      'Saved by the Bell' Deletes Controversial Scene About Selena Gomez's Kidney Surgery

      by

      Instagram

      Fans of Selena, who are also known as Selenators, previously put the show on blast over the insensitive scenes on the reboot in addition to trending ‘RESPECT SELENA GOMEZ’ on Twitter.

      Dec 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Saved by the Bell” reboot has made adjustment following backlash over scenes featuring references to Selena Gomez’s kidney transplant. In response to fans outrage, Peacock has now decided to remove the said scenes, PEOPLE confirms.
      One of the scenes on the reboot saw two students at Bayside High arguing over whether the singer transplant donor was her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber’s mom or singer Demi Lovato. Meanwhile, another scene featured someone writing on the walls in the school’s hallway, “Does Selena Gomez even have a kidney?”
      Fans of Selena, who are also known as Selenators, put the show on blast on Saturday, November 28 in addition to trending “RESPECT SELENA GOMEZ” on Twitter, demanding an apology from the show and network. “You have no professional ethics. You should be ashamed to air a show where a person is mocked for their serious illness,” one of them wrote. “It is not only offensive to Selena Gomez, but to all those who have had to go through a process as difficult as that.”

      Following the backlash, Peacock, NBCUniversal and the show’s executive producers released a joint statement in which they expressed remorse over the insensitive scenes. “We apologize. It was never our intention to make light of Selena’s health. We have been in touch with her team and will be making a donation to her charity, The Selena Gomez Fund for Lupus Research at USC,” the statement read.
      Francia Raisa, Selena’s close friend as well as her kidney donor, reacted to the apology. Writing on Twitter on Saturday, the “Grown-ish” star wrote, “Appreciate the apology but let’s not forget about the donors that potentially felt offended and dismissed from the spray paint written on the wall.”
      “As a kidney donor I want to show love and let other donors know that you are not alone. You are seen. You are appreciated. You are so brave and your selfless act is very much appreciated and valued!” she went on saying.
      Selena underwent a kidney transplant due to her lupus diagnosis back in 2017. “My kidneys were just done,” she explained at the time. “That was it, and I didn’t want to ask a single person in my life. The thought of asking someone to do that was really difficult for me. She volunteered and did it. And let alone someone wanting to volunteer, it is incredibly difficult to find a match. The fact that she was a match, I mean that’s unbelievable. That’s not real.”

      Andy Samberg Insists 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' Will Be Honest About Police Brutality

      by

      NBC

      When speaking about the new season of the NBC series, the Jake Peralta depicter stresses that their job is ‘pointing out that stuff isn’t getting done right and spreading the word.’

      Dec 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Andy Samberg insists the new season of NBC’s “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”, “won’t shy away” from tackling “serious problems” like police brutality.
      Earlier this year, producers made the decision to scrap the first episodes they had planned to film for the latest instalment of the show because of ongoing police brutality and systematic racism, which sparked the Black Lives Matter movement in the U.S. and beyond.
      Speaking to Variety, Samberg, who portrays Detective Jacob ‘Jake’ Sherlock Peralta and also serves as a producer on the show, insisted the new series would be “honest about what is going on in the world.”
      “The challenge is going to be being honest about what is going on in the world and not shying away from the fact that there are serious problems and also not punishing viewers who like our show and care about our characters,” he said.

        See also…

      Samberg added he believes “our characters need to examine their roles in the world. They’re going to be forced to look in the mirror and see who they’re complicit with.”

      “We’ve certainly never acted as if all police are innocent outside of our squad. In fact, I think we have a ton of episodes that are specifically about how there’s a lot of corruption and breaking protocol,” the “Saturday Night Live” alum explained.
      “I think it’s important for us and for anyone watching our show to keep in mind if we’re looking for a half-hour comedy show to be the ones to solve this problem, we’re in trouble.”
      “Our job is pointing out that stuff isn’t getting done right and spreading the word that we’re (really) hopeful that it can get better,” concluded the star.

      'The Stand' Director Unveils Why Marilyn Manson's The Kid Met Chopping Block

      by

      Instagram

      Director Josh Boone additionally reveals that the Stephen King forthcoming miniseries had to pass on a killer cover of The Doors’ song ‘The End’ by the rocker and Shooter Jennings.

      Dec 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Marilyn Manson will no longer appear on Stephen King’s forthcoming miniseries “The Stand”.
      It was previously revealed that the rocker would appear on the forthcoming TV adaptation of King’s post-apocalyptic novel but, ahead of the show’s premiere on 17 December, director Josh Boone has confirmed that Manson’s role as The Kid has been cut.
      “Just to clarify, Marilyn Manson and I had long-discussed him taking on the role of The Kid in ‘The Stand’,” he tells Entertainment Weekly. “He and the great Shooter Jennings even recorded a killer cover of The Doors’ song ‘The End’ that ultimately proved too expensive to use.”
      “The show was made on a very tight budget and some of the dreams we had went to the wayside. The Kid was another casualty.”

        See also…

      He adds, “When Manson wasn’t able to make it work schedule-wise, the storyline was ultimately excised and never shot, which is for the best, as no one could have slayed that role like Manson would have. Hope to work with him in the future.”
      “The Stand” was published in 1978 and is set in an “apocalyptic vision of a world decimated by plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil,” according to a synopsis.
      “The fate of mankind rests on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abagail and a handful of survivors. Their worst nightmares are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the Dark Man.”
      James Marsden, Amber Heard, Greg Kinnear, Whoopi Goldberg and Ezra Miller also star on the CBS All Access series.

      Carrie Underwood Confesses She Came Close to Ditch Her 'American Idol' Journey

      by

      Instagram

      When speaking about her experience on the singing competition, the season 4 winner recalls that she was left terrified after going through auditions and getting the ‘golden ticket’ to Hollywood.

      Nov 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Carrie Underwood almost quit “American Idol” in 2005 because she was so nervous onstage during the finals.
      The singer went on to win the competition and became one of the most successful Idol stars, but she almost bailed on the TV contest.
      “The summer before my senior year, I was home one day, watching TV and saw a news segment about people auditioning for the show ‘American Idol’ and I checked online,” she tells GuidePosts magazine. “The closest auditions were being held in St. Louis (Missouri). ‘How far away is St. Louis?’ I asked my mom. ‘Six or seven hours in the car’, she said. ‘Too far’, I thought. ‘Out of the question…'”

        See also…

      “It would be easy to say the rest is history, that it was meant to be. But it didn’t feel like that at the time.”
      “Going through a slew of auditions in St. Louis, getting the ‘golden ticket’ to Hollywood, every contestant’s dream, I was terrified. Every time I had to sing in front of the judges I’d get nervous the way I did in church that first time. Then I’d say a prayer and leave it in God’s hands.”
      “All at once it was just too much. Going out to Los Angeles by myself, competing with all these other people who were so talented. I burst into tears.”
      Carrie’s father, who accompanied her to Hollywood, gave her an out following one tough audition: “My dad turned to me in the backseat (and said), ‘Carrie…, we can go home right now, and we don’t ever have to talk about it again’,” she recalls. “I took a deep breath. ‘No’, I said at last. ‘I’ll go’.”

      Emilia Clarke Left 'Game of Thrones' Director in Awe With Impromptu Valyrian Monologue

      by

      HBO

      When talking about one particular scene from season 5, Jeremy Podeswa reveals that he decided to change Daenerys Targaryen’s speech from English to Valyrian at the last minute on the set.

      Nov 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actress Emilia Clarke managed to improvise an entire “Game of Thrones” speech in a fictional language without anyone noticing.
      The star, who portrayed dragon queen Daenerys Targaryen on the show, met the challenge of creating an entire chunk of dialogue from scratch on the spot after director Jeremy Podeswa decided to change the monologue from English to Valyrian at the last minute on set.
      “There’s usually a lot of preparation for that sort of thing and so much consideration that goes into it and she had quite a big monologue before she sets the guy on fire,” Jeremy recalled to Entertainment Weekly of the scene, from season five of the show. “I went over to Emilia and I was like, ‘I know this is a really big ask, but do you think you could figure out a way to do this in Valyrian?’ She said, ‘Yeah, sure, I think I can do this’. And I’m all, ‘Really?’ Then she went off and cobbled together things that (Daenerys) had said in the past that made sense. She came back in 10 minutes and had this whole monologue down.”

        See also…

      Podeswa was blown away by Emilia’s impromptu performance, insisting the improvisation was close to flawless.
      “I just had to hand it to Emilia for taking on the challenge and making it completely credible,” he gushed. “Every single take, every intonation, and the way she phrased everything, you completely understood what she was meant to be saying. Then the subtitles all seemed authentic to what she was doing.”
      “She knew the language well enough at that point to make it all work. It wasn’t tracking perfectly in Valyrian, but no fan ever noticed it. She did an amazing job.”
      “Game of Thrones” ran for eight seasons before concluding its run last year (19).
