“I want the little girl in me and the little girls just like me who are watching to know that they’re special, and that they should be a princess in every single way,” Bailey says. “There’s no reason that they shouldn’t be. That reassurance was something that I needed”, declared Halle.

Bailey said that her grandparents made her look at the situation differently by remembering racist situations they were victims of throughout their lives. “It was an inspiring and beautiful thing to hear their words of encouragement, telling me, ‘You don’t understand what this is doing for us, for our community, for all the little Black and brown girls who are going to see themselves in you,’” Bailey recalls.

From that moment on, she started to think about the importance of representation and what it would be like if the original Ariel was black. “What that would have done for me, how that would have changed my confidence, my belief in myself, everything,” Bailey says. “Things that seem so small to everyone else, it’s so big to us”. Halle is the second actress to play a black Disney princess, in 2019 Anika Noni Rose provided the voice of Tiana in “The Princess and the Frog”.

Rob Marshall, director of the film, revealed to Variety that Halle Bailey is fantastic in the role. According to him, the star’s most chilling performance came during the new version of “Part of Your World”, the memorable scene when a wave breaks behind the mermaid, framing her in the ocean along with her voice.

“[Halle] sings that moment up an octave from the original,” Marshall says. “It’s the most chilling, and the most thrilling, film moment because it crystallizes not just her incredible vocal ability but the emotional passion she has in singing it.”

“The Little Mermaid” premieres on May 26, 2023.

“A year ago I was willing to step away from music because I was tired of the negative energy it attracted. But what I’ve learned is that even when I’m going about my business, you guys will be negative and nosy. So if I can’t have peace, neither can you. I am coming back. Cry about it”, revealed the owner of the hit ‘Fancy’.

“I’m not going to talk about dates or direction or anything, I just know it’s happening and there will be a budget,” she said.

Azalea’s latest album “End of an Era” was released in August 2021, around the time the singer announced that she would be retiring indefinitely from the music industry and dedicating herself to other projects. Iggy didn’t reveal when her new song will be released, but responding to a comment on Twitter, she said: “It’s going to be a terrible year for all of you, 2023.”

John Legend, 43, revealed on the latest episode of CNN’s podcast “The Ax Files” that he and Kanye West, 45, are no longer such close friends. The singer revealed that “Ye”‘s support of Donald Trump and his own 2020 presidential race interfered with their relationship.

The interview was conducted by David Axelrod, former adviser to President Barack Obama, who soon questioned his position on the statements made by the owner of Yeezy. “Well, you know, we aren’t friends as much as we used to be because I honestly think because we publicly disagreed on his running for office, his supporting Trump, I think it became, uh, too much for us to sustain our friendship, honestly,” Legend said. “He was upset that I didn’t support his run for presidency of the United States of America for understandable reasons.”

++Doja Cat responds to comments about her mental health “I’m rich, I’m fine”

When asked about the public’s difficulty understanding West, Legend responded: “Well, I think people get a lot about him. I think he’s been very open with who he is and his struggles with mental health and he’s very real, honestly. I think there’s not a lot about him that people don’t get, like he’s been pretty upfront with his opinions, his struggles, all the things that he’s dealing with”.

“And I think what you see with him is pretty much what you get. I don’t feel like he’s a whole separate person in private than he is in public. I think you’re pretty much seeing the real Kanye publicly”, he concluded. 

Despite their current distance, John explained that having Kanye as a friend in the past was important in achieving his rapid success. West played a huge role in launching Legend’s career, signing him to his GOOD Music label and executive producing Legend’s 2004 debut album, “Get Lifted.” The two have collaborated several times over the years, including Legend’s single “It’s Over”.

Can you imagine “Euphoria” without Zendaya? It almost happened! Casting director Jennifer Venditti revealed to Variety that, prior to signing the actress, the production was eyeing an anonymous young woman to play Rue. She drew attention for having a life story similar to that of the character.

“There was a young woman who had been street scouted by my team who was a magical person and had a similar trajectory as Rue and had come around to the other side. But with a TV show, it can be many years [of work]. We all loved her, but when we went through the rigor of the process, we didn’t know if she could handle what it would take in terms of stamina”, explained Venditti.

The first-time actress even underwent training, but Venditti and series creator Sam Levinson weren’t confident she was up to the challenge. And then Zendaya won over the team. ““It’s so interesting. A polar opposite. Because here’s Zendaya, who has none of the life experiences of Rue, who was able to dig into her toolbox and access it in such a beautiful way”, told the director.

At just 24 years old, Zendaya became the youngest actress to win a 2020 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role in the HBO series. This year, she is up for the trophy again, making her the youngest to be nominated twice.

Most attractive qualities in a partner

0

It’s no secret that everyone has different opinions on what makes someone attractive. Some people might find intelligence or humor to be the most important qualities, while others may place more emphasis on physical features. However, there are some qualities that nearly everyone seems to agree are desirable in a partner. Money is not one of them, though some people definitely go out of their way to find a sugar daddy. Physical appearance isn’t on this list either, since that one is a little obvious.

Let’s do a bit of a deep dive into what makes someone attractive, shall we?

A Good Sense of Humor

A good sense of humor is one of the most attractive qualities that a potential partner can possess. After all, laughter is often said to be the best medicine, and there’s nothing more attractive than someone who can make you laugh. A good sense of humor also indicates that a person is intelligent, quick-witted, and confident. Those are all qualities that most people are looking for in a partner. Additionally, a good sense of humor can help to diffuse tense situations and keep arguments from escalating. In other words, having a good sense of humor is an essential ingredient for a happy and successful relationship. So if you’re looking for love, make sure you let your potential partner know that you have a great sense of humor. It just might be the thing that seals the deal.

Confidence

Being confident is not only attractive to potential partners, but it can also lead to a more fulfilling and lasting relationship. When you exude confidence, you automatically become more desirable to others. This is because confidence is associated with positive qualities such as being successful, happy, and sincere. In addition, confident people tend to be more assertive and outgoing, which can be very appealing to potential partners. Furthermore, having confidence can help you to develop a stronger connection with your partner. This is because confidence helps you to be more open and honest with your feelings, which allows you to build a deeper level of trust and intimacy. So if you’re looking for a lasting relationship, it’s important to start by developing your own self-confidence.

Competence

A recent study found that competence is one of the most important qualities that people look for in a potential romantic partner. The study, which the University of Buffalo conducted, asked participants to rate the importance of various qualities in a potential partner. Competence was found to be more important than other qualities such as physical attractiveness and kindness. The study also found that people are more likely to be attracted to someone who is competent in an area that they themselves are not. For example, someone who is good at DIY might be attracted to a partner who is good at cooking. This finding suggests that we are attracted to people who can complement our own skills and abilities. So if you want to attract a potential partner, it might be helpful to focus on developing your own competence.

Intelligence

There’s no question that intelligence is attractive. After all, who doesn’t want a partner who can keep up with them intellectually? But what exactly is it about intelligence that makes it so desirable? One theory is that we’re drawn to people who are smart because they’re successful. After all, intelligence is often a predictor of success in life, and we all want to be with someone who’s going to be successful. Another theory is that we’re attracted to intelligent people because they’re more likely to be able to understand us and our needs. After all, communication is essential in any relationship, and if our partner is smart, they’re more likely to be able to understand what we’re saying. Whatever the reason, there’s no question that intelligence is a major turn-on for most people.

Ability to Communicate

Communicating effectively is one of the most important skills you can bring to a romantic relationship. After all, how can you connect with your partner if you can’t express your thoughts and feelings? Fortunately, communication is a skill that can be learned and improved upon. If you’re attracted to someone who seems a bit shy or withdrawn, don’t give up hope. With some effort, you may be able to help them open up and establish a deeper connection. Similarly, if you find yourself struggling to express yourself, there are plenty of resources available to help you learn how to communicate more effectively. Ultimately, the ability to communicate is an essential ingredient in any successful relationship.

Regardless of your partner’s most attractive qualities, it’s important to remember that all relationships take work. If you’re willing to put in the effort, you can develop a strong and lasting connection with someone, no matter their most attractive qualities.
