    Fans Want Cher and Amanda Seyfried for Live-Action ‘Tangled’ After Photo Goes Viral

    Gimme gimme gimme a liiiive-action “Tangled.”

    Cher and Amanda Seyfried are now busy singing ABBA songs on the big screen in “Mamma Mia! 2,” but they are also currently frontrunners for the live-action “Tangled” movie that Disney has not actually announced and may never actually make.

    Still! The “Here We Go Again” costars look nearly identical to the animated Mother Gothel and Rapunzel from Disney’s animated “Tangled.” Fans noticed the resemblance, after a “Mamma Mia! 2” event photo went viral.

    Now fans are pushing Disney for a movie and dream-casting other live-action roles:

    Yes, please. Keep dream casting. Disney doesn’t *have* to keep making live-action adaptations … but since they’re going to anyway, they may as well add “Tangled” to the list.

    By the way, that list now includes “Aladdin,” “Dumbo,” “The Lion King,” “Mulan,” “Lady and the Tramp,” “Maleficent 2,” “Prince Charming,” and many, many more.

  • Cher and Meryl Streep Kissed at the ‘Mamma Mia 2’ Premiere and Fans Are Obsessed

    Universal

    When legends share a red –er, make that blue — carpet together, there’s no telling what may happen. And fans were treated to the ultimate magic moment when Cher and Meryl Streep shared a kiss at the London premiere of “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.”

    The Oscar winners and longtime pals previously starred together in 1983’s “Silkwood,” and were back together again at Monday night’s premiere. Cher and Meryl were clearly delighted to be reunited, and celebrated the occasion with a playful smooch for the cameras.

    Fans found the display of affection absolutely divine (and maybe not-so-secretly wished they were in the middle of this Cher-Meryl sandwich), and took to Twitter to declare their love for not only the actresses, but also the actresses’ love for each other. And naturally, the buzzy moment became an instant meme.

But let’s be real: Streep and Cher may as well have been the only ones walking the carpet, for all of the attention they commanded. And really, when these two queens are involved, isn’t that the way it should be?

  • Watch Cher Sing ‘Fernando’ in New ‘Mamma Mia!’ Sequel Clip

    There was something in the air last night, and it was a new trailer for “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.”

    Fans are not over the apparent death of Meryl Streep’s Donna in the upcoming sequel (whyyyyyy?!), but at least the rest of the original movie cast is still alive and well, plus they added Cher.

    Cher plays Ruby Sheridan, mother of Donna, and grandmother of Amanda Seyfried’s Sophie. The new clip that dropped during the 2018 Grammys shows Cher’s Ruby singing the ABBA song “Fernando”:

    Nana Ruby is going to be an awkward party guest, but it’s good to see Cher on screen again. The Oscar winner hasn’t been in a movie since “Burlesque” in 2010.

    Here’s the official movie synopsis:

    “Get ready to sing and dance, laugh and love all over again.

    Ten years after Mamma Mia! The Movie grossed more than $600 million around the world, you are invited to return to the magical Greek island of Kalokairi in an all-new original musical based on the songs of ABBA. With the film’s original cast returning and new additions including Lily James (Cinderella, Baby Driver), the musical comedy will open on July 20, 2018. […]

    Reprising their roles from Mamma Mia! The Movie are Academy Award winner Meryl Streep as Donna, Julie Walters as Rosie and Christine Baranski as Tanya. Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper reunite as Sophie and Sky, while Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgård and Oscar winner Colin Firth return to play Sophie’s three possible dads: Sam, Bill and Harry.

    As the film goes back and forth in time to show how relationships forged in the past resonate in the present, James will play the role of Young Donna. Filling the roles of Young Rosie and Young Tanya are Alexa Davies (A Brilliant Young Mind) and Jessica Keenan Wynn (Broadway’s Beautiful). Young Sam will be played by Jeremy Irvine (War Horse), while Young Bill is Josh Dylan (Allied) and Young Harry is Hugh Skinner (Kill Your Friends).”

    “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” opens July 20th, 2018.

  • ‘Mamma Mia’ Sequel Trailer Shocks Fans With Apparent Main Character Death

    Meryl Streep may be out … but Cher is in?

    “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” opens in July, 10 years after “Mamma Mia!” celebrated Sophie’s (Amanda Seyfried) wedding. In that movie, Sophie gathered her mother Donna’s (Meryl Streep) three former beaus to try and decipher which one was her father. This time, Sophie is the one who is pregnant, and it looks from the first trailer like Donna is dead.

    The Universal Pictures trailer shows Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) with her mom’s best friends Tanya (Christine Baranski) and Rosie (Julie Walters). “Your mother was the bravest person we ever knew,” Rosie says. “Let me tell you how she did it, all on her own…” The trailer then shows Lily James as young Donna in a series of flashbacks to her youth.

    Meryl Streep is in the movie, but she was reportedly only available for a short period of time, which must be why they decided to go in this direction. At least Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgård,and Colin Firth are back as The Dads. Plus, now we have Cher as Sophie’s “Grandma.” (!!!)

    Watch the trailer:Fans seemed to like the trailer, but not that Donna twist:

  • Is a Rachel Dolezal Movie ‘Inevitable’? Mock Casting Suggestions Now Out

    Idaho Aryan StainAccording to Variety and BuzzFeed, it is “inevitable” that Hollywood will make a movie about Rachel Dolezal. So they have gone straight into stunt casting, with BuzzFeed suggesting 17 white actresses to play Dolezal — from Kate Hudson and Lindsay Lohan to Anne Hathaway and Taylor Swift — with Variety deciding that Amy Schumer was their favorite option.

    They’re having fun with the idea, maybe too much fun, but it does seem like Hollywood won’t be able to resist telling this story, whether in a Lifetime movie or big screen biopic. If you’ve been hiding in “Orange Is the New Black” or “Jurassic World” screenings and don’t know, Rachel is the (now former) president of the Spokane, WA chapter of the NAACP whose parents revealed she was born white, not black, eroding a series of details Dolezal had shared about her own past.

    Celebrities have been weighing in on the situation, with Keri Hilson and Cher taking serious heat for defending aspects of Dolezal’s actions, and comedian Dave Chappelle sharing his own thoughtful reaction. (For the record, in a racial draft, one of his most memorable sketches, he thinks she’d be drafted for black.) If there is a movie about this situation, the divided response would probably be part of it. In the right hands, it might not be a terrible biopic. (Maybe Lee Daniels would go for it?) But it could go wince-worthy wrong in a dozen different ways, especially if they don’t take it seriously or cast the wrong lead. At the very least, expect some ripped-from-the-headlines stories on this topic to show up on TV shows next season. That’s usually how it works.

    Would you watch a movie on Rachel Dolezal? If so, any serious casting suggestions?
