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.

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.?

On Monday, I wrote a sort of ?placeholder? story about Bennifer, as did People Magazine. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez spent the Independence Day long-weekend on separate coasts, playing games with their wedding rings. Both got pap?d a lot. There are still no announcements of either divorce or reconciliation. People Mag?s big exclusive was ?Jennifer seems fine.? My gut tells me that Jennifer would never ?leave? Ben or be the one to say ?we are getting a divorce.? No matter what, Ben is still the love of her life. So it?s up to Ben to determine what?s next. That?s sort of what Page Six?s sources are saying too J.Lo is spending time at her home in the Hamptons and letting Ben figure out what he wants.
A reconciliation between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez seems slimmer by the day amid ongoing divorce rumors, a source exclusively tells Page Six. An insider close to the couple tells us that, while the singer remains ?smitten? with her husband, she has embarked on a summer of ?health, happiness and joy? for herself and her family.
?Nothing can break her spirit,? the source adds. ?She wants to have a summer full of fun and laughter.?
Earlier this month, Page Six reported that their marriage has been ?over for months? and Lopez seemingly confirmed that as she posted a clip of her 2021 music video for ?Cambia el Paso? on Instagram Sunday. The empowering tune features the lyrics, translated from Spanish to English, ?Her life is better now without him ? She doesn?t need anyone to be well / She does not fail, she does not fail.? Lopez then asserts, ?He doesn?t deserve to have her in his arms.?
The update comes as Lopez, 54, continues to enjoy the summer without Affleck, 51, despite the two still wearing their wedding rings. Over the July 4th weekend, she was spotted looking happy and carefree while enjoying a bike ride with her longtime pal and vocal coach, Stevie Mackey, in the Hamptons, N.Y. She was also seen shopping in Bridgehampton with her manager, Benny Medina, and out and about with her child Emme.
Nonetheless, multiple sources tell us that Lopez who has continuously called the Oscar winner the love of her life still feels the same way. We?re told by another source that, amid the rumored split, Lopez has been spending a lot of time with her twins, Emme and Max, 16.
?When they?re not at their summer activities she?s with them,? the source tells us.

My theory has morphed into: she?s trying to make him chase her. She?s showing him what he?s missing. She?s trying to do ?absence makes the heart grow fonder.? He needed space so she?s giving him tons of space and letting him figure it out. Figure out if he wants another marriage to crash and burn, figure out if he?s actually happier without her. We?ll see.
