The box office weekend… TV/streaming news… Tyga is sparing no expense… Blac Chyna shows off new face… and Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” kicked off

Listen to “Showbiz – Mar 20, 2023” on Spreaker.

 

“Shazam: Fury of the Gods” opened in first place at the box office this weekend, but only with $30.5M. It was expected to open somewhere between $35M-$40M, which would’ve still been disappointing because the movie cost over $110M to produce and they spent another $100M marketing it. Coming in second was “Scream VI” with $17.5M, followed by “Creed III” with $15.3. The prehistoric sci-fi thriller “65” earned $5.8M for a fourth place finish, followed by “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” with $4.1M.

In TV and streaming news, she didn’t find love on “The Bachelor,” but the fans loved her. Now Charity Lawson has been chosen as the next Bachelorette. And Tyra Banks has decided that the dance floor just doesn’t work for her anymore. She is leaving “Dancing With the Stars” to focus on her ice cream brand and other businesses. Tyra said she’s not giving up on her TV career, but would rather spend more time producing than hosting.

It seems a little much after only a month of dating (that we know of…), but Tyga gifted Avril Lavigne with a custom “AVRIL” necklace from Mavani & Co Jewelry, which cost him $80K…..allegedly. With the jeweler is posting it on his Instagram — @ericdajeweler — you know Tyga wasn’t paying retail. Anyway, the necklace features 50 carats of white and black diamonds along with some pink sapphire accents. In addition to Avril’s name, the necklace features two pink heart with the letter “A” written over them and two skulls with crossbones wearing pink ribbons.

Last May, Blac Chyna revealed she’d been born again and baptized! As part of her spiritual transformation, Chyna is undergoing a physical one, too. She’s removed her breast and butt implants, dissolved the fillers in her cheeks and lips, ditched the super-long nails AND her OnlyFans account! This is huge because Chyna said she earned $240M from her OnlyFans in 2021. On the “Jason Lee Show,” Chyna said selling raunchy images of herself was a “dead end” and that she’s worth way more than that. Plus, she wants to set a good example for her 6-year-old daughter Dream Kardashian and 10-year-old son King Cairo Stevenson. On top of all that, she’s also going back to the name her mama gave her — Angela White.

Taylor Swift kicked off her Eras Tour Friday night in Glendale, Arizona — renamed “Swift City” by the mayor during her back-to-back sellout shows over the weekend. For opening night, the stars of Taylor’s “Bejeweled” video — Laura Dern and HAIM — were partying in VIP alongside Emma Stone. Taylor sang a whopping 44 songs for a jaw-dropping 3 hours and 15 minutes, including the 10-minute version of “All Too Well.” And there are TONS of costume changes, featuring designs by fashion icons including Zuhair Murad Couture, Oscar de la Renta, Roberto Cavalli, and Versace.
