Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place. It's
the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven. Well,
if there is still any kind of confusion, actor Miles
Teller is making it clear he is not playing Michael
Jackson in that new biopeg. The actor joined Travis and
Jason Kelcey on their New Heights podcast to explain what

(00:22):
he thinks may have started the rumors. Yeah, it's funny.
I think people because when I first got cast and
I said, like, Miles Teller to star in Michael Jackson movie,
And I think people literally thought I was playing him.
At some pointy I was like, oh my god, no, dude.
I mean you got the moves. That's why. That's why.
Because you got the moves. They were like, if somebody

(00:44):
can move walk like Michael, it's not a bad Michael
Jackson impersonation. But no, Miles Teller is playing Jackson's longtime
attorney John Franka in the film, which is getting a
lot of oscar buzz. Could we be closer than ever
to a Salt and Pepa Spinderella Tour? Saltan Pepa riding

(01:08):
high after their big induction into the rock and roll
hall of Fame and saying they've still got more on
the way. Here's the deal. The team has been working
on some issues with Universal Music Group over their master recordings,
but if they can figure that out, we'll see them
on the road. Hopefully we can get this situation squad
away with the masters, but if not, new music is

(01:30):
definitely something that's an option. And Salt has new music
as well. So yeah, one day we'll come together and
see us on the road. Yeah, yeah, Salt, Pepa Spinderella.
I think that might be a nice, a nice little tour.
Doesn't that sound amazing? Trust me, we will get our
hands on tickets if that happens. Finally, it's the millennial

(01:51):
in me that had to do this story. If you
are a Harry Potter fan, you will be so excited
to see the welcome that actor Tom Felton making a
Draco Malfoy got on stage. He is reprising his role
as Raco in Broadways Harry Potter and The Cursed Child.
He made his debut last night and the moment was magical. Okay,

(02:21):
are you ready for this? It was a thirty second
ovation for Tom Felton hitting the stage thirty seconds. I
need to pay that one. It's phenomenal, especially because in
recent years Tom has become very open about the mental
health struggles he had following filming the Harry Potter movies

(02:44):
because so many people were so cruel to him playing
the you know bad guy if you will in the movies.
He said that so much has come along therapy, support,
great love around him that has kind of turned his
life around, and for him to be able to come
back into the role like this is a very, very
big deal and I just I could have cried. It's
a really really great moment and you can see his

(03:05):
face is near tears. He's so happy to feel accepted.
