Matthew Koma Says He Encounters Around 12 'Penises a Day' at the Gym — and Not Ones 'You Want to See'
The gym has been an interesting place for Matthew Koma as of late. In a pair of videos shared to his Instagram Stories on May 12, the musician opened up about encountering a large amount of male genitalia at a gym he recently started going to — and why it's "weird" for him. "I go to LA Fitness every day. I used to go to Equinox, and everybody there just wants to f------ talk and socialize and network, so I switched to LA Fitness, and it's gross," exclaimed Koma, 37, while filming himself in the car. "It's disgusting," continued the Winnetka Bowling League member. "It's dirty, the clientele is not great, and every day I walk into the locker room after the workout to wash hands, and I must see 12, 11 cocks, penises a day, every morning." In the moment of filming the video, the father, who's raising four kids with wife Hilary Duff, explained he began "realizing that's kind of how I start my day — I drop my kids at school. I go, I get a little workout in." is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! Koma further detailed his locker room experiences. "These aren't penises you wanna see, and I'm starting to just think, like, is that not a great way to start every single day of my life?" "And just to clarify," he added, "I don't think I'd have a problem seeing penises every morning. It's these particular pee-holes, that make me think it's just probably not great for mental health and sanity. It's f------ weird." The "Clarity" songwriter later posted a screenshot of an email from Equinox urging him to rejoin the luxury gym. Koma is quite active on Instagram, and in recent months he's clapped back at critics of his wife's appearance and spoken out against Kanye West's recent antisemitic slur-ridden rants. Earlier this week, Koma took to Instagram with a lengthy tribute post to Duff, 37, in honor of Mother's Day. "I love being parents with you, so much," he wrote. "Mostly because it gives me the front row seat to see how much our kids love you and there's nothing sweeter." Read the original article on People

Bitter taste of freedom: The social barricades blocking progress
'The core of our politics has inadequately addressed the trust problem in the wake of unscrupulous politicians" - expert. With the unemployment rate standing at 31.9% and about 55.5% people living below the national upper poverty line, South Africa, which yesterday celebrated 31 years of democracy, may have made huge strides on the political front, but much more needs to be done to bridge the socioeconomic class divide, according to experts. In marking Freedom Day over the weekend, Acting President Gwede Mantashe conceded that South Africa was one of the world's most unequal societies, with many people losing hope. 'Poverty, unemployment and inequality are deep wounds that prevent SA from reaching its full potential. It is said that the richest 10% of South Africans own approximately 85% of the country's financial assets. Millions of people are unemployed or earn wages that cannot sustain them or their families,' said Mantashe. While there were pockets of achievements, political economist Sam Koma said the majority of SA citizens are 'yet to enjoy the fruits of economic justice in relation to full economic participation, full employment, living wage, wealth accumulation and land ownership'. But South Africa, said Koma, was 'a different country today than it was in 1994'. 'Major strides have been recorded in many respects: exercising political and labour rights; media and academic freedom. We have a functional judiciary, progressive legislation in place – although implementation of these laws is fraught with challenges. 'South Africa has also assumed a moral authority in global affairs involving geopolitics, conflict resolution, global governance institutions and sport.' Reasons for optimism Despite ongoing tensions in the government of national unity, Koma said if the governing multiparty coalition fully implemented its statement of intent, involving the imperative to build inclusive economy and poverty eradication through the formulation and implementation of pragmatic economic policy, 'then the prospects of realising the ideals embedded in our constitution, are real'. Political analyst Dale McKinley said: 'Despite our problems and challenges, we have a democracy with all the freedoms that we fought for intact – even if many of them are difficult to fully attain. 'We have not fallen apart, though we have cracks and fissures. Given what is going on in the world and on the African continent over years, we need to recognise, as South Africans, that we are still standing. We still have our constitutional organs in place, which is our biggest achievement. We also have to deal with a troubled society and internal conflicts,' McKinley said. Policy expert Nkosiphendule Nyembezi said what eroded democracy was the election of the 'wrong public representatives with the wrong values and tendencies to abuse state resources for patronage'. 'This involves buying more extensive political influence through pet projects or naked voter extortion. We can widely sense the wide-ranging political trust problem across the political spectrum. 'The core of our politics has inadequately addressed the trust problem in the wake of unscrupulous politicians continuing to negatively influence political decisions that directly affect our lives. This includes the current negotiations on government's fiscal framework,' said Nyembezi. He cited the April 2024 Ipsos survey which revealed that in South Africa 'only 9% trusted political leaders'.

Irina Shayk opens Blumarine show in Milan injecting buzz into creative director David Koma's debut
MILAN (AP) — Top model Irina Shayk injected buzz into Georgian designer David Koma's debut as Blumarine's creative director, opening the Fall-Winter 2025-26 preview show during Milan Fashion Week on Thursday in a mood-setting, sharply executed, shearling-trimmed coat. For her second turn, Shayk wore a slinky sheer dress with a deep slit under a matching Navy blue shearling fur. In two looks, she encompassed both the modern, structural tailoring that Kona is best known for, and Blumarine's romantic feminism. Kona called the tension between the two fashion poles 'dark romanticism.' See for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories.

In that vein, the collection's main motif, the thistle, represents the duality of 'protective, but fragile; delicate, but aggressive,'' Koma said. It is seen as a crystal applique on jeans, and as silver baubles that rustle on garments. The structured garments contrasted with romantic looks in organza, chiffon and Georgette, set off by modern corsets, silver hardware and panties with the Blumarine logo written in crystals. Koma said his dark romanticism comes 'with a beautiful, happy ending,'' Koma said. 'Because with Blumarine, the femininity, the beauty, the happiness, it's in the core of the brand.''
