      Jamie Foxx's Mike Tyson Biopic Heading to TV as Limited Series

      by

      Instagram

      The project, which will see the ‘Ray’ actor in the starring role, will be executive produced by Antoine Fuqua and Martin Scorsese, and is supported by the former heavyweight boxer himself.

      AceShowbiz –
      Jamie Foxx’s portrayal of Mike Tyson is set to hit the small screen as a limited series.

      The project, which began life as a movie in 2014, will be produced for the small screen by Foxx, who will play the boxer, and executive produced by moviemaking heavyweights Antoine Fuqua and Martin Scorsese.

      Terence Winter was initially on board to write the screenplay, but newcomer Colin Preston has now been primed to pen the series.

      “I have been looking to tell my story for quite some time,” Tyson says. “Now feels like the perfect moment. I look forward to collaborating with Martin, Antoine, Jamie, and the entire creative team to bring audiences a series that not only captures my professional and personal journey but also inspires and entertains.”

      Foxx impressed fight fans last summer (2020) when he showed off his bulked-up physique – as he got into character to play Tyson – in shots posted online. At the time, he shared, “The transformation begins… ‘FINDING MIKE’. It is no secret that I have been pursuing the @miketyson biopic for some time… people always ask me when is it going to happen?… things have finally lined up…”

      “A few months ago we started the journey… The first but biggest task is to transform the body… with a regiment of pull-ups dips and push-ups we are off to a pretty good start… we have a ways to go but God willing,” he continued. “I shared these early pics of the process… like I said we have a ways to go… But I am prepared to get there! #swipeleft TYSON!”

      His isn’t the only limited series focused on the fearsome heavyweight – but the only one backed by Tyson himself.

      The boxer recently lashed out at Hulu executives after they revealed they had ordered a series, titled “Iron Mike”, from “I, Tonya” screenwriter and director Craig Gillespie and executive produced by Margot Robbie and Karin Gist.

      'The Voice': The Judges Complete Their Teams in Final Night of Blind Auditions

      by

      NBC

      Denesha Dalton from Warwick, New York kicks off the night as she takes the stage to sing ‘Pillow Talk’ by Zayn Malik in front of the judges, Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton, Nick Jonas and John Legend.

      Mar 23, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      “The Voice” returned with the last episode of Blind Auditions on Monday, March 22. Denesha Dalton from Warwick, New York kicked off the night as she took the stage to sing “Pillow Talk” by Zayn Malik. The judges loved her performance as Blake Shelton turned his chair for Denesha with John Legend and Kelly Clarkson following his suit.

      “I felt, before I even turned around, that you were so fearless. It was so authentically you. Your smile is infectious and your style as well. I would love for you to be the last person on my team,” John told Denesha. “I have one spot left on my team, whatever that little break thing is that you invented is priceless,” Blake added. Denesha eventually chose to be on Team Legend.

      Next up was Awari from Virginia Beach. Singing “Weak” by AJR, the 35-year-old singer made Kelly and Nick Jonas hit their button for him. “I hit my button first, I love the song collection. I loved your runs, you weren’t trying too hard, it was emotional,” Kelly said. John, meanwhile, called the performance “phenomenal,” adding, “I am just thinking all the fun we could have dipping into the classic R&B stuff, and that so happens to be one of my wife’s favorite songs. You would make me very happy if you pick me.” Awari picked Nick to be his coach.

      The next singer was Charlotte Boyer, who opted to sing Amy Winehouse’s “Love Is a Losing Game”. Unfortunately, no one turned for her. Keegan Ferrell hoped to go to the next round by singing Maroon 5’s “She Will Be Loved” that succeeded to make Kelly and Blake turn their chair.

      “I happen to be friends with the guy who wrote and sang that song,” Blake told Keegan, referring to his fake enemy and former judge Adam Levine. “I want you to look at this coaching panel. Who is missing and who is in this chair. I don’t want to say that Kelly got Adam fired, but he is gone and she is there. If Maroon 5 inspires you, I don’t know if I would choose a coach that is their arch-nemesis. Your voice is so smooth and I don’t have anyone like you on my team, I don’t want to overstep my bounds but there is someone like you on Kelly’s team. There is only one place left on Team Blake.” Keegan did go to Team Blake.

      Conner Snow followed it up with a performance of “The Sea” by Sam Fisher but no one turned for him. Later, Ainae took the stage to sing “Best Part” by Daniel Caesar. “It takes so much air to do what you did and that means that you are a competitor and ready to go. You are super special and the final person on this show,” Kelly commented. With that, the judges have completed their respective team.

      'American Idol': Claudia Conway Eliminated After Struggling in Duet Week

      by

      ABC

      The daughter of former president counselor Kellyanne Conway is paired with Hannah Everhart but the two seemingly have some issues to bond as Claudia can’t find her partner to rehearse.

      Mar 23, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      “American Idol” returned with the second part of Hollywood Week on Monday, March 22. The episode featured the contestants taking to the stage to perform duets with another hopeful in front the judges, who would decide whether one, both, or neither of the two would go to the next round.

      Claudia Conway, the daughter of former president counselor Kellyanne Conway, was paired with Hannah Everhart. “This is not what I was expecting,” Hannah said when she found out that she was put alongside Claudia. “Who did this? Everybody was laughing, but it wasn’t funny. It was not funny. I was scared.”

      Claudia apparently shared the same sentiment. “We come from totally different worlds. We’re two different people,” she said.

      The pair seemingly had some issues to bond as Claudia couldn’t find her partner to rehearse. “It’s not going too well right now,” she shared. “I don’t know where my partner is. We have to practice and figure this out. Watching all the other pairs working together and collaborating is kind of frustrating me. I’m here to win. I’m here to do the best that I can. I’m here to collaborate with my partner, but there’s no partner to collaborate with.”

      In confessional, Hannah shared that she was “kind of hoping they’d pair me with an older person.” She continued, “I do get along with people my age, but it’s hard finding common ground with people my age because I’m an older soul. But this week you have to live in the now, go with the flow. If you think too hard, you’re just going to stress yourself out.” She eventually came around.

      During the pair’s rehearsal, judge Katy Perry visited and advised them to not overshadow each other. “Create that space. If [Claudia’s] not coming as big as you are, then back off,” she added.

        See also…

      Meanwhile, Claudia revealed that she’s “really nervous abut not living up to my potential or doing the best I can. We have some work to do but I have faith we can get there.”

      It was time for them to perform and the ladies hit the stage to sing Harry Styles’ “Sign of the Times”. The judges were not impressed by the performance with Katy thinking that they didn’t give each other space to shine. “Good grown. Really good growth from where I saw you guys yesterday,” Katy said.

      “I appreciate you both made a conscious choice to work together. You guys were flowing together and harmonizing and that was great, but you didn’t carve out enough individual time. When we finally got those moments from you, we wanted more. So we’re at a crossroads right now. This is the hardest part of our jobs,” Katy admitted.

      “Hannah, you come from a town of about 1,200 or less. Everybody knows you’re here. Don’t let them down. You’re going to the next round,” so she told Hannah. Reffering to Claudia, Katy added, “You’re just coming to life. I can see it in you. You’re taking control of your life. I applaud you for that. Claudia, this is going to be the end of the ‘American Idol’ journey for right now. I hope you learned a lot and come and see us again.”

      Claudia wished the best for Hannah, who got emotional over her newfound friendship with the TikTok star. “It’s been wonderful working with you,” Hannah told Claudia. “I really appreciate your support. You’re a really wonderful person. I wish you the best of luck with whatever route you take.” Claudia replied, “I’m going to be cheering for you. I think you can win this thing!”

      'American Idol': Claudia Conway Goes to the Next Round, Mom Kellyane Looks Proud

      by

      ABC

      A new episode of the singing competition show sees singers choosing one of six genres to perform a song from before going head-to-head with other contestants from the same genre in front of the judges.

      Mar 22, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      “American Idol” aired its Hollywood Week on Sunday, March 21. The episode saw singers choosing one of six genres to perform a song from before going head-to-head with other contestants from the same genre in front of the judges, Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan.

      “My audition wasn’t my best,” Claudia Conway, the daughter of former president counselor Kellyanne Conway, admitted before the performance. “I was really, really nervous. I had these doubts in my head telling me, you’re not ready, you’re not good enough. In my life, I’m so focused on all the noise and people hating on me and my family online and on social media.”

      Claudia then recalled what Katy told her during the audition. “Katy Perry told me, ‘You have to calm the storm that is around you.’ She believed in me. I could not be more grateful for that. Now, I’m just drowning out the noise and telling myself I can do it,” she shared.

      She opted to sing a song from the pop genre. Before she hit the stage, host Ryan Seacrest asked Claudia about the importance of joining the show and how it helped her find out who she wants to be. “It’s the most important thing in the world for me,” she shared. “I’ve been trying to establish my own identity for a while. Most people don’t know I’m a singer and it’s very, very important to me.”

        See also…

      Claudia, who traded her blonde hair for dark brown, took the stage to sing “River” by Bishop Briggs. The judges loved her rendition of the song and decided to send her to the next round of Hollywood Week. Her mom looked proud of her as she gave Claudia a standing ovation from her seat.

      During her audition in season 14 premiere, the 16-year-old opted to sing Rihanna’s “Love on the Brain” for her audition. However, it fell flat as the judges wanted her to sing another song. She then decided to redeem herself by singing Adele’s “When We Were Young”.

      While Katy and fellow judge Lionel said yes to Claudia, her performance wasn’t convincing enough for Luke. The country singer thought the song only confirmed Claudia’s “limited” range. Despite that, she was voted throught the next round.

      'The Talk' Hiatus Continues With No Official Return Date After Sharon Osbourne's Outburst

      by

      CBS

      The production on CBS’ all-female panel show has been shelved for another week as the bosses continue investigation amid racism and homophobic allegations against Sharon.

      Mar 22, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Production on Sharon Osbourne’s U.S. show “The Talk” has been shelved for another week as TV bosses continue to investigate a live on-air spat between the Brit and co-host Sheryl Underwood.

      The pair fell out over Sharon’s defence of newsman pal Piers Morgan’s attack on the Duchess of Sussex when Underwood attempted to suggest his comments about the royal’s tabloid torment, made on “Good Morning Britain”, were racist.

      Clearly upset, Sharon demanded an explanation from Sheryl, insisting her outburst inferred that she was a racist for stating Morgan was paid to have an opinion.

      “I feel like I’m about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend who many people think is racist, so that makes me a racist,” Osbourne said. She apologised for the exchange the next day on Twitter.

        See also…

      Following the awkward stand-off on the 10 March (21) episode, former “The Talk” co-hosts Holly Robinson Peete and Leah Remini turned on Osbourne and claimed they had heard her use racially-insensitive and homophobic language behind the scenes on the show.

      Sharon responded by calling the allegations a “setup” and defiantly telling her detractors to “f**k off.”

      The whole drama prompted CBS bosses to shut down “The Talk” and put the show on hiatus for a week. That week has now been extended and now no official return date has been set.

      The TV bosses continue to investigate the heated exchange between Osbourne and Underwood.

      “CBS is committed to a diverse, inclusive and respectful workplace across all of our productions,” a CBS spokesman says. “We’re also very mindful of the important concerns expressed and discussions taking place regarding events on The Talk. This includes a process where all voices are heard, claims are investigated and appropriate action is taken where necessary.”

      Sebastian Stan: Having Black Captain America Is 'Incredibly Powerful Symbol'

      by

      Disney Plus

      The Winter Soldier depicter explains why his superhero series with Anthony Mackie, ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’, is Marvel’s most relevant show yet.

      Mar 21, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Sebastian Stan believes “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” is Marvel’s “most relevant show yet.”

      The actor, 38, appears in the forthcoming Disney+ show as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier and, speaking to GQ Hype, he admitted he had to “find his (character’s) voice” to get into the role.

      Sharing his concerns about having “longer scenes” and “a lot more dialogue” between himself and co-star Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson, Stan explained, “Well, in a way it’s the bit that worried me the most. Not as an actor, per se, but as a fan of the character.”

      “Winter Soldier and Falcon have worked together best when they’ve had little to say to one another. We’re good at quips. So, now, what are they going to say to one another?”

        See also…

      “For this show, I had to find his voice, in all senses, and do it in a way that was timely to what is going on in 2021.”

      He continued, “Look, you can’t do a show that explores the title of Captain America without touching on some of the stuff we have seen on the news. In fact, I would argue this is Marvel’s most relevant show yet.”

      “A Black Captain America is an incredibly powerful symbol, for all those reasons we were discussing, but also he was the right man from a character standpoint (to) take the shield, regardless of race.”

      “Bucky wouldn’t be emotionally intelligent enough or mentally stable enough to be able to handle such huge shoes. His moral compass is somewhat questionable too.”

      Stan first appeared as Bucky in “Captain America: The First Avenger” in 2011 but appeared to die at the end of the film. However, in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”, it was revealed Bucky had survived and he went on to appear in various instalments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

      Mar 21, 2021

      AceShowbiz –

      “So I asked her… and she’s like, ‘Oh, I’d love to.’ And that’s how it kind of came about – pretty organic.”

      On Friday, Rimes posted a shot of herself and Cibrian on the set and added the caption, “So proud and excited for my hubby @EddieCibrian and the whole CC cast and crew! Their brand new series #CountryComfort is out TODAY on @netflix. They had a ‘take your wife to work day’ while filming, so I got to go play on set.”

      LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian previously shared screen in Lifetime’s 2009 TV movie “Northern Lights”. They were soon romantically linked, leading to LeAnn’s divorce from Dean Sheremet and Eddie’s separation from Brandi Glanville.

      by

      Pexels/Rosie Ann

      While some of Bachelor Nation eventually find their soulmate after appearing on the long-running ABC dating show, some others are not so lucky as their romance crumbles down in such a short time.

      Mar 21, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      People hope to find the love of their life by joining ABC’s long-running dating show “The Bachelor”. While some of Bachelor Nation eventually did find their soulmate after appearing on the show, some others were not so lucky when it comes to that.

      Despite drama and breaking others’ heart in the process, some couples ended their relationship in such a short time. A few of them only lasted for five months, while one couple even called it quits after dating for two days.

      Find out Bachelor Nation couples whose relationship crumbles down in a relatively short time.

      1. Clare Crawley and Dale Moss

      ABC/Craig Sjodin

      Clare Crawley and Dale Moss fell in love so fast and split just as fast. The pair made a history by getting engaged only two weeks into the filming of Clare’s “The Bachelorette” season. However, their relationship crumbled down rather quickly with the former football athlete announcing their breakup five months after he popped the question to Clare.

      Taking to his Instagram account, Dale wrote, “I wanted [to] share with you all that Clare and I have decided to go our separate ways. We appreciate the love and support we’ve received from so many people, but this is the healthiest decision for both of us at this time.” He added, “We strongly believe in leading with love and always remaining true to oneself – something our families have taught and instilled in us throughout our lives. We only hope the best things for one another.”

      2. Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell

      ABC

      Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell didn’t get engaged at the finale of Matt’s season of “The Bachelor”, but they declared their love for each other. Apparently, they didn’t have a chance to bring their romance to the next level due to Rachael’s scandal over her past racist behavior.

      Matt shockingly announced that she broke up with Rachael during “After the Final Rose” which was filmed and aired in March 2021, three months after they filmed the finale. “We’re not [together],” Matt said on “After the Final Rose”. “It’s heartbreaking. If you don’t understand that something like that is problematic in 2018, there’s a lot of me that you won’t understand. It’s as simple as that.”

      3. Becca Kufrin and Arie Luyendyk Jr.

      ABC/Paul Hebert

      Arie Luyendyk Jr. was probably the least favorite Bachelor in the franchise history. During his season 22 of the show, Arie proposed to Becca Kufrin in the finale while eliminating his runner-up Lauren Burnham.

      However, less than two months later he admitted to Becca in front of camera that he had just realized that his heart was for Lauren. Arie and Lauren eventually got married in January 2019. They share a daughter together and are currently expecting their second child.

      4. Hannah Ann Sluss and Peter Weber

      ABC

      Peter Weber and Hannah Ann Sluss got engaged in November 2019 after meeting in season 24 of “The Bachelor”. However, the pair’s romance didn’t last long as the pilot confessed by the end of January 2020 that he still had lingering feelings for another lady in his season, Madison Prewett.

      “I never intended to give my heart to two people. I never intended that,” Peter told Hannah Ann. “And the pain that come with that. I’ve just been battling it. And I haven’t hid anything from you. I’ve told you everything. Even when I don’t deserve it, you never left me. You’ve always stood by me. You’ve always given me that love.”

      5. Hannah Brown and Jed Wyatt

      ABC

      At the end of her “The Bachelorette” season, Hannah Brown was a happily engaged woman after Jed Wyatt proposed to her. However, it all came to a crashing halt once she found out that Jed left a girlfriend when he joined the show.

      “It was heartbreaking,” Hannah admitted in an interview with PEOPLE. She added, “The foundation of what I believe love is is based on honesty and truth. If he loved me, wanted the best for me, why did he not give that to me? He always said he never wanted to hurt me, but he hurt me worse than anybody else did.” She was only engaged to Jed for five weeks before she decided to call it quits.

      6. Aaron Buerge and Helene Eksterowicz

      ABC/Craig Sjodin

      Aaron Buerge and Helena Eksterowicz once were a happy engaged couple. The pair had such a rough relationship as they broke off their engagement not only once but twice and they were all short-length. According to Helene, she first broke off their engagement two months after Aaron popped the question to her during the filming in September 2002, noting that she caught him ogling another woman.

      However, they managed to get back together and Aaron even proposed to her again when they watched the finale on TV together. The happy ending didn’t last long because Aaron had the most shocking way to end their romance five weeks after the episode aired. He took her to a Starbucks near her New Jersey home to tell her he was no longer “invested” in their relationship. “It felt like a bomb dropped. I said, ‘I feel very deceived by you. You’ve told me every single day that you love me, and now this is it?’ ” Helene recalled. Meanwhile, Aaron insisted that “it was just the best decision” for both of them.

      7. Jason Mesnick and Melissa Rycroft

      ABC/Matt Klitscher

      Jason Mesnick is another The Bachelor who appeared to not be able to figure his own feelings ahead of the finale of his season. He proposed to Melissa Rycroft in season 13 finale only to tell her one month later that he still had feelings for runner up Molly Malaney during “After the Final Rose”.

      “To say that we went into that After the Final Rose in an absolutely perfect place is a lie. [But] had we completely severed ties and broken up? No!” Melissa shared of the split. “You could have at least warned a chick before he walked out here. We talked minutes before I went out on that stage, and he never said anything.”

      8. Jesse Palmer and Jessica Bowlin

      ABC/Craig Sjodin

      Jesse Palmer and Jessica Bowlin didn’t manage to save their relationship. In the finale of Jesse’s “The Bachelor” season, he famously gave his intended, Jessica Bowlin, an airline ticket to New York. However, just one month after the episode aired, the couple revealed that they decided to go separate ways.
      “Jessica and I shared an incredible romantic journey on the show that began with a friendship that remains strong today. We simply realized that, individually, our next steps take us in different directions,” the New York Giants backup quarterback said in a statement. As for Jessica, she said of the split, “With too much distance and too little time these were not ideal circumstances in which to start a relationship. Jesse is a great guy and has a wonderful family. Who knows what the future holds?”

      9. Bob Guiney and Estella Gardinier

      ABC

      Bob Guiney presented Estella Gardinier the final rose at the finale of his “The Bachelor” season back in November 2003. However, the pair’s romance came to an end in a rather nasty way as Bob broke up with her over the phone just one month after the sweet moment.

      “He’s not the person I thought he was,” Estella said. I don’t see any reason to ever have a conversation with him. The path that I’m taking is different from Bob’s. He’s a big-time star now! He’s big-time, so my life doesn’t compare to that.”

      10. Madison Prewett and Peter Weber

      ABC/John Fleenor

      Peter Weber broke Hannah Ann’s heart just to be with Madison. They did get together after the whole drama but their romance came to a halt just two days after their “After the Final Rose” interview. It appeared that Peter’s mom had something to do with the split as she’s against Madison.

      “Madi and I have mutually decided to not pursue our relationship any further,” Peter announced. “Believe me this was not easy for either of us to be OK with, but after a lot of honest conversations, we have agreed that this is what makes most sense for the two of us. The love and respect I have for Madi will continue to endure.”
