Our childhood hearts are bursting.

It has been 26 years since Brandy played Cinderella in Disney's 1997 made-for-TV version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella.

In the adaptation, Cinderella was mistreated by her stepmother (Bernadette Peters) and stepsisters. Everything changed when her Fairy Godmother (the late legend Whitney Houston) granted her an unforgettable night that altered her path forever when she fell for the charming Prince Christopher, who was portrayed by Paolo Montalban.

On Wednesday, Disney+ shared a video on social media revealing Brandy and Montalban—now King Charming—on the set of the upcoming musical fantasy Descendants: Rise of Red, directed by Jennifer Phang.

And the world is collectively losing it.










The Rise of Red is the fourth installment of the Descendants franchise. It follows the story of Red, the daughter of the Queen of Hearts, and Chloe, the daughter of Cinderella and King Charming, as they travel back in time to change the course of history in hopes of stopping an impending coup.

Aside from Brandy and Montalban, the cast includes Malia Baker as their daughter, Kylie Cantrall as Red, Rita Ora as the Queen of Hearts and Melanie Paxson as Fairy Godmother. Ruby Rose Turner, Morgan Dudley, Joshua Coley, Jeremy Swift and Leonardo Nam are also set to appear in the film.

A release date has not been announced, but we can confirm that it is not soon enough.

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
