      Mar 28, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Actress and activist Sophia Bush has partnered with bosses at top podcast platform Wondery to expand the reach of her long-running audio series.

      The “One Tree Hill” star has been podcasting since long before the COVID pandemic kicked in last year (20) and the audio broadcasting medium exploded.

      Now, Sophia is taking her hit show, “Work In Progress”, to Wondery, where she will continue her interviews with change makers, influencers and politicians.

      Previous guests have included Hillary Clinton, Natalie Portman, designer Diane von Furstenberg, and Spanish chef Jose Andres.

      It’s not Sophia’s only media news this week (ends26Mar21) – she was also named the co-founder of and advisor for new company Fashionkind, and plans to work to reduce the environmental impact of garment design, manufacture, and sales.

      Writing on Instagram, Bush shares that she and her new partner Nina Farran “will work to do all we can to help change fashion from within and bring real change to the industry at large…”

      “This is a huge endeavor – a moonshot if you will – and we hope you’ll be part of the journey as we grow, and strive to create a more beautiful and more equitable world,” she said.

      In another post, the actress added, “I wanted to see how we might go about creating industry-wide change. For so long, that kind of change felt more like a dream than a reality that I might be able to contribute to. So you can imagine how incredibly excited I was to have the opportunity to work on changing that from within!”

      'Coronation Street' Star Bill Roache Written Out of Show to Recover From Covid-19

      by

      ITV

      The Ken Barlow depicter has been forced to take a hiatus from the long-running soap opera to enter quarantine and recover after he tested positive for coronavirus.

      Mar 28, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Actor Bill Roache was forced to take time off filming U.K. soap opera “Coronation Street” after contracting Covid-19.

      The 88-year-old, who has played Ken Barlow in the show since its 1960 debut, tested positive for the coronavirus and was written out of the soap as he took time to recover.

      However, a spokesperson for the ITV show has confirmed Bill is on the mend and is set to return to the famous cobbles “as soon as possible.”

      “Following recent reports about his health, William Roache has asked us to clarify that he took time off work after testing positive for Covid,” they told the Daily Mirror. “He has recovered well and is looking forward to returning to the cobbles as soon as possible.”

        See also…

      A source added that storylines involving Ken were “currently being written,” explaining bosses are “limiting the time we are filming with the more elderly cast during the pandemic.”

      “He is doing really well and is looking forward to returning,” they shared. “Bill is such a well-loved member of the team and everyone is delighted he has recovered so well.”

      “We can’t wait to have him back.”

      Like most projects, “Coronation Street” halted filming when the lockdown was first announced in March 2020. The cast and crew resumed filming in a restricted manner several months later. Due to social distancing guideline, they used real-life couples as body doubles for kissing scenes.

      “Coronation Street” wasn’t the only show employing the clever trick. Another U.K. soap opera “EastEnders” and U.S. daytime series “The Bold and The Beautiful” also recruited real-life partners for intimate scenes.

      Wyatt Russell Auditioned for Captain America Years Before Joining 'The Falcon and The Winter Soldier

      by

      WENN/Brian To

      During an appearance on ‘Good Morning America’, the son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn admits he did not thing he was ever actually in competition for the role that went to Chris Evans.

      Mar 27, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Actor Wyatt Russell’s career has come full circle with Marvel series “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier” as his very first audition was for the original “Captain America” movie.

      The son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn was unveiled as “the new Captain America” at the end of the first episode of the Disney+ series, which premiered last week (March 19), with Wyatt’s character taking on the mantle following the departure of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers and his superhero alter ego.

      The role is one Wyatt was apparently destined to play as he reveals he actually tried out for 2011’s “Captain America: The First Avenger”, in which Evans made his debut as the titular icon.

      “It’s a fun story,” he shared on breakfast show “Good Morning America”. “I think that honestly, the first audition was really more just something to read, to see if I was any good at acting or not. I don’t think I was ever actually in competition for the role, but it was crazy.”

      Almost a decade later, Wyatt was invited back to Marvel Studios to audition for a top secret project – and everything was kept so under wraps, he didn’t know what he was trying out for until after he had actually landed the role.

      “This time it came around, and… I had no idea even what it was,” he confessed. “[His agent] was just like, ‘Marvel wants you to read for something, go for it.’ I found out after I got the part what it was…”

        See also…

      Wyatt has since been forced to stay silent regarding further details about his version of Captain America, refusing to reveal if his character is a good or a bad guy.

      “You’re gonna have to [watch to] find that out,” he said, before quipping, “There’s two men in black suits here with red dots trained on my forehead if I give you any information!”

      Wyatt joins his dad Kurt in the Marvel world, and recalls his father only had two key pieces of advice to share with him when he learned of his part in “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”.

      “He thought it was great [news],” Wyatt recalled. “His advice is always the same: if it’s good, it’s good, and you do it and you try to be the best you can, and be weary of the suit!”

      “Everybody seems to have the same issue with the suit – the suits are sort of difficult to live in for that many hours a day,” Wyatt added.

      Kurt was cast as Ego in 2017’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2”.

      Sharon Osbourne Leaves 'The Talk' After Racism Scandal

      by

      CBS/Cliff Lipson

      The news of her departure arrives two weeks after the 68-year-old British was involved in a heated argument with black co-host Sheryl Underwood as the former was confronted over her support to Piers Morgan.

      Mar 27, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Sharon Osbourne is leaving “The Talk”. The news of her departure was announced by CBS in a statement which was released on Friday, March 26, two weeks after the 68-year-old British was involved in a heated argument about race with black co-host Sheryl Underwood.

      “Sharon Osbourne has decided to leave ‘The Talk’. The events of the March 10 broadcast were upsetting to everyone involved, including the audience watching at home,” the statement read. “As part of our review, we concluded that Sharon’s behavior toward her co-hosts during the March 10 episode did not align with our values for a respectful workplace.”

      Through the statement, CBS also addressed Sharon’s claims that she was “blindsided” by producers. The wife of Ozzy Osbourne previously shared that they gave other co-hosts cue cards of questions in which they confronted Sharon for defending pal Piers Morgan who claimed that he didn’t believe Meghan Markle’s revelations in her and Prince Harry’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.

      Shutting down Sharon’s claims, the statement continued, “We also did not find any evidence that CBS executives orchestrated the discussion or blindsided any of the hosts.” It added, “At the same time, we acknowledge the Network and Studio teams, as well as the showrunners, are accountable for what happened during that broadcast as it was clear the co-hosts were not properly prepared by the staff for a complex and sensitive discussion involving race.”

        See also…

      “During this week’s hiatus, we are coordinating workshops, listening sessions and training about equity, inclusion and cultural awareness for the hosts, producers and crew. Going forward, we are identifying plans to enhance the producing staff and producing procedures to better serve the hosts, the production and, ultimately, our viewers,” the statement concluded.

      Sharon has been under fire after she defended Piers in a tweet. “I am with you. I stand by you,” she wrote at the time. “People forget that you’re paid for your opinion and that you’re just speaking your truth.”

      Her decision to support Piers, who declared he didn’t believe anything the Duchess had said, including accusing members of the royal family of racism, was then brought into the topic in an episode of the popular talk show as Sheryl asked her what she would say to people who felt it was racist to defend a person making such comments.

      To the question, Sharon replied, “For me, at 68 years of age to have to turn around and say ‘I ain’t racist’ – what’s it got to do with me? How could I be racist about anybody? How could I be racist about anybody or anything in my life? How can I?”

      “I will ask you again, Sheryl, I was asking you during the break and I’m asking you again. And don’t try and cry, because if anyone should be crying, it should be me,” Sharon responded. “This is the situation: you tell me where you have heard him say – educate me. Tell me when you have heard him say racist things. Educate me. Tell me.”

      Mandy Moore Returns to Work One Month After Giving Birth

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Candy’ hitmaker is back on the set, reuniting with her TV co-stars and filming their hit television series ‘This Is Us’ only a month after delivering her first child.

      Mar 27, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Mandy Moore has returned to work on TV hit “This Is Us” just one month after becoming a first-time mother.

      The actress/singer gave birth to son August, nicknamed Gus, in late February (21), and on Thursday (25Mar21), she shared photos from her first day back on set as she prepared to reprise her role as family matriarch Rebecca Pearson.

      Sharing a selfie, in which she wore a face mask while having her hair styled, she wrote on her Instagram Story timeline, “Mom is BACK at work!!!”

      “Beck is back (sic),” she added beside a second shot, revealing her baby and her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, were supporting her on set.

        See also…

      “So grateful to be able to ease back into this job I love so much (and to be able to bring my sweet hubby and baby to hang with me).”

      Mandy then posted a third selfie, dressed in her character’s costume of brown turtleneck and denim skirt, and corrected her own misspelling of her alter ego’s name, “And when I mean Beck, I clearly meant Bec (sic).”

      Little Gus is Mandy’s first child with musician Taylor. The couple wed in 2018.

      The actress previously credited her “This Is Us” role for “activating [her] maternal side.” At the beginning of the TV show, she knew very little about kids and had to learn how to change diapers and care for babies from crew members on the set.

      “I didn’t know how to change a diaper,” so she opened up in an interview with Conan O’Brien. “I had crew members showing me how to change a diaper.”

      Bono Brings In Penelope Cruz and David Oyelowo for Animated Series About COVID Vaccines

      by

      WENN/AEDT/Instar

      The U2 frontman launches ‘Pandemica’, which also features Michael Sheen, Kumail Nanjiani and Danai Gurira among others, through his ONE global health and anti-poverty charity.

      Mar 26, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Rocker and activist Bono has recruited Penelope Cruz, Michael Sheen, and David Oyelowo to lend their voices to a new animated series promoting the importance of access to vaccines.

      The U2 frontman has launched “Pandemica” through his ONE global health and anti-poverty charity, with fellow castmembers including Kumail Nanjiani, Danai Gurira, Phoebe Robinson, and Wanda Sykes.

      The seven-episode series features the stars as various characters as they highlight the lack of coronavirus vaccines available to people in many of the world’s poorest countries.

      “Pandemica’s animated world animates a simple truth – that where you live shouldn’t determine whether you get these life-saving shots,” Bono shared in a statement.

        See also…

      “Even while many of us still wait our turn, we need to commit to making sure that billions of people around the world aren’t left at the back of the line. It’s the right thing to do, obviously, but it’s also the only way out of this pandemic for all of us. If the vaccine isn’t everywhere, this pandemic isn’t going anywhere.”

      “We’re all trapped in Pandemica, but only some can get out,” Oyelowo said as he discussed the series.

      “This virus thrives on inequality, and right now billions of people around the world are seeing the promise of a vaccine, but not the opportunity to receive it. We must step up and do what it takes to end this pandemic for everyone, everywhere.”

      Cruz has also shared her thought on the series. “Pandemica is a compelling illustration of the inequality around the world,” she said in a statement. “I hope that everyone who watches this series will use their voice and take action to ensure that no one gets left behind.”

      All episodes are available to view on the ONE campaign’s YouTube channel.

      'RHOA' Star LaToya Ali Hits Back at Falynn Guobadia for Accusing Her of Faking-Sick to Skip Reunion

      by

      Instagram

      LaToya first hints that she’s feeling unfit in an Instagram post featuring a picture of her lounging in a sofa while pouting in pajamas and a long fleece jacket, writing in the caption, ‘I’m sick.’

      Mar 26, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      The tension between LaToya Ali and “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” co-star Falynn Guobadia is just growing day by day. After getting into a fight that almost got physical in a recent episode of the Bravo reality show, the two got into an online spat with Falynn accusing LaToya of pretending to be sick in order to avoid filming reunion special.

      LaToya first hinted that she was feeling unfit in an Instagram post on Wednesday, March 24. She posted a picture of her lounging in a sofa while wearing pajamas and a long fleece jacket. LaToya, who completed her look with a pair of adorable tiger slippers, was seen pouting. “I’m sick,” so she wrote in the caption.

      Falynn then posted on Twitter a shady tweet that seemingly was directed at LaToya. “You can stop playing sick, girl. I won’t be there,” so Falynn wrote, alluding that they won’t face each other at the reunion.

        See also…

      LaToya apparently caught wind of the shade and quickly fired back at Falynn. “Hubby kicked her out the empire and can’t afford a flight,” she mocked Falynn before challenging her to “meet me at the Reunion.”

      In a separate post, LaToya further taunted Falynn by writing, “And bring the golf club.” That was clearly a reference to their fight in the latest episode of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” in which Falynn grabbed a golf club and was about to go to LaToya before being held back by staff and fellow co-stars.

      LaToya Ali hit back at Falynn Guobadia on Twitter.

      In the episode, LaToya started to get on Falynn’s nerves as she started demanding that Falynn mixed her a drink instead of mixing it for herself like everyone else did. The last straw was when she gave Falynn a backhanded compliment about her house and husband. LaToya mentioned about Falynn having a 65-year-old husband, while actually Simon is 56 years old. At one point, Falynn was ready to go at LaToya with a golf stick before Kandi Burruss and others stopped her.
