      'American Idol': Claudia Conway Tries to Impress Judges, Discusses Relationship With Mom Kellyanne

      by

      ABC

      The 16-year-old daughter of former Donald Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway also mentions that she hopes by joining the show, she can ‘get out of the controversy’ and ‘drama’ surrounding her.

      Feb 15, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Claudia Conway is among the “American Idol” hopefuls in the new season of the ABC singing competition show. In the Sunday, February 14 season premiere, the daughter of former Donald Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway appeared in front of judges, hoping to impress them.
      The 16-year-old opted to sing Rihanna’s “Love on the Brain” for her audition. However, it fell flat as the judges wanted her to sing another song and she then sang Adele’s “When We Were Young”. While Katy Perry and fellow judge Lionel Richie said yes to Claudia, her performance wasn’t convincing enough for Luke Bryan. The country singer thought the song only confirmed Claudia’s “limited” range. Despite that, she was voted throught the next round.
      The episode also saw Claudia discussing her relationship with her mother, telling the judges that it was “iffy” and saying that she wanted to get away “from the drama.” She explained, “My parents are high profile political figures. My mother is Kellyanne Conway. She worked for Trump. And my dad’s George Conway. He worked against Trump.”
      “It’s a lot,” she continued. “But you know, I only want to spread love, and I love a compromise, and I do disagree with my mom and dad… I had to move to Washington, D.C. when I was 12 and I hated it. When your mom is working for the President of the United States, who you very much disagree with, it’s really hard.”
      Of her mom, who was accused of abusing her, Claudia said, “She loves me; I love her. I just feel like our relationship is a little iffy. Most of my life, my feelings have been suppressed. So then I got on social media, and I was like, ‘Well damn, now my voice is being heard.’ You know?”

      She hoped by joining the show, she could “get out of the controversy, get out of the drama, get out of the politics… and let people know that I am a singer, and this is what I want to do.”
      Katy then shared some advice for Claudia, “There’s a lot of noise in your life. You have to calm the storm that is around you. Meaning, before you sing, you need to get off your phone. You need to stop reading your comments. Push it aside. Because if not, you may not ever rise above your dad or your mom. It’s your choice.”
      Accompanying the teen to her journey achieving her Hollywood dream was her father George, the founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project. He could be seen crying once he found out that his daughter advanced to the next round.

      George wasn’t the only one who was happy for Claudia. Kellyanne made a surprise appearance by having a video call with her daughter. “I love you so much. I’m so proud of you,” the politician told Claudia. She concluded her message, “This is your time to shine. But remember, honey–winners are people who are willing to lose.”

      When chatting about her latest HBO miniseries on the ‘How I Found My Voice’ podcast, the ‘Titanic’ star explains why she wants to make sure co-star Angourie Rice is comfortable on set.

      Feb 15, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Kate Winslet is so impressed with the intimacy coordinators hired to oversee sex scenes in her most recent films, she has decided to become one.
      The “Titanic” actress reveals she is actively making sure Angourie Rice, her young co-star in upcoming HBO miniseries, “Mare of Easttown”, is comfortable on set for all her intimate scenes.
      “Because there were no clothes that come off in the scene, they didn’t consider bringing in an intimacy coordinator, but I just got the sense that she was nervous,” Kate tells the “How I Found My Voice” podcast. “I said to her, ‘I’m going to be around for this, I’m going to stay, I won’t leave the set’. She said, ‘Thank God Kate, thank you so much’.”

      “And I ended up being in the car. I ended up being in the boot of the car. I knew it would make them feel better to have that one person, who would be able to put their hand up and say, ‘Actually we need to cut now. Is everyone feeling OK?'”
      Winslet admits she would have felt a lot more comfortable filming sex scenes if there were intimacy coordinators on set when she was younger.
      “I definitely wish I had them in the past, I definitely do,” the Brit adds. “I just could have done with that friend really. Just having a friend to say, ‘Can you ask him just to not put his hands there?’ So it’s not you having to say it, which can be pretty awkward.”

      'Bachelor' Host Chris Harrison's Girlfriend Admits He Was 'Wrong' for 'Defending Racism'

      by

      Instagram

      Lauren Zima, who has been dating Chris since 2019, addresses her boyfriend’s controversial interview after he announces that he will take a break from the long-running dating show.

      Feb 15, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Chris Harrison’s girlfriend has addressed his controversial interview with Rachel Lindsay. Shortly after “The Bachelor” host announced that he will take a break from the long-running dating show for “excusing” a contestant’s past racist behavior, Lauren Zima admitted that he was “wrong” for “defending racism.”
      The Entertainment Tonight correspondent, who has been dating Chris since 2019, sent out her statement via Instagram Story on Saturday, February 13. “What Chris said was wrong and disappointing,” she wrote in the post. “Defending racism can never happen. Accountability comes first, what’s next is learning and growth.”
      Earlier that day, Lauren’s boyfriend Chris took to his own Instagram account to apologize for a second time for his “ignorance.” He began his lengthy message, “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.”
      “I set standards for myself, and have to meet them. I feel that with every fiber of my being. Now just as I taught my children to stand up, and to own their actions, I will do the same,” the 49-year-old added. “By excusing historical racism, I defended it. I invoked the term ‘woke police,’ which is unacceptable. I am ashamed over how uninformed I was. I was so wrong.”

      “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. “I want to give my heartfelt thanks to the people from these communities who I’ve had enlightening conversations with over the past few days, and I am so grateful to those who have reached out to help me on my path to anti-racism.”
      Chris then declared that taking a break from the ABC franchise would be his best decision. “The historic season of The Bachelor should not be marred or overshadowed by my mistakes or diminished by my actions,” he elaborated. “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.”

      Chris had already issued his apology on Wednesday, February 10 for his remarks in his interview with Rachel. He regretted his action in defending “The Bachelor” contestant Rachael Kirkconnell for allegedly attending a 2018 fraternity party that a Reddit user described as an “antebellum plantation themed ball.”

      Jason Biggs: My Biggest Regret Is Turning Down 'How I Met Your Mother'

      by

      WENN

      The ‘American Pie’ actor is still beating himself up over turning down the role in the CBS hit TV series that would have reunited him with co-star Alyson Hannigan.

      Feb 14, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Jason Biggs will always regret turning down a big TV payday because he wasn’t ready to tackle a small screen project.
      The star reveals he was initially offered the lead role in comedy “How I Met Your Mother”, which would have reunited him and his “American Pie” co-star Alyson Hannigan, but he passed – allowing Josh Radnor to take on the role of Ted Mosby.
      The CBS series was a big hit and ran for nine seasons.
      “I was offered the role,” Biggs told SiriusXM’s “The Covino & Rich Show”. “It’s probably my biggest regret, you know, on passing. I think I was in a phase of, at the time – it sounds so obnoxious to say right now – but at the time it was like, ‘OK, do I want to do TV?’ ”

      “I don’t know that I was quite ready to go that route.”
      “Big picture, I have no regrets. I’m very lucky, very fortunate. I’m still here. That’s number one. But yeah, if I had to pick out something I wish I had done differently, I would’ve taken that gig for sure. Absolutely.”
      Asked if he ever spoke to Hannigan about turning down the role, Jason added, “We’ve never really talked about it. I don’t know that she knows, actually.”
      “How I Met Your Mother” also starred the likes of Jason Segel, Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris, and Cristin Milioti. It received 30 Emmy nominations and won ten.

      Ludacris Trained in Kitchen by Professional Chef in TV Special

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Area Codes’ hitmaker takes on a challenge in kitchen as he’s learning how to cook from chef Meherwan Irani for an upcoming cooking show dubbed ‘Luda Can’t Cook’.

      Feb 14, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Rapper/actor Ludacris is heading into the kitchen to pick up a few culinary skills for a new cooking special.
      The “Area Codes” hitmaker is the first to admit he is pretty useless when it comes to whipping up tasty treats, but he hopes to change all that with “Luda Can’t Cook”, in which he will be trained by professional chef Meherwan Irani.
      “When men like myself are hungry, we just want to eat,” he told Billboard. “We don’t want to take 30 minutes to an hour to cook.”
      However, he was amazed by all the international flavours and new techniques he discovered from Irani, who gave him a lesson in Indian food.
      “It was an eye-opener and so many lightbulb moments for me,” Ludacris confessed.

      The hip-hop star, who is a co-owner of the Chicken + Beer restaurant at the Atlanta, Georgia airport, is spoiled at home by his wife, model Eudoxie, who serves up a lot of her favourite foods from her native Gabon for her man and their family.
      “She does all the cooking, which is part of the reason I can’t cook,” he insisted. “She has her own style and she’s very, very good at it.”
      And Ludacris admits he never learned how to make the basics when he was young because cooking wasn’t a skill his mother, Roberta, really mastered until later in life.
      “I love my mother with all my heart. My mother was not the best cook in the world,” he shared. “Her food and cooking has gotten better and better over a long period of time.”
      However, he claims there is one dish he can pull off on his own. “The whole Luda can’t cook is only 99 per cent true,” he smiled. “There’s one per cent; I can cook tacos.”
      “Luda Can’t Cook” will debut on America’s discovery+ streaming service on 25 February (21).
