Three very famous women just won the week in a big way—and for once, Taylor Swift isn’t one of them (even though she did show off some major PDA last week).
I’m talking about three ladies who are instantly identifiable by their first names: Céline, Zendaya and Mariska. Here, why the week fully belongs to these stellar stars.
Céline
Céline Dion broke the internet this week with her emotional career announcement: Four years after her Stiff Person Syndrome diagnosis, she’s returning to the stage. The “My Heart Will Go On” singer posted a video on Instagram where she said, “I want to let you know that I'm doing great. Managing my health, feeling good. I'm singing again, even doing a little bit of dancing...But I have to tell you something very important…”
“I'm getting the chance to see you, to perform for you once again, in Paris. I'm so happy. I'm so ready to do this. I'm feeling good. I'm strong; I'm feeling excited.”
She’ll be performing in concert for only 10 shows this coming September and October in Paris. If you thought it was tough to get Taylor tickets, just wait for this upcoming Céline engagement.
Zendaya
The second name on everybody’s lips? Zendaya. She’s perhaps the busiest actress in Hollywood (after Nicole Kidman, of course).
Her new anti-romcom The Drama, costarring Robert Pattinson, hits theaters this week and is already generating big buzz. But she's also got a ton of other projects headed our way imminently: Euphoria season three, The Odyssey, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Dune: Part Three, Shrek 5...
And all of that is just on screen. Off-screen, the star has sparked huge “she secretly got married” rumors, turned heads in a Vivienne Westwood rewear and managed to get us talking about her footwear. Busy, busy.
Mariska
And finally, there’s everyone’s favorite detective-turned-captain, Mariska Hargitay. In a major flex, Hargitay was announced as the Broadway replacement to the one-and-only Daniel Radcliffe (aka Harry Potter).
Radcliffe is currently starring in Every Brilliant Thing on the Great White Way (the 85-minute play everyone in New York is talking about). Naturally, the show has been selling like gangbusters and receiving rave reviews. And when Radcliffe ends his run in May, Mariska will be taking over for him.
Hargitay gushed about her new role (which happens to be her Broadway debut) in a statement, saying, “I read Every Brilliant Thing and cried, rejoiced, laughed, cried some more, and loved it so much.”
Consider me sold. Looks like I’ll have to fight to get Céline tickets and Mariska tickets now…
