The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to be at loggerheads with Netflix over their documentary series – with rumours that bosses are refusing their requests to "tone down" some of its content. Sources claim Prince Harry and wife Meghan had "second thoughts" about the show following the Queen’s death and are now "panicked".The series, described as a revealing "at home with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex-style" show, has been in production for almost a year with them letting cameras follow them around.
Pat Saperstein Deputy Editor Sombreros, serapes and maracas, horrible pronunciations, jokes about Mexican stand-offs, and really strange-looking tacos — did the “Mexican Week” episode of “The Great British Baking Show” leave any stereotypical stone unturned? After a similar debacle with Season 11’s “Japanese Week,” the internationally beloved competition series — which streams on Netflix in the U.S. — apparently decided not to learn from its mistakes, and dove headlong into Mexican food. And since the competition is largely to determine who can create the best baked goods, many observers wondered, why were they attempting tacos, anyway? Even before the episode dropped on Oct. 7, the promos featuring sombrero-wearing hosts Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas came under fire from social media commenters — largely from the U.S., where finding a good taco is not as difficult as in the U.K. — who were quick to weigh in on the show’s utter failure to try to understand more than the most obvious characteristics of Mexican food and culture. Even the English-language plural of the word cactus eluded one of the contestants — not to mention the woman whose absolutely wretched try at guacamole sounded more like “glakeemolo.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might not get their way this time!
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly asked for "significant edits" to their upcoming Netflix show which could see the entire project "shelved indefinitely".
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly “having second thoughts” about ploughing ahead with their highly anticipated Netflix documentary, as they have raised concerns about the “tone” of the film in the wake of the Queen’s death.The couple are said to have wanted to make “extensive edits” to footage already shot, leaving the entire production in fear of being “shelved indefinitely.” Multiple sources confirmed the news to Page Six, just one month ahead of the documentary’s anticipated release in December. The streaming giant had originally planned to air the docuseries following the fifth series of The Crown which begins on November 9th.
Lurid mysteries abound in Chilean filmmaker Sebastián Lelio’s latest feature, “The Wonder.” Starring “Don’t Worry Darling” and “Little Women” Oscar nominee Florence Pugh as an nurse tasked with caring for an ailing 11-year-old girl who’s inexplicably not eaten in four months, the first trailer showcases an atmospheric, 19th century tale with eerie twists and turns as Pugh nurse, the girl’s family and the townspeople around them fights to determine the young girl’s secret. Per a logline from distributor Netflix, which debuted the film Sept.
Dancing with the Stars host Alfonso Ribeiro has addressed the criticism he faced over an "inappropriate" question he posed on the show. During the latest episode of the dance competition, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star asked actor Trevor Donovan and his professional dance partner Emma Slater if there was more to their rumba due to the pair's intense chemistry. Emma, 33, and Trevor, 43, had danced to Elvis Presley's Always on My Mind, with Alfonso asking if their chemistry during the routine was real or acting.
