Here are some photos from last night?s New York premiere of Wicked. This was much more muted than I expected, especially considering the wild popularity of Wicked?s Broadway run. It?s almost like the studio has suddenly dialed back the premieres and promotion because they?re worried about it now? Something else I was thinking about recently is that both Ariana and Cynthia have reputations for being a bit prickly, so it?s sort of amazing that they?ve kept this show on the road and still manage to be so friendly. Even more than friendly I really buy that they?ve become close friends. There are zero rumors (that I?ve seen) of any beefs or fights or ?please don?t make me pose next to her again.?
Fashion notes: Ariana?s pink/fuschia dress is Louis Vuitton, and Cynthia?s ensemble is Dior. I actually love Cynthia?s look. That?s one of the best ensembles she?s worn for the whole promotion. Ari?s LV is so meh. You know they planned out everything and the stylists were coordinating and all of that, so why are Ariana?s custom pieces so overwhelmingly blah? Also: Cynthia changed into a different all-black ensemble and it?s a really great look too (and I think it?s Dior as well).
Some clips and Wicked vocals have already started to come out online, to mixed reviews. I?ll say this? Ariana has the vocal range to pull this off.

As I get older, I get more and more disturbed by grown women who put on ?baby voices? or breathy little-girl voices. It irritates me to no end. Back in June, Ariana Grande did just that within a podcast interview she spoke in her normal, deeper speaking voice and then, within seconds, she quickly phased in her breathy little-girl voice. Here?s that clip:
When people were like ?wait, this is crazy,? Ariana clapped back and said that she changes her voice like that to protect it, because she?s a singer. Many singers or vocal performers chimed in and backed her up, saying that this is a real thing that singers do to ?protect their voices.? Now Ariana is expanding on that:
Ariana Grande has no tears left to cry over criticism of her voice. In fact, the Grammy winner doesnt think its a big deal that she can switch between two different accents. Approaching a viral video of her changing vocal inflections with a yes, and? attitude, Ariana noted that the shift is a normal thing people do, especially if you have a large range.?
?I did just spend a long time playing a character every single day,? Ariana said on the July 9 episode of the Shut Up Evan podcast, referring to her role as Glinda in the upcoming Wicked movie musical. Muscle memory is a real thing.
The 31-year-old also pointed out how there seems to be a double standard when male actors unintentionally stay in character after filming.
Sure, people make jokes here and there as well, but it?s always after the fact, ?Oh wow, how dedicated to his craft! What an amazing transformation! He?s a brilliant performer!' she continued. ?But then it?s like, god forbid I sneeze like Glinda.
[From E! News]
There?s actually not a double standard when Austin Butler was still doing his Elvis voice two years after filming, it was a huge conversation and he was absolutely criticized for it. Same with Tom Hardy?s stupid Bane voice. There are no male vocalists who put on a sexy-baby voice to protect their vocal chords either, but I will acknowledge that Ariana probably has a bigger vocal range than most male singers. Anyway, if singers tell me that this is totally a legit way to protect their voices, so be it, and I agree that people should go easier on Ari. But I do think it?s a mix of ?protecting her voice? and ?creating a girlish sexy-baby facade.?

| | Ariana Grande criticized for naming Jeffrey Dahmer as her dream dinner date | | Added 173 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Ariana Grande recently appeared on Penn Badgley?s Podcrushed podcast. That was where she dramatically changed her entire voice in a matter of seconds. Well, people are still going through the whole interview and they found a particularly problematic section where Ari talked about her youthful obsession with serial killers. One serial killer in particular: Jeffrey Dahmer, who killed 17 people (that we know about).
Ariana Grande had a fascination with Jeffrey Dahmer when she was younger, and the admission is rattling some of her fans. The Eternal Sunshine singer was a guest on Penn Badgleys Podcrushed this month, where Grande shocked the hosts with a story about how she once revealed to her fans that Dahmer was her dream dinner date. Grande was asked about serial killers in relation to the supervillain theme of The Boy Is Mine music video, which stars Badgley.
I knew someone was gonna say this, she said with a laugh just before the 30:00 mark. Whats this pattern, do we need to talk about this pattern here? Maybe theres something to look at. No, Im kidding? No, but I was infatuated with serial killers when I was younger. Mmhmm. Its not nothing. Im serious.
Grande told a fascinated Badgley and his Podcrushed co-hosts Nava Kavelin and Sophie Ansari that she had a story that was not funny but perhaps fine to share. Ariana once held a Q&A with young fans between her time on Sam & Cat and becoming a pop star and was asked about which living or dead person shed want to have dinner with.
I was like, Oh, youre so cute. Who, um?mom and dad, is it okay if I give the real answer? And they were like, Sure, I guess, whats the answer? And I was like, Um, Jeffrey Dahmers pretty fascinating, I think I would have loved to have met him. Like, you know, maybe with a third party or something. I have questions I want toI have a lot toI dont know, I would love to And the parents were like, Well explain it later, sweetheart. And I was like, Ill just sing Problem and go home.'
[From Complex]
What the hell is wrong with her? There?s this whole thing with women (mostly white women) being fascinated by serial killers and obsessively listening to true-crime podcasts and all of that. But I?ve always hoped that for most women, their interest in serial killers is from an investigative and criminal justice perspective, not ?wow, serial killers are cool, I?d love to meet one!? And saying she wants to have dinner with one of the most famous cannibals in American history?? Disgusting. Well, the families of Jeffrey Dahmer?s victims are mad about it. As they should be!
The family of one of Jeffrey Dahmers victims is speaking out, slamming Ariana Grande for once saying shed be interested in having a sit down with the late serial killer. That revelation does not sit well with the loved ones of Tony Hughes a deaf, non-verbal victim Dahmer targeted and killed in 1991.
Shirley, Tonys mother, tells TMZ she hopes Ariana understands how hurtful her comments are, noting the confession made her emotional. She was also disturbed when Ariana laughed during the podcast about her Dahmer fascination. Shirley wants the singer, and the general public, to know she and other victims families experience very real pain any time Dahmer is brought up.
She adds To me, it seems like she?s sick in her mind. It?s not fancy or funny to say you would have wanted to do dinner with him. It?s also not something you should say to young people, which she says she did.
Shirley says she finds it troubling Ari didnt seem to show any empathy for the victims loved ones. Tonys sister, Barbara, shares a similar sentiment saying the comments glamorize Dahmer, who was beaten to death in prison in 1994. Shed love to see Ariana apologize, so her fans know this isnt right.
[From TMZ]
Ari absolutely deserves all of this criticism. She should apologize. But mostly, she needs to stop talking about this kind of twisted sh-t. Once again, it?s not like someone merely having an amateur interest in famous serial killers, it?s that Ariana wishes she could HAVE DINNER with Dahmer and that she thinks that?s a story which is funny or quirky.

This post is for all of the Met Gala people who wore Loewe. Loewe showed off a wide array of looks and both of their big brand ambassadors were in attendance too. Ariana Grande is not affiliated with Loewe and it feels weird that she went with them for her Met Gala look: a pale dress in white or maybe a very light grey-blue, with the butterflies on her face. Like, think of all the directions Ari could have gone which would have complemented her style perfectly. Instead we got this.
Anna Wintour surprised me by going with Loewe, and this feels so phoned-in. ?Just give me a coat with some tulips, darling.?
Taylor Russell?s dress was partially made out of wood. The top part is some kind of special treated wood, then there?s a fabric skirt, obviously. It looks really cool!

In case you?re wondering why Ariana Grande got a rock star reception at the Oscars, it?s because of Wicked. There?s apparently a lot of money behind it. Ari was just a presenter (alongside her Wicked costar Cynthia Erivo), but it felt like she was everywhere during the show and on stage. Ari wore this custom Giambattista Valli which is? absurd, but also kind of fun. Back in the day, at least a dozen Oscar-attendees would wear big, ridiculous gowns like this and it was a regular thing. Not so much anymore. The biggest problem here isn?t even the big dumb dress it?s that Ariana is sticking with that brassy shade of blonde and it?s doing her no favors.
Matt Bomer wore Brunello Cucinelli. Yes, I?m interested in the fashion, I?m not just mindlessly ogling the most beautiful man in the world.
Billie Eilish wore Chanel and she and her brother Finneas won their second Oscars! Ridiculous! While I did not like her Chanel outfit whatsoever, I fking loved her hair and makeup. The blowout was such a great look and her makeup was gorgeous. I hope she sticks with that glam team, they know what they?re doing.

Some people have expressed surprise that Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are still together. They started up in the spring, by what I can tell, and their affair ruined both of their marriages. By July, Ariana had left Dalton Gomez and they would eventually settle their divorce very quietly. Ethan?s situation was more complicated, given that he had a wife and baby at home and Ariana had even tried to befriend Lilly Jay (Ethan?s wife). All of that went down this summer, but it?s been relatively quiet in recent months. Every now and then, we?ll hear about Ariana supporting Ethan in New York, and Ari is still trying to rewrite the narrative. Anyway, they?ll stay together throughout 2024, that?s my prediction. Wicked the film where they met won?t be out until November. They?ll try to stay together through the promotion. Meanwhile, People Magazine had this exclusive:
Things are getting very real for Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater. A source tells PEOPLE that things are serious between the 7 Rings singer, 30, and the Spamalot actor, 31, who have been confirmed to be dating since July.
?Ariana is serious with Ethan, they said. She loves being with him.
The insider added that while the pair go out occasionally as Grande puts the finishing touches on her upcoming album, they mostly enjoy staying in. It?s a very normal relationship.
On Saturday, the couple was pictured together for one of their first times out together.
The singer and Broadway star were photographed during a night out in New York City when a source close to Grande told PEOPLE they ate dinner with her father Ed Butera at her family?s favorite Italian restaurant before seeing Slater in Spamalot.
Grande sported an all-black with a furry bucket hat, mini skirt, and black top with furry cuffs. Meanwhile, Slater opted for a more athletic getup with a zip-up, joggers and running shoes.
They love to support each other in their work, the source said. When she?s done with work, Ariana loves going to the theater when she can.
Grande shared a carousel of photos to Instagram earlier this month, which featured one image with a Spam can ornament hanging on a wall Christmas tree made of green garland. The ornament is, of course, a shoutout to Spamalot, the 2005 Tony-winning musical adaptation of Monty Python and The Holy Grail. Slater is currently starring in a revival of the comedy on Broadway.

One of my favorite things is when one of these pop star divas dates a guy and her fanbase absolutely loathes the guy. It happened to Taylor Swift when she dated Matt Healy the Swifties panicked because the guy sucked and he was pretty racist to boot. From what I?ve seen of the Arianators online, they?re counting down the days until Ari dumps Ethan, and they?re grossed out by the fact that Ethan looks so much like her brother Frankie. All of which to say? Ari isn?t Taylor. She?s not going to dump a guy just because her fans hate him. Especially because two marriages ended to make this mess happen.
Ari was out with Ethan this week:

The only part of Ariana Grande?s chaotic and cockamamie PR I believe this year was the part where she claimed that she and Dalton Gomez had been on the rocks long before she started up with Ethan Slater. The scandalous part of Ariana and Ethan?s adultery was that Ethan?s wife Lilly Jay had no idea, and that Ari and Ethan were going around behind Lilly?s back. Dalton wasn?t around Ariana had basically already left him, although I?ll also buy the idea that she kept giving him just enough emotional incentive to stick around in case she needed him. In any case, Dalton was also the most quiet of the four people in this toxic situation he didn?t make a big stink, he didn?t pile on, he didn?t sell his story, he didn?t chat with Page Six. He and Ariana quietly worked through their sh-t, filed for divorce simultaneously, and Dalton is walking away with a seven-figure check for his trouble.
Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez have made quick work out of their divorce, settling up just weeks after they filed to end their marriage. There werent a whole lot of contentious issues there was a prenup, and, as we reported when we broke the story, Ariana cut Dalton a check and according to the settlement Dalton will receive $1,250,000, tax-free. Dalton is getting the money upfront, so there will be no spousal support.
Dalton will also receive 1/2 of the net proceeds from the sale of their L.A. home. And, Ariana will pay up to $25,000 of Daltons attorneys fees.
A source close to the situation tells us, There is still a strong mutual love and respect between Ariana and Dalton and they wanted to make sure everything was done right in lockstep with one another.
The settlement is standard operating procedure for Arianas lawyer, disso queen Laura Wasser, who tries usually successfully to quickly settle even the most contentious divorces. Youll recall, she recently settled the bitter divorce between Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner.
The settlement has been filed with the court, and all thats left is for the judge to sign and they will be single again. Ariana is in deep with her newest boo, Wicked co-star Ethan Slater, and were told Dalton is dating as well. The date of separation on the divorce docs is February 20, but they didnt file for divorce until last month.
[From TMZ]
It can be clean-cut like this when there are no kids involved and one spouse feels a bit guilty and wants to write a check so that her ex will be able to land on his feet. As I said before, I wonder who ?managed? this for Ariana, because this was the only part of the drama which was handled correctly and efficiently. I guarantee Ari got an NDA attached to the settlement and Dalton would never break it. It?s good that he?s also getting half of the profit from the sale of their home that will probably be more than his cash settlement, considering the real estate market in LA. I wish Dalton well and I?m sure Ari does too. And yes, she?s moved on. She moved on while she was still married.

I?m still shocked that Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are together. They got together, from what I can see, in the spring of this year. They were in London, working on Wicked, and both of them conveniently forgot that they were married to other people. Ariana?s marriage to Dalton Gomez crashed and burned and Dalton has kept quiet about it. Ethan?s wife Lilly Jay chose a different path, pushing back against Team Grande?s narrative that Ethan and Ari only got together when both of their marriages ended. So here we are, with both married couples going through divorces and Ari and Ethan are still happening. Their cheating asses went to Disneyland last Friday.
Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are going strong amid their respective divorces. The couple was spotted linking arms while walking around Disneyland on Friday night, according to photos obtained by celebrity blog Deuxmoi. The pair, whose faces can?t be seen, were photographed from behind while waiting for a ride.
A video from the outing showed the ?Wicked? co-stars ? who were joined by a couple friends ? getting a tour from one of the theme park guides.
Grande, 30, and Slater, 31, appeared to be trying to stay under the radar in baggy sweatshirts and baseball hats. However, the ?7 Rings? dressed up the casual look with a pleated skirt and black sheer tights.
The outing came less than one week after the pop star filed for divorce from her estranged husband, Dalton Gomez, after two years of marriage. According to the filings, Grande requested that their prenuptial agreement be honored. She also wants some of her pricey jewelry to be considered separate property and assets. Despite their split, sources told Page Six that everything has remained amicable between the ?Positions? singer and Gomez, 27, who filed divorce papers the same day.
[From Page Six]
Yeah, Dalton will walk away with a nice settlement and an NDA. We don?t know what?s happening with Ethan and Lilly, we only know that their divorce will not be over so quickly, especially given that there?s a baby involved. If I was in Lilly?s place, I would be making the biggest fuss ever, I would be pushing back against Ariana?s crap constantly. I actually wonder why Lilly has stayed quiet for the past few months. Is Ariana cutting her a check as well?

For years, Ariana Grande?s PR was all over the place. The donut-licking incident was indicative of a larger problem within her camp, especially when it genuinely felt like Ariana threw a tantrum over issuing an apology for licking donuts in a bakery. After the Manchester bombing at Ariana?s concert in 2017, Ariana?s team finally looked professional and competent, and Scooter Braun got a lot of credit for organizing the One Manchester concert for Ariana within two weeks. Ever since then, Ariana?s team has gotten high marks and she?s been pretty scandal-free. Then she started banging her married costar Ethan Slater and she dumped her husband simultaneously. Suddenly, it was amateur hour from Ari?s team as they navigated a quickie divorce storyline while also rolling out a series of lies about when she and Ethan started. Ethan?s wife started talking and it became a huge PR disaster for her. So, where was Scooter Braun, her manager? On vacation. And that?s apparently why Ariana is dropping Scooter.
Ariana Grande?s team were reportedly unhappy with Scooter Braun after he allegedly refused to cut his vacation short and help tackle the media storm surrounding her rumoured relationship with Wicked costar Ethan Slater.
Grande is among the music stars to have reportedly cut ties with the music manager in recent months. The Independent understands that Demi Lovato and Frozen star Idina Menzel have parted ways with Braun?s SB Projects, while Justin Bieber is also reportedly seeking legal advice to end his contract with the mega-manager. So far none of the artists have responded publicly to the reports. Braun appeared to mock the rumours earlier this week by joking that he was ?no longer managing himself?.
In a new report on Friday (25 August), Puck writer Matthew Belloni, who first reported news of Grande?s exit, claimed that tensions with the ?thank u, next? singer were amplified by Braun?s reaction to her relationship controversy earlier this year.
In his report, Belloni writes that Grande?s team wanted Braun to fly from his holiday in Europe to New York in order to help quell the media furore, which he reportedly refused to do.
?I deserve a vacation,? Braun is said to have told Grande?s team, according to Belloni?s sources.
The Independent has contacted Braun and Grande?s representatives for comment.
[From The Independent]
If this is supposed to make Scooter look bad, it?s hilarious that Ariana thinks that. Ariana fked up her PR and instead of working with the managers Braun put in place at SB Projects, Ariana threw a tantrum that a billionaire CEO wouldn?t cut off his vacation just to rescue her from her self-made catastrophe? Yeah, I?m on Braun?s side here. It?s not like he?s the Ariana-whisperer either she?s 30 years old, she has her own dedicated team PLUS the SB Projects team. That?s easily 20 people, all of whom could have helped crisis-manage this situation. It?s actually insane that she wanted Braun to cut off his vacation for THAT.

To recap what we know thus far, Ethan Slater and Ariana Grande?s affair began several months ago on the set of Wicked. While I believe Ariana?s marriage to Dalton Gomez was pretty much over in all but name, Slater was very much with his wife, Lilly Jay, at the time. Lilly and Ethan welcomed their first child last year, and Lilly and the baby even visited the London set of Wicked. Reportedly, Lilly even spoke to Ariana, let Ari hold the baby and talked to Ari about how Ari wants a baby. Ari was even ?liking? Lilly?s Instagram posts at the same time Ari and Ethan were carrying on. Ethan reportedly only told Lilly about his affair just days before Ari?s team broke the news to People Mag. What followed that People Mag story has been non-stop drama, mostly because Lilly Jay is not going away quietly. Lilly spoke on the record to Page Six, saying that Ariana is ?not a girl?s girl? and that the real story is Ariana and Dalton?s split. Ethan and Ari then ran straight to TMZ to complain:
Ethan Slater may be done with his marriage, but he desperately wants to co-parent his nearly 1-year-old child with soon-to-be ex-wife Lilly Jay sources connected to Ethan tell TMZ. Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, Ethan has been talking to Lilly daily, mostly about their little boy. Were told Ethan spent a lot of time with his son in London after he had split with Lilly, and is determined to have a major presence in the boys life.
Our sources say Lilly told Ethan repeatedly she was down with co-parenting. Ethan, were told, asked Lilly about issuing a joint statement saying they were committed to co-parenting their son, but Lilly wanted to defer releasing the statement, at least for now.
Were also told Lilly had assured Ethan she didnt know where various media leaks were emanating from, so he was more than surprised to read Thursday that Lilly spoke with Page Six, calling Ariana Grande not a girls girl, adding her family was collateral damage.
Sources tell us Lilly told Ethan she did not understand what it meant that she was on the record when she made the comments. Its unclear what Lillys position is regarding co-parenting, but Ethan adamantly wants to raise his son.
TMZ broke the story Ethan filed for divorce on Wednesday. If theyre at odds on who raises the child, ultimately a judge will decide.
[From TMZ]
This is the dumbest, most obvious deflection from Ethan Slater, a man who cheated on his recently postpartum wife with Ariana Grande. ?Let?s talk about co-parenting!? No, let?s talk about how you?re carrying on with Ariana Grande behind your wife?s back and you?ve been lying about it and publicly gaslighting your wife about when your marriage fell apart. Meanwhile, Ariana wants everyone to know that she?s not even hanging out with Ethan at the moment:
Ariana Grande hasnt seen her boyfriend Ethan Slater in person for awhile because hes preoccupied with his estranged wife and their divorce, and shes giving him space to work things out.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ Ariana and her Wicked costar havent been in the same city for several weeks. Ethans currently in New York, trying to navigate the end of his marriage with estranged wife, Lilly Jay.
Our sources say Ariana is coming to Los Angeles this weekend. Were told she and Ethan want to see each other, but thats not in the cards for the immediate future.
While Ariana and Ethan havent spent time in person for a minute now, our sources say they are 100% still dating.
[From TMZ]
This story came out about a day after the Daily Mail published exclusive photos of Ethan and Ariana walking arm-in-arm together in the UK, at the Soho Farmhouse. Those photos are from three weeks before Ari?s people revealed her relationship/affair with Ethan. So? Ari has been alone in London this week, furiously briefing the media about her dramatic affair, all while Ethan has been in New York, and he?s also furiously briefing the media. Meanwhile, Lilly has been telling her story far and wide to ensure that Ari?s narrative isn?t the only one out there. Such chaos? Ari definitely isn?t bored. Yet. That?s the thing, though while I?m 100% behind Lilly doing and saying whatever she wants, the minute that she stops engaging with Ariana and ignores the whole situation is when Ariana will get bored and dump Ethan.
