Barry Manilow Comes Out as Gay at 73, That's So Raven spin-off, The Purge TV Show, Alec Baldwin Drama, La La Land Promposal

Barry Manilow has given his first major interview about his 39-year-relationship with his manager/husband, Garry Kief. Speaking to People, the “Mandy” singer reveals he worried that coming out would have a detrimental effect on his loyal fans. “I thought I would be disappointing them if they knew I was gay. So I never did anything,” says Manilow. Thankfully, the singer discovered that when news of his marriage to Kief broke in 2015, the reaction was positive. “When they found out that Garry and I were together, they were so happy,” he says. “The reaction was so beautiful–strangers commenting, ‘Great for you!’ I’m just so grateful for it.” WATCH INTERVIEW HERE

A Hollywood producer has slammed Alec Baldwin for claiming that he had no idea that his co-star Nikki Reed was underage when they shot the R-rated 2006 indie film Mini’s First Time. In the movie, Baldwin played a man having an affair with his stepdaughter, played by Reed. “I was 47, and it never occurred to me to ask how old Nikki Reed was,” Baldwin writes in his new memoir Nevertheless. “When I found out, just as we finished, that she was 17, I flipped out on the producers, who had told me something different.” None of that is true, says producer Dana Brunetti, who has worked on the Fifty Shades franchise and House of Cards. “My first indie film was Mini’s starring @AlecBaldwin who knew @NikkiReed_I_Am was 16 (not 17) and he didn’t mind,” Brunetti tweeted. “In fact (Reed) was one of four actresses (Baldwin) had approved and her being the only one of those four ripped by his own agency CAA.” Three other crew members have backed up Brunetti’s statement. The producer later tweeted, “To @AlecBaldwin’s benefit, he has been impersonating Trump a lot, so maybe there was a bit of method acting when writing his book?” He concluded his rant by writing, “To to summarize, @AlecBaldwin knew NikkiReed_I_Am was 16, didn’t find out AFTER filming, and did not yell at us.”

(1) My first indie film was Mini's starring @AlecBaldwin who knew @NikkiReed_I_Am was 16 (not 17) and he didn't mind https://t.co/aZ3KyeIiyC

(2) in fact @NikkiReed_I_Am was 1 of 4 actresses @AlecBaldwin had approved and her being the only 1 of those 4 repped by HIS own agency CAA.

(3) the only time @AlecBaldwin ever yelled at me was on the phone and it was about one of the producers who worked with the financier.

— Dana Brunetti ??? (@DanaBrunetti) April 5, 2017

(4) The films director @NickGuthe said "We liked the idea that b/c it meant we couldn't be pressured into shooting scenes w/nudity"

— Dana Brunetti ??? (@DanaBrunetti) April 5, 2017

(5) continued… "which was a real issue with the subject matter and the rather unusual cast of character we were dealing with."

(6) but to @AlecBaldwin's benefit, he has been impersonating Trump a lot, so maybe there was a bit of method acting when writing his book?

— Dana Brunetti ??? (@DanaBrunetti) April 5, 2017

(7) And I have just received 3 other message from crew and other producer stating that he knew how old @NikkiReed_I_Am was during filming.

— Dana Brunetti ??? (@DanaBrunetti) April 5, 2017

(8) if @AlecBaldwin had simply said in his book he didn't know @NikkiReed_I_Am's age, I would let it go.

— Dana Brunetti ??? (@DanaBrunetti) April 5, 2017

(9) however to say that when he found out after filming he yelled at the producers (I being 1 on the film) makes it out to seem we did wrong

— Dana Brunetti ??? (@DanaBrunetti) April 5, 2017

(10) So to summarize, @AlecBaldwin knew NikkiReed_I_Am was 16, didn't find out AFTER filming, and did not yell at us.

— Dana Brunetti ??? (@DanaBrunetti) April 5, 2017

(11) UNLESS @AlecBaldwin saw @KevinSpacey some event after and yelled at him?? Though that would be wrong too, because again, Alec knew.

That’s So Raven is officially getting a spin-off!

Last year Raven announced that she was leaving The View to go and join the cast of the That’s so Raven sequel. The spinoff will star original cast members Raven and Chelsea, both divorced single mothers, raising their children.

According to Deadline Hollywood, Raven has 11-year-old twins Booker and Nia, in the storyline one of these twins has inherited Ravens trait of catching glimpses of the future. Along side the twins will be Chelsea’s 9 – year – old son Levi.

“There is only one Raven – and for over 25 years, she has blessed audiences around the world with the greatest gift of all – the pure, unadulterated joy of laugh-out-loud funny. After being a part of over 20 different Disney projects, we are thrilled to be bringing Raven home to Disney Channel once again,” said Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer, Disney Channels Worldwide.

No release date as of yet.

A 17-year-old boy in Phoenix, Arizona, has asked Emma Stone to prom via an epic La La Land-themed music video. The Arizona Republic reports that budding filmmaker Jacob Staudenmaier, a self-described Ryan Gosling-lookalike, recreated the film’s opening number “Another Day of Sun” with help from several of his friends for a promposal that has since gone viral. In the clip, Staudenmaier roams through a fake traffic jam on foot while wearing a tuxedo and sunglasses while singing about taking Scottsdale native Stone to the prom. While Staudenmaier hopes to land the Oscar-winner as his date, he has secured a backup for the April 29 event just in case.

The popular Purge movie series is going to become a TV show.

The movies take place in an America where citizens are allowed to commit crimes without legal consequences for a twelve hours once a year
