      'The Masked Singer' Recap: Broccoli Cut, Unveiled as Famed Singer

      by

      FOX

      In the Turkey Day-themed new episode, the remaining three singers in Group C, Broccoli, Jellyfish and Mushroom, are vying for the last two spots in the Super Six.

      Nov 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “The Masked Singer” returned with a new episode on a new night for this week only. In honor of Thanksgiving, the show aired the Turkey-themed episode on Thursday, November 26 with one of the panelists, Ken Jeong, taking the theme literally by donning a Turkey hat. Joining Ken, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke at the panelists’ table was returning guest judge Jay Pharoah.
      The episode started off with a group performance of The Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back”. Offering some clues, Jellyfish teased an “Oscar moment,” Broccoli showed off some “toes & knees” and Mushroom claimed to have ties to “Washington.” Meanwhile, the clue packages were delivered by the contestants’ loved ones who shared additional information about the celebrity under the mask.

      Jellyfish kicked off the solo performance, singing Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now” on a set bursting with neon colors. Jellyfish’s singer described Jellyfish as “rebel” of their “by-the-book family” but she’s also an overachiever. The judges’ guesses included Charli XCX, Kylie Jenner and McKayla Maroney.
      [embedded content]
      Mushroom followed it up with a rendition of Katy Perry’s “Unconditionally”. Mushroom’s secret confidant revealed the contestant was class president in high school with a GPA over 4.0. The clue package also mentioned that “the name that I go by now was not my name when I first sprouted.” The judges guessed Mushroom could be Taye Diggs, Jaden Smith or The Weeknd.

      Last, but not least, Broccoli belted out “Old Time Rock & Roll” by Bob Seger. The clues included a Jason mask, five beetles, a moose, dice and “a frontman.” Broccoli’s leading ladies described him as “the greatest showman,” “larger than life” with “showbiz stories [that] are legendary.” The judges guessed Broccoli could be Paul Anka, Al Roker and Ringo Starr.
      [embedded content]
      Host Nick Cannon then announced that Jellyfish was going straight to the Super Six, which meant Mushroom and Broccoli would face off in the Smackdown. For their last chance at securing the spot in the Super Six, Broccoli sang Alabama’s “Take Me Down” and Mushroom changed voice again while singing Donny Hathaway’s classic “A Song for You”.

      Ultimately, the judges chose to send Mushroom to the Super Six and cut Broccoli. Before Broccoli was unmasked, the judges made their final guesses. Robin, who guessed Bob Newhart in the first impression, changed his guess to Paul Anka, while the other judges said that Broccoli might be Wayne Newton, Neil Sedaka, Paul Simon, Ringo Starr and Al Roker. Robin was right as the eliminated contestant was unveiled as the Canadian crooner Paul Anka.
      The legendary singer then shared his experience of joining the singing competition series. “I’m very humbled because we have gone through something in our country and to have this kind of fun and enjoy this like this, you should all be very, very proud,” he said.
      Jellyfish and Mushroom will join Crocodile, Popcorn, Seahorse and Sun in next week’s Super Six.

      Joss Whedon Quits New TV Project 'The Nevers' Following 'Justice League' Drama

      by

      WENN

      The former Marvel filmmaker leaves his television project amid ‘Justice League’ drama as Ray Fisher accused him of ‘abusive’ and ‘unprofessional’ behavior.

      Nov 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Joss Whedon has cancelled plans to return to TV after exiting his new science-fiction show “The Nevers”.
      The “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” creator was due to helm his first series in a decade by taking the reins on the HBO drama, but he and bosses at the U.S. TV network have announced he will not be writing, directing, producing and acting as showrunner as planned.
      HBO chiefs told The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday (25Nov20), “We have parted ways with Joss Whedon. We remain excited about the future of The Nevers and look forward to its premiere in the summer of 2021.”
      In his own statement, “The Avengers” director said he was leaving the show to focus on an “exciting change” in his personal life.

      “This year of unprecedented challenges has impacted my life and perspective in ways I could never have imagined, and while developing and producing The Nevers has been a joyful experience, I realize that the level of commitment required moving forward, combined with the physical challenges of making such a huge show during a global pandemic, is more than I can handle without the work beginning to suffer,” he said.
      “I am genuinely exhausted, and am stepping back to martial my energy towards my own life, which is also at the brink of exciting change.”
      The show was picked up without the need for a pilot in July, 2018 after a bidding war and is set to star Laura Donnelly, Olivia Williams, James Norton, Tom Riley, Ann Skelly, Ben Chaplin, Pip Torrens, Zackary Momoh, Nick Frost, Rochelle Neil, and Eleanor Tomlinson.
      “The Nevers” is billed as “an epic science fiction drama about a gang of Victorian women who find themselves with unusual abilities, relentless enemies, and a mission that might change the world.”
      Whedon’s exit comes after “Justice League” actor Ray Fisher accused him of “abusive” and “unprofessional” behaviour on the set of the film, prompting an investigation at Warner Bros. which, like HBO, is a part of WarnerMedia.

      Dwayne Johnson Gets Fanny Pack Float in Macy's Thanksgiving Parade Ad to Promotes 'Young Rock'

      by

      Instagram

      During the November 26 broadcast of the 2020 Macy’s Parade, NBC debuts a ticklish commercial that features the wrestler-turned-actor’s infamous look as one of the event’s larger-than-life balloons.

      Nov 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s iconic 1990s look has become a part of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. During the Thursday, November 26 broadcast of the annual parade, NBC debuted a ticklish commercial to promote the wrestler-turned-actor’s upcoming series “Young Rock”, and it featured a recreation of his infamous fanny pack picture into one of the event’s larger-than-life balloons.
      The 30-second ad saw Johnson’s balloon floating over the streets of Manhattan as “Today” show co-hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb gave their reaction in a voiceover. “This balloon celebrates NBC’s new comedy ‘Young Rock’ which follows the wild times of Dwayne as a kid, a teen and a college footballer,” Kotb introduced, while Guthrie added, “The fanny pack alone is filled with 50,000 cubic feet of helium.”
      After the commercial aired, Johnson shared his thought on the unique float via Instagram. “Never in my wildest dreams…,” he wrote on his post of the promo clip. “I’ve been a lucky SOB to have done some pretty cool shit in my career, but after seeing my @nbcyoungrock FANNY PACK FLOAT in the #MacysThanksgivingParade, this might take the cake.”
      Unafraid of poking fun at himself, the 48-year-old continued, “This time in my life may represent when I had just $7bucks in my fanny pack, but at least I had enough COOL to tuck my turtleneck in and wear fake silver jewelry because it was all I could afford. And my massive plucked raised eyebrow is the stuff that dreams (and nightmares) are made of.” He concluded by stating, “Float on, kid.. you might just make it one day.”

      “Young Rock” is scheduled to make its premiere on NBC in February 2021. Coming from “Fresh Off the Boat” creator Nahnatchka Khan and co-executive producer Jeff Chiang, this series will chronicle Johnson’s formative years with Adrian Groulx, Bradley Constant and Uli Latukefu Johnson portraying The Rock in various stage of age.
      One day prior to the release of the promo, Johnson treated fans to several first looks at his upcoming series. One in particular had him explaining, “Here’s mini me hanging at our house with wrestling legend, THE JUNKYARD DOG played by @mrnatejackson. I was born into the wild, crazy and unpredictable world of pro wrestling.”

      “And as a little boy, to me – these guys were REAL superheroes,” the father-of-three went on recalling his younger years. “No capes. Just big, bad ass and fun dudes. Who always showed tough love. Can’t wait for you to watch this one!”

      Bravo Halts 'RHOBH' Filming of Season 11 Due to COVID-19

      by

      Bravo

      It has been reported that everyone, including the ladies, who is involved in the production of the reality show has been told to quarantine for 14 days, though no further details have been shared as of now.

      Nov 26, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Production of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” is reportedly shut down due to COVID-19. A source spilled on Wednesday, November 25 to HollywoodLife.com that while the network has yet to reveal who is the one who contracts the novel virus, “everyone thinks it’s a crew member.”
      The source further claimed that “the ladies and production were informed this morning.” The cast members, including Lisa Rinna, Erika Girardi, Kyle Richards, Garcelle Beauvais and Dorit Kemsley, reportedly last filmed for the upcoming season on Tuesday. “They filmed yesterday. Everyone’s been told to quarantine for 14 days and haven’t been told much else right now,” the source explained. “They have no idea when they’ll start up again. Everyone’s just waiting for more info.”
      “RHOBH” isn’t the first show in the “Real Housewives” franchise to be halted due to coronavirus. Earlier this month, it was reported that “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast members were forced to stop filming for season 14 after one of the crew members tested positive for COVID-19.

      “Everything is shut down right down,” sources said to theJasmineBRAND. “They’re pausing everything until everyone can be tested and quarantined. It’s a really scary situation because this affects more than just the cast, but their families as well.”
      Cast member Porsha Williams raised concerns among her fans after revealing her hospitalization. As she didn’t divulge her illness, fans suspected that she’s having COVID-19 considering the timing. “I’ll see you all next week God willing,” she shared her wish to get back to work, adding, “Biggest message I got from this week is to prioritize your health! You can’t just go and go. If you don’t God will sit you right in down and make you figure it out. Road to recovery…”
      The reality TV was allegedly rushed to the hospital after passing out in her home. That arrived after production on season 14 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” was put on hold because a crew member tested positive for the virus.

      'Animaniacs' Star Reacts to #BoycottWarnerBros Campaign Following Johnny Depp Joke

      by

      Prior to this, fans were attacking the show and Warner Bros. by trending the hashtag on social media after they perceived a movie poster as an apparent jab at the actor and his legal battle with Amber Heard.

      Nov 26, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Amid the huge backlash that “Animaniacs” reboot receives due to an apparent offensive joke about Johnny Depp, a star of the Hulu series has addressed the matter. In a new interview with CinemaBlend, Rob Paulsen, who voices Yakko Warner, has attempted to clear the air regarding a controversial poster of fictional movie “Johnny 2: Telling Lies”.
      “The truth about that is that there’s a poem, a children’s poem, a book called ‘Lying Johnny,’ or ‘Johny Johny’ or something like that, you can look it up,” Paulsen explained about the actual meaning of the poster, which fans thought was making fun of Johnny’s legal case with ex Amber Heard. “And remember, this was done a couple of years ago.”
      He went on saying, “And by the way, this is a background that is involved in one of the episodes. And frankly, I’m not sure which one because I don’t draw them and I don’t write them.”

        See also…

      Paulsen also shared that he personally researched the joke because he’s been getting heat himself following the controversial part in the episode. ” ‘Mr. Paulsen, how could you?’ ‘How could I what? What did I do?’ ‘Well, Johnny Depp and you know, he’s being mistreated.’ I don’t know what people are talking about,” he revealed. “So I did a little research. Well, check out ‘Johny Johny.’ And you know, and if you see earlier in that background shot, there’s a baby eating sugar, and that’s part of the children’s rhyme.”
      Prior to this, fans were attacking the show and Warner Bros. by trending #BoycottWarnerBrothers on social media after they perceived the movie poster as a jab at the “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” star. The said poster for a fake movie titled “Johnny 2: Telling Lies” featured the actor holding a pair of scissors, which was seemingly an “Edward Scissorhands” reference.
      Accusing them of portraying the actor in a bad light, one fan wrote, “Warner Brothers: this is a sick thing to do to an abuse survivor. Listen to the tapes – Johnny Depp has been put through psychological torture and physical abuse. I’m sorry that I don’t find this funny, but it’s no laughing matter.” One other added, “As much as I liked the new Animaniacs, I can not in good conscience bring myself to support this show or Warner Brothers. It is absolutely sickening to see them use a cartoon to make fun of an Abuse victim while wholeheartedly defending the culprit.”
      “WTF! This is absolutely disgusting… Way to go a ruin the new Animaniac’s show for me… #BoycottWarnerBrothers,” another fan similarly commented.

      Prince Charles Disables Twitter Replies Due to Trolling Comments From 'The Crown' Fans

      by

      WENN/Avalon

      The alteration apparently is a move to avoid hateful comments which the British royal couple has been flooded with as someone shows disapproval of Duchess Camilla, writing, ‘#TeamPrincessDiana #DianaStill.’

      Nov 26, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Prince Charles seemingly has had enough with the trollings from fans of Netflix’s royal series “The Crown”. The Duke of Cornwall and wife Duchess Camilla have turned off the comments section of their joint account following tons of hate messages they have been receiving from fans of the hit drama, which centered on Prince Charless and late Lady Diana in current season 4.
      Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla recently shared a tweet about their charity event. “The Duchess of Cornwall, Patron of @EmmausUK, recently joined a video call with staff and formerly homeless residents of @EmmausBrighton, known as companions, to discuss the challenges faced by the charity as a result of the coronavirus crisis,” read the Tuesday, November 24 tweet that only allowed users whom the Clarence House account follows to be able to reply to the post.
      The alteration apparently is a move to avoid hateful comments which the British royal couple has been flooded with. “The true princess of wales, always Diana, Camilla, the eternal lover, the greatness of Diana will be eternal, no one will be able to take her place, Charles of England will never be King and neither deserves it .., Diana Princess of Wales will live forever,” one user tweeted on November 22. Showing disapproval of Duchess Camilla, someone added, “#TeamPrincessDiana #DianaStill.”

      In season 4 of “The Crown”, Prince Charles (Josh O’Connor) was depicted miserable after seemingly being forced to marry Lady Diana (Emma Corrin) while he was actually in love with Camilla, who was also married at the time. “I care about her. Morning, noon and night, I care about her. … Camilla is who I want. That is where my loyalties lie. That is who my priority is,” he told Diana in one episode.
      “I refuse to be blamed any longer for this grotesque misalliance. I wash my hands of it. If you have a complaint about not being loved or appreciated in this marriage, I suggest you take it up with the people who arranged it,” he added.
      In an interview with TVLine, Josh described his character as “a man desperately trying to get out of this mess.” He went on to say of Charles and Diana, “These are two very lost souls … They both needed something they couldnt give each other, and it didn’t work.”
