      Watch: Tiffany Haddish Bursting Into Tears on TV Set as She Learns She Won Grammy

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Kids Say the Darndest Things’ host was overwhelmed with emotions as she’s stunned when producers told her through her earpiece about her historic Grammy win.

      Mar 16, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Tiffany Haddish fought back tears on the set of her TV show “Kids Say the Darndest Things” after learning she had won her first Grammy Award in the middle of a taping.
      The “Girls Trip” star landed the Best Comedy Album for her “Black Mitzvah” stand-up special on Netflix, but she was unable to attend the Los Angeles prizegiving on Sunday (14Mar21) as she was already booked to take on hosting duties for her TV comedy series.
      However, producers on “Kids Say the Darndest Things” broke the news of Tiffany’s historic win to the comedienne as she was discussing her two career nominations with a pair of young guests, and she was clearly caught by surprise.
      Her reaction was captured on camera and Tiffany has since shared the footage on Instagram.
      In the clip, she says, “For me, I’m just happy with being nominated, personally.”
      The producer can then be heard telling Tiffany to repeat after him through an earpiece, saying, “I’ve been nominated a couple of times for some things…, but I just won a Grammy.”
      She began to recite the remarks, until she realised what he had said, “I just what? I just won a Grammy? Are you serious?”
      “I’m not lying, I’m telling you the truth…,” her colleague insisted. “Tell them all you just won a Grammy. Congratulations…!”
      Brushing away tears, an emotional Tiffany exclaimed, “I really won?”

      She then turned to her guests, both girls, and explained, “You know a black woman hasn’t won in that category since 1986? A black woman hasn’t won for Best Comedy Album since Whoopi Goldberg.”
      Tiffany then shared a few encouraging words of wisdom with the kids as she reflected on her own journey to stardom.
      “Can I tell you why I’m crying?” she began. “It’s a lot of bumpy roads that you cross, right, and it’s a lot of times you feel like, ‘Am I doing the right thing? Is this good enough? Am I good enough? Am I strong enough to do this job?’ ”
      “And then you just have to believe in yourself and as much as you can, and against all odds, you just say, ‘You know what? I’mma just put my best foot forward, and I’m gonna give the world the best that I got.’ Anything is possible (sic).”

      Alongside the Instagram video, Tiffany wrote, “This is How I found out I Won a Grammy! I was Working today for @kidssaythedarndestthings…”
      “The Producers decided to tell me I WON a Grammy while I was interviewing these two young ladies Lauren and Ava, that want to someday be president of the United States of America.”
      “I was flooded with a such a (sense) of accomplishment and relief. I kinda didn’t know what to say. I just wanted to cry but I knew it would have confused the babies. So I decided to use that moment to teach and share my feelings (sic).”
      “Thank you @recordingacademy for the honor,” she concluded. “Thank you to everyone that made #blackmitzvah happen (sic)…”

      Sharon Osbourne Blames CBS for Heated Piers Morgan Discussion on 'The Talk'

      by

      WENN/Avalon

      Accusing the network for totally blindsiding her with the stern questioning over her Twitter defence, the wife of Ozzy Osbourne likens herself to ‘a lamb held out for slaughter.’

      Mar 15, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Sharon Osbourne has compared herself to “a lamb held out for slaughter” after she was “totally blindsided” on her U.S. show “The Talk” by stern questions about her Twitter defence of controversial U.K. newsman Piers Morgan.
      Morgan quit his TV gig as co-host of “Good Morning Britain” on Tuesday, March 9 following public uproar over his dismissal of Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex’s claims of suicidal thoughts in her revealing tell-all with Oprah Winfrey, but Sharon voiced her support for her old friend in a statement on Twitter.
      “I am with you. I stand by you,” she wrote. “People forget that you’re paid for your opinion and that you’re just speaking your truth.”
      Sharon was quizzed about her comments on daytime show “The Talk” the following day, insisting she didn’t “agree with what he said,” but was instead standing up for Morgan’s “freedom of speech”.
      However, co-host Sheryl Underwood, who is black, took Sharon to task for supporting Morgan, who had also declared he didn’t believe anything the Duchess had said, including accusing members of the royal family of racism.
      Sharon subsequently apologized to anyone who felt offended by her remarks, making it clear she doesn’t “condone racism, misogyny or bullying”, adding via Twitter, “I will always support freedom of speech, but now I see how I unintentionally didn’t make that clear distinction.”
      Now Sharon is holding CBS network bosses responsible for putting her “The Talk” co-hosts up to the task of grilling her on air over the Morgan controversy.

      “I blame the network for it,” she told Variety. “I was blindsided, totally blindsided by the whole situation. In my 11 years [on ‘The Talk’], this was the first time I was not involved with the planning of the segment.”
      Sharon admitted a producer had asked her shortly before Wednesday’s showtime if she could be questioned about Morgan during the taping, but she had no idea they had prepared a full script for Underwood to stick to.
      “I get on there, I say my piece and Sheryl turns around straight-faced, looks at me and is reading from a card with questions,” she explained.
      “I was just so hurt, caught off guard and stunned by what I was being asked and not prepared. I was honestly in shock. I felt like I was in front of a firing squad. I felt like a lamb held out for slaughter… They had me there for 20 minutes.”
      Sharon ended up having to beg producers to “please change subjects” during a commercial break, and she is convinced the TV clash was all concocted by CBS chiefs.
      “I’m a big girl. I’m a professional,” she said. “However CBS blindsided me. I don’t know why they did it to me. The showrunners told me it came from executives to do this to me.”
      A representative for CBS has declined to respond to Sharon’s Variety comments, but on Friday, officials announced plans to conduct an “internal review” of the incident.

      'The Talk' Put on a Break Following Sharon Osbourne and Sheryl Underwood's Argument

      by

      WENN/Instar

      While Sheryl describes their heated exchange as a ‘blessing,’ the wife of Ozzy Osbourne denies calling former co-host Holly Robinson Peete ‘too ghetto’ for the morning show.

      Mar 15, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “The Talk” has paused its production. After Sharon Osbourne and Sheryl Underwood had an on-air debate over Piers Morgan’s controversial comments about Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, the daytime talk show was reported to be put on a brief hiatus.
      The staff of “The Talk” were informed on Sunday, March 14 that the Monday, March 15 and Tuesday, March 16 live episodes are canceled. Elizabeth Vargas and Carly Pearce were scheduled as guests respectively. The show is said to be making its on-air return on Wednesday, March 17.
      Two days prior, CBS told Deadline that the network is investigating Sharon and Sheryl’s heated exchange. “We are committed to a diverse, inclusive and respectful workplace,” the statement read. “All matters related to the Wednesday episode of The Talk are currently under internal review.”
      Sharon and co-host Sheryl got into heated arguments over the former’s support for Piers in the show’s Wednesday, 10 March episode. Sheryl first asked Sharon, “What would you say to people who may feel that while you’re standing by your friend, it appears you gave validation or safe haven to something that he has uttered that is racist, even if you don’t agree.”

      Responding to the question, the wife of Ozzy Osbourne replied, “I don’t know what he’s uttered that’s racist. I’m not trying to slide out of this one. I don’t know. Tell me what has he uttered that’s racist.” She further argued, “I feel even like I’m about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend who many people think is a racist.”
      Two days afterwards, Sheryl addressed the debate when speaking on “The Steve Harvey Morning Show”. She said, “Everybody, especially people of color, (goes) through this all the time, there’s just no cameras pointing at you. Nobody gets to see it, nobody knows it. And today was my day and I accept the blessing of the lesson.”
      While Sharon has yet to weigh in on the argument with Sheryl, she has denied the latest accusation that she called former co-host Holly Robinson Peete “too ghetto” for “The Talk”. The mother of Kelly Osbourne tweeted, “Never in my life did I utter the words that Holly was ‘too ghetto’ to be on the Talk, as well as not having her fired.”

      Sharon Osbourne denied calling former co-host Holly Robinson Peete ‘too ghetto’ for ‘The Talk’.
      Sharon’s tweet came after Holly alleged that she was involved in her firing from the show. “I’m old enough to remember when Sharon complained that I was too ‘ghetto’ for #theTalk…then I was gone,” the 56-year-old tweeted on March 12. “I bring this up now [because] I was mortified watching the disrespectful, condescending tone she took w/her co-host, who remained calm & respectful because…she HAD to.”

      WENN

      The Duchess of Sussex lodges an official complaint over Morgan’s controversial comments to Ofcom while also writing a letter to the ‘Good Morning Britain’ bosses.

      Mar 14, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Meghan, Duchess of Sussex has taken her dispute with former “Good Morning Britain” co-host Piers Morgan to British broadcasting regulators, filing an official complaint over his controversial remarks about her suicidal thoughts.
      The former actress, who is married to Prince Harry, was blasted by Morgan during Monday’s (08Mar21) episode of the breakfast show, the morning after the couple’s revealing tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey had aired in the U.S., insisting he “didn’t believe a word” she said about the royal family.
      In the TV sit down, Meghan recalled wanting to end her own life while she was pregnant with her son Archie 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’s dismissal of her mental health struggles prompted Meghan to lodge a formal complaint with network bosses at ITV, the home of “Good Morning Britain”. The newsman refused to apologise for his remarks on Tuesday and, after clashing with a colleague on air, he subsequently quit his job.
      Now it’s 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 but afraid to speak out.
      “We can confirm receipt of a standards complaint made on behalf of the Duchess of Sussex,” a spokesman for Ofcom told the Daily Mail.
      Morgan’s comments had sparked widespread criticism and led to more 41,000 complaints to Ofcom.

      Host Chris Harrison to Skip to Next Season of 'Bachelorette' Amid Racism Scandal

      by

      ABC

      In a statement by Warner Horizon and ABC Entertainment, it has been revealed that Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe will take over Chris’ hosting duty for the next season of the dating show.

      Mar 13, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Fans will not be seeing Chris Harrison in the next season of “The Bachelorette”. In a statement by Warner Horizon and ABC Entertainment on behalf of “The Bachelor” franchise, it has been revealed that Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe will take over his place.
      “Chris Harrison will not be hosting the next season of The Bachelorette,” the joint statement, which was published on Friday, March 12, read. “We support Chris in the work that he is committed to doing. In his absence, former Bachelorettes Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe will support the new Bachelorette through next season.”
      The statement continued, “As we continue the dialogue around achieving greater equity and inclusion within ‘The Bachelor’ franchise, we are dedicated to improving the BIPOC representation of our crew, including among the executive producer ranks. These are important steps in effecting fundamental change so that our franchise is a celebration of love that is reflective of our world.”
      In February, Chris announced his temporary exit from the franchise after he caught fire for defending “The Bachelor” current contestant Rachael Kirkconnell over her past racist behavior. “I have spent the last few days listening to the pain my words have caused, and I am deeply remorseful. My ignorance did damage to my friends, colleagues and strangers alike. I have no one to blame but myself for what I said and the way I spoke,” Chris said last month.

      “To the Black community, to the BIPOC community: I am so sorry. My words were harmful. I am listening, and I truly apologize for my ignorance and any pain it caused you,” the TV host further pleaded. “To that end, I have consulted with Warner Bros. and ABC and will be stepping aside for a period of time and will not join for the ‘After the Final Rose special’.”
      During his first TV interview amid the scandal, Chris, however, assured fans that he would be back to the long-running dating reality TV franchise. “I plan to be back and I want to be back,” he told Michael Strahan during his appearance on “Good Morning America” earlier this month. “And I think this franchise can be an important beacon of change. I know that change is felt, not just by me, but by many others. And we are excited and willing to do the work to show that progress.”
      Chris also issued a new apology to Rachel Lindsay, stating, “I am saddened and shocked at how insensitive I was in that interview with Rachel Lindsay. I can’t believe I didn’t speak against antebellum parties, what they stand for. I didn’t say it then and I want to say it now: those parties are not OK, past, present, future.”
      “I didn’t speak from my heart. And that is to say that I stand against all forms of racism, and I am deeply sorry to Rachel Lindsay and to the black community… I am an imperfect man. I made a mistake and I own that. I believe that mistake doesn’t reflect who I am or what I stand for. I am committed to the progress not just for myself but also for the franchise,” he added.

      Holly Robinson Peete Accuses Sharon Osbourne of Saying That She's 'Too Ghetto' for 'The Talk'

      by

      WENN/Winston Burris/Instar

      Holly actually isn’t the first to accuse Sharon of making such comments as back in 2012, fellow former ‘The Talk’ co-host Leah Remini echoed her allegations against the wife of Ozzy Osbourne.

      Mar 13, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Holly Robinson Peete claimed that Sharon Osbourne had something to do with the fact that her contract on “The Talk” was not renewed. The former co-host of the morning talk show, who was among the show’s original panelists alongside Sarah Gilbert, Julie Chen, Marissa Jaret Winokur and Leah Remini, shared on a tweet that Sharon said she wasn’t fit for the show because she was “too ghetto.”
      “I’m old enough to remember when Sharon complained that I was too ‘ghetto’ for #theTalk…then I was gone,” the 56-year-old wrote on Twitter on Friday, March 12. “I bring this up now [because] I was mortified watching the disrespectful, condescending tone she took w/her co-host, who remained calm & respectful because…she HAD to.”

      Holly Robinson Peete claimed Sharon Osbourne got her fired for being ‘too ghetto.’

        See also…

      Prior to this, Holly responded to a fan writing on Wednesday, “No one listened when Holly Robinson Peete called out Sharon Osbourne’s thinly veiled racism. And now it’s right here on Twitter for all to see. Believe Black women.” Writing back to the person, Holly said, “The question is if someone defends, excuses or protects racist behavior is that ever OK?… I don’t think so.”
      Holly actually isn’t the first to accuse Sharon of making such comments. Back in 2012, Leah alleged that Sharon got her and Holly fired from “The Talk” because she thought they were “ghetto.” Sharon vehemently denied the claims at the time, writing on Twitter, “In response to Leah Remini’s continuous comments that I had her fired from @TheTalk_CBS, let me just go on the record to say, I had absolutely nothing to do w her departure from the show & have no idea why she continues to take to Twitter to spread this false gossip. Leah knows that I have never been in the position to hire or fire anyone on the show.”
      Holly’s new tweet about the allegations against Sharon arrived after the latter was under fire following her heated argument with co-host Sheryl Underwood. In a recent episode of the show, Sheryl called the wife of Ozzy Osbourne racist for defending Piers Morgan who is known for verbally attacking Duchess Meghan Markle.
      “I very much feel like I’m about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend, who many people think is a racist, so that makes me a racist?” Sharon questioned while in tears. “Don’t try and cry because if anybody should be crying, it should be me,” Sheryl told her.
