Cynthia Erivo on Elphaba's evolution in "Wicked" sequel and what to expect as she hosts Tony Awards on Sunday
Cynthia Erivo said her character Elphaba has evolved into a more powerful, self-aware version in the upcoming "Wicked" sequel, describing the green-skinned witch as "a little more knowing" ahead of hosting the 78th Annual Tony Awards on Sunday night. "They are not in school anymore. They are in their power," Erivo said. "I love this part of Elphaba. I call it 'delicious,' and I do feel that strongly. She's just a little more knowing ... The wardrobe is different. The hair is different. Everything is sort of moving toward the maturer version of who she is." Erivo's return to host the Tony Awards marks what she calls "a beautiful full circle moment" for the actress who won a Tony in 2016 for her portrayal of Celie in "The Color Purple." She credited her Broadway work with launching her career and leading to opportunities including her Oscar-nominated performance as Elphaba in the first "Wicked" film. "Because of Broadway and because of the work that we did in 'The Color Purple,' I get to sit with you now where I am and have done all the things that I've done since then," Erivo said. For Sunday's ceremony, Erivo has planned multiple costume changes, but remained secretive about specifics. She said she attended numerous Broadway shows this season in preparation for her hosting duties. Beyond her hosting and film work, Erivo is preparing for an ambitious theatrical project: a one-woman adaptation of "Dracula" in London's West End where she will portray 23 different roles. Despite initial hesitation about the demanding production, she said the concept became impossible to ignore after meeting with the director. Erivo is also releasing an album on Friday titled "I Forgive You" that she co-wrote, featuring vocal arrangements performed entirely by her, including percussion and rap elements. She said the album is "a full realization of who I am as a musician, as a singer, as a vocalist and as a person who loves music in general." The 78th Annual Tony Awards will take place this Sunday, June 8, 2025, at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. You can watch the on CBS and stream live on Paramount+ .

'Dance Moms' Abby Lee Miller Slams L.A. Hospital For Leaving Object In Her After 2020 Surgery
Abby Lee Miller has sued a prominent Los Angeles-area hospital for malpractice, accusing them of failing to honor a proper duty of care. The former "Dance Moms" star filed a legal complaint against Cedars-Sinai Marina Hospital and two of the facility's doctors for leaving a foreign object inside her body during a 2020 operation. According to Abby Lee Miller, she felt that following the surgery, the hospital and its medical practitioners did not listen to her concerns. Her issues with the famous facility come years after battling a long list of health problems. In her legal complaint against Cedars-Sinai Marina Hospital, Miller revealed she underwent a spine surgery five years ago. She noted two doctors were in charge of the operation, and everything seemed fine until she noticed concerning symptoms. Miller claimed she experienced abdominal pain and discomfort, but her complaints were allegedly brushed off by multiple doctors, including the two responsible for her surgery. She continued to endure the intense symptoms until one of her medical reps decided to perform a CT scan. The scan, per Miller, revealed a "retained catheter" had been left inside her body after the spine operation. On that note, she sued the hospital and the two doctors involved for medical negligence, professional negligence, medical battery, and more. She also asked for at least $1.4 million in damages, per TMZ. A spokesperson for Cedars-Sinai Marina Hospital addressed the lawsuit in a statement to the outlet, claiming the medical facility could not comment on pending legal matters or share details about a patient's medical treatment. Although the facility could not address Miller's lawsuit, the representative claimed that the hospital has always prioritized its patients' wellbeing and never dabbled in malpractice. "We are dedicated to ensuring that we meet the highest standards of care for all those we serve," the spokesperson said. The legal drama between the hospital and Miller follows various medical issues. Woman's Day covered the media personality's health struggles, reporting that she underwent a gastric bypass surgery in 2017 to increase the results of her weight loss journey. Miller became focused on shedding the extra pounds in 2015 after a diabetes diagnosis. A month after the gastric bypass surgery, Miller was found guilty of bankruptcy fraud and was sentenced to one year in prison. However, her failing health allowed her to be released eight months later, and she regained her freedom with a new body. Miller reportedly lost 100 pounds during her time in prison, and she declared that she was no longer diabetic after prison doctors discontinued her diabetes medication. In April 2018, she was rushed to the hospital for an unknown thyroid condition that later left her paralyzed from the neck down. Doctors initially performed an emergency surgery, believing she had a spinal infection, but she was eventually diagnosed with Burkitt Lymphoma. The rare but aggressive type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma needed 10 rounds of chemotherapy and months of rehabilitation before Miller was declared cancer-free in 2019. However, she needed to use an electric wheelchair to move. Although her health problems were significant, Miller was more disheartened by her time behind bars for bankruptcy fraud. In 2022, The Blast covered her reaction to those who abandoned her in her time of need. The media personality slammed her former co-stars from "Dance Moms," claiming the parents of the children she coached did not support her throughout her incarceration. She condemned their actions as ingratitude, saying: "Shame on you after what I did for you, for your children…helped make you a lot of money. You couldn't come to visit me for eight and a half months?" According to Miller, she received tons of letters from children in other countries, yet not a single message came from the families she helped rise to fame. She slammed them for using her as a stepping stone, claiming they wouldn't have made it without her. Miller's medical negligence lawsuit against Cedars-Sinai Marina Hospital isn't the first time she has sued a Los Angeles-area facility for improper care. In 2022, she filed a legal complaint against a hotel in L.A. called Hampton Inn and Suites and requested that they pay over $20 million in damages. The choreographer claimed she suffered emotional and physical injuries during her stay at the hotel in March 2020. She noted her room's sliding bathroom door crashed on her head while attempting to free her wheelchair, which got caught under it. Miller alleged the "300+ pound door" pinned her down for six to twelve minutes before the hotel's staff heard her cries for help. She was rushed to the hospital for treatment and blamed the hotel for delaying her healing from a previous cancer surgery. Will Abby Lee Miller emerge victorious in her lawsuit against Cedars-Sinai Marina Hospital?
