King Charles’ coronation update… Disney has overhauled its schedule… James Corden has been banned… BTS will enlist in South Korea’s military… and Jason Sudeikis & Olivia Wilde issue joint statement against former nanny

Listen to “Showbiz – Oct 18, 2022” on Spreaker.

 

A source close to the Royals told “The Daily Beast” that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are tentatively on the guest list for King Charles’ coronation on May 6, which happens to be the birthday of his grandson Archie. It all depends on what Prince Harry says about his stepmom, the Queen Consort Camilla. The source said, “It is one thing for Harry to attack Charles, he can take it on the chin, but if Harry forces him to choose by laying into Camilla in his book, I have no doubt he will choose Camilla.” Harry’s book was supposed to come out this past summer, but now it’s expected to come out in April. But it might not be the book that gets Harry and Meghan uninvited. Multiple sources told Page Six their Netflix docu-series is coming out in December, despite Harry and Megan wanting to push it back to delete some content recorded before Queen Elizabeth passed away.

In movie news, Disney announced that several Marvel movies are being delayed. “Blade,” with Mahershala Ali taking over the role once held by Wesley Snipes, has been pushed back almost a year to Sept. 6, 2024. “Deadpool 3,” which was originally supposed to open on that same day will now open on Nov. 8, 2024. And since the “Fantastic Four” reboot was supposed to open on Nov. 8, they’re bumping it to Feb. 14, 2025. Even with “Blade” being delayed to 2024, we have a ton of Marvel movies to look forward to in 2023. “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” is out Feb. 17. “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” arrives May 5. And “The Marvels” is out July 28. And one more piece of Marvel news — Harrison Ford joins the MCU in “Captain America: New World Order” as Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross, replacing William Hurt, who passed away in March. “New World Order” starring Anthony Mackie is the fourth “Captain America” movie, and it follows the events of the 2021 Disney+ series “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.”

The owner of Balthazar restaurant in NYC blasted James Corden on social media Monday, banning him from his fine establishment. Keith McNally wrote, “James Corden is a Hugely gifted comedian, but a tiny Cretin of a man. And the most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago.” He then posted two manager’s reports giving examples of James’ bad behavior, which Keith said was similar to how James behaved at another one of his restaurants a few years ago. The first incident happened back in June. After eating his main course, James found a hair in his meal and showed it to the manager, who apologized, of course. But the manager claims James demanded another round of drinks and told the manager if he didn’t pay for those and the drinks they’d had earlier, he would write a nasty Yelp review. The second incident happened on Oct. 9. James and his wife were at Balthazar for brunch. His wife ordered an egg yolk omelet with a side salad, but James called the server over because there was a little bit of egg white mixed in. The kitchen remade the dish, but when it came back, they brought home fries instead of the salad James reportedly went off, yelling that the server couldn’t do her job and said, “Maybe I should go into the kitchen and cook the omelet myself!” They gave the couple champagne to smooth things over. After this story made headlines yesterday, Keith posted an update saying James had called to apologize profusely, so he’s giving James a second chance…..” if James Corden lets me host his Late Late Show for 9 months, I’ll immediately rescind his ban from Balthazar.” He was only kidding. But Keith said, “Anyone magnanimous enough to apologize to a deadbeat layabout like me (and my staff) doesn’t deserve to be banned from anywhere. Especially Balthazar. So Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Corden, Jimmy Corden. All is Forgiven. xx.”

He put it off as long as he could and now the rest of the band will follow. BTS is joining the South Korean Army. In South Korea, all able-bodied men must serve 18-21 months in the military before their 30th birthday. As the oldest member of BTS, 29-year-old Jin will begin his service at the end of this month. We’re not sure when the other six will enlist. The group’s management firm BigHit Music released a statement saying, “Both the company and the members of BTS are looking forward to reconvening as a group again around 2025 following their service commitment.”

The former nanny of Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde told the Daily Mail ALL their business, saying Olivia DID leave Jason for Harry Styles and it was ugly. In a joint statement to the Daily Mail, Olivia and Jason said, “As parents, it is incredibly upsetting to learn that a former nanny of our two young children would choose to make such false and scurrilous accusations about us publicly.” But the thing is, the nanny has receipts. She shared text message exchanges between her and the former couple to back up her claims. Among the bombshells, the nanny says that after being engaged for several years, Olivia and Jason were talking about finally getting married when she began her affair with Harry on the set of “Don’t Worry Darling.” The nanny says Jason found out about the affair after reading messages on an Apple watch Olivia left behind. Another huge blowup happened on Nov. 15 when Olivia made a salad with her “special” dressing for Harry in the kitchen she shared with Jason. But when Olivia tried to take it to him, Jason lay under the wheels of her car so she couldn’t leave! The nanny also talks about how Jason’s drinking got out of control during this time and he ended up firing her. But he and Olivia claim she quit and she couldn’t collect unemployment.
