Rachael Ray has left many fans worried for her after her appearance sparked health concerns in a new cooking video posted on social media.
The celebrity chef has been through a lot over the last couple of years, including the loss of her mom, Elsa, as well as a fire incident that destroyed her home, and an alleged marital issue with her husband, John Cusimano.
Rachael Ray also had to defend herself by revealing the health issue that caused “slurred” speech, which fans bashed her for at the time.
Ray has once again found herself at the center of a social media storm after she shared a new cooking video on Instagram.
In the clip, the 57-year-old culinary star shared instructions to her followers on how to season dishes by “feel,” instead of using any measuring devices.
She encouraged followers to rather stick it out with their palm, noting that the center of the palm, when folded, is “equivalent to about a tablespoon.”
“I think it’s really uptight and stupid to use a bunch of little measuring devices unless you’re baking,” she said, going on to add that measurement-taking when baking is a very “specific art,” but when it comes to other things, the hand will do just fine.
“Your hand is the original measuring spoon,” Ray captioned the post. “When you’re seasoning as you go, don’t overthink it. A little pinch, a little palmful, a little confidence is all you need to cook by feel. Your food will thank you.”
Fans Were Left Alarmed By Her Appearance In The Video
Instead of some fans focusing on the cooking lessons, they turned their attention to Ray’s appearance, with some voicing fears about her physical well-being, while others claimed they couldn’t recognize her.
“I haven’t seen her in so long. I’m genuinely wondering… is she okay?” One user asked, while another wrote, “She is not aging well.”
A third user commented, “She got so old- heavy and weird.” Someone else added, “Wow. Didn’t recognize her. A lot of weight. Hope she gets help.”
Conversely, other fans came to Ray’s defense, urging critics to show basic empathy and decrying harsh online judgment.
“A swift Google search would let y’all know that she has been going through some very stressful events and taken a couple of serious falls. Be kind,” someone else noted.
Another person added, “People, she hasn’t had an easy time lately. Her mom passed away last year. I send her tons of hugs … Ease up on her. You’re beautiful, Rachel, & I love you!!”
Rachael Ray Has Been Through A Lot In The Past Couple Of Years
This isn’t the first time Ray has been dragged into such public scrutiny over her physical state.
Back in 2024, fans raised alarms over her health after she shared a cooking clip at the time, paying tribute to the late Tony Bennett by making his favorite dish, ossobuco. Many claimed her speech sounded “slurred,” but she later clarified that it was due to a “bum wisdom tooth,” per Page Six.
She also sparked concern in July 2025 when she allegedly exhibited “bizarre behavior” at a meet-and-greet and bottle signing event for her new gin. According to the news outlet, she came 20 minutes late for that event, as a source pointed out that she “seemed off” while greeting fans.
During the summer of 2020, she lost her Lake Luzerne home to a fire, and was dealt a major blow in the closing stages of 2025 when she lost her mom, Elsa Scuderi, at the age of 92.
The Popular Chef Shutdown Rumors Of Her Marriage And Health
The “30-Minute Meals” alum has also faced allegations of a troubled marriage with her husband of 20 years, John Cusimano, as well as other business challenges.
In a conversation with AP News back in March, she addressed rumors that her marriage to Cusimano had hit the rocks.
“We’re very volatile people. We’re loud, and then we’re lovey-dovey, and I think we confuse a lot of folks because of that,” she said.
The chef continued, “I have a great marriage. My health is fine. I lift weights every morning, 4 o’clock, you know. I’m doing just fine.”
Rachael Ray Clapped Back At Speculations She ‘Disappeared’ Because Of The Worries Over Her Health
Having moved most of her life to Italy, many pointed out that Ray had “disappeared” in 2025 amid the rising concerns for her health.
However, she clapped back in a conversation with US Weekly, noting that she’s still very much active.
“I don’t know what they’re talking about,” she told the news outlet during the Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival’s Burger Bash in New York City that year.
In another chat with the news outlet, Ray shared why she prefers Italy to NYC, saying, “It’s quiet. The dog is much happier. She hates New York City. Bella is not a New Yorker at all. So, for the dog’s sake, I spend as much time [in Italy] as I can.”
Ray added, “She has a swimming pool and 66 hectares to run around on, and everything is very quiet, and the air is very fresh, and we have huge gardens and a vineyard and olive trees, and I just prefer that life.”
UFC superstar Conor McGregor is revealing the next steps in his mixed martial arts career following his shocking 69-second loss to Max Holloway at UFC 329 on Saturday, July 11.
“Surgery. Prehab. Return to martial arts practice. Go again. Final fight of the contract. Please God!” McGregor, 38, shared via Instagram on Monday, July 13.
McGregor’s comeback dreams hanging on his fight against Holloway, 34, were cut short when McGregor suffered a leg injury just over a minute into the bout.
“My faith is unconditional and I am thankful I get to prove it!” McGregor wrote. “My lifestyle changes are permanent and not just until. I am thankful I get to prove it.”
Conor McGregor was a no-show at the Marquee Nightclub at The Cosmopolitan’s UFC afterparty after his shocking fight loss, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. McGregor, 37, was scheduled to emcee the Las Vegas bash hours after his Saturday, July 11, fight against rival Max Holloway during UFC 329. McGregor ultimately lost the match just […]
He added, “I am a child of God. I am a friend of God. God makes a way for me where there seems to be no way. I am not a victim of my circumstances, I overcome them. God is at work in me to will and to work his good pleasure! My youth is being renewed like the eagles! In Jesus I am thoroughly loved, cherished, adored. I walk in divine health. I live under supernatural protection. All things work out for my good! All things are possible for me because I am a believer!”
McGregor has one fight remaining on his UFC contract, though there is no timetable for his return. Holloway has suggested he may be McGregor’s final fight opponent, which would bring an end to their trilogy. McGregor previously defeated Holloway via decision in 2013.
Hours after the loss at UFC 329, McGregor broke his silence on social media.
“I was so sharp and so ready for this fight I cannot believe what has happened,” he wrote via X. “The talk of me being off while walking in to the fight is nonsense. I was calm, ready, and confident. I am in shock what has taken place. The devil is literally staring at me right in front of my face here. I am not engaging. I will be at church tomorrow.”
UFC president Dana White expressed disappointment in the highly-anticipated fight, telling reporters, “I was expecting at least a one-round war.”
“Who knew what Conor was capable of as far as cardio, whatever else, after a five-year layoff, and there you go,” White said of McGregor, who last fought at UFC 264 against Dustin Poirier in July 2021, when he suffered a broken leg during the first round. “We’re assuming a blown ACL. I’m no doctor, but that’s what I figured when I saw it, and doctors think the same thing too.”
McGregor did not specify the exact injury he suffered against Holloway on Saturday, but in revealing he plans on having surgery, UFC fans can rest assured it will be a long time before they see him in the octagon again.

‘House of the Dragon’s James Norton Confirms What Makes Ormund Hightower Such a Dangerous Villain
Editor’s note: The below interview contains spoilers for House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 4.
We’re at the halfway point of House of the Dragon Season 3, and already the HBO fantasy spin-off has made some decisive moves with its characters on the overall chessboard that is Westeros. Although Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) has definitively claimed the Iron Throne, the strife she’s inherited in King’s Landing is only the half of it. With the knowledge that Ormund Hightower (James Norton) has deceived her — not only by sending her a fake Daeryon Targaryen but also by seizing the adjacent town of Tumbleton instead of retreating — it’s clear that Season 3 is setting up an inevitable clash between these armies, one that could have devastating consequences for the smallfolk caught in the middle.
Ahead of the premiere of Episode 4, “Tumbleton,” Collider had the opportunity to speak with Norton about playing House of the Dragon‘s newest villain and why he wanted to take “big swings” with Ormund’s most pivotal scenes. Over the course of the interview, which you can read below, the actor breaks down that memorable bath moment, the intricacies of Ormund’s admittedly “toxic” relationship with Daeron (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth), what his opinion of House Targaryen and their dragons reveals about his inner nature, and more.
COLLIDER: This episode is so fabulous for your character, starting with the very memorable scene in the bath. What sort of energy did you want to bring to that scene? So often, we associate nudity with vulnerability, and here it feels like he’s using it as a form of intimidation.
JAMES NORTON: Yes, he certainly is. What was lovely about this scene was it was an opportunity to see Ormund really enjoy being Ormund. A lot of the time, we see him very stressed, particularly later on in the series. As the stakes rise, he gets more and more stressed. Obviously, this is a man who lives at a high level of stress. You get a sense that he’s hyper-aware and hypersensitive to certain smells and sounds, and he has a lot of OCD, and so it was really lovely to see him delighting in his power and his playfulness.
What was really great in the scene, for me, was that I was able to give them versions of it where I basically said to the director [Claire Kilner], “Can I go quite camp with this?” And again, testament and credit to the creators of the show, they were like, “Yeah, just go. See how far you can go, and have it still exist within the world.” Getting out of that bath, I got campier and campier until I was literally cocking my head and going, “Is she a queen, or is she a bitch with a dragon?” It felt like I was going so ludicrously big, and then they went with it! They were brave in the edit, and they were like, “Let’s make this character delicious.” And as a result, he kind of feels into all different facets of the contradictory mess that he is, and I just think, “Good for them.”
Sometimes, as an actor, if you don’t trust the creators, you don’t give them the wide parameters of performance, and on this, I gave them very wide parameters. I gave them very subtle and nuanced and very big and panto, and generally, they went with the big swings, and I think the show and the character benefit as a result.
James Norton Nearly Fainted During Ormund’s Sword-Swinging Scene
“Your body just doesn’t know where the hell it’s at…”
You brought up Ormund’s emotions, and it does call to mind the scene where he gets the raven from Harrenhal. As much as there has been this question hanging over the nature of Ormund and Daeron’s relationship, Daeron is the one who sees Ormund go still and immediately tells everybody else to get out of the line of fire. What did you want to convey not just through Ormund’s reaction, swinging a sword at that table over and over again, but also what Daeron’s response reveals about the history between these characters?
NORTON: It was actually quite a tough scene to shoot because what happens, usually, when you do those types of explosions, those types of physical moments, which are very important in the script, you usually do the scene up to the moment of explosion, and then the shot to shoot the explosion is a pick-up or a pop or a special, whatever you want to call it, so the camera’s set up in a certain way. So, after we shot the bulk of the scene, the meat of the dialogue, and they called action, I would just be smashing the table, and then I would go back to being calm, and then I would smash the table. Your body just doesn’t know where the hell it’s at because you’re going high adrenaline to nothing, to high adrenaline. By the end, I was nearly fainting. My head was spinning. I had a terrible headache. It was kind of weirdly taxing. I don’t know. I felt really drained by the end of it.
In terms of the more important part of that scene and what it tells us about those characters, it was fun for me because it allowed us to show what is below Ormund and all the control, and what happens if that control is undermined, and the danger. Up until that point, we get a sense of there being this kind of fury bubbling underneath; we don’t actually see it manifest. Then, to allow it to be manifested was really important. Also, it just contextualizes the fear and the way people respond to him, particularly Daeron.
There’s also a sinister part of it, which is: how many times has that rage been directed at Daeron? I mean, Daeron is a young boy. He’s been brought up by this man. He’s as close to a father figure as Daeron has. There is a real pain and tragedy in that moment because he’s looking at that young servant and saying, “Get out, because otherwise you’re going to get hurt.” And, implicit in that act is, “Because I’ve been hurt before, as well. So just get out.” And a real selflessness. He doesn’t leave himself. He stays, and he watches, and he observes, partly, I think, probably to protect Ormund against himself and other people. So, there’s a stoicism and a courageousness in Daeron in that moment, but also an acknowledgment that he’s had to suffer this man.
It really goes to the heart of how toxic that relationship is, because despite there being this kind of abusive element, there is love there. I think, almost, Daeron stays because it’s like he might be a menace to himself, and a bit like a parent who needs caring by their child. Daeron stays, I think, partly out of — you’d have to ask Ben [Evan Ainsworth], but I think partly out of affection and love. It’s almost like Stockholm syndrome. He’s under duress. He’s almost imprisoned by Ormund, but also sort of loves him. That, for me, was the most exciting and most interesting part of this journey, excavating that relationship, because it’s really complicated.
James Norton Reveals the Truth at the Heart of Ormund’s Hatred of Dragons
“He sees them as beasts — not just the dragons, but the dragon riders themselves.”
Ormund is among the characters on the show who have a clear distaste for dragons, and does not hesitate to make those feelings known — but when Tessarion steps to him a little bit, he physically recoils. What did you want to convey about his attitude towards dragons juxtaposed with that reaction?
NORTON: We did one version where I literally fell to the ground as I recoiled from the dragon. In Episode 3, the High Septon describes the dragons as this “impure force.” It’s when Rhaenyra’s asking to be ordained, and the response she gets is that the dragons are a sort of impurity — “They just destroy. They don’t create.” I think Ormund, for all his theatricality and the fun, playful side to him, there is this very sinister side where he’s almost fascistic in his commitment to the Hightower cause and their claim to the throne. The way he talks about Daeron and his Targaryen lineage, being like, “Your blood is tainted,” he really sees them as savages, and he thinks the world should be rid of them. It’s really dark when you go down that. Almost like ethnic cleansing, in a weird way. He’s so binary in his approach and his view of how the two families are so different, and one being superior to the other.
I guess his attitude to dragons is kind of tied up in that. He sees them as beasts — not just the dragons, but the dragon riders themselves. Savages. Beasts. They do not deserve to be on that throne. It goes to the root of him and the darker side of him. It was an opportunity for me, alongside the relationship with Daeron and that particular part of his character, to root him and anger him alongside the more playful, delicious stuff.
Templeton, obviously, is a name that book fans will immediately hear and think about what’s coming. Can you tease any big battle scenes later this season?
NORTON: We’ve obviously already experienced an incredible battle, and there has been no secret about this series being very muscular and delivering what I think fans are excited by. Now, we’re at Episode 4. Ormund is so proud and so committed to the cause. The moment when he pretends to promise fealty to Rhaenyra, when Daemon forces him to bend the knee, you kind of know that that’s all bullshit, and you know that he hasn’t been back to Oldtown.
All I’ll say is, as you know, the setup is pretty spicy. He’s using human shields intentionally. He’s using women and children to protect him and the Hightower army in Templeton. So, we are set up for something. I don’t know what. [Laughs] It’s a very exciting series, is all I can say.
New episodes of House of the Dragon Season 3 premiere Sundays on HBO and HBO Max.
“The Real Housewives of Orange County” OG Vicki Gunvalson is reminding people that she built the franchise from the ground up. In a new interview, the outspoken reality star commented on the franchise’s newest cast, “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island,” and accused them of being inauthentic and desperate for attention.
While chatting with Page Six, Gunvalson, who just returned to season 20 of “RHOC,” slammed the new cast of “RHORI” as “very aggressive.”
“I didn’t even know who they were,” she said. “I was like, ‘Hi, bye. You’re all fighting. I’m staying away from that.’”
Gunvalson recently crossed paths with the Ocean State women while filming scenes for the upcoming “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th” special.
The cast, featuring Alicia Carmody, Rosie DiMare, Ashley Iaconetti, Liz McGraw, Rulla Nehme Pontarelli, Kelsey Swanson, and Jo-Ellen Tiberi, will appear in the finale episode, which was filmed at Dorinda Medley’s Massachusetts estate.
Vicki Gunvalson Has Choice Words For The ‘RHORI’ Cast
Based on the trailer, two of the women, Swanson and DiMare, bump heads, forcing Medley to tell them to get their acts together or be removed.
“It’s like, ‘The cameras aren’t here. What’re you guys doing? Shut up. This is my show. We are here for Season 20, ‘Ultimate Girls Trip,’” Gunvalson said. “It was just awkward.”
Gunvalson, who first appeared in season 1 of “RHOC” in 2006, finished by giving the women of “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island” a bit of advice.
“Be authentic,” she said. “Would you do this in real life? Because if you wouldn’t do it in real life, what are you doing it on camera for?”
Vicki Gunvalson Was Asked To Return To ‘RHOC’ During BravoCon 2025
Gunvalson’s return comes seven years after she departed the series in 2019. Host Andy Cohen asked her to make her comeback during BravoCon 2025, per the Daily Dish, and she gladly accepted.
While accepting the Wifetime Achievement award in 2023, Gunvalson reflected on her time on the series, thanking not only her co-stars but also the fans for their unwavering support over the years.
“None of this would be possible without all the fans who supported me and loved me through all the s—t that I had. It has not been easy,” she said.
According to a previous report from The Blast, Gunvalson said she was more than excited Cohen asked her to return because she had started to believe her time as a full-time cast member had come to an end.
“He’s sending me off into the wilderness by myself without an orange. And when he said that, I kind of lost all where I was. And he goes, ‘Please say yes.’ And I said, “I think I’m getting my orange.’ He goes, ‘We want you back full-time.’ And I just thought, ‘Thank you, Jesus.’ Because I miss filming. I missed my girls. I missed the joy of being an Orange County Housewife,” she said.
Bravo Is Celebrating 20 Years Of ‘The Real Housewives’
Another report from The Blast details the upcoming 20th-anniversary special, which will feature a group of seven All-Star housewives traveling across several states to hang out with beloved cast members from the past and present.
Throughout the upcoming batch of episodes, more than 80 “Real Housewives” alums will appear, including the iconic NeNe Leakes.
Leakes, who has been estranged from Bravo since 2022 after suing the network and Cohen, opened up about her return in an emotional video, thanking everybody who played a role in her comeback.
Leakes Gets Emotional Thinking About Her Return To Bravo
“This has been a really long, long journey, and gosh, I’m happy, overjoyed to say that I will be returning to Bravo,” the mother of two said in an Instagram video. “I almost can’t believe the words that are coming out of my mouth. I’m so happy. I’m excited to see all of you girls. It’s going to be a time. Yes! B-tches, I am back. Now pick your faces off the floor. OK!? See you on Bravo. Love you.”
“The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th” premieres on Sunday, August 9, 2026, at 9 PM ET on Bravo.

1991’s Killer Nerd is exactly what it sounds like. If you need me to spell it out in a little more detail, it’s about a nerd… who kills people. That’s literally the whole thing. It’s Revenge of the Nerd, singular. But what is he getting revenge for? That’s the problem with films like Killer Nerd: this guy’s life isn’t great because he goes out of his way to make it not great. And when he realizes things aren’t going well for him, he gets very angry and makes everybody else pay for it.
Sometimes you get lucky and stumble across a film that functions as a form of wish fulfillment. Revenge arcs, or stories about somebody taking matters into their own hands, are inherently satisfying because you can live vicariously through these characters. Killer Nerd is no such movie because you go into the film hating the guy, and only continue to like him less as you get to know him better.
It’s Always The Quiet Ones
Killer Nerd tells the story of Harold Kunkle (Toby Radloff), a socially awkward misfit with no friends, no romantic prospects, and a domineering mother whose character archetype will be familiar to anybody who knows serial killer lore.
At work, Harold is ignored by his crush Sally (Heidi Lohr) and constantly mocked by his coworker Jeff (Richard Zaynor). On his way to and from work, he’s tormented by drug dealers TJ (Niko DePofi) and Leelee (Tony Zanoni).
One night, while moping around, Harold sees an infomercial for Slick Dicks’ School of Cool, which, for the low, low price of $79.95, promises to turn him into a babe magnet, or something to that effect. The biggest takeaway from the tapes is that Harold should get a cool (read: terrible) haircut and dress like a washed-up lounge singer.
As you’d expect, Harold’s sudden makeover, along with his attempts to be too cool for school, is not received well, which only leads to more bullying. Harold then learns that Sally and Jeff are hooking up, and even the two women he meets at a nightclub while sporting his new look, Jenny (Lori Scarlett) and Lilac (Elizabeth Quinn), are similarly repulsed by him.
Refusing to be “that guy” anymore, Harold snaps and, as the title suggests, becomes the Killer Nerd we’ve been waiting for.
That’s Really All There Is To It
If you’re looking for a slow buildup of rage that leads to its obvious and inevitable conclusion, Killer Nerd might be a satisfying watch. Personally, I could never get fully invested because there’s really nothing to latch onto. Harold starts off as a bitter, lonely man, and the movie ends with him as a bitter, lonely man who’s now also a murderer. It never quite makes it into full slasher territory, but his rampage does come with a considerable body count.
Some of the kills, which look terrible thanks to the film’s $12,000 budget, are fun because Toby Radloff fully commits to the carnage. The problem is that there’s never a moment where Harold is remotely likeable. A couple of pithy one-liners could have elevated it, but what we get is a bumbling Harold who can barely hold it together.
His “makeover” reminds me of the time in South Park when Cartman tries to act nice, but instead just wears a nice sweater. When he’s called out on the fact that dressing nice and acting nice are two different things, he shrugs and admits he doesn’t know the difference. You get that same kind of clueless energy in Killer Nerd, but since Cartman is a lovable sociopath and Harold is just… Harold, the humor doesn’t land as much as I would have liked.
At the end of the day, Killer Nerd is pretty terrible. When you consider its production budget and the overall chaotic energy everybody brings to the table, there’s an undeniable charm because it plays like a group of friends with no filmmaking experience trying to make a feature-length film. It reminded me of the times my friends and I would film skits just to pass the time, and that nostalgia was cool. But I’d be lying if I said the quality, and the juvenile sense of humor we celebrated, wasn’t about the same as what you see in Killer Nerd.
As of this writing, Killer Nerd is streaming free on Tubi.

Where is the “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” cast now? See the stars of Tim Burton’s whimsical hit 21 years later
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/charlie-and-the-chocolate-factory-watn-61926-d5491c371591436f95cb386a3b5b9326.jpg)
It’s been 21 years since Freddie Highmore’s Charlie Bucket found that Golden Ticket.
Ariana Grande’s highly anticipated debut in the “American Horror Story” universe has been put on hold due to an unavoidable scheduling conflict with her “Eternal Sunshine Tour.”
Grande is no newcomer to major Hollywood franchises, having starred in Universal Pictures’ two-part “Wicked” film series, but a source claims she is now “being extremely picky” about her next movie role.
The singer also recently made an “unfortunate” announcement, revealing that she had to reschedule several tour dates due to production issues.
Ariana Grande will no longer appear in FX’s “American Horror Story” Season 13, which premieres on September 24.
The “Thank U, Next” singer was initially announced as a cast member in October and would have joined familiar faces including Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Jessica Lange, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, John Waters, Frances Conroy, and Leslie Grossman.
However, sources confirmed that the pop superstar has had to withdraw from the upcoming season due to production schedule changes that conflict with her ongoing “Eternal Sunshine Tour,” per Deadline.
It is understood that she had not yet filmed any scenes for the season. While the focus of Season 13 has been kept under wraps, reports claim that John Carroll Lynch, Mena Suvari, and Matt Fraser will reprise characters they previously portrayed in the anthology series.
Grande Had Teased A Tiny ‘AHS’ Role
Grande’s appearance would have marked a major reunion with series creator Ryan Murphy after they worked together on the 2015 FOX comedy-horror series “Scream Queens,” where she famously played the ill-fated sorority sister Chanel #2.
It remains unclear what her role would have been, but she previously hinted that it would be brief, telling Variety last fall that she would likely have a “very tiny thing” to do while expressing gratitude for the opportunity to join the franchise.
“I know a little tiny bit [about the role], but what I know I can’t say,” she said. “I’ll probably have a very tiny thing to do in it, but I’ll be grateful to be a part of it because I love everyone involved.”
Ariana Grande Becomes More Selective In Hollywood
Grande has continued to build her acting career since her days as a child star on Nickelodeon’s “Victorious,” where she played Cat Valentine.
She later focused on music, earning multiple Grammy Awards before landing a major role in the “Wicked” film franchise, which earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 2025.
A source told Life & Style Magazine that following her success with “Wicked,” Grande has received more movie offers but has become highly selective. “Arianna doesn’t need praise or her face on billboards all over town constantly,” a source close to her business team said. “It’s not about ego for her, and everybody knows she’s not dipping her toe into movies because she needs the money.”
“She’s being extremely picky about filmmakers, and she’s quality-controlling everything she can when she commits to a project,” the insider added.
Grande Wants Every Movie To Stand Out
The insider went on to explain that Grande has no interest in making multiple movies each year simply for the paycheck, adding that money is no longer a driving force in her career.
“You’re not going to see her making three or four movies a year just because she can,” the source continued, adding that the pop star “wants every film she agrees to make to be special and singular, and that can mean saying ‘no’ to a lot of pretty tempting offers.”
The source also claimed that Grande is mindful of “overexposure,” but said her years in the spotlight have taught her when to “put her head down, duck out of sight and focus on the work.”
“This gives her a key advantage over other stars in her age bracket,” the insider noted, adding that Grande also knows “she’s in a class by herself” and was highly motivated to earn another Oscar nomination.
Ariana Grande Reschedules Tour Dates
In the coming months, Grande remains busy with her “Eternal Sunshine Tour” and recently announced changes to three scheduled shows.
She revealed that her July 12 concert at New York’s Barclays Center would move to July 14. She also rescheduled two Boston performances at TD Garden, originally set for July 22 and July 24, to July 23 and July 26, respectively.
According to Page Six, Grande explained in an Instagram Story that the changes were necessary due to production issues and to ensure fans receive the full experience, “delivered safely and as intended.”
“We are so sorry for these unfortunate scheduling changes,” she wrote. “This was our best and safest option as these challenges with production have come to our attention.”
“The utmost important thing to us all is safety, first and foremost, and also making sure you all see the show how it is intended to run,” she continued. “Thank you so much for your understanding, and I cannot wait to see you.”
