In case you haven’t heard, Cynthia Erivo is playing Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, in the spectacular movie musical Wicked, which comes out on Friday! And if you didn’t know, Elphaba is green.
Over the last few months, Universal has been doing a media blitz for the film, which feels like an old-school event in so many different ways.
Today, in my opinion, the most brilliant promotion for the feature was revealed. Cynthia Erivo took the Yellow Brick Road to Sesame Street and sang It’s Not Easy Bein’ Green with Oscar the Grouch! And he even had to smile when he heard her angelic voice sing the updated lyrics to Kermit the Frogs song!
Let’s be honest: this election is very stressful. So, Elmo has a message for us to get through what will be a hellish next few days, “Stop scrolling, take a deep breath, and use the next few minutes to escape to a place where the air is sweet. ” Amen!
If you can’t get to Sesame Street, then you can do what I am doing. I am watching musicals and disaster movies for the next few days.
Andrew Garfield took a trip to where the air is sweet and had a heart-to-heart discussion with Elmo.
Sesame Street’s most famous resident wanted to know how the actor was doing. He told Elmo that he was missing his mom, Lynn, who died in 2019 from pancreatic cancer.
Then he explained that, in a way, it is a gift to miss someone because it shows how much you loved them. By missing her, he feels close to her because he remembers all the joy she brought into his life and those around her.
So, he is going to celebrate her while he is missing her. And now I am missing my parents because of the beautiful way that Garfield explained it to Elmo.
Larry David was on the Today show today, and he did something that stunned many—and left others envious.
What did he do? He beat up Elmo. That’s right. He smothered and punched the beloved Sesame Street resident live on the air.
Poor Elmo was on the morning news program to ask people how they feel. And, like the responses to his tweet this week, he is not doing well.
Hopefully, Elmo is doing better now because the Curb Your Enthusiasm star apologized to the muppet, who likes to be tickled as compared to punched.
And David is a bigger man than Justin Timberlake. The Dick without a Box introduced his song Cry Me a River yesterday by saying, “I’d like to take this opportunity…to apologize…to absolutely fucking nobody.”
Oh, he will be apologizing to fucking everybody because his record and concert sales are going to tank. And even another shitty *NSYNC song is not going to save his sorry fucking ass without him learning to say I am sorry.
Disney+ finally let Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem’s story be told. But today, they decided to close the chapter on the Emmy-nominated The Muppets Mayhem after only one season, according to TV Line.
Part of me wonders if the show would’ve gotten a second season if they dropped a new episode every week instead of the whole season at once. I believe that one-day binges hurt a series’ viewership numbers. What do you think?
And are you as upset as I am that the band played their final song? Tell me in the comments.
