Mason Thames and Mckenna Grace were seen out in New York City this weekend!

The 19-year-old actor and the 20-year-old actress stepped out for a celebrity party hosted by Raising Cane’s owner and founder Todd Graves on Sunday (July 19) at Sartiano’s in the city.

For their outing at the pre-World Cup party, Mason wore a black shirt, tan pants, and a black ball cap.

Mckenna donned a Miu Miu eyelet poplin top with a matching skirt.

The night before, Mckenna and Mason were seen attending another Raising Cane’s party, held at Zero Bond.

While Mckenna was pictured laughing while speaking with Todd Graves, Mason was standing right next to her, where you could just see the same hat he wore the next day.

If you didn’t know, the young actress is no stranger to Raising Cane’s.

Back in May, Mckenna joined the restaurant brand at the Miami Grand Prix in Florida!

Last month, Mason joined Mckenna in Atlanta, where she’s filming the upcoming live-action Scooby-Doo: Origins series, where he celebrated her birthday on an aquarium date alongside her parents.

She also recently celebrated his birthday with a cute TikTok video, where they can be heard singing an acoustic cover of Olivia Rodrigo‘s “honeybee.”

Malia Baker is opening up about the Worlds Collide Concert Tour!

The 19-year-old Descendants: Wicked Wonderland star will not be hitting the road later this year with her co-stars for the 2026 fall tour.

In a new interview, Malia revealed the reason why she’s not a part of this year’s tour, and confirmed that it’s NOT because she wasn’t asked.

Malia was invited but chose not to go on tour this year

“I got the invite,” she said on the Zach Sang Show before joking, “They didn’t like me on the last one.”

“No, I did. It was just, I didn’t feel like it was… it didn’t fit,” Malia added. “I never wanted to be a pop star or a singer. I feel very grateful that this life has led me to those opportunities, to even experience what that would be like for a millisecond.”

She went on to explain that she would rather be on set than on tour.

“I was like, ‘Wait, remember. You really like sets,'” she said.

While she won’t be on stage, she seemingly has plans to attend to cheer on her friends/co-stars, and experience it from the audience’s perspective.

“I’m really excited to cheer them on because they work so incredibly hard on these things,” she said.

What Malia said about touring in 2025

“We went from shooting the last Descendants, Wicked Wonderland, straight into working on the tour,” she said. “I remember within like a two-day turnaround I was in LA doing rehearsals in Burbank, and I was like, ‘I just did this song. I can’t remember what to do.’ And like the songs are the same from the movie, so the choreography is different. So your brain just goes through a whole whirlwind. Um, and then yeah, learning like the Zombies songs and learning the OG Descendants songs was so wild and so cool.”

“I don’t think I would have ever, singing was never like my all-time dream,” Malia added. “To just be able to have that experience with the people involved in particular, I think, was life-changing and a moment that I’ll never forget, just because it is so, that’s not an everyday thing at all. I don’t take it lightly.”

In addition, Hudson recently released his debut single “Overthinker” after signing a record deal with Disney’s Hollywood Records.

What is the history of The Mickey Mouse Club?

The Mickey Mouse Club was first created by Walt Disney himself, with the first TV series debuting in 1955 and running through 1959. It then had a revival from 1977 to 1979, and once again from 1989 to 1996, featuring many stars you know today – Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Keri Russell, Christina Aguilera, Ryan Gosling, JC Chasez, Nikki DeLoach, and more.

In 2017, Disney brought it back again as Club Mickey Mouse, acting more like a reality show than a variety program, running for seven weeks. XO, Kitty star Regan Aliyah was in that cast.

Descendants: Wicked Wonderland is finally here!

Kiara Romero, Alexandro Byrd, and Liamani Segura are among the new additions to the cast for Disney’s fifth installment in the Descendants franchise.

Ahead of the movie’s premiere this week, Just Jared Jr caught up with the trio to get the scoop on joining the franchise, their favorite set from the movie, what they hope fans take away from the film, and more!

What was it like joining such an established franchise? Did you have reservations, nerves, or was it just pure excitement?

“All of those feelings,” Alexandro shared with us. “Every single one of those emotions balled up into one. I mean, all of us felt very honored and blessed to be a part of it. But you know, just like the first day of school, you know, first day, it’s nerve-wracking. You don’t know what you’re getting into. You don’t know if, you know, I remember being nervous.”

“I was like, Oh, I hope Kylie [Cantrall] and Malia [Baker] are nice,” he added. “You just don’t know what to expect. But it was flawless. It was so great. And they led the way wonderfully.”

Kiara and Liamani agreed with his sentiments.

The set is so detailed and full of life. What was it like walking onto the set for the first time?

“Oh my goodness. I remember walking on set for ‘Dancing with the Enemy’ and seeing the chessboard for the first time,” Liamani dished. “‘Cause we went in for rehearsals to rehearse and mark the dance before we went to film. But I remember looking at it and everything was life-size, like the grass, like the picnic table. It was practical. Everything was real.”

“The board lit up,” Kiara added.

“The fact that we were able to actually touch and feel and not like, cause you know, we had to use our imagination, but not that much because everything was already there for us, so it was crazy,” Liamani added.

“Yeah, it was incredible. Just the scale of everything. That’s so cool to see in person,” Kiara said. “And also filming at the actual Auradon Prep. That was also crazy.”

What do you hope fans take away from this latest installment?

“I think the power of friendship is such a big theme in this movie,” Liamani tells JJJ. “Just being there for the people that you really love. I think in this movie, Pink has her ride or dies, you know, she really met all her big brothers and sisters, and it’s such a big theme of we’re in this together, and we’re going to figure this out together.” Figure it out, figure it out together.”

“I think it’s such a big theme and I think the power of friendship is so powerful and also sisterhood. Literally sisterhood. Like me and Red, I think that’s also a really big theme. That’s really sweet,” she added.

Can you describe the movie in three words?

“Oooh…” Kiara says as they all share a laugh.

Alexandro says, “Adventure, dance, and fire?”

“No, dance!” Liamani agrees.

“Oh, there was one, I just lost it… Come on, folks, come on folks, give me a third one, let’s go,” Alexandro puzzles.

“Empowering! There we go, that’s a good one,” he adds as the ladies agree. “Yeah, we locked in right here.”

You’re all going on tour later this year. How excited are you to bring the movie that you spent so much time working on to life and in front of fans?

“It’s just so insane,” Kiara says with excitement. “I can’t wait to perform these songs live and hopefully people will know the lyrics and, you know, to see little Hazel dolls. It’s just such an honor and it’s such a blessing. I can’t believe we get to go to Europe next year. It’s just going to be such an incredible experience. I’m so excited.”

Alexandro added that he can’t wait to see people dressed up as their characters.

“No, it really is just such an honor, and it’s such a blessing to be able to go to all these cities and share the joy that we have for these songs, for these franchises,” Kiara continues. “I’ve grown up dancing and singing, so I’m just excited to do this every night with my best friends. It’s going to be crazy.” All right.”

“Yeah!” Liamani adds, with Alexandro exclaiming, “Let’s go!”
