Zayn Malik Surprises Fans with New Lifestyle Collection Inspired by His 'Quiet Love' of Cooking
Zayn Malik is inviting fans into his kitchen. On May 30 the singer, 32, announced his first lifestyle collection, called "Scoville Season," which offers oven mitts, aprons, tea towels, T-shirts and sweatshirts inspired by his love of cooking. "I spend a time of time in my kitchen cooking. Scoville Season is a natural extension of that and it gives me an opportunity to share part of my culinary experience with my fans," he tells PEOPLE in a statement. "I get to bring some of my favorite everyday items to life for others to use and I'm excited about it." Malik has showcased his cooking chops over the years on social media and previously revealed his go-to dish on an episode of Hot Ones. "Signature dish... I guess that's the thing I cook the most, so I actually cook this thing called tandoori chicken quite a lot," he told host Sean Evans. "If I was to make a meal, probably spaghetti bolognese: spaghetti, minced meat... tomato, garlic. "You can use carrots sometimes... and I'm getting pretty good at sneaking vegetables in there for my daughter," he added of Khai, his 4-year-old child with ex Gigi Hadid. As he released his latest album, Room Under the Stairs, last year, Malik opened up about drawing from his low-key life in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. "I was pretty much on my farm having a glass of whiskey and listening to a bit of [Chris] Stapleton by the fire with my dog, playing guitar," he told Nylon of writing the body of work.

‘Awards Chatter' Live Pod: Sean Evans on a Decade of ‘Hot Ones,' Buying the Show From BuzzFeed and Interviewing Secrets
Sean Evans, the host of YouTube's Hot Ones — an unconventional interview program that launched a decade ago advertising itself as 'the show with hot questions, and even hotter wings,' and has gone on to release 369 episodes that have attracted more than 4 billion views and featured the consumption of some 3,000 spicy chicken wings — is the guest on this episode of The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chatter podcast, which was recorded in front of a journalism class at Chapman University. Hot Ones has been described by Vanity Fair as 'the closest thing the Internet has to a late-night talk show' and by the New York Times as 'a breakthrough pop-culture phenomenon' — the show has even been spoofed on Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons — while Evans, 39, has been hailed by Forbes as 'among the country's most revered interviewers' and by Bloomberg as 'the David Letterman of Generation YouTube.'

New McDonald's sauces bring the heat more than ever
"Hot Ones"is a phenomenon that no one saw coming. The premise is, honestly, weird. If you're not familiar, the laid-back host, Sean Evans, sits down with celebrities and, over a plate of 10 chicken wings doused with progressively hotter sauces, asks them a series of thoughtful questions. The celebrities are distracted and sometimes distraught by the spicy food, which can result in unexpectedly intimate conversations, as well as some outright hilarity. "Hot Ones" launched on YouTube in 2015, and in the 25 seasons and 350 episodes since, Evans has interviewed some of the most A+ of the A-listers you can think of, and has made many of them cry. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter The likes of Tom Holland, Shaq, Jennifer Lawrence, and Margo Robbie have run the "Hot Ones" gauntlet. "'Hot Ones' - a breakthrough pop-culture phenomenon in which stars eat 10 progressively fiery wings (or, increasingly, a vegan substitute) while being asked 10 deeply researched questions - has built itself into an online pillar, holding steady amid the shifting tides of digital media," says The New York Times. Related: Pepsi makes major change that will anger some customers The show has nearly 15 million subscribers and more than 4 billion views on YouTube, plus millions of additional followers on Instagram and TikTok. No wonder McDonald's wants in on the action. McDonald's recently launched three "Hot Ones" sauces, but here's the bad news: the sauce collab is only happening in France. At least for now. McDonald's France offers: Hell Piñata: A smoky chipotle-infused mayonnaise with a mild kick, registering at a relatively mild 10,000 Scoville units. Thaï Toi: A sweet and sour blend featuring ginger and lemongrass, packing a punch at 70,000 Scoville units. Embrase-moi: A bold BBQ sauce infused with habanero peppers, reaching a gut-churning 200,000 Scoville units. Related: Trader Joe's sells out of TikTok famous treat (here's when it's back) The sauces are available with Chicken McNuggets and Veggie McPlant Nuggets in 6, 9, or 20 pieces, either à la carte or as part of a meal (excluding Happy Meals). The "Hot Ones" launch is part of a campaign featuring French rapper Naza, who takes on the spicy challenge under the guidance of host Kyan Khojandi. The McDonald's-"Hot Ones" spicy collab is only available in France for the time being, but American fans are salivating at the thought of a stateside release. Smuggling them from France even seems to be a thing. @noahsanchezofficial said, "I tried these! I took them on the plane back to Cali too lol, still have them" and @lakers209 said, "I brought back a 12 sets from my trip to France last year. They are all a lot hotter than you would expect."

For now, spicy-food lovers can indulge in this funky fusion of fast food and fiery flavors, leaving the rest of us to hope it comes ashore here soon.

European film fans have good taste, says Ana de Armas
Ana de Armas thinks European film fans have particularly "good taste". The 37-year-old actress - who was born Cuba, before moving to Spain and then to the US - believes that American and European film fans are distinctly different. Ana - who has become one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood in recent years - explained on 'Hot Ones': "The influence of American cinema in Europe is stronger I would say. "Europeans like European films I would say. I think Europeans also – or Spanish people – have a pretty wide spectrum of, they know about cinema, and they have good taste." Ana is now one of the best-paid actresses in the American movie business. However, she never actually planned to end up in Hollywood at any stage. Speaking about her career arc, Ana explained: "You know, going to Los Angeles or going to Hollywood, was never actually a plan for me. I moved to Spain and then from Spain to Los Angeles, but it was just kind of happening naturally. I just never planned on it." Ana has already worked with the likes of Daniel Craig, and Keanu Reeves during her career, and she appreciates the opportunities that have come her way in recent years. The actress said: "To be on set with them was always kind of like a pinch-me moment every time. And I've worked with really, really amazing people." Meanwhile, Ana previously revealed that she found it easy to relate to Marilyn Monroe in 'Blonde'. The actress portrayed Marilyn in the Andrew Dominik-directed biographical film, and Ana admitted to seeing some similarities between herself and the Hollywood icon. She told Vanity Fair magazine: "There was a lot there that I could relate to. "If you put Marilyn Monroe the movie star aside, she's just an actress trying to navigate life and this system, which is so hard to navigate for anybody. On top of that, you add this point of view of Andrew's, which was to see that through her trauma. "I truly thought it was going to do justice to a more dimensional human being, because I wouldn't want to be remembered just for one thing. I am more than just an actress on the cover of a magazine." Ana believes that modern-day movie stars don't compare to people like Marilyn. The actress explained that social media has removed the sense of "mystery" that used to surround Hollywood stars. She said: "I feel like the new generations don't have that concept, because of social media. There is so much information out there and oversharing. "The concept of a movie star is someone untouchable you only see onscreen. That mystery is gone. For the most part, we've done that to ourselves - nobody's keeping anything from anyone anymore."

Ana de Armas 'hated' singing in Eden
Ana de Armas was "terrified" of singing in 'Eden'. The 37-year-old actress starred in the Ron Howard-directed survival thriller film alongside Vanessa Kirby, Sydney Sweeney and Jude Law, and Ana has now revealed that she did everything she could to avoid having to sing in the movie. During an appearance on 'Hot Ones', the actress explained: "I hated it. "I remember when I talked to Ron. And I was like 'Ron, I really think I should lip sync. This is not for me.' And he just didn't want to hear it. "He was like 'no, you're singing. You're singing. If you do it bad, it's good for the character.' And I'm like 'yeah but people don't know that.'" Ana admitted that she would've rather done "100 stunts than sing" in the film. The actress recalled feeling "very exposed and vulnerable" at the time. Ana explained: "I just couldn't convince him to let me lip sync so I had to learn the song. "It was horrible. I was terrified. I would rather do 100 stunts than sing that song. It was terrifying because it's also in front of all the actors. I just felt very exposed and vulnerable and it's not one of my talents, for sure." Ana previously portrayed Marilyn Monroe in 'Blonde', the Andrew Dominik-directed biographical drama film. And the actress admitted that she finds it easy to relate to the Hollywood icon. She told Vanity Fair magazine: "There was a lot there that I could relate to. "If you put Marilyn Monroe the movie star aside, she's just an actress trying to navigate life and this system, which is so hard to navigate for anybody.
