Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hair… “Office Ladies” podcast reveal… Jonas Brothers joins Summerfest… TV & movie news… and Women exposed Ben Affleck & Matthew Perry for using Raya

Listen to “Showbiz – May 7th, 2021” on Spreaker.

 

I told you yesterday that Broadway will officially turn the lights back on in September, but it looks like producers are scrambling to get “Hamilton” back on stage on July 4. There’s also a lot of buzz that Lin-Manuel Miranda will return as Alexander Hamilton. He left the role he originated back in 2016 and the first thing he did was cut his hair. But in a recent interview, Lin-Manuel has grown his hair back out, which people take a sign that he’s stepping back into the role.

After 13 years, one of the biggest mysteries of “The Office” has been solved. Remember when Jan Levinson used a sperm donor to have a baby (Astrid?), gutting Michael Scott. On Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey’s “Office Ladies” podcast, they said the sperm donor WAS revealed, but the scene ended up on the cutting room floor. Jan tells Michael that the sperm donor was Andy Roddick. Jenna explained that Andy was really good friends with Rainn Wilson and would stop by the set all the time. She has no idea why that part was edited out.

The Jonas Brothers are ready to get back out there and perform live again. They announced yesterday that they’ll be headlining Summerfest on September 8………..in Milwaukee. Now that’s a Wednesday, but perhaps White Cheddar will let Ana do the show from Wisconsin that week? Other artists scheduled to perform include Jesse McCartney, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and MORE. But the Jonas Brothers are the headlining act!

In movie and TV news, Jesse Williams has announced he’s leaving “Grey’s Anatomy. He joined the show as Dr. Jackson Avery in Season 6, Episode 9. His last scene will air in Episode 14 of Season 17 in just a couple weeks. If you’re fan of Kim Zolciak-Biermann, I hate to break it to you, but “Don’t Be Tardy” won’t be coming back for a 9th season. TMZ says Bravo decided the show had simply run its course. And the “Cinderella” musical starring Camila Cabello in her first acting role was supposed to open in theaters this summer. Sony has decided to release it on Amazon Prime Video instead. No word on the release date.

Some people are calling Ben Affleck and Matthew Perry creepy for daring to swipe right. Both men are on the Raya dating app, which was created for famous people who need love, too. Earlier this week, a woman named Nivine shared that she had matched with Ben Affleck, but then unmatched him because she thought it was a fake account. Ben decided to hit up Nivine in her DMs to prove it was really him, and she turned around and shared it on TikTok. Inspired by Nivine, another woman named Kate Haralson went on TikTok to post a video of her FaceTiming with Matthew Perry. She said this happened in May of last year when she was 19 and Matthew was 51. After matching on Raya, Matthew asked her if she’d like to move over to FaceTime and then suggested they play 20 Questions to get to know each other. Kate said Matthew didn’t ask her anything sexual, but she did feel uncomfortable at times, especially because he knew she was only 19 and didn’t seem to mind. Kate told Page Six, “”I feel like a lot of guys in Hollywood are talking to all these young girls and it’s something that I think a lot of people should be aware of.” Kate ended up taking the video down because Matthew was a nice guy and she felt bad. Chrissy Teigen thought what both these young women did was in poor taste. She tweeted, “I agree celebs shouldn’t be making these creepy desperate video replies on Raya but it’s tacky to release private messages. Ya both wrong, congrats.”
