Thursday night, 11.5 million people tuned in to NBC’s 3rd live show, The Wiz Live!, making it the most sucessful one yet.

And I know why.

The story of a young lost girl who journeys through a magical land, just trying to find her way back home, is timeless. Set to the same funky music of the original 1975 Broadway musical, but also keeping one of the songs from the 1978 movie starring Michael Jackson and Diana Ross, this rendition was a delight from start to finish. It also trended during the entire broadcast, thanks to some serious live tweeting.

NBC is keeping up with its now annual holiday tradition of live musical theater with The Wiz Live!

This event airs live Thursday, December 3rd at 8:00pm ET on NBC, and stars Queen Latifah as The Wiz, and David Alan Grier as The Cowardly Lion.

Check out the sneak peek and preview videos below.

Last night’s Lip Sync Battle brought us the talented performing powerhouse of Queen Latifah, who did “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It)” by En Vogue, and “Rock The Bells” by host LL Cool J himself. A member of the Wayans comedy dynasty, Marlon Wayans came out strong and performed “Happy” by Pharrell, and Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me.”

Watch the videos below.

Lip Sync Battle pits Queen Latifah Vs. Marlon Wayans, and that should be a show. Just from the bits they released so far, you know it’s going to be over the top. Wayans, host of I Can Do That variety show, does “Happy” by Pharrell, and the Queen, star of HBO’s Bessie, performs “Rock The Bells” by host LL Cool J himself.

A few days ago, we posted a sneak peek photo unveiled by Disney of actress Olivia Wilde being made up to look like the Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves with the headline, What’s Olivia Wilde Up To With Disney?.

We had a few guesses as to what Wilde was up to, one of which was the possibility of her being involved in a new series of Disney Dream Portraits by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz. Turns out, that’s exactly what it was.

Disney Parks Blog has revealed the new photo series, which takes well-known celebrities and transforms them into the role of famous Disney characters, all with stunning background scenery. See all three images from the new series here below.

The first trailer for Ron Howard‘s new comedy, The Dilemma, has been released online.

The movie stars Vince Vaughn and Kevin James as best friends and colleagues, who seem to have everything going for them. They impressive some important people at work, they both have great girlfriends (Jennifer Connelly and Winona Ryder), and all seems perfect…that is until one of them spots his buddy’s lady-friend messing around with another guy. This puts him in the unfortunate position of having to choose between breaking the bad news and jeopardizing all that is going so well, or just letting it be what it is.

The Dilemma doesn’t really look like a Ron Howard movie; not until you spot Clint Howard, of course. But it does look like it could be a pretty funny buddy flick.
