Why Gillian Anderson Originally Threw the Sex Education Script Away. Sex Education without Gillian Anderson? It almost happened. Anderson plays Jean Milburn, a renowned sex therapist in her own right and mom to main character and on the sly student sex therapist Otis (Asa Butterfield), and originally The X-Files veteran wasn't into the show at all. "I read a teeny bit of the first episode and threw it in the bin," she told EW. "Initially I felt that it was too on the nose." In an interview with Elle, Anderson expanded on her initial reaction to the show and said, "The fact that she's a professional therapist and yet she's rummaging through her son's drawers and prying into his life? I kept saying, 'Is this too over the top? Is it just too unlikely that somebody could have such a different value system, and such a different moral framework, depending on the situation she's facing?'" But her partner, The Crown creator Peter Morgan, read it and told her she'd be crazy not to do the show. Two seasons and many glorious jumpsuits later, Anderson seems quite pleased with her role on the Netflix series. The Sex Education character is completely different from what American audiences recently saw Anderson in, whether it was reprising her role as Special Agent Dana Scully in the two-season The X-Files revival or dealing with serial killers in The Fall and Hannibal. Ahead of the first season premiere, Anderson told E! News she was always looking for something different in a role. "I guess my favorite thing about Jean is how inappropriate she is because it's just so much fun to do that," Anderson told E! News. "It's so much fun to be that mom who listens at the door and then pretends to be straightening up a picture on the wall, so I think probably that element of her." The second season of Sex Education found Jean in Otis' school, attempting to rehab the sex education curriculum. There, she learns about Otis' secret sex clinic, befriends the principal's wife and eventually has her notes on the sex-related questions posed by students exposed. She's kicked out, breaks up with her boyfriend and... learns she's pregnant. Sex Education has yet to officially be renewed for a third season, but with the number of cliffhangers involved, it seems inevitable. Series creator Laurie Nunn told The Hollywood Reporter the show has a long life -- in her mind. "... I think these characters...they've got legs. I think I could do some more with them if we're given the chance," she said. "[Netflix] is very supportive and really wanting us to tell the stories that we feel passionate about. It really feels like we're all on the same page, wanting to make the same show." Sex Education season two is now streaming on Netflix. (Eonline)
Why Tommy Chong Calls The Masked Singer an Actor's "Worst Nightmare" Is Too Good. The Masked Singer is a dream for some, a "nightmare" for others. The Fox singing competition features celebrities from all areas of fame, from sports figures to Broadway stars and everyone in between. Legendary singers such as Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight were contestants. T-Pain and Wayne Brady won the first two seasons. Other contestants have included Destiny's Child veteran Michelle Williams, Saturday Night Live and Broadway vet Ana Gasteyer, Seal, Adrienne Bailon, Raven-Symone, Joey Fatone, Ricki Lake, Tori Spelling and Margaret Cho. Comedian Tommy Chong was in the first season and was eliminated in the second episode, outlasting only Antonio Brown. While promoting a flick in an interview with EW, Chong reflected on his experience dressed as The Masked Singer's pineapple. "You know, visually, it was good for everybody, but as an actor, it was our worst nightmare, because we're hidden and no one knows who we are!" he laughed. The Masked Singer keeps everybody's identity hidden from the audience and panelists, including the incognito star's team. "Contrary to popular belief... we don't know who the contestants are. Nick Cannon, the host, doesn't know. It's like two separate productions in one and if we do ever have to cross paths, the contestants have to wear, like, black hoodie, black visors and a black T-shirt that says, 'Don't look at me,'" judge Ken Jeong told The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon. "Their whole squad, they have to wear masks just in case... let's say we would have the same agent or something like that. We don't know who anybody is," he added. The third season of The Masked Singer premieres after the Super Bowl with judges Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Jeong joined by Jamie Foxx. Every season they've predicted the Oscar winner has been under a mask, now they won't be able to do that. Cannon returns as host. The Masked Singer season three premieres Sunday, Feb. 2 on Fox.

Prince George Is Coming to TV -- with a Satirical (and Instagram-Inspired!) Twist. Orlando Bloom will voice Prince Harry in a new animated series. Prince George is coming to the small screen -- in cartoon form! HBO Max announced Tuesday that writer and producer Gary Janetti's satirical Instagram page has inspired The Prince, a new animated comedy series. The popular social media page -- which boasts nearly 900,000 followers -- spoofs the royal family from the perspective of 6-year-old Prince George (which an extra touch of attitude). While Janetti will voice the future king, some big names have signed on to voice his royal relatives. Orlando Bloom will give a voice to Prince Harry, Condola Rashad will play Meghan Markle, Lucy Punch as Kate Middleton, Tom Hollander as both Prince Philip and Prince Charles, Alan Cumming as George's butler Owen, Frances De La Tour as Queen Elizabeth and Iwan Rheon as Prince William. Janetti, who is known for his work on hit comedy series Will & Grace and Family Guy, said, "I'm thrilled to be working at HBO Max and bringing them yet another series about a family ruthlessly fighting for the throne." On top of voice acting, Janetti will write and executive produce the series. "We're so excited to bring the world Gary's created on Instagram over to HBO Max, where our viewers can discover what his Instagram fans already know -- that George can be hilarious, shocking, and surprisingly sweet," said Sarah Aubrey, head of original content, HBO Max. "We can't wait to see what Gary does with a bigger canvas to paint on than just a 1:1 square." HBO Max is also in business with Janetti on a series with him and husband Brad Goreski, currently titled Brad and Gary Go To... , which begins production in 2020. While Janetti's Prince George often targeted Aunt Meghan, the TV writer shifted to a more sympathetic approach to the Duchess of Sussex amid heightened media scrutiny in the U.K. this fall. "I haven't really watched [the ITV documentary], so I don't really know that much about it, but I do know it feels like they're having a rough go of it -- I think that's the gist," Janetti told PEOPLE two days after Harry & Meghan: An African Journey aired in the U.K. Meghan and Prince Harry's emotional documentary found the 38-year-old opening up about the stress of being a new mom in the public eye, saying in a viral clip that "not many people have asked if I'm okay." "The way I see it, in my world, she is family, they are family, and George rallies around family," Janetti says of his latest memes, including one where the fictionalized George tells Meghan they're going on a spa day together. "Now he sees that people and the press have piled on her, he doesn't like it, and he's rallying around the family. As of now, Meghan -- he wants to take her under his wing. Now we're seeing George might secretly like her. You know, he does not like to kick somebody when they're down." (People)
Netflix's doc about a Texas cheerleading program lacks professional shots of THE big competition, and that's the studio's own damn fault ... so says the gatekeeper to the event. Varsity Spirit -- which is briefly featured in the docuseries -- tells TMZ ... they did, in fact, shoot down Netflix's request to film the competition with their own cameras, but offered a compromise they insist Netflix wasn't interested in ... event footage from Varsity itself. ICYMI, the streaming giant's new docuseries, "Cheer," is all the rave ... but at one point -- SPOILERS AHEAD!!! -- producers switched to iPhones to capture the Daytona cheer tournament that their subjects, Navarro College's cheer team, work toward through 6 episodes. The reason (per Netflix) ... Varsity denied them access to film on the grounds. No official reason was offered, despite Varsity somewhat alluding to it. They spelled it out for us, however, and basically say they don't allow outside production teams to film during the proceedings, mostly to avoid unnecessary distractions for the athletes. As for why Netflix and co. allegedly turned down Varsity's own footage ... unclear. There is good news though for fans of the breakout series -- there seem to be signs of future installments. Varsity tells us they've been in talks with Netflix since this little headbutt -- and apparently, the two behemoths have already discussed working together again. In other words, more flyer, stunter and tumbler drama to feast your eyes on. As Jerry might say ... YASSSS, GET THAT B***H UP!!! (TMZ)

Yet, due to her Very Cavallari commitments, Cavallari didn't join Montag and Patridge for the 2019 reboot, titled The Hills: New Beginnings. Nonetheless, Cavallari has stayed close with her Hills peers, having once even joked about a crossover episode. "Heidi and I have joked about swapping an episode for an episode. I'll have to bring it up with E! and MTV," Cavallari once exclusively told E! News at the 2018 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas. "But yeah, I'm really excited for them. I can't wait to see it." We're sure Cavallari was thrilled to have her longtime pals in Nashville, especially as this season has detailed her falling out from BFF Kelly Henderson. "So excited to be in Nashville with @kristincavallari @audrinapatridge," Montag added on the picture sharing site. "Make sure you watch the @verycavallari episode we will be in coming up! You won't want to miss it!" While the specifics regarding Montag and Patridge's visit aren't currently clear, the two MTV stars went on to document a night out alongside Cavallari.

Then, during the third quarter of the game, the brand's official commercial will air, broadcasting Mr. Peanut's funeral. The 2020 Super Bowl kicks off in Miami on Sunday, Feb. 2. (Eonline)
