Here's a great Disney villain rendition of the "Cell Block Tango" number from Chicago. It was done by a talented group of people gathered together by American Idol finalist Todrick Hall. It also stars fellow Idol alums Pia Toscano and Adam Lambert, as well as Broadway star Shoshana Bean, Make it or Break It's Cassie Scerbo, Glee's Amber Riley, So You Think You Can Dance's Blake McGrath, and singer Kimberly Cole. They take on the roles of The Little Mermaid's Ursula, 101 Dalmatians' Cruella De Vil, Snow White's Evil Queen, Sleeping Beauty's Maleficent, Alice in Wonderland's Queen of Hearts, and The Lion King's Scar.
The video was made in the spirit of Halloween, and I've included the original version of "Cell Block Tango" below for comparison. ...

Ready to have your Halloween costume put to shame? American Idol finalist turned Youtube sensation Todrick Hall gathered together a star studded cast and crew that includes fellow Idol alums Pia Toscano and Adam Lambert, as well as Broadway star Shoshana Bean, Make it or Break It's Cassie Scerbo, Glee's Amber Riley, So You Think You Can Dance's Blake McGrath, and pop singer Kimberly Cole to reimagine "Cell Block Tango" from the hit Broadway show Chicago as performed by Disney villains. It's devilish, delicious and tipped by The Mary Sue. The original song was sung by six alleged murderesses on Death Row in Crookem County Jail awaiting trial. In the darkly funny tune, each one lays out why she was the real victim, not the wretched man she murdered. In the above clip, Hall blends Disney's iconic baddies with fan fiction and some on-point cosplay to weave...

The internet wins big again today because here we have a drop-everything-and-watch-this-right-now mashing of some of Disney's most (dis)favored villains and the "Cell Block Tango" from "Chicago." Yes, really. Happy Tuesday!
See, "American Idol" alum Todrick Hall apparently has a thing for animated classic fairy tales and gathered up a bevy of fellow TV and/or Broadway stars (namely, Adam Lambert, Shoshana Bean, Cassie Scerbo, Amber Riley, Blake McGrath, Kimberly Cole and Pia Toscano) to create this crossover between the familiar musical number about a jail full of murderers and the House of Mouse's very finest baddies just in time for Halloween.
Now we know who the real divas of Disney are.
First up is Cruella de Vil — which, if this is what the studio's new live-action movie on her'll be like, go ahead and count us in — who asked for spots not dots from her henchmen-turned-victims, Jasper and Horace.

Hollywoodnews.com: Though most of the eyes were on Lady Gaga at the MuchMusic Video Awards in Canada Sunday night, international superstar (and Toronto native) Justin Bieber did manage to wrestle the spotlight away from the “Born This Way” sensation to claim two trophies of his own.
Bieber won International Video Of The Year By A Canadian for “Somebody To Love” featuring Usher. He also took home the Ur Fave New Artist award for the remix version of “Somebody to Love (remix).”
And Bieber won the unofficial prize for best comedic line of the evening when he spoke to the show’s co-host, Selena Gomez, staing, “Nice to meet you. You’re very beautiful. Maybe we can go out sometime.”
Here’s a complete list of Sunday night’s Mmva 2011 winners:

The Canadian Press -- Toronto - Lady Gaga won two awards and provided a double shot of her trademark edgy, eccentric stage theatrics at Sunday's MuchMusic Video Awards — but it was a surprise appearance from beloved teen-pop star Justin Bieber that really sent fans into a frenzy.
Bieber wasn't promoted as one of the evening's celebrity guests, but the 17-year-old teen-pop titan from Stratford, Ont., seemingly couldn't resist coming out to support his girlfriend Selena Gomez, the Disney-reared star who hosted the outdoor bash.
The couple may have shared a kiss at the Billboard Music Awards a few weeks ago, but on Sunday they shared the spotlight, inspiring a screaming throng of teens that clogged downtown Toronto streets all day to elevate their shrieking to a deafening crescendo.
"I want to say thank you so much to all my fans, you guys are amazing," Bieber said as he accepted his first award of the evening,...

The search for America’s favorite dancer is back! “So You Think You Can Dance” kicked off its fifth season last week, and last night, we got the chance to see the Miami and Memphis auditions, where thousands of pointy-toed contemporary dancers and bright-eyed poppers and lockers showed up for the chance to dance their way into America’s heart and to go on to a life of fame and fortune … or not.
Wait — where are all the former “Sytycd” contestants? As Kris Allen basks in the glory of his “American Idol” win, we couldn’t help but wonder what life after “Sytycd” looks like.
Since focusing on the competition’s winners would be a tad depressing (where is Sabra Johnson?), we decided to look back at what the show’s most successful, or at least most visible, graduates are doing now — and where you can find them next:
