Piers Vs Donald

Guess Who’s Back x 2: Did you miss them? By their own sky-high standards, Piers Morgan and Donald Trump have been relatively quiet over the past few months but, no longer, after a promo vid for Rupert Murdoch’s new channel Talk TV showed the former Potus storming off Morgan’s Uncensored set. The pair, who have been happy to extol the virtues of their friendship in the past, have since been engaged in a public spat, with Trump branding Morgan “part of the Fake News Media” and Morgan challenging him for failing to provide proof of the perceived 2020 election rig. This all after Trump’s daughter Ivanka supposedly offered Morgan her congratulations on his new show.

Well it has certainly started with a bang.

The Rupert Murdoch-backed Talk TV hasn’t even reached launch day yet Piers Morgan already is generating global headlines for his spat with Donald Trump, after a promo clip of the opening of Morgan’s Uncensored Talk TV tentpole showed the former Potus storming off set.

With rumors abounding that the conflict might have been generated for publicity, Morgan again finds himself the talk of the media — and the news channel hasn’t even debuted.

Talk TV will launch Monday by placing Morgan center stage, one year after he himself stormed off the set of ITV’s Good Morning Britain due to a row over his comments about Meghan Markle’s mental health.

Facebook is looking to expand the reach of its video game streaming platform with the launch of the Facebook Gaming app.

“Investing in gaming, in general, has become a priority for us because we see gaming as a form of entertainment that really connects people,” says Facebook executive Fidji Simo in an interview with The New York Times. “We’re seeing a big rise in gaming during quarantine.”

We’ll come back to that last part in a bit (don’t worry), but it’s worth noting that this isn’t an entirely new initiative from Facebook. The company has long allowed people to stream video games via their Facebook page, and they’ve even been testing this app in limited markets for over a year now. Facebook has also worked to sign some streamers away from Twitch and other popular platforms.

Last week was not so pleasant for actor Vivek Oberoi. The actor and his father Suresh Oberoi received a non-bailable warrant from a metropolitan magistrate court with regard to a bounced cheque worth Rs. 3 crore. Apart from the duo, four members from board of directors and a manager from Oberoi Mutimedia Ltd had also been accused for the same. The complaint had been filed by Jawaharlal Agicha who acquainted with Suresh Oberoi's relative and company's MD Anand Oberoi and its manager Anil Lalwani. Agicha informed that he received only Rs 50,000 in January 2010 via cheque, while another cheque of Rs. 3 crore meant for realisation on October 19, 2010, bounced. In response to the accusation levied on him and his family, Vivek has retaliated by filing a Rs. 25 crore defamation case against the concerned person. Vivek claims that the news being spread is false and is an attempt to defame the name of him and his family.

Vashu had also approached Gautam Menon [Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein] and even Ken Ghosh, but things didn't work out. "Vivek called one evening, he had hit upon a story-idea for Jackky's launch. That's how Kal Kissne Dekha took off," he recalls. Having worked with seasoned actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Anil Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Govinda and several others, how was it working with two newcomers [Jackky, Vaishali] this time?

Not many are aware that Vashu had signed Vivek Sharma much before Vivek directed Bhoothnath.
