  • Amy Schumer Enlists Tim Gunn to Star in Princess Video Spoof

    Amy Schumer no doubt wanted to live in a ‘happily-ever-after’ princess video, but it simply wasn’t meant to be. The funny lady enlisted the help of Tim Gunn for a Comedy Central clip of her own fairy tale. She titled in Princess Amy.

    The clip, which made its way online Wednesday, features Amy Schumer as a peasant girl living in a remote cabin. A narrator says, “Amy was just a regular, ordinary girl in the Kingdom of Agribar, until one day, her most impossible dreams came true,” as Schumer is seen singing to herself and tidying her cabin.

    Enter Tim Gunn in his role as Willenby, Amy Schumer’s ‘royal attache.’

    “It’s time you knew the truth,” he tells her. “You’re not a disgusting, filthy commoner at all! You’re a princess!”

    Amy Schumer’s fairy tale clearly deteriorates as she meets other characters–one of whom she plays in disguise.

    Perhaps Amy Schumer is a disgruntled Disney princess at heart? Which one do you suppose she imagines portraying? Rapunzel? Belle?

    It really doesn’t matter. She’s hilarious.

    So is Tim Gunn.

    Maybe the two have a future with Disney?

    Or maybe not.

  • Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi to Star in ‘Tangled’ on the Disney Channel

    Mandy Moore and Zacahary Levi are bringing the Disney animated film Tangled to the small screen. Tangled–a box office hit from 2010–will become an animated series on the Disney Channel beginning in 2017, with Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi reprising their roles as Rapunzel and Eugene, respectively.

    The Disney Channel issued a press release about the TV series on Thursday.

    “The series will premiere in 2017 on Disney Channels around the world,” it reads.

    Gary Marsh is the president and chief creative officer of Disney Channels Worldwide. He added, “The genius of the original movie was its seamless blending of cinematic adventure, character-driven comedy and touching emotion. And we are fortunate to have several of the creative talent from that movie on board with this new production.”

    The TV series will be set between the 2010 film and the 2012 short film, Tangled Ever After, which also starred Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi.

    Mandy Moore shared her excitement about the Disney Channel series via Twitter.

    Zachary Levi followed suit.

    “The animated series unfolds as Rapunzel acquaints herself with her parents, her kingdom and the people of Corona. Her irrepressible spirit and natural curiosity about the world drives her to the realization that there is so much more she needs to learn before she can truly accept her royal destiny. She boldly puts her crown and impending marriage on hold to seek out epic adventures,” the release continued.

    Does someone in your home love Rapunzel? Will he or she be happy to learn that Tangled is coming to the Disney Channel?
