    Making his debut as both host and musical guest on the sketch comedy show, the ‘Jealous’ hitmaker sees himself being grilled by brother Kevin Jonas about the fate of their band.

    Mar 1, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Nick Jonas has jokingly reassured his sibling and bandmate Kevin Jonas his new solo album doesn’t spell the end of the Jonas Brothers reunion.
    The “Jealous” hitmaker cleared up the split speculation during his opening monologue this weekend, February 27, as he made his debut as both host and musical guest on U.S. comedy show “Saturday Night Live”, and had Kevin quiz him about the rumours from the studio audience.
    “I’ve got to ask, are we good? Because I see you’re doing a lot of solo stuff. Are we still a band?” Kevin asked, as Nick replied, “Of course.”
    “Are you sure? Because I just bought a house,” reasoned the eldest Jonas Brother.
    “The band is still together. I promise,” assured Nick.

    The TV exchange emerged three days after the group dismissed gossip suggesting it was parting ways again, claiming new music is in the pipeline.
    Marking the second anniversary to the day the trio announced its comeback in 2019, the pop stars wrote, “That day and every day that followed has meant everything to us. Playing music together, getting back on the road, seeing all of your faces in the crowd, hearing your stories…”
    “Our 2019 (and even some of 2020!) was so special and it’s all because of how amazing you guys are … We have the best fans in the world and we love you so much! We all have a ton of exciting stuff coming and we can’t wait for you guys to hear all about it.”
    The clarification came after Nick announced his new solo single, “Spaceman”, while bandmate Joe Jonas was recently cast in the upcoming war movie, “Devotion”.

Another person added, “oh but when sabrina was called the r word and olivia LOVED the sketch yall were mute.”

    Dylan Farrow Asks for Empathy Prior to Explosive Episode of HBO's 'Allen v. Farrow'

    Instagram

    Dylan opens up that the episode features ‘a video of me as a seven-year-old child disclosing my abuse to my mother,’ noting that ‘this is the most vulnerable part of who I am.’

    Mar 1, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Dylan Farrow took to her social media account to post a long plea, asking for understanding and empathy, before HBO aired a new explosive episode of “Allen v. Farrow” on Sunday, February 28. Dylan opened up that the episode would feature “a video of me as a seven-year-old child disclosing my abuse to my mother.”
    “I’m writing this, because to be totally honest I have been losing sleep and overcome with anxiety,” the daughter of Mia Farrow wrote on Twitter. “Tonight’s episode of the Allen v. Farrow docuseries features a video of me as a seven-year-old child disclosing my abuse to my mother. It shows me as I was then, a young, vulnerable child. ‘Little Dylan,’ whom I’ve tried ever since to protect.”
    The “Alice” star went on to share, “Deciding to allow this tape to be viewed now publicly in this way has not been easy. I myself had resisted ever watching it until now. It had been long stored away in a closet. Scared. Buried.”
    In the statement, Dylan admitted that she “almost didn’t offer it to the filmmakers because being this vulnerable in public is absolutely terrifying for me.” She claimed that she was afraid of people’s judgment against “Little Dylan,” adding, “To think of that happening to this little girl is stomach-churning.” However, she eventually decided to share it “in hopes that Little Dylan’s voice might now help others suffering in silence feel heard, understood and less alone.”

    Dylan also revealed the third reason of why she put the footage for public to see. “Personally, I had, for decades, pushed ‘Little Dylan’ away as a coping mechanism. So part of my goal in allowing her to now speak is also to try and find some healing for me and my childhood self. It’s an attempt to make them whole again, and find some peace and closure,” she revealed.
    In the said footage, Dylan told her mother about an alleged incident involving her father, Woody Allen, that took place a few days prior. According to the timestamp, the date of the recording was August 5, 1992. “We went into your room and we went into the attic,” the little girl shared. “Then he started telling me weird things. Then secretly he went into the attic….went behind me and touched my privates.”
    “If you watch this video, I very much hope you will do so with empathy, compassion and an open mind and heart and not use this as an opportunity to attack, turn away, criticize, mock; or to further shun ‘Little Dylan’ and in doing so shame and silence the millions abused children who are suffering in the world today,” Dylan pleaded in her post. “This is the most vulnerable part of who I am.”

    Dylan Farrow spoke out prior to ‘Allen v. Farrow’ episode.
    Concluding the message, she wrote, “I hope this tape helps us all find ways to allow painful secrets to come safely out of their closets so we all can heal and move forward in strength and peace. No longer ashamed, buried, scared, sad, and silent.” She also encouraged abuse victims to contact RAINN.

    Mar 1, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Actor Freddie Prinze Jr. had given up acting until his friend Brian Austin Green begged him to read the script for the reboot of 1980s TV hit “Punky Brewster”.
    The star’s interest in showbusiness has dwindled in recent years and he was happy working on his cooking ambitions and being a family man until his pal called to rave about Soleil Moon Frye’s “Punky” comeback.
    “I was kind of done acting,” Freddie tells Kelly Clarkson. “I was a full-time father, nothing got filmed in L.A. any more, so I didn’t want to leave (home) for six months a year.”
    The “She’s All That” star initially ignored Brian’s call but the “Beverly Hills, 90210” star phoned back and called him a “jerk” for not at least taking a look at the script.
    “So I start reading it, and I’m laughing while I read it, and (wife) Sarah (Michelle-Gellar) goes, ‘What are you reading?’ And I’m like, ‘You wouldn’t believe me if I told you,’ ” he shares.

    She’s also among the cast members of another new TV show “Other People’s Houses”, which reunites her with the “Ringer” writers Eric Charmelo and Nicole Snyder.
