      Rockers KISS are heading to TV as the subjects of a new docuseries.

      “Biography: KISStory” will revisit the “Rock & Roll All Nite” hitmakers through the years, and feature interviews with band co-founders Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, as well as current members Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer, rock peers Dave Grohl and Tom Morello, and former manager Doc McGhee.

      It will be produced by Leslie Greif, who previously worked on the network’s reality show, “Gene Simmons Family Jewels”.

      “This documentary event is a special tribute to a one-of-a-kind band and the incredible Kiss Army fanbase that has idolized them for generations.”

      “Biography: KISStory” will launch on June 27.

      News of the TV documentary emerges just days after it was reported that director Joachim Ronning’s KISS movie biopic, titled “Shout It Out Loud”, is poised to head to streaming service Netflix. The project, which script is written by Ole Sanders based on an earlier draft done by William Blake Herron, has Simmons and Stanley serving as executive producers.

      The biopic will follow Simmons and Stanley from the time they were only two misfit kids from Queens to the formation of their legendary band as they recruited guitarist Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss. It is aspired to serve KISS what “Bohemian Rhapsody” did for Queen.

      by

      WENN

      The Summer Roberts depicter would love to reprise her onscreen role and reunite with her TV co-stars for a possible reboot of her hit drama television series.

      Apr 28, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Rachel Bilson would love a reboot of her hit drama series “The O.C.”

      The actress starred as Summer Roberts in the hit show – which originally ran between 2003 and 2007 – and Rachel has expressed her interest in joining a reboot of the show.

      She shared, “I know we talked about definitely getting together personally, as a reunion … all of us getting together. I think we have spoken to some already, everyone’s on board for that.”

      “But a reboot would be awesome. I think that’s in the hands of (creators and executive producers) Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage. There’s still a ways to go, so maybe they’ll figure it out! That’d be fun.”

        See also…

      Despite the show’s success, Rachel doesn’t actually have many vivid memories of the series, but she’s been watching old episodes and feels as though she’s been “discovering” it for the first time.

      She told Entertainment Tonight, “I’ve learned that I actually have zero memory and don’t remember most of the things that happened on this show. So I’m kind of going through this with everyone else, re-watching it, discovering it.”

      “I wouldn’t even say rediscovering it, (I’m) discovering it for the first time!”

      If “The O.C.” is revived, it will join a number of classic television shows which have been rebooted in the past few years. They included “MacGyver”, “Fuller House”, “Charmed”, “The X-Files”, “Saved by the Bell”, “Punky Brewster”, and “Gossip Girl”.

      Elon Musk's 'SNL' Hosting Gig Met With Criticisms From Cast Members

      by

      WENN

      Bowen Yang, Aidy Bryant, and Andrew Dismukes make it clear that they are not impressed by the hiring of the Tesla CEO as a host for the upcoming ‘Saturday Night Live’ episode.

      Apr 28, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Elon Musk’s “Saturday Night Live” appearance has upset some cast members.

      The Tesla CEO recently confirmed he will be the first non-actor or non-athlete since 2015 to host the comedy sketch show on 8 May (21) alongside Miley Cyrus.

      He wrote on Twitter, “Let’s find out just how live ‘Saturday Night Live’ really is.”

      However, his upcoming gig has left a number of the “SNL” cast feeling frustrated, with Bowen Yang writing on Instagram, “What the f**k does this even mean. (sic)”

        See also…

      Aidy Bryant echoed Yang’s concerns and shared a tweet by Bernie Sanders, reading, “The 50 wealthiest people in America today own more wealth than the bottom half of our people.”

      “Let me repeat that, because it is almost too absurd to believe: the 50 wealthiest people in this country own more wealth than some 165 MILLION Americans. That is a moral obscenity. (sic)”

      Andrew Dismukes also questioned the decision to hire the businessman. Referencing former SNL star Cher-E Oteri, he said, “Only CEO I wanna do sketch with is Cher-E Oteri.”

      Their posts have since been deleted, but they’re not the only ones unhappy with the decision, as fans have taken to social media to share their outrage about Musk’s upcoming appearance.

      “Elon Musk hosting SNL is huge for guys still making ‘that’s what she said’ jokes who think they’d be great at hosting SNL,” said one, while a second added, “There really was nobody else available to host SNL? Elon Musk? Why?”

      HBO bosses have confirmed production on the “Game of Thrones” prequel, “House of the Dragon”, is underway by sharing photos of the cast at a reading.

      On Monday, April 26, a few photos from the table reading were released via the series’ official Twitter account. The first one saw its stars practicing social distancing during the session. Along with the first image, it was tweeted, “Fire will reign. The @HBO original series #HouseoftheDragon is officially in production. Coming soon to @HBOMax in 2022.”

      George R.R. Martin, Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik’s epic will debut sometime next year (2022) and feature Paddy Considine, Olivia Cooke, Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy, Fabien Frankel, Rhys Ifans, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, and Sonoya Mizuno, who all feature in new press shots.

      ‘House of Dragon’ started production.

      “House of the Dragon” is based on George R.R. Martin’s book “Fire & Blood.” It will tell the story of House Targaryen, the ancestors of Emilia Clarke’s character, Daenerys Targaryen. Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan Condal will share the showrunner duties. The former will serve as the pilot and additional episodes’ director.

      The drama takes place 300 years before the events of “Game of Thrones”. Considine leads the cast as King Viserys Targaryen, supported by Cooke as Alicent Hightower, and D’Arcy as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. Toussaint, in the meantime, will tackle The Sea Snake, Smith will portray Prince Daemon Targaryen, Ifans will be seen as Otto Hightower, and Frankel landed the role of Ser Criston Cole.

      Cole is a member of King Viserys I Targaryen’s Kingsguard. He was described by Martin in a post on his blog, as a knight whose bold actions helped pave the way to civil war. “He is the common-born son of the steward to the Lord of Blackhaven,” the author teased. “He has no claim to lands or titles, all he has is his honor and his skill with sword and lance.”

      'The Voice' Recap: Knockouts Conclude Ahead of the Live Playoffs

      by

      NBC

      In the new episode of the long-running NBC singing competition show, the remaining contestants take the stage to perform with a big Four-Way Knockout being shown at the end of it.

      Apr 27, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      “The Voice” returned with a second night of Knockouts on Monday, April 26. In the new episode, the remaining contestants took the stage to perform with a big Four-Way Knockout being shown at the end of it. Performing first were Zae Romeo and Rachel Mac from Team Nick Jonas who sang “Electric Love” by Borns and “Foolish Games” by Jewel respectively.

      Of the performances, coach John Legend noted that Rachel was “hitting those high notes it was really gorgeous,” adding that her “bravado so interesting.” As for Zae, he mentioned about him showing “energy that was appropriate for that song.” Nick then said of Zae, “You are growing every time we work together and why we love this job so much.” He eventually picked Rachel as the winner and Kelly Clarkson decided to steal Zae for her team.

      Avery Roberson and Kenzie Wheeler from Team Kelly were the next singers to battle each other. For that night, Avery opted to sing “Tomorrow” by Chris Young while Kenzie hit the stage to sing “Beer Never Broke My Heart” by Luke Combs. Blake Shelton totally loved Kenzie’s performance as he dubbed her “the real deal” and could definitely see her winning the competition. Kelly said that she loved Kenzie’s choice of song. Kenzie was named as the winner of the Knockout.

      Team John, meanwhile, set Rio Doyle to face Zania Alake in the next battle. Rio chose to sing “Issues” by Julia Michaels, while Zania hoped to win the Knockout with a performance of “If I Were Your Woman” by Gladys Night & The Pips. “Rio, I have seen people try to do that song on the show and I don’t think I have ever seen it done that well, it is in a very specific pocket and I think you did a really good job,” Blake raved. John also agreed, saying that Rio sounded incredible. However, John seemingly thought that Zania did better than Rio so he kept her on his team.

      Up next were Cam Anthony and Connor Christian from Team Blake. Cam chose to perform “Youngblood” by 5 Seconds of Summer. As for Connor, he sang Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good”. John praised Cam for his emotional performance, while raving about Connor’s tone. Kelly also talked about Connor’s tone. Meanwhile, Blake noted about Cam, “You always figure out how to tape in, you are the king of the mountain and I am glad for you.” Blake eventually announced Cam as the winner of the Knockout.

      The episode also featured Raine Stern and Jose Figueroa Jr. from Team Nick battling it out. Jose, who sang “Break Every Chain” by Tasha Cobbs, won over Raine who took the stage to sing “No Such Thing” by John Mayer. Following it up was a Knockout between Team Kelly’s Ghianna Zoe and Anna Grace Felton. Ghianna sang “Glitter In” by Pink with Anna belting out “If I Die Young” by The Band Perry. “I actually believe you are both powerful in different ways. Anna, you have such a gift, and Ghianna you have such a presence,” Kelly shared before naming Ghianna as the winner. It wasn’t the end for Anna since Blake used his steal for her.

      The night concluded with a four-way Knockout between Team Nick’s Devan Blake Jones, Savanna Woods, Emma Caroline and Carolina Rial. Devan sang “Sign of the Times” by Harry Styles, while Savanna performed “Black Hole Sun” by Soundgarden. As for Emma and Carolina, they sang “Neon Moon” by Brooks & Dunn and “Anyone” by Demi Lovato respectively. America will decide the winner of the four-way Knockout.

      Sienna Miller Admits Paparazzi Chase Footage in 'Framing Britney Spears' Triggers Her Anxiety

      by

      WENN/Avalon/FayesVision

      Aside from sharing why she can relate to the ‘Toxic’ hitmaker, the Beth Ailes of ‘The Loudest Voice’ explains why she didn’t appreciate becoming an ‘It girl’ in the tabloids.

      Apr 27, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Watching the “Framing Britney Spears” documentary was triggering for Sienna Miller because it took her back to a time when she was a paparazzi target.

      The actress admits she still has anxiety issues when she thinks back to the times she never went anywhere without a gang of paparazzi following her every move, while she was dating Jude Law and after her then-fiance’s affair with his children’s nanny in 2005.

      “It’s like a bad memory,” she tells The Daily Telegraph. “But watching the Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse documentaries and remembering what that time was… [When I] see footage of photographers chasing and attacking women in the way they did, I start shaking. It was so intense.”

      “It was a strange time to be a young person becoming well known, at the height of whatever feeding-frenzy was going on in tabloid culture.”

        See also…

      And she didn’t appreciate becoming an “It girl” in the tabloids, adding, “It was upsetting at the time. I don’t even know what that means, but it does sound reductive. It doesn’t sound nice.”

      On the same topic, the 39-year-old actress stated, ” I find that as soon as I’m put into any sort of box, I just want to kick my way out. Now, I have such a strong sense of who I am and what I’m capable of that it would just roll off my back.”

      Elsewhere in the interview, Sienna shared her thought on being a single mother. “Being a mother is the most important thing,” she pointed out. “I’m so madly in love with my child. Your heart is reshaped, and there’s something infinitely more important than anything else – and there’s existential relief in that. I’d love to have more babies, but I’d better get cracking.”

      Sienna shares 8-year-old daughter, Marlowe, with ex-fiance Tom Sturridge.

      When announcing her temporary departure from the CBS daytime talk show, the 53-year-old co-host and TV personality claims that she wants to ‘focus on [her] well-being.’

      Apr 27, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Carrie Ann Inaba is taking a leave of absence from “The Talk”. When announcing her temporary departure from the CBS daytime talk show, the co-host claimed that she wants to focus on her health.

      The 53-year-old broke the news via Instagram on Monday, April 26. “Hi, everyone. So I wanted to let you know personally, that I have decided to take a leave of absence from ‘The Talk’ to focus on my well-being. I know you guys understand, health is the most important thing,” she said in a video.

      “I appreciate your support. I appreciate the love and support from ‘The Talk’ family, and I hope to be back soon,” the TV personality concluded her message. “Take care and I’ll keep you updated. Thank you.”

        See also…

      Also addressing Carrie’s temporary exit was Sheryl Underwood. In the Monday episode of “The Talk”, Sheryl noted, “Before we get started today, we’d like to let you all know at home, Carrie Ann is taking a leave of absence from the show to focus on her wellbeing. She appreciates the support from all of her fans and her family right here at ‘The Talk’.”

      In mid-March, Carrie took time off from the talk show before making her return on April 12. “Not sure exactly what’s been happening, but my arms started to go numb, and I was having sharp shooting pains as well, as well as the normal pain that I have every day which is pretty much getting unbearable,” she spilled at that time via Instagram Story. “So, I’ve taken a few days off The Talk.”

      The “Dancing with the Stars” judge opened up about her illness back in February. “I’ve been diagnosed with several autoimmune conditions: lupus, Sjogren’s, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and, most recently, vasculitis. For many years now, my life has been full of ups and downs, and lots of hard work to help me to feel my best, to land at a new normal that’s comfortable and sustainable,” she wrote on her website.

      'The Crown' Denies Reports It Faces 'Struggle' to Find Prince Andrew Actor for Season 5

      by

      WENN/Instar

      Left Bank Pictures reportedly has posted an advertisement on casting website Spotlight, billing the role of the disgraced Duke of York as a ‘very good role.’

      Apr 26, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      The next season of “The Crown” will feature Prince Andrew in his mid 30s and early 40s, but the bosses for the hit Netflix series can’t seem to find a perfect actor for the “unpopular” prince. According to a new report, the show is struggling to get an actor to play the Duke of York.

      The Sun reported that Left Bank Pictures had posted an advertisement on casting website Spotlight. While the production company billed the character as “very good role,” the news outlet believed that it was actually a role of Prince Andrew, who was known for his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

      Backing up the claims was a casting source, who spilled to The Sun, “Prince Andrew is one of the most unpopular members of the royal family and wannabe stars aren’t exactly queuing up to play him.”

        See also…

      “It’s not the sexiest role and is unlikely to set a Hollywood career alight,” the source continued to explain. However, the insider noted that the role “might work for a real scene-stealer character artist.”

      In response to the reports, the production denied them in a statement. A spokeswoman insisted to the outlet, “There is absolutely no struggle to cast any role for season 5 of ‘The Crown’.” The spokewoman also added, “It is normal practice for productions to advertise in Spotlight.”

      Season 5 of award-winning “The Crown” will be set in the years 1991 to 1997. It will tackle the tumultuous years that saw the very public breakdown of Prince Charles and Diana’s marriage. In the previous season 4, up and coming actor Tom Byrne took the role of Prince Andrew.

      In an interview with Newsnight, the 26-year-old infamously tried to distance himself from the prince and his scandal as he was accused of sex trafficking then 17-year-old Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a young woman who was a victim of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring. “I thought the best thing I can do is to switch that part of my brain off,” Tom said. “It just wasn’t useful to me to engage with that stuff – particularly as I was only playing him as a 20-year-old.”
