Ariana Grande Just Took Another Lie Detector Test And Was Asked About The Moon Landing—And It Didn't Go Well

The Wicked: For Good star took Vanity Fair's lie detector test once again, this time with costar Bowen Yang—and when he pressed her on if she still thinks the moon landing was faked, Grande tried her best to pivot.

Ariana Grande definitely believes in somewhere over the rainbow and the concept of defying gravity, but you know, maybe the moon landing in 1969 is up for debate.

Last year, while touring to promote Wicked, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande appeared on Vanity Fair for one of their infamous lie detector test interviews, during which Grande's responses about the moon landing were "inconclusive" and even "deceptive."


Glinda the Good returned this year, this time opposite her Wicked costar Bowen Yang, to clear the air. But the air might be murkier than ever before.

While chatting with Yang, Grande admitted that she could "see both sides" of the moon landing debate. Previously, while talking to Cynthia Erivo, she also questioned why there wasn't more footage, which has been a common argument among those who believe the landing was faked.

Yang sat back and laughed, stating:

"You're not helping your case!"

Grande threw back:

"You're not helping my case!"

While Yang was still laughing, Grande pivoted, pointing out:

"The truth is, I don't give a rat's a** about the moon. I'm worried about Earth, godd**n it!"
"We're burning alive! We're killing each other! Can we worry about Earth for five minutes?"
"Who gives a f**k about the moon and the flag?"

To this, Yang applauded her before they moved on to other topics and incomparable Lorne Michaels impressions.

It's hilarious how flustered Grande gets while talking about the "fake" moon landing and other conspiracy theories, but she does have a point.

With so much going on in the world right now, maybe we should focus on the situation here.

Jeff Bezos Just Claimed That Trump Is 'More Mature' In His Second Term—And Critics Can't Even

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos sent heads spinning after claiming during a CNBC interview that President Donald Trump is a "more mature, more disciplined version of himself than he was in his first term."

Bezos, discussing a man who has attacked voting rights multiple times, previously suggested he might try to stay in office indefinitely, and continued to make erratic (and ironic) statements about presidential candidates needing cognitive exams, told anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin that Trump is much more mellow and calmer than he was during the first Trump administration.

In one instance, the name Michael D. Gonzales was announced while two women received their diplomas.

Mandy Moore Finally Spoke Out About That 'Toxic Mom Group' Drama—And She Didn't Hold Back

People might hope that when they make a new friend, they'll be friends for life. But the truth is, most friends will only be there for a reason or a season, like going to school or working together.

For former High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale, that season was new motherhood, a time when she was eager to meet women who understood the questions she had about babies and raising them, but also preferably women who understood what it was like trying to juggle being a successful businesswoman with being a mom, too.

JD Vance Just Tried To Give His Historical Hot Take On Pope Leo's Name—And He Missed The Point Entirely

Vice President JD Vance made a point that seemed pretty obvious to everyone except him when he, mentioning Pope Leo XIV, gave his take on the historical context around the tenure of Pope Leo XIII, who led the Catholic Church from 1878 until 1903.

Speaking at a White House briefing focused on the possible impact of the pope’s upcoming encyclical on artificial intelligence, Vance highlighted the symbolism behind Robert Francis Prevost, the first U.S.-born leader of the Roman Catholic Church, choosing the name Leo XIV.
