’s show on YouTube every morning, squealed at the sight of the TV medic, and said, “I’m gonna throw up! I’m so excited! Your teeth look so good.”
    His presence inspired Trainor to share a little about the mental health struggles she overcame following her second operation for vocal cord issues in 2017.
    “I wrote an album called ‘Treat Myself’ because I went through panic disorder,” she explained. “I was in the red zone of anxiety, where it was giving me hot flashes. Two years later I’m slaying (killing it). But I was uneducated about what anxiety could do to your body.”

    Praising the 26-year-old for opening up so publicly about her personal troubles, Dr. Phil replied, “Isn’t it great that you’re willing to talk about it? There’s a lot of people who go through this and go, ‘Oh, no, I got a stigma, I don’t want to talk about it.’ ”
    “But when you talk about it, you have no idea how many millions of people will say, ‘Well if she can talk about it, I can talk about it.’ When you talk about it, it gives it a face, it gives it a voice.”

    'The Crown' to Conclude With Season 5, Imelda Staunton Confirmed as Queen Elizabeth II

    WENN

    Series creator Peter Morgan explains in a new interview why there will only be one more season after the fourth although it was originally planned for six seasons.
    Feb 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Netflix hit British royal drama “The Crown” will end after a fifth series with Imelda Staunton playing Queen Elizabeth II, according to its creator, Peter Morgan.
    The show, which over three series so far has shown the Queen’s life from 1947 until 1977, was expected to run for at least two more series, taking events close to the present day.
    However, Morgan says that there will only be one more season after the fourth, which is currently in production and it will show the royals in the 1980s.
    “At the outset I had imagined ‘The Crown’ running for six seasons,” he tells British newspaper The Sun. “But now that we have begun work on the stories for season five it has become clear to me that this is the perfect time and place to stop.”
    Cutting proceedings short after five seasons, will likely mean the show ends in the early 2000s rather than depicting present day events.
    Morgan also confirmed reports that Imelda Staunton will take over the role of Queen Elizabeth from Olivia Colman for the fifth season, praising her as an “astonishing talent… taking “The Crown” into the 21st Century.”
    On taking up the part that’s also been played by Claire Foy in seasons one and two, Staunton added: “I have loved watching The Crown from the very start. As an actor it was a joy to see how both Claire Foy and Olivia Colman brought something special and unique to Peter Morgan’s scripts.
    “I am genuinely honoured to be joining such an exceptional creative team and to be taking ‘The Crown’ to its conclusion.”

    Gwyneth Paltrow's 'The Goop Lab' Series Branded 'Misleading' by NHS Chief

    Instagram

    U.K.’s National Health Service Executive Simon Stevens believes the actress’ new Netflix show is putting fans’ health at risk by promoting unfounded health claims.
    Feb 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Gwyneth Paltrow’s new Netflix show has been slammed by the head of Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) for putting fans’ health at risk by promoting unfounded health claims.
    Paltrow expanded her wellness brand Goop’s reach into streaming TV with the release of her “The Goop Lab” series this month, which features the star and colleagues at the firm exploring alternative therapies for physical and mental ailments.
    However, according to the BBC, NHS Chief Executive Simon Stevens has accused the show of spreading “misinformation.”
    “Her brand peddles psychic vampire repellent, says chemical sunscreen is a bad idea, and promotes colonic irrigation and DIY coffee enema machines, despite them carrying considerable risks to health,” Stevens said at an academic event on Thursday, January 30.
    A spokeswoman for Goop told the BBC show and brand were “transparent when we cover emerging topics that may be unsupported by science or may be in early stages of review.”
    And representatives of Netflix pointed out when contacted by WENN, the show opens with a medical disclaimer.
    “The following series is designed to entertain and inform — not provide medical advice,” the advice card reads. “You should always consult your doctor when it comes to your personal health or before you start any treatment.”
    Stevens took aim at the “dubious wellness products and dodgy procedures” featured in The Goop Lab as part of a wider trend of misleading internet health advice.
    “Myths and misinformation have been put on steroids by the availability of misleading claims online,” he said. “While the term ‘fake news’ makes most people think about politics, people’s natural concern for their health, and particularly about that of their loved ones, makes this particularly fertile ground for quacks, charlatans and cranks.”

    In 2018, Goop agreed to pay $145,000 (£112,000) for making “unscientific claims” about “vaginal eggs” it was selling after facing legal from officials at California’s consumer protection office.

    The ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ star first sparked backlash after he opted out from defending the ‘Bring It On’ star despite her support for him when he opened up about his sexual assault ordeal.
    Feb 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Terry Crews has backtracked on his controversial comment. Days after coming under fire for refusing to stand up for Gabrielle Union amid the drama surrounding her firing from “America’s Got Talent”, the actor took to Twitter on Friday, January 31 to issue an apology to the actress and other black women who were hurt by his comment.
    He started off by recalling something that he once told Kevin Hart, before admitting he needed to do the same thing. “I told @KevinHart4real a while ago, he needed 2 ‘acknowledge the pain of other people.’ Right now I have to do the same thing. I want to apologize for the comments I made,” he said on the app. “I realize there are a lot of Black women hurt and let down by what I said and also by what I didn’t say.”
    Terry went on to assure that he supports black women, before once again apologizing for what he did. He said, “I spoke from my own personal point of without first taking into consideration someone else’s experience.” The “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” star also admitted he deserves all the backlash he has been receiving and hopes that “I can amend any pain I have caused to those who were hurt by my words.”
    Lastly, he directly mentioned Gabrielle to let her know that “it was never my intention to invalidate your experience but that is what I did.” He added, “I apologize. You have been through a lot in this business, and with that I empathize with the struggle toward fairness and equality in the workplace.”
    Calling the “Bring It On” star a “role model to the entire black community,” Terry concluded, “In my desire to be professionally neutral as your co-worker, I should have at the very least understood you just needed my support. Sincerely, Terry Crews.”

    Terry Crews apologized to Gabrielle Union.
    Terry first sparked outrage when he addressed Gabrielle’s exit on “3rd Hour of Today”, opting out from defending the 47-year-old star despite her support for him when he opened up about his sexual assault ordeal in the past. The backlash only got worse when he tweeted, “There is only one woman one earth I have to please. Her name is Rebecca. Not my mother, my sister, my daughters or co-workers. I will let their husbands/boyfriends/partners take care of them. Rebecca gives me WINGS.”

    James Corden Explains Confusion About Who Drives on 'Carpool Karaoke' After Viral Video

    WENN/Instar

    In the Wednesday night, January 29, episode of his show ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’, the British host addressed the controversial ‘scandal’ in a mock seriousness.
    Jan 31, 2020
    AceShowbiz – James Corden has addressed the speculations that he doesn’t drive the car on “Carpool Karaoke” after a fan video, featuring a car with him and Justin Bieber inside being towed on a platform behind a larger vehicle. The clip successfully shocked everyone who thought that James drives the car for all this time. Now, the host has decided to come clean about the “scandal.”
    In the Wednesday night, January 29, episode of his show “The Late Late Show with James Corden”, James addressed the issue in a mock seriousness. “I want to assure you that these accusations are not true. I am of course talking about the people saying that I don’t drive the car during ‘Carpool Karaoke’.”
    “I know this looks bad,” the British host said. “But I just want to say right now that I always drive the car unless we’re doing something that we think might not be safe, like a dance routine or a costume change … or if I’m drunk,” he joked.
    “In the case of Justin Bieber it was a safety issue where we thought it was best to tow the car. Frankly, I just kept getting lost in his eyes,” he continued saying, before reading some headlines calling the scandal was “the worst lie since Santa” and the web series itself “TV’s biggest con.”
    “I’m just shocked I’ve done something that’s upset people more than ‘Cats’,” he said. James later flashed a list of the five instances in which his car was towed during the filming of an episode of “Carpool Karaoke”, including Migos, Cardi B and Justin. “I am nothing if not a man of integrity. I swear to you, 95% of the time, I really am endangering the lives of the world’s biggest pop stars.”

    James himself initially just laughed it off the speculations. Taking it to the official Twitter account of the late night account, the British host joked, “guys, we don’t even use a real car,” alongside a photo of him and Samuel L. Jackson filming CGI scene while holding a car steering wheel control.
    The show then set the records straight in a statement. “James always drives during ‘Carpool Karaoke,” the statement read. “However, on the rare occasion when there is a stunt component and the producers feel it is unsafe to drive, we will use a rig (tow).”

    Meghan McCain on Whoopi Goldberg 'The View' Fight: 'She Was Having a Bad Day'

    ABC

    During her appearance on ‘WWHL’, the 35-year-old conservative host also addresses rumors of her beefing with Abby Huntsman and that was the reason for her to leave the show.
    Jan 31, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Unlike what has been reported, Meghan McCain is not feuding with any of her co-hosts on “The View”. The 35-year-old conservative host stopped by “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” on Thursday, January 30 and she was more than happy to set the record straight.
    When asked about the time when Whoopi Goldberg asked her to stop talking during a heated argument, Meghan explained, “It was rough and I’d say that she was having a bad day, and we talked about it that night and the next day.”
    “You know, it’s live TV and it’s really intense, stressful times for anyone. I adore her; she apologized off air, she apologized on air,” she continued defending Whoopi. “We all f**ked up on the show. It’s live, it’s every day and I forgive her and I love her.”
    Meghan even said that she wouldn’t continue being on the show should Whoopi leave.”Whoopi is the anchor of the show, my life there; she always picks us up when we’re down. But, if she jumps, I jump. I adore her and I need her as the moderator.”
    The said heated argument took place in the December 16 episode of “The View”, in which they were discussing President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial. Co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar were trying to speak but Meghan cut them off, prompting Whoopi to say to Meghan, “Girl, please stop talking, please stop talking right now.” Meghan then responded, “I won’t talk for the rest of the show,” to which Whoopi replied, “I’m okay with that. I’m okay with that! If you’re going to behave like this. You’re talking over people.”
    During her appearance on “WWHL”, Meghan also addressed rumors of her beefing with Abby Huntsman and that was the reason for her to leave “The View”. Explaining that she and Abby have been friends for so many years, Meghan admitted that they did have a small fight.

    “It was a very small fight, a friend fight,” Meghan said. “All friendships have their ups and downs, and it was bizarre to me, and I think bizarre for her, that the fact that we got into one fight during the two years we worked on the show was… weaponized.”
