Ariana Grande's red carpet request to photographers days after being ambushed by fan
Ariana Grande has asked for some grace from photographers on the red carpet, days after she was ambushed by a fan.
The actress, 32, posed on the red carpet of the final premiere for her new film, Wicked: For Good, but found herself distracted by all of the photographers shouting at her in unison.
Her co-star Cynthia Erivo, 38, also seemed to be signalling to photographers to stop yelling.

Finally, Grande grabbed a staff member and asked them to tell the photographers to tone it down.
After the camerapeople calmed down, the actress continued posing, telling them, "This is so peaceful, see?" with a smile.
In another clip, she was seen telling them, "I promise you'll get your shot," after asking them to stop yelling at her.

The red carpet request comes days after another incident that left fans shocked.
When at the Asian premiere of the film in Singapore, Grande was accosted by a self-professed serial "stage-invader", Australian man Johnson Wen.
The 26-year-old had jumped the barricade and charged directly towards the actress, wrapping his arm around her.
She seemed visibly shocked and traumatised, with Erivo jumping into action and putting herself in front of her co-star, pushing him away.
Wen was then escorted away by security as the cast caught their breath and processed what happened, before continuing down the yellow carpet.
For his stunt, "Pyjama Man," as he is known online, pleaded guilty to one charge of being a public nuisance and was sentenced to nine days in jail.

Singapore District Judge Christopher Goh told Wen, who has crashed other celebrity events, that his "act was premeditated" and "showed a pattern of behaviour, which suggests that you will do it again," according to The Daily Mail.
The maximum penalty Wen faced was three months' jail, a fine of $1,500, or both.
