Michelle Obama and brother Craig Robinson launch new podcast series
The podcast, which premieres on today, aims to provide a space for honest conversations about life's complexities. With the world facing challenging times, Michelle Obama hopes the podcast will offer moments of light and understanding. The siblings will discuss everyday issues like family dynamics, relationships, and personal growth, all while featuring special guests from various fields.
The podcast will also welcome prominent guests such as actors Issa Rae and Keke Palmer, soccer star Abby Wambach, authors Jay Shetty and Glennon Doyle, and media mogul Tyler Perry, among others. These guests will join Michelle and Craig to provide insights, share stories, and offer advice. New episodes will be released weekly on all audio platforms and YouTube.

Rosemi, who debuted in July 2021 as part of the OBSYDIA generation alongside Petra Gurin and Selen Tatsuki, discussed her decision to leave during a livestream shortly after the news was made public. Anycolor shared a timeline of important dates for fans as the graduation approaches. Rosemi's social media accounts will close on the same day as her graduation, August 29. Memberships will remain available until August 31, 2025, while her YouTube channel will stay online with non-membership videos accessible to the public.

Despite her departure, Rosemi's existing public content, including streams and original songs, will remain available on her YouTube channel. With her accounts closing at the end of August, Rosemi's graduation marks both the conclusion of a four-year journey and another shift in Nijisanji English's evolving lineup.

Amelia Dimoldenberg finally spills on Andrew Garfield rumours and names her dream
Amelia Dimoldenberg, the sharp-witted creator of the hit YouTube series Chicken Shop Date, has finally addressed the much-discussed rumours surrounding her chemistry with Andrew Garfield, while also naming the celebrity who ranks as her ultimate guest. Over the years, the 31-year-old has shared awkward, charming, and often flirty fast-food encounters with some of the biggest names in entertainment, from Jennifer Lawrence and Billie Eilish to Ed Sheeran and Jonathan Bailey. Yet, despite an enviable roster, it was Formula 1 star Damson Idris who Amelia called her 'dream date,' praising his charm and playful energy. 'He definitely understood the assignment,' she told Porter. 'I love it when the guest flirts back and leans into the idea of it being a date.' Idris, she revealed, delivered exactly that. However, the internet frenzy has been far louder when it comes to her interactions with Garfield. The pair first drew attention at the GQ Men of the Year Awards and again at the Golden Globes, where their banter was described by fans as 'off the charts.' By the time Garfield appeared on Chicken Shop Date in 2024, anticipation was sky-high. During the episode, their conversation turned cheeky when Amelia asked him to choose between Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire, and herself in a Snog, Marry, Avoid game. Laughing, Garfield dodged choosing her over the Spider-Man actors, before leaning in and teasing, 'This is called flirting, Amelia!' That moment went viral, amassing over 12 million views on Facebook alone. Amelia admitted the reaction felt overwhelming, comparing the flood of messages to the attention one might get after announcing an engagement. Now, she has set the record straight: 'We're friends. I saw him at the Oscars, he's a great guy, a great person. We've got such a great dynamic.' As for her future wishlist? She's eyeing Nathan Fielder, Skepta, Giggs, and even Miss Piggy for her next unforgettable 'dates.'
