      The interview between Oprah Winfrey and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has reportedly sparked a bidding war among U.K. major networks ahead of March 7 airing on CBS.

      Feb 26, 2021
      AceShowbiz – ITV are expected to air Oprah Winfrey’s interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
      The 67-year-old broadcast legend has landed the couple’s first major chat since they stepped away from the British royal family and there has been a bidding war in Prince Harry’s native U.K. to acquire the rights for the CBS primetime special, which will air in the U.S. on 7 March (21).
      According to Variety, Amazon and Netflix were never in the running, nor were the BBC, leaving ITV to battle it out with Sky.
      And it’s believed the paid-for broadcaster have now dropped out of the bidding war, leaving the terrestrial network as the frontrunners to screen the tell-all interview.

      It is believed Viacom CBS Global Distribution Group, who will sell the programme overseas, would favour a free-to-air broadcaster to boost its platform, but Harry and Meghan are likely to have a final say in where it airs.
      The royal couple previously gave an interview to ITV’s Tom Bradby in the “Harry & Meghan: An African Journey” documentary in 2019 while the network also screen the Royal Variety Performance, an annual entertainment show attended by senior royals.
      The interview is expected to initially focus on the former actress – who is pregnant with her second child, a sibling for 21-month-old Archie – and her life, before her husband joins in with the conversation to talk about their future together.
      A statement from CBS confirming the news of the interview read, “Winfrey will speak with Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, in a wide-ranging interview, covering everything from stepping into life as a Royal, marriage, motherhood, philanthropic work to how she is handling life under intense public pressure.”
      “Later, the two are joined by Prince Harry as they speak about their move to the United States and their future hopes and dreams for their expanding family.”

      by

      Instagram

      Prior to this, Gia reacted to her being inserted in the feud between Teresa and Jackie Goldschneider, who got into a fight in the explosive season 11 premiere of ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’.

      Feb 25, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Teresa Giudice and Jackie Goldschneider’s beef has involved the former’s daughter Gia Giudice, but the latter appears to have a bigger heart when it comes to this matter. In a new episode of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” which aired on Wednesday, February 24, the ladies headed to Lake George but Jackie skipped the outing due to the drama.
      During the cast’s trip Teresa told the other Housewives why she was so upset with Jackie, adding that Gia told her to apologize to Jackie. Teresa couldn’t understand why her daughter suggested that considering the fact that Jackie used an analogy about Gia doing coke to get her point across during their argument.
      In flashback footage, Gia told her mom, “You’re upset because she said something about me. She’s upset because you said something about her marriage. Not for nothing.” Gia referred to Teresa going around saying that Jackie’s husband was cheating on her.

      “If you went about it in a sh***y way that upset her, then you should apologize because I’m sure you weren’t happy when cheating rumors were going on about you and dad. If you upset her, say sorry,” Gia added.
      Prior to this, Gia reacted to her being inserted in the feud between Teresa and Jackie, who got into a fight in the explosive season 11 premiere of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey”. “Gia is a wonderful, smart, strong and beautiful human being and what was done to her tonight was wrong on so many levels,” Appian Entertainment’s Karianne Fischbach, her mom’s business manager, wrote on Wednesday, February 17.
      “For a grown a** ‘I’m so so smart I’m lawyer’ woman to bring Gia’s name into an argument & place an accusation with such a weighted consequence is inconceivable. I cannot fathom what would [possess] someone to create a false narrative that could have severe consequences for the innocent party involved, a 19-year-old at the time who was in no way involved in anything. what the cast members choose to do to each other is the nature of the reality TV beast, this was to [SIC] far,” the post continued to read.
      Concluding the post, Karianne wrote, “I hope apologies are made & I hope family sticks together on this one. I’d have a hard time support friend who did that to my niece, #justsayin.”

      'Halo' TV Series Heading to Paramount+ From Showtime

      by

      Showtime

      Produced by Showtime in partnership with 343 Industries and Amblin Television, the upcoming TV series, which is based on megahit Xbox game franchise, eyes a premiere date sometime in the first quarter of 2022.

      Feb 25, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “Halo” TV series has found a new home. It has been revealed that the long-anticipated series, which is based on the megahit Xbox game franchise, is switching from Showtime to Paramount+ as it eyes a premiere date sometime in the first quarter of 2022. Deadline is the first to report.
      Produced by Showtime in partnership with 343 Industries and Amblin Television, the upcoming TV series will be set in the universe that first came to be in 2001, bringing an epic 26th century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant. Starring Pablo Schreiber, the TV adaptation will deeply explore personal stories with action, adventure and a richly imagined vision of the future.
      “We were on the hunt for signature shows beyond the ‘Star Trek’ franchise on CBS All Access and were thinking, what could be a defining series for Paramount+,” David Nevins, Chief Creative Officer and Chairman for CBS, and CEO of Showtime Networks said. ” ‘Halo’ always fit the bill but seeing it, we felt it would work.”

      Nevins added, “It delivers the visceral excitement of playing the game, along with a much deeper emotional experience around the Spartans, human beings who got their humanity chemically and genetically altered. The story is about reclaiming what makes them human, and therefore it’s a very powerful story.”
      Executive producing the show for Amblin Television are Steven Spielberg, Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey. They are joined by Steven Kane, director Otto Bathurst and Toby Leslie for One Big Picture with Kyle Killen and Scott Pennington producing for Chapter Eleven. As for Kiki Wolfkill, Frank O’Connor and Bonnie Ross, they serve as executive producers for 343 Industries.
      Previous reports claimed that “Halo” filmed 55%-60% of its first season before COVID-19 pandemic forced the production team to shut down the filming last March. As if the year-long delay wasn’t bad enough, the first season will have its episode count shortened by one so fans will only have 9 episodes.
      It was based on a game that was first announced for Mac. Its original developer Bungie was then acquired by Microsoft in 2000 prior to the launch of the original Xbox console that became a huge hit, grossing more than $5 billion in total.

      Marvel Studios/Disney+

      In addition to the two series, the streaming service sets premiere dates for season 2 of ‘High School Musical: The Musical: The Series’ and ‘The Mysterious Benedict Society’ among others.

      Feb 25, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Disney+ has finally unveiled its full lineup of programming during TCA that took place on Wednesday, February 24. During the event, the streaming platform announced the premiere dates for some of its highly-anticipated series including “Loki” and “Star Wars: The Bad Batch”, much to fans’ excitement.
      The streaming service announced that Marvel Studios’ “Loki” is set to arrive on June 11. As for “Star Wars: The Bad Batch”, it will first greet fans on May 4. The premiere date is most likely intentional as the date is dubbed Star Wars Day because of “May the Fourth Be With You” that derived from franchise’s famous line that read, “May the force be with you.”
      Tom Hiddleston will reprise his role as the trickster god, who seemingly is somehow still alive, on the series. On the new series, fans will see the God of Mischief stepping out of brother Thor’s (played by Chris Hemsworth in Marvel movies) shadow. The show is set after the events of “Avengers: Endgame”.

      As for “Star Wars: The Bad Batch”, the animated series chronicles the elite and experimental clones of the Bad Batch, which was first introduced on “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”. Bad Batch is a unique squad of clones who each possesses a singular exceptional skill that makes them extraordinarily effective soldiers and a formidable crew. The series follows them in their journey of finding their way in a rapidly changing galaxy in the immediate aftermath of the Clone War.
      In addition to the two series, Disney+ set premiere dates for season 2 of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” (Friday, May 14), “The Mysterious Benedict Society” (Friday, June 25) and “Turner & Hooch” (Friday, July 16) among others.

      Feb 24, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Disney+ chiefs have made good on a promise to bring more adult programming to Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Canada by introducing streaming platform Star – and they’re adding new parental controls to stop kids accessing it.

      “With the addition of Star, we’re building even more value for consumers by adding an incredible array of high-quality movies and series for families, older teens, and adults.”

      'The Simpsons' Recasts Dr. Hibbert's Voice Actor Harry Shearer After Vowing to Properly Cast Actors

      by

      FOX/WENN

      Dr. Hibbert, one of black characters on the long-running animated show, will now be voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson, who has appeared as other characters in more than 70 episodes of the series.

      Feb 24, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “The Simpsons” has made another concrete move after it vowed to stop using white actors to voice non-white characters. On Tuesday, February 23, the long-running FOX series announced that it replaced Harry Shearer, the original voice actor for Dr. Julius Hibbert.
      PEOPLE reported that Dr. Hibbert, one of black characters on the animated show, will now be voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson. Shearer has played Hibbert as well as several other characters on the show for more than 30 years. Shearer-voiced Hibbert will be featured for the final time in the Sunday episode titled “Dairy Queen”.
      While Shearer will no longer voice Dr. Hibbert, he will continue provide voice for other “The Simpsons” characters including Mr. Burns, Principal Skinner, Waylon Smithers and Ned Flanders. As for Richardson, it is said that he will start taking over the character for the first time in upcoming episode titled “Wad Goals”. Prior to this, Richardson appeared as other characters in more than 70 episodes of the series.

      FOX announced back in June 2020 that the show would stop using white actors to voice non-white characters. “Moving forward, ‘The Simpsons’ will no longer have white actors voice non-white characters,” affirmed the producers in the statement.
      Of the decision, Shearer previously voiced his disagreement. “I have a very simple belief about acting. The job of the actor is to play someone who they are not,” the 77-year-old shared during his appearance on “Times Radio” at the time. “That’s the gig, that’s the job description.”
      FOX’s announcement arrived in the wake of criticism by stand-up comedian Hari Kondabolu towards the show for having Hank Azaria, a white voice actor, to take on the role of Indian shop clerk Apu Nahasapeemapetilon through a 2018 documentary titled “The Problem with Apu”. Kondabulu said that the character is based on hurtful stereotypes. “Everything with Apu is like this running joke,” he told the New York Times. “And the running joke is that he’s Indian.”
      Azaria eventually stepped away from his role as Apu following the backlash and exited the show altogether. He also revealed that he wouldn’t “be doing the voice anymore, unless there’s some way to transition it or something. We all made the decision together… We all agreed on it. We all feel like it’s the right thing and good about it.” Additionally, “The Simpsons” replaced Azaria with Alex Desert to voice Carlton Carlson on the show.

      'Bachelor' Recap: Matt James Cries as One Woman Exits Following Hometown Week

      by

      ABC

      In a new episode of the long-running ABC dating series, the Bachelor meets the families of the remaining ladies, Michelle, Bri, Rachael and Serena, as they are flown in to the resort.

      Feb 23, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “The Bachelor” returned with a brand new episode on Monday, February 22. The new outing featured Hometown Week, which was different from the ones in the previous seasons because the ladies’ families were flown in as the cast couldn’t leave the resort due to COVID-19.
      Matt first met Michelle’s families including her mom and dad. The pair enjoyed a bike ride before they entered a room with some of Michelle’s students appearing on a video screen virtually. The pair chatted with them for a while as they grilled Matt with various questions.
      It was later time to meet Michelle’s parents. Her father, Ephraim, thought that Michelle looked genuinely happy. During a chat, she also revealed to him that Matt had something she had been looking for. When her dad asked if she would say yes should Matt propose to her, Michelle nodded.
      Ephraim then sat down with Matt, asking Matt if he was in love with his daughter. Matt told him that he was falling for her. As for Michelle, she had a talk with her mother. The foursome then headed outside to play basketball. Later, Michelle opened up to Matt. She told Matt that while she was falling in love with Matt, she was also scared.
      The next date was between Matt and Rachael. As she reminded Matt that communication, honesty and trust were important to her, she drove him away after putting on a blindfold on him. It appeared that she drove him to an airstrip before jumping out of a plane. Matt was the first one to land and was worried when he saw Rachael having a hard fall. Fortunately, she was not heavily injured.
      The two then met Rachael’s family. Rachael told her mom that she was falling in love with Matt, adding that she could see herself having a future with him. She recounted how Matt comforted her after she landed badly earlier that day and that was what she wanted from a husband. She told her mom that she would say yes if Matt proposed to her.

      Meanwhile, Matt chatted with Rachael’s father Darrell, who thought that an engagement and a marriage would be too quick and unrealistic. Later, Matt told Rachael that he didn’t ask her father for his blessing because he wasn’t ready yet, adding that he would call him when he was. That surprised Rachael.
      Later, Matt and Bri had a one-on-one date. They had a bumpy ride in a 4×4 before sitting down for a picnic. Bri told him that she didn’t have a conventional family but she wished it was enough for him. The two then met Bri’s mother, her baby sister and her best friend. Matt had a talk with Bri’s mom as he told her that he and Bri had a connection that was on different level compared to his with the other women.
      Bri’s mother than talked with Bri. Bri told her mom that she was falling for Matt and that she had a special connection with Matt. Her mom, meanwhile, said that she wanted to protect her but she knew that Bri had to make a commitment to herself. Later, Matt and Bri had a sit-down during which Bri expressed her feelings for him.
      The final date was between Matt and Serena. She brought a map of Canada with her and showed Matt where Markham was. The pair then met her family. Matt and Serena’s mother Rasna later had a talk. He told Rasna that he liked that Serena was smart and beautiful, while Serena’s sister Talia didn’t think Serena was smitten with Matt. Serena admitted that she was worried if she would regret getting engaged.
      She then opened up to her mom about her doubts. Her mom thought she was worried because her last relationship messed with her. Serena eventually realized that her past relationship wasn’t the sole reason of her doubts. She then told Matt that she didn’t think he was her person, much to Matt’s surprise. He was devastated and crying, though he wanted the best for her. He was afraid if the other three women would change her mind just like Serena.
      It was finally time for the Rose Ceremony. He gave the roses to the remaining ladies, Michelle, Rachael and Bri, and they all accepted the rose. The next episode will feature Fantasy Suites!
