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.

Newsmax Host Epically Blasted For His Hypocrisy After Defending Trump's Profane Easter Tweet

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.

Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The crew member, a weapons systems officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft Friday but was able to walk and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day.
