    During his appearance on Nova 96.9’s ‘Fitzy and Wippa’, Luke Zocci, the personal trainer of the ‘Avengers: Endgame’ star, reveals someone from the Australian iteration of the ABC franchise has approached him.

    Nov 7, 2020
    AceShowbiz – It seems like Chris Hemsworth is not a fan of “The Bachelor”. Luke Zocci, the personal trainer of the “Avengers: Endgame” star, reveals in a new interview that the actor was totally not happy upon knowing that he was offered to join “The Bachelor”.
    During his appearance on Nova 96.9’s “Fitzy & Wippa”, Luke revealed someone from the Australian iteration of the ABC franchise approached him. When he asked Chris for approval, however, it didn’t go as he wished.
    “I actually did get it, but I said no,” Luke said of the offer. “I actually said it [to Chris] as a joke and he said, ‘If you go on ‘The Bachelor’, I will fire you!’ ”

    Indeed, Luke didn’t seem to have to go to the show to find love. The 37-year-old fitness guru said he’s dating someone for the first time in 13 years. “I have finally gone and got myself a girlfriend. It took a pandemic! She’s a Swedish backpacker,” Luke said.
    As for Chris, the Thor depicter is still happily married to wife Elsa Pataky. The “Fast Five” actress, however, recently opened up that their marriage isn’t always beautiful. “It’s funny that people think of us as a perfect couple,” she explained back in August. “No way. It’s been ups and downs, and we still keep working at the relationship.”
    Just like other celebrity couples, the 37-year-old actor and the 44-year-old star celebrated this year’s Halloween with fun costumes. Chris channeled his inner Western movie star, wearing a Clint Eastwood-inspired ensemble. Meanwhile, his lady love transformed into Harley Quinn for a day.
    Their kids, daughter India Rose and six-year-old twin boys Sasha and Tristan, also dressed up for the spooky holiday. They morphed into terrifying wolf and bloodied clowns, while Chris’ brother Luke Hemsworth came as Joe Exotic.

    Stephen Colbert Chokes Up as He Accuses Donald Trump of Trying to Poison U.S. Democracy

    CBS

    The host of CBS’ late-night talk show ‘dresses up for funeral’ as he accuses POTUS of trying to kill American democracy following the latter’s claims about voting fraud amid election.

    Nov 7, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Stephen Colbert blasted Donald Trump following his speech about voting fraud and attempts to “steal” the election.
    The U.S. late night host slammed the president during his impassioned monologue on Thursday (06Nov20), noting that he was “dressed for a funeral” and was heartbroken by Trump’s remarks.
    “We’re taping this just a little while after Donald Trump walked into the White House briefing room actually and tried to poison American democracy,” Colbert said, dressed in all black. “Around seven o’clock the president came out into the briefing room and lied for 15 minutes, just nonsensical stuff about illegal vote dumps and corrupt election officials and secret Democratic counting cabals… And if you didn’t know that Joe Biden was getting close to 270, Donald Trump just provided you all the proof you will ever need.”
    Colbert went on to admit he predicted this behaviour from the president, admitting, “We all knew he would do this. What I didn’t know is that it would hurt so much. I didn’t expect this to break my heart. For him to cast a dark shadow on our most sacred right, from the briefing room in the White House ‒ our House, not his – that is devastating.”

    “This is heartbreaking for the same reason that I didn’t want him to get Covid – certainly why I wanted him to survive. Because he is the President of the United States. That office means something and that office should have some shred of decency.”
    Colbert went on to accuse Trump of leaving a “stain” on the Oval Office – “and not just from his butt bronzer” – before calling on Republicans to reject the POTUS’ accusations.

    “Right now something unpredictable needs to happen. Republicans have to speak up. All of them,” the host said. “You only survived this up til now because a lot of voters didn’t want to believe everything that was obvious to so many of us: that Donald Trump is a fascist. And when it comes to democracy versus fascism, I’m sorry, there are not fine people on both sides so you need to choose Donald Trump or the American people. This is the time to get off the Donald Trump train.”

    Andy Cohen Plans to Revive 'The Real Housewives of Miami'

    WENN/Avalon

    In other news, the ‘Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen’ host angers people online for defending former Sen. Claire McCaskill for using a controversial term for transgender people.

    Nov 6, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Andy Cohen is planning to bring “The Real Housewives of Miami” back. The Bravo executive producer revealed in the Thursday, November 4 episode of the “Everything Iconic” podcast that he’s been eyeing Peacock as a new home for the fourth season of the reality series.
    “I have really been trying to get Peacock to pick up ‘Miami’,” the “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” host said. “I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this. I don’t know where we are with that. I have to say the fans of ‘Miami’ are still very vocal, and so I’ve been an advocate for Peacock bringing back ‘Miami’.”
    When asked about the reason why the series wasn’t as successful as other “Housewives” series, Andy shared that cast member Elsa Patton’s health issues affected “RHOM”. “I think ‘Miami’ as it was on Bravo really suffered from Mama Elsa not being around in season 3,” Andy said of Elsa, who died in May 2019 at the age of 84.
    “She was very sick. I think she was a more important part of that show than people realized. The problem with the third season was that the ratings were declining as it went on and they went down for the reunion, which is usually the opposite of what happens. I think that went into the decision to not pick it up,” he went on saying.

    In other news, Andy angered people online for defending former Sen. Claire McCaskill for using a controversial term for transgender people. She used the word “transsexuals” instead of “transgender” during an MSNBC interview on Wednesday, earning her backlash.
    In response to the criticism, Claire offered a public apology by writing on Twitter, “I’m so sorry I used hurtful term last night.I was tired,but never a good excuse.People have misinterpreted what I was trying to say.Our party should never leave behind our fight 4 equality for trans people or anyone else who has been marginalized by hate. My record reflects that.”

    Andy Cohen slammed for defending ormer Sen. Claire McCaskill.
    Andy caught wind of the tweet and offered support. “You misspoke. Don’t think twice about it,” he replied. Fans quickly attacked the TV personality as one wrote to him, “Go screw yourself, @Andy. Who tf do you think YOU are to tell her it’s all ok that she s**t on trans people?” Another person wrote, “Don’t forgive her on behalf of someone else. That’s not your place.”

    'KUWTK': Kendall and Kylie Jenner Reconcile After Not Speaking for a Month Following Big Fight

    Instagram

    That prompts Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian to try to get one of the siblings to reach out to the other following their huge fight during a family getaway that started after Kylie refused to drive Kendall home.

    Nov 6, 2020
    AceShowbiz – It was apparently not easy for both Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner to get back to normal after they were involved in a huge fight earlier this year in Palm Springs. In the Thursday, November 5 episode of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”, it was revealed that the two sisters weren’t speaking to each other for a month after the fight.
    That prompted Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian to try to get one of them to reach out to the other. “Hearing from Kendall that her and Kylie still aren’t speaking to one another makes me really sad, because we just don’t operate like that,” Khloe said in a confessional. “[Kourtney Kardashian] and [Kim Kardashian] were vicious lions to one another and then they go to Armenia a couple days later.”
    Kylie, meanwhile, shared a picture of her with Kendall on Instagram and the latter responded with a comment. “Aren’t we fighting?” Kendall wrote, to which her sister replied, “Yes but my titties are sitting nice in this pic.” Kendall told Khloe that it was their first interaction after the fight.
    “I get upset any time my kids are fighting, so the fact that Kendall and Kylie are still not speaking to each other and it’s been a month now, and they’re posting about it on Instagram — it’s very, very upsetting,” Kris admitted. She then called Kylie, asking her to check on Kendall who was all alone amid the COVID-19 lockdown. “You should just check in on her, she’s the only one who doesn’t have kids and I feel like she’s alone a lot. I just worry about her,” Kris said.

    It was eventually Kendall who called Kylie after she read a book about putting aside their pride. She explained, “Before Kylie and I got in a fight, she showed me this really good book and there was a whole paragraph on pride and how pride is just an extension of fear. And it just reminded me so much of my argument with my sister, just ’cause we both are alpha and tough girls.”
    “We still haven’t spoken and there have been moments where I’m like, I should just be the bigger person and reach out, but then there’s also moments where I’m like, no, she needs to pick up the phone and call me,” she continued. Kylie didn’t pick up then phone but then called her back. Answering the call, Kendall said to Kylie, “Long time no see.”
    Kylie told Kendall that things “just got completely out of control, and I just feel like I was just confused on my part because we never spoke about me taking you home until it was the very last minute, so I think it was just like, miscommunication.” She told her sister that she didn’t intend to hurt her.
    “Sisters are sisters. We can fight all we want and say crazy things to each other but at the end of the day, we’re family and we love each other so much,” Kendall shared in a confessional. “She is my partner in crime, always has been my entire life, and that will never change. So her not being in my life for a month and a half was not ideal because I love talking to her.”
    Kendall and Kylie had a wild fight after the latter refused to drive Kendall home after a family getaway in Palm Springs. When Kris’ boyfriend Corey Gamble suggested them to call another car for Kendall as they stopped at a gas station, the latter exploded and said, “Corey, I’m not getting in a f***ing random SUV by myself.” After a shouting match, Kylie and Corey ditched Kendall alone at a gas station. Her other sisters and mom Kris then fetched her, who was sobbing as she got into the car.

    'Bachelorette' Recap: Dale Moss Proposes to Clare Crawley, New Bachelorette Steps In

    ABC

    Clare and Dale’s whirlwind romance, however, doesn’t sit well with other suitors as one of them demands that the leading lady of the show apologizes to them for wasting their time and faking her interest.

    Nov 6, 2020
    AceShowbiz – After being delayed for a few days due to presidential election, a new episode of “The Bachelorette” arrived on Thursday, November 5. The episode kicked off with the men complaining because Clare Crawley decided not to give anyone the rose at the group date because she didn’t think she spent enough time with them during the date.
    The whole situation prompted host Chris Harrison to visit Clare in her room because he thought they needed a serious talk because the men were not happy over Clare’s obvious interest towards Dale. Claire admitted to Chris that she was head over heels for Dale, though she wanted to respect the process. She also denied talking to Dale before the show.
    Later, Chris met the men to announce that there wouldn’t be a cocktail party and a rose ceremony that night. He then pulled Dale out, telling him that the cancellation was because Clare wanted to spend more time with him tonight.
    Meanwhile, Clare was all dressed up as she waited for Dale. She was really nervous, thinking there was always possibility that Dale didn’t reciprocate her feelings. The two then met to have dinner and Dale told her that he wanted to know more about Clare as well as her parents. They professed their love to each other and kissed.
    Following the dinner, the pair went back to Clare’s room and got comfy on the bed. The filming stopped as the two had a steamy makeout session. The next morning saw Dale shirtless as they were in bed together. In a confessional, Clare said, “I could most definitely, GLADLY spend the rest of my life with Dale. I didn’t expect a lot of things to happen this quickly.”
    She then gushed over the “priceless” time she spent with Dale, telling Chris that Dale was “even better than I expected” when the cameras off. “It’s unbelievable to me, and it’s surreal. He’s exactly what I’m looking for, and I would be so honored to be with this guy for the rest of my life, easily. And I don’t even hesitate on that,” she said. Chris told her that she broke records in the show’s history and there would be proposal that night.
    It was time for Clare to tell other men about what happened between her and Dale. “This is so hard for me, because you guys are all such amazing guys,” she said. “Essentially, when I came here, I was so ready and open and willing to like, find the love of my life, and what I came here for, I think I found. And it’s with Dale. I know each and every one of you have so much to offer… I’m a woman who knows what I want, and I’m going for it.”

    She went on to say, “I just have so much respect for you guys that I would never, ever want to lead any of you on, and I hope you guys know it doesn’t devalue any of the conversations or any of the energy I had with you guys. I hope that what I found in Dale, I sincerely want the same for you guys.”
    The men were unsurprisingly baffled with Blake showing his concern about how fast she fell in love which might hurt her later. Meanwhile, Kenny demanded an apology from Claire who replied, “I’m not going to apologize for love.”
    “I just feel like a lot of time was wasted… I could tell your head wasn’t there,” he hit back. “So, you should apologize for faking it, when you should have admitted you were in love with Dale after the first night, because that’s what it looks like.” As she broke down, Clare eventually apologized for wasting everyone’s time and hurting them, though she insisted that she wouldn’t apologize for love.
    After calling Neil Lane for a ring, Chris told Dale that he had to propose to Clare because she broke up with the other guys. Later, Dale could be seen contemplating whether he would propose to Clare or not because they just met for two days.
    The most-anticipated moment was finally here. Clare was afraid that Dale wasn’t on the same page with her when it came to proposal. However, it seemed like she shouldn’t have been worried because Dale got on one knee and asked, “Clare, will you marry me?” Clare obviously accepted it and gave Dale her final rose.
    Later, viewers were offered a glimpse at the first look at Tayshia Adams who will take over “The Bachelorette” from Clare. Following the episode, Chris also shared on his social media accounts a new poster, teasing “a new journey” with Taysha.

    “The Bachelorette” airs on Tuesdays on ABC.

    John Stamos Forced to Sign NDA With 'Masked Singer' After Squiggly Monster Leaks His Own Identity

    WENN/FOX

    The ‘Full House’ actor has to sign a non-disclosure agreement with ‘The Masked Singer’ even though he’s not on the singing competition after one of the contestants couldn’t keep the secret.

    Nov 6, 2020
    AceShowbiz – John Stamos was forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement to avoid spilling the identity of the celebrity behind the Squiggly Monster costume on U.S. reality show “The Masked Singer”.
    The contestant was eliminated from the singing competition’s season four on Wednesday (04Nov20), when it was revealed comedian Bob Saget was the man in the wacky disguise.
    All participants are required to keep the news of their involvement in the show under wraps, but Saget couldn’t help but share the secret with his best friend and “Full House” co-star Stamos – so the actor had to sign a legally-binding contract with show producers to prevent the news leaking before his big reveal.
    “John Stamos had to sign an NDA, as did my wife and one of my daughters…,” Saget told TheWrap of the loved ones who were let in on the singing secret.
    “He was like, ‘How’s it going? Are you having fun?’ Because he’s like a brother to me and cares.”

      See also…

    However, Saget didn’t tell his TV daughter, actress Candace Cameron Bure – even when she quizzed him about her hunch.
    “After the show last week, I was sent a video by Candace and Marilu Henner in the background, and she’s screaming, ‘Are you Squiggly Monster?! That’s you! I know your voice! I know your movements! You’re Squiggly Monster.’ ”
    “And I answered her, I said, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m very flattered and love you.’ But she knew. She was like, freaking out, because she loves the show because it’s a show you can watch with your whole family.”
    The popular series features celebrities belting out songs while dressed up in elaborate disguises, with judges Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke rating their performances as they try to guess who is behind the mask.
    The least favourite is booted from the show at the end of each episode, when they take off their costumes to reveal their identities.
    Other stars kicked off the current season of “The Masked Singer” so far include rapper Busta Rhymes and actors Mickey Rourke and Brian Austin Green.
