Speaker 1 (00:00):
Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Let's talk about Ariana Grande.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
She forced a fairly successful path, bouncing from child star
to pop star to movie star.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Right, yeah, movie musical star.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Got her first Oscar Nod. Now Sabrina Carpenter seems to
be doing the same thing.

Speaker 4 (00:17):
Yeah, she's following in Ariana's footsteps with her first major
lead movie role, a new musical based on at least
some degree on Alice's adventures in Wonderland. This feels like
the perfect project for our girl, Sabrina.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
So Variety's reporting.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
It was Sabrina herself who pitched the project to Universal,
who unsurprisingly jumped at the opportunity to do it.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Mm hmm, and she partnered up with a director and
writer behind Jennifer Lopez is very successful. Hustlers sounds like
an easy sell to me.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
I like everybody that's doing everything. You don't have to
do one thing. The fact you can do it all.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
I am the biggest advocate for doing all kinds of
different things at once time. That's what I vote for this, Sabrina.
By the way, the cost Acquier writes to Alice in
Wonderland zero dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
It is public domain. I did not know that.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
So more on that next year.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
That's direct from Hollywood

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
