Hamza Yassin 'most likely' to finish in top three of Strictly Come Dancing final

One of the surprisingly few movies hitting theaters over the Christmas holiday weekend - Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody - is not finding a warm welcome from critics.The first wave of reviews surfaced on Wednesday morning - just days before the film hits theaters on Friday, garnering just a 41% rating from the first 32 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.While many critics are praising the powerful performance of Naomie Ackie - who fans have bashed for looking nothing like the singer - as the famed singer, they are also bashing the formulaic story that lacks any depth.  Reviews are in: One of the surprisingly few movies hitting theaters over the Christmas holiday weekend - Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody - is not finding a warm welcome from criticsWhile many critics are praising the powerful performance of Naomie Ackie as the famed singer, they are also bashing the formulaic story that lacks any depth.  Critics: While many critics are praising the powerful performance of Naomie Ackie as the famed singer, they are also bashing the formulaic story that lacks any depth. One of the positive reviews is from Variety's Owen Gleiberman, who added this film felt like a different sort of biopic because Houston's struggles with substance abuse and her tumultuous marriage to Bobby Brown were always in the public eye, adding, 'Yet as you watch, you may realize how much there is to the story you didn’t know, and how transporting it is. 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody is the kind of lavishly impassioned all-stops-out biopic you either give into or you don’t — and if you do, you may find yourself getting so emotional, baby,' he added.

STRICTLY Come Dancing fans have noticed that Kai Widdrington was absent for much of the final. The pro dancer – who was partnered with Kaye Adams this series – was only briefly seen, despite all the other dancers and stars being part of the extravaganza.

HELEN Skelton couldn't help but take a cheeky swipe at Strictly Come Dancing while hosting Channel 5's Christmas On The Farm. The Countryfile presenter made it all the way to the final of this year's series of the hit BBC dance competition on Saturday with her dance partner Gorka Marquez.

GORKA Marquez has broken his silence after it was announced he would not be taking part in the live Strictly tour. The pro dancer, 32,  competed in this year’s competition with Helen Skelton, but she will be hitting the road with Kai Widdrington instead.

THE One Show took an awkward turn yesterday as Alex Jones scolded her co-star Harry Judd for spoiling the Strictly finale. The Welsh presenter, 45, and McFly star Harry Judd, 36, hosted the latest episode of the BBC entertainment programme.

Taking the stage in theaters at the tail end of 2022, the Whitney Houston biopic “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” is a crowd-pleasing homage to the life, legacy, and work of an icon who sold over 200 million records worldwide. One of the year’s last films is also one of the best as a shared theatrical experience.

Directed by Kasi Lemmons, written by Anthony McCarten, Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody is the new biopic on the singer’s life. Her history is full of dense material and naturally some things have to be left out for the sake of time, but 2.5 hours isn’t enough to do the story justice. The movie stars Naomi Ackie, Stanley Tucci, Nafessa Williams, and Ashton Sanders.

Kym Marsh has rubbished the Strictly Come Dancing 'fix' claims after Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal won the show last weekend.

Christmas weekend is definitely Avatar: The Way of Water‘s to win at the box office, however, how big or small that is remains the question especially this early in the week. At the bare minimum, the 20th Century Studios/Disney movie should secure $60M-$65M for the 3-day and $90M-$95M for the 4-day. That’s on par with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story which played into its second weekend in a year when Christmas fell on a Sunday. Avatar 2 made $16M yesterday, with a Sunday to Monday decline at -56% which was similar to Rogue One‘s -54%. Rogue One‘s first Monday was $17.5M. Some rivals won’t be surprised if Avatar 2 touches $100M over its four-day run. Through four days, Avatar 2 counts just over $150M.
