Get ready for a fantastical journey as Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo star in the highly anticipated film adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical Wicked. The article delves into their roles as Elphaba and Glinda, explores the magic of the story, and highlights the incredible performances that bring this iconic tale to life.
Literally an hour ago he just walked right over and jumped over the fence. I was like, Excuse me?” Coyotes can mercilessly attack small dogs, and Grande has two, Toulouse and Myron. “I take Toulouse out to pee, and I’m holding him while he’s pissing in the air,” she tells me, then addresses the coyote, wherever it may roam: “Eat me first!” We’re standing outside “the tree house,” which is what Grande calls her bungalow tucked away in the Hollywood Hills.
