Ariana Madix: I'm the Glam Reaper on Love Island USA
Ariana Madix feels like the "Glam Reaper" on Love Island USA. The 40-year-old star has hosted the hit TV show since 2024, and Ariana admits that she hates delivering bad news to the Islanders. She told Maura Higgins on Love Island USA: Aftersun: "[They] gas me up when I come in [to the villa] because I always hope that I get to bring good news but sometimes I'm the Glam Reaper." Despite this, Ariana has developed real affection for this year's Islanders. The former Vanderpump Rules star admires the contestants for putting themselves in the spotlight and exposing themselves to potentially fierce public criticism. Ariana - who starred on Vanderpump Rules between 2013 and 2024 - shared: "The islanders who were eliminated, there's been a lot of stuff that's just been crazy. "I just want them to know, and any islander who has also left the villa this point, I just want them all to know how much I genuinely really love them and appreciate them for putting themselves out there." Meanwhile, Vanderpump Rules has undergone a reboot ahead of season 12 of the show, and Ariana previously warned the all-new cast that they have a "tough road ahead of them". The reality star is excited to watch the upcoming season of the long-running TV show, but she insisted that it won't be an easy experience for the new line-up. Ariana - who made her Broadway as Roxie Hart in the musical Chicago in 2024 - told Extra: "I'm excited to see, I guess, how it works. "It's such a hard thing to do, I think, to put yourself out there … They have a tough road ahead of them … Anybody, I think, who's done that has lived that, and I think they'll be great. They'll have fun." Ariana also revealed that she learned a lot about herself during her time on Vanderpump Rules. She said: "I've learned to trust myself. I've also learned to trust my gut more and I think I've learned that I can do things that are hard in life."

A prequel musical to The Wizard of Oz, the original Broadway version of Wicked starred Menzel as Elphaba, who is destined to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Chenoweth as Glinda, who will become the Good Witch of the North. Wicked premiered on Broadway on Oct. 30, 2003, after its preview run, which began three weeks earlier on Oct. 8. Wicked went on to capture three Tony Awards, including Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical for Menzel. Then, in 2024, director Jon M. Chu adapted the musical for the big screen with part one of Wicked — starring Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda — with the second part, Wicked: For Good, set for a Nov. 21 release. As anticipation builds for the release of Wicked: For Good, the Wicked franchise has received good news about its Broadway iteration. According to Playbill, the original Broadway cast recording has just been certified 4X Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The RIAA certification equates to four million copies of the soundtrack sold in the U.S. Playbill noted that another 1 million copies of the Wicked Broadway cast recording have been sold internationally. The Wicked original Broadway cast recording was released on Dec. 10, 2003, and won a Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. "Wicked" original cast recording double vinyl. A New Picture Edition Double Vinyl Of The 'Wicked' Broadway Soundtrack Is Being Released In October To celebrate the new 4X Platinum RIAA certification of the soundtrack — which is formally titled Wicked (Original Broadway Cast Recording) — a two-album picture edition vinyl is being released on Oct. 3, Decca Broadway announced. Side A of the first vinyl will feature a photo of production's poster art and side B will feature a photo of Kristen Chenoweth as Glinda. The front side of the second vinyl will feature a photo of Idina Menzel's Elphaba, while the flip side will feature a zoetrope image that, when spinning on a turntable, produces the production's animated iconography. Decca Broadway is accepting pre-orders for the double LP, which will begin shipping on Oct. 3. A revival version of Wicked is currently playing on Broadway at the Gershwin Theatre, where the original musical version was staged in 2003. Part one of the movie musical version of Wicked is available on streaming on Peacock and for purchase or rent on video on demand, while part two, Wicked: For Good, will be released in theaters on Nov. 21.
