The West End transfer (which played for four years despite mixed reviews) of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory musical, directed by Jack O'Brien (Paint Never DriesLove Never Dies) will open on Broadway on 23 April 2017 at the the Lunt-Fontanne Theater (plagued with a history of more-flops-than-not from ca. 2007 on-wards like The Little Mermaid, The Addams Family and Finding Neverland). The first look of the show has arrived (photos by Sara Krulwich):
A second bite of the Wonka bar: "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" reimagined for Broadway https://t.co/hURsnJpHtw
Previews are currently underway and so far, while the West End version was far from perfect, the majority of audiences are NOT happy with the changes from London to Broadway, especially O'Brien's decision to sacrifice the original lavish sets for minimalism, taking the concept of 'pure imagination' a little too literally (he says of this: ''The London vision might have been more literal. I like looking at things like color or design or imagination or proportion from Charlie's position.''), Americanizing the setting, updating the period to the digital age with unnecessary references to Drumpf, and casting adults in the roles of Augustus, Veruca, Violet and Mike (there's an unpopular reason for this); only Charlie is played by an actual child - well, like the far superiorMatilda, actually by three children (Jake Ryan Flynn, Ryan Foust, and Ryan Sell).
A few snippets of those previews insider reports below (obviously, lots of SPOILERS!):
-Spotify had a glitch last Friday that delayed Harry's debut single from being streamed. -The streaming giant has not yet commented on it [but clearly stan another One Direction member]. -The single struggles at no. 11 in Australia with around 116,000 streams daily. -Fellow ugly Ed Sheeran is going to block him on next weeks ARIA chart because the 4-month-old song "Shape of You" is outperforming it with 186,000 streams daily. -Meanwhile in the US the song is performing like past One Direction singles - strong debut at #1 because of stans and then free falling on the iTunes chart because the GP ain't here for it. Being Taylor Swift's muse and ex 3 relationships ago can only do so much for your solo career. -From #1 to number #7 as of this posting and falling (US iTunes). -Harry is set to debut a second song on SNL this weekend. Can these live performances turn around the song's chart success?
ONTD, is your debut single struggling on the charts?
- Aaron's family think Olivia is controlling - Aaron and Olivia split for a bit and then got back together, but ultimately couldn't make it work - Olivia is "devastated" and hopes they can work things out ( Collapse )Is it fair that the 'blame' for this split is being placed on Olivia's shoulders, ontd? Could you date somebody your parents hated?

With Mark Hamill and Hayden Christensen and possible annoucements of a new Anthology movie (Popular rumors include Ahsoka or Obi-Wan)
Heath Ledger, who died in 2008 of an accidental prescription drug overdose at 28, is described by friends and family in the new documentary I Am Heath as a talented, sensitive man. The documentary will contain interviews with those who knew Ledger, along with Heath's own home movies.
Heath was warned by family and friends against mixing sleeping pills and prescription drugs in order to sleep. He was plagued by an illness he couldn't shake and personal problems in the days before his death and wasn't getting proper rest.
Coworkers and loved ones say he "unraveled" in his final days due to work and personal pressures. He is described as "exhausted, emotionally and physically" and "desperately unhappy, desperately sad."
Also cited as a major factor of his troubles was his relationship problems with then-estranged girlfriend Michelle Williams, the mother of his then-two year old daughter Matilda. Mia Doi Todd, a friend of Heath's, cites Heath feeling pressure to be a "perfect husband and father" for Michelle and Matilda. Gerry Grennell, another friend, said Heath "missed his girl, missed his daughter." On the family end, Heath's family said they loved Michelle as much as Heath did, and he was "smitten" with her and Matilda. Williams declined to be interviewed for the documentary.
Another friend said Heath felt he didn't have long to live and strived to accomplish as much as possible.
Heath's sister considers now 11 year old Matilda to be Heath's greatest achievement and legacy, and she reminds the family of Heath, the girl picking up skateboarding like her father. The Ledger family says the documentary is a gift for Matilda.
I Am Heath Ledger will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival later this month before having its broadcast premiere on Spike in May.
This is going to be heartbreaking. However, I'm kind of not liking the vibe of some of Heath's friends regarding Michelle Williams. She isn't obligated to defend herself and her relationship with Heath, so I hope those parts are out of context and they're not blaming her for his deterioration.
Kim & Kourtney Kardashian join Cher at the premiere of The Promise a film about Armenian Genocide. Kim Kardashian has been vocal about Armenian Genocide and roasted the Wall Street Journal after it published an advert that downplayed the genocide. The movies stars Christian Bale and Oscar Isaac, the film is a love story set during the period Armenians say 1.5 million of their people were killed by the Ottoman Empire.
The 'Hopeless Romantic' singer-songwriter Michelle Branch inspired a generation of young women to pick up the guitar and write music. Her most famous convert? Taylor Swift!
In speaking to MTV News, Michelle said the following: "I turned a corner and she [Taylor Swift] was standing there. She freaked out, like, 'Oh my god, I'm a huge fan of yours. I learned all your songs. You're one of the first people who made me want to play guitar.' It's crazy to see what she's gone on to do, and to know that I had some kind of hand in inspiring her early on."
"To this day, people tell me, 'I bought a guitar because of you,' I think the biggest form of flattery is hearing that you inspired someone to start playing music themselves."
"Iconic heroes. Inspiring stories." That's how Disney and Lucas Film describe their next light speed jump within the Star Wars universe. "Star Wars: Forces of Destiny" concentrates on the female heroes of Star Wars, bringing further balance to an unbalanced roster of mostly male characters.
The men of Star Wars have always been at the forefront of the universe - the first six films, every Star Wars TV show, and hundreds of "expanded universe" novels and books. It's only recently that the new Star Wars films have featured women as lead roles in a male dominated story. Now, this roster of powerful, inspiring, and smart female characters are making their voices even bigger as they take the helm. Packed with familiar faces the likes of Princess Leia, Padmé Amidala, Rey, Jyn Erso, Sabine Wren, Jedi queen Ahsoka Tano, and Twi’lek pilot Hera Syndulla, this is sure to please all Star Wars fans everywhere!
But, wait. What's that sound in the distance? It's- it's the MALE EGO! TAKE COVER! The Instagram post promoting the new Star Wars series has exploded with complaints from males around the world. Let's dive right in.
Well, there you have it. Disney and Lucas Film should rewrite "Star Wars: Forces of Destiny" to include all of the male characters that have been beaten into the ground over and over again. Who cares if the last two, female lead, Star Wars films are the top grossing Star Wars films of all time? You've had your fun, girls.
Are you excited for this new Star Wars series, ONTD? Or will you be girlcotting?
Katy Perry covers the May issue of Vogue. She is promoting her new single CTTR and is also a co-chair for the upcoming Met Gala. Her Vogue cover and interview has been released, and sis is woke plus throwing shade:
She was raised Evangelical Christian and once had to picket a Marilyn Manson concert as a kid:
“My house was church on Sunday morning, church on Sunday night, church on Wednesday evening; you don’t celebrate Halloween; Jesus gives you your Christmas presents; we watch Bill O’Reilly on TV. That was my whole childhood and youth and early teens."
--- Definitely not what I expected for this song (and just thankful I don't have to endure those teaser vids with the flashing images anymore). Beautiful visuals and storytelling =) The new album, Relaxer, is out June 2nd.
Jimmy said that kids should stop asking celebrities to prom because these celebrities do not want to go to prom with them but they feel trapped because they'd look like assholes if they turned them down. He says they should ask their classmates instead.
- Last year, Katy revealed that her born-again Christian parents voted for Donald Trump.
- Katy, who started her career in gospel and christian rock music, told Vogue: “I miss references all the time. Amy Grant was our Madonna. We knew about Madonna and Marilyn Manson in my family because we picketed their concerts.”
- Katy and her family handed out "How To Find God" pamphlets

About the election night: "The election felt a little bit like somebody dying because you suddenly have an unreal feeling. It's unreal and yet absolutely as real as possible at the same time. You feel very raw and very base, very awake and dreaming at the same time."
On whether he owes 45 a thank-you note: "(Long pause.) No. I would trade good ratings for a better president. How about that? The interesting thing is that when we were prepping all that time, we weren't waiting for Donald Trump. We were waiting for something that everybody cared about. Do you know what I mean? Donald Trump is epoch-making; he changes everything. And so we were ready for something that galvanized people's attention and changed their priorities. The thank-you note is to my staff for being ready — that's the thank-you note. Because if it's not Donald Trump, it's something else. There will be something else that we care about, hopefully happy, possibly tragic."
What would he ask 45 if he had the chance: "What do you mean by 'great again'? Define 'great.' " Or, "I challenge you to say anything right now that Vladimir Putin wouldn't like. Say one thing. You could dispel all of these rumors if you would just say one thing. Just say, 'Yeah, he kills journalists.' Say it."
- considers jokes about Barron Trump to be off-limits - ordered pizza for the staff the first time they beat Fallon & been doing that ever since - thinks you can't bullshit your way through 202 monologues a year, you have to care in some way
Before getting set to perform for an estimated 99,000 people as the headliner of the Coachella Valley Arts And Music Festival this Saturday, a newly brunette Gaga visited her & The Kardashian's favorite cosmetic clinic, Epione Beverly Hills.
Upon exiting the facility, it seemed Gaga was attempting to hide behind her bodyguard, leaving fans to speculate if she had any pre-concert procedures done.
Gaga will be headlining the festival Saturday, April 15 & 22.
Fans received an e-mail from Gaga's team requesting their presence for a taping at the same Indio, California venue, three days after her first weekend of the festival.
The instructions read: 'The scenes for these days will portray a Country Western music concert. All you Monsters that can attend should get decked out in your most comfortable denim & boots, throw on a Stetson and come out to show your support!'

Yesterday, Dave Chapelle paid tribute to Charlie Murphy at John Mayer's concert. After reminiscing a bit on his Chappelle’s Show days with Murphy, Chappelle joined Mayer in a rendition of “You’re Gonna Live Forever in Me,” saying “it reminds me of my friend.”
This week, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, in continuing with the general theme of the administration, made some terribly egregious comments about Hitler and his use of chemical weapons. Comedian Nathan Fielder responded by sending the idiot a "Summit Ice" windbreaker.
What is Summit Ice? Summit Ice was part of a sketch from Nathan's Comedy Central show which lambasted a sportswear's company decision to honor a Holocaust denier in their company catalog. According to Summit Ice's website they are a 'a not-for-profit company dedicated to producing quality outdoor apparel and raising awareness of the Holocaust. Holocaust education is essential to prevent this catastrophic episode of history from repeating itself.'
If you live in a red state, say goodbye to any services you received from Planned Parenthood or other clinics that provide abortions. Today the orange demon is officially letting states cut funding for healthcare for 4 million people, because how else will he pay for more $300 million dollar bombs? The middle east isn't gonna bomb itself guys! Also it's a good distraction from his ties to Russia, which apparently a bunch of other countries knew about in 2015.
In their recent interview with Galore Magazine, the girls talked briefly about their new music: "it will have some R&B tones,” Dinah told, and "will hit on each of the girls’ favorite genres, with overtones of girl power and female empowerment throughout."

Back in 2008 a tree fell on Jeremy's house and the Modesto Bee reported:
"Actor Jeremy Renner's Friday was much like a scene from one of his action movies, such as "S.W.A.T" or "28 Weeks Later."
Each featured loud crashes, broken glass and narrow escapes.
Just as Renner, a Modesto native, was sitting down to coffee in the dining room of his mother's home on Elmwood Court, a storm-whipped tree toppled onto it."
On her episode today, Wendy Williams called out Tyrese, who has been spewing stuff about women being promiscuous and sluts etc.

Dentists hate this video!! Noted Youtuber Freelee - internet famous because she claims she eats 50 bananas per day - recently uploaded a video in which she claims she healed a tooth infection w/tea tree oil, sea salt, garlic, papaya and yogurt.
"I don't know if you can hear, but my jeans are screaming right now," says actress Kate Hudson. Hudson, the co-founder of online activewear retailer Fabletics, plays with the sounds of different fabrics — including mesh, denim, and sequins — and what happens when you slice into them with fabric shears, in ASMR.
