Alix Earle Teases 'Lots of Plans' After Pausing Her 'Hot Mess' Podcast for the Unseeable Future
Alix Earle teased her future career plans on the Kentucky Derby red carpet after announcing the pause of her podcast.
The social media star teased she'd be down to try acting.
Earle, who attended the Kentucky Derby with her boyfriend Braxton Berrios, has been putting out weekly vlogs instead of podcasting.
Alix Earle is plotting.
The social media star, 24, isn't showing any signs of slowing down since pausing her Hot Mess podcast last month, and told E! News that there's a lot in the works for her career in the future.
"[I have] lots of plans, lots of dreams," Earle told the outlet on the Kentucky Derby red carpet at Churchill Downs on Saturday, May 3.
The TikTok personality didn't mention any specific plans, nor did she confirm or deny exactly what she had in the works but had a good reason for keeping mum.
"I don't want to jinx anything," said Earle, who attended Kentucky Derby weekend with her boyfriend Braxton Berrios.

Earle was then asked about venturing outside of the podcasting world to pursue another medium completely, to which she teased the potential of making a transition from the tiny screen to the big screen one day.
"I think acting is fun,' she shared. "I would love to explore that."

Earle announced on TikTok on March 26 that she was taking a break from podcasting. "I have to put a pause on podcasting now for the foreseeable future," she said at the time.
In the video, she said that she couldn't "get into the details" of why the podcast was paused, but shared that she would be putting out "weekly vlogs" for her fans instead.

With lack of an explanation for pausing her podcast upon first announcing the news, rumors of a feud started to swirl between Earle and Alex Cooper, founder of the media company Unwell Network that formerly backed Hot Mess.
Cooper, though, was quick to squash speculation that the podcast network was behind the Hot Mess pause with a post on her Instagram Stories and TikTok that same day.

"Alix not being able to podcast has nothing to do Unwell," the Call Her Daddy host wrote. "[I don't know] why she can't/what's going on."
Cooper also clarified that "Unwell gave [Alix] back everything" and that Earle "owns her IP," noting she "learned from the best" and tagged Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy.
Variety first reported that Cooper's Unwell Network dropped Earle and her podcast on Feb. 25. The outlet also confirmed that Cooper's network renounced their rights to Hot Mess and that SiriusXM will no longer sell ads for the show.

A stretchy, hard-to-find ice cream arrives in the Bay Area
In the Bay Area, we are blessed with ice cream. Soft serve; ice cream made with Japanese dairy; maximalist scoops studded with chocolate-dipped potato chips; floats with fermented fruit sodas; anchovy sundaes; pints created by a pastry chef who studied at a gelato university in Italy. We have incredible Indian, Turkish, Mexican and Persian ice cream. Yet the region has long lacked booza, an Arab ice cream known for its distinctly stretchy texture. No longer: Roast & Toast, a new cafe in Berkeley, has become one of the rare local sources for the treat. Roast & Toast opened at 1746 Shattuck Ave. in January, with emerald-green walls and Arabic music playing over the speakers, but only recently started selling fresh-made booza. Owner Fadi Alhour, a native of Palestine, noticed booza trending on TikTok in the Middle East, thanks in part to a viral song in which an employee from a Dubai booza shop rhythmically chants the treat's main ingredients while workers use giant mallets to pound the frozen treat into creamy, stretchy existence. 'It's trending,' he said. 'So many people are asking for it.' Unless you're looking for it, you might miss the booza in Roast & Toast's glass scoop case, tucked among tubs of salted caramel and matcha gelato. It's dense and chewy — spoonfuls of booza stretch elastically like a seductive cheese pull. Roast & Toast tops it with chopped pistachio and kataifi, shreds of sweet phyllo dough. Booza, sometimes referred to as the world's first ice cream, dates back to the 15th century. It was popularized by Bakdash, a famed shop in Syria that opened in 1885. Booza is typically made with milk, cream, sugar, salep (orchid root tubers) and mastic, a natural tree resin also used to make gum. While most ice cream is churned, booza is traditionally pounded by hand with a large pestle. Alhour, though, believes the pounding is 'just for show' (and indeed, it's part of the social media attraction). He argues the mastic and salep are what sets booza's texture apart. He's been tinkering with the recipe for months, first on a home ice cream machine, and then a fancy gelato cart displayed prominently inside the cafe. He grinds the mastic by hand in a mortar and pestle — he learned an electric grinder causes it to clump and stick together — and mixes it with pure, powdered salep sourced from Turkey. A little goes a long way: He mixes about a teaspoon of each with milk, cream, sugar and rose water for the base mixture. After 10 minutes in the gelato machine, the booza transforms from loose liquid to bulbous, marshmallow-like density. It is so thick that it's broken the machine multiple times. Roast & Toast serves an original booza flavor and another with cardamom and rose water. Alhour writes down flavor ideas when they come to him; future experiments may include dark chocolate, matcha or brownies. He had never made ice cream before this, nor run a food business. He previously operated a mechanic shop and a shipping business, where he would often make espresso for friends. The coffee interest begat a cafe, then one that served sandwiches, then ice cream. Before Roast & Toast, booza has been underrepresented but not totally absent in the Bay Area. Some Middle Eastern grocery stores in the region sell pints of booza from a Texas company. Similarly chewy Marash-style ice cream is on the menu at San Francisco Mediterranean restaurant Dalida; fresh booza can also be found at Levant Dessert, a Middle Eastern bakery in Menlo Park, Levant owner Maya Fezzani, grew up in Lebanon and Syria and has memories of eating booza at Bakdash. She's been making it for several years in Menlo Park. Her shop doesn't have the capacity for hand-pounding, so here it's churned, flavored with orange blossom and rolled into a pistachio-covered log. Fezzani has mostly kept things classic flavor-wise, though she is working on an apricot version. She also seized on the viral Dubai chocolate trend to make a sundae layered with booza, chocolate, kataifi, pistachio and tahini. Whether booza will catch on in the U.S. remains to be seen. 'It's up to the market,' Alhour said. But, like in the Middle East, a video on Roast & Toast's Instagram has already been drawing in customers.
