This is who Ariana Grande wants to play her in a movie of her life

February 11, 2026 by WDNY Radio

If there was ever a movie about Ariana Grande’s life, it would need subtitles — but they would have to translate animal language.

Speaking with Backstage magazine in an Instagram video, Ari was asked who she would want to portray her in a movie about her life and what she’d want to call it. “I wouldn’t, first of all,” she responded immediately. She laughed, “I would call it Scrap This and Don’t Watch It. I don’t like the idea of this at all.”

As for who would play her, she said, “A tiny mouse, with subtitles the whole time. I would like that, actually. It would be a tiny, beautiful short film with mice reenacting my whole life, with little tiny subtitles at the bottom. That’s the only version of it that I’m interested in.”

In addition, Ari — who has upcoming roles in the movie Focker In-Law and the TV show American Horror Story, and who will also star in a revival of the musical Sunday in the Park with George next year — was asked what makes her want to take on an acting project.

“If it’s something that … scares me a little bit, in great ways,” she replied. “If it’s something that I think I can really add value to the piece, but also things that challenge me.”

February 11, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The Eagles have decided to extend their stay in Las Vegas yet again.

Although the band initially announced that their March dates at the Sphere would be their final shows at the venue for 2026, they have now added two new dates, April 10 and 11.

A presale for tickets begins Feb. 17 at 10 a.m. PT, with tickets going on sale to the general public Feb. 20 at 10 a.m. PT.

The new additions will bring the Eagles’ total Sphere shows to 58, extending their record for the longest-running residency at the venue. They launched the residency Sept. 20, 2024.

The Sphere extension comes just days after Don Henley told CBS Sunday Morning that he believes that 2026 “will probably be it” for the band.

“And I’ve said things like that before, but I feel like we’re getting toward the end,” he said.

The Eagles’ next show at the Sphere is set for Feb. 20. In addition to the Vegas dates, they will play New Orleans Jazz Fest on May 2. A complete list of dates can be found at Eagles.com.

Heart’s debut album, Dreamboat Annie, is one of 14 recordings chosen this year for induction into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Released in September 1975, Dreamboat Annie was a top-10 hit for Heart, peaking at #7 on the Billboard 200. It features two songs that would go on to become Heart classics: “Magic Man,” which was their first top-10 single, and “Crazy on You,” a top-40 hit.

Overall, nine albums and five songs have been chosen for induction into the Grammy Hall of Fame this year. Other 2026 inductees include Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814, Radiohead’s OK Computer, Funkadelic’s Maggot Brain, 2Pac’s All Eyez On Me and Lucinda Williams’ Car Wheels on a Gravel Road.

“It’s a privilege to recognize these influential recordings as the 2026 Grammy Hall Of Fame inductees,” Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, said in a statement. “Each selection reflects the creativity, craft and cultural impact that recorded music can carry across decades.”

He adds, “We’re honored to help preserve these works and celebrate the artists and communities behind them, so their legacies continue to inspire generations to come.”

This year’s inductees will be honored at a gala taking place May 8 in Beverly Hills.
