How Lewis Hamilton helped shape the F1 movie soundtrack
The upcoming Formula One film, "F1," starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, is set to feature a massive soundtrack, "F1 The Album," releasing alongside the movie on June 27. The album, spearheaded by Atlantic Records, the team behind the "Barbie" album, will include original music from a diverse array of artists such as Chris Stapleton, Blackpink's Rosé, and Tate McRae.
Film producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Joseph Kosinski, and Atlantic Records West Coast President Kevin Weaver collaborated to create a soundtrack that mirrors the intensity and global appeal of Formula One. Weaver noted that the selection of artists was driven by the film's narrative needs, aiming to find voices that best complemented specific moments in the movie.
Kosinski emphasised the importance of reflecting the sport's global nature through the soundtrack, incorporating artists from around the world. Ferrari driver and seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton, who consulted on the film, reinforced this need for inclusivity. The soundtrack features a mix of genres, including pop, Afrobeat, electronic, and country, resulting in a collection of 17 tracks designed to appeal to a broad audience.
Artists found inspiration in various ways, with some, like Rosé and Chris Stapleton, creating music in response to specific scenes. Ed Sheeran wrote "Drive," with John Mayer and Blake Slatkin, specifically for the film's end credits, inspired by lyrical prompts related to Pitt's character. DJ Tiësto, who also appears in the film, contributed "OMG!" featuring rapper Sexyy Red, blending dance music with high-energy racing vibes.
Roddy Ricch, another contributor, sees his song "Underdog" as a motivational anthem about overcoming doubts and finishing the race of life. Kosinski hopes the soundtrack will introduce listeners to new artists and spark interest in Formula One.

I've tried for ages to potty train my toddler, then he watched ONE Ms Rachel's video and started doing it immediately
A MUM has been left stunned after her toddler managed to conquer potty training after watching just one Ms Rachel video. The 32-year-old explained in a clip on TikTok that she had tried for some time to potty train her little boy, but it hasn't "been going that well". 3 3 So when her husband sent her a video of someone saying that their toddler had potty trained themselves after watching Ms Rachel's new video, she thought it couldn't hurt to try. And imagine her surprise when just one viewing of the catchy video was enough to make her son start taking it seriously. "I watched it today with my toddler and later, as he was eating a popsicle, he stopped and said 'I have a poop feeling', which is what Ms Rachel says in her video," she marvelled. When he said that, she told him "let's go", took him to the potty and he did it. "And wow everyone, Ms Rachel!" she said. "I mean I'm sure we all know Ms Rachel for so many reasons, she is a real one!" And in the comments, the mum quickly found out she wasn't the only parent to have found the Ms Rachel video a game changer. "That episode completely changed our potty training journey too!" one wrote. "Protect Ms Rachel at all costs!! "MY ONE AND HALF YR OLD WATCHED IT TWICE- TWIIIIICE," another shouted. Ms. Rachel reveals she secretly welcomed a baby girl via surrogate and announces 'sweet' name after YouTube absence "He's been using the damn potty ever since- it's been like what a WEEK since it released? "THANK GOD FOR THAT WOMAN!" "My 22 mo watched the episode Thursday and by Sunday she had pooped in the potty," a third admitted. "The video is brilliant. My toddler is only 18months and she's doing so well in her potty training," someone else wrote. "We watched this episode for a few days and out of nowhere, my toddler is running to the bathroom saying, 'I have to potty!!!'" another gasped. "How many times did he watch it before this happened???" someone else asked the mum. Who is Ms Rachel? SHE'S arguably the most famous person on kids' TV at the moment, and has just had a whole line of toys and booked released for her fans. But just where did Ms Rachel come from, and how did she find fame? Ms Rachel's real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, and she worked as a music teacher in a public pre-school in New York before starting her YouTube channel. The Songs for Littles channel was created after she discovered there were barely any resources for her son, who had a speech delay. The tunes, made up from classic children's songs and nursery rhymes, with a twist, were composed by Rachel and her husband - Broadway composer Aron Accurso. She also started on TikTok, where she acquired over two and a half million followers by March 2023. She has also faced her fair share of controversy, such as when she offered to sell Cameo videos to raise money for Save the Children - mentioning the Gaza Strip, Sudan, Ukraine, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Rachel said she was "bullied online" for the move, and has since disabled comments on some of her Instagram, TikTok and YouTube posts. The highly-anticipated Ms Rachel toys were released in September, and are expected to be one of the biggest sellers this Christmas. To which she replied: "Just once!" "What juju did Ms Rachel activate to get all these kids hypnotised into action???" another questioned.

Cheeky Pepsi copies Coca-Cola's most famous campaign: 'I NEED ONE'
Pepsi is cheekily borrowing a page from Coca-Cola's playbook. 'Share a Pepsi' is a new campaign that riffs off Coke's iconic idea of putting names on bottles. Pepsi's twist is skipping people and going straight for the food — with labels like 'burgers', 'pizza', and 'tacos' front and center. 'Definitely prefer a burger over a Bruce,' joked one Instagram user. The idea is that soda fans pair drinks with their favorite foods. Coca-Cola's 'Share a Coke' campaign became a cultural phenomenon when it first hit shelves in 2014, letting people find bottles with their name — or send a flirty message via soda. Coke even revived it this year, offering digital custom bottles and a chance to win a trip to Hawaii. The promo runs through June 30, with chances to win a free limited-edition bottle on social or via the Pepsi Drops platform. Fans can also get $5 off DoorDash when they order two Pepsis. Pepsi has been one of Coca-Cola's longtime rivals despite being dethroned by Dr Pepper as the No 2 soda brand in the US. It's also one of the beverages heavily affected by tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump since much of its concentrate is made in Ireland. Fans praised Coca-Cola for reviving its 'Share a Coke' campaign last April. The limited-time special debuted in the US in 2014 and ran through 2018. However, the company revamped it by allowing drinkers to access a Share a Coke digital hub, where customers can personalize products. A Share a Coke truck has also been making stops in various cities in the US to give fans in-person digital experiences. If that wasn't enough for people to rave about, the company is also giving them the chance to win a trip to Hawaii and Share a Coke-themed merchandise. Everyone interested in trying for a Hawaiian adventure has until June 22 to enter the contest. Besides 'Share a Coke,' Coca-Cola is planning to revive its fan-favorite Diet Cherry Coke. The soda, which will return in retro-style packaging, will be back in various retailers nationwide beginning in mid-July for a limited time. Outside of the campaigns and products, the soda brands were the talk of social media due to noticeable drink swaps. Subway made headlines last year by ending its relationship with Coca-Cola and entering a 10-year agreement with PepsiCo. All Subway restaurants in the US have been offering Pepsi beverages since January, which left Reddit users wanting nothing to do with the sandwich chain. Costco also sparked a social media frenzy by announcing its plan to swap Pepsi for Coca-Cola drinks in its food courts. However, unlike Subway, multiple Reddit users were thrilled about the change because they're not Pepsi fans. The retailer revealed the machines would be replaced this summer, but customers spotted the first one in March during the grand opening of a store in California.

CNN's Sara Sidner breaks down as she shares emotional tribute to MTV VJ Ananda Lewis
CNN anchor Sara Sidner struggled to hold back tears as she issued an emotional report on her friend and broadcast peer, former MTV VJ Ananda Lewis. In a special report, Sidner paid tribute to Lewis, who died on Wednesday after a seven-year battle with breast cancer. The co-anchor of CNN News Central was joined by network correspondent Stephanie Elam to share their heart wrenching reaction to Lewis' death in a vulnerable segment. Elam and Sidner have also battled breast cancer, and in only October last year had come together with Lewis to share their individual journeys with viewers. On Wednesday's broadcast, Elam revealed she had visited Lewis in the hospital to say goodbye just one day ago. Elam revealed that she was covering the protests in Los Angeles when she got the heartbreaking call that Lewis' health was declining. 'So, I drove to be with her and held her hand, and told her how much I love her,' Elam said, holding back tears. 'Two thirds of my life she has been my ride or die. We have been there, going through things, we would text, and we would message each other all the time,' she continued. 'I was planning on getting off the air yesterday and going back to see her,' Elam said, adding that after she finished the broadcast, she saw a text from Lewis' sister letting her know that her friend had passed away. Elam added that she was 'so glad' she got to see Lewis the night before her death and wanted everyone know that the former MTV star was a peace. 'She was at peace with this decision, she had come to grips with it,' the CNN reporter said. Lewis had battled breast cancer for nearly seven years, and decided to take a nontraditional route with her treatment. She didn't undergo a double mastectomy when she was first diagnosed with the disease, and the cancer eventually spread. Elam admitted that Lewis was 'hard headed' at times, but praised her friend for dealing with her diagnosis in her own way. Elam then revealed the last text Lewis sent her, which read, 'You know my feelings on this. We all go, these bodies are on loan and must be returned. 'We come in love and choose to leave it with love as well.' Lewis then told Elam in her final messages, 'I love you, my wonderful lifelong bestie of besties.' Elam and Sidner remembered Lewis as an 'awesome' mom, auntie, and friend, praising the MTV star's legacy. 'She was always trying to help people through things herself, whether it would be something funny like, you know, your skin care, your skin routine, or fixing up your house,' Sidner said. CNN had shared a special story last October to look at the different ways breast cancer can be fought. While Sidner opted for the double mastectomy, Lewis decided to try homeopathic remedies along with medication and radiation. 'My plan at first was to get out excessive toxins in my body. I felt like my body is intelligent, I know that to be true. Our bodies are brilliantly made,' Lewis told Elam and Sidner on CNN. 'I decided to keep my tumor and try to work it out of my body a different way,' she continued, before adding: 'Looking back on that, I go, 'You know what? Maybe I should have.'' Elam (right) said that even though Lewis was 'hard headed' about her decisions, she praised her friend's ability to go about cancer in her own way Lewis then revealed her cancer spread to her lymph system, forcing her to have 'a conversation with death.' The former MTV VJ later clarified her comments and said she considered getting the mastectomy, but wasn't able to as California hospitals deemed the surgery a non-emergency operation during the Covid-19 lockdown in 2020. In a post on Instagram in February, Lewis admitted to her followers, 'It doesn't matter how bad things are in my body right now. What does matter is keep you out of this club. 'There are things I wish I did differently like 10 years ago to prevent cancer and I am talking about them.' Lewis then urged her followers to focus on prevention measures, adding 'preserving your health is way easier than fighting to get it back.' Sidner and Elam praised Lewis' candor during their on-air tribute and said they believed their friend saved many lives by urging regular mammograms. Lewis rose to fame in the 1990s, hosting shows on MTV like Total Request Live, Hot Zone, and Spring Break. She then hosted a daytime talk show, The Ananda Lewis Show, in 2001 for one season. Lewis was a correspondent for The Insider from 2004 to 2005 and then became a carpenter, hosting the 2019 revival of While You Were Out on TLC. She is survived by her husband Harry Smith, whose brother is A-list actor Will Smith, and her 14-year-old son, Langston.
