See that rabbit sing
America has definitely Got Talent
This week’s water-cooler worthy moment is brought to you by the adorable Darci Lynne Farmer of Oklahoma City. The 12-year-old’s mission: Keep the art of ventriloquism alive (and move on to the show’s next round) by having her rabbit puppet Petunia belt out a killer rendition of Summertime while not moving her lips a millimetre on America’s Got Talent’s season 12 premiere. Mission accomplished. If you’re late to the party, Google it now.
DEMARIO- NO!
We already knew Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay was all kinds of awesome. But the way she handled the situation with DeMario — whose angry ex-girlfriend, Lexi, appeared out of thin air during a group date — put her up there with Wonder Woman. After several minutes of watching a smirking DeMario bicker with Lexi about whether he had properly dumped her before going on the show, Lindsay put an end to the madness by telling him she’s not here to be played or made a fool of and he should “get the f--- out.” It’s not the first time a Bachelorette has laid down the law, but Lindsay’s level of assertion proves she’s serious — and any suitors who aren’t had better stumble over to the mansion exit. ( We mean you, Whaboom Guy.) But wait — at the cliffhanger ending, DeMario returned, and Lindsay agreed to let him explain. Stick to your guns, girl!
SO YOU THINK SHE CAN JUDGE?
Vanessa Hudgens of Grease Live! and High School Musical fame is set to join the panel on the upcoming season of So You Think You Can Dance, which is great and all, but did you also hear judge Mary Murphy is coming back after a three-year break?! Insert shrieks of excitement here. SYTYCD, hosted by another longtimer, Cat Deeley, returns to its original format (where dancers are ages 18-30 rather than 8-13) when it returns for a 14th season on June 12 (Fox).
