      Carole Baskin Blames 'Mob Mentality' for Abuse She Receives After 'Tiger King'

      by

      Facebook

      The former ‘Dancing with the Stars’ contestant claims she was the victim of a ‘mob mentality’ following Netflix’s docuseries which aired during Covid-19 lockdown.

      Mar 21, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Carole Baskin believes she was the victim of a “mob mentality” off the back of her appearance on Netflix’s “Tiger King” docuseries.

      The 59-year-old animal rights activist shot to fame on the show last year (20) but quickly became the target of abuse, which Carole believes is a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic and the “uprising of mob mentality.”

      She told Netflix.co.uk, “In the past year, I’ve seen this mob mentality take over in every aspect, everywhere we’re seeing this really huge uprising of mob mentality.”

      “I don’t know what’s causing that other than the fact that we’re all sharing in the same pandemic and we’re all afraid. I believe it’s causing people to do and say certain things, and to join into certain groups or cliques. I feel that actually had a big part of why I got so much hate from people that don’t know anything about me.”

      Carole’s arch-nemesis, zoo owner Joe Exotic, who also featured in “Tiger King” – has been jailed for attempting to hire a hitman to murder her, but Carole received abuse over an episode of the show which looked at the mysterious disappearance of her second husband, Don Lewis.

      She said, “If people had been paying attention, they would have noticed that the sheriff’s office said I’ve never even been a person of interest in the disappearance of my husband. Yet not the takeaway that people came away with after watching the show.”

      “In Tiger King, all of those bad guys and people who were abusing animals kept saying ‘Everything that happens is Carol Baskin’s fault.’ ”

      While details of the new spin-off series are still scarce, Page Six previously revealed that “The Real Housewives of New York City” favorite Luann de Lesseps was among the cast members for the show that will begin filming in Turks and Caicos in April. The Blast, meanwhile, reported that the series will feature between eight and ten women from the Bravo franchise.

      Melissa Gorga, Teresa Giudice, Cynthia Bailey, Kenya Moore, Kyle Richards and Lisa Rinna are reportedly being considered for the show. “RHONY” star Sonja Morgan seemingly will appear on the show as she has been posting from Turks and Caicos on Instagram.

      Vivica A. Fox and Lance Bass Blame Unlikeable Pro Dance Partners for Their 'DWTS' Eliminations

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Empire’ alum and the NSYNC member claim the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ judges gave them low scores because they couldn’t stand their respective dance partners.

      Mar 20, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Actress Vivica A. Fox insists she was kicked off U.S. TV talent contest “Dancing With the Stars” because the judges couldn’t stand her professional dance partner.

      The “Empire” star teamed up with Nick Kosovich on the show in 2006 and she’s still sore she only made it to the fourth week of the season, claiming low scores from the judges had nothing to do with her performance.

      Talking candidly on cable TV show “Overserved” with Lisa Vanderpump, the “Kill Bill” star said, “I made it to week four and I was a sore loser,” before adding, “Nick was one of the main reasons we got kicked off… You’ve got to play the game. My partner made too many requests.”

      Vivica, a former dancer on iconic American TV show “Soul Train”, insists she trained “six hours a day” and should have progressed further in the competition.

      And she’s not the only former contestant making the shocking claims – former NSYNC star Lance Bass, who guested alongside Vivica on Vanderpump’s programme, insisted he too was punished for having an unpopular partner.

      “We were in the same boat,” he added. “My partner was new. She was the bad girl of ballroom and the judges just hated her. And we felt it.”

      Lance and his ballroom dancing pro, Lacey Schwimmer, made it to the show’s seventh season finale in 2008 before they were sent home, and he reveals one of the show’s then judges made a tipsy confession.

      “We make it to (the show’s) finale,” Lance recalls, “and then we go have drinks at one of the judge’s houses and they had a little too much to drink, and one of those judges was like, ‘You know we can’t stand your partner.’ I’m like, ‘Well then, why am I working my a** off this week?’ ”

      “Dancing with the Stars” bosses have yet to comment on the claims.

      Andy Cohen Thinks 'The Talk' Hiatus Over Sharon Osbourne Controversy Is Unnecessary

      by

      WENN/Instar/FayesVision

      The ‘Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen’ host believes it would be better if the wife of Ozzy Osbourne and the daily talk show address her scandal ‘on the air.’

      Mar 19, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Andy Cohen has weighed in on “The Talk” hiatus following Sharon Osbourne’s controversy. Insisting that there is a better way to address the scandal, the “Watch What Happens Live” host expressed his belief that the temporary break of the daily talk show was unnecessary.

      The 52-year-old shared his thoughts when speaking on Australia’s “The Kyle And Jackie O Show” radio show. “In my mind, what they should have done with the Sharon Osbourne thing is go back, get back on the horse the next day, talk it out on the air. Keep talking,” he pointed out. “Now we’re investigating it and we’re investigating what happened. It’s like, just keep talking. You know?”

      Andy’s comments came after CBS canceled two episodes of “The Talk”. The network made the decision after Sharon got engaged in an on-air heated exchange with co-host Sheryl Underwood over Piers Morgan’s controversial remarks about Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey.

      CBS was later forced to extend the show’s hiatus until Tuesday, March 23 after Leah Remini accused Sharon of using slurs against their former co-hosts Julie Chen and Sara Gilbert when they were working together. “CBS is committed to a diverse, inclusive and respectful workplace across all of our productions,” the network said in a released statement.

      “We’re also very mindful of the important concerns expressed and discussions taking place regarding events on ‘The Talk’,” the statement continued to read. “This includes a process where all voices are heard, claims are investigated and appropriate action is taken where necessary. The show will extend its production hiatus until next Tuesday as we continue to review these issues.”

      In a story published by journalist Yashar Ali, Leah claimed Sharon referred to Julie, who is Chinese American, with “slanty eyes” and “wonton.” Leah also spilled that the mother of Kelly Osbourne mocked Sara, who is lesbian, with “p***y licker” and “fish eater.”

      The former star of ‘The Simple Life’ will develop, executive produce and star in a slate of original unscripted television programming for the production company.

      Mar 19, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Paris Hilton has scored a massive new deal with Warner Bros. to develop, executive produce and star in a slate of original unscripted television programming. She will executive produce all ventures alongside veteran media executive Bruce Gersh under their new production banner, Slivington Manor Entertainment.

      The deal reunites the socialite with Mike Darnell, the president of Warner Bros. Unscripted Television – he worked with Hilton at Fox, which aired her hit reality show “The Simple Life”.

      “Launching Slivington Manor Entertainment is a dream come true and I am so excited to continue connecting with my fans across the globe both in front of the camera and as a producer,” Hilton says. “I am looking forward to working with the incredible Warner Bros. team to create new thought provoking and inspirational long-form content and am beyond thrilled to reunite with Mike Darnell.”

        See also…

      Darnell also shares his thought on working with Hilton once again. “I’ve known Paris since ‘The Simple Life’ brought us together almost 20 years ago. She has always been an incredible talent and entrepreneur,” he gushes. “I couldn’t be more excited to be working with her again and can’t wait for the world to watch the next chapter of her life.”

      “The Simple Life” first aired in 2003. For five seasons, it saw Hilton teaming up with fellow socialite Nicole Richie in tackling low-paying jobs, which include clean rooms, do farm work, serve meals in fast-food restaurants and work as camp counselors.

      Most recently, the great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton produced a YouTube documentary about her life titled “This Is Paris”.

      Matthew McConaughey is preparing to head back into the courtroom to star in a limited series as a sequel to movie classic “A Time to Kill”.

      The “Dallas Buyers Club” star brought Jake Brigance to life onscreen in the 1996 film adaptation of John Grisham’s 1989 book of the same name, and last year (2020), McConaughey admitted he was “seriously considering” reprising the role for the author’s latest follow-up, “A Time for Mercy”, after receiving an advance copy of the October release.

      The 51-year-old Oscar winner also promoted the book in a September 2020 post. “Jake Brigance is back. A Time For Mercy by John Grisham comes out October 13th,” he simply wrote along side a phot of him seriously reading the novel.

      “A Time to Kill” starred McConaughey as a lawyer tasked with defending Samuel L. Jackson’s character after he is accused of murdering two white men who had raped his 10-year-old daughter in a small town in Mississippi. It also starred Sandra Bullock, and Kiefer Sutherland and Donald Sutherland, and was directed by Joel Schumacher.

      In “A Time for Mercy”, Brigance becomes the court-appointed attorney for a shy 16-year-old boy facing the death penalty for allegedly killing a local deputy. The limited series itself is said to being developed as eight to ten episode show.

      Grisham had previously published “Sycamore Row”, a direct sequel to “A Time to Kill”, in 2013.
