Hoehne added that "by celebrating achievements in both audio and visual podcasts, we aim to honour our heritage categories while making room for new voices and formats to be heard". According to the release, only the "top 25 podcasts" will qualify for the award and the category will include a total of six nominees.

The Golden Globes will announce more eligibility criteria in the coming weeks. Comedian Nikki Glaser is set to emcee the glitzy awards ceremony in 2026, marking her second time serving as the show's host after her debut earlier this year. In March, Glaser said that hosting "was without a doubt the most fun I have ever had in my career. I can't wait to do it again, and this time in front of the team from The White Lotus who will finally recognise my talent and cast me in season four as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a shadowy past." entertainment

Chris Hemsworth's wife on why they chose to live Down Under
Elsa Pataky has revealed why she and Chris Hemsworth decided to raise a family in Australia and not her home country of Spain. The actress, 48, who lives in Byron Bay with the Thor star, 41, and their three children, initially didn't want to live in either country, scared it would put pressure on their relationship. 'I made him promise that neither of us would force the other to live in their country, because they were so far apart,' she told But as soon as Pataky set foot Down Under, she fell in love with everything Australia has to offer. 'It ended up happening because he took me to Australia, he showed me Byron Bay, and I fell in love, it was a paradise,' she said. Moving here also meant the mother's dream of being surrounded by lush nature, wildlife and pets could be fulfilled. 'Living in Madrid is complicated when you've already lived in the countryside, in the middle of nature, it's hard,' she said.

Pataky has previously spoken about her and her husband's decision to leave California for the Gold Coast was all about switching up perspective. The couple found Los Angeles, where they were living before, too 'restricting'. 'When you're in Los Angeles, work suffocates you,' she told News Corp in March. 'There, all the conversations, even the billboards you see on the street, have to do with the world of cinema and its industry. 'It can make you lose perspective.' The pair bought their estate in 2014 with the mansion featuring six big bedrooms, indoor and outdoor gyms, a media room, a spa and a bowling alley.

Fans shocked by Sabrina Carpenter's ‘degrading' new album cover
Don't miss out on the headlines from Music. Followed categories will be added to My News. Barely a week after she surprised fans with the release of a brand new single, Manchild, Sabrina Carpenter has delivered another bit of unexpected news: Her next studio album will be released in only a couple of months' time. But, according to some of her fanbase, the album cover is the real shocker. Carpenter announced today that her seventh (!) studio album Man's Best Friend will be released on August 29. She revealed the album cover on social media: A striking photo of Carpenter on her knees, in a short dress and heels, pawing at the leg of a man standing over her. He's pulling on Carpenter's blonde hair like a leash. Sabrina Carpenter's 'Man's Best Friend' album cover... I just hope she's had her worming tablets. Amid the fan excitement to be getting a new album from the star only 12 months after the release of her chart-topping record Short N' Sweet, there's also a discernible amount of shock: This is the album cover? One fan under Carpenter's Instagram post labelled the image 'embarrassing,' others calling it 'disgusting' and 'degrading.' 'Girl is this a humiliation ritual,' one person asked. 'This pic is so embarrassing pick a new shtick,' another complained. 'I dont wanna see no man dragging you around by your hair mother please get up,' begged another. Some fans even begged Carpenter to change the cover. Picture: Getty Images via AFP The album will drop almost exactly a year after her breakthrough Short N' Sweet. Picture: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Others even suggested to Carpenter that it wasn't too late to change the cover, one fan writing: 'Hey can we get a new cover that doesn't suck? Feels very against the powerful busy woman character that you built up …' Carpenter's certainly striking while the iron is hot, dropping her next album hot on the heels of breakthrough record Short n' Sweet, which still sits at number three on the ARIA charts almost a year after its release. 26-year-old Carpenter released her debut single way back in 2014, and while she achieved a few minor hits along the way, it wasn't until last year's world-conquering hit Espresso that she finally hit pop's big leagues, a full decade into her career. That song is still charting inside the ARIA top 30, 60 weeks on from its debut. Since then, she's stacked up a slew of multi-platinum singles in a very short period: Please Please Please, Taste, Bed Chem and latest release Manchild, which is expected to debut at or near the top of the charts in most major markets later this week. Carpenter opened up to her fans about the upcoming album release in an email sent out today to those on her mailing list. 'I didn't plan on releasing a new record however when inspiration strikes, i go to the studio,' she wrote, saying she 'tried not to overthink thr process this time' and was inspired by musical heroes like Stevie Nicks, Dolly Parton and Donna Summer: '[I] was surprised to find so many of those artists i loved put out a new record every year for a long time,' she wrote. 'Can't say that is or will be the norm for me but this time it really eased my mind about putting something out when it feels right!'

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ex says she joined 'cuckold' sex marathons to feel loved by him
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here BREAKING Socceroos lock in World Cup spot with win Under cross-examination, Sean 'Diddy' Combs ' ex-girlfriend testified that she took part in sex acts with male sex workers at the music mogul's request because it made her feel loved by him, but now regrets what she came to recognise as the 'cuckold' lifestyle. The woman testified at Combs' sex-trafficking trial under the pseudonym 'Jane' to protect her identity. A day earlier, she revealed their three-year relationship lasted until the Bad Boy Records founder was arrested in September at New York hotel, where she'd been planning to meet him. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges that carry a potential penalty of 15 years to life in prison. He has been jailed without bail. Sean 'Diddy' Combs, seen here at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, has returned his symbolic key to New York City. (Getty Images via CNN) Prosecutors allege Combs used violence, threats and a network of employees and associates to control and abuse women for two decades. His lawyers have told the jury in federal court in Manhattan that although there was domestic violence in his relationships, everything he did sexually was consensual. Earlier in the trial, R&B signer Casandra ' Cassie ' Ventura testified over four days that Combs physically abused her and that she participated in hundreds of 'freak-off' sexual performances during a nearly 11-year relationship that ended in 2018. The Associated Press doesn't name alleged victims of sexual abuse without their consent unless they have shared their identities publicly, as Cassie has. Attorney Teny Geragos, representing Combs, cross-examined Jane on Tuesday by leading her into discussing the drug-fuelled sexual marathons choreographed by Combs - which Jane said sometimes happened weekly - by reminding her that she mentioned regrets in earlier testimony. 'I resent him for leading me into the lifestyle he led me to,' Jane said. 'I resented the way he went about introducing me to this lifestyle.' She said she agreed to these 'hotel nights' while 'under a lot of emotional pressure' — and already hooked on love and a desire to stay in a relationship with Combs.

(Elizabeth Williams via AP) (AP) Jane testified that she partook in the encounters, sometimes grudgingly, because they pleased Combs and she enjoyed spending time alone with him afterward. Jane testified she began therapy about three months ago. She previously met with lawyers on Combs' defence team but cut off those meetings in April, days before the trial began. She said she struggles to understand why she kept participating in 'hotel nights' even though she only wanted to have sex with Combs, however the reasons are 'becoming more and more clear' as she proceeds with therapy. Jane initially felt it was 'something very special' to have these secret sexual experiences with Combs. She said she didn't want to judge him and 'really wanted to just go along with these things because if I can be my partner's escapes than I would be.' Jane said she researched sexual variations in 2022 and came across the words 'cuck' and 'cuckold,' which seemed to fit the lifestyle she found herself in because she said a man known as a 'cuck' derives pleasure seeing 'his woman receive pleasure' from another man. 'He likes to use the words 'voyeurism' and 'escapism,'' Jane said. She added: 'I would use the word cuck for him more so.' Geragos reminded Jane that she had testified last week that she loves Combs currently. Geragos had Jane read aloud some of the many sexually explicit messages in which she expressed the types of activities she wanted to engage in during 'hotel nights' with Combs and male sex workers as she tried to portray Jane as a willing and eager participant in frequent sex events. In earlier testimony, Jane provided recent examples of Combs acting violently toward a woman while seeking to fulfill his sexual desires. Cassie sued Combs in November 2023 alleging sexual abuse. The lawsuit was settled within hours for US$20 million (A$30.65 million), but it touched off the criminal investigation into Combs. World courts Sean Diddy Combs USA crime CONTACT US
