Ariana Grande has made it clear that if a film about her life ever happens, it won’t be anything like a traditional Hollywood biopic.

Speaking to Backstage in a light-hearted video interview shared on Instagram on 9 February, the Wicked star admitted she isn’t keen on the idea of a standard retelling of her life story. 

In fact, she joked that such a project should be titled Scrap This and Don’t Watch It.” 

Still, she couldn’t resist pitching one very specific, tongue-in-cheek concept.

“A tiny mouse with subtitles the whole time,” Ariana joked when asked who should play her. “I would like that, actually.” 

She went on to explain that the only version she’d consider would be “a tiny, beautiful short film with mice reenacting my whole life with little, tiny subtitles at the bottom,” adding that it’s the only approach she finds appealing.

While the 32-year-old singer and actress is clearly not rushing towards a biopic, she has been reflecting having officially said goodbye to Wicked and her role as Glinda.

She told Backstage that it feels right to place the experience “in a beautiful book on the shelf next to the other L. Frank Baum books that I collect,” saying it’s time to “turn the page and to thankfully and proudly, gratefully let go.”

The role marked a return to acting for Grande after a long break. 

Now, with Oz behind her, Grande says she’s still processing everything she’s achieved. 

Despite the effort and preparation she put in, the moment still feels surreal. “I know I did the work so that they could,” she said, “but I still feel as curious and inspired as…the first day I got here.”

For now, any on-screen version of Ariana Grande’s life appears safely confined to her imagination — preferably starring a mouse, complete with subtitles.

Cher has shared a painful memory from her teenage years in her new memoir, speaking about it now with a calm mindset than before.

The music legend writes that the incident happened when she was just 17 years old and still very young in life.

At that time, she was in a relationship with Sonny Bono, whom she got married later in October 27, 1964.

On this one very quiet evening, while Sonny was busy working and was away, Cher stayed over at friend’s apartment.

The night stay at her old pal’s house became very scary for her that it left her shaken and with a deep impact on her life which she never talked about before.

In her book, Cher explained that she woke up feeling unsafe and confused while she quickly ran to her friend for help.

“A few hours later I was aware of somebody lying next to me with their hand in my underpants. Half-asleep, I thought I was home and then suddenly remembered that I wasn’t.

It was dark and all I could see was the outline of a man. Frozen, I lay there, my heart racing, until he moved slightly away.”

Her friend reacted right away and made sure that Cher was protected. The fear, however, from that night stayed with her long after it was over.

The I Got You Babe singer also talked about why she never told Sonny about what happened back then, writing: “It took me the rest of the night to calm down and I didn’t dare breathe a word to Sonny for fear he’d murder the guy.”

The music icon shared that writing her memoir gave her the strength to finally speak about things she which kept quiet for many years.

Cher also got real about how young she was at that time when this terrifying incident happened and how difficult it was to talk about.

Police are conducting an immediate search for a teenage suspect following a double stabbing at Kingsbury High School in Brent, northwest London, this afternoon.

The victims are identified as 12-year-old and 13-year-old boys. The Metropolitan Police were called to the school on Bacon Lane around 12:40 p.m.

The London Ambulance Service treated both victims at the scene, which dispatched multiple crews, incident response officers, and a trauma team from London’s Air Ambulance.

One victim is taken to a major trauma centre on a priority basis, while the other has been transported to the hospital.

There’s no current update on their health till now.

The police team led by Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams stated: “We recognise that this incident will cause considerable concern within the community.”

He asserted “significant resources” have been deployed to locate the suspect, described only as a teenage boy.

The school officials affirmed a “serious incident” has occurred and that the situation was “now under control.”

The school’s territory is locked down with no one permitted to enter or leave the site while the police investigation continues.

The school’s authorities have spoken to the parents of the affected students directly.

Till now, the motive of the attack has not been identified.
