Midler and Light join the cast for season one that includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Lange, Zoey Deutch, Lucy Boynton, Bob Balaban, David Corenswet, Julia Schlaepfer, Laura Dreyfuss, Theo Germaine, Rahne Jones,
The Politician will debut September 27 on Netflix.
]]>Multiple outlets confirm that Midler will sing “The Place Where Lost Things Go” from Mary Poppins Returns at this year’s Oscars. The song and its composer, Marc Shaiman, are nominated for best original song alongside “All the Stars” from Black Panther, “I’ll Fight” from RGB, “Shallow” from A Star Is Born and “When a Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings” from The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.
Midler took to Twitter Saturday to announce the news. She was immediately retweeted by the Academy.
“So, (drum roll) Ladies and Gentlemen, I will be chanteusing (that’s singing) on the Oscars on Feb 24…the nominated song from “Mary Poppins”…”The Place Where Lost Things Go” …so excited!!” she wrote.
“As a child of the ’60s, I grew up obsessed with the Mary Poppins soundtrack, learning everything about songwriting and film scoring from it,” Shaiman, who is expected to accompany Midler on piano wrote on Facebook. “As a teenager in the ’70s, I became obsessed with new star Bette Midler, who fate amazingly led me to, resulting in our 40-year relationship. Could I have ever imagined that one day Bette Midler would sing a song I co-wrote with Scott Wittman for a sequel to Mary Poppins at the Academy Awards?! My heart is exploding.”
The song was originally performed by Emily Blunt in Mary Poppins Returns.
The Oscars will be held on February 24 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
]]>Midler is getting wicked again confirming that she has joined Freedom’s Hocus Pocus reunion special.
Almost a month after the network announced that they’re reuniting all three sisters to honor the iconic film’s 25th anniversary, Midler has confirmed that she’s in on the fun.
A video posted on the network’s YouTube page features Midler saying in her Winifred Sanderson voice “Wait, wait a minute. What’s a Sanderson sister celebration without Winifred?” The 72-year-old actress then shared the video on Twitter writing, WHAT A HOOT!! JOIN US AS “WE FLY!”
Midler will join Kathy Najimy and Sarah for the movie’s Anniversary Reunion Bash. The special is hosted by Vanessa Hudgens and Jordan Fisher and will feature musical performances and exclusive interviews.
The special will air October 20 as part of Freedom’s 31 of Nights of Halloween lineup.
