Ariana Grande will make a cameo appearance in upcoming comedy "Zoolander 2". Ariana's big-screen debut news is revealed by Susan Sarandon following the "Problem" songstress' donut-licking controversy. Susan previously supported Ariana on Twitter.
Today, lick a doughnut in solidarity with @ArianaGrande. A sweet, talented, true American.

For all you concerned about #DonutGate, I suggest you Google Roundup, Monsanto & GMOs & put your angst into something really threatening.

In an interview with Vulture, published on Friday, July 10, Susan explained her tweet, "Well, I just worked with her. We did 'Zoolander 2' together, in Rome. She couldn't be more professional or sweet. Her mom is great. Clearly [her remarks were] taken out of context."
"But of all the things - if only that energy was put to the study of the effects of GMOs, which affect your health a lot more than licking a doughnut. People should be outraged by what Monsanto is doing, not Ariana," she added, "She's smart, and she's a really great, very talented person. It's just ridiculous they're jumping on her the way they are."
"Zoolander 2" is directed by Ben Stiller with a script from Ben and Justin Theroux. Ben also stars in the comedy flick along with Owen Wilson, Penelope Cruz, Christine Taylor, Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig. In addition to Ariana, Justin Bieber will appear in the "Zoolander" sequel which is scheduled to hit U.S. theaters on February 12, 2016.
