Brandy Has 'No Idea' Why Her Version of 'Cinderella' Isn't on Disney+

Image
Brandy Shutterstock Although fans are thrilled to hear Brandy coming out with new music — she just released her first album in eight years — they still have a big question: What about Cinderella ? The actress, 41, starred in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella in 1997 alongside an A-list cast, including Whitney Houston , Jason Alexander , Whoopi Goldberg and Bernadette Peters . However, it’s not available on Disney+, which includes over 100 Disney Channel Originals.

Will 'Vanderpump Rules' Be Canceled After Multiple Firings?

End of an era? Vanderpump Rules fans might not be getting season 9 after Bravo axed multiple cast members from the show. ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Stars Who Left: Where Are They Now?

Seth Rogen: Bravo Is 'Always' Asking Me to Go on 'Below Deck'

Keeping his head above water. Seth Rogen is a big fan of Bravo’s Below Deck — but not enough to board one of the boats. Stars Who Love Reality TV Read article “I love Below Deck , are you kidding me?” the Superbad actor, 38, revealed on Thursday, July 30, during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon . “They’re always trying to get me to go on it, which I say no to all the time. I can’t go on it, you look like a d–k no matter what, like, you are the antagonist on the show. You can’t do it.” More than putting his reputation at risk, Rogen isn’t interested in shelling out major bucks to join the crew. (According to the Bravo website , the charters are “paid for by the charter guests” and “cost a pretty penny.”) “They still want you to pay to go on the cruise! Which is crazy,” he claimed. “Bravo is literally sending me emails asking me to pay 40 grand to be on an episode of one of their TV shows, which is … psychotic. If that is the business model for Below Deck...
