If you are wondering who is taller, you or Ariana Grande, or you are just a big fan who is dying to take a selfie with the American pop star, then you are about to get lucky!

The Madame Tussauds Museum has recently unveiled a new wax statue of the 27-year-old singer, which her fans said it is far more like her than a former version exhibited few years ago at London-based Madame Tussauds.

"Finally, they made a statue that looks like Ariana Grande. It looks great," a Twitter user said commenting on a video shared by the museum.

Fans living in California will be the first to see Grande's new wax statue, which will be exhibited exclusively for fan clubs for few weeks, before being added to the main collection.

Grande, whose height is 154 cm, didn't comment on the news of her new wax statue yet.

Oscars host Conan O'Brien says he's still unable to live in his home due to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles and that the show's organizers “want to be sensitive to what's happened” to residents.

“Everybody I know has been affected,” O'Brien told The Associated Press Friday. “I’m out of my house. Fortunately, my house, ... the fire got very close but my house survived. But we won’t be back in there for a long time. And I’m the lucky one. I mean, I know so many people who lost their homes and I’m just, was ridiculously lucky. So we want to make sure that that show reflects what’s happening and that we put a light on the right people in the right way.”

Thousands of Angelenos had their homes destroyed in wildfires that tore through the Pacific Palisades and Altadena neighborhoods this month. Many of those whose homes survived cannot yet return due to smoke or other damage.

O'Brien was tapped last year to host the 97th Academy Awards, which will be held March 2 in Los Angeles. The fires twice postponed the academy's nominations announcement, which was held Thursday; “Emilia Pérez” emerged as the leading nominee.

The fires have upended Hollywood's awards season and effectively turned it into a pledge drive. Some have questioned whether the Oscars should be canceled but its organizers say they will transform the show in a way that “unites us as a global film community and acknowledge those who fought so bravely against the wildfires.”

“We want to be sensitive to the moment and we want to be sensitive to what’s happened,” O'Brien said Friday. “It is top of our minds and we are talking about it a lot.”

“The Oscars is still I think it’s five weeks away. And we want to make sure that we process all of that and that we put on the best show for March 2. Not the best show that we thought of tonight. Not the best show for March 3, the best show for March 2 that reflects what people are feeling in that moment.”

O'Brien, the former “Tonight Show” host, spoke at the premiere of his latest film, “If I had Legs I'd Kick You,” which also stars Rose Byrne.
