The Wiz Live!

NBC is rolling out a big event for the holiday. The reboot of the famed Broadway show is coming back to the screens with an all-star African American cast. Produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, it will premiere on the network.

Will it be a hit or a flop?

The cast includes Shanice Williams, Ne-Yo, Amber Riley, Elijah Kelley, Common, Mary J. Blige, Queen Latifah, David Alan Grier and Uzo Aduba.

It will premiere on the network on December 3rd.

It's been 40 years since The Wiz. The 1975 Broadway production won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The musical was an early example of Broadway's mainstream acceptance of works with an all-black cast.

The Broadway show is an urbanized retelling of L. Frank Baum's classic 1900 children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in the context of modern African-American culture.

Stephanie Mills, who once played Dorothy in The Wiz will make a guest star role as Aunt Em.

The musical inspired a motion picture film that featured Diana Ross, Nipsey Russell, Ted Ross, Lena Horne and Michael Jackson. It was viewed as a flop but remains a cult classic among the fans.

Bobbi Kristina Brown In Dire Straights!

Celebrity agitator Bobbi Kristina Brown is in hospice. 

It's the dire straights for celebrity agitator Bobbi Kristina Brown. The only daughter of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston was found unconscious in her suburban Atlanta home.

They rushed her to a hospital where they tried to revive her. The doctors placed her in a medically induced coma and tried to see if the swelling in her brain would calm. The medication didn't help her and apparently the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is looking into her injuries. Nick Gordon who lived with Brown is being criticized for being negligent and abusive.

She's permanently brain damaged. The doctors exhausted all their hope for her.

Now the family has confirmed that she's in a hospice. The family now can confirm that everything done couldn't help her out of the coma.

Now they're preparing for the eventual demise of the daughter of a legendary singer who met her fate in a Beverly Hills hotel bathtub in 2012.

Pray for Krissy.

Some memorable moments from her official Twitter page.
