The three-time Grammy Award-winning rapper and actress made her Broadway debut as Zidler, the flamboyant impresario of the Parisian nightclub, on March 24. Ahead of opening night, the 31-year-old visited the Al Hirschfeld Theater to get a sense of what she was stepping into.

On March 4, Megan shared a video on Instagram documenting her Broadway experience. She began by giving her followers a tour of the theater’s VIP room, where she noted her fans, whom she calls “fan fan fans,” gather. “They come get their drinks, congregate, and turn up,” Megan explained. She suggested that fans dress in period-appropriate attire when attending performances to make the experience even more special.

Megan, who became the first female-identifying performer to play the Moulin Rouge emcee in any production worldwide, also offered a first look at her costume. The outfit included a white structured bodysuit with a plunging neckline, black tights, black boots, and a black top hat. “This is me in my fitting,” she said, showing herself in front of a mirror. “I’m so excited that a lot of this stuff fit me on the first try because I have a long torso. How did they know?”

The video also featured milestones from her Broadway journey, including the excitement of seeing her face on a large Times Square billboard. Another clip showed her posing on the theater’s mezzanine with the stage in the background. Megan captioned the clip, “I’m officially in rehearsals hotties.”

_Moulin Rouge! The Musical_ is adapted from Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 film. Directed by Tony winner Alex Timbers with a book by John Logan, the show combines iconic songs from the movie with modern hits, featuring a score that spans over 160 years of music, from Offenbach to Lady Gaga. The story follows Christian, an American in Paris at the turn of the 20th century, who falls in love with Satine, a performer at the cabaret club.

RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Bob the Drag Queen completed his limited run as Zidler on March 22. Megan’s tenure in the role concluded on May 17, with the musical playing its final performance on July 26.

Megan said joining the Broadway team was an honor and a chance to challenge herself creatively. Producer Carmen Pavlovic called Megan’s casting a milestone, praising her global influence and describing the moment as a key part of the show’s closing celebrations. Tickets for the musical were on sale as Megan prepared to bring her own energy and style to the Broadway stage.

JANICE DICKSON LEVELS EXPLOVES NEW ALLEGATIONS AGAINST TYRA BANKS

The fallout from the Netflix documentary Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model continues to intensify as the show’s original “first supermodel” judge, Janice Dickinson, has come forward with new claims regarding Tyra Banks. In a candid interview on the Glossy Confessions podcast aired on March 3, 2026, Dickinson described Banks as a “hardcore bitch” whose behavior behind the scenes was far more aggressive than what was shown to viewers.

Dickinson, who served as a judge for the first four cycles of the hit reality competition, alleged that Banks harbored a deep-seated competitiveness that frequently manifested as hostility toward the contestants. Specifically, Dickinson claimed that Banks displayed a troubling pattern of “going harder” on Black contestants. According to Dickinson, this behavior stemmed from a place of “insecurity and professional jealousy,” with Banks allegedly feeling threatened by young Black models who possessed the potential to rival her own legacy in the high-fashion industry.

One of the most harrowing revelations from the interview involved an unedited incidentfrom an early cycle. Dickinson claimed she witnessed Banks “go off” on a young woman with such intensity that the atmosphere on set became physically uncomfortable. “It was verbal assault, plain and simple,” Dickinson stated. “Tyra went off on this girl so bad that I actually felt the urge to jump in. I wanted to hold her down—not to hurt her, but to literally stop the energy of the attack. It was vibrating through the room.”

While the documentary touched on the infamous “WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU” outburst directed at Tiffany Richardson, Dickinson suggests that similar, even more vitriolic incidents were scrubbed by editors to preserve Banks’ “mentorship” persona. Dickinson argued that the show’s environment was designed to break the spirits of the women rather than build them up, with Banks acting as the primary enforcer of a “toxic power dynamic.”

Representatives for Tyra Banks have not yet issued a formal response to Dickinson’s specific claims of jealousy-driven targeting. However, in the Reality Check docuseries,Banks maintained that her “tough love” was a necessary preparation for the brutal reality of the modeling world in the early 2000s. As the push for a 25 th cycle of ANTM continues to face significant public pushback, Dickinson’s testimony adds a layer of firsthand validation to the grievances long held by former contestants.

Tyler Perry is seeking to have a $77 million sexual assault and battery lawsuit against him dismissed, arguing in court filings that the claims are baseless and financially motivated.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Perry describes allegations made by model and actor Mario Rodriguez as outlandish falsehoods “that have no basis in fact or law and no merit.” In the filing, Perry alleges that Rodriguez repeatedly sought financial assistance after being cast in what Perry characterises as “a very minor role in a single” film project.

Rodriguez appeared in Perry’s 2016 film Boo! A Madea Halloween. Court documents state that Rodriguez allegedly requested money for expenses including a car, apartment, medical services and unpaid bills. Perry claims that when he stopped providing financial support, Rodriguez fabricated allegations that their relationship was nonconsensual.

The lawsuit accuses Perry of making unwanted advances and engaging in inappropriate conduct. Rodriguez has alleged that after filming concluded, Perry aggressively pursued him and at one point inappropriately groped him.

Perry has denied all allegations and is asking the court to dismiss the complaint in its entirety, requesting that Rodriguez be awarded nothing. The case remains ongoing.
