The stars seem to be aligning, not in the cosmos, but in the promotional campaign for Ariana Grande’s latest album Eternal Sunshine. Last week, the musician announced “The Boy Is Mine” as the third single from the project and set June 3 as the release date for its official music video. In the lead up, Grande has mostly kept details about the Christian Breslauer-directed visual under wraps, while also hinting that not only is the boy hers, he might also be Penn Badgley.

Taylor Swift seems to be singing the praises of her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce.
The Grammy-winning superstar recently released her 16-track album, The Tortured Poets Department, and a deluxe version, The Anthology, with another 15 new songs.
Among the selections are what fans identified as a diss track about Kim Kardashian called thanK you aIMee.
However, Swift isn’t just singing about her exes, rivals, and public feuds; she’s also seemingly celebrating the love of her life.
In particular, Swift released two songs on her new albums: So High School and The Alchemy.

Grande’s grandmother Marjorie Grande (or Nonna to the world) posed for a photo with a massive plaque commemorating her accomplishment of becoming the oldest person to land a song on the Hot 100 thanks to Grande’s “Ordinary Things.”

Less than 24 hours after unveiling exclusive Wicked footage in Las Vegas, filmmaker Jon M. Chu found his way into the spotlight of another CinemaCon stage inside Caesars Palace, this time for a special luncheon in his honor at which he revealed secrets about filming the two-part epic musical.
“It was pretty magical last night,” Chu told The Hollywood Reporter’s co-editor-in-chief Nekesa Mumbi Moody, who moderated a fireside chat with the filmmaker after he was presented a trophy for cultural impact in filmmaking (by his In the Heights star Ariana Greenblatt). Chu has been in the editing room while managing a full household of four young children, so he said that being in Las Vegas where he could sleep and hang out with others, “I’m, like, ‘Let’s go.’”

There’s no place like CinemaCon for Universal to debut enchanting new footage for Jon M. Chu’s adaptation of Wicked! On Wednesday, the studio dropped a house on the CinemaCon crowd at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, helping Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, to tell her side of a misunderstood story.
During Universal’s CinemaCon presentation, the studio surprised the crowd by activating lanyards and roses given out before the presentation. Like magic, the objects lit up, flashing different colors as the theater filled with music. When the Great and Powerful Oz showed up, the lights interacted with his entrance. Jeff Goldblum is Oz, and he took the stage to introduce the film. “I’ll be a ringtail flying monkey if that’s not the biggest flying cranium I’ve seen in my life,” Goldblum quipped about his character.

One year after debuting the first look of Wicked at CinemaCon, Universal Pictures brought members of the magical crew to Las Vegas on Wednesday to light up the festivities once again, with the team including filmmaker Jon M. Chu and his leading ladies, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, who had the honor of introducing exclusive footage for theater owners.
It was an emotional presentation for the Wicked team as Chu was moved to tears as he recounted finding the two performers to topline the film, and later Grande also got choked up as well.
The electric presentation — which featured on stage remarks from cast members such as Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Jonathan Bailey, Chu and producer Marc Platt — was telegraphed from the start as Colosseum staffers handed out Wicked lanyards to attendees when they walked into the theater.

“Wicked” stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo traveled to Las Vegas for CinemaCon, the annual convention for movie theater owners.
Dressed in their character’s signature pink and green aesthetic, the Grammy-nominated artists graced the stage at Caesars Palace to hype up “Wicked,” the big-budget movie musical that’s due in theaters around Thanksgiving.
“We both felt such a tremendous responsibility to honor these women and to pour our hearts, our souls, our tears — so many different pairs of lashes,” said Grande, who requested to hold hands with her co-star on stage. Erivo added, “I’m really grateful for this journey that we’ve taken together.”
Though they didn’t sing (to the disappointment of many in the room), they introduced an extended featurette. Scored to “Popular” and “Defying Gravity,” the dazzling footage showcased the sweeping, brightly lit world and includes scenes of Elphaba roaming the halls of Shiz University...

Universal ended its CinemaCon presentation with Wicked last year, and they continued to beat the drum for director Jon M. Chu’s feature take of the Broadway musical with a colorful spectacle. Every attendee at Caesars Colosseum was given a faux tulip that lit up in varying colors, in particular pink and green, creating a great visual before Jeff Goldblum aka the Wizard took the stage to introduce Chu and producer Marc Platt.
Chu regaled: “I was a Silicon Valley kid, and as a matter of luck, I was there when Wicked was workshopped in San Francisco. I’ll never forget it; it imprinted on me permanently.”
He was joined by Michelle Yeoh and Jonathan Bailey. Yeoh praised Chu for casting her in roles in which the filmmaker “knows her so well.”
But the big surprise came when the witches themselves, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, stepped on stage.

Ariana Grande has finalized her divorce from Dalton Gomez, a 28-year-old real estate broker.
After nearly four years together, two of which they were married, the couple decided to separate. The divorce was concluded earlier this month in the Los Angeles Superior Court.
The couple had signed a prenuptial agreement and agreed on the split’s details before arriving in court to ensure an amicable legal split.
The 30-year-old singer settled the case with her now ex-husband in October 2023, but she had to wait six months for the judge’s order to take effect.
Grande net worth is reportedly over $240 million.
Gomez will get a lump sum payment of $1.25 million from Grande but will not seek future alimony. Grande gave her ex-husband half of the proceeds from the sale of their Los Angeles home and will pay up to $25,000 towards his attorney fees.

Fans of the 2010s Nickelodeon sitcom Victorious are likely familiar with the long-standing rumor surrounding a supposed feud between costars Victoria Justice and Ariana Grande.
Justice played the main character, Tori Vega, in the Nickelodeon show, whereas Grande portrayed Cat Valentine, one of Tori’s quirky and lovable friends. No matter what wacky situation Cat gets into, Tori’s always there for her. Likewise, Cat’s enthusiasm and loyalty are a constant source of support for Tori.

While our racetrack odds projected a close race for number-one between Ariana Grande (“Eternal Sunshine“) and Justin Timberlake (“Everything I Thought It Was”), it actually turned out to be a fight between Grande and Kacey Musgraves (“Deeper Well“), with only 3,500 album units making the difference between first and second place.

The View co-hosts took sides today on whether former child stars should be expected to speak out when other child stars reveal allegations of sexual abuse, with today’s moderator Joy Behar kicking off the debate by asking, “Do you think that it’s fair to bully these other people into speaking out, because that’s what’s going on [with Nickelodeon] right now.”
The Hot Topic segment was raised after this week’s incident in which fans of Drake Bell criticized his former Drake & Josh co-star Josh Peck for seeming to stay quiet after Bell revealed in a TV documentary that he had been sexually assaulted at 15 by a dialogue coach.
Both Bell and Peck subsequently stated that Peck had in fact reached out directly and privately to Bell. Peck then posted an Instagram message supporting his co-star.

If you have been following the latest entertainment news, you may have been privy to the fact that a movie adaptation of the popular Broadway musical Wicked is in the works. Although a lot of fans were expecting some acclaimed celebrities to take on the iconic roles of Elphaba and Glinda, the casting decisions may cause a few to raise their eyebrows.
Instead of casting megastars such as Jennifer Lopez, Renee Rapp, Katy Perry, Amanda Seyfried, Dove Cameron, Lea Michele, or even the Jonas Brothers, the production team chose lesser-known actors for the lead roles.

The upcoming Wicked musical movie doesn’t use canned vocals, director Jon M. Chu says.
Both Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande insisted on singing live during the production of his big-screen adaptation of the stage show. Their vocals will be used in the finished version of the film.
“These are live vocals,” Chu told Vanity Fair. “When we were shooting it, those girls were like, ‘F— the pre-records. We’re going live.'”
Chu was hesitant, telling his stars that there would be “a lot of wind” in their air pipes while performing and singing at the same time. But Grande and Erivo persisted, telling the filmmaker, “‘Yeah. That’s what we do.'”
Grande has long sought to be in a film version of the Broadway musical. She admitted to “stalking” the audition process, which Chu noticed.

“Wicked” director Jon M. Chu confirmed in a new interview with Vanity Fair that his leading ladies Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo sang live on set, similar to how other movie musicals such as “La La Land” and “Les Miserables” were filmed. Studios often rely on pre-recorded tracks when filming musical numbers, which requires performers to lip-synch along on set. Grande and Erivo were not interested in this traditional method.
“These are live vocals,” Chu said. “When we were shooting it, those girls were like, ‘Fuck the pre-records. We’re going live.’”
Chu remembered telling them that singing live on set meant “there’s going to be a lot of wind in your air pipes. Is that okay?” He said the actors responded with confidence, saying, “Yeah. That’s what we do.”

Ariana Grande’s “Eternal Sunshine” has been somewhat of a surprise smash hit, right? While Grande has always been a huge star, it did seem like her star power had been gradually decreasing since her 2020 release, “Positions,” which did well by any pop star’s standards, but was a bit muted in the long run compared to her previous blockbuster “Thank U, Next.” Grande then faced public scrutiny in 2023 due to rumors surrounding her and “Wicked” co-star Ethan Slater, with speculation that Slater was still married and with a newborn child when he and Grande began a relationship. While those stories have been challenged, there was still the possibility of damage to her career.

That was not the case though. “Eternal Sunshine” debuted with 227,000 units in its first week in the US alone, more than 50,000 units better than her last album.

When audiences see Wicked on the big screen, director Jon M. Chu promises to expect live vocals.
In a preview with Vanity Fair, the director shared that both Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo insisted on singing live during the production. Grande stars as Glinda, opposite Erivo’s Elphaba in the film.
“These are live vocals,” Chu said. “When we were shooting it, those girls were like, ‘Fuck the pre-records. We’re going live.’ ”
Despite feeling skeptical and questioning the decision (“There’s going to be a lot of wind in your air pipes. Is that okay?” he recalled asking), Chu said the stars “didn’t miss a beat” and said, “Yeah. That’s what we do.”
While performing “Defying Gravity,” Erivo “had a harness pulling and pushing and yanking and tugging on every nook and cranny that there is,” Grande described. Meanwhile, Erivo said of Grande: “I’m literally never...

The Broadway musical Wicked will be getting its cinematic adaptation this year. The musical has been divided into two parts, with Part One set to be released on November 27, 2024. It stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo in the lead roles, playing Galinda Upland and Elphaba Thropp respectively. The story acts as a prequel to The Wizard of Oz.
Director Jon M. Chu mentioned that the actresses got along really well on set. He said that he chose to not depend on excessive CGI and wanted actual sets. Chu also said that the two were extremely committed to their roles, with the actresses going as far as delivering live vocals while filming instead of the usual practice of lip-syncing to pre-recorded songs.

‘Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV’ Recirculated the Exploitative Material It Was Meant to Stop
Accused of fostering a dangerous and sexualizing workplace for kid actors when he was a lead creative at Nickelodeon, Dan Schneider is finally calling for cuts. It’s too bad the disturbing material the ex-showrunner claims he suddenly wants removed from old episodes of “The Amanda Show,” “All That,” and more problematic kids’ programs just re-aired over two nights at primetime on Investigation Discovery.
The sometimes-salacious true crime exposé “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV” inadvertently raises an important ethical conundrum: In the name of exposing and confronting objectionable material, is it acceptable to air it again — even in documentary?
“It’s a complicated question,” activist Alexa Nikolas told IndieWire. The grown-up “Zoey 101” actress is one of numerous former child stars who spoke out about Schneider for the project. She’s also the founder of the Eat Predators movement, an initiative forged to end sexual abuse,...

Ariana Grande’s career has been an interesting one as she has constantly shifted mediums and avenues to showcase her talent. She might be a multi-Grammy award-winning pop artist now but she had humble beginnings like many other artists. While music was her passion, she debuted on Broadway with the musical 13 in 2008.

Dan Schneider ruled the 90s and early 2000s television; producing and directing one hit show after another. Schneider’s shows like, The Amanda Show, together with sitcoms Kenan & Kel, Drake & Josh, Zoey 101, iCarly, and Victorious gave the industry some of its biggest names.
However, Schneider’s golden era went downhill very quickly when many stars stepped out during the MeToo moment. It is not lost on the masses that many have stayed tight-lipped on the matter. The most prominent name on that list is Ariana Grande’s.

Playing the role of Cat Valentine on the popular Nickelodeon show Victorious, it is highly probable that Grande might have witnessed something untoward if she did not have that happen to her. Hence, her silence on the matter has always been strange. Fans have all sorts of theories and guesses for why she might have stayed mum.

Ariana Grande and her ex-husband Dalton Gomez are officially divorced.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judgment dissolving their marriage of nearly three years became official Tuesday according to the Associated Press. The 30-year-old singer and 28-year-old real estate broker separated more than a year ago and had no children or pre-nuptial agreement in place.
As reported by the Associated Press, settlement terms were agreed upon in October and required a six month waiting period before the judge’s order could take effect. Settlement terms included Grande making a onetime payment of $1,250,000 to Gomez with no future alimony, giving him half of the proceeds of the sale of their Los Angeles home and paying up to $25,000 toward his attorneys’ fees.

20 years later, and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” hasn’t been remotely forgotten. Michel Gondry’s science fiction romance has, if anything, enjoyed renewed attention in 2024, thanks to the release of musician Ariana Grande’s “Eternal Sunshine” album. Grande, famously a fan of the film’s leading man Jim Carrey, referenced the film both in the album’s title song, and a music video that fully recreated the mind-wiping film’s romantic storyline for the single “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait For Your Love)”. The tributes came just weeks before the film’s March 19 anniversary, and hopefully should lead to one of the 21st-century’s greatest romance films getting even more fans.
Directed by Gondry from a screenplay by Charlie Kaufman, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” premiered in theaters March 19, 2004, to immediate acclaim from critics. Melancholic, strange, and heartbreakingly beautiful, the film stars Carrey as Joel, an...

But will it return him to the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart?

One of the biggest influences on Ariana Grande’s new album, Eternal Sunshine, turns out be the Beatles’ Rubber Soul. That inspiration isn’t exactly instantly evident within the album’s sleek production and Max Martin-assisted songwriting, but Grande said in an advance listening session for journalists that she had John, Paul, George, and Ringo in mind as she stuffed it full of unexpected melodic twists and half-buried ear candy.

Pairing the gown with a gorgeous pink diamond necklace from Tiffany & Co. and matching earrings, the singer set the event on fire.

While the Barbie cast opted for black instead of pink on the Oscars red carpet, Ariana Grande repped the bubblegum shade in a billowing Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown.
Styled by Mimi Cuttrell, the Wicked star channeled her character, Glinda, in a dramatic ruched column dress embellished with a layered cloud-like train. (Grande’s arms were hidden beneath the oversized layers in what appeared to be a very comfy giant pocket.) She finished the look with white gold pendant earrings and a necklace, both finished by pink stones, by Tiffany & Co.
The “Yes, And?” singer kept the focus on her fashion with her signature beauty look: a sleek cat-eye and a tight ponytail with finished with loose curls.

The Giambattista Valli ensemble follows a slew of Grande’s good witch-inspired looks. She recently wore an airy pink ribbon dress by Balenciaga that was finished with an oversized bow.

Ariana Grande published a message on Saturday asking fans to stop sending “hateful messages to the people in my life” following the release of her album, Eternal Sunshine.
“i just wanted to say anyone that is sending hateful messages to the people in my life based on your interpretation of this album is not supporting me and is absolutely doing the polar opposite of what i would ever encourage,” Grande wrote in an Instagram story.
The pop star added that the fan messages are “entirely misinterpreting the intention behind the music.”
Grande’s seventh album, released Friday, explores facets of personal relationships and individual growth, and comes on the heels of a year when her love life dominated the news. Grande and her ex-husband, Dalton Gomez, filed for divorce in September 2023. Around the same time, she was reportedly romantically linked to her Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater.

In addition to performing two songs as musical guest, Ariana Grande popped up in a couple sketches on the latest episode of Saturday Night Live, including one that poked fun at Moulin Rouge!
The sketch recreated scenes from the 2001 movie musical, with Grande portraying Nicole Kidman’s Satine and Bowen Yang as Ewan McGregor’s Christian. The original Baz Luhrmann film took contemporary pop songs, mashed them up, and placed them 1900 Paris. The SNL sketch also did that, but to the extreme, using Grande’s vocal talents to create ridiculous musical mash-ups.

If coughing blood into a napkin is “movie for dying,” Ariana Grande and Bowen Yang pairing up for a musical mashup is “Saturday Night Live for funny.” And funny it was!
In this weekend’s spoof of Moulin Rouge, the 2001 film starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, musical guest Grande joined Yang in a never-before-seen, uncut version of the film’s iconic love medley. The extended mashup started off the same as the actual film’s, but quickly segued into a particularly giggly Yang and Grande duetting a bizarre collection of mostly unrelated, unromantic songs including “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!
