Ariana Grande may have missed the opportunity to join American Horror Story this year, but Ryan Murphy isn’t ready to let the idea vanish.

In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the Emmy-winning producer discussed that Grande was originally going to appear in the anthology series’ upcoming 13th season before her Eternal Sunshine Tour made the scheduling impossible. Instead of recasting for the role, Murphy simply said he would rather hold onto the idea until the Grammy-winning pop star might become available.

“I love Ariana Grande. We’re great friends,” Murphy said. “I had an idea and I came to her and she, very immediately, said ‘I’m not sure because I think I’m going on tour.’”

Murphy explained that Grande had just wrapped up her appearance in the blockbluster Wicked films when they first discussed the possibility of her joining AHS. As plans for her worldwide tour came together, the singer realized just how demanding her schedule would be if she agreed. Therefore, she decided that another production schedule wouldn’t be feasible.

“When it came time to do that episode, I called her up and she was like, ‘I don’t know how I’m going to juggle the tour with this,’” Murphy recalls. “And I said, ‘OK, if you can’t, we can push to another season.’ She said, ‘Great.’ You have to be respectful. Who is busier than Ariana Grande? No one.

Even though Murphy did keep quiet about the character he had envisioned for Grande, he suggested fans shouldn’t rule out seeing her in his horror universe down the line.

“It was a very big swing, but I might bring that back for another season, per Ariana’s availability,” he said. “I think the world of her.”

Grande has worked with Murphy before, appearing in Fox’s horror comedy series Scream Queens back in 2015. The producer said she’s long been a fan of the genre, pointing to both her previous acting work and horror-inspired creative choices throughout her career (most recently, the gory music video for her new album’s title track “Petal”).

“Ariana is a big fan of horror,” Murphy said. “She’s obviously done homages of that in her work; she did Scream Queens for me and loved the experience, and people love her in that show. So I will always work with her. I love her, and I support her.”

As Murphy mentioned, Grande is relentless in all of her endeavors. This past Friday (July 31), she released her highly anticipated album Petal, with the lead single “Hate That I Made You Love Me” marking her 10th Billboard Hot 100 No. 1. She is also in the midst of her Eternal Sunshine Tour, which is set to conclude Sept. 1 in London, England. Her rep announced over this past weekend that after the tour wraps, Grande will take a step back from the public eye.

“She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny,” the rep said in a statement to People. “This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much.”

SZA is embarking on a trip to the colorful world of CoComelon.

The seven-time Grammy winner is set to voice a character in CoComelon: The Movie, the first feature-length film from the popular children’s franchise. DreamWorks Jr. unveiled the movie’s first teaser trailer on Thursday (Aug. 6), giving audiences a glimpse into the animated adventure ahead of its theatrical release next year, on Feb. 19, 2027.

In addition to SZA’s voice role, the movie will also feature original music from Grammy-nominated songwriter and executive music producer Justin Tranter, who has worked with A-listers including Chappell Roan, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez.

The trailer follows JJ and his friends as they search for his beloved stuffed bear Boba. Their chase takes an unexpected turn when they’re transported through a mysterious lost-and-found box into a magical new world, setting off a fantastical quest to reunite JJ with his favorite companion.

Directed by Kat Good, CoComelon: The Movie is produced by DreamWorks Animation, Moonbug Entertainment, Flywheel Media and Prime Focus Studios, with Universal Pictures handling its theatrical release.

Though voice acting is not SZA’s usual calling, this project will be an interesting addition to her success thus far. The singer has a lot of hits under her belt: Her most recent album, SOS, spent No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for 11 weeks and became the first album by a woman to spend more than 100 weeks in the chart’s top 10. The LP also produced the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 smash “Kill Bill” before SZA continued her chart dominance with songs like “Saturn” and “30 for 30” (with Kendrick Lamar) as well as another Hot 100 No. 1, Lamar’s “Luther.”

After finally squashing things with J. Cole over a lawsuit that stemmed from a verse for an interview exchange that took forever to happen, Cam’ron is now adding unnamed members of Cardi B‘s team to his hit list.

During a recent episode of his REVOLT talk show Talk With Flee, in which he and his co-hosts were recapping the show’s first season, Cam had a segment titled “People Gotta Leave Flee Alone!” where the Harlem rapper-turned-media personality had a message for certain people on Cardi’s team. Apparently, they had reached out to Killa a couple of years ago for a verse and a hook for a remake of his 2000 hit “What Means the World to You,” similar to how the Bronx rapper flipped Jay-Z‘s “Imaginary Players” on her sophomore album Am I the Drama? Cam agreed in exchange for an interview, similar to deal he made with J. Cole that was mentioned earlier.

However, once the album’s track list dropped, he noticed that his feature wasn’t included, so he reached back out to ask for either the interview or to be compensated for his time, but was told that they decided to scrap the remake due to the lukewarm response to her Jigga flip. “I called them and I’m like, ‘Yo, what’s up? What happened? Y’all harassed me for two years about this.’ [They said,] ‘The younger people loved it, but some people didn’t like her flowing on a ‘90s beat on ‘Imaginary Playerz,’ so we tried to stay away from that.’”

Earlier in the segment, he made sure to say that he had no issues with Cardi, and he reiterated that sentiment again by saying he doesn’t blame her, just the people on her team that he was allegedly dealing with. “I’m not putting this on Cardi,” he said. “Cardi might not even know this sh–. I’m just saying, the people around her is making promises on her behalf, and she might not even notice. So you gotta stop making promises on these artists’ behalf, and they don’t know.”

Cam then continued by issuing the team members in question a warning that he would be willing to disclose personal risqué information if he doesn’t get his money or his interview.

“Take this as a warning,” he threatened. “Send that paper through for my time, or I’mma tell how you like to be on all fours, and your ass tickled with — pause — ‘cause I know a girl [who’s] with you. … I’m gonna put your text messages up. … I was disgusted when I seen it. … [But] I was like, ‘Yes God, you sent this to me to get back at these n—as.’ … The next show is your text messages.”

He also suggested that he may air out people with bad business practices each week.
