Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Wicked was the most talked-about movie of 2024, and the sequel is just as anticipated! So NBC is cashing in on that in November before Wicked: For Good flies into movie theaters on its broomstick on November 21st.

In November, NBC will be airing a live concert special featuring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, along with guest stars, singing the show-stopping numbers from the first movie, and previewing some from the second film.

Director John M. Chu made the announcement today at NBC’s Upfront presentation in New York City.

Wicked is streaming on Peacock with an optional sing-along version!

RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars is back for season 10, and they are changing things up for the milestone season!

For the first time ever, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars will introduce a brand-new format across twelve episodes: the Tournament of All Stars. The queens will be divided into three groups of six, each competing in their own bracket across three episodes. At the end of each bracket, the top three queens with the highest point totals will advance to the semi-finals, where they’ll go head-to-head with the top queens from the other groups in another round of fierce competition over two episodes. The tournament will then culminate in an epic Lip Sync Smackdown for the Crown grand finale episode, where the finalists will battle it out for a grand prize of $200,000 and a place in the coveted Drag Race Hall of Fame.

And if it is going to be the 10th season, then you better have some judges that make the Queens want to work, and they do. The guest judges include Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Colman Domingo, Kate Beckinsale, Ice Spice, Chappell Roan, Susanne Bartsch, Adam Shankman, Jamal Sims, Mayan Lopez, Devery Jacobs, and Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Who are this season’s All Stars? They are Acid Betty, Aja, Alyssa Hunter, Bosco, Cynthia Lee Fontaine, Daya Betty, DeJa Skye, Denali, Ginger Minj, Irene the Alien, Jorgeous, Kerri Colby, Lydia B Kollins, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, Nicole Paige Brooks, Olivia Lux, Phoenix, and Tina Burner.

The first two episodes will stream on May 9th.

On Victorious, Cat Valentine and Jade West did not always get along. However, 15 years after Ariana Grande and Elizabeth Gillies started playing frenemies, they are still the best of friends.

So much so that they had a wicked reunion when the Oscar nominee came out to see Gillies as Audrey in the Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors.

This isn’t the first time the two of them have been in a Broadway theater together. They both starred in the stage version of Thirteen before they worked on the Dan Schneider teen sitcom.

Grande is not the only Victorious co-star to support Gillies. Avan Jogia, Daniella Monet, and Matt Bennett also stopped by to sing along with her.

Talking about singing, Grande sang (my favorite version of) Suddenly Seymour with Seth MacFarlane on Carpool Karaoke in 2017.

The Oscars are Sunday night, and the nominees got together to break bread yesterday. Around 170 people gathered at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures to enjoy a cocktail reception and private dinners.

When all of that was done, it was time to take the annual class photo. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo were front and center, while Demi Moore and Edward Norton were in the last row. And then there is Timothée Chalamet, who was doing a Where is Waldo because he was hiding out. Look for the mustache to find him.

One person who was missing in the photo is controversial nominee Emilia Pérez’s Karla Sofía Gascón. And I am sure no one had a problem with that.

This event was originally scheduled as a lunch on February 10th. However, it was postponed due to the Palisades and Altadena fires.

This Sunday is the Oscars, and you know what that means. That means Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, will be coming out to Los Angeles to host Live After the Oscars on Monday morning on ABC.

Part of that special includes the hosts and crew of Live with Kelly and Mark dressing up as different characters from the Oscar-nominated movies.

Ripa gave us a sneak peek, and she transformed into Ariana Grande’s Glenda. And the hair and makeup department did some sort of spell on her that I honestly don’t know if that is Hayley Vaughan or Cat Valentine.

If Grande ever needs someone to fill in for her, she can ask Ripa to step in for her, at least while she remains a blonde.
