Ariana Grande Is Joining the Cast of ‘Meet the Parents 4'
According The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, the superstar will show off her comedy chops opposite Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro, both of whom have starred in the hit franchise since Meet the Parents became a box office smash in 2000. (Blythe Danner and Teri Polo are also expected to return for a fourth go-round with the Focker family, though THR reports that their deals have yet to be finalized.)

Thus far, details on the film's plot remain fairly scant, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, a source revealed that the 'Yes, And?' singer is set to play the 'ball-busting' woman engaged to marry the now-adult son — whom viewers first met as a toddler alongside his twin sister in 2010's Little Fockers — of Stiller and Polo's Greg and Pam Focker.
Producer Jane Rosenthal also teased in a Variety story published Wednesday (May 28) that 'Stiller is now the same age that [De Niro] was when we did the first one, and his kids have grown up, and they have to come home and meet the parents.'
The comedy, which Stiller is also producing with John Lesher through their Red Hour Films banner, will mark Grande's first new film role in the wake of playing Glinda in the big-screen adaptation of Wicked, which earned the superstar a best supporting actress nomination at the 2025 Academy Awards as well as nods at the Golden Globes, BAFTAs and Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Next, Grande will return as the Good Witch this fall in the musical's highly anticipated second installment, Wicked: For Good, which is slated to hit theaters across the U.S. on Nov. 21. In between Wicked movies, she also released a deluxe version of her 2024 album Eternal Sunshine, featuring six new bonus cuts including 'Twilight Zone,' 'Dandelion,' 'Hampstead' and an extended version of 'Intro (End of the World).'

Emily Blunt Debuts a Platinum Blonde Bob on the Devil Wears Prada 2 Set
Are you wearing…the bleach blonde bob? Yes, Emily Blunt is. Filming is well underway for The Devil Wears Prada sequel, and with it, an avalanche of paparazzi photos that give a glimpse into some of the costume and styling choices for both established and new cast members. And while Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs has retained her long, brunette hair, and Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly sports her trademark ash blonde, severe super crop, it looks like Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton might go through some dramatic hair transformations. Just a few weeks ago, images from the set showed Blunt as Emily with some copper red hair, her character's signature shade. It marked the first time Blunt has returned to that shade following her breakout role in the original film, having experimented with more caramel blondes and shades of brunette over the years. The sharp-tongued assistant to Runway editor-in-chief is remembered as much for her acerbic words to Andy and not being the girl to go to Paris, as she is her chestnut red shade. It was a high fashion, editorial, almost villainous red. Blunt, who was 23 at the time, dyed her then-brunette hair for the the years, Blunt—who is a natural blonde—has experimented with plenty of brunette and blonde shades, but in recent times, she's kept to a lighter shade of brunette with warm blonde highlights toward the mid and lower lengths of her hair, giving her fine lengths some soft depth and movement. Color analysis defines Emily Blunt as a 'true summer,' with cool undertones—it means the actor can pool off cool, soft, and muted shades, like light browns, ashy and icy blonde.

Your Fall Global Culture Calendar: The Best Theater, Art, TV, Film, Dance and Books
We get it. There aren't enough hours in the day (or airline miles in your account) to get to everything worth seeing this fall. That's why Pursuits editors have compiled a list of what we believe will be the cream of the crop—the books, exhibitions, performances and movies that everyone will be talking about. If you can see more than one of the below, count yourself among the lucky few. ART Man Ray: When Objects Dream Man Ray (1890-1976) is best known for inventing the rayograph, an artwork made by placing objects such as feathers, wine glasses and coiled springs on or near photo paper and exposing them to light, producing X-ray-like prints. A huge new show will feature about 60 of these works, along with roughly 100 other pieces from the 1910s and '20s. Sept. 14–Feb. 1 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York
