    Candace Cameron Bure Gets Real About Why She Turned Down Offer for Family Reality Show

    WENN/FayesVision

    When explaining her reason for saying no to the show pitch, the ‘Fuller House’ star confesses that she has never even been approached for the ‘Real Housewives’ franchise.

    Nov 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “Fuller House” star Candace Cameron Bure and her family were pitched their own reality TV show.
    The 44-year-old actress tells Us Weekly she was approached about a series but turned down the offer because she thinks her relatives aren’t “interesting enough” to attract an audience.
    “I think we’re pretty boring,” she says, adding, “It just wasn’t something that works for us.”

    Candace, however, admitted that they did get an offer in the past, though it didn’t work. “We were approached for reality [TV], but a long time ago and it just wasn’t something that works for us,” she shared.
    She went on nixing the idea of joining the “Real Housewives” franchise, one of today’s most popular reality series franchises airing on Bravo. She said, “I’ve never been approached for Housewives (TV franchise ‘Real Housewives’) …, nor have I ever seen a Housewives show. (I) don’t think that one’s for me.”
    Candace and her husband Valeri Bure share three children – Natasha, 22, Lev, 20, and Maksim, 18 – and have been married for 24 years. The family has been spending time together at home amid the coronavirus pandemic.
    “It totally tested us, but in the best of ways,” the “Dancing Through Life” author confessed, but added that the situation eventually made them closer. “I’ll be honest because we try. We both travel so much. So we were like, ‘This might be the most amount of time we’ve actually spent together in years. This is either going to make us or break us.’ And you know what? It’s made us.”

    'RHOP': Ashley Darby Gets Emotional as She Misses Son During Cast Trip to Portugal

    Instagram

    During the trip to Madeira, the new mom is joined by fellow cast members Gizelle Bryant, Robyn Dixon, Dr. Wendy Osefo, Karen Huger and Candiace Dillard, while Monique Samuels isn’t invited.

    Nov 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – New mom Ashley Darby couldn’t stay being apart from her son Dean and husband Michael Darby for too long. In the Sunday, November 8 episode of “The Real Housewives of Potomac”, she could be seen getting emotional during a cast trip to Portugal. She claimed that she felt anxious leaving Dean behind for the first time.
    She asked her close friend Eve to help take care of Dean during the day so that Michael could put their son to bed after he came home from work. However, Dean wasn’t the only reason she was nervous. Prior to this, Michael admitted to visiting a strip club and doing something he “regrets” when Ashley left him alone with their baby.
    “Dean and I are going to spend a lot of time together,” Michael said in the new episode. Ashley then asked, “Are you going to behave while I’m gone?” to which Michael responded, “Absolutely.”
    “One of the things you mentioned was that sometimes you just need to talk and get it out before you make a decision that you don’t want to make, so you can call me,” she told Michael.
    During the trip to Madeira, Ashley was joined by fellow cast members Gizelle Bryant, Robyn Dixon, Dr. Wendy Osefo, Karen Huger and Candiace Dillard. Ashley didn’t invite Monique Samuels following her brutal physical altercation with Candiace back in November 2019. They had dinner after they arrived and the drama started immediately with Wendy and Karen’s beef.

    Later in the episode, Gizelle asked Ashley about her relationship with her husband. “I’m finally starting to feel better. I’m officially 100 percent back in my marriage,” Ashley told the ladies. Gizelle then replied, “One hundred percent? That was like, in a month you went from 60, 40 to 100.”
    “There were a lot of things we hadn’t talked about,” Ashley admitted, though she claimed that she wasn’t bothered if something happened when she was away. “I’m more understanding about the circumstances,” Ashley said, adding, “I wasn’t being the supportive wife that I had been.”
    Robyn then chimed in, “I want you to stop taking responsibility and putting the weight on you being a new mother, and trying to navigate that. He needs to support you because this is something new that you’re going through.” The 41-year-old, who has history when it comes to dealing with infidelity, urged Ashley to hold her husband “accountable” for his actions.
    “I didn’t have the energy to care about what my husband was doing, and I’m getting that from Ashley. But she’s got to hold him accountable,” she explained in a confessional.
    Ashley then called Eve, who told her that Michael hadn’t come home yet. When she called him, Michael told Ashley that he was in a meeting. She told him that she needed to at least tell Eve if he was going to be a little bit late.
    It didn’t sit well with Michael who responded, “I can’t do this. I’ll call you when I get home. … I can’t be molested like this. This is crazy.” That prompted Ashley to cry on her bed. “I just want to go home. I miss my kid,” she said. Despite the rough night, the couple was able to resolve the issue.

    Alec Baldwin 'Overjoyed' to Stop Playing Donald Trump

    NBC/Will Heath

    The 62-year-old ‘The Boss Baby: Family Business’ star also shares a black-and-white picture of him as the defeated presidential candidate who brings a paper sign with ‘You’re Welcome!!!’ written on it.

    Nov 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Most people were rejoicing when Joe Biden was declared as the new president of the United States, dethroning Donald Trump. Alec Baldwin was among those people, but he had another reason why he was “overjoyed” following the announcement of the results of November 3 presidential election.
    On Saturday, November 7, the “The Boss Baby: Family Business” actor tweeted, “I don’t believe I’ve ever been this overjoyed to lose a job before!” Alec was referring to his role as POTUS on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live”. With Donald’s defeat, he doesn’t have to impersonate the businessman-turned-to-president, whom Alec openly dislikes, again.

    Alec Baldwin was ‘overjoyed’ to stop playing Donald Trump on ‘SNL’.
    In another tweet, the 62-year-old star shared a black-and-white picture of him as Donald, who brought a paper sign with “You’re Welcome!!!” written on it. “It’s been fun,” Alec simply captioned the snap.

    The actor shaded Donald on Twitter.
    He went on shading Donald in a follow-up tweet. “It will be comforting when we have a President who doesn’t Tweet twice as much as I do … They’re gonna need an enormous shipment of tissues sent to Mar-a-Lago … On to my next wish. That everyone who voted in this election maintains that commitment and votes in the 2022 midterm elections. Let’s keep this going!!!” he said.
    The election outcome was called by major media outlets on Saturday, just hours before a new episode of “SNL” featuring Alec’s Donald aired. “As anyone who died halfway through Tuesday knows, I was re-elected president of the United States,” he said.
    Meanwhile, “SNL” cast member Gary Kroeger talked about Alec’s long-running performance in the episode, which was hosted by Dave Chappelle. “I won’t miss Baldwin’s Trump at all,” Gary said. “That doesn’t mean I didn’t like it, I did, and still do, but there hasn’t been a new twist on his characterization in a couple of years. How could there be? It was done to death.”
    Alec snagged a Primetime Emmy award in 2017 for the role.

But never forget, we’re a charge of light striking through that despairing rain,” she continued as she knelt on the floor before it was revealed the unseen recipient of the speech was actually her cute pug dog dressed in a Tudor ruff.

    Dave Chappelle Slams White People for Refusing to Wear Masks in 'SNL' Monologue

    NBC

    The funnyman kicks off ‘Saturday Night Live’ by taking a dig at ‘white’ people for refusing to wear masks amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic because it’s ‘oppressive.’

    Nov 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Funnyman Dave Chappelle has hit out at Donald Trump’s white supporters who don’t wear masks during the coronavirus pandemic.
    While hosting “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) this weekend (07Nov20), the comedian fired at complaints that face masks are “oppressive” while giving them a lesson in Black history.
    “You don’t even want to wear your mask because it’s oppressive? Try wearing the mask I’ve been wearing all these years!” Dave said. “I can’t even tell something true unless it has a punchline behind it. You guys aren’t ready. You’re not ready for this. You don’t know how to survive yourselves.”
    “In fact, we’re the only ones that know how to survive this,” he continued, adding, “Whites come, hurry, quick, come get your n***a lessons.”

    Elsewhere in the show, Alec Baldwin reprised his famed imitation of U.S. leader Donald Trump to imagine his concession speech after Democratic nominee Joe Biden beat him to become the 46th POTUS.
    As Trump, Alec started off his speech by claiming that he was re-elected as president, saying, “As anyone who died halfway through Tuesday knows, I was re-elected president of the United States.”
    During the skit, he pointed to a map of the U.S. and boasted about how red the states were – only to realise it was a Covid map and not representative of his Republican party.
    [embedded content]
    He then chanted, “Stop the count!” until he was told off-screen that he was actually behind, to which he started chanting, “Count every vote.”

    Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders Forced to Close TV Company After Almost Three Decades

    WENN

    The Saunders and French Productions are closing their operations after filing for voluntary liquidation, nearly three decades after the firm was founded by the actress duo in 1992.

    Nov 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – U.K. comedy legends Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders are shuttering their shared TV production firm after almost three decades.
    The double act launched Saunders & French Productions in 1992 after finding fame with their “French and Saunders” sketch show in the late 1980s, and the funny duo’s company bosses went on to co-produce the hit series “Absolutely Fabulous”.
    However, according to Deadline, the partners have filed for voluntary liquidation, with an insolvency company appointed to wind down the organisation’s operations.
    A notice to creditors states that the closure is a solvent liquidation, meaning all creditors should be paid in full.

    The firm’s latest financial reports, dating from July, 2019, reveal $369,852 (£281,622) in capital and debts of only $3,228 (£2,461).
    Recent ventures have included a 2016 “Absolutely Fabulous” movie and a special episode of “French and Saunders”, released the following year.
    The closure of Saunders & French Productions won’t see the end of their working relationship, however, with both stars set to appear in Kenneth Branagh’s new murder-mystery movie “Death on the Nile”.
    The “Murder on the Orient Express” sequel, along with Shawn Levy’s action-comedy “Free Guy” starring Ryan Reynolds, was recently delayed amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The two films were initially due to come out on 11 and 18 December (20), respectively, but studio bosses have opted to postpone the planned theatrical releases as the Covid-19 crisis continues to impact cinema audiences.

    Nicole Kidman Credits Long Friendship With Hugh Grant for Helping Onscreen Chemistry

    HBO

    The ‘Bombshell’ actress explains how she built chemistry with her onscreen husband for new TV show ‘The Undoing’ despite having never worked together before.

    Nov 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Nicole Kidman’s long friendship with Hugh Grant helped them play a married couple in their new show “The Undoing” – despite having never worked together before.
    In the thrilling HBO miniseries Nicole plays psychologist Grace Fraser whose world falls apart when her husband, Jonathan, played by Hugh, is linked to the death of a parent at their children’s private school.
    Despite their lack of screentime together, “The Others” star said they hardly had to act when playing a married couple due to a longtime friendship that led to them behaving like husband and wife.

    “We’ve known each other since our early 20s,” Nicole tells U.K. chat show host Graham Norton. “We’re friends and our paths have crossed, so it was very apropos to be playing a husband and wife that have been married for 10 years because we sort of have that demeanour together.”
    Although they’re pals, however, the Aussie actress believed she had missed out on the chance to work with the “Four Weddings and a Funeral” star as he has picked his projects selectively for a number of years.
    “I’ve always wanted to work with him, and I have always been a big fan,” she adds. “When the director suggested him, I thought he would never do it because he is famous for not wanting to work. He says he doesn’t like working but he is so good when he does – he is amazing.”
    Nicole’s interview airs on Friday’s (06Nov20) episode of “The Graham Norton Show”.

    Emma Corrin Struggled to Learn Ballet at 24 to Prepare for Her Role as Princess Diana in 'The Crown'

    Netflix

    The ‘Pennyworth’ actress opens up about the biggest challenge when it comes to portraying Lady Diana Spencer in the upcoming fourth installment of the Netflix royal drama series.

    Nov 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Emma Corrin’s biggest challenge in her portrayal of Princess Diana came during the dancing scenes.
    The actress, 24, debuts on the fourth season of “The Crown”, which hits Netflix on 15 November (20), with the latest instalment documenting Prince Charles’ romance with Lady Diana Spencer.
    Speaking to MailOnline, Corrin confessed that learning her steps for Diana’s favourite past time didn’t come easy, admitting, “I definitely could not dance!”
    “Diana’s love of dance was how she expressed herself emotionally, I think,” shared the star, who went on to note that, for her, picking up the routines was frustrating.

    “There was a running joke at school that I danced like a spider because my limbs are too long,” she said, adding, “It’s hard to learn ballet when you’re 24! I really held on to the fact that Diana wasn’t a professional dancer.”
    Corrin’s admissions come after it was reported by The Sun that the show will air a warning to viewers before episodes covering Diana’s battle with bulimia.
    “The following episode includes scenes of an eating disorder which some viewers may find troubling. Viewers discretion is required,” says the notice, ahead of moments showing the late royal gorging on puddings before going into the bathroom and turning on taps to mask the sound of her being sick.
    The life and legacy of Lady Diana will also be narrated in a biopic called “Spencer”. She will be played by Kristen Stewart in the movie.
    The American actress recently admitted she struggled to master Diana’s English lilt. “The accent is intimidating as all hell because people know that voice, and it’s so, so distinct and particular,” she said. “I’m working on it now and already have my dialect coach.”
