'Las Culturistas With Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang' Is on The 100 Best Podcasts of All Time
Comedy and Fiction Listening to Las Culturistas, hosted by longtime BFFs Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, is like hanging out with your hippest, most hilarious, most in-the-know friends who also happen to have a direct line to your favorite celebrities. In the nine years since launching the show, Rogers and Yang have discussed the joy of making music with Lady Gaga, gay lakes with Cole Escola, and bad veneers with Chappell Roan. Each episode ends with them holding space for their guests to air their grievances in a recurring segment called 'I Don't Think So, Honey,' in which the likes of Charli XCX, Mike Birbiglia, and Mariah Carey are given 60 seconds to rant about their personal bugaboos. (They are also the hosts of their own annual over-the-top send-up of awards shows where, in 2023, the Cate Blanchett Award for Good Acting went to, well, Cate Blanchett, who sent in a brilliantly performed pretaped acceptance speech.) The duo also share their brutally honest takes on pop culture, current events, and their own personal lives. Though, as Tina Fey warned them last year, as the pair's popularity grows outside of the pod thanks to turns in popular movies like Wicked (Yang) and TV shows such as SNL (Yang, again) and Overcompensating (both Rogers and Yang), they may want to start keeping some of their opinions to themselves. Lucky for us, they have not totally reined it in just yet. Of course, Las Culturista fans, better known as 'Readers,' would expect nothing less than pure unadulterated chaos from Rogers and Yang, who have always preferred to serve their tea piping hot.

Rock legend Gavin Rossdale reveals dream of returning to Glasto and why he needs to be on his best behaviour
Gavin Rossdale has spent three decades in the rock 'n' roll spotlight since the release of Bush's debut album Sixteen Stone and admits he's always on his best behaviour now. 'I've been thinking about the kind of people who would pay to do me in,' Gavin laughs as I join him at the Sound Studio in London to celebrate the release of 9 Gavin was speaking exclusively to Bizarre's Ellie Henman Credit: collect 'I'm at the point where I'm a really successful working musician. 'I can never go anywhere where I'm anonymous . 'My behaviour has to be really excellent at all times because there's always someone with a camera phone — but I'm not like Kanye West.' The record, with brilliant tracks like The Land of Milk and Honey and Everyone Is Broken, is an ode, Gavin says, to Bush's fans, who have been with them since they broke into the scene in 1995. READ MORE FROM BIZARRE 'I wanted to make a record for the people who have gotten stuff from our records,' Gavin explains. 'It's about me, but I realised that I'm no different than anyone else. 'I think that everyone is just fighting different battles at all times. But it's important to have so much fun in life. Keep him grounded 'Life is beautiful, but it has its kind of moments where just out of nowhere, people will just f**k with you or life f**ks with you and things happen to you, to people you love. Most read in Bizarre 'So writing a record that spoke to that experience just seemed the most valuable thing to do.' He adds: 'Plus, I don't have any stories of holidays on yachts. So I didn't know what to write about. Gavin Rossdale's new girlfriend Xhoana Xheneti looks exactly like ex Gwen Stefani in his new photo as fans 'look twice' "Every time I look at Instagram, I go, 'Why is that not me?' Gavin is now based in the US but he returned to the UK to walk his model daughter Daisy Lowe down the aisle this month. Back in the US, it's his sons, Kingston, Zuma and Apollo, from his marriage to Gwen Stefani, who keep him grounded. 'My recording room is in the bedroom between two of my kids' rooms,' Gavin says. 'I did a remix of Machinehead, one of our earliest songs, and to be honest, I was impressed with myself. "And my 17-year-old son, who's a really good guitar player, walks in and he goes, 'You're not releasing that?' 'I was like, 'What do you mean?' He goes, 'You're taking legend and you're really destroying it.'' Recalling another grounding incident from Kingston, Gavin adds: 'We were on holiday and I was going on tour two days later. "I had guitars in the house that had been used by the kids and I didn't get a chance to practice. 'I started to play one of the songs and he walked in and he goes, 'Do you want any help with that?' 'I took the bait. I was like, 'Look at this house. This is how we got here!' 'I was super defensive. But he was right. I hadn't been playing so I was a bit fingers and thumbs. "He caught me on an upswing. I was like, 'Come to see our second night on tour and then you'll see, son.'' Bush's new album is the perfect follow-up to 2022's The Art of Survival with Scars and I'm Here to Save Your Life proof that Gavin is still a killer songwriter. 9 Gavin Rossdale says he's on his best behaviour after 30 years in the rock 'n' roll spotlight Credit: Getty He says: 'When you've made a lot of records you do think, does anyone need any more. 'But then you have people say, 'Please don't stop making records.' A girl said this to me outside the back of a gig. 'And that stuck with me.' Next in the works for Gavin and Bush is a UK tour, which will hopefully become a reality next year after they've finished supporting Volbeat. 'The idea of doing that Volbeat tour is to sort of stoke the fires,' Gavin says. 'It's a wild, competitive world. And if you don't take things personally, like for me, I haven't played enough of those festivals. 'But instead of moaning about it, it's just sort of like, get out there, make a great record, do a great show all across Europe and then see what happens.' Glastonbury 2027 could also be in the pipeline — with the festival's next date coinciding with the 25th anniversary of Bush last playing there. 'I thought we did quite well when we played there, but we never went back so it could be time,' says Gavin. 'I would love to play Glastonbury. I still remember that show. 'It's brilliant and it would be 25 years . . .' All the more reason to get Emily Eavis on the blower then, Gavin.

CRPF soldier brutally thrashed by Kanwariyas in Uttar Pradesh's Mirzapur
A shocking incident has came to light in Mirzapur district of Uttar Pradesh where a CRPF soldier was brutally thrashed by a bunch of Kanwariyas. The incident was caught on camera and shared on social media. The footage showed Kanwariyas pinning the soldier to the ground, lashing him with punches and kicks infront of a huge crowd at the Mirzapur railway station. The video of the shocking incident that went viral on social media sparked widespread outrage and condemnation. The confrontation between the CRPF soldier and the kanwariyas was reportedly triggered over an argument regarding the purchase of train tickets, India Today reported. The CRPF jawan was on his way to board the Brahmaputra Mail when he was attacked, the media report said. Following the incident, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) acted swiftly and all seven assailants were taken into custody. After a preliminary investigation a case was registered against the kanwariyas. "Seven Kanwariyas have been arrested in the case of beating up a CRPF jawan," an official said, according to the media report. Meanwhile, Police have initiated action against kanwariyas in Muzaffarnagar for using motorcycles without silencers, a senior official on Friday said. Superintendent of Police (SP)-City, Satyanarayan Parajapat, said that kanwariyas have been asked not to use motorcycles without silencers. A shopkeeper, identified as Honey, has been arrested for providing modified silencers, said Parajapat, adding that police have seized 12 modified silencers from his possession. Over 15 motorcycles, which were running without silencers on Delhi-Dehradun National Highway, have also been seized, police said. Police have arrested four kanwariyas in separate incidents of alleged vandalism and creating a ruckus by blocking the Delhi-Haridwar National Highway in Uttarakhand's Haridwar district on July 15, officials said, reported PTI. On Monday morning, some kanwariyas in Bahadarabad created a ruckus near the Rohalki flyover on the Delhi-Haridwar National Highway "over some trivial matter" and obstructed traffic by putting up barricades, they said. Upon receiving information, Jwalapur Police Circle Officer Avinash Sharma reached the spot and tried to talk to the kanwariyas blocking the route. However, some began abusing the police personnel. They pelted stones at them and at vehicles passing by, police said. According to the police, the kanwariyas were later dispersed using mild force, and two of them were arrested for stone-pelting while others fled.
