Chu, who also directed Wicked, so it's not hard to see how she got the part. She will star alongside Josh Gad, who is best known for voicing Olaf in Frozen, so she's in good company. Ariana will be back in cinemas in November for sequel Wicked: For Good. SZA hits back at Minaj NICKI Minaj has rowed with Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion and Taylor Swift, to name just a few. And she's now decided to come for R&B singer SZA. 4 SZA, above, is in a row with Nicki Minaj Credit: Getty 4 Nicki has beefed with many pop stars Credit: Getty Late on Tuesday night, Nicki started by accusing rapper Punch – who is signed to the same label as SZA – of 'bullying me on Twitter for no reason'. In a cryptic message, SZA tweeted: 'Mercury retrograde . . . don't take the bait lol. Silly goose.' But that was like a red rag to Nicki who posted a series of disses about the former Glastonbury headliner's appearance, before saying she sounds like a 'fkng dead dog'. Then she questioned SZA's achievements including the recent news that her 2022 album SOS had gone nine-times platinum in less than three years. 'Justice for SZA' say Glastonbury fans as headliner is hit by more sound issues She wrote on X: 'Does Sza think she's more successful than me? Sza, if every song you've ever done vanished right now the music business wouldn't even miss you.' But SZA insisted she wouldn't be getting involved. She wrote: 'I'm the most successful I ever been. GET SOME F***ING PERSPECTIVE n BARK AT THE WALL.' Hear hear. Busy Katy smugs off Orlando HER former partner Orlando Bloom might have been branded the 'worst boyfriend ever' after he was seen gallivanting around the world with a massive grin on his face. But Katy Perry isn't letting the pain of their heartbreak, or Orlando's smug mug, get in the way of her world tour. 4 Katy Perry isn't letting Orlando Bloom get in the way of her world tour Credit: Getty The Piece Of Me singer wore this futuristic outfit as she made her homecoming at the Kia Forum in California on her Lifetimes tour. The mammoth run of shows will see her playing a gig in San Francisco tomorrow before polishing off 19 more concerts in the US before she heads to South America. Just one look at Katie's jam-packed schedule, which gives her barely more than a few days off at a time, is enough to make us mere mortals quake. But given what's happening in her personal life, being busy, maybe for the best.

Ariana Grande, Josh Gad to Lead "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" Animated Movie
Yara Sameh Ariana Grande and Josh Gad will lend their voices to the film adaptation of 'Oh, The Places You'll Go.' Based on the Dr. Seuss classic, the animated musical will be directed by 'Wicked' filmmaker Jon M. Chu and Jill Culton. Warner Bros. will release the movie on March 17, 2028. Plot details haven't been revealed, so it's unclear how the film will take inspiration from the beloved picture book. 'Oh, The Places You'll Go!' revolves around a young adventurer navigating the ups and downs of life and offers inspirational messages to readers like, 'You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.' With those platitudes, the book has become a popular gift for graduates or anyone at an inflection point. Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the duo behind 'Dear Evan Hansen' and 'The Greatest Showman,' are writing original songs for the big-screen adaptation. Additional cast members — likely many of whom can also carry a tune — will be announced at a later date. This project reunites Chu with Grande, the star of 'Wicked: Part One.' She'll reprise her role as Glinda the Good, alongside Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba, in 'Wicked: For Good' on November 21. The Grammy winner and Oscar nominee was also recently cast in 'Meet the Parents 4' opposite Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro. Gad is best known for voicing Olaf in the 'Frozen' franchise and originating the role of Elder Cunningham in Broadway's enduring hit 'The Book of Mormon.' He also played LeFou in Disney's live-action 'Beauty and the Beast' remake. Chu has previously teamed with Warner Bros. on 'Crazy Rich Asians' and 'In the Heights.' The director has attached his name to dozens of film projects at the moment, including a 'Hot Wheels' live-action adventure, a Play Doh animated feature, a Britney Spears biopic and another stage-to-screen musical in 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream
