After years of criticism directed at Disney for giving in to stereotypes when portraying non-white characters and their cultures, one of the most refreshing aspects of the studio's latest 'princess' film is the creators' dedication to depicting the world of the title character with dignity, accuracy, and depth.

This week on SNL, Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton (Kate McKinnon) came out of the woods to visit a US Elector and remind her of that all-important task this holiday season: keeping Donald Trump from becoming President. Inspired by the movie Love Actually, Clinton employed a series of notecards to silently go through all the reasons Trump must be stopped when the electoral college votes on December 19th. Clinton even tells the elector that she doesn't have to vote her, suggesting John Kasich, Zendaya, and Tom Hanks as worthy alternatives.

Perhaps Natalie Portman's long-overdue return to the Great White Way should be as the star of a musical.

Sutton Foster's start on Broadway is the real-life version of the stuff movie musicals are made of; one week before the opening of Throughly Modern Millie on Broadway, Foster received a call from director Michael Mayer, bumping her up from understudy to the star of the show—and the rest is musical theatre history. This morning, Foster sat down with CBS' Mo Rocca to chat about her journey as a Broadway actress, and her current starring roles in TV Land's Younger and The New Group's Sweet Charity. When speaking about the latter, in reference to recovering from her divorce several years ago, Foster said, “What's interesting is that I know [Charity], because I think I have been her, but luckily, I don't feel like I'm her now.”

According to White, he and Trump 'Agree: it's time to 'Make America Cook Again.' [They] wanna fill this nation with red, white, and a whole lotta blue.' When discussing resistance he might face to his appointment considering his lack of political experience, White acquiesced that Congress 'might get hung up on the fact that [he] faked his own death; [he's] only the third person in the Trump cabinet to do that.'
