    AceShowbiz – When it comes to “Carpool Karaoke”, people are naturally thinking that it was the fun times when James Corden is driving car around the city with stars joining them as they are singing inside the car. However, a new video that circulated online appeared to show that James wasn’t actually driving.
    The said video, which was shared by a Twitter user, offered a behind-the-scenes of the popular segment of “The Late Late Show with James Corden”.

However, the thing that caught fans’ attention the most was that James wasn’t actually driving as the car was being pulled by a truck.
    “Saw James Corden and Justin Bieber filming Carpool Karaoke and this is why I have trust issues–he isn’t even driving!” the Twitter user, @ZoliHonig, wrote on blue bird app. “Next thing you know they gonna tell us that his friends don’t *actually* need a ride,” he added.

    However, one person insisted that he saw James driving while filming other episodes. “Y’all when I saw One Direction filming Carpool Karaoke James was actually driving,” the person tweeted.
    James himself 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.

    James Corden laughed off speculations that he didn’t drive on ‘Carpool Karaoke’.
    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).”

    Starz

    Naturi Naughton, who portrays his mother and Ghost’s wife Tasha, is among those who react to the revelation in the comment section of Michael’s recent Instagram post.
    Jan 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Some people apparently can’t separate fictional characters from real life actors. As hit Starz “Power” is coming to an end, fans of the series are getting wild and that includes to harass one of its cast members for allegedly killing their favorite character on the TV series.
    The leading man of the show James “Ghost” St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick) has been killed and people are eager to find out who was the culprit. Now, a leaked version of the ending shows that the one who shot the fan-favorite character was none other than James’ son Tariq, played by Michael Rainey Jr., because he had a serious vendetta against his father.
    In the clip Tariq could be seen telling Ghost, “I can’t go back,” to which the latter responded, “Hey, son, I love you, okay?” Tariq then pulled the trigger.
    That seemingly drove fans mad. Their strong attachment to the story appeared to make them think it was okay to harass the actor in real life as Michael took to his Instagram account to rant about the numerous death threats he’s been receiving over the plot of the TV show he’s starring on.
    Sharing on Instagram on Wednesday, January 22 a slew of pictures of him donning a confused expression, Michael wrote in the caption, “Me going through my dms tryna figure out why I have 326 death threat messages.”

    Naturi Naughton, who portrays his mother and Ghost’s wife Tasha, was among those who reacted to the revelation in the comment section. She apparently found that funny yet unnecessary as she left a couple of laughing and face-palming emojis. La La Anthony, who plays LaKeisha Grant on the show, also commented, putting some face-palming emojis.
    “Strange world we live in. SMH!!! It’s just a show people,” a fan wrote. Meanwhile, some fans praised him for his stunning performance on the series. “Cause you play the hell out of that Power role, my man.. keep shinning Bro!” one fan wrote.
    The final and sixth season of “Power” airs on Sundays at 8 P.M. ET.

    Terry Crews Praises 'AGT' as the 'Most Diverse Place' Amid Gabrielle Union's Controversial Firing

    The host of the NBC talent competition show also shares on ‘3rd Hour of Today’ that he goes to his wife, Rebecca King-Crews, for advice regarding what he should do in the situation.
    Jan 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Terry Crews has weighed in on reports that former “America’s Got Talent” judge Gabrielle Union was effectively fired from the NBC competition show in November over sexism and racism issue. The show’s host addressed the issue while stopping by on “3rd Hour of Today” on Thursday, January 23.
    “First of all I can’t speak for sexism because I’m not a woman, but I can speak on behalf on any racism comments,” he said, noting that he never experienced any sort of racism while working on the show. “That was never my experience on ‘America’s Got Talent’, in fact, it was the most diverse place I have ever been in my 20 years of entertainment. The Top 10 acts were asian, women, older, younger, black, white, it was everything in the gamut.”
    Terry went on saying that the racism allegations were never publicly confirmed by Gabrielle and first emerged from an unnamed source. “Now I have to say this too. When you look at what the allegations were about, it was given by an unnamed source.”
    He also shared that he went to his wife, Rebecca King-Crews, for advice regarding what he should do in the situation. “It’s funny, because I believe you should listen to women, you should always believe women, so I asked my wife what I should do,” he explained. “She was like, first of all, if it’s coming from an unnamed source, because Gabrielle Union has not made any statement to this day about any of these allegations publicly.”
    Terry wasn’t the only one who claimed that they never experience bad things on the show. Heidi Klum, who served as a judge on the show for six years, recently shared that “everyone treats you with the utmost respect. I’ve never seen anything that was weird or hurtful.”
    “Six years I was there. I loved it. Of course, there’s always this cat and dog fight, but this is fun. … I mean also it’s like, ‘Everyone relax a little bit.’ For me, being on television, I want to entertain people. I want people to have a good time,” the former “Project Runway” host explained. “I want people to, like, get away from their life for two hours and just have fun and enjoy.”
    Meanwhile, Julianne Hough, who was also ousted at the same time as Gabrielle, revealed on “Today Show” back in December that she applauded Gabrielle for standing up for herself. “When I see that comment there that excites me so much because that is what we need to start conversations and I just commend Gabrielle for speaking her truth and starting a conversation,” she said.
    “And I’m really proud of NBC as well for showing up and starting a narrative and that’s what’s going to change the workplace and the paradigm that we’ve been working in for many, many years. It’s shifting and that’s really exciting,” she added.
    Following her firing, which reportedly was resulted from her rising concern about the “toxic” work environment, Gabrielle wrote on Twitter, “So many tears, so much gratitude. Just when you feel lost, adrift, alone … you got me up off the ground. Humbled and thankful, forever.”
    The actress later talked about workplace inequalities during a female empowerment and inclusivity panel back in mid December. “Don’t be the happy negro that does the bidding of the status quo because you’re afraid. Don’t allow them to call you angry when someone else is called passionate. It’s terrifying. There’s a solid chance you’ll lose your job … I speak from experience,” she shared.
