Ariana Grande is finally breaking silence on her relationship with her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater.

The Grammy-winning singer and Broadway performer, who developed a close bond with Ethan while filming the stage adaptation of the hit musical, opened up to Variety in her latest interview.

She told the outlet, “It definitely doesn’t get any easier, seeing some of the negativity that was birthed by disreputable tabloids.”

While she alluded to the media furore, the Eternal Sunshine superstar went on to admit, “Of course, I went through a lot of life changes during the filming of this movie. A lot of people that were working on it did. We were away for two years. So, of course, I understand why it was a field day for the tabloids to sort of create something that paid their bills.”

The publication further claimed that the singer has spoken out against ‘specific allegations,’ insisting that she “will never go into certain details.”

On professional front, Ariana portrays the role of Glinda, The Good Witch alongside Ethan’s character Boq in Wicked.

The SpongeBob Musical alum was previously known for his appearances on Broadway in Assassins, Camelot, and Spamalot.

Prince Harry, who turned out at the WellChild Awards in London to recognise some of Britain’s bravest children on Monday, seemingly failed to win heart of his brother Prince William.

The Duke of Sussex arrived at a central London hotel just two miles from Buckingham Palace and less than an hour’s drive from Windsor, where William lives with his family.

However, future King William reportedly turned a blind eye to his brother presence in the town even if William is believed to be in Windsor with his family at the time.

Meanwhile, King Charles is in Scotland, at Balmoral with his wife Queen Camilla.

Harry made a solo appearance in London as his wife Meghan Markle stayed in the US with thier two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The Duke is not expected to meet with senior royals during his time in the UK as the royal feud between the Sussexes and the Firm still continues. William is said to be not on speaking terms with his younger brother and did not interact with him when they came face to face at their uncle’s funeral.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, was given four glass hearts by inspiring youngster Scarlett Cripps – one for himself, and one each for wife Meghan Markle and children Archie and Lilibet – so he can keep them close even when he’s visiting Britain on a solo trip.

Prince Harry hailed ‘little legends’ after sharing a laugh with brave WellChild award winners.

‘The WellChild Awards is an event that never fails to inspire me. Harry spoke about his role as a father in his speech: ‘As a parent, I know a little about the emotional rollercoaster of parenting.”

WellChild, which supports sick children, was one of four charities that Harry and his wife Meghan Markle chose to encourage donations to instead of gifts to celebrate the upcoming birth of their first child, Prince Archie, in 2019.

Buckingham Palace released a statement one month before Archie’s birth explaining how the couple wanted to ‘encourage members of the public to make donations to select charities for children and parents in need’.

Selena Gomez was ranked a billionaire for the first time, in early September, on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Talking about this new landmark in her career, the Emilia Perez actress told Entertainment Tonight, “I’m very grateful,” in an interview on Monday, September 30.

“I personally think it’s distasteful to talk about money. But I really am giving all the credit to the people who buy the products,” Gomez said. “They’re the ones that made this dream of mine come true. So I’m really, really honoured and just happy.”

According to the Bloomberg report, her current net worth stands at $1.3 billion.

The Love On songstress launched her beauty line, Rare Beauty, four years ago accompanied by her third studio album, Rare.

The brand reportedly accounts for the “vast bulk of Gomez’s wealth” today per the outlet.

The Disney alum has entered a diverse range of career avenues apart from singer and acting, which includes entrepreneurship. 

The outlet compared Gomez’s financial success to Taylor Swift’s, who reached the billionaire status exclusively through her musical career.

Previously, the Lose You to Love Me hitmaker denied rumours regarding the sale of her beauty brand.

“I don’t have any plans on that, genuinely,” she told The Times earlier this year. “I will admit it overwhelms me sometimes. I have this weird thing in my head where if I focus on the numbers, I’ll lose whatever it is that made Rare Beauty Rare Beauty.”

Gomez concluded, “I never wanted it to be about making a lot of money and that’s it.”

The actress is currently gearing up for the release of her upcoming Emilia Perez, which is slated to come out in early November. 

Angelina Jolie has seemingly thrown shade at her ex-husband Brad Pitt as she signed posters of their iconic series Mr. & Mrs. Smith at the 2024 New York Film Festival.

On September 30, Jolie completely ignored the Fight Club actor’s face on a TV series flyer during the autograph session.

Pitt’s ex-wife appeared to avoid eye contact with his image while signing her name next to her own face on the banner.

According to Page Six, the Maleficent alum attended the star-studded night to promote her forthcoming biopic movie, Maria.

The 49-year-old actress was accompanied by her three children including Maddox, 23, Pax, 20 and Zahara, 19 for the show.

For the event, Jolie donned a black coat over a long silk dress which she styled with nude heels and black aviator sunglasses.

For the unversed, Jolie and Pitt co-starred in an Action/Comedy series, the same year when Pitt finalized his separation from actress Jennifer Aniston.

Moreover, the former power couple tied the knot in 2014 and parted ways back in 2019. 

The now exes share six children including Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, 18, Vivienne, 16 and Knox, 16.

It is important to mention that the duo have been engaged in a prolonged legal dispute since they separated.
