After more than two decades managing stars like Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, Scooter Braun is giving up the management business.
Braun wrote that he will instead focus on his role as a board member and CEO of the U.S. division Hybe, the South Korean entertainment giant.
“23 years. 23 years. That’s how long I have been a music manager. 23 years ago a 19 year old kid started managing an artist named Cato in Atlanta, Ga and my journey began,” Braun wrote on his social channels. “Along the way I have had so many experiences I could never have dreamt of. I have been blessed to have had a ‘Forrest Gump’-like life while witnessing and taking part in the journeys of some of the most extraordinarily talented people the world has ever seen. I’m constantly pinching myself and asking ‘how did I get here?’

Jonathan Groff won at the 2024 Tony Awards, and his Merrily We Roll Along co-star couldn’t have been more supportive of him.
Groff had been overjoyed earlier in the show when Radcliffe won in the Featured Actor in a Musical category, and the Harry Potter alum reacted the same way when Groff won.
As Groff walked to the stage, he crossed paths with Radcliffe and they embraced each other.
“I grew up in a house surrounded by cornfields in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. I was raised by my parents, Jim and Julie Groff, and my brother David, and the three of them are sitting right there,” Groff said as he read his prepared speech from a piece of paper. “Thank you for letting me dress up like Mary Poppins when I was three. Thank you for letting me act out scenes from I Love Lucy on my 10th birthday. Thank you...

Ariana DeBose, remembering the late West Side Story star, presented a Chita Rivera tribute at the Tony Awards. At the end of the homage, the awards show host would take the stage and recreate the iconic “America” musical number.
“In January, we lost one of theaters’ brightest lights, the irreplaceable Chita Rivera,” DeBose said as she took the stage with her voice cracking.
Rivera was remembered by Brian Stokes Mitchell, Audra McDonald, and Bebe Neuwirth.
“Anyone who knew Chita had a great friend and an even greater role model,” Mitchell said. “Everything I know about being a Broadway lead, I learned from [Chita]. The iconic characters that she created are unforgettable.”

Mitchell then took everyone down memory lane, remembering Rivera’s roles like Rose in Bye Bye Birdie, Velma Kelly in Chicago, and Anita in West Side Story.

It was a Wicked union between Idina Menzel and Cynthia Erivo as the actresses and singers came together to close out the 2024 Tony Awards.
Menzel and Erivo took the stage at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City to present Best Musical, which ultimately went to The Outsiders.
However, before presenting the category nominees, Menzel, Broadway’s first Elphaba, shared a sweet moment with Wicked movie Elphaba Erivo.
“I’m just going to go off the script real quick to say how excited I am to see what I know is going to be an amazing performance in that movie that you’re doing,” Menzel said, referencing the film adaptation of the Wicked musical.

Tony-winner Idina Menzel will return to Broadway next year in the new musical Redwood written and directed by Mother Play director Tina Landau, producers announced today.
The musical, which features music by Kate Diaz and lyrics by Landau and Diaz, was conceived by Landau and Menzel, with additional contributions by Menzel.
Redwood, which was well-received at a sold-out world premiere engagement earlier this year at San Diego’s La Jolla Playhouse, is described as “a transportive new musical about one woman’s journey into the precious and precarious world of the redwood forest.”
“I’m so thrilled to be returning to Broadway,” Menzel said in a statement, “and the fact that I get to do it with Redwood, a musical that means so much to me, makes it even more special. This show has lived in my bones for fifteen years, from the very first time Tina and I discussed working together.

Stereophonic is now slated to perform at the Tony Awards.
The decision comes amid outcry from fans and the playwright, David Adjmi, himself, after the initial performance lineup was announced and did not include the show. While Stereophonic is a play, it features a score by Arcade Fire’s Will Butler, and has been nominated for best score, as well as 12 other Tonys.
Tony producers Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner had hinted Tuesday that the show may be performing. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the producers were asked if there had been further discussions about them performing.
“There are always discussions that start here and here,” Weiss replied, putting his hands out the length of about a ruler. “There’s a lot of speculation and people forming their own judgments and opinions, and we are trying on our show to represent the season as well as we possibly...

On Wednesday, Universal released the first full trailer for Jon M. Chu’s blockbuster adaptation of the musical smash “Wicked” starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. The film, the first of a two-part take on the Broadway hit, arrives in theaters on November 27.
Here’s the official logline provided by Universal:
“Wicked,” the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy-, Grammy- and Tony-winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.
The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,...

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande star in director Jon M Chu’s new musical adaptation. Take a look at the new Wicked trailer.
Jon M. Chu’s Wicked is one of this year’s most awaited film musicals. Starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, Chu’s film is adapted from the hugely popular, and rather good, stage musical. Recently, Chu also confirmed that the film would use live vocals, which isn’t surprising as both Grande and Erivo have pretty good pipes for this sort of thing.
The story proved too big for a single film, so Chu and writer Winnie Holtzman have divided it into two parts. We assume the first part will adapt the musical’s first act while Wicked Part Two will do justice to the second act, but don’t quote us on that.
A new trailer has just landed online as well, albeit not on a broomstick.

Exclusive: On April 18th of this year, at a parole board hearing in New Hampshire, convicted murderer James Parker was granted parole for his role in the brutal 2001 stabbing murders of Half and Suzanne Zantop, a pair of married Dartmouth professors. After acquiring rights to Judgment Ridge, a work of nonfiction detailing the chilly story of those murders, producers Randy and Steven Toll have enlisted Matthew Gentile (American Murderer) to direct a feature adaptation from his own script.
Written by Dick Lehr and Mitchell Zuckoff, Judgment Ridge evokes clear memories of Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood, as it delves deeply into the inexplicable behavior that led to these ruthless murders. It was at age 16 that Parker conspired with his best friend to commit the murders of the Zantrops. He and co-conspirator Robert Tulloch came to commit the crime after plotting to put together the $10,000 they needed to move to...

One of the most anticipated and hottest films of 2024 is finally here. We are talking about Zendaya‘s Challengers which was memed to death for a threesome scene that was shown in the trailer but if you have seen the film then you know that the brilliance of the film is much more than that one scene. Directed by Call Me By Your Name‘s Luca Guadagnino from a screenplay by Justin Kuritzkes, the sports romantic drama follows the story of a talented tennis player Tashi, and her twisted relationship with two tennis players, one of whom is her husband now. Challengers stars Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor in the lead role with Jordan Thompson, Faith Fay, Hailey Gates, and Tierre Diaz starring in supporting roles. So, if you loved the story of ambition and toxic relationships in Challengers you should check out these films with similar themes next.

Idina Menzel is heading on the road this summer for her Take Me Or Leave Me concert tour and she’s promising a “vintage set.”
The Tony Award-winning singer and actress named the tour after her smash hit song from the 1996 Broadway musical Rent.
“Maureen was always uninhibited and extremely comfortable in who she was, maybe to the fault [laughs],” Idina told Billboard. “I’ve always loved that song and I miss that character, but I would say I’m naming the tour this from a different perspective. Obviously, many, many years later, it’s about who I am in this point in my life. I haven’t seen my fans in a long time, and I want to show them how I’ve changed, and how I haven’t. I want to show them my experiences and hopefully, they’ll love me no matter what.”

We just learned so much about Disney’s classic movie Frozen!
Believe it or not, the original blockbuster premiered in theaters more than 10 years ago. In honor of the special anniversary, Vanity Fair got the film’s stars including Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Josh Gad and Jonathan Groff together to look back on the start of the successful franchise.
The feature revealed a lot about how the final movie we know and love differed from the original that Disney set out to create. It featured different actresses reading for Elsa and Anna (the characters played by Idina and Kristen) and a very different plot.
We also learned that Frozen was not the first Disney movie either Idina or Kristen auditioned for. Interestingly, they were both in the running for the same part in another hit from the House of Mouse.
At the end of the interview, the cast also reflected...

The Broadway musical Wicked will be getting its cinematic adaptation this year. The musical has been divided into two parts, with Part One set to be released on November 27, 2024. It stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo in the lead roles, playing Galinda Upland and Elphaba Thropp respectively. The story acts as a prequel to The Wizard of Oz.
Director Jon M. Chu mentioned that the actresses got along really well on set. He said that he chose to not depend on excessive CGI and wanted actual sets. Chu also said that the two were extremely committed to their roles, with the actresses going as far as delivering live vocals while filming instead of the usual practice of lip-syncing to pre-recorded songs.

The Academy Awards unfolded pretty much as expected, with “Oppenheimer” dominating, and the only real shocks coming in the — wait, there weren’t any huge ones, actually. As predicted, “Oppenheimer” steamrolled, getting seven Oscars in total. It won the top prize for picture, as well as Christopher Nolan winning for director, Cillian Murphy for actor and Robert Downey Jr. for supporting actor — along with Hoyte van Hoytema winning for cinematography, Jennifer Lame for editing and Ludwig Göransson for score.

Most times, the Oscars broadcast goes off without a hitch. But other times, things happen that leave people talking about it for years — or even decades — to come. While surprises have been happening since before the Oscars were even broadcast — much less before the boom of social media — The Hollywood Reporter takes a look at the biggest viral moments from the last 10 years. Hollywood won’t forget about the streaker or Jennifer Lawrence tripping up the stairs, but those moments happened before 2014.
Adele Dazeem (2014)
John Travolta was set to introduce Idina Menzel before she took the stage to sing “Let It Go” from the Oscar-winning film Frozen. Somehow, he botched her entire name and introduced her as the “wickedly talented, one and only, Adele Dazeem.” Not only did it spark countless memes, but the singer-actress later said it was one of the best things that happened for her career.

Hard to believe, but “Adele Dazeem” has now been part of pop culture vernacular for a decade, and Idina Menzel is celebrating the birth of her alter ego.
“Hey, Adele Dazeem, it’s Idina Menzel. I just want to say happy birthday,” Menzel says in a tongue-in-cheek TikTok posted on Sunday. “Sending you so much love and positive energy, I hope you have the best, best day… Have a great one! Lots of love! Bye!” (Menzel also treats us to a quick rendition of “Happy Birthday” in the video.)

Idina Menzel is commemorating the ten-year anniversary of the viral John Travolta at the Oscars.
Travolta had the honor of presenting Menzel onto the stage but had a hard time reading the teleprompter and instead introduced Adele Dazeem to the stage.
Menzel took to TikTok to celebrate the birth of Dazeem after ten years since the Academy Awards blunder.
“Hey, Adele Dazeem, it’s Idina Menzel. I just want to say happy birthday,” the Broadway star said in the video. “I’m sending you so much love and positive energy, I hope you have the best, best day.”
Menzel then sang “Happy Birthday” to honor Dazeem and signed off, saying, “Have a great one. Lots of love. Bye!”

We just learned so much about Disney’s classic movie Frozen!
Believe it or not, the original blockbuster premiered in theaters 10 years ago. In honor of the special anniversary, Vanity Fair got stars including Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Josh Gad and Jonathan Groff together to look back on the start of the successful franchise.
In the process, we learned a lot about how the final movie we know and love differed from the original plot. It featured different actresses reading for Elsa and Anna (the characters played by Idina and Kristen) and a very different plot.
We also learned that Frozen was not the first Disney movie either Idina or Kristen auditioned for. Interestingly, they were both in the running for the same part in another hit from the House of Mouse.

Super Bowl Sunday always has a little something for everyone, but this year's big game in Las Vegas went above and beyond in the razzle-dazzle department.
We were, of course, prepared for a celebrity-crammed spectacle due to the luxury booth presence of Travis Kelce's substantially famous girlfriend, but this gridiron rematch between last year's combatants, the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, brought out more than just arguably the most famous pop star on the planet. The only pop star in that aforementioned argument, Beyoncé, was there with her hip-hop god husband Jay-Z! The world's greatest basketball player, LeBron James, flew in from Los Angeles for the contest! And Paul freakin' Rudd, sporting a bushy freakin' mustache that would've driven Avery Schreiber into a jealous rage, prowled the sidelines pre-game in support of his hometown Chiefs!
But if we're talking true, earth-shaking, knock-you-on-your-keister fame, let there be...

Adam Sandler has set a new comedy special at Netflix — this time directed by Josh Safdie.
The project continues Sandler’s string of collaborations with Safie, who co-directed him in 2019’s “Uncut Gems” alongside his brother Benny Safdie. Sandler also starred in the brothers’ 2020 short film “Goldman v. Silverman” and is set to lead an upcoming feature set in the world of sports memorabilia to be directed by Josh and produced by Benny, though the latter told Variety in January that the film was “on pause.”
Currently untitled, the special will be Sandler’s second at Netflix, following up on his 2018 set “100% Fresh” — which went on to receive a 90% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes. Sandler has worked on numerous projects for Netflix: In 2023, he led the voice cast of the streamer’s animated musical comedy film “Leo” and starred opposite Idina Menzel in “You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah,...

Ariana Grande is starring as Glinda and Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo is taking on the role of Elphaba, the characters originated by Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel on Broadway over 20 years ago.
The first trailer didn’t feature any of the songs from the musical and only featured Elphaba’s battle cry from the end of “Defying Gravity” and other brief snippets of the song. We did get glimpses of Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, and Jeff Goldblum at the Wizard.
One highlight of the trailer was a glimpse of Dorothy, who is never actually seen in the Broadway show.

The queens of RuPaul’s Drag Race have turned out some questionable Cher impressions over the years (see half the cast of “Cher: The Unauthorized Rusical”), but one Season 16 contestant just put them all to shame.
Underwhelmed by Mhi’ya Iman Le’Paige’s performance in Friday’s “Everything Every-Cher All At Once” runway category, RuPaul presented the Miami-based with a simple question that would change everything: “Can you do a Cher impersonation? Let me see it.”

We just learned so much about Disney’s classic movie Frozen!
Believe it or not, the original blockbuster premiered in theaters 10 years ago. In honor of the special anniversary, Vanity Fair got stars including Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Josh Gad and Jonathan Groff together to look back on the start of the successful franchise.
In the process, we learned a lot about how the final movie we know and love differed from the original plot. In fact, the original movie even had different actresses reading for Elsa and Anna (the characters played by Idina and Kristen).
We also learned that Frozen was not the first Disney movie either actress auditioned for. Interestingly, they were both in the running for the same part in another hit from the House of Mouse.
At the end of the interview, the cast also reflected on John Travolta‘s now iconic flub at the Oscars...
