      George Clooney Rules Out 'ER' Reboot, Co-Star Agrees It Would 'Cheapen' the Legacy

      by

      WENN

      The Dr. Doug Ross depicter dismisses calls for ‘ER’ revival during a reunion event and his two former co-stars, Julianna Margulies and Carol Hathaway, agree with him.

      Apr 24, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      George Clooney doesn’t think an “ER” reboot would fare as well as the original series.

      The actor became a household name after playing Dr. Doug Ross for 15 seasons on the medical drama – which ran from 1994 to 2009 – but suggested he wouldn’t be up for reprising the role if the show was to return to screens because he’s unconvinced it could match the consistent quality displayed in the programme’s original run.

      Asked about the possibility during a live virtual reunion of the “ER” cast on “Stars in the House” to support co-star Gloria Reuben’s non-profit organisation, Waterkeeper Alliance, he said, “I don’t know. The hardest part is that when you look at the show and consistently over so many years – it would be hard to say that you could do it at the level that we did it. I’m not sure that that’s available.”

      George has been enjoying old episodes of the show recently with his wife Amal and praised the series as “such great television.”

      He gushed about the show’s season one episode “Love’s Labor Lost”, “This is better than anything I see in film or anywhere. This is stunning. It’s stunning work.”

      “I felt that way about a lot of episodes I watched. I’m not sure (about a reboot)… it’s hard to catch lightning again.”

      His former co-star Julianna Margulies agreed, insisting a reboot would “cheapen” the show’s legacy.

      The actress – who played Carol Hathaway – said, “You can’t capture lightning in a bottle twice. I think you have to leave what was so beautiful and move on, because it just feels cheap… It would cheapen it for me.”

      However, Ming-Na Wen admitted she’d enjoy returning to play Jing-Mei Chen just because it would mean she could reconnect with the cast again.

      She said during the reunion, which was streamed on People magazine’s social channels, “I would love to reboot only to be able to hang out with this group of people, the talent.”

      “As you get older, the appreciation level and the awareness is so much greater. Just such great fortune. I would love to have been, even now… just even this, surrounded by these people.”

      George admitted he’d been “excited” about reconnecting for the virtual reunion.

      He said, “I’m excited to see this gang. These are people that I really love, you know, and that – we grew up together, really grew up together, in many ways, and it’s fun to see you guys.”

      Gal Gadot to Shine Light on Real-Life Wonder Women in New Docu-Series

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Wonder Woman’ actress is set to front a National Geographic project, teaming up with her own husband to shine a light on six inspirational women around the world.

      Apr 24, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      “Wonder Woman” star Gal Gadot is using her fame to highlight real-life heroes in a new project for National Geographic.

      The Israeli actress, who announced on Thursday (22Apr21) she’s expecting her third daughter, has partnered with her husband, Yaron Varsano, to produce a six-part docuseries, “National Geographic Presents: Impact with Gal Gadot”, in which she tells the “special stories” of six females around the world working to better their communities.

      “(In) every episode we’re going to show a different real-life hero,” Gal said during an appearance on “Live with Kelly and Ryan”.

      The former beauty queen, who became a global superstar following the huge success of 2017’s “Wonder Woman”, has been looking to find a way to channel her fame for good, and she’s convinced “Impact” is just the ticket.

      “After the success of Wonder Woman and fame and all of that, I just wanted to do something good and use the broad reach that I have to people through social media,” she revealed.

        See also…

      The couple came up with the idea for the series after catching a short film shot by pal Ryan Pallota about a 20 year old who lives in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

      “She used to be a ballerina,” Gal shared. “She had to stay in the favelas (slums) to help her mother and she basically created an amazing outlet for the girls in one of the most dangerous parts of Rio… She opened a dance school and the thing about living in the favelas is so many kids don’t have access to go to school or to do much with their lives… And basically she broke this cycle for over 250 girls, who are (now) super empowered…”

      And Gal, who will reteam with “Wonder Woman” director Patty Jenkins for a third outing as Diana Prince following last year’s hit sequel, “Wonder Woman 1984”, is convinced the six stirring and empowering tales are airing at just the right time.

      “We’re living in a world where there’s so much hate and division and negativity,” she added. “I just wanted to bring light and positivity and goodness.”

      “National Geographic Presents: Impact with Gal Gadot” debuts on 26 April.

      The two famous friends meet to discuss the campaign for SKIMS brand velour tracksuits before they recall the time when Kim desperately wanted to be on a magazine cover.

      Apr 23, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” has unveiled a new teaser for an upcoming episode of its final season. In the new clip, which was released on Thursday, April 22, fans are teased with a fun cameo by Kim’s BFF Paris Hilton.

      The two famous friends reunite as they meet to discuss the campaign for Kim’s SKIMS brand velour tracksuits. That is when they are throwing back to the time when Kim desperately wanted to be on a magazine cover.

      “Hi! How are you?” Kim greets the hotel heiress who looks gorgeous in a leopard-patterned outfit. “I texted you earlier, I think I have the wrong number,” Kim adds, before Paris coyly responds, “I have like five phones, so it might be one of those.”

        See also…

      Talking about doing the SKIMS velour tracks photoshoot with Paris, Kim, who used to Paris’ partying sidekick, says, “The TikTok campaign wasn’t really authentic to me, but then I thought, OMG, me, Paris, like that is everything.”

      The two then look at some old photos of Kim back in the day as they look for some inspiration for the throwback campaign. They later find a picture of Kim posing in a pink babydoll dress against a white Range Rover back in 2007. “Is that for Complex?” Paris asks, to which Kim replies, “It was either Complex or Dub magazine. It was like the only cover I could get at the time.”

      Recalling that time, Kim continues, “I remember I wanted to be on the cover of a magazine so badly that there was a dog magazine, and I hated dogs. I didn’t even have a dog, they were like, ‘Would you be on the cover?’ and I was like, ‘Whose dog can I borrow?’ ” The estranged wife of Kanye West revealed that she eventually borrowed Nicole Richie’s puppy for the gig.

      Being one of the world’s most famous women today, Kim easily landed gigs for magazine covers. She was on two highly coveted American Vogue covers, the first one was in 2014 featuring her and Kanye. Later in May 2019, she graced the cover solo. She was also featured in the cover of Forbes magazine.

      WENN

      The ‘Fancy’ hitmaker is revealed as one of the female contestants for the new ABC reality show which will be hosted by Zooey Deschanel and Michael Bolton.

      Apr 23, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Iggy Azalea has signed up for “The Celebrity Dating Game”.

      The rapper will appear alongside former “The Bachelorette” star Hannah Brown and Broadway’s Taye Diggs as the first contestants for the new ABC reality show, which will be hosted by Zooey Deschanel and Michael Bolton.

      Describing the programme, network officials said, “The Celebrity Dating Game offers a wry wink at modern dating with a star-studded roster of celebrity singles from television, music, comedy, reality TV and feature film in their pursuit to find love.”

      ABC teased that the series offers “the same iconic feel as the original classic dating show.”

      Each episode will see two celebrities each picking a suitor – based on their responses to various questions – from a hidden panel of three potential partners.

      However, the hopeful romantics don’t know the identity of the celebrity and they’ll have to guess through clues given as “parody song performances” by Michael.

      The casting was revealed two weeks after Iggy Azalea shared screenshots of her own Instagram DMs. She unveiled many sexual messages, a marriage proposal, and a cash offer to talk to one mystery celebrity.

      “I’ll pay you for your time,” one of her admirers wrote. “I’ll give you 15k just to speak to me and have a conversation. Over the phone or on here. I’ll Cash App the money.”

      Iggy blurred out the names of the senders to keep their identities under wraps, but left the verified ticks next to their names and their follower counts visible – showing that they were all from profiles of big stars.

      by

      WENN/Bizu

      Speaking about his participation in the animated show that is inspired by artist Gilbert Shelton’s 1960s stoner series, the ‘Floating’ rapper explains he ‘wanted to do something outside of rap, creatively.’

      Apr 22, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Rapper ScHoolboy Q is making his acting debut in the TV adaptation of cult comic book “The Freak Brothers”.

      The hip-hop star will voice a character based on himself in the animated show, inspired by artist Gilbert Shelton’s 1960s stoner series “The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers”, which already boasts cast members like Woody Harrelson, John Goodman, Tiffany Haddish, and Pete Davidson.

      And ScHoolboy admits he took the premise of the series to heart while in the recording booth: “I love that I get to play myself,” he told Variety. “I don’t just mean playing ‘Q’ either, but the real me. I was high on ‘shrooms when I recorded my scenes.”

      He added, “I wanted to do something outside of rap, creatively, and this was a great fit. It’s hilarious and it just ‘feels stoner’ like I am. The show is really about what it says it’s about. Working on my episode was laid back and fun, while still challenging creatively and pushing boundaries.”

      Also joining the project is Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith, the founder of Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) – home to ScHoolboy and artists like Kendrick Lamar and SZA. He will serve as an executive producer on “The Freak Brothers”, and also produce the show’s theme tune, created by artist Ray Vaughn.

      Describing the show as “funny and perfect for modern times,” Tiffith added, “WTG’s [executive producers] Mark Canton and Courtney Solomon and [producer] Dorothy Canton were welcoming and great at working with our creative vision to ensure TDE was represented well.” Vaughn chimed in,”The stuff I’ve seen so far has been hilarious.”

      AceShowbiz –
      “The Masked Singer” returned with Super 8 episode on Wednesday, April 21. For the very first time in the series history, two contestants were eliminated during the two-hour episode. Performing that night was the remaining four singers from Group A (Robopine, Russian Dolls, Seashell and Yeti) and four singers from Group B (Black Swan, Chameleon, Piglet and Crab).

      Kicking off the night was the Piglet as he sang “The Pretender” by Foo Fighters. Guest judge Rita Wilson noted that the Piglet moved like he’s a rock star. Lance Bass, Chris Pine, Adam Levine, Eli and Peyton Manning were among the guesses for the Piglet.

      The next performance was from Robophine as he sang “Let’s Get It On” by Marvin Gaye. He shared that he always loved singing but his family would always yell, “Shut up!” to him, making him lose his confidence. The panelists thought that Robophine could be Terry Crews, Aaron Hall or Jamie Foxx.

      Chameleon then hit the stage to perform “Regulate” by Warren G featuring Nate Dogg. Among his clues were that his favorite food is fried bird and cricket cake. He also said that he’s always with his gang and he supports all the troops. Machine Gun Kelly, Kyrie Irving, G-Eazy and Waka Flocka Flame’s names were thrown into the mix for the guesses.

      Singing “Lonely” by Justin Bieber and Benny Blanco was the Yeti. In his clue package, there were men in black playing ring toss as well as “ABCD” which were held in his paws. The panelists guessed Sisqo, Todrick Hall, Justin Timberlake, Omarion and Mario.

      Following it up was the Russian Dolls, who opted to sing “24K Magic” by Bruno Mars that night. Statue of Liberty, a road sign for Indiana Ave, “Made in Milwaukee,” the dolls in a subway and the busy streets of New York were included in their clue package. The judges thought Jonas Brothers, Hanson or Boyz II Men could be the ones under the mask.

      The Crab then performed “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins, while his clue package saw the Brooklyn Bridge, a rainbow, a violin and a Jack of clubs. Panelist thought he could be Ray Parker Jr., Flavor Flav or Keith Sweat. Later, the Seashell took the stage to sing Tiffany’s version of “I Think We’re Alone Now”. A turkey (or roasted chicken), a newscaster’s table, a Christmas tree and some TNT dynamite were among the clue package. The judges guessed Sarah Silverman, Tamera Mowry and Scout Willis.

      Black Swan concluded the night with a performance of “Use Somebody” by Kings of Leon. In her clue package, she included a “I’m Late” sign, a record player, gnomes and a Cinderella-themed glass slipper. The panel mentioned the names of Kesha (Ke$ha), Nelly Furtado, Demi Lovato, Becky G or JoJo.

      It was time to reveal which 6 singers advanced to the next round. Following virtual audience and panelists vote, the Crab was named the first contestant to be eliminated. Before he unmasked himself, Robin Thicke guessed Ray Parker, Jr. and Nicole Scherzinger named Keith Sweat. Meanwhile, Ken Jeong and Jenny McCarthy guessed Bobby Brown. The Crab was indeed Bobby Brown!

      The other singer who was sent home that night was the Seashell. Ken initially thought she was Kristin Chenoweth, but then changed it to Sarah Silverman. Nicole changed her guess from Hilary Duff to Tamera Mowry. As for Jenny, she stuck with Vanessa Hudgens, while Robin changed his guess from Ashley Judd to Haylie Duff. Seashell was Tamera Mowry!

      by

      Instagram

      ‘How I Met Your Father’ has got a straight-to-series order from Hulu, seven years after creators Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger first teased the series back in 2014.

      Apr 22, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Hilary Duff is set to lead the cast of a “How I Met Your Mother” spin-off, titled “How I Met Your Father”.

      Hulu has given the project a straight-to-series order, seven years after creators Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger first teased the series back in 2014 with a pilot starring Greta Gerwig and Drew Tarver.

      That show wasn’t picked up by bosses at CBS, where “How I Met Your Mother” aired.

      Another version of the series, written by Alison Bennett, also failed to take off in 2018, but now Aptaker and Berger are back behind the project, and it has been picked up for a 10-episode run.

      According to Deadline, Duff, who will also serve as a producer, will play a mum telling her son the story of how she met his father.

      “We are beyond excited to be bringing ‘How I Met Your Father’ to Hulu,” Aptaker and Berger said in a joint statement. “The iconic original series revolutionized the half-hour comedy, and we are so honored to be carrying the torch forward for the next generation – and with Hilary Duff no less.”

      “We can’t wait for audiences to meet Sophie and her crew, and watch them come into their own and find love in modern-day New York City.”

      New mum Duff adds, “I’ve been incredibly lucky in my career to play some wonderful characters and I’m looking forward to taking on the role of Sophie… Isaac and Elizabeth are brilliant, and I can’t wait to work alongside them and all of their genius. Just fangirling over here… I realize these are big shoes to fill and I’m excited to slip my 6 ½’s in there.”

      “How I Met Your Mother” ran from 2005 to 2014 and re-runs are currently available on Hulu.

      Report: Phaedra Parks to Return to 'RHOA' as Cast Is Changing

      by

      Bravo/Charles Sykes

      An insider says of the ‘RHOA’ alum, ‘The hope is that having fan favorites like Phaedra come back will help the show rise back into the 2 million viewers-a-week arena.’

      Apr 22, 2021

      AceShowbiz – “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” may have a major cast shake-up in its upcoming season. If a new report is to be believed, the rating drops may prompt the producers to change the cast members for the next season, adding that Phaedra Parks may return to the show.
      ” ‘RHOA’ was once Bravo’s highest-rated housewives show but has lost its superiority over other shows in the franchise,” a source said to The Sun.”There’s going to be a big cast shake-up next season and some producers are mulling over asking Phaedra Parks to return.”
      The insider went on to say, “The hope is that having fan favorites like Phaedra come back will help the show rise back into the 2 million viewers-a-week arena.”
      It was reported that the premiere of “RHOA” dropped by almost half a million viewers. “Many insiders believe [NeNe Leakes] would help drive ratings, but her feud with producers seems to show no signs of letting up,” the source continued.

        See also…

      Back in June 2020, Phaedra reacted to fans who wished to see her back on the popular reality TV show. “Well, keep hope alive,” Phaedra said of rejoining the franchise. However, the 46-year-old mentioned at the time that she’s “trying to find love. I’m not trying to fight love.”
      Talking about her appearance on “Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition”, Phaedra continued, “I’m in a different place right now, so that’s why you should tune into ‘Marriage Boot Camp’, so you can see me finding love and being in love versus fighting,” Parks said.
      Phaedra left “RHOA” in 2017 after spreading rumors about Kandi Burruss and her husband drugging and sexually assaulting Porsha Williams.
      Fans apparently were excited with the idea of Phaedra coming back to the show. “I stopped watching after she was kicked off. If she returns I might tune in,” one person stated in a comment. “Bring phae phae back,” one other added, with someone else echoing the sentiment, “Please bring Phaedra! The show needs some spice.”
      “lol that means kandi leaving,” one other predicted. Seemingly not gonna miss the Xscape singer, a user said, “Yes I’ll actually start watching the show again… Bye Kandi.”
