SHOWBIZ 'Pose,' Matt Bomer, 'Mr. Soul,' Lil Nas X, Halsey, Dave Koz

COMPILED BY ANDREW DAVIS

FX's award-winning series Pose is planning to return to production in October, Variety noted. Production on season three was halted in March due to the coronavirus outbreak in New York City and across the country. Set in New York City in the late 20th century, the drama series explores the city's Black and Latinx queer, gender-nonconforming ball culture.

The Boys in the Band star Matt Bomer recently revealed to Attitude magazine that coming out publicly in 2012 cost him several roles in film and TV, Out.com noted. "I came out at a time when it was very risky to do so; I had a studio film that was about to premiere, and a television series coming out. But to me it was more important to be my almost authentic self, both for my family, and for myself," Bomer said. The actor came out while accepting the New Generation Arts and Activism Award from the Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards.

Elliz Haizlip—the trailblazing gay Black host of the pioneering variety show Soul! ( 1968-73 )—is the focus of a new award-winning documentary, Mr. Soul, Out.com noted. Mr. Soul premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and won several awards on the festival circuit. For five years, Soul! carved a space for Black joy on television by celebrating Black culture, community, art, and life with an array of Black musicians, activists, and political luminaries like Sidney Poitier, Muhammad Ali, Cicely Tyson, James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Patti LaBelle, Roberta Flack and a young Stevie Wonder.

In a partnership with Adobe, award-winning LGBTQ singer Lil Nas X is asking fans to take a shot at designing cover art for his next single, Out.com noted. "This is not a drill," Lil Nas X says in a kickoff video for the contest. "This is the official announcement that I'm going to make a song based on your cover art that you're going to make with your official artistic talent. Did I mention that it's going to be extremely official?" See makeitcenter.adobe.com/2020/09/lil-nas-x-adobe.html .

In her major acting debut, singer-songwriter Halsey will co-star opposite Euphoria's Sydney Sweeney in The Player's Table, a TV series based on Jessica Goodman's bestselling debut novel They Wish They Were Us, Deadline noted. Set at an exclusive Long Island prep school, high school senior Jill Newman ( Sweeney ) works to uncover the truth about her best friend's death three years ago and the role she and her fellow "players"—members of the secret society that rules the school—may have had in it.

Out saxophonist Dave Koz shared his version of The Beatles' classic hit "Yesterday," a press release noted. Award-winning singer-songwriter Matt Cusson produced the track and contributed vocals, while Meshell Ndegeocello joined in on electric bass and Adam Hawley on electric guitar. The song is from Koz's forthcoming album, A New Day, set for release on Oct. 9—exactly 30 years and one day after the release of his self-titled debut album.

Actress Niecy Nash's announcement of her marriage to Jessica Betts marked the first time she had been publicly linked to a woman as a romantic partner—but Nash doesn't call it "coming out," Out.com noted, citing People. "I don't feel like my marriage is my coming out of anywhere, but rather a going into myself and being honest about who I love," she said. "[My marriage] has absolutely nothing to do with gender and it has everything to do with her soul."

Years after first going public with an alleged sexual assault by Kevin Spacey in the 1980s, Star Trek Discovery star Anthony Rapp is finally taking the House of Cards actor to court, Deadline reported. Rapp filed the verified complaint with an unidentified fellow plaintiff. Both teens at the time of the alleged assaults back in the Reagan Era, Rapp and the monikered "C.D." are seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages from much accused Oscar winner Stacey.

Jussie Smollett appeared in an Instagram Live conversation with author and activist Marc Lamont Hill, during which he spoke about the controversy around his alleged 2019 hate crime attack, the ongoing trial and the public response, Out.com noted. "It's been beyond frustrating, and I certainly am not going rogue," he said. "I'm still taking the advice of my attorneys and everything like that, but I don't really see, honestly, what staying quiet has really done, like, where it has gotten me. ... It's so much bigger than me." Ahead of the interview, Angela Davis, Danny Glover, Tiq Milan and more all signed an open letter standing in solidarity with Smollett.

To become anointed best picture by the Academy Awards, films will have to meet new inclusion and diversity standards, starting in 2024, USA Today noted. For the 96th Oscars in 2024, films vying for best picture must meet two out of four standards to be deemed eligible. The four standards dig into how films come to be, from the stories they tell to the executives who lead and market them while addressing gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity and disability.

Billy Eichner responded to Kirstie Alley's tweet that raged against the Oscars' new diversity requirements, Queerty noted. Out actor Eichner tweeted, "Honestly just doing what I can to get Kirstie Alley to block me again." The tweet is a reference to the time he and Alley, who endorsed Donald Trump in 2016, got into a Twitter spat over the 2017 shooting of U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise. Since attacking the Oscars for being more inclusive, Alley has walked back her criticism, saying she supports diversity and inclusion, but doesn't like when it's "mandated."

Halle Berry won't be working with Bryan Singer again any time soon, according to Queerty. The actress recently opened up about some of her career highs and lows, with Singer's X-Men films falling squarely in the latter category. "Bryan's not the easiest dude to work with," she told Variety. "I mean, everybody's heard the stories—I don't have to repeat them—and heard of his challenges, and what he struggles with." Singer has long been accused of grooming underage boys for sex, dangling Hollywood careers and hosting infamous parties. Elsewhere in the interview, Berry reflected on the rollercoaster experience of becoming the first ( and still only ) Black woman to win the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role, for 2002's Monster's Ball—only to have her career stall shortly after the victory.

Madonna opened up about the planned biopic of her life and career, which she is currently working on with Diablo Cody, the Academy Award-winning screenwriter of Juno, Yahoo! Entertainment noted. During a 65-minute video to her Instagram Live account, the "Holiday" singer revealed that the film will be about her "struggle as an artist trying to survive in a man's world as a woman, and really just the journey." Madonna also revealed that it won't be a musical, but will obviously include "a lot of music."

During a recent appearance on SiriusXM's Radio Andy, Paris Hilton opened up about her friendship with Britney Spears and shared her thoughts on singer Britney Spears' ongoing conservatorship, People.com noted. "I just love her so much," Hilton said. "I feel like if you are an adult, you should be able to live your life and not be controlled." When Andy Cohen asked Hilton if they'd seen each other, she replied, "I saw her this summer. We've had dinners, I saw her in Malibu," adding that she doesn't ask Spears about the conservatorship.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show, after ousting three top producers amid internal allegations of racial insensitivity and sexual misconduct, has scheduled its season-18 premiere for Monday, Sept. 21, according to Variety. "I can't wait to get back to work and back to our studio. And, yes, we're gonna talk about it," said DeGeneres in a statement, seemingly referring to the accusations. Tiffany Haddish will join DeGeneres in studio on the "Ellen" stage on the Warner Bros. lot, although it will film without an in-studio audience amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis. The show's first week back is slated to include guest appearances by Kerry Washington, Alec Baldwin and Chrissy Teigen.

He's now learned that "those people don't matter."

Jo Malone London, the British perfume and scented candle brand, apologized to John Boyega—who was last year named its first male global ambassador—for taking a personal video he made for them and reshooting it for the Chinese market, in the process removing not only Star Wars actor entirely but not featuring a single Black individual, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The company described its actions as a "misstep" that it said was "painful" and caused "offense." The new ad kept major elements of the original's script, but replaced Boyega with local actor Liu Haoran. Boyega didn't know of the change until after it was put on Twitter.
