      AceShowbiz –
      Caitlyn Jenner is set to help send “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” off. With the show coming to an end with the currently airing season 20, the former Olympic gold medalist has confirmed that she’s going to return to the show for one last time.

      The 71-year-old revealed her return to “KUWTK” during an interview with ET’s Nischelle Turner. Admitting that she “enjoyed” her time on the show, she said, “Put it this way, I am in the final season. Over the 10 years I did the show, I really enjoyed doing the show.”

      Reflecting on her time on the E! reality series, Caitlyn opened up, “I think I had probably some of the best conversations with my kids on camera.” She went on explaining, “A lot of times, you know, things happen and as a parent, you’re going, ‘Oh, I better talk to the kid about that,’ and you just don’t do it as quickly.”

      The transgender right activist then credited the show for bringing her family close together. “You know, you kind of, it’s uncomfortable, but with the show, you have to talk to them about it, like, right now, and so I think it really brought the family much closer,” she confessed, before adding of what she’s learned from her interaction with her family on “KUWTK”, “One thing that I have learned in being involved with this family is let them speak for themselves.”

      On the show’s end, Caitlyn said, “It was a great experience, and that’s the only thing, I see the end of the show is, it’s kind of sad.” She, however, remains optimistic about the future of her children, saying, “But all my kids, every one of them, even not just the ones on the show, but all my other children that I have. I couldn’t be more proud. They couldn’t be more successful. They’ve all worked very hard. Great work ethic, and they’re really good people, so that’s the most important thing.”

      Caitlyn started joining “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” in 2007 along with Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner. She left the show after 13 seasons and started her own series “I Am Cait”, but it only lasted for two seasons.

      The Phoenix Insisted on Telling Family About 'The Masked Singer' Despite Producers' Advice Not to

      by

      FOX

      The newly-eliminated contestant who was unveiled as a transgender icon admits to going against the producers’ advice about keeping tight-lipped about her participation.

      Mar 19, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Caitlyn Jenner had no idea how much work was involved in “The Masked Singer” before she agreed to take part.

      The reality star was unveiled on the U.S. TV talent show on Wednesday night (17Mar21) after performing as the Phoenix. And speaking to Entertainment Weekly after her elimination, Caitlyn admitted she had underestimated the amount of work she’d have to do ahead of filming.

      “I really didn’t realise how difficult it was going to be at that time,” she said. “I thought, eh, I can do this. But it was a lot of work. But I would suggest any other celebrity out there who gets asked to do this, that they give it a shot. Once it was all over with, which was very quickly, it was a good experience to go through.”

      While bosses urge contestants not to tell their nearest and dearest about their participation on the show, Caitlyn couldn’t resist letting her daughters Kendall and Kylie into the secret. But when she told them, her girls were bemused as to why she’d agreed to compete in the programme.

      “I told both of them because we’re really close. And I said, ‘You can’t believe it, girls, this is what I’m doing.’ And when I told them I was doing The Masked Singer, they both said the exact same thing: Why are you doing that?!’ ” she laughed.

      As for her reasons, Caitlyn said she told her daughters that she loves “a good challenge, number one, you know that. Number two, we’re living through this pandemic. I’ve got nothing else going on right now. They asked me to do this thing. Why not step out of the box, try something new?’ ”

      'The Masked Singer': The Phoenix Revealed as Trailblazing Transgender Icon

      by

      FOX

      In the Group B premiere, the Phoenix makes debut along with Black Swan, Grandpa Monster, Chameleon and the Piglet, while Niecy Nash serves as a guest host.

      Mar 18, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      “The Masked Singer” has unveiled another famous celebrity underneath an elaborate costume. The show returned with a new episode on Wednesday, March 17, which marked the Group B premiere of the current 5th season.

      With Niecy Nash serving as the guest host, filling in for Nick Cannon who was recovering from COVID-19 at the time, the episode introduced five new contestants, Black Swan, Grandpa Monster, Chameleon, Phoenix and the Piglet.

      Black Swan kicked off the performance with an edgy and passionate rendition of rock band Heart’s “Barracuda”. Using hints from the clue package, the panelists threw their guesses, with Ken Jeong predicting it’s Anya Taylor-Joy, Jenny McCarthy naming Camila Cabello and Nicole Scherzinger saying it’s Leona Lewis.

      Grandpa Monster, who had a walker, followed it up with a youthful performance of Lou Bega’s “Mambo No. 5”. The panelists suspected that he wasn’t as old as the costume suggested, so they threw guesses which included names like Johnny Manziel, WWE star the Miz and Scott Disick.

      Up next was Chameleon, who performed a cover of Nelly’s “Ride Wit Me”. From his tall stature and tech creds, the panelists guessed he was Dwight Howard, Diplo or “The Masked Singer” own Nick Cannon.

      Phoenix then burned the stage with a performance of “Tik Tok” by Kesha (previously Ke$ha). The clue package led the panelists to suggest that it’s someone associated with the LGBTQ community, with the guesses thrown including Tim Gunn, Caitlyn Jenner, Jonathan Van Ness and RuPaul.

      Last, but not least, the Piglet sang Dan + Shay’s “Speechless”. His vocal quality and clues about a romantic split made the panelists think he was Adam Lambert, Liam Hemsworth or Charlie Puth.

      The first contestant to be unmasked revealed that night was Phoenix, after Niecy announced that she got the lowest votes. And Phoenix was revealed as Olympic gold medalist and trans right advocate Caitlyn Jenner, which meant Jenny was right.

      Caitlyn poked fun at Ken for changing his initial guess from her to RuPaul, saying onstage, “Ken, you’ve always been an idiot. What are we gonna do with you?”

      Speaking to ET, Caitlyn explained why she decided to join the show. “I’ve always tried to encourage my children to kind of take risks in life, and put yourself out there, and they’ve all done that,” the former reality star shared. “That’s how you grow as a person, is to try new things and experience them.”

      National Geographic Reacts to 'Genius: Aretha' Boycott Call by Aretha Franklin's Son: It's A Tribute

      by

      National Geographic

      Kecalf Franklin has previously slammed the producers behind the eight-part series, dedicated to the late Queen of Soul, for pushing the project through without their consent.

      Mar 18, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      National Geographic is acknowledging complaint made by Aretha Franklin’s youngest son over “Genius: Aretha”. Days away from the premiere of the eight-part series dedicated to the late Queen of Soul, the TV network issued a statement in response to Kecalf Franklin’s online tirade that called for boycott.

      “We received the message from the family, we hear them and acknowledge their concern for Ms. Franklin’s legacy,” a representative for the network told The Root. “We think we have a shared goal here – to honor and celebrate the life and legacy of Aretha Franklin. We can tell you that everyone who worked on ‘Genius: Aretha’ approached telling her story with the intention to respect Ms. Franklin in every aspect of the series and in every decision we made.”

      “The studio worked diligently to attain the endorsement of Aretha’s estate, which we are grateful to have. We worked with many people who knew Ms. Franklin – from Clive Davis to members of her family’s estate – to make sure we told her story in an honest and authentic way,” the rep further assured. “This series is called ‘Genius’ – it is a tribute to Aretha’s Genius – something we hope we can all celebrate. One of the comments from a guest attending our premiere last week was: ‘Aretha lived so much life… she needs 100 biopics!’ We can’t say it any better!”

      On Monday, March 15, executive producer Suzan-Lori Parks issued similar statement. “As the showrunner of ‘Genius: Aretha,’ I can tell you that every single day (and twice on Sunday!) – through COVID, social unrest, and every other challenge we faced – our intention was to respect Ms. Franklin in every aspect of our show and in every decision we made,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright stressed.

        See also…

      “As ‘The Queen,’ she is deserving of every single celebration of her life that the world can muster,” Suzan, who also serves as the series’ head writer, further pointed out. “And, on a personal note, as a Black American woman, I was taught at a very young age that soul is universal. Our series is all about soul, and we are honoring the life and soul of Aretha Franklin.”

      Back in mid-February, Kecalf took aim at the producers of “Genius: Aretha” for pushing through the project without his family concent. In an all-caps post, he declared, “The Franklin family ‘is not’ in support of the (Aretha Franklin National Geographic) ‘Genius’ series!!! The deal was pushed through without our consent!!!”

      Kecalf went on to beg “true fans” not to support the show. Nevertheless, he did note that his post “does not reflect our feelings toward any of the actors/actresses as we know they are just doing their jobs.”

      “Genius: Aretha” will start airing on March 21. It is directed by Anthony Hemingway, who also serves as executive-producer along with Ron Howard and Brian Glazer. Cynthia Erivo is taking the lead role of Aretha. A third installment of the “Genius” series, it comes on the heels of its coverage on Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso.

      Piers Morgan's Comment About Meghan's Suicidal Thoughts Becomes Most Complained TV Moment

      by

      WENN

      The controversial comment made by the former ‘Good Morning Britain’ co-host about Meghan Markle’s mental health struggles breaks complaint record in British TV history.

      Mar 18, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Piers Morgan’s TV attack on the Duke & Duchess of Sussex has become the most complained about moment in British television history.

      Ofcom bosses have revealed they received over 57,100 complaints about Morgan’s remarks on “Good Morning Britain” after the outspoken newsman upset many viewers by questioning the Duchess’ claims she felt suicidal when the British media turned on her – something she discussed during a tell-all TV interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired last week (ends12Mar21).

      Meghan, Duchess of Sussex was among those who filed an official complaint over Piers’ controversial remarks.

        See also…

      In the TV sit down, Meghan recalled wanting to end her own life after facing relentless, and often racist, attacks in the U.K. press as she struggled to adjust to life as a royal, but claimed palace officials denied her request to seek treatment.

      Morgan refused to apologise for his remarks and, after clashing with a colleague on-air, he subsequently quit his job at “Good Morning Britain”.

      It has since emerged that a representative for Meghan has also written to chiefs at regulatory group Ofcom about the situation, expressing concerns about Morgan’s attitude towards mental health in general, and how it could impact others needing help.

      Morgan cited freedom of speech as he defended himself following his TV exit, “I said I didn’t believe Meghan Markle in her Oprah interview. I’ve had time to reflect on this opinion, and I still don’t. Freedom of speech is a hill I’m happy to die on. Thanks for all the love, and hate. I’m off to spend more time with my opinions.”

      Michelle Obama Feels Unworthy to Have Viola Davis Portray Her in 'The First Lady'

      by

      Instagram/WENN

      The former U.S. First Lady has responded to Viola Davis’ casting as her in an upcoming anthology series which will also star Michelle Pfeiffer and Gillian Anderson.

      Mar 18, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Former U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama doesn’t feel “worthy” enough to have Oscar winner Viola Davis portray her onscreen.

      The “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” star has been tapped as Mrs. Obama in “The First Lady”, an upcoming anthology series in which actor O-T Fagbenle will play her husband, Barack Obama, and Michelle cannot believe the incredible casting.

      “I feel that I’m not worthy,” she tells Entertainment Tonight. “I wish I could be better to live up to the character that Viola has to play, but it’s exciting.”

      “Anything Viola does, she does it with passion and vigour, and I know she will do no less for this role.”

        See also…

      Viola previously explained how she was “a little scared” to be playing Michelle in the show, which also stars Michelle Pfeiffer as Betty Ford and Gillian Anderson as Eleanor Roosevelt.

      The actress said, “She’s smart. She’s confident. She’s articulate. She believes in sisterhood.”

      “I wanna honour her. I wanna honour her with this portrayal because that’s what the drama is. That’s what we do as actors, we want to honour the human being. We don’t want to give a portrayal that isn’t easy for people to swallow.”

      The actress is nominated for Best Actress at the upcoming Academy Awards. She is up against Andra Day (“The United States vs. Billie Holiday”), Vanessa Kirby (“Pieces of a Woman”), Frances McDormand (“Nomadland”), and Carey Mulligan (“Promising Young Woman”).

      Meanwhile, “The First Lady” is coming to Showtime. Viola Davis will also share screen with the likes of Aaron Eckhart, Dakota Fanning, and Judy Greer.

      Sharon Osbourne Enraged as She's Accused of Making Racial and Homophobic Comments About Colleagues

      by

      CBS

      The wife of Ozzy Osbourne drops F-bomb as she vehemently denies allegations suggesting that she made offensive comments about ‘The Talk’ co-host Julie Chen and producer Sara Gilbert.

      Mar 18, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Sharon Osbourne has slammed allegations she used racial slurs in an attack on her former “The Talk” co-host Julie Chen in a fiery new statement.

      Osbourne’s U.S. daytime show is currently on hiatus as TV bosses investigate a heated exchange between Sharon and Sheryl Underwood on the programme last week (10Mar21), and now rocker Ozzy Osbourne’s wife is facing a new scandal over racially and gender insensitive comments she has allegedly made in the past.

      Former “The Talk” co-host Leah Remini has reportedly told a New York Post writer she heard the Brit call Asian-American Chen “slanty eyes” and “wonton” and lesbian sidekick and producer Sara Gilbert “p**sy licker” and “fish eater.”

      Osbourne’s publicist, Howard Bragman, told the Post, “The only thing worse than a disgruntled former employee is a disgruntled former talk show host.”

        See also…

      “For 11 years Sharon has been kind, collegial and friendly with her hosts as evidenced by throwing them parties, inviting them to her home in the U.K. and other gestures of kindness too many to name. Sharon is disappointed but unfazed and hardly surprised by the lies, the recasting of history and the bitterness coming out at this moment.”

      “She will survive this, as she always has and her heart will remain open and good, because she refuses to let others take her down. She thanks her family, friends and fans for standing by her and knowing her true nature.”

      And now Osbourne herself is speaking out about the latest drama, telling the Daily Mail, “It’s c**p, all c**p… Everyone’s got an opinion or a story like the wonton story. It’s like f**k off with your f**king wonton story. F**k off!”

      “Of course, it’s a pile on. People want to add fuel to the fire and it comes with the territory and that’s fine.”

      Sharon is currently considering whether she’ll return to the show when it returns to TV on Tuesday (23Mar21), after facing criticism for defending Piers Morgan over public comments he made about the Duchess of Sussex’s recent tell-all with Oprah Winfrey.
