Bette Midler | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Bette Midler might just be a bigger fan of Hocus Pocus than all of the fans put together and she’s opening up about the possibility of getting back into character as Winifred Sanderson once more for the sequel plans.

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, the 74-year-old actress excitedly shared that she “can’t wait to fly!”

While that’s not an official confirmation, it seems Bette is 100% on board for it.

“Oh, yeah,” she added. “We’re just talking logistics.”

Plans for a sequel to the popular 1993 film were announced last year just before Halloween, and Disney+ later revealed that Adam Shankman would be directing the pic, taking over the reigns from Kenny Ortega.

Earlier this summer, Sarah Jessica Parker, who played Sarah Sanderson in the original film, also opened up about being a part of the next movie. See what she said here…

Here’s what the original cast is up to now…

The trailer for The Glorias has arrived, and features an amazing star-studded ensemble cast!

The film traces famed feminist activist Gloria Steinem’s influential journey to prominence—from her time in India as a young woman, to the founding of Ms. magazine in New York, to her role in the rise of the women’s rights movement in the 1960s, to the historic 1977 National Women’s Conference and beyond. Julianne Moore and Alicia Vikander both play Steinem at different stages of her life.

The film also features icons Dorothy Pitman Hughes (Janelle Monáe), Flo Kennedy (Lorraine Toussaint), Bella Abzug (Bette Midler), Dolores Huerta (Monica Sanchez) and Wilma Mankiller (Kimberly Guerrero).

The film will debut on Amazon Prime Video on September 30. Be sure to check it out!

Bette Midler is admitting that one of her tweets about Melania Trump and her speech at the Republican National Convention was wrong.

The legendary singer and actress live-tweeted the first night of the RNC earlier this week and she also had some commentary for Melania‘s speech on night two.

“Oh, God. She still can’t speak English,” Bette tweeted while Melania spoke from the Rose Garden at the White House.

Bette was criticized from people on both the left and the right for this tweet. The next day, she apologized for her comment.

“Well, all hell has broken loose because I said Melania ‘still can’t speak English’ last night. I was wrong to make fun of her accent. America is made up [of] people who speak with all kinds of accents, and they are all welcomed always,” she tweeted.

Bette celebrated some very happy news for her family earlier this year.

Bette Midler is one of Trump‘s most outspoken critics in Hollywood and she live-tweeted the first night of the 2020 Republican National Convention.

While there were too many tweets to include them all here, we gathered some of her biggest digs at Trump and the rest of the night’s speakers.

One of the most memorable moments of the night was when Kimberly Guilfoyle gave her speech, in which she appeared to be screaming at the camera.

“Kimberly, turn it down, your needle is in the red! It sounds like you’re f–king up a Juilliard audition monologue!” Bette tweeted. “#KimberlyGuilfoyle is a real yeller. No wonder Don Jr. is so into her. She makes him feel like a kid again!”

Bette also had plenty of digs at Donald Trump Jr. Read a bunch of the tweets below.

Sophie von Haselberg is a married woman!

The 33-year-old daughter of iconic actress Bette Midler said “I do” to a mystery guy, Page Six first reported.

Sophie shared a first pic of her wedding with a sweet, but very real, caption.

“In the midst of COVID, a piece of $h!t president, and the power and poignancy of the Black Lives Matter movement, I got married!” she announced. “Because honestly, WHY NOT.”

She adds, “It’s great to have cake smeared on your face by someone you love! And hot DAMN do I love this man!”

Bette also shared the news with a paper called Manila Report.

“It was a pandemic wedding, a very small wedding, and her husband, her new husband, hasn’t had a haircut in three months,” she revealed. “So she looked online on how to cut hair and she gave him a pretty good haircut. I mean, that is the world we are living in now.”
