Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen may be unrecognisable to a lot of people these days, but she assures you, she is indeed Cindy Lou Who from The Grinch. In recent years, the 27-year-old has made a name for herself as a singer and songwriter, and indeed, she is now best-known for being the lead vocalist of her rock group The Pretty Reckless. Such is the extent of her transformation, some people have absolutely no idea that she once helped Jim Carrey's heart grow three sizes. "It's certainly funny now when people don't realise I played Cindy Lou Who," Momsen told the Today show. "They might know me from my music or something and they put two and two together and you get the giant reaction of 'I can't believe that's the same girl from How the Grinch Stole Christmas!'" "I get a huge kick out of that," she said. "I grew up, but I think deep down I've still got a lot of Cindy Lou Who in me." The singer went on to explain how the film had a huge impact on her life and career thanks to the song 'Where Are You Christmas', which Cindy Lou sings in the movie. "The Grinch was the first time I went into a recording studio," she said. "I'll never forget walking into this beautiful studio with a massive console in front of me and putting headphones on and singing into a microphone for the first time. "It was such an impactful moment in my life. It made me go, 'I want to make music for the rest of my life'. I love being in a recording studio."

The Grinch - SNL
Dua Lipa finally made it back to the Saturday Night Live stage on Dec. 19, 2020, to help close out the year on NBC's long-running sketch comedy show. Billboard's 2020 Powerhouse Award winner had originally been scheduled for a performance in March to promote her new album Future Nostalgia, but her appearance was canceled as the show went on hiatus as much of the country went into lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The singer-songwriter -- who made her first SNL appearance in February 2018 -- kicked off with Future Nostalgia's lead single, "Don't Start Now." Dressed in a leopard-print bustier, the showed off her vocals with the catchy tune on a festive stage decorated with holiday lights, garlands, and a wreath. Toward the end of the song, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, Lipa gave a cheerful shout-out: "SNL! Happy holidays!" she said. The artist ended the song by blowing a kiss to viewers.
For her second song, Lipa brought her appearance to new heights with "Levitating," the latest single from her sophomore album. Dressed in white Valentino couture -- complete with the gigantic feathery hat that moved like jellyfish tentacles in the breeze -- she delivered her latest hit. (Her remix of the tune featuring DaBaby reached No. 20 on the Hot 100.)

In short, Carrey stars as the antisocial Grinch who absolutely hates Christmas. The bitter and hateful Grinch becomes increasingly irritated at the thought of the nearby village planning their big Christmas celebrations. To ruin their holiday, he disguises himself as Claus (and his dog to look like a reindeer) and travels to the village to raid it of all of the presents, trees and decorations. But after a run-in with a little girl, he begins to have a change of heart. Based on Dr. Seuss’s book of the same name, How the Grinch Stole Christmas also stars Taylor Momsen (Gossip Girl), Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development), Christine Baranski (Mama Mia), Bill Irwin (Lady in the Water), Molly Shannon (Never Been Kissed), Clint Howard (The Waterboy) and Mindy Sterling (Austin Powers). Oh, and we can’t forget Kelley who plays our beloved Max the dog. What better way to get into the holiday spirit than with a little comic relief from our good pal Jim? In the words of Mr. Grinch himself, “Cheer up dude, it’s Christmas!”

Given the fact that the original The Grinch movie is one of the best holiday movies of the 2000s according to IMDb, it was tough to ever remake, especially after the Ron Howard directed movie had such a vivid art direction, but Illumination Studios tried its darned hardest. Though neither of the movies will ever be in the running for the crown for the ultimate Christmas movie, both of them have some incredible moments. The animated remake is full of creative uses of animation that any other animation studio would be jealous of, but there are also things about it that reminds audiences why the original is so much better. Though the new movie was released to tepid reviews and wasn’t amazingly received by general audiences either, The Grinch is still full of charming humor. Whether it’s the Grinch throwing verbal abuse at his pet dog, Max, or the way that he has an enormous 20-feet tall chalk board only to write one thing in the very middle of it, the movie features tons of gags. Even in certain scenes, there is a lot of visual comedy that audiences’ attentions aren’t drawn to, which makes for a great second viewing. Between the way the citizens of Whoville look and the way they treat every day like Christmas, it’s easy to think that they could be intoxicated or under the influence of something, and not just Christmas spirit. And the set design of the 2000s The Grinch fuels that theory too, as the quirky, spiral buildings are completely trippy and straight out of one of Hunter S. Thompson’s fever dreams, but it’s what makes the original completely unique. The casting of the live action movie was wild, as not only was Jim Carrey’s casting nothing short of genius, but the supporting cast including Jeffrey Tambor and Molly Shannon was fun too. However, the casting for Illuminations vision is completely uninspired, as it sees Benedict Cumberbatch lay on the same fake accent he adopted for his role of Dr. Strange, and Pharrell Williams narrating the movie, which clearly comes off the heels of composing the music for Illumination’s Despicable Me movies.
