Bravo pauses the RHOD… Colin Jost confirms Scarlett Johansson is pregnant… Halle Berry is facing a new lawsuit… All-new movie news… and Britney Spears ‘was married for a third time’ with ex Jason Trawick
Listen to “Showbiz – Aug 18, 2021” on Spreaker.
The rumor was they were doing a big cast shakeup on “The Real Housewives of Dallas” and that filming had already begun on Season Six with Tiffany Moon, D’Andra Simmons and some new faces. But yesterday word came down that Bravo is done with the Dallas franchise…..for now, at least. A spokesperson told Page Six, “There are currently no plans to bring ‘The Real Housewives of Dallas’ back next year, and beyond that nothing official has been decided.” Maybe this will be another Miami situation. “The Real Housewives of Miami” only made it three seasons before it folded in 2013. But Bravo confirmed earlier this year that they’re giving that franchise another chance.

Back in July, Page Six got the scoop that Scarlett Johansson was pregnant and due soon, but nobody in her camp would confirm it. Colin Jost just took care of that. While doing standup in Connecticut over the weekend, Colin reportedly told the audience that he and Scarlett Johansson are having a baby. He didn’t reveal the due date, but it REALLY must be soon if he’s saying something now. Pregnancy rumors first started back in June when Scarlett started missing several events promoting “Black Widow.” And for any interviews she did do, they were all on Zoom so you couldn’t see her belly. This will be Colin’s first child. Scarlett has a 6-year-old daughter named Rose Dorothy from her second marriage to French journalist Romain Dauriac.

Halle Berry plays an MMA fighter in a new movie called “Bruised.” It’s also her directorial debut. But all her fun is being ruined by a lawsuit filed by MMA fighter Cat Zingano. In her lawsuit, Cat says that back in 2019, Halle asked her to star in the film because of some parallels between the “Bruised” script and Cat’s real life. Cat was thrilled. A week later, she even turned down an offer for a UFC fight to star in the movie. And this was a big one, too. Cat said it would have been a key move for her career, putting her in contention for a title fight. But when Cat told the UFC she couldn’t do the fight because of the movie, they let her go. And when Halle found out, she retracted the offer to have Cat star in her movie because “only UFC fighters could participate.”

Here’s some fun casting news! Mark Wahlberg and Kevin Hart will star in a new Netflix comedy called “Me Time.” Kevin will play a stay-at-home dad who gets some “me time” for the first time in years while his wife and kids are away. He reconnects with his former best friend, played by Mark, and they have a wild weekend that nearly turns his life upside down. And Eminem will guest star in 50 Cent’s upcoming Starz series, “BMF (Black Mafia Family).” “BMF” tells the true story of two men who formed one of the most powerful and influential criminal empires in 1980s Detroit. Eminem will play Rick Wershe, aka White Boy Rick, who became an FBI informant as a teenager and was later busted for selling drugs. You may remember the 2018 movie “White Boy Rick” starring Matthew McConaughey as Rick’s father.

The “Toxic: The Britney Spears Story” podcast has uncovered some juicy stuff in the ongoing Britney conservatorship saga. Co-hosts Tess Barker and Babs Gray were looking at an accounting report from the conservatorship and a lot of information had been redacted, including a couple of payments to a Beverly Hills law firm. However, somebody forgot to black out one of the three payments — a $9150 check made on Oct. 1, 2012, for “consultation (on) dissolution of marriage.” Back in 2009, Britney started dating her agent, Jason Trawick. The following year, he resigned as her agent to avoid any conflicts of interest. In December 2011, Britney and Jason got engaged and he became her co-conservator, along with Britney’s dad. As far as we knew, they remained engaged until they announced their breakup in January 2013, which is when Jason also stepped down as a co-conservator. But with this new information, we have to assume that Britney and Jason actually sneaked in a wedding during their time together.
