      'SNL': John Krasinski Kisses Pete Davidson While Reminiscing 'The Office' Character

      by

      NBC

      A new episode of the NBC show also tackles the the U.S. Capitol riot as a skit sees an FBI agent arresting the ‘Jack Ryan’ star and one of his friends for participating in the January 6 riot.

      Feb 1, 2021
      AceShowbiz – The first episode of “Saturday Night Live” aired on January 30 with John Krasinski as the host. During his monologue, the “A Quiet Place” actor/director shared that he felt honored to be able to host his favorite show.
      “I am so honored to be hosting the first show of 2021. I genuinely cannot tell you what a huge deal it is to be here right now,” the “Jack Ryan” star said on stage. “I have been watching this show since I was 8 years old… So to be here on this stage is nothing short of mind blowing to me.”
      The audience members, however, interrupted him as they flooded him with questions about “The Office” with cast member Alex Moffat asking him where Pam (Jenna Fischer) was. “I have a question. … So my question is you’re Jim from ‘The Office’?” he asked.

      To that, John replied, “Nope, I’m actually John. Hello.” He continued saying, “Pam is a fictional character.” Despite his answer, Ego Nwodim told John to stop working out because “Jim is soft,” while Kenan Thompson said that he needed to see John kissing Pam “today.”
      That was when a fan of “The Office”, played by Pete Davidson, appeared and made a proposition. “I think they really need for someone to be Pam,” Pete told John, adding, “I think we’ve got to give them what they want. Jim, I think you have to kiss Pam.” The two then shared a kiss in front of the crowd who quickly cheered on them.
      Later in the episode, the cast members tackled the the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6 in a skit. The said skit saw John joining his five other pals at a friend’s home for a game night when an FBI agent visited them to arrest their friend Brad for participating in the riot. When asked why he did that, Brad told his friends, “I care about our nation and its Constitution, so I wiped jelly on a statue and put (Nancy) Pelosi’s phone down my pants.”
      “Are you Keith Reynolds?” the undercover FBI officer later asked John, who responded, “Yes, or QDaddy on Facebook.” He then left with the officer while carrying what appears to be the lectern of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in attempt to mimic Adam Christian Johnson a.k.a. “Podium Guy” from the riot.

      Philippa Goslett Replaces Joss Whedon on HBO's 'The Nevers'

      by

      HBO

      The ‘Mary Magdalene’ director has been enlisted to fill in the vacant spot left by the former Marvel filmmaker after he quit following ‘Justice League’ woes.

      Jan 31, 2021
      AceShowbiz – British filmmaker Philippa Goslett has stepped in to replace Joss Whedon on HBO sci-fi drama “The Nevers”.
      Whedon exited the project last year (20), citing work pressures while insisting the show was too big for him.
      This will be “Mary Magdalene” director Goslett’s first major television gig. She will also serve as an executive producer.
      The drama follows a group of Victorian women with superpowers.

      It was set to be Whedon’s first TV series since he co-created “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” and the first solely created by him since the cult 2009 Fox drama “Dollhouse”, according to Deadline.
      When announcing his exit from the new TV project last year, Joss Whedon said, “This year of unprecedented challenges has impacted my life and perspective in ways I could never have imagined, and while developing and producing The Nevers has been a joyful experience, I realize that the level of commitment required moving forward, combined with the physical challenges of making such a huge show during a global pandemic, is more than I can handle without the work beginning to suffer.”
      “I am genuinely exhausted, and am stepping back to martial my energy towards my own life, which is also at the brink of exciting change.”
      Whedon’s exit came after “Justice League” actor Ray Fisher accused him of “abusive” and “unprofessional” behaviour on the set of the film, prompting an investigation at Warner Bros. which, like HBO, is a part of WarnerMedia.

      According to a description for the series, Reynolds will be joined “by a group of talented emerging artists and creators from an array of fields” as he tries out some new tricks – including ice sculpting with Shintaro Okamoto, visual trickery with VFX expert Trevor Bell, floral sculpting with creative designer Aurea Molaei, and even axe throwing.

      The project is just one of the many original shows being launched by Snapchat.
      Will Smith has hosted “Will From Home” on the social media platform. He talked to family members, guest stars like Tyra Banks, and members of the public who were staying home due to social distancing measures.
      Will’s son Jaden Smith additionally fronted a new racial and justice series on Snapchat ahead of the Presidential election last year. He invited a number of his famous friends and family members such as Hailey Baldwin, Common, his sister Willow Smith, Janelle Monae, Yara Shahidi, and Lena Waithe to discuss topics like criminal justice and education reform and voting access.

      The 55-year-old actress – who will resume her role as Carrie Bradshaw in the upcoming series, titled “And Just Like That…” – has revealed the show will make the coronavirus crisis part of the storyline.
      Speaking about the coronavirus pandemic, she said, “It will obviously be part of the storyline, because that’s the city (these characters) live in. And how has that changed relationships once friends disappear? I have great faith that the writers are going to examine it all …”

      “I think that Cynthia, Kristin, and I are all excited about the time that has passed. You know, who are they in this world now? Have they adapted? What part have they played? Where have they fallen short as women, as friends, and how are they finding their way? Did they move with momentum? Are they like some people who are confused, threatened, nervous (by what’s happening in the world)? I’m so curious and excited to see how the writers imagine these women today.”
      And Sarah also revealed the show will examine the characters’ modern day lives.
      Speaking to Vanity Fair magazine, she added, “What is their relationship to social media? What has changed? … What is their life like? For Carrie, who doesn’t have family beyond her friendships, where is she professionally? How have all of these political changes affected her work? Is she still writing a column? Has she written any more books? Or does she have a podcast? What does fashion mean to her now? How have the friendships changed or not changed, and has her social circle grown?”

      George Clooney to Tackle New 'Buck Rogers' Series as Executive Producer

      by

      WENN/Phil Lewis

      The ‘Catch-22’ actor is currently not signed up to appear in the new show that is said to be Legendary’s ‘prestige limited series’ and be developed as a ‘starring vehicle’ for him.

      Jan 30, 2021
      AceShowbiz – George Clooney is set to produce a new “Buck Rogers” TV series.
      According to The Hollywood Reporter, Clooney will executive produce the new show with his Smokehouse partner Grant Heslov. And while he’s currently not signed up to appear in the series, it’s reportedly being developed as a “starring vehicle” for him.
      The project is being developed as a “prestige limited series” by Legendary, with the hopes that it can also launch a film and animated spinoff if successful.
      Buck Rogers first appeared in Philip Francis Nowlan’s 1928 novel “Armageddon 2419 A.D”, before going on to land his own comic strip – which told the story of how Rogers was trapped in a coal mine during a cave-in, before waking up 500 years in the future.

        See also…

      The comic strip, which also prompted other newspapers to launch strips such as “Flash Gordon” and “John Carter of Mars”, ran until 1967.
      It’s not the first time it’s been adapted into a TV series. However, the two TV shows in 1950 and 1979 were both short-lived.
      Clooney has not appeared on the small screen since “Catch-22” in 2019.
      That aside, Clooney has been flaunting her happy marriage to Amal Clooney. The “Ocean’s Eleven” star revealed in a new interview that they kept their tradition to exchange love letters despite spending more time than ever together under the same roof due to COVID-19 lockdown.
      “Even in lockdown, I’ll write a letter and slip it on her desk, or she’ll write a letter and leave it under the pillow,” the actor told AARP the Magazine. “I’m a big believer in letters. I have letters from Paul Newman, Walter Cronkite, Gregory Peck. I have them framed. I put them in the house.”

      Twitter Explodes After 'Jeopardy!' Contestants Fail to Recognize Dave Chappelle

      by

      WENN/Sheri Determan

      During a Double Jeopardy round on the popular game show, interim host Ken Jennings gives a clue about Dave as a photo of the ‘A Star is Born’ actor appears on screen.

      Jan 30, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Despite having multiple Grammy and Emmy Awards and a hit TV show, there are some people out there who don’t know Dave Chappelle. While it’s hard to believe, that was exactly what happened in the Thursday, January 28 episode of “Jeopardy!”.
      During a Double Jeopardy round in the episode of the popular game show, interim host Ken Jennings said, “This comedian displayed his drama chops in ‘A Star is Born’, playing Bradley Cooper’s longtime friend,” as a photo of Dave appeared on screen. Surprisingly, the contestants appeared to have no idea who the comedian was as no one was able to answer the question that was worth $2000.
      Twitterverse quickly reacted to it in total disbelief. “How did nobody know that was the GREAT Dave Chappelle?! #Jeopardy,” one user questioned. Another fan added, “No one recognized Dave Chappelle during Jeopardy? What is, ‘who are these people?’ ”

        See also…

      Echoing the sentiment, another fan tweeted, “Watching Jeopardy last night and screaming at my TV ‘Who is Dave Chappelle, Who is Dave Chappelle???’ How can they not know who he is? Put down the book and watch some Netflix or Comedy Central. Live a little people!” Another comment read, “It’s crazy enough that a picture of @DaveChappelle was a $2000 clue on Jeopardy tonight – what’s more incredible is no one got it right!”
      Meanwhile, one person was more concerned about the fact that those people didn’t watch Oscar-winning movie “A Star Is Born” that stars Bradley Cooper and Lady GaGa. “I think it’s less about not knowing Dave Chappelle and more about the fact that those contestants didn’t see ‘A Star Is Born’. #Jeopardy,” the person wrote.
      While that particular moment stunned Twitter users, Dave himself has yet to weigh in on the matter.

      Armie Hammer Steps Down From 'The Godfather' Series Amid DM Scandal

      WENN/Brian To

      The ‘Call Me by Your Name’ actor, who was set to play producer Al Ruddy in ‘The Offer’, has also pulled out of star-studded ‘Gaslit’ and Jennifer Lopez-starring ‘Shotgun Wedding’.

      Jan 29, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Armie Hammer has reportedly pulled out of a new TV series about the making of movie classic “The Godfather”, amid his ongoing social media sex scandal.
      The actor was set to play producer Al Ruddy in “The Offer”, but Deadline sources have revealed Hammer has stepped down after a string of exes came forward with claims about his alleged odd sexual appetites, with one sharing messages she and Armie reportedly exchanged.
      The news comes two weeks after Hammer exited Jennifer Lopez’s new Lionsgate movie, “Shotgun Wedding”, and the star-studded cast of “Gaslit”.

        See also…

      Following the “Shotgun Wedding” exit, Armie released a statement, which read, “I’m not responding to these bulls**t claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic. Lionsgate is supporting me in this and I’m grateful to them for that.”
      Josh Duhamel is reportedly in talks to replace Hammer in “Shotgun Wedding”, while his vacant roles in “Gaslit” and “The Offer” are being recast.
      Armie made headlines after being accused of having cannibal fantasies on the leaked DM. “I am 100 per cent a cannibal. I want to eat you,” one message read. Another message alleged that the actor had cut “the heart out of an animal” and ate it. Other screenshots include alleged messages from the actor asking if he can drink people’s blood.

      Andy Cohen Reacts to Meghan McCain Wanting to Cancel 'RHOC'

      by

      WENN/Joseph Marzullo

      Writer Evan Ross Katz and the ‘View’ co-host call for a cancellation on ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’, while the latter is asking Andy to reboot one other show.

      Jan 29, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “Real Housewives” franchise may be one of hit TV franchises but not everyone is a fan of it. Among those who seemingly aren’t enjoying of the Bravo reality shows were TV host Meghan McCain and writer Evan Ross Katz.
      Evan started the conversation by writing on Twitter on Thursday, January 28, “It’s time to cancel RHOC,” referring to “The Real Housewives of Orange County”. Meghan seemingly couldn’t agree more. “Yes,” replied “The View” co-host.
      Andy Cohen, the executive producer of the franchise, quickly caught wind of the conversation. “I think you mean reBOOT,” so he told them. To that, Meghan responded, “I have thoughts…. also since I have both of your attention and currently live in the beltway – please Reboot DC housewives PLEASE.”
      Andy didn’t directly answer to Meghan’s request about rebooting “The Real Housewives of D.C.”, but he did say that he “loved RHDC.”

      Andy Cohen reacted to Meghan McCain wanting ‘RHOC’ canceled.
      Meanwhile, season 15 of “RHOC” stars Braunwyn Windham-Burke, Kelly Dodd, Shannon Beador, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson and Elizabeth Lyn Vargas. Braunwyn and Kelly were feuding last season with the latter accusing the mother of seven of faking her alcoholism for a story line.
      “I know I cannot film with Braunwyn,” the Positive Beverage founder claimed during an Instagram Live on Wednesday, January 27. “I know for a fact that I cannot film with her. There’s just no way, and if she comes back then I’m out because I know for a fact that I cannot. She’s dangerous and calling people racists and homophobic.”
      Back in 2020, Braunwyn clapped back at Kelly for saying that she was exaggerating her alcoholism issues. “I’ve learned through others that when people have a hard time with me being sober it’s more about their own issue. Were people in my life telling me to ‘clean up my act,’ ” she wrote via Instagram at the time.
      “Hell ya, I was black out drinking most days….did I get sober for the show? Maybe, I knew we were filming soon and I was scared to have what happened the year before (I don’t remember some scenes.) Is there a doubt in anyone’s mind who knows me I’m an alcoholic? No. It’s low, but she’s pretty vile and cruel so it’s not unexpected,” she continued saying.
