      Rob Lowe Believes He Is Not Destined to Be 'McDreamy' in 'Grey's Anatomy'

      by

      Instagram

      Aside from sharing his thought on turning down the part of Dr. Derek Shepherd, the ‘Parks and Recreation’ actor gets candid about his 30-year battle with sobriety.

      Feb 9, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Rob Lowe is glad he passed on a leading “Grey’s Anatomy” role, because fans would never have called him ‘McDreamy’.
      The actor turned down the part of Dr. Derek Shepherd and tells Variety Patrick Dempsey was always destined to play the medic.
      “This is what longevity, experience and recovery give you,” the former drug abuser tells the outlet. “There are no accidents. Whatever decision you come to, if you come to it from the right place, it’s never wrong.”
      “Me in that part isn’t as interesting as Patrick in that part. If it’d been me they (fans) wouldn’t have called me ‘McDreamy’; they would have called me Rob Lowe. Had I done Grey’s, I wouldn’t have been in Parks and Recreation. That alone for me is enough.”

      In the interview, Lowe also got candid about his 30 year battle with sobriety, revealing cocaine was everywhere in Hollywood when he became a badly-behaved Brat Pack star.
      “It was no different than craft services,” he explains. “Where are the Red Vines, and where is the great Peruvian blow…? Cocaine was the thing that successful people did. There was always that wonderful moment when, as an active drug abuser, you’d go on the set and figure out which department was selling the coke.”
      He also opened up about kicking his habit, adding, “Nothing can make you get sober except you wanting to do it. The threat of losing a marriage, losing a job, incarceration – you name the threat, it will not be enough to do it. It’s got to be in you.”
      “And the only way to stay in recovery is to be honest with yourself on a minute-by-minute basis. No secrets, no double life. And you have to get real.”

      Prior to this, series creator Ryan Murphy revealed that the upcoming season of the FX anthology series will welcome newcomer Macaulay Culkin, who is set to have ‘crazy, erotic sex’ scene with Kathy Bates.

      Feb 9, 2021
      AceShowbiz – More details about upcoming season 10 of FX’s “American Horror Story” have found their way out online. Coming from creator Ryan Murphy, fans now know that the new season will see one fan-favorite cast member returning to the anthology series and that is none other than Frances Conroy.
      Ryan revealed the exciting news as he responded to an Instagram account that shared a rumor that Frances would be back on “American Horror Story”. Confirming the speculations, the 55-year-old TV hitmaker wrote in the comment section, “I can confirm our beloved Frannie is indeed in this season. Xo.”
      However, this is the only thing fans know so far about Frances’ involvement in the new season as details about her character remain to be seen.
      Frances has appeared in “Murder House”, “Asylum”, “Coven”, “Freak Show”, “Roanoke”, “Cult”, “Apocalypse”, seven of the nine aired seasons of “American Horror Story”. She was last seen reprising her roles as Myrtle and Moira in “Apocalypse”. The actress also earned Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie back in 2012 and 2014.

      In addition to Frances, season 10 will feature newcomer Macaulay Culkin. In an interview back in May 2020, Ryan revealed that he had “always loved” the “Home Alone” star’s work. “I loved everything that he’s done, I love the stuff he did in ‘Home Alone’, I also loved the sort of the older, more recent stuff that he did. And he hasn’t worked in a while,” he explained before hinting at “this very, very great insane part.” He added, “And I asked to speak to him on the phone and he said OK.”
      “[When] I cast, I never let people read things, usually. I said, ‘OK, here’s the pitch.’ And I told them the character and I told him he has crazy, erotic sex with Kathy Bates and does other things,” he continued. “And he paused and he goes, ‘This sounds like the role I was born to play.’ So, he signed up right then and there.”
      He further gushed over the “Richie Rich” star, “We’re waiting for the crisis to be over because all those scripts are written and I’m excited for him to play that part. I’m excited for him to be in my world because I think…I’m gonna want to do a lot of things with him if he wants to work, because I think he’s fascinating and interesting, and I think he has a soul. There’s both a lightness and a darkness with Macaulay Culkin that I’m attracted to.”
      Joining Frances and Macaulay are Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Billie Lourd, Leslie Grossman, Finn Wittrock, Lily Rabe and Adina Porter.

      'Bachelor' Recap: Former 'Bachelor' Contestant Surprisingly Crashes Cocktail Party

      by

      ABC

      In episode 6 of Matt James’ season 25, the ABC dating competition show continues to show some twists with former ‘Bachelor’ contestant joining the show, much to the ladies’ surprise.

      Feb 9, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “The Bachelor” returned with an all-new episode on Monday, February 8. In episode 6 of Matt James’ season 25, the show continued to show some twists with former “Bachelor” contestant Heather Martin returning, much to the ladies’ surprise.
      Prior to that, viewers saw Matt talking with Jessenia and MJ, who was portrayed as a new villain in the house. After Matt pulled Jessenia aside to talk, she told him that MJ lied to him about the toxicity in the house and she and Victoria were actually the ones causing the situations.
      When her turn came, MJ told Matt, “My heart is so big and I am trying to show that to you every second I get with you, and the fact that Jessenia said that I was creating this divide in the house just as I am trying to bring everyone together, I am mentally and emotionally exhausted, and to have my character put into question was like that hurt me the most.”
      Matt admitted to being conflicted after hearing those. But he decided that he just couldn’t give the rose to MJ and handed it to Jessenia instead. Later, the rest of the women arrived for the cocktail party, only to find an empty room. Host Chris Harrison announced that Matt decided to skip the cocktail party and go straight to the rose ceremony where he presented the roses to Serena P., Michelle, Pieper, Bri, Chelsea and Katie. The final rose, meanwhile, went to Serena C.
      The next day, Pieper got the first date card while Serena C. decided to confront Katie, whom she accused of being calculated and annoying. Meanwhile, Chris Harrison was surprised to see Heather in the gate. She said that former “The Bachelorette” star Hannah Brown, who is also her best friend, told her that Matt was perfect for her, that’s why Heather couldn’t let Matt get engaged without meeting him first.
      When Chris told her that they’re in quarantine and had been pretty far into the season, Heather insisted that nothing could stop her. Still, Chris told her to go back to her hotel for now and promised Heather that he would be in touch after speaking to others.

      Later, Matt and Pieper enjoyed their one-on-one date in an apparent forest. During dinner, Pieper told Matt that she’s falling in love with him. In response, Matt gave her the rose and told her that he looked forward to spend more time with her. They then headed to a private concert by Temecula Road.
      Meanwhile, Bri, Kit, Rachael, Michelle, Jessenia, Serena P., Abigail, Chelsea and Serena C. were named for the next group date. That meant the second one-on-one date went to Katie. In the group date, they were playing bowling as they were put into two teams. The winning team was promised to a romantic evening with Matt, while the rest should return to the house. It was revealed that Michelle, Serena P., Jessenia and Chelsea won.
      But when the losing team arrived at the house, Chris stopped by to deliver another date card for Abigail, Serena C, Kit. Bri and Rachael. In the card, Matt shared that he felt “terrible about today, I need time with you please.”
      As for Katie, at her one-on-one date with Matt, Katie opened up about not being who she wanted to be in her last relationship. “There’s no changing anybody,” she shared. “I’m very hopeful my love story is your love story, and I’m here till the end if you want me to be.”
      However, Matt wasn’t smiling while hearing that. “You’ve been honest with me, and I owe the same honesty to you, and the truth is my relationship with some of the other women in the house has progressed further along than ours has up until this point. And I can’t give you this rose tonight,” he told Katie. “And that’s not a slight at who you are and what our time has been together. I just haven’t had those feelings I need to have of finding a wife in this process.” With that, Katie was eliminated.
      At the cocktail party, everyone was surprised by Heather’s sudden appearance. In next week’s episode, viewers will see the drama between Heather and other ladies as she’s seen crying, while Matt teases about falling in another direction.

      Christina Milian Hopes to Honor Naya Rivera With Role Takeover on 'Step Up' Series

      by

      Instagram

      Creator Holly Sorensen reveals the decision to recast the former ‘Glee’ star’s main role has gotten the blessing of her family, and co-star Ne-Yo reminds that ‘her spirit lives on in our memories.’

      Feb 9, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Singer-turned-actress Christina Milian has joined the cast of the “Step Up” TV series, taking over the role originated by the late Naya Rivera.
      The former “Glee” star had played Collette Jones in the first two seasons of “Step Up: High Water”, which aired on YouTube in 2018 and 2019, but last summer, U.S. network bosses at Starz announced they would be bringing the show back for another run, and now they have recruited Milian to fill the gap left following the tragic drowning death of Rivera in July 2020.

      Production on the newly renamed “Step Up”, which is based in a top performing arts school in Atlanta, is already underway in Georgia, with musician and actor Ne-Yo returning as leading man and facility founder Sage Odom.
      Commenting on the new job, Milian, who is currently pregnant with her third child, shares in a statement, “I am so excited to join the Step Up family. I know I have massive shoes to fill. Naya was incredible. I hope to honor Naya, her family, friends and fans with a great performance.”

      Creator and executive producer Holly Sorensen reveals the decision to recast Rivera’s main role was given the blessing of her family, as well as the entire cast and crew.
      “Naya’s death was a terrible loss to our world that we will, frankly, never stop mourning,” explained Sorensen. “It was almost impossible to consider there could be someone so graceful and loving who could both help us honor our loss, while also bringing a deep reservoir of talent to our show, in so many areas. Christina is an exceptional human and a dazzling performer and we are so happy she has joined our family.”
      And Ne-Yo added, “There is no replacing Naya. Let’s get that straight. Her spirit lives on in our memories and every part of what this show is and will be.”
      “Christina has big shoes to fill and she knows it, which speaks to her poise and respect as a person and an artist. I’m more than certain of her ability to bring an energy and light to this character that Naya’s fans as well as the rest of the world will love. We’ve welcomed Christina with absolute open arms and have rallied around her with love and support. I’m excited and can’t wait for the world to see this!”
      The series is inspired by the hit dance movie franchise, which originally starred Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan, who will both serve as co-executive producers of the TV revamp.

      Gabrielle Admits Struggles With Panic Attack During 'The Masked Singer' Stint

      by

      ITV

      Having been voted off the British competition show, the ‘Dreams’ singer explains why she is quietly relieved to be unmasked and why it was hard for her to keep her cool inside her Harlequin costume.

      Feb 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Singer Gabrielle is glad she was voted off British TV hit “The Masked Singer” on Saturday, February 6, because she was suffering panic attacks in her costume.
      The “Dreams” singer admits she struggled as the Harlequin and is quietly relieved she didn’t make it to the final.
      “I’m a very nervous performer and I thought by doing this maybe I can go out of my comfort zone,” she said after she was unmasked, revealing that giving birth was easier than appearing on the show.
      “I got really scared, like a big baby,” she told The Mirror. “The mask is heavy. Nothing prepares you for the panic. I was getting panic attacks… I couldn’t breathe. You have to sing a song and your mouth is so dry.”

      “The panic attacks, the heat, the costume… it was all so hard, but it was also incredible,” she added.
      Gabrielle reveals she needed three fans in her costume to keep her cool. “I thought I was doing a great job at masking my voice, but clearly not. You have a vocal coach. They try and say, ‘Can that be a bit less Gabrielle-ish’. For ‘Diamonds’, they wanted me to be posh and for Fast Car they wanted me, not Cockney, but a Lily Allen vibe,” she added.
      “I was like, ‘I can’t do that. It’s just not me!’ But I did try. When I listened to ‘Diamonds’ I thought, ‘I wasn’t meant to sound like that,’ ” she continued. Gabrielle added she also kept her “The Masked Singer” stint a secret from her daughter. “My daughter didn’t know anything about it,” she revealed.

      Super Bowl LV: Sam and Bucky Take on Epic Adventures in New 'The Falcon and Winter Soldier' Trailer

      by

      [embedded content]

      The new trailer for the upcoming Disney+ series sees the Marvel characters putting behind their differences as they join forces to fight against Baron Zemo (Daniel Bruhl).

      Feb 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Disney+ unleashed a new trailer for its upcoming Marvel TV series “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier” during Super Bowl LV that kicked off on Sunday, February 7. In the trailer, Sam/Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) are seen saving the world in epic adventures.
      The video opens with the two Avengers being in what looks like an interrogation room. “Mr. Barnes, why does Sam aggravate you?” a woman asks Bucky. The trailer doesn’t feature the answer as it cuts to scenes where the Marvel characters put behind their differences as they join forces to fight against Baron Zemo (Daniel Bruhl).
      “Superheroes cannot be allowed to exist,” says Baron in voiceover before adding, “I have no intention to leave my work unfinished.” Meanwhile, Bucky warns that the world is “upside down” now. The trailer also sees Emily VanCamp reprising her role of Sharon Carter (a.k.a. Agent 13).

      Toward the end of the trailer, it brings back viewers to the scene in the interrogation room. Now, Sam and Bucky are facing and staring at each other intensely. That prompts the woman to ask, “What are you doing? Are you having a staring contest? Just blink, sweet Jesus.”
      “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier” is set after the events of “Avengers: Endgame” in which Steve Rogers retired as Captain America with him deciding to live a simple life in an alternate reality with his love, Peggy Carter. He then gave his shield to Sam.
      Also starring on the series are Wyatt Russell, Desmond Chiam, Miki Ishikawa, Noah Mills and Carl Lumbly. Kari Skogland directs the project with the script being written by Malcolm Spellman.
      “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” is scheduled to premiere on March 19 on Disney+.

      Robin Wright Gets Candid About Bear Whisperer Hiring for 'Land' Filming

      by

      Instagram

      Speaking about her new film on ‘Live with Kelly and Ryan’, the ‘Forrest Gump’ actress additionally shares her thought on filming in remote Alberta, Canada to make the scenes look authentic.

      Feb 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Robin Wright really went into the wild to shoot her new film “Land” – and needed a bear whisperer to keep her cast and crew members safe from the local creatures.
      The “Forrest Gump” star pulls double duty on the movie, as director and leading lady, a woman who retreats to a remote cabin as she battles grief and the urge to take her own life, before the kindness of strangers sets her on a new path.
      But filming in remote Alberta, Canada meant that even the production’s trained bear had to be protected from the local grizzlies, who took quite an interest in the Hollywood visitors.
      “We have a scene in the movie where a bear is basically in danger of being eaten by a bear, and we had to do (the scene with) visual effects because it wasn’t safe for the trained bear to be on the set, because we had wild bears around the set all day long,” Robin tells “Live with Kelly and Ryan”.

      “We had to have a bear whisperer to keep them away.”

      But Robin has no complaints about getting to grips with nature to make the country scenes look authentic.
      “First of all, it’s like medicine being out there,” she smiles. “We were at 8,000 feet at the top of a mountain and to wake up and hear birds and not honking horns and trains – it was peaceful and it was therapy.”
      In another interview, Robin admitted that she initially hesitated to direct the movie. “Should I? Can I? Yes, you can. You can do it. You just have to be committed to your strength and your confidence that you can do it,” she explained.

      Comedian Ted Alexandro Seeks $1M as He Accuses 'SNL' of Stealing Zillow Jokes From Him

      by

      https://www.tedalexandro.com/

      Making public his allegations regarding the jokes in a now-viral skit on Twitter, the comedian asks the hit NBC comedy show to ‘Venmo me the sum of 1 million dollars.’

      Feb 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “Saturday Night Live” introduced a new sketch about how sexy Zillow real estate listings were in its Saturday, February 5 episode. The skit quickly hit a nerve on social media, but the NBC show was accused of stealing the joke from a comedian.
      Comedian Ted Alexandro took to his Twitter account on Sunday to claim that the joke was from his material during his live performance at the Comedy Cellar in New York City. “Dear @SNL, since you stole my Zillow joke last night please Venmo me the sum of 1 million dollars,” so Ted wrote alongside a clip of him delivering the joke in his standup performance.
      “My full special Cut/Up is on youtube if you need more ideas,” he added. “You have until kickoff. Venmo: @Ted-Alexandro,” he continued in a follow-up tweet.

      Ted Alexandro accused ‘SNL’ of stealing jokes from him.

        See also…

      Not surprised by the allegations, one user responded, “When I was younger I was always so impressed that they wrote a whole comedy sketch show in a week every week and then I grew up to be a comedian and realized it’s easy when you piece together stolen tweets, jokes, podcast banter and already completed sketches. your joke is great!”
      Another user added, “While watching it last night, I literally said to myself, ‘This is funny. There’s no way that someone didn’t already make this joke. I bet tomorrow someone shows receipts.’ Not joking. Literally said that to myself.”
      Someone, however, tried to make Ted’s claims invalid by writing to him, “I usually support any comic who’s material is stolen, but I’m sorry Ted, I can only support your audience on this one. @SNL didn’t steal from you, they stole from the people who saw your Zillow bit. You didn’t write the material, you only caused audiences to think of it.”
      Echoing the sentiment, someone else argued, “Comedians are funny. And they have this power where if they think of something nobody else on the planet can ever have the same idea. It’s science.” To that, Ted replied, “I work at @ComedyCellarUSA where many SNL writers regularly perform. Stick to privacy apps.”
      Meanwhile, “SNL” has yet to respond to Ted’s accusations.
