Joe Exotic divorced Dillon Passage in 2021, and the Tiger King personality got engaged to Jorge Marquez, a fellow inmate in prison. The news arrived in October last year via platform X. Joe serves time for allegedly arranging the death of Carole Baskin. Late last week, Joe cried and begged President Donald Trump not to deport his new lover.

Tearful Appeal By Netflix Character

The Tiger King star spoke with The Sun US on March 7, and he just wanted to get his message out to President Donald Trump. He must have married Jorge Marquez because he referred to him as a “husband.” As Marquez is Mexican, of course, he was high on the list for deportation and will leave America in May.

Exotic still has many years to run for his conviction, and he has been reported to not be very well. Probably, Marquez gave him lots of comfort behind bars.

Season 21 of “American Idol” continued Sunday night with judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie beginning to narrow down the contestants to the Top 24. It was the first of two “Final Judgement” episodes. Throughout the two-hour episode, contestants performed in the Showstoppers round of Hollywood Week before learning their fate.

The three notable contestants cut from the competition were Adin Boyer, Fire and Kaylin Hedges. In a recent poll, we asked our readers to vote for who they thought was robbed. Forty-one percent actually said, “No one! The judges got it right.” But coming in second place was Fire, who had developed a sympathetic fan base throughout her journey.

Season 21 of “American Idol” continued Sunday night with judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie narrowing the contestants down to the Top 24. It was the first of two “Final Judgement” episodes. Throughout the two hours contestants sang their hearts out in the Showstoppers round, several difficult choices were made, and three fan favorites were cut. Which one do you think was the most robbed of a spot in the Top 24? Vote in our poll below.

Adin Boyer was the first eliminated singer of the night. He performed “Viva La Vida” by Coldplay and received positive marks for his musicality and showmanship. Lionel told the 22-year old that his songwriting career could begin immediately, but he doesn’t have the vocal chops to compete on the main stage this season.

The Walking Dead, AMC's longest-running scripted show, celebrated its impressive milestone of reaching 100 episodes with a series of callbacks to the premiere episode, "Days Gone Bye." Initially developed by Frank Darabont, known for the critically-acclaimed film adaptations of The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, and The Mist, The Walking Dead became an overnight sensation for AMC, with its first episode breaking the record for the highest-viewed cable television program. The success of "Days Gone Bye" led to The Walking Dead becoming one of AMC's most successful series, with a total episode run of 177 by the time the show ended in November 2022.

"Mercy" not only functions as The Walking Dead season 8's opener but as the show's 100th episode. With The Walking Dead passing the 100-episode milestone, the first AMC scripted show to do so, executive producer and "Mercy" director Greg Nicotero wanted to honor the show's origins. So here's...

It may have been music critic Robert Christgau who once observed that the hardest works to write about are the ones that earn a B+, or are just on the cusp of A-. Mind you, that might have been said by Roger Ebert or a critic for The Hollywood Reporter or any reviewer since the beginning of time. The point is, it’s the imperceptible flaws that curb enthusiasm which are almost as impossible to define as whatever makes something extraordinary. What is the ineffable deficit between very good and great?

In a sense, Dreamin’ Wild is about that margin of error. Based on a true story recounted in a work of journalism called Fruitland by Steven Kurutz, it’s a tale of two musician brothers, Don and Joe Emerson (Casey Affleck and Walton Goggins, respectively).

Based on what we’re hearing from Disney, the seventh and final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, now on Disney Plus, will be with us on February 17th, 2020.

The new film Just Mercy is based on the real-life story of a Death Row prisoner and the young lawyer who fought to have his murder conviction retried and overturned. Michael B. Jordan stars as the defense attorney, but he was also a producer on the film. He told us the movie and the story [...]

The post Michael B. Jordan Thinks America Needs Some ‘Mercy’ appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

Perhaps surprisingly, Christmas week brought us not one, but two films exploring the moral and philosophical implications of the death penalty — ’tis the season? The fact-based “Just Mercy” opened on Christmas Day, and “Clemency” opened two days later on December 27. While “Mercy” focused on criminal justice from the perspective of a defense attorney, “Clemency” focuses on the toll it takes on a prison warden (Alfre Woodard) who oversees death sentences. So what do critics make of this approach to that hot-button subject matter?

As of this writing the film has a MetaCritic score of 74 based on 14 reviews counted thus far: 12 positive, 2 somewhat mixed, but none outright negative. Over on Rotten Tomatoes the score is even higher: 95% fresh based on 55 reviews, only three of which are classified as negative.

The legal drama “Just Mercy” aims for inspiration over the holidays, opening Christmas Day with its story of real-life legal crusader Bryan Stevenson (Michael B. Jordan), who fought to save a wrongly convicted man (Jamie Foxx) from death row. But did it land with critics?

As of this writing the film has a MetaCritic score of 66 based on 21 reviews counted thus far: 15 positive, 6 somewhat mixed, but none outright negative. Elsewhere, the film has a Rotten Tomatoes freshness rating of 79% based on 81 reviews. Rt classifies reviews merely as positive or negative, which means 64 of those critics give it a thumbs up, while 17 give it a thumbs down. The Rt critics’ consensus sums up the film’s reception by saying, “‘Just Mercy’ dramatizes a real-life injustice with solid performances, a steady directorial hand, and enough urgency to overcome a certain degree of earnest advocacy.”

Just as Gold Derby predicted, Shane Q was eliminated during Tuesday’s results episode of “The Voice” following his Top 10 performance of “Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run).” This 28-year-old versatile artist from Team Kelly Clarkson ended up in the bottom three along with Joana Martinez and Marybeth Byrd, with the live social media voters instantly saving Marybeth. That meant both Shane and Joana were unfortunately eliminated just prior to next week’s semifinals. Watch Shane’s “save me” performance of “Killing Me Softly” above.

Gold Derby readers have been making their predictions all week long for which two of the Top 10 artists on “The Voice” won’t be making it into the Top 8, and things are not looking good for Joana Martinez and Shane Q. Both of these contestants have already appeared in the bottom and successfully sang for their lives in the instant save, but now their journeys on NBC’s reality TV show may be coming to an end. Joana of Team Gwen Stefani has 1/3 racetrack odds of going home on Tuesday night while Shane of Team Kelly Clarkson has odds of 2/11.

Joana’s performance during Monday’s Top 10 episode was Christina Aguilera‘s “Impossible.” John Legend started off the judges’ comments by praising her for “owning this moment,” while Gwen remained amazed at the youthful age of her 16-year-old artist.

We’re just three weeks away from the season 17 finale of “The Voice.” The Top 10 take to the stage on Monday’s show to sing for survival. Only eight of them will make the cut when Carson Daly reveals the results on Tuesday’s episode. This is one of the most competitive editions ever of this NBC reality competition series.

Three artists are fighting it out for first place in our poll of “The Voice” viewers. In first place is Ricky Duran, who has a whopping 22% of the vote total. If he goes all the way and takes the season 17 title, it would give his coach Blake Shelton that elusive seventh win. Right behind him at 20% is Katie Kadan, who is coached by reigning champ John Legend. Rounding out the top 3 with 16% support is Rose Short, who is mentored by Gwen Stefani.

This No Doubt lead singer lost her previous three seasons as a coach.

The Top 10 on season 17 of “The Voice” take to the stage again on December 2. Each is hoping to rack up enough votes to number among the final eight as revealed by Carson Daly on Tuesday’s results show. Two of the coaches — Kelly Clarkson and John Legend — each have same three artists in contention. Each of the other two mentors — lovebirdsa Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani — are down to a pair of potential winners.

In advance of the Top 10 performing live on Monday, we want to know who you think will win this 17th season of “The Voice.” After reviewing the sales results of their tracks from the Top 11 live show on November 25, vote in our poll as to your choice for champ and we will report back with your season 17 rankings.

Tuesday night on “The Voice,” Kelly Clarkson‘s four-chair turn artist Shane Q was in danger of going home just prior to the Thanksgiving holiday. Shane and Myracle Holloway of Team Gwen Stefani found themselves in the bottom two and fighting for the live instant save, with Shane opting to sing “Jealous” (watch above). After the social media audience cast their votes, Kelly was ecstatic to see Shane advance into the Top 10. “Yas!” she shouted as she went up to hug Shane and console Myracle.

Two of the Top 11 artists remaining on “The Voice” will be on the hot seat Tuesday night. They will perform for an Instant Save from the public. One will go home, while the other joins the Top 10 for next week’s shows. Who will be the safe ones to make the Top 10 for Season 17?

The Top 11 artists on “The Voice” performed live on Monday’s show. Each hoped that their song would get the most streams on Apple Music in the hour after the episode went off the air across the country. That was the deadline to qualify for the five-times vote multiplier that could help keep them in the competition when Carson Daly revealed the results on Tuesday’s show.

As with last week, none of the artists coached by Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani made the Top 10 on iTunes; that had been a requirement to get the multiplier until this season. The best of the bunch by far among the Top 11 is Katie Kadan from Team John Legend. She got to #15 with her version of “Without You.” (See the full list of songs and where the Top 11 ranked below.)

Hollywood and the Oscars have a long history of legal dramas, from the 1931 “A Free Soul” through the 1982 “The Verdict” (five nominations), to the 2007 “Michael Clayton”.

So Warner Bros.’ “Just Mercy,” which plays at the AFI Fest in Hollywood this month and opens theatrically in the U.S. on Christmas Day, could do well.

“Just Mercy” uses the staples of courtroom drama: The setbacks, the reversals, the “backstage” lives of the prosecutors and/or defending attorneys. That will be a major asset to Oscar voters who like well-structured pieces. But it’s not shiny-new flashy filmmaking, which is its biggest plus and its biggest challenge.

Last year, “Green Book” and “Bohemian Rhapsody” were dissed endlessly because they featured storytelling that could have been made 20 years ago, as opposed to such cutting-edge movies as “The Favourite,” “Vice” and “Black Panther.” But many voters embraced those 2018 movies.

Exclusive: Actor Theo James and producer Andrew D. Corkin are joining forces to produce theatrical and small-screen projects in the UK and U.S. with their new label Untapped.

“While our primary focus is genre and thriller, we are drawn to stories of conflicted humanity that force viewers to question how they would react when faced with real or existential threats,” said James. “These stories are often grounded in truth – literal or allegorical – encouraging us to confront and challenge the assumptions we make about ourselves and the world around us.”

Said Corkin: “We’re excited to solidify our partnership to tell complex, diverse stories across various mediums. Theo and I share a vision for how we want to build stories and worlds that both fit within the current marketplace and look beyond it.”

Already, James and Corkin have several film and TV projects in various stages of development, prep and post.

The showrunner of Fox’s intense vampire drama has a philosophy when it comes to staffing her shows: “I love hiring moms.”

Liz Heldens, who took on the reigns of adapting the popular bloodsucker novel “The Passage” as a series, is a mother herself, and what she believes is that “nobody gets it done like who needs to get home for bedtime. I’m serious. I really feel like women with kids are the most efficient workers.”

It’s a philosophy that other showrunners might not share, but Heldens goes out of her way to subvert that concept. “We have a writer on [‘The Passage’] who has four kids who didn’t want to tell me, and I didn’t know in the meeting. And then she told me on the first day, and I was like, ‘I woulda hired you so much faster,'” she told IndieWire. “You can...

Actor Avi Nash plays Siddiq on The Walking Dead cast. The character has had some important story arcs on the show but doesn’t get enough screentime to be as familiar as other Twd cast members. Siddiq first appeared on the show during Season 8, at first in a mysterious encounter. His first contact with the main characters was when Carl Grimes and Rick Grimes come across him in the episode titled, “Mercy.” Carl felt guilty about pointing a gun at him and left some cans of food out for Siddiq. The character of Siddiq kills walkers to release their souls, […]

And just like that, Kymberli Joye, the final gospel singer still in contention to win “The Voice” Season 15, was eliminated during Tuesday’s Top 8 results episode. Because Kymberli and Sarah Grace, both of Team Kelly Clarkson, received the lowest number of overnight votes for their Monday performances, the two powerhouse artists were not given the option of singing for their lives via the instant save. That meant Tori Kelly‘s “Never Alone” (watch above) ended up being Kymberli’s final performance ever on “The Voice.”

It’s crazy to think that after all this time getting to know Kymberli, fans weren’t even given a proper goodbye for their favorite gospel singer. Instead, Kymberli was quickly whisked off the stage before she could thank Kelly for coaching her or the audience for supporting her all these weeks.

Back in October, Brett Young ticked an important item off the bucket list when he headlined Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium in front of a sold-out crowd. He opened his set with a pair of new songs, “Here Tonight” and “Used to Missing You,” that qualified as legitimately uptempo numbers within his ballad-heavy catalog.

The crowd, a predominantly 30-and-up assortment of couples, was a bit slow to get out of those famous wooden pews and onto their feet. Young shifted gears.

“You happy? Here’s a real sad song to ruin that,...

During Monday’s live episode of “The Voice” Season 15, soul singer Kymberli Joye of Team Kelly Clarkson performed “Diamonds” for America’s votes.

“You’re the best kind of vocalist in the sense that you sing it different every time,” Kelly told Kymberli as her two siblings watched proudly from the audience. “And so it’s a show every time. It’s like going to a Broadway show [where] everybody’s different every night. It’s so wonderful that every time you just have this innate way about yourself.
