Catching up with ‘Voice’ winner Chevel Shepherd – “We ended up leaving – I was supposed to be filming a movie and they canceled that because of coronavirus, and so my family and I left Florida early and started heading back,” she said. Shepherd said that she actually got a lot of work done during the shutdown – she and her band performed a virtual concert and she filmed a video for her song “The Letter,” (try to watch it without getting a lump in your throat), which is a single off her upcoming album. Despite the postponements and cancellations, Shepherd isn’t taking it easy: Her new album will be released soon and she is working on a Christmas album as well. – Read more at DurangoHerald

‘The Bachelor’: An Inside Look at Production on Matt James’ Season — Yes, in a Quarantined Bubble – “It was so interesting because Matt is not on the season of ‘The Bachelorette,’ and the reason why we take leads from a previous season is because you know them so well and we can predict which person he might like or not, but we just didn’t know at all, so it was really fun to watch him interact with everyone,” ABC Entertainment’s Rob Mills says of the first episode of the upcoming season. “And the women were so fantastic. It couldn’t have gone better.” While production on the season was gearing up as early as late September, Variety previously reported, cameras could not start rolling for a quite some time. After completely renting out a resort in Pennsylvania for production, the entire cast and crew were required to enter a quarantine period after traveling there. They are filming now, and expected to wrap around Thanksgiving. Extra female contestants were brought out to Pennsylvania, as well — just in case anyone tested positive and would need to be sent home. But all potential cast members ended up testing negative for COVID-19. – Read more at Variety
