Keke Palmer Supports The Little Mermaid- Black Cinderella Talks Ariel!
We are exhausted from the premiere of The Little Mermaid and we are loving all the support that Halle and the film are receiving! One advocate is the beautiful Keke. Yes, Keke Palmer supports The …
Matrix 4 -Uhm… Halle Needs a Role in This One!
Not sure if it was the steely black sunglasses; or the shiny noire ensembles in general. However, Chloe x Halle’s Forgive Me music video had us feeling some type of way! Like the energy and vibe of it is just ELECTRIC. The dark, raw edginess of their visuals turned the wheels upstairs and reminded us that Matrix 4 is on the way (yay lol); and it got us thinking. Halle for the win?
Of course, we are sure that the next installment of the Matrix is going to pull out all the stops. BUT… it is kinda missing a new generation bridge. Their are The cast thus far has a lot of returning faces ( Thank major G). Since part of the nostalgia is being reacquainted with familiar characters as well as situations.
At the moment, Keanu Reeves will return as the beloved Neo; while actresses Carrie-Anne Moss and Jada Pinkett Smith will reprise their roles as Trinity and Nobe. Adding to their flair… Priyanka Chopra, Jessica Henwick, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Neil Patrick Harris will also all star in the film.
Matrix 4 -Uhm… Halle Needs a Role in This One
Now we know die hard fans of the series will be hitting the theaters HARD to view this film regardless of who’s in it. Nevertheless, we can not help but think what an addition Halle would make to this movie. Like really hear us out on this one.
She’s got the vibe of a Halle Berry with the angelic, good girl wink of a Dorothy Dandridge going for her. Plus, the girls has the goods and experience to pull it off. She’s already worked in the entertainment industry for a number of years; proving that her work ethic is perfect for a big budget film. But her resume helps too!
She’s been apart of a super duo in the realm of music. PLUS she stars as a regular on a hit TV show (Grown-ish). And even the mouse approves! Halle scored big snatching up the role of Ariel in the upcoming live action of The Little Mermaid.
The girl is qualified and deserves more top roles. Additionally, she would bring a whole new audience to the franchise. Thus, blending the old school with the new school. A total win-win.
What’s also winning is the fact that the fourth Matrix which is set to release May 21, 2021; will still have the Wachowski touch. Lana Wachowski, who is one of the two Wachowskis who directed the previous three films; is set to co-write and direct the next installment.

Disney Live Action Little Mermaid Casts Halle Bailey as Ariel!
BREAKING DISNEY MOVIE NEWS: Disney Live Action Little Mermaid Casts Halle Bailey as Ariel! This is not a test. This is a full blown announcement that Halle is about to be King Triton’s daughter!
Disney Live Action Little Mermaid Casts Halle Bailey as Ariel
Say WHAT??! Yes, hold onto your fins everyone! Disney is reporting that after numerous rumors they have officially selected Miss Bailey for the role. For quite a bit Disney fans’ whispering spread that Zendaya might be up for the Disney character princess. With the Marvel Far From Home actress also choosing to rock gorgeous locks of red hair lately; it only added to the rumor mill.
However, today all of that changed. Bailey took to social media platform, Twitter, in order to share the BIG Hollywood news. In a simple tweet the cat was let out of the bag with the words: “Dream Come True.” Along with a pic of the famous Ariel princess looking a tad bit more infused with “melanin.”
Immediately, fans had tons of reactions. Including a sweet message from Zendaya herself stating, “Yeeeessss!! Here for thiiiissss!!” It looks like as of now for the most part everyone is simply excited about this selection. Here are some of their remarks:
“Yes Queen Can’t Wait to Be Part of Your World!”
“Yessssssssssssssssss.”
“You’ll be perfect as Ariel!”
“7 year old and 22 year old me are screaming and crying we going under sea mama.”
“Nothing left to say!!”
“PERIODT!!”
“Girl we LUV Y’all o my God I am so happy.”
“We Stan!”
“Congratulations!!! Ariel is my favorite Disney princess and you are going to absolutely crush it.”
“THIS. But with red dreads.”
“So Proud.”
“Please have red hair. Like Rihanna red.”
“We are so excited for this! Congrats!”
“A Queen Doing As she Should.”
“You finna snap.”
“Some of them mad. Saying Ariel is redhead, as if people cannot dye hairs. Congrats.”
Disney Live Action Little Mermaid Casts Halle Bailey as Ariel (Continued)
There is always a negative Nelly out there (LOL). As mentioned, so far it has been mainly kind accolades for Halle Bailey; however, there are some who have already expressed their displeasure.
Should Disney be afraid of this casting move? Well, by the looks of things they are boldly moving forward regardless. Sources are stating that from the very beginning Disney wanted to make The Little Mermaid Live Action cast as diverse as possible.
This is not necessarily a bad move. In the past known as the 90’s; singer Brandy was cast as Cinderella with the great Whitney Houston being her godmother. Those castings did not prevent that TV adaptation of Cinderella from being uber-popular; or dare we say iconic?
Furthermore, in recent times Disney is raking in TONS of money with their live action Aladdin film. If you recall the Genie was originally Robin Williams, but in the modern era is played by Will Smith. Thus, proving that a race change may not necessarily spell out box office disaster. Regardless, of what some may say.
Final Details
Do you know Halle Bailey? Well, just in case the next couple of sentences will get you up to speed! She is apart of a musical duo group known as Chloe x Halle (Chloe is her big sis BTW); who was discovered by the one and only Queen Bey, Beyonce.
Besides, singing Halle also has already demonstrated her acting chops. She currently is a series regular on hit TV show, Grownish starring Yara Shahidi. Therefore, Bailey already possesses the resume to back up her upcoming big screen role.
She can sing beautifully; she can act. This live action is looking like a true blockbuster! Moreover, as of known details regarding the film are a little sketch. So far Melissa McCarthy, Jacob Tremblay and Awkwafina have also been tapped for Little Mermaid roles. Rob Marshall will be directing the script which was written by David Magee. As more details pour in we will update you guys!

The Mermaid Frappuccino – Because Unicorns are so Last Week
How big is this secret menu?! Starbucks is back at it again with a new flavored frap that would make Ariel jealous. The new drink comes complete with sweet flavors and of course vibrant, multi-coloring. Are you daring enough to give the Mermaid Frappuccino a try?
The Mermaid Frappuccino – Because Unicorns Frappuccinos are so Last Week
It seems just like yesterday that every caffeine fanatic was making their way to Starbucks in order to get a little unicorn in their life. Now Mermaid fraps are sliding into the menu like a DM.
Nevertheless, the number one question is… what the heck is in it? Well, we didn’t have to dig too hard. A Starbucks barista spilled the deets stating,
“Step aside Unicorn Frappuccino, meet the Mermaid Frappuccino. Bay City Starbucks sold out of the unicorn frappuccino on the first day, but we made the moment right by suggesting other partner created frappuccinos!
The mermaid frappuccino is a Pokemon go frappuccino without the raspberry syrup, drizzled with a toasted coconut matcha sauce!”
Not going to lie, that description slightly made our mouths water. Especially, the drizzle! Fortunately, the same superstar barista shared the info on that too. She continued,
“To make the drizzle, mix 8 pumps white mocha, 3 cbspumps toasted coconut and 3 heaping scoops of matcha in a pitcher until smooth. Pour into gravity bottle. Make the Pokemon go frappuccino minus raspberry syrup. Drizzle the cup and top with whipped cream and matcha powder. Enjoy!”
The Mermaid Frappuccino
In the end, the result is a purple and green combo that makes us think of The Little Mermaid’s tail and seashells top. So far the verdict on taste has been very positive. Unlike the Unicorn frap that came with mixed reviews and some encouraging others not to waste their money. Therefore, if you are looking to try something new, fun and yummy then you need to order yourself a mermaid.

Served Fresh Turns Simone Manuel Into Little Mermaid
“Out where they walk, out where they run, out where they play all day in the sun!” Most little girls always dream of being a Disney princess. Simone Manuel is now definitely living the dream! In a super cute artwork by clothing brand Served First Manuel is seen chilling “Under the Sea” with Flounder.
In the pic Simone also rocks a crown and a gold medal! Very fitting due to her historic win. Served First recognizes just how huge Manuel’s achievement is and spoke on how they were inspired by it. They said,
“We designed our First Children’s piece aimed at encouraging young women of color that they too can achieve greatness in the face of adversity. The significance of her victory resonates profoundly with us as swimming pools have been a racially sensitive flashpoint in the U.S. for generations.
Historically, African-Americans were often denied access to swimming pools during the segregation era and long thereafter. In fact, we remember quite vividly how an entire pool was drained after actress, Dorothy Dandridge dipped her toe in.
With artwork inspired by the Little Mermaid, our nieces, sisters, cousins and daughters can now showcase their pride and affection for Simone.”
