    'The Witcher' Resumes Production Without Injured Henry Cavill

    Netflix

    The actor playing Geralt of Rivia in the Netflix hit series is said to be in recovery after sustaining a leg muscle injury during filming and was allegedly unable to walk properly following the set incident.

    Dec 14, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Production on Netflix hit “The Witcher” has resumed without leading man Henry Cavill after he injured his leg on set.
    According to sources, the actor was wearing a safety harness above the set when the injury occurred, and although Henry was not hospitalised, filming was halted as the star couldn’t walk properly, according to The Sun, and doctors told him to rest.
    A source tells the publication: “The filming has been hit because of what happened to Henry. He was on an assault course and injured his leg. He just suddenly pulled up and was clearly in a lot of pain. It wasn’t clear if an object had hit his leg or it was some sort of hamstring or muscle injury.”

    “It wasn’t bad enough to need an ambulance but it’s messed up the filming schedule as he can’t walk properly.”
    Filming at Arborfield Studios in London has now continued without Cavill, who is recovering from what Deadline sources claim is a minor leg muscle injury sustained during production.
    Production on “The Witcher”‘s second season has already been suspended twice – first in March, when actor Kristofer Hivju revealed he had tested positive for the coronavirus, and then last month following multiple positive COVID-19 cases.
    Season 2 official logline reads, “Convinced Yennefer’s (Anya Chalotra) life was lost at the Battle of Sodden, Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill) brings Princess Cirilla (Freya Allan) to the safest place he knows, his childhood home of Kaer Morhen. While the Continent’s kings, elves, humans and demons strive for supremacy outside its walls, he must protect the girl from something far more dangerous: the mysterious power she possesses inside.”

    Dionne Warwick Deems 'Saturday Night Live' Spoof of Her 'a Hilarious Birthday Gift'

    Instagram

    In a ‘Dionne Warwick Talk Show’ skit aired on December 12, Ego Nwodim impersonates the ‘Walk On By’ singer as she presses her guests about her social media feud with Wendy Williams.

    Dec 14, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Dionne Warwick was delighted over her “Saturday Night Live” parody. Upon learning that she got impersonated by Ego Nwodim in a “Dionne Warwick Talk Show” skit for the December 12 episode of the sketch comedy show, the “Walk On By” songstress was quick to share her thought, calling the spoof “a hilarious birthday gift.”
    The legendary singer, who turned 80 on Saturday, December 12, took to Twitter to offer her reaction. “This was a hilarious birthday gift. Thank you, @nbcsnl,” she gushed. “That young lady’s impression of me was very good and who knew @BrittaniWarrick had so many jobs?” In another tweet, she praised Ego by writing, “You did a wonderful job, baby. You are a star. @eggy_boom.”

    Dionne Warwick called her ‘Saturday Night Live’ parody ‘a hilarious birthday gift’.
    In the “Dionne Warwick Talk Show” skit, Ego’s Dionne sat down for some chats with a number of guests. They included Harry Styles who was played by Timothee Chalamet, Billie Eilish, portrayed by Melissa Villasenor, Timothee Chalamet parodied by Chloe Fineman, and Machine Gun Kelly who was impersonated by his pal Pete Davidson.

    When chatting with Timothee’s Harry, Ego’s Dionne pressed him about her social media feud with Wendy Williams. She asked, “Why is Wendy Williams being a b***h to me? She started beefing and now she’s acting like she can’t finish.” In response, the fake Harry replied, “I’m sorry, I don’t know who Wendy Williams is.” The host then quipped, “Yeah, I knew I liked your a**.”
    The “That’s What Friends Are For” hitmaker’s impersonator later jokingly asked Melissa’s “Billie Eyelash” to put a hex on the 56-year-old TV host. She stated, “Billie Eyelash, you’re spooky. Can you put a hex on Wendy Williams for me?”
    The “SNL” sketch came days after Dionne blasted Wendy on Twitter for making bad remarks about her on the latter’s show. “A friend alerted me that Wendy Williams was spending a lot of not nice time speaking on me. I tuned in to her show to catch the last few minutes of her speaking about me and as in the past she seems not to be able to speak without maliciously made comments,” she wrote the December 9 post.
    “My hope is my name will refrain from being spoken or thought of by her as this conversation was held a few years ago letting her know there was nor would be any need for her to say the name Dionne Warwick for any reason. I don’t believe one has to be mean to get noticed,” she continued. “There’s an old saying you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar! Try it Wendy you might like it!”

    Wendy Williams Takes Hiatus from Show in the Wake of Her Mom's Death

    WENN

    The TV host confirmed the heartbreaking news of her mom Shirley Skinner Williams’ death in the Monday, December 7 episode of her talk show, revealing that her ‘mom passed away many, many, many, many weeks ago.’

    Dec 12, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Wendy Williams is pausing production on “The Wendy Williams Show” following the death of her mom, Shirley Skinner Williams. The hiatus was announced by Debmar-Mercury, the production company behind her talk show, on Friday, December 11.
    “Next week, ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ will air repeats to allow Wendy to travel and be with her family at this time,” a spokesperson for the company announced in a statement. “The show will return with original episodes on Monday, January 4th. Debmar-Mercury extends its deepest condolences to Wendy and her family.”

    Reports about the death of her mother started emerged online earlier this month as family friend Courtney Brown wrote in a now-deleted post, “One of my granny’s best friends for 83 years passed away…Mrs. Shirley Williams. Always available for my granny and our family, she flew in to share this beautiful speech at granny’s 100th birthday. Mr. and Mrs. Williams is truly what the kids now call #CoupleGoals.”
    Wendy only confirmed the heartbreaking news in the Monday, December 7 episode of her talk show. “My mom passed away many, many, many, many weeks ago,” the 56-year-old TV host shared while trying to hold back tears, “She passed away beautifully and peacefully and surrounded by love. She didn’t suffer, not one bit, thank goodness.”
    “Our relationship was like that of two teenage girls. If I could pick an age, 17… My relationship with my mother, right up until the end, was so girly and so ridiculously giggly,” she went on reminiscing her memory with her late mom.
    However, Wendy’s brother appeared to dispute her claim about their mother’s death. Instead of “many, many, many, many weeks ago,” Thomas Williams said that his “mom passed away last Sunday (December 6).” He said on Instagram Live, “It’s a family thing. We’ve been moving through. Now you can see what Wendy has been going through. It’s life. She may be a celebrity. She may be on stage. She’s a child of somebody’s as well. She’s a sister. She’s an aunt. She’s a mother. And it’s all laid out on stage.”

    AceShowbiz – Pop star Kelly Clarkson will be limping her way through the holidays after injuring her knee while running in high heels.
    The “Stronger” hitmaker was behind schedule to start taping Friday’s (11Dec20) episode of her U.S. daytime series, “The Kelly Clarkson Show”, when she stumbled awkwardly backstage.
    The singer decided the show must go on and hobbled her way to the stage to open the programme, but had to take a seat in an armchair as she welcomed viewers to her first festive episode.

    Explaining the need for comfy furniture, she said, “Well, this is our first holiday show… and I was real excited about it and we were running late, and I don’t like to be late, so I was running in my heel, which was a bad decision because apparently I turned a corner and possibly did something to my ACL (anterior cruciate ligament).”
    “So, 2020 – just the gift that keeps on giving…!” quipped Kelly, who is also going through a nasty divorce from estranged husband Brandon Blackstock. “I’m just gonna sit in this chair… with my leg elevated.”
    “I’ve now had the (eye) patch, because I had an eye situation, now I have a knee situation…,” she continued, referring to the eye covering she had to wear in September after suffering an infection.
    Kelly went on to admit she’s always been a clumsy person, so much so she was given an award for “Crisis of the Day” when she was a schoolkid.
    “I don’t know why it happens, but stuff happens,” she shared, before admitting she should have known better this time around to avoid “looking like a fool on television.” “Well, I was running in heels and turned a corner, like I’m some kind of athletic person that can do that, and it didn’t go well!”

    “I just, I lost it. I lost my temper again with Sean belittling me over the vacuum cleaner,” the 43-year-old shared in self-filmed footage in which she struggled to get the charger for the appliance to work. “Instead of being like, ‘Yeah, I’ll help you’ — ’cause he’s still going to the office. He’s still working. He’s still getting out of the house.”
    “Instead of helping, he made fun of me and I lost it and I smacked him,” Braunwyn continued. “I haven’t done that since we were in Aspen.”

Nothing though like what happened in Aspen,” she said while a video taken from their time in Colorado was played.

I was angry and I was lashing out and Curren saw it,” referring to their 7-year-old child.
    Prior to this, Braunwyn came out as lesbian in an interview with GLAAD. “I like women. I’m gay. I’m a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. I’m a lesbian,” she first spilled. “It has taken me 42 years to say that but I am so proud of where I am right now. I’m so happy where I am. To be able to be comfortable in my own skin after so long is just so nice.”
    Sean showed his full support for his wife by posting a throwback photo of them. He simply declared, “I love you. I’m proud of you. And I support you. Always. @braunwynwindhamburke.” Hours later, the reality TV star debuted her girlfriend on Instagram. In a snap, she could be seen resting her chin on her partner’s shoulder.
