      Rozie Perez Admits to Initially Turn Down 'The Flight Attendant' Over Flying Anxiety

      by

      HBO Max

      During an appearance on ‘Good Morning America’, the actress playing lonely air stewardess in the new HBO Max series thanks co-star and producer Kaley Cuoco to convince her otherwise.

      Nov 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Rosie Perez tested her fear of travelling while making Kaley Cuoco’s new HBO Max series “The Flight Attendant”, after initially turning the role down.
      The actress plays a lonely air stewardess in the jet-setting comedy drama, which takes off this weekend, and admits producer and star Kaley had to beg her to take the part.
      “I initially turned down the offer, as stupid as that can be, and Kaley wouldn’t accept no for an answer,” Perez tells “Good Morning America”.
      The two actresses met and Rosie told “The Big Bang Theory” standout, “I can’t stand travelling; I hate flying”.
      But the veteran fell in love with Cuoco’s enthusiasm and decided to take a chance on the show, which was shot on location all over the globe.

      “The material was so undeniable it would be stupid for me to just let my anxiety about flying turn it down and she just cemented the deal,” she adds. “She’s an amazing person.”

      Her travel anxiety melted away as she bonded with the cast and crew and reveals the project handed her a dream-come-true moment at the Vatican in Italy during a day off.
      “When we got to the square they had a Jumbotron… and the Pope comes out and we all look up and someone yells out, ‘Hey, you’re on the Jumbotron’,” she chuckles.
      According to the official synopsis, “The Flight Attendant” is a story of how an entire life can change in one night. A flight attendant (Kaley Cuoco) wakes up in the wrong hotel, in the wrong bed, with a dead man – and no idea what happened. The dark comedic thriller is based on the novel of the same name by New York Times best-selling author Chris Bohjalian.
      “The Flight Attendant” premieres on HBO Max Thursday, November 26.

      'RHOP': Karen Huger Leaves Her Own Party After Being Confronted Over Monique Samuels Invite

      by

      Instagram

      The 57-year-old Bravo personality’s launch party takes a dramatic turn as she decides to walk out of it early and it has something to do with her inviting Monique to the event.

      Nov 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – A new beef has been born on “The Real Housewives of Potomac”. In the Sunday, November 29 episode of the Bravo reality show, the ladies gathered for the first time following their dramatic trip to Portugal. However, the event was equally dramatic as host Karen Huger walked out of her own event and it had something to do with Monique Samuels.
      The episode saw the Housewives attending Karen’s party to celebrate the launch of her new wig line. Prior to that, Ashley Darby and Monique met up for lunch. At the time, Monique revealed to Ashley that she’d been invited to Karen’s launch party, saying, “She’s been asking me all weekend to come and I told her if I do come, I can come early — [she’s] obviously going to invite [Candiace Dillard] and I want to support [her], but I’m not ready to be in the same space as Candiace.”
      Ashley was surprised with the revelation because back during the cast trip to Portugal, Karen said that she didn’t invite Monique to her event. She then called Karen, asking her to confirm her remarks about Monique. However, the LaDame fragrance founder denied ever saying that. “I don’t remember that … It’s people twisting my words,” Karen insisted.

      Meanwhile, Gizelle Bryant said in a confessional that she wouldn’t attend the bash. “I will not be attending Karen’s wig party because of her business partner, Steven, the dude that talks about me real bad on social media,” she said, calling out Karen’s creative director for the wig line. “And this is not even your business, it’s his business.”
      True to her words, Monique arrived at the event 30 minutes earlier. She wasn’t there for too long because when Candiance texted Karen that she was on the way, Monique decided to just go home.
      Later that night, Ashley confronted Karen about Monique. “Monique made it clear that you did invite her to come. And then Monique herself suggested, ‘Well, maybe I should come to set up.’ Why isn’t she here right now?” asked Ashley. To that, Karen angrily responded, “We have guests here. I’m going to ask you to be respectful. So I’m going to get ready and enjoy the rest of my evening. And thank you all for coming. Okay? Thank you.”
      After grabbing her husband’s hand, Karen announced her departure and walked out. “I have warned these women … I am leaving the party because I’m simply embarrassed and I’m tired of this. It’s unacceptable. It looks stupid,” Karen admitted in a confessional. Baffled, Dr. Wendy Osefo said, “How do you leave your own party the moment you get called out? Hello, welcome. Thank you for coming to this bulls**t.”

      The CW Shuts Down 'The Flash' Season 7 Production Following Positive COVID-19 Test

      by

      The CW

      While it remains to be seen whether the one who contracts the disease is one of the cast or the crew, the report states that the person is asymptomatic and self-isolating.

      Nov 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Another TV show has been affected by COVID-19. It has been reported that The CW halts production on season 7 of “The Flash” in Vancouver after a team member tested positive for the novel virus. Deadline is the first one to report.
      While it remains to be seen whether the one who contracts the disease is one of the cast or the crew, the report states that the person is asymptomatic. The report further claims that the person is currently self-isolating.
      Sources also add that the studio is currently evaluating adjustments to the production schedule so that they can resume filming without the affected employee and those who had close contacts with the person. Season 7 filming of “The Flash” initially resumed on October 1 as the new season is set to debut on February 23, 2020.
      This is not the first time for “The Flash” to make adjustment due to COVID-19. The network cut short season 6 because of the pandemic. For the first time in “The Flash” history, a season ended without the titular DC superhero defeating its main antagonists.

        See also…

      In season 7, the Scarlet Speedster, who is played by Grant Gustin, will be seen continuing his adventures without the Elongated Man as actor Hartley Sawyer was fired back in June due to racist tweets. As for Danielle Panabaker, the actress, who is currently on maternity leave, is scheduled to return in the latter part of season 7.
      “After a thrilling cliffhanger last season which saw the new Mirror Master (Efrat Dor) victorious and still-at-large in Central City, The Flash must regroup in order to stop her and find a way to make contact with his missing wife, Iris West-Allen (Candice Patton). With help from the rest of Team Flash, which includes superheroes Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker), Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes) and Nash Wells (Tom Cavanagh), as well as the Flash’s adoptive father Joe West (Jesse L. Martin), Meta-Attorney Cecile Horton (Danielle Nicolet), tough cub reporter Allegra Garcia (Kayla Compton) and brilliant tech-nerd Chester P. Runk (Brandon McKnight),” read the official synopsis for season 7.
      The synopsis continued, “Flash will ultimately defeat Mirror Master. But in doing so, he’ll also unleash an even more powerful and devastating threat on Central City: one that threatens to tear his team–and his marriage–apart.”
      “The Flash” joins other TV production which was paused over COVID-19 concern. Prior to this, CBS All Access’ “Why Women Kill”, Apple TV+’s “Mythic Quest”, ABC’s “Call Your Mother”, Amazon’s “Bosch, TNT’s “Claws” and HBO’s “The Gilded Age” were among the TV shows which production was forced to get shut down. Also getting affected by the widespread virus were Netflix’s “The Witcher”, “Dear White People” and “Vikings: Valhalla”, NBC’s “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago Med, Fox’s “The Resident”, Peacock’s “Rutherford Falls”, ABC’s “For Life”, CBS’s “Young Sheldon” and Disney+’s “Big Shot”.

      Bosses at NBCUniversal apologize and make donation to Selena’s charity organization after joking about her kidney transplant in an episode of the rebooted ‘Saved by the Bell’ show.

      Nov 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Saved By The Bell” producers have apologised for joking about Selena Gomez’s kidney transplant in the revived show.
      The “Rare” hitmaker received a kidney from her friend, actress Francia Raisa, after being diagnosed with lupus, and the programme’s executive producers, along with bosses from Peacock and NBCUniversal, were quick to say sorry after making fun of the situation during episode six of the reboot.
      “We apologise. It was never our intention to make light of Selena’s health,” they told Us Weekly. “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.”

      During the episode, two of the show’s stars argue over who donated a kidney to Selena while the words “Does Selena Gomez even have a kidney?” are seen written on the walls.
      The scenes prompted a new hashtag, #RespectSelenaGomez, which started trending on Twitter, with fans of the “Wolves” singer taking to the platform to express their anger.
      Francia also addressed the situation, writing on her own page, “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!”

      10 Couples Who Found Love on 'Dancing with the Stars'

      by

      Considering the intense rehearsal and steamy routines, romance unsurprisingly blooms on the dance floor not only between the celebrity contestants and their pro partners, but also among the pros.

      Nov 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Dancing with the Stars” doesn’t only birth celebrity dancers. It’s not completely rare for the show to bring on-screen romance or off-screen split for the celebrity contestants as well as its professional dancers.
      Considering their intense rehearsal and steamy routines, romance unsurprisingly blooms on the dance floor not only between the celebrity stars and their pro partners, but also among the pros. Some of them found love in each other after spending multiple hours together hitting the road together on the “Dancing With the Stars” tour.
      Here are some couples who found love on the ballroom of the long-running TV show.

      1. Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev
      Instagram

      Nikki Bella developed a friendship with Artem Chigvintsev during her appearance in season 25 of “DWTS”. Their friendship didn’t turn romance until 2 years later after her split from longtime boyfriend John Cena. The former WWE star confirmed their relationship in 2019.
      “He lets me be me,” she gushed over the pro dancer in October 2019. “The attention of what he gives me with my soul, with my personal life, my business life. Like, I have never met anyone who’s so supportive and I have no fear that he’s ever going to leave me for my imperfections, which is so amazing.” The two engaged in January of this year and welcomed their first son, Matteo, in August.

      2. Cheryl Burke and Matthew Lawrence

      Cheryl Burke and Matthew Lawrence met for the first time in 2006 when Matthew was a contestant in the third season of “Dancing With the Stars”. However, it wasn’t until the show’s tour in the following year that the two started dating each other.
      Their relationship wasn’t all smooth because they broke up in 2008. It took almost a decade for them to realize that they’re meant to be as Cheryl reached out to her ex in Christmas 2016. They quickly rekindled their romance with Matthew proposing to her in May 2018. They tied the knot a year later.

      3. Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec
      Instagram

      Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec are one of the long-lasting “DWTS” couples. The former pro dancer on the ABC series was partnered with the businessman back in 2015. Throughout the stint, romance was blooming between the pair, who later announced their engagement in February 2016.
      They didn’t wait too long to exchange vows in a July 2016 wedding. Expanding their little family, Kym and the “Shark Tank” star are now proud parents to their twins, Hudson and Haven, whom they welcomed in April 2018.

      4. Julianne Hough and Helio Castroneves

      Julianne Hough and Helio Castroneves sparked a romance speculation after the pro dancer and the Brazilian auto racing driver shared a kiss during their Quickstep performance in season 5, which saw him as the winner. Further fueling rumors of their alleged romance, Helio confirmed his split from his longrime fiance, Aliette Vazquez, not long after his stint on the show.
      Julianne and Helio were also spotted having a dinner at NYC’s hot spot Tao where the rumored lovebirds were seen “canoodling at a side table” and looked “seriously smitten.” However, the dancer insisted in an interview with PEOPLE that their relationship was purely platonic, saying, “I love Helio like he is my brother. We are the best of friends.”

      5. Emma Slater and Sasha Farber
      Instagram

      Emma Slater and Sasha Farber were dating for years before they met as competitors in season 17 of “Dancing with the Stars”, in which Emma was partnered with Bill Engvall and Sasha was partnered with Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, back in 2013. However, they split in 2014, only to rekindle in 2015.
      The pair continued going strong ever since with Sasha getting down on one knee to pop the question to his lady in a TV proposal in October 2016. The couple walked down the aisle at Bella Blanca in Los Angeles in March 2018.

      6. Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd
      Instagram

      Despite his nickname as the “bad boy of the ballroom”, Maksim Chmerkovskiy easily found love in fellow “Dancing with the Stars” pro dancer Peta Murgatroyd. The two had years of an on-and-off relationship before the brother of Valentin Chmerkovskiy proposed to Peta in December 2015.
      The lovebirds announced that they’re expecting their first child together in 2016 with a picture of Maks kissing Peta’s baby bump. “We couldn’t be happier. Baby Chmerkovskiy is coming,” she captioned it at the time. Their son Shai Aleksander was born in January 2017 and the pair tied the knot seven months later.

      7. Shannon Elizabeth and Derek Hough

      Derek Hough was romantically linked with a number of celebrity contestants he’s partnered with on “Dancing with the Stars”. Among them was environmentalist and vegan Shannon Elizabeth. The couple dated for more than a year after they appeared as a pair in the sixth season of “Dancing With the Stars” in 2008.
      Their romance didn’t last long because the twosome announced their split in 2009 on Twitter. “Hi everyone, we wanted you all to know directly from us, that Shannon & I have decided to end our relationship as boyfriend & girlfriend…,” Derek wrote at the time, while Elizabeth added, “However, we love and care about each other very much and will remain friends and in each others lives. Thank you everyone for all your sweet words & encouragement–it really means a lot to me!”

      8. Alan Bersten and model Alexis Ren
      ABC

      Alan Bersten and Alexis Ren made headlines with their possible romance after they shared a kiss in an episode of season 27 back in 2018. The pair appeared to try to work their romance out off-screen, but they seemingly failed to do so. As soon as the season wrapped up, fans saw their alleged budding romance dissolving rather quickly.
      “We’re focused on our careers and growing as individuals. He’s an amazing person and I’m grateful he came into my life. He is on his own journey and I respect that,” the social media influencer responded to a fan on Instagram. Even worse, Alan hinted that the intimacy between him and Alexis was nothing but staged.

      9. Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson
      Instagram

      Valentin Chmerkovskiy and fellow “DWTS” pro Jenna Johnson crossed path for the first time in 2014 when the “So You Think You Can Dance” alum joined the troupe member of the ABC dance competition show. Val and Jenna started off as a friend before their relationship took a romantic turn in 2015.
      They split briefly in 2016 with Val dating season 23 contestant Amber Rose later on. However, it didn’t last long because Jenna and Val found their way back to each other as they got engaged in 2018. “I knew Jenna was the one when I saw how close she is with her family and how she interacts with her nieces and nephews,” Val gushed in 2018. “Family is everything to me and I can’t wait for us to build one together.” The couple tied the knot in April 2019.

      10. Chrishell Stause and Gleb Savchenko
      Instagram

      Chrishell Stause and Gleb Savchenko sparked romance rumors after appearing as a pair in season 29 of “Dancing with the Stars” after he gave her flowers in order to make her stop being upset after an off-screen fight. Apparently further fueling the speculations, amid the rumors, Gleb announced his split from his wife of 14 years Elena Samodanov, who later shaded him over his “ongoing infidelity and a recent inappropriate relationship.”
      Despite that, both the “Selling Sunset” and the pro dancer denied having an affair. Calling it “false accusations,” Gleb insisted, “My relationship with Chrishell was and remains strictly platonic. Our friendship during our season on DWTS was not the reason for our split.”

      Ron Howard Reacts to Daughter Bryce Dallas Howard's 'Apollo 13' Tribute in 'The Mandalorian'

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Apollo 13’ director is proud of his actress daughter as she pays homage to his classic movie in one of the new episodes of the ‘Star Wars’ spin-off series.

      Nov 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ron Howard was a proud dad when he spotted his daughter Bryce Dallas Howard’s tribute to him in “The Mandalorian”.
      The “Jurassic World” star directed “The Heiress” episode of the “Star Wars” spin-off series and recreated a shot from her dad’s film “Apollo 13”.
      “She asked me about one particular insert, which was some water dripping down off a panel of switches. They were trying to figure out how to do it, so she asked me what was entailed,” Howard told NME.
      “I didn’t really think about it. Once in a while she’ll ask me an opinion about something and I throw out an answer.”

        See also…

      When he eventually saw the scene, Ron was more than chuffed, “I was really proud of that. Then it showed up on the internet and she said, ‘Dad it was very intentional if you don’t mind.’ I was as proud as I could possibly be. Great episode, too.”
      Bryce was equally proud of being able to pay homage to her father. When a fan commented, “Like father, like daughter!” she replied, “Nice catch!! 100% correct.”
      Before helming “The Heiress” in season 2, Bryce Dallas Howard stepped behind the lens for an episode called “Sanctuary” from season 1 that airing last year.
      She discussed with her father her experience as a director on the TV series and he was surprised by the amount of creative freedom given to each director by the producers.
      She said, “I really thought that I was going to just basically be like a soldier. And the reality was that both [producers] Jon [Favreau] and Dave [Filoni] wanted each of the filmmakers to very much put our stamp on everything. I was shocked, honestly. I kept telling my dad, and he was like, ‘Really?!’ ”

      Jack Whitehall's Dwarf Comedy Routine Yanked Off Air Following Backlash

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Bad Education’ actor is facing backlash following BBC’s rerun of his 2009 jokes about attending an event with an old university friend with dwarfism.

      Nov 28, 2020
      AceShowbiz – BBC chiefs have upheld complaints about British funnyman Jack Whitehall’s jokes about attending a gig with a friend with dwarfism.
      The “Jungle Cruise” star performed the routine as part of a 2009 edition of comedy showcase Live at the Apollo, which was recently repeated on BBC Two.
      Two viewers complained about the jokes and members of the BBC’s board of content have now upheld their objections and announced the routine will not be rebroadcast.
      In a statement, the board noted that Whitehall could exaggerate stereotypes “for comic effect,” but had taken “a stereotypical view of dwarfism itself.”

        See also…

      “There were occasions when it seemed a stereotypical view of dwarfism itself, rather than Jack Whitehall’s own ineptitude, was the source of the humour, which took the routine beyond the expectations of audiences in relation to material of this kind,” their statement reads.
      Whitehall has said that he is still in touch with the old university pal he referenced in the routine.
      Jack Whitehall recently hosted GQ Magazine’s Men of the Year Awards held with a scaled-back red carpet and no live audience due to the coronavirus pandemic.

      John Boyega was named an Icon, “Normal People” star Paul Mescal took the title of Breakthrough Actor of the Year, “No Time to Die” actress Lashana Lynch was crowned Breakthrough Actress, Michaela Coel brought home Creative Icon, Lewis Hamilton was deemed Game Changer of the Year, Piers Morgan won TV Personality, and Shawn Mendes won the gong for Solo Artist while the coveted Lifetime Achievement award was handed to legendary musician Ozzy Osbourne.
