Ever since Ariana Grande started working on Wicked in 2022, she has been working non-stop: filming multiple movies, promoting Wicked and Wicked For Good, releasing new music, and now she is on tour. Therefore, she has earned a break.
Grande was not planning on taking one. She was expected to start preparing for the West End’s Stephen Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George with Jonathan Bailey. But that is no longer happening. This is the second acting endeavor she has cancelled in a month. She also backed out of appearing in American Horror Story.
Her rep released this statement to People: “Ariana will be taking a step back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour [on September 1st].
“She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny. This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much.”
The singer has been criticized for her skeletal frame since she started promoting Wicked. However, it has gotten more severe since she started the tour and promoting her new album Petal.
Hopefully, she will get some much-deserved rest starting in a month.
Not only has she been going through a lot professionally, but she also lost her grandmother, went through a divorce, and a breakup in recent years.
It is unclear if the actress will promote Focker-in-Law, which is slated to be released around Thanksgiving—her third year in a row with a film coming out during the holiday. Maybe Thanksgiving should be her holiday, like Christmas is Mariah Carey’s.
Barbie saved David Zaslav from completely destroying Warner Bros by beating expectations at the Box Office. Therefore, it was a no-brainer that he ordered a sequel to the film.
That was 2023. And there is no sequel in the works. Now, we know why. Zaslav, who, for some reason, is still at WB, is too cheap to pay Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling what they want, according to The New York Times.
Without them, there is no movie. Without Zaslav, Warner Bros would be better off. Why and how is he still there?
Oh, and if a deal is not signed by December, Mattel gets the rights back. However, if they do, then they have to start over without the current people attached to the WB movie.
Ever since 1990, Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth were BFFs. However, it looks like Donna and Kelly will no longer hang out in Beverly Hills, 90210.
Yesterday, Spelling announced that she was leaving the podcast 9021OMG, which she co-hosted with Garth, effective immediately, and all she said was that she was focusing on other projects.
However, my first thought was that the two actresses are no longer friends. And today, TMZ confirmed it.
A source told them that this has been a few months in the making. That person added, “Jennie doesn’t ever check on Tori when she’s in the hospital, and has always been a pretty [rude] person. The relationship has taken its course.”
Let’s be honest; Jennie needs Tori more than the other way around. So I would expect that when the podcast where she rewatches old episodes of their nighttime soap ends, her career will end too.
Justice for Shannen Doherty and everyone else Jennie has reportedly wronged.
Timothy Olyphant was a guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers, and he once again proved why he needs his own talk show on a cable network. He is one of the top talk show guests out there.
In typical Olyphant fashion, he started off his appearance before Meyers even introduced him. How? By repeatedly interrupting Meyers’ intro of him. Not only did the star of Lucky The Five-Star Weekend, and who is filming Alien: Earth, talk during it, he also drew photos on the cue cards, giving the NBC host the finger in different ways.
So imagine how the interview went after that? Brilliantly! Because they were two friends ribbing on each other until the actor jokingly told his interviewer to “Shut the fuck up!” And yes, it was Justified for him to do so. See what I did there?
The two had drinks the night beforehand, and all I want them to do is go Day Drinking. It would be a laugh riot from the first sip to the last one.
On that note, you can watch all but one of the Seth Meyers Day Drinking episodes on Peacock.
Finally, yesterday was Meyers’ last new episode until September 21st, according to Late Nighter. They’d better have oxygen waiting for him when he has to recap all that happened while he was on vacation.
Earlier this week, we found out that Joe Miñoso, who plays Joe Cruz, is departing Chicago Fire at the beginning of season 15. Today, Deadline is reporting that he is not the only one who is leaving during this upcoming season.
Dermott Mulroney, who joined during season 13, will be departing early this season. The actor took a hiatus during season 14 to film season 2 of The Hunting Wives. So his departure is not that much of a surprise. But still disappointing because Chief Pascal became a well-liked character.
I have a feeling that next week, we will hear who will be departing Chicago Med. There will be departures…
Chicago One starts saving lives again on October 7th.
