Kristen Wiig Gets The Greenlight For Black Comedy “Imogen.”

Hot on the heels of her success starring in and co-writing the feature film “Bridesmaids,” the hysterically funny SNL talent Kristen Wiig has gotten one of her passion projects the greenlight.

Variety reports Wiig has earned a pickup for “Imogen,” a comedy that she described to Indiewire as a story “about a girl who kind of pretends to kill herself… to get her recently ex-boyfriend’s attention,’ and then goes to live with her mom. Only Wiig can take staged suicide and make it laugh out loud funny.

Part of Imogen’s greenlight is attributed to Bridesmaids’ success. The film is the biggest R rated female comedy of all time. Ironically, despite the success of the Sex and the City film franchise (which was also scoffed at by skeptics who still can’t seem to wrap themselves around a mostly female cast) those perpetual naysayers thought that a raunchy film like Bridesmaids wouldn’t sell to women. In the end, it appealed not only to women, but the boyfriends and husbands who came along for the ride.

Rock on, Wiig!

More like Carole Maskin’.

Are you a cool cat? More of a kitten? Either way, you can now jump on the Tiger King craze and purchase an OFFICIAL Big Cat Rescue mask for yourself. Carole Baskin and her big cat organization took to Facebook over the weekend to promote their newest bit of merchandise. Capitalizing on the pandemic-induced need for masks, the Netflix star boasts two different color options available for purchase. For just $11 (before tax and shipping) you can choose between a black or leopard print mask emblazoned with Carole’s favorite tag line, “Hey all you cool cats and kittens.” Truly a steal for anyone obsessed with the buzz worthy docu-series.

In case you’ve forgotten, Carole is the arch enemy to Joe Exotic as portrayed in the Netflix docu-series Tiger King. She’s been making headlines lately as the series has launched renewed interest in the “disappearance” of her second husband. After watching the series, fans began speculating that Carole’s ex-husband didn’t disappear, rather that she murdered him. Just this week, reports were made that the signature on her ex-husband’s last will and testament may have been forged. Because of all these allegations, the case of Carole’s missing husband has been officially reopened.

But all that’s neither here nor there because there are adorable, trendy masks for sale! If you would like to jump on the craze and snag a mask for yourself, check out the post below!

Lin-Manuel Miranda Just Shared The Original Demo For ‘Moana’ Hit Song And It Features A Big ‘Hamilton’ Star!

Another gem from the wonderful world of Miranda.

If there are two things musical lovers are forever grateful for it’s Disney and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Disney scooped up Miranda to write songs for the 2016 hit film Moana which told the story of a young princess chosen by the ocean to reunite an ancient relic with a powerful goddess. Unsurprisingly, the film’s standout song “How Far I’ll Go” won the Oscar for “Best Original Song” because everything Miranda touches turns to gold. What’s even more exciting than the award winning content Miranda creates, however, is the glimpses into the creative process he often shares with fans. After Hamilton became a smash hit, Miranda shared countless original demos and compositions of songs from the musical just to show fans the growth of his creativity. Well, moments ago Miranda took to Twitter to once again give us a peek into his process but this time it’s for the hit Disney film.

While Hamilton was still in it’s pre-Broadway run, Miranda was writing songs for Disney. He enlisted the help of his costar Phillipa Soo, the original Eliza Schuyler, to record the demo for “How Far I’ll Go” from their dressing room at the Public Theater. Finally after all these years, Miranda has decided to share the demo with us and it’s enough to make any theater geek freak out! In his tweet he apologizes for making the demo so “high” but applauds Soo because she “can sing ANYTHING.” And by the sound of this demo she really can!

Check out some Disney magic…or Miranda magic…or both(?) by listening to the original demo below!

There’s not a whole lot of context with this one, but does there need to be?

Jason Momoa may not be in tights but he still looks pretty super in a now viral video of him throwing tomahawks while shirtless. In the video the Aquaman star is shown having some fun with tomahawk target practice as he repeatedly nails the target (sometimes without even looking!). To be fair, the first tomahawk Momoa throws misses the target completely but the man is entitled to one flaw!  The video ends showing some hilarious bloopers which just make you swoon harder because the man’s looks are totally matched by his charm.

Let’s be jealous of tomahawks together and watch the video below!
