Can You Feel The Love Tonight? Disney Drops “The Lion King” TV Spot Featuring Beyoncé And Donald Glover [VIDEO]

Disney’s “The Lion King” revealed an extended TV spot this morning featuring the voices of Donald Glover (Simba) and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter (Nala), who perform the iconic song “Can You Feel the Love Tonight.” Tickets for the feature film are available for advance purchase starting tomorrow. Here’s more about the movie: Disney’s “The Lion King,” directed by Jon Favreau, journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival. Scar, Mufasa’s brother—and former heir to the throne—has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his. Staying true to the classic story, Favreau utilizes pioneering filmmaking techniques to bring the iconic characters to the big screen in a whole new way. Also featuring James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa and Billy Eichner as Timon, Disney’s “The Lion King” opens in U.S. theaters on July 19, 2019.

Jess Hilarious Posts & Deletes That Her “Soulmate” Kountry Wayne Is Better Off Going Back To His Wife

Source: Paras Griffin/Jeff Kravitz / Getty Jess Hilarious Vents Over Kountry Wayne Situation Jess Hilarious had some stuff to get off of her chest last night, pretty obviously pertaining to her real life. The comedian posted and deleted a rant about a familiar situation involving a married man: “You ever been in a situation where you just rushing to find love so you jump and get married? But THEN you find your soul mate?” Jess said about the situation. “So now you leave her, get with somebody else, and 4 months later ya’ll break up. So now you looking dumb. Then you get to thinking to yourself ‘maybe this b-tches soul wasn’t what I thought it was cracked up to be.’ Maybe that’s why you should’ve cheated with her first. Like a test run, just to see.” Interesting, because Jess Hilarious and married stand up comedian Kountry Wayne dated earlier this year. They went public with their relationship in January but called it quits officially at the end of April. The four-month relationship ended on good terms according to both parties. During their courtship, Kountry Wayne gifted Jess a house . Recently, he’s been back to focusing on his career and his 9 children, but did he return to his wife? Happy Father's Day pic.twitter.com/CcVFpcwyuU — Kountry Wayne (@kountry_wayne) June 16, 2019 Jess seemingly confirms that Wayne maybe working things out with Gena , his legal wife. She continued her bit about a confused man: “Everything be good in the beginning but then you find she [your soulmate] smoke, but you don’t smoke…she drink, you don’t drink…you vegan, so you eat plants, she don’t…she rolls them up. So, now you see your wife’s soul may be a little better. She just got boring for a second. But that’s why you say ‘for better or for worse’. When the going gets rough you can’t just go around auditioning for souls like it’s a damn TV show. Stay with your wife.” Interesting! Fun fact, Kountry Wayne is a proud vegan who doesn’t drink or smoke. He also refrains from cursing in his acts. Comments started pouring in on Jess’ take on this and she eventually deleted the rant, but you can catch a part of it HERE.
