We’re all thinking it…
Last week, the internet went up in flames when Kim Kardashian hosted an early screening of the Wicked movie at her home. Stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo were in attendance for the themed pajama party in Kardashian’s mansion.
How could they producers choose them? People lamented. The Kar-Jenner’s don’t deserve it…they should have picked real Theater fans.
Ugh. I hate when I have to yell at my audience. Do you realize how many followers the Kardashian-Jenner clan have on Instagram alone? Kim has 359 million herself.
Even if you absolutely despise the Kardashian clan for all they do…you can’t deny their social media impact. Love them or hate them, either way you’re talking about the Wicked movie.
And that, my friends, is why you give the Kardashian-Jenner family the first preview of the movie. Because people are going to talk about it one way or another. And then, you’ll go see the film yourself.
I’m just as excited for Wicked as everyone else on the planet. It’s slated to be the biggest theatrical release of the year for a reason.
With a star-studded cast in Erivo, Grande, Bowen Yang, Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh, and more…add to that the already scandalous union between Grande and formerly married co-star, Ethan Slater…this film proves Hollywood is back in a big way.
The movie comes to theaters on November 21, so there’s still a bit of time before we see the real thing…but I can’t help but think about that fateful Kardashian movie night.
Specifically: did Ariana Grande and Kim Kardashian talk about their mutual ex-boyfriend, Pete Davidson?
What Do Ariana Grande and Kim Kardashian Have In Common?
It sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, but in the past Kim K. and Ariana did indeed date the same guy…and both were quite public with him up until the bitter end.
Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson dated from May to October 2018…I mean the pair even got engaged after only a few weeks of dating….who does that? However, when Grande’s ex, Mac Miller, tragically passed away, the pair broke up soon after.
Kim Kardashian and Davidson dated from October 2021 to August 2022. They famously met on Saturday Night Live, when they played Jasmine and Aladdin in a sketch. Check out how wooden Kim’s acting is — eyes glued to the cue cards.
And while Pete appeared on The Kardashians and walked the red carpet alongside Kim at the Met Gala, they didn’t last long.
While Pete Davidson has a knack for dating some of the most beautiful, famous women in the world, it’s not often two of his exes are captured in the same room together.
And I’ve seen enough episodes of The Kardashians to know that at least one daughter made a comment about how both Kim and Ari dated Pete.
So you just have to wonder: did the two compare notes? At the end of the day, all women love a good gossip session…
Who Is Ariana Grande In The Wicked Movie?
If you haven’t seen the play or read the book, Wicked is the prequel to The Wizard of Oz. Following witches Elphaba and Galinda, who are two girls who couldn’t be more different…but they end up becoming close friends during their time at school.
However, their relationship grows more complex as they have different views on the Wonderful Wizard’s rules and life in general. Plus, they even share a love interest. It gives backstory to how the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch come to be.
Based on Gregory Maguire’s bestselling novel, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (2000)…the book’s meant to rouse some sympathy for the Wicked Witch’s character. The original Broadway production – starring Idina Menzel as Elphaba and Kristin Chenoweth as Galinda – won three Tony’s and a GRAMMY.
In the film, Ariana Grande plays Galinda – who ultimately becomes Glinda the Good Witch. The buzz surrounding the film is already huge, with critics anticipating another Barbie-esque renaissance.
