The Phantom of the Opera will be closing… ‘Inside Amy Schumer’s’ return… Extension for “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”… Tiffany Haddish no longer fighting lawsuit… and Adam Levine has addressed the viral affair allegations
Listen to “Showbiz – Sept 21, 2022” on Spreaker.
I’m so glad I got to take Emma Kelly to see Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “The Phantom of the Opera” on our trip to NYC last month because if I hadn’t, she would’ve never had a chance to see it on Broadway. And if that’s your dream, too, you better start looking at flights and hotels because the longest-running show in Broadway history will have its final performance at the Majestic Theatre on Feb. 18, less than a month after celebrating its 35th anniversary. When “The Phantom” debuted in 1988, it won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. And when that final curtain falls, the show will have had 13,925 performances on Broadway.
To all our #PhantomBroadway fans around the world: We are overwhelmed by the amount of love and memories you have shared over the past week. After 13,925 performances, The Phantom of the Opera will be closing on February 18, 2023. pic.twitter.com/0o4Jp5SPjJ

If you’ve been missing Amy Schumer, then this is your lucky day. After a 6-year hiatus, “Inside Amy Schumer” returns on Oct. 20th on its new home, Paramount+. Amy posted on Instagram that she “wanted to bring back Inside Amy Schumer to burn any remaining bridges. Inside Amy Schumer is returning for another season. And it’s better than ever. Well, not as good as season 3. But close.” She signed off saying, “It’s what the Queen would have wanted. Amy (The Duchess of Long Island).”

“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” debuted on ABC in January 2003. And just months ahead of the show’s 20th anniversary, Jimmy announced he just signed a 3-year contract extension, saying, “After two decades at ABC, I am now looking forward to three years of what they call ‘quiet quitting.’” This shouldn’t come as a shock because there’s no way Jimmy would miss the opportunity to poke fun at the 2024 presidential election!

“Jane Doe” and her younger brother “John” have dismissed their lawsuit against Tiffany Haddish and Aries Spears. The siblings accused Tiffany and Aries of coercing them into making sexually-themed sketch videos back in 2013, when they were 14- and 7-years-old. But yesterday, it was announced that the siblings have dropped the lawsuit and just want to put this whole mess behind them. TMZ reported that the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it can never be refiled. “Jane Doe” released a statement saying, “My family and I have known Tiffany Haddish for many years – and we now know that she would never harm me or my brother or help anyone else do anything that could harm us. We wish Tiffany the best and are glad that we can all put this behind us.”

After Instagram model Sumner Stroh blasted Adam Levine for misleading her into thinking he was available and having an affair with her, Adam Levine didn’t drag his feet putting out a statement. Adam admitted to messing up, but denied it was a full-blown affair. He posted on his IG Story, “A lot is being said about me right now and I want to clear the air. I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner. I did not have an affair, nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period in my life. In certain instances it became inappropriate; I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family. My wife and my family is all I care about in this world. To be this naive and stupid enough to risk the only thing that truly matters to me was the greatest mistake I could ever make. I will never make it again. I take full responsibility. We will get through it. And we will get through it together.” Of course, a couple other women came forward to share their flirty DM exchanges with Adam. He hasn’t said boo about those. But Adam and Behati put on a smiley united front for the cameras yesterday when they picked up their daughters from school.
