    Jan 12, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Actress Elizabeth Olsen was caught off guard when her “Wandavision” co-star Paul Bettany flew into a rage after she told him to take care of his snot.
    The stars play a quirky superhero couple in the new Disney+ Marvel series and Olsen reveals she tested their friendship when she decided to tell Paul about his runny nose.
    “Paul and I have worked with each other for about six years and have never been in a legitimate argument… until I had mentioned to him that while he was painted purple and kissing me, his snot had dripped onto my face,” she tells “Good Morning America”, “and he got so genuinely angry and defensive.”

    “It was so shocking that after all this time that’s what made him really mad at me… We got over it quickly, but it was definitely a weird moment.”
    “Wandavision” also stars Teyonah Parris, Kathryn Hahn, Randall Park, and Kat Dennings.
    The project is just one of the many series in development at the Mouse House streaming service following the conclusion of Phase Three of Marvel Cinematic Universe which started with “Captain America: Civil War” in 2016 and ended with “Spider-Man: Far From Home” in 2019.
    The other projects include “Hawkeye” starring Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” starring Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, “Loki” starring Tom Hiddleston, “What If…?” starring Jeffrey Wright, “Ms. Marvel” starring Iman Vellani, “Moon Knight” with Oscar Isaac attached to play the lead role, and “She-Hulk” with Tatiana Maslany rumored to be the main heroine.

    Whoopi Goldberg Dying to Be First American to Star as 'Doctor Who'

    Instagram

    Opening up about her dream of bringing the long-running cult sci-fi series Stateside, the ‘Ghost’ star claims to have pitched the spin-off idea to former ‘Doctor Who’ Tom Baker.

    Jan 11, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Whoopi Goldberg has a dream of becoming the first American “Doctor Who”.
    The “Ghost” star admits she has always been a fan of the long-running cult sci-fi series and even pitched the idea of a U.S. spin-off to former Doctor Who Tom Baker.
    Speaking to The Daily Star, she said, “I wanted to be the first female Doctor, but they have one…”

    Whoopi reveals her idea to bring the show Stateside was rejected by TV bosses, but she has never given up on her dream of leading the cast of the series, “(It could be) the American version of Doctor Who ends up in New York – and it’s me,” she adds. “We don’t have a Doctor Who. We don’t have that character who is travelling through dimension and time, and being an observer… The idea of that just so made me happy. But they (TV executives) were like, ‘Um, no!’ So I was like, ‘OK, I’m cool. I understand.’ ”
    But that didn’t end Whoopi’s dream, “I always hope, when I come to England, the BBC will say, ‘Hey, we want you to do something (on Doctor Who)’. I would love that… I’m still dying to do Doctor Who.”
    “Doctor Who”, meanwhile, may soon need to find a new incarnation of the title character. It’s recently reported that Jodie Whittaker is gearing up to leave the series after the current 13th season.
    “It’s all very hush-hush but it is known on set that Jodie is leaving and they are gearing up for a regeneration,” a source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper. “Her departure is top secret but at some point over the coming months the arrival of the 14th Doctor will need to be filmed. It’s very exciting.”

    'Jeopardy!' Bids Farewell to Host Alex Trebek in Touching Final Message

    NBC

    The game show posts a tribute video to Alex, who hosted the show for 37 seasons until he passed away on November 8, 2020, with a 90-second clip compiling his moments over the years.

    Jan 9, 2021
    AceShowbiz – “Jeopardy!” has bid farewell to Alex Trebek. In honor of the late host who fronted the show for 37 seasons until he passed away from cancer two months earlier, the game show shared a touching final message for him.
    On Friday, January 8, the game show let out a compilation video highlighting Alex’s moments over the years via Twitter and YouTube. With Peter Allen’s “Once Before I Go” playing in the background, the 90-second clip looked back at Alex’s iconic mustache as well as footage from “family visiting day” when his children, Matthew and Emily Trebek, visited him.
    There is also a montage of clips showing off Alex’s dance moves through the years despite his claims that he did not “dance.” Ending the tribute video was a message that read, “Dedicated to Alex Trebek. Forever in our hearts. Always our inspiration.” The accompanying message on each social media post also read, “Simply the best. Thank you, Alex.”

    Alex passed away on November 8, 2020 after losing his battle with pancreatic cancer. Days prior to his death, the late host managed to tape a number of his final episodes for the game show. His last one aired on Friday, but it was in the Monday, January 4 episode that he shared a powerful message about togetherness and giving.
    “You’ll recall that about a month ago, I asked all of you to take a moment to give thanks for all of the blessings that you enjoy in your lives,” Alex pointed out. “Now, today, a different kind of message. This is the season of giving. I know you want to be generous with your family, your friends, your loved ones.”
    “But today, I’d like you to go one step further. I’d like you to open up your hands and open up your hearts to those who are still suffering because of COVID-19. People who are suffering through no fault of their own,” he went on. “We’re trying to build a gentler, kinder society, and if we all pitch in – just a little bit – we’re gonna get there.”
    In the wake of his passing, “Jeopardy!” resumed its production with guest hosts. On November 23, the game show declared on Instagram, “We will resume production on 11/30 with a series of interim guest hosts from the ‘Jeopardy!’ family – starting with Ken Jennings. Additional guest hosts to be announced.”
    While Ken will serve as the first guest host, Los Angeles Times reported a few days ago that Katie Couric has also been signed to host the game show for one week. However, she and Sony Pictures Television have yet to confirm the report.

    Ellen DeGeneres to Be Back Filming Talk Show in Studio One Month After COVID-19 Diagnosis

    Warner Bros. Television

    ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ has been airing reruns since December 10, and was initially scheduled to resume production on January 4 amid rising cases of the coronavirus.

    Jan 9, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Ellen DeGeneres will return to work on Monday, January 11.
    The star’s self-titled talk show has been airing reruns since 10 December after the 62-year-old presenter was diagnosed with coronavirus.

    Filming was due to resume on 4 January at the Warner Bros. lot but, amid rising cases of the virus and the fact Southern California’s hospitals are overstretched, the date was pushed to next week.

    It has been confirmed the show will film without a studio audience, with a number of other restrictions in place, including a skeleton staff and crew, with a goal to minimise the number of employees needed at the show’s offices at any given time.
    However, studio officials have confirmed all crew members will be paid during the modified production schedule following previous uncertainty in the early days of the first lockdown in 2020.
    Like Ellen’s show, Dr. Phil will also resume production next Monday from its Paramount Studios set, but it will feature a live audience on Zoom.
    Meanwhile, the current situation in California has seen nighttime talk show hosts Jimmy Kimmel and James Corden return to broadcasting from their homes this week.
