It's Official: Beyoncé Will Play Nala In The Live-Action Lion King


On Wednesday, Disney casually announced the full cast for its upcoming live-action adaptation of the beloved animated classic, The Lion King, and it includes none other than—ring the alarm!—Beyoncé. We’d already learned back in February that James Earl Jones and Donald Glover would play key roles in the remake, but we were not prepared for how un-casual the rest of the cast would also be. Take a look at this insanely stacked group for yourself:

As this dream Instagram unveiling reveals, Beyoncé is set to play the lioness Nala, Simba’s best friend turned [SPOILER ALERT] wife. Meanwhile, Simba will be played by none other than Golden Globe Winner Donald Glover.

Other cast members include Keegan-Michael Key as Kamari, Florence Kasumba as Shenzi, JD McCrary as Young Simba, Shahadi Wright Joseph as Young Nala, John Kani as Rafiki, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, John Oliver as Zazu and Seth Rogan and Billy Eichner playing the lovable Pumbaa and Timon respectively. Oh, and of course the magnificent James Earl Jones will be reprising his role as Mufasa because, duh. Nobody could do it better.

Beyoncé fans (otherwise known as the Beyhive) understandably went nuts with the casting announcement and quickly took to Twitter to share in their excitement for both the film and what will ultimately be a fire soundtrack thanks to Beyoncé and Glover’s talents. Check out a few choice reactions from the ‘hive below.

Kendall Jenner Has Reportedly Made Things Official With Blake Griffin


Just a week after Kendall Jenner was spotted sitting court side at the Clippers vs. Lakers basketball game, supporting her rumored beau Blake Griffin, a power forward for the Clippers, Us Weekly is confirming the relationship. They are officially an item—or, at least, as official as something can be when it’s confirmed by anonymous sources.

“They’re legit. They’re a full-on couple,” the source told Us. “Kendall has been going to a lot of his games and they have been enjoying time at home when Blake is in town. They’re good.”

The two have been spotted out on multiple occasions before, always looking smiley and cuddly. Recently, the pair took a trip to Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood with Kylie Jenner and her BF Travis Scott. At that point, a source told People that “[Kendall] thinks [Blake] is dorky and funny, but also cool and sexy—he has a certain attractive ‘swagger,'” and that “they are seeing each other more, and Blake is doing everything in his power to make Kendall his girlfriend.”

There were also several restaurant dates between the two as well as an outing to catch It and they were even spotted at a concert. But this is the first time that someone close to the couple has said that they’re more than just hanging out.

Previously, Kendall was linked to A$AP Rocky, but the supermodel also never officially confirmed that pairing. It’s unsurprising considering she previously told Harper’s Bazaar she prefers to stay tight-lipped about her personal life (as is her right). “If I’m not fully, fully in it with someone, why would I make it public to everyone else?” she said.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Will Reportedly Make Their Official Debut as a Couple in September


There’s been a very exciting development in today’s royals news: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, that couple-that-isn’t-official-but-everyone-knows-they-are we all have in our social circle, are going to be making their first joint appearance together. Finally.

The Daily Mail reports that the ginger prince and Suits star will step out for the first time together at the Invictus Games in Toronto on September 23. (The palace has not yet confirmed this.) That fair Canadian metropolis also happens to be where Suits is filmed, meaning their first time being Publicly Official will be in her adopted home. So cute.

It’s also a big deal because the Invictus Games, an international athletic competition for soldiers and veterans, is a cause close to Harry’s heart. (Another cause he’s passionate about? The mental-health foundation, Heads Together, he leads with Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, AKA Kate Middleton. He is too good for this world.)

We know that their love is pretty much on fire right now: she flew to London to be with him for his birthday in August, and last week, she opened up by telling the world that “we’re in love.”

According to the Daily Mail, the two aren’t doing their romance transatlantically, however: “She and Harry currently stay in Nottingham Cottage, a small two-bedroom house in the palace grounds.” Cosy Cozy! However, she (likely) hasn’t met the Queen yet: protocol dictates you don’t usually do that until the ring’s on the finger.

However, according to the same newspaper of record, the Palace is also working to get Markle’s Suits publicity commitments toned down a bit, “an apparent clearing of the decks and part of what some are calling ‘Operation Princess.”

If this means what it is easily read to mean—indeed, says the Mail, the two are “as good as engaged”—well, 2018 is looking up.

It's Official: Malala Yousafzai Will Attend Oxford University Starting This Fall


Already the youngest woman to ever be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize and be named a UN Messenger of Peace, girls’ education activist Malala Yousafzai has yet another achievement to add to her growing list of accomplishments: Come this fall, she’ll be attending Oxford University in England.

In a tweet posted on Thursday, Yousafzai posted her acceptance notice and revealed that she will be studying philosophy, politics, and economics at the British University—the same institution where Yousafzai’s role model, the late Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, once studied.

The 20-year-old first became an international figure in 2012 when, after boarding a school bus, she was shot in the head by members of the Taliban. The then-15-year-old Yousafzai had been an outspoken advocate for girls’ rights—specifically, their right to a quality education—and was targeted by the Taliban for her beliefs. Following her recovery from the attack, she relocated to England.

“So excited to go to Oxford!!” she wrote. “Well done to all A-level students—the hardest year. Best wishes for life ahead!”
