    'RHOP': Dr. Wendy Osefo Calls Out Karen Huger Over Her 'Constant Jabs'

    Instagram

    The doctor decides to confront her ‘The Real Housewives of Potomac’ co-star when they and other Housewives are invited to do a photoshoot for Robyn Dixon’s hat line, Embellished.

    Nov 2, 2020
    AceShowbiz – In the Sunday, November 1 episode of “The Real Housewives of Potomac”, a new feud erupted. After Monique Samuels and Candiace Dillard’s drama, it was fellow cast members Dr. Wendy Osefo and Karen Huger who were involved in a heated argument.
    The episode kicked off with Gizelle Bryant asking Karen about her marital problems with her husband Ray after Wendy told her and Robyn Dixon in last week’s episode that Karen appeared to resent Ray for using her own money to get him out of tax trouble. When Gizelle told Karen that Wendy made it sound that the whole thing drove her “stressful” because she “wanted the money back from [Ray],” Karen quickly denied.
    “That’s a reach…you’re saying Wendy said that?” she asked Gizelle. Later in a confessional, Karen slammed Wendy for saying such things to others. “Ray and I are going through a lot and for Wendy to take that information that I shared with her back to Gizelle and make it gossip and make fun of it is not cool. It’s not alright,” Karen shared.
    Although Karen told Gizelle and Robyn that she and Wendy “were going to be fine,” she proceeded to question the latter’s career and also imitate her walk. “I don’t know anything about blackouts or fits of anger,” Karen said, referring to Monique, who said she “blacked out” during her physical fight with Candiace. “This is medical … She says she’s a doctor … she’s not a medical doctor and she was speaking authoritatively to me.”

    Meanwhile, Wendy responded to being called “ignorant” by Karen for trying to make the latter hold Monique accountable for her fight with Candiace. “I am tired of Karen’s constant jabs, and I’m not ignorant,” she said in a confessional in the episode. “For me to even get these degrees, it was a struggle. I got two of these degrees while pregnant. I lost my dad while getting my doctorate and even through all those struggles, I never quit.”
    Wendy then confronted Karen when they and other Housewives were invited to do a photoshoot for Robyn’s hat line, Embellished. “Karen, I spoke to Robyn and Gizelle. I find it odd that you were talking about me being a doctor and mimicking me, and you don’t even have one degree and I have four,” she said. “I am not one to brag about my degrees, [but] less than two percent of [people in] the world have [a PhD]. You always talk about uplifting women, well, goddammit, it’s an accomplishment to have a PhD. You should be uplifting it.”
    In response to that, Karen replied, “Let’s be very clear, you and I, each time we have an issue, it’s based on an interpretation of what I said to someone. It’s always taken out of context and said with a hint of funk to it. Understand that I understand the power of education. I come from an extremely educated family and even though I don’t have a degree.” She added, “I’m one of those people that succeed [without a degree]. There’s a lot of people in this country that do not have degrees.”
    Karen revealed in another confessional interview that she was more upset with Gizelle for “twisting” her words. “I think Gizelle twisting my words is an indicator that something’s not right in her personal relationship with Jamal,” she said. “Anytime she starts twisting her words, it tells me her s**t is not right. I’m going to forgive Wendy and I’m going to look straight at Gizelle and say, ‘What’s going on in your life?’ ”
    During the photoshoot, Karen also denied questioning Wendy’s career, though she admitted to doing an impersonation of her. She then showed everyone how exactly she “mimicked” Wendy, prompting Wendy and others to laugh it off.

    Tamar Braxton's Sisters Defend Themselves for Addressing Her Suicide Attempt on TV Show

    WENN

    Traci, Trina, and Towanda Braxton sit down for an interview to talk about their younger sister Tamar’s angry reaction to the ‘Braxton Family Values’ trailer.

    Nov 2, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The Braxton sisters responded after Tamar Braxton was upset by the trailer of the family reality TV show “Braxton Family Values” for addressing her suicide attempt. Older sisters Traci, Trina, and Towanda Braxton defended themselves as they talked to Claudia Jordan on Fox Soul’s “Out Loud”.
    They began by revealing that they found out about Tamar’s hospitalization via social media. Trina said she was disappointed, “For someone else to tell me the story of something that happened to my own family is very disheartening and as family member.”
    Without mentioning Tamar’s former boyfriend David Adefeso who was with her when she was rushed to hospital, Trina continued, “I would not have allowed that 911 call to happen the way that it did.” She continued, “Things would have gone differently had we known at the time it happened.”

    She went on to address Tamar’s angry comments after the trailer was released. “During season 7 of Braxton Family Values, we do not talk about Tamar’s physical or mental health,” she said. “We talk about how it affected us. But we do not physically address Tamar’s hurt, pain, or experience. We can’t speak to that. Tamar has her own story to tell and it’s very important for Tamar to tell her story in her way whenever she decides to tell it.”
    Towanda described it as a “damn if you do, damn if you don’t” situation. “If we didn’t say anything, we’re insensitive,” she claimed. The show “definitely touched on how we experienced it and how we felt when we found out about it,” she added, “And I don’t think anything’s wrong with that.”

    Trina additionally said it’s “completely unfair and unwarranted” to attack them as a family. She explained, “We did not make that 911 call. We did not say anything to the media in regards to Tamara’s situation. We did not openly say anything about what’s happening with Tamar’s situation, except for the fact that we love her and we’re for her and we’re in her corner, and yet we’re the ones being ostracized when we’re not the ones putting things openly in the media.”

    Benanti, who is best known for her Broadway career and has also worked on TV shows like “Supergirl”, “Younger”, and “Nashville”, is joining the ensemble cast, though little is known about her character, reported Deadline.
    The new “Gossip Girl” series is set to feature fashion blogger-turned-actress Tavi Gevinson, Thomas Doherty, Adam Chanler-Berat, and Zion Moreno.
    Joshua Safran will serve as showrunner after previously executive producing the original show, which ran from 2007 to 2012 and turned Blake Lively, Penn Badgley, Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick, and Leighton Meester into stars.

    The popular teen drama was set to premiere this autumn (20) but, as cameras had yet to start rolling on the project prior to the pandemic, it has been pushed to 2021.
    The upcoming project is also expected to feature “Code Black” actress Emily Alyn Lind, “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” star Whitney Peak, Eli Brown, and Broadway actor Jason Gotay.
    The only original star confirmed to return for the remake is Kristen Bell. The “Frozen” star lent her voice to the hit teen drama from 2007 to 2012, and now she will return to the franchise to help tell the stories of a new generation of New York City-based private school teens.
    The “Gossip Girl” revamp will be set eight years after the events of the previous six-season run, which was based on Cecily von Ziegesar’s young adult novels.

    Jodie Turner-Smith to Play Queen of England in New Tudor TV Series

    WENN

    The ‘Queen and Slim’ actress has been officially announced to portray the ill-fated Anne Boleyn in a television psychological thriller about the British monarch.

    Nov 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – British actress Jodie Turner-Smith is to play Anne Boleyn in a groundbreaking new TV series about British monarch Henry VIII’s second wife.
    The “Queen & Slim” star, who is of Jamaican heritage, will play Anne in the new three-part psychological thriller, which will air on U.K. network Channel 5, according to Deadline.
    With the working title “Anne Boleyn”, the show will reportedly follow her downfall from Henry’s much loved Queen to her beheading, and shine a feminist light on the brutal reality of a patriarchal Tudor society.
    It will also examine how her failure to give Henry a male heir affected her standing and her battle to secure the future of her daughter, the future Queen Elizabeth I.

    On taking on the role, Turner-Smith says, “Delving deeper into Anne Boleyn’s immense strengths while examining her fatal weaknesses and vulnerabilities, Eve’s scripts immediately captured my imagination.”
    Producers Faye Ward and Hannah Farrell, add: “We feel that history has side-lined the voice of this ambitious Queen in favour of the men who brought her down, and that Lynsey Miller’s beautiful, intimate vision will put Anne’s gaze at the heart of the piece.”
    An air date for the show, made by ViacomCBS, is yet to be announced.
    Jodie Turner-Smith, 34, took a break this year as she’s pregnant with her first child. She gave birth to a baby girl in April, four months after she tied the knot with Joshua Jackson.
    She was last seen on the big screen last year with “Queen & Slim” and on TV with “Jett”. Her next movies include action thriller “Without Remorse” and sci-fi drama “After Yang”.

    WENN/Ivan Nikolov

    The 69-year-old former ‘Cheers’ star, who is a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, has taken to her Twitter account to call out the liberal network over its constant COVID-19 fearmonger.

    Oct 31, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Kirstie Alley is one of outspoken Donald Trump supporters, so it won’t be surprising to know that she’s not a fan of CNN. Still, the former “Cheers” star took to Twitter to further make public her sentiment towards the liberal network with a condemning tweet on Friday, October 30.
    Criticizing the network over its constant fearmonger, Kirstie wrote on the blue bird app, “I now Know why my personal friends who walk around in SHEER TERROR of contracting Covid are simply CNN viewers!” She went on to say, “I decided to watch CNN myself to get a their viewpoint and oh my God DID I EVER!!!! IF YOU TOO WANT TO LIVE IN TERROR WATCH CNN!! FEAR OF DYING IS THEIR MANTRA! OMG.”
    It didn’t take long for CNN to catch wind of the tweet. The network decided to hit back at the actress with a more personal jab in its response. Replying to Kirstie’s tweet, CNN said, “Kirstie, you are welcome to change the channel – just like countless viewers did every time ‘Veronica’s Closet’ came on TV,” referring to the NBC sitcom starring Kirstie as Veronica Chase. “But don’t downplay the loss of nearly 230K American lives. And please, wear a mask.”

    In response to CNN’s vicious clapback, NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck wrote, “This is some grade-A juvenile stuff here, CNN. But this is also very on-brand of you. No class. No ethics. It’s all a game.” Another user added, “That washed up actress, Kirstie Alley went after CNN. It did not go the way she’d hoped.”

    Kirstie Alley and CNN were feuding on Twitter.
    However, some others jumped to Kirstie’s defense, calling out CNN for being unprofessional. “Unprofessionalism at its finest! Continuing to show your true colors CNN,” one said. Meanwhile, another reply read, “Here’s something I did not know: Veronica’s Closet was the #3 rated show in 1998 — pulling in 24 million viewers every episode. Which is what, more than the entire CNN prime time lineup pulls every week?”
    Earlier this month, Kirstie received huge backlash after declaring her support to Donald. Calling out the haters, the 69-year-old tweeted, “Don’t think I’ve ever seen so much name-calling in my life. Definitely not on my site here anyway I guess I’m not allowed to have a viewpoint without being called a really nasty names by what I’m going to suppose are really nasty people.”

    Carpentry TV Show Canceled Following Backlash Over Contestant's Nazi Tattoo

    Sky History

    The ‘Chop: Britain’s Top Woodworker’ show has been called off following controversy after one of the contestants was seen sporting what looked like a neo-Nazi tattoo.

    Oct 31, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Woodworking TV show “The Chop: Britain’s Top Woodworker” has been cancelled after a contestant was alleged to have neo-Nazi symbols tattooed on his face.
    The Sky HISTORY channel’s carpentry contest, hosted by comedian Lee Mack, hit the headlines earlier this month (Oct20) after a promotional clip was posted online of a contestant, Darren Lumsden, who had skin art featuring an ’88’ on his face.
    The numerals commonly used by neo-Nazis to represent their Adolf Hitler salute ‘Heil Hitler’ as H is the eighth letter of the alphabet.

    After initially defending Darren, who denies his body art is a reference to Neo-Nazism, and then suspending the show, channel chiefs announced they would cancel the programme on Friday (30Oct20).
    A statement tweeted out by the channel reads, “A contestant’s tattoos included symbols that could be connected to far-right ideologies and could cause offence; we sincerely apologise for that and we are sorry that our processes did not prompt further investigation at an earlier stage.”
    “The contestant continues to strenuously deny that he has, or ever had, far-right leanings. We are thoroughly reviewing our internal processes following the investigation. (production company) AETN UK and Sky History stand against racism and hate speech of all kinds.”
    Sky HISTORY bosses initially claimed to have looked into Darren’s inkings and found that the number 88 was the year of his father’s death. However, viewers pointed out other tattoos with white supremacist connotations and later it emerged his dad was alive and well and living near Bristol, England.

    “Thank God Tristan is back in California,” Khloe shared in the episode. “No matter how sick I am, I’m still constantly focused and thinking about True. Is she okay? Does she miss me? So having her dad here gives me a little more time to focus on just me trying to get better…because this s**t is unreal.”

Even though she couldn’t be there physically, Khloe revealed that she showed her appreciation through FaceTime and gifts. “I really appreciate how attentive and responsible he’s been,” she shared.

So I want him to really feel celebrated and loved. He’s been helping take care of True while I’ve been on lockdown in my bedroom,” she continued recalling.
    In the episode, the Good American jeans founder opened up about her health issues. “I just found out that I do have corona. I have been in my room,” she said while lying on her bed. “It’s gonna be fine, but it was really bad for couple days, vomiting and shaking and then hot and then cold.”
    “I suffer from migraines, but this was the craziest headache. I wouldn’t say it was a migraine,” she continued to describe her symptoms. “The cough in my chest would burn when I would cough. My throat is still not fully recovered, clearly. Let me tell you, that s**t is real. But we’re all going to get through this. I’m praying if we all follow orders and listen, we’re gonna be OK.”

    'The Crown' New Trailer: Queen Elizabeth Meets Margaret Thatcher, Prince Charles Looks for Wife

    Netflix

    A brand new sneak peek for the upcoming fourth season of the Netflix hit royal drama series has arrived, offering more glimpses of what to offer in the next installment.

    Oct 30, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Olivia Colman’s Queen Elizabeth II faces off against former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, played by Gillian Anderson, in the latest trailer for “The Crown”.
    In the teaser for the upcoming fourth season of the show, set to hit the streamer on 15 November (20), the monarch is seen looking forward to having a female prime minister.
    As Tobias Menzies’ Prince Philip says, “Two women running the show – that’s the last thing this country needs,” the Queen responds, “Perhaps that’s exactly what this country needs.”
    “I think we have enough respect for one another personally to ask ourselves some of the bigger questions, woman to woman,” Anderson’s Thatcher is heard saying in a voiceover narration.
    Writer Peter Morgan muses in a press release, “It could be said that they are two very similar women, born only months apart… It was a commonly held piece of wisdom that the Queen and Thatcher didn’t get on.”

    “I think there was probably a lot of respect. But they also had many differences, it was really fun exploring their differences and their similarities”
    Meanwhile, Prince Charles, played by Josh O’Connor, is tasked with finding a woman who “people will love as a princess, and in due course, as queen,” with the clip offering a glimpse of Emma Corrin as Princess Diana rollerskating and dancing around the palace, as well as being swarmed by admirers and paparazzi.
    Princess Margaret – portrayed by Helena Bonham Carter – asks, “How many times will this family make the same mistakes, paying the consequences each time?”
    [embedded content]
    The show will follow the royals as the 1970s ends and Britain is divided by Thatcher’s policies – with Prince Charles’ romance with Diana providing a welcome distraction for both the public, and the Queen, as she looks to her heir to secure the line of succession to the throne.
