‘Dance Moms’ Maddie Ziegler Official Instagram Gets Hacked After JoJo Harasser Sentencing

Maddie Ziegler has become a bonafide success. The 13-year old dance prodigy got her big start on Lifetime's hit reality show 'Dance Moms', which is rumored to be leaving after the conclusion of Season 6. However, it was Maddie’s music video trilogy with recording artist Sia that skyrocketed her to mega fame. But stardom does come with its down side. Maddie Ziegler’s official Instagram was recently hacked. This is just a walk in the park compared to what stars can face from the ghastly and uncharitable amongst us. One of Maddie’s 'Dance Moms' co-stars, JoJo Siwa, was criminally harassed by a crazed man, Phoenix Sundown, who sent her severl pornographic packages. Luckily Sundown was arrested this past September. While in jail and awaiting trial he claimed to be able to talk to JoJo, Maddie and other members of the 'Dance Moms' cast in code via the internet. Sundown was recently sentenced to 3-years in prison.

  • ‘Peter Pan’ Sandy Duncan Joins ‘Finding Neverland’ Cast

    More than 30-years after being nominated for a Tony Award for playing the titular role in 'Peter Pan,' Sandy Duncan will be returning to the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre to replace Carolee Carmello in the Broadway production of 'Finding Neverland.' The 69-year-old triple threat recently explained that returning to a Pan oriented show in the same theater that she once played the boy that would not grow up has brought back memories so vivid they borderline on déjà vu. In addition to Duncan, Tony Yazbeck has also joined the cast as a replacement for lead Matthew Morrison, who is going on to take a recurring role in CBS' 'The Good Wife.'
