      To be launched on December 28, ‘Idina’s Treehouse’ will see the ‘Frozen’ star reading stories and leading sing-a-long performances from a treehouse originally built for her son.

      Dec 24, 2020

      “Idina’s Treehouse” will launch on Monday, December 28, and feature the “Frozen (2013)” star reading stories and leading sing-a-long performances, all in the comfort of her own backyard hangout spot – a treehouse originally built for her son, who doesn’t want to use it.
      “In these challenging times, it often feels like we are isolated from the world. This experience can be especially tough on children,” a description of the online series reads. “To provide meaningful connections – and give busy parents a bit of a break – award-winning actress and singer Idina Menzel has created a kid-friendly series to entertain the world from her very own treehouse.”

      Idina debuted the trailer for the digital series on Twitter on Wednesday, December 23. Along with the promo, she wrote, “Welcome to my (well, my son’s…) treehouse, and my little quarantine gift to you! Hope you can join me Monday morning in @IdinasTreehouse for the first episode! We’re going to sing a song, read a story, and I want you to meet some of my friends! #IdinasTreehouse.”

      by

      WENN

      The music mogul and TV producer is ready to return to work as he’s booked as a judge on the Israeli version of ‘The X Factor’, four months after his serious injuries.

      Dec 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Simon Cowell is back in action after spending months recovering from back surgery – he has signed on to judge the Israeli version of “The X Factor”.
      The music mogul, who pulled out of his TV talent shows in the U.K. and U.S. earlier this year after suffering severe injuries in an electric bike accident, will be one of the judges on the fourth season of “The X Factor” in Israel, which has just begun production.
      It will mark the first time Simon will judge a show he created outside the U.K. and U.S.
      “Over the years, The X Factor format discovered amazing talents from all over the world, I can’t wait to see what Israel have to offer (sic),” he says in a statement.

      The previous judges on The X Factor Israel, which is hosted by supermodel Bar Refaeli, have included rapper Subliminal and singers Ivri Lider and Shiri Maimon.
      The TV star was injured in the life-threatening accident in August this year. He broke his back in three places – and came within about an inch of severing his spinal cord and facing possible paralysis – while test-riding his new high-powered e-bike with his young son.
      He rested at his Malibu, California home alongside girlfriend Lauren Silverman and the little boy during his recovery. He reportedly underwent daily physiotherapy sessions.
      He was forced to pull out of the most recent seasons of “America’s Got Talent” and “Britain’s Got Talent”. Kelly Clarkson later took over his “AGT” seat alongside Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Sofia Vergara.

      Dan Levy Thought He Got 'Punk'd' When He's Announced Big Winner at 2020 Emmys

      by

      Instagram

      The Canadian actor recalls his reaction to his record-breaking victories at the first-ever virtual Primetime Emmy Awards earlier this year for his role on ‘Schitt’s Creek’.

      Dec 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Schitt’s Creek” co-creator and star Dan Levy was convinced the show’s Emmy Awards success was all part of an elaborate prank because the whole virtual ceremony felt so “surreal.”
      The sixth and final season of the comedy scooped nine top accolades at the 2020 event, with the star making history as the first person to win for comedy writing, directing, acting, and producing in the same year.
      However, Levy insists to everyone involved in the programme, the prizes were “like a dream” as they all watched the ceremony unfold in an outdoor tent in Toronto, Canada, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

      He told The Guardian newspaper, “The whole situation was surreal. For the Emmys, we were in a tent in Toronto. It really did feel like this kind of surreal dream. You’re watching a screen in a tent and suddenly you’re winning, and then you’re talking to a camera in a tent.”
      “You don’t see an audience, there’s absolutely no sense of it being an award ceremony. At the end I was talking to (co-star) Catherine O’Hara, and she was like, ‘I just feel like someone’s going to pop out of the bushes and say this is an episode of Punk’d.’ It really felt like one of those setups, like, ‘Let’s put them all in a tent and fake a bunch of Emmys.’ ”
      Besides breaking record for taking multiple coveted awards at the Primetime Emmys, Dan Levy also won Best Comedic Performance at the MTV Movie & TV Awards for his role on the critically-lauded TV series.

      America Ferrera Upset by 'Superstore' Cancellation

      by

      NBC

      The former ‘Ugly Betty’ actress has been left ‘totally heartbroken’ as her TV show is not picked up for another season while the current sixth outing is coming to an end.

      Dec 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – America Ferrera was “totally heartbroken” by the news her TV show “Superstore” is to end.
      The 36-year-old actress wrapped filming on the sitcom shortly before NBC announced this month that the show’s current sixth season will be its last and though she’s upset by its ending, she’s also “incredibly proud” of the programme.
      She told People magazine, “I’m so sad the show is over, and at the same time, incredibly proud of what it’s been.”
      “I think what the show accomplished, the fan-base that it built, what it did for NBC – I only have so much pride in what we accomplished with the show, and it’s always sad to say goodbye.”
      And America insisted the end of the show doesn’t mean it will be forgotten.
      She added, “These days TV lives forever and there’s still an audience for it to reach and still people to find and discover and enjoy it, so I’m just incredibly grateful for what it has been.”

        See also…

      “(I hope it is remembered as) this really bold and subversive comedy that was always doing so much more than what appeared on the surface, being smart and funny about the life of retail workers.”
      The actress stayed coy when asked if she’ll be making a final experience.
      She teased, “We’re not ruling anything out, but I’m not allowed to say.”
      Meanwhile, the former “Ugly Betty” star is looking forward to a “super simple” Christmas with her husband Ryan Williams and their children Sebastian, two, and Lucia, seven months.
      She said, “This is (Lucia’s) first Christmas, which she’ll never remember, but it’s my two year old’s first Christmas really getting excited and having an understanding about the holidays and celebrating.”
      “Luckily, he doesn’t know what he’s missing from any other year, but we’re going do our best to just celebrate and make it feel special even though we can’t be with all of our family and friends.”

      'Sex and the City' Getting a Reboot Without Kim Cattrall

      by

      New Line Cinema

      A new adaptation of Candace Bushnell’s book of the same name is reportedly in development without one of the original cast members as the project is heading to the HBO streaming service.

      Dec 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – A “Sex and the City” reboot, featuring original stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon, is reportedly in the works at HBO Max.
      The New York Post’s gossip column Page Six cited a “well placed industry insider” as telling them that a “limited series reboot” is coming to the streaming service.
      While Sarah, Kristin, and Cynthia are all said to be returning, Kim Cattrall – who has repeatedly said she’s got no interest in reprising her role as Samantha Jones for a reboot – will apparently not. Cattrall and Parker were also involved in a public feud following the death of the former’s brother in 2018.

        See also…

      Despite Kim’s disinterest in a reboot, Sarah – who also acted as a producer on the series – told Entertainment Tonight previously that she’d be up for returning as alter ego Carrie Bradshaw.
      “I wouldn’t call it a reboot, I would call it a ‘revisit,’ ” she said. “I’d like to see where all of them are. I’m curious, the world has changed even since the movie… technology and social media. (Plus) sexual politics and the #MeToo movement and Time’s Up… I think Carrie Bradshaw would just be so greedy to share her feelings and thoughts.”
      Representatives for Parker and HBO Max have yet to comment on the reboot report.
      The original “Sex and the City” series first launched in 1998 and concluded in 2004 after six seasons. It got a movie version in 2008 and a sequel in 2013. In the same year, a prequel series “The Carrie Diaries” starring AnnaSophia Robb as a young Bradshaw came out. It ended after only two seasons.

      Family and Friends Remember Whitney Houston and Bobbi Kristina in First Trailer for Lifetime's Doc

      by

      [embedded content]

      ‘The two-hour documentary presents an in-depth look at the parallel lives of renowned singer Whitney Houston and her daughter Bobbi Kristina,’ states a press release of the new documentary.

      Dec 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lifetime has released the first trailer for its upcoming documentary about Whitney Houston and her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown. Titled “Whitney Houston & Bobbi Kristina: Didn’t We Almost Have It All”, the new project features an in-depth look at the lives of the late mother-daughter pair.
      Opening the trailer is Perro “Pebbles” Reid, Whitney’s friend/singer/producer. “Whitney was an icon. This is the first time I’ve ever spoken about Whitney,” she says. “We built the perception of Whitney is this pop princess,” producer/musician Randy Jackson adds in confessional. Meanwhile, someone else notes that the “I Will Always Love You” hitmaker “loved her daughter more than anything.”
      “There’s so many parallels between Whitney and Bobbi Kristina,” one person remarks in the trailer, adding, “They both had addiction. They both perished in a bathtub.” Bobbi’s best friend Sarah “Bess” Beckmann concludes the clip, “The fact that she was found in a bathtub with the same fate as her mother doesn’t make any sense.”
      “The two-hour documentary presents an in-depth look at the parallel lives of renowned singer Whitney Houston and her daughter Bobbi Kristina,” states a press release of the new doc. “Both faced similar struggles — living in the shadow of their famous mothers, criticized for their love choices and often used for their fame and fortune.”

        See also…

      “And both turned to drugs and alcohol for relief from the pressures of being in the spotlight, before prematurely leaving the Earth in the same tragic way. In an emotional and candid look at the ups and downs of their personal stories, and a celebration of their lives, ‘Whitney Houston & Bobbi Kristina’ offers intimate conversations with the friends and family that were closest to them,” it continues.
      Whitney died in 2012 at 48 years old. She was found unresponsive in a bathtub in a Beverly Hills Hilton hotel room just before the Grammy Awards in 2012. According to the coroner, she died by accidental drowning, but heart disease and cocaine use were among the contributing factors.
      Similar to her mother, Bobbi was found faced down in a bathtub in 2015. The 22-year-old daughter of Whitney and Bobby Brown was in coma for six months before she was pronounced death on July 26, 2015. Her death was ruled to be from lobar pneumonia and lack of oxygen, resulting in brain damage.
      “Whitney Houston & Bobbi Kristina: Didn’t We Almost Have It All” is set to premiere on Lifetime on Saturday, February 6, 2021 at 8:00 P.M. EST.

      'The Bachelorette' Grand Finale Recap: Tayshia Adams Struggling to Make Decision After Dad's Warning

      by

      ABC

      The grand finale of the long-running ABC dating competition picks up where the last episode off in which Tayshia is shocked over Ben Smith’s sudden return to the show despite him being eliminated at final four.

      Dec 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The big moment for Tayshia Adams is finally here. In the Tuesday, December 22 finale of her season of “The Bachelorette”, Tayshia had to decide whether she would give her final rose to Ivan Hall, Zac Clark or Ben Smith, the latter of whom returned to the show despite being eliminated at final four.
      The episode picked up where the last episode off in which Tayshia was shocked over Ben’s sudden return. “I can tell by looking at her eyes that there’s more under there,” Ben said in confessional, adding, “I know she has a rose ceremony in an hour… but I found a woman I’ve never felt this way about ever in my life, and I have to see where it goes.” Eventually, Tayshia allowed him to come to the rose ceremony that night. Not only that, she kissed him passionately.
      Ivan, meanwhile, was confident that he would be the one getting the final rose. “I definitely feel like we have the strongest connection at this point,” he shared. Ivan, however, wasn’t the only one ready for a proposal. Zac told host Chris Harrison that he and Tayshia loved each other and he was “ready for a proposal. I’m ready to do it, but there’s no guarantees, especially around here.”
      Later in the rose ceremony, Tayshia mentioned about disagreement she had with Ivan about religion. “I wish I could say that there were a lot of red flags prior to this week. And there haven’t been. It’s just like, at the end of the day, religion’s part of my morals and my beliefs,” she said, to which Ivan replied, “I definitely get it… That is the roadblock for the two of us. I was definitely struggling with bringing it up, ’cause, you know, all the girls I have dated in the past, it never ended because of religion or anything, but I know that’s something that’s important to you.” With that, Ivan was sent home.
      The next day, Tayshia introduced Ben to her family. Ben revealed he felt nervous because he wanted to make a good impression. He told Tayshia’s mom Rosario, “I’m in love with your daughter. I’ve never felt this way in my lifetime.” Ben apparently won over her dad Desmond as he told him, “I think you’re a sincere young man. I see some good qualities in you, truthfully, I like that. And I really appreciate you being genuine.”
      Tayshia brought Zac to meet her family later. He told Rosario that he could see him and Tayshia getting married and starting a family. Her parents liked Zac and love his chemistry with Tayshia. The next day, as Tayshia still couldn’t decide between Ben and Zac, her dad warned her about making a mistake. “I’ve seen you hurt before, and I can’t let that happen again,” he told her. “It might not be what you want to hear, but I don’t want you to be making the biggest mistake of your life.”

        See also…

      The warning definitely further made Tayshia confused and “overwhelmed” to the point she wasn’t sure if she wanted to get married again. But then when she spent some time together with Zac, Tayshia felt that she and Zac were meant together. It helped her realize that her heart wasn’t for Ben.
      After she told Ben her feelings, Ben said, “I’m in love with you, that doesn’t change. I saw it going differently, but when you love somebody, you want them to be happy.” He told Tayshia that he was happy for her.
      As he met Neil Lane to pick out the engagement ring he would give to Tayshia, Zac got emotional. Meanwhile, Tayshia was back to feeling scared of getting engaged after being divorced.
      When Zac met Tayshia with a ring with him, he told Tayshia, “You’ve helped me experience a love I didn’t know existed, and you’ve made me smile more than anyone has ever made me smile. I love you, Tayshia. I love you because you’re a fighter. I love you because you’re a strong, independent woman. You make everyone around you better. I love you because you believe in me. I love you because you’re a total dork. And I love you because you drive me absolutely wild. I love everything about you. And I listened when you spoke of the importance of loyalty. I promise to be loyal to you.”
      “That first night when I got here, I was extremely excited about the possibility of finding love, but also very nervous and scared, because I didn’t know if finding true love was possible,” Tayshia responded. “When I first met you, I thought to myself, ‘He’s different, and that man is kind. He shows gratitude, and has the biggest smile. He has been through a lot, but has never given up, But also has learned how to read me better than really anyone ever has, and knows how to comfort me when I’m down.’ ”
      “There was one point in my life when I thought I would never get married, because of all the pain and the heartbreak I had been through, and I hit absolute rock bottom. And I know that I told you that I love you, but…,” she added before a long pause, “It’s more than that.”
      She continued, “I love you, Zac Clark. And I’ll do absolutely anything to keep that huge smile on your face, because you do everything to keep a huge smile on mine.” Finally Zac took the ring box out of his pocket and kneeled. “Marry me,” Zac said, to which Tayshia replied, “Yes! Yes a thousand times! I love you!” She then gave him her final rose before heading to New York.

      by

      The CW

      The Archie Andrews depicter shares the protocol implemented for the cast members on the set of his TV show for every kissing scenes to make sure it’s sure amid the Covid-19 crisis.

      Dec 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The stars of “Riverdale” are taking no chances when it comes to filming kissing scenes amid the COVID-19 pandemic – the actors must rinse their mouths for a full minute before each take.
      Actor KJ Apa has been filming season five of The CW series in Canada since production resumed in October (20), following a coronavirus-related shutdown in September, and there are extra safety precautions in place when the castmembers have to lock lips onscreen.
      “They have us come to set a little early,” he tells America’s “Live with Kelly and Ryan”, “and we have to rinse our mouths for one minute. There’s a guy standing there with a timer, counting down 60 seconds, and we have to rinse our mouths out for 60 seconds before the scene, before every take…”
      “It’s Listerine,” KJ adds, naming the mouthwash brand, and explaining that the routine “kills all the germs in your mouth.”

      He’s not entirely convinced the extreme measures are really keeping him and his pals protected at work, though.
      “In my mind, I’m like, by the time you’ve got your tongue in someone’s mouth, I’m not sure it even matters to be honest,” he shares.
      But he admits life on set is a little sweeter thanks to the special safeguards.
      “I mean, everyone’s got great breath,” he laughs.
      While the “Riverdale” cast were required to rinse their mouths before every kissing scene, it’s another story with the “EastEnders” production. Bosses at the British soap reportedly called on the real-life partners of the show’s biggest stars to join the cast and help overcome social distancing regulations. They were enlisted as body doubles for intimate scenes amid the pandemic.
