Vegas icon Carrot Top talks Adele's postponed residency: 'Who the hell is ready?' - Fox News

Carrot Top is offering his two cents on Adele's postponed Las Vegas residency.

The 33-year-old singer-songwriter was set to open a residency at Caesars' Palace last month but announced just a day before opening night that the show wasn't ready due to delays caused by coronavirus and postponed the residency.

Rumors have since circulated that the delay was due to Adele's relationship turmoil causing her distress, but the singer has yet to directly address such speculation.

Now, standup comedian and Vegas icon Carrot Top has addressed the ordeal in an interview with Allison Kugel on her podcast "Allison Interviews."

"Putting on a show, even my little show, it takes a lot. Also, I’ve been lucky because I’ve been doing mine for sixteen years, so we kind of got it down," he conceded. "We know what we are doing. We have production. We have lights, smoke and fog, but it’s a lot of work to put on a production, especially one of that magnitude and with her name."

Born Scott Thompson, Carrot Top also noted that "there’s a lot of pressure to put on a nice show" in the city known for elaborate and long-running performances from big names like Celine Dion, Criss Angel and more.

While Carrot Top said he isn't sure exactly what caused the show to be postponed, the comedian shared that he's worked jokes about the ordeal into his own show.

"I make fun of that. I re-show the clip when she says, ‘I’m sorry, I wasn’t ready.’  And I say, ‘Ready? Who the hell is ready? I haven’t been ready in thirty-six years. We do this every night not ready. There is no such thing,’" he joked. "That’s what life’s about. Don’t book a show, b---h."

He said that if the show was genuinely postponed because of COVID, Adele should "stick to that."

"Just say, ‘Half of our crew has COVID, and we couldn’t rehearse, so we weren’t ready in that regard,’" the star advised. "That would have been better than saying, ‘I wasn’t ready.’ I’m surprised her people didn’t say to her, ‘Don’t say we’re not ready.’"

Elizabeth Hurley says it was a ‘nightmare’ working with Matthew Perry amid actor's addiction - Fox News

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her...
