Reneé Rapp reveals Towa Bird 'topped her' before they started dating
Reneé Rapp is getting candid about her relationship with fellow musician Towa Bird, and her description of how the two lovebirds met is hilarious. On the Tuesday, May 27 episode of Good Hang with Amy Poehler, the Mean Girls star opened up about why she thought it was 'so hot' that her singer-songwriter girlfriend didn't seem to like her when they met for the first time. Bird rose to fame on TikTok, so Rapp knew who she was and thought she was 'sexy' long before they ever met in person. "I just always thought she was so f*cking cool," the 'Too Well' singer told host Amy Poehler. Rapp asked a close friend to introduce her to the British singer-songwriter even though Bird wasn't ready to meet someone. "I said, 'I couldn't give a f*ck less. I'm not either, but I'm gonna meet her. We need to at least be friends,' Rapp explained. But when the two finally met, Bird was 'so f*cking mean' to her. Luckily, Rapp was into it. 'She's scary," the talented 25-year-old pop star said. "Well, she's like from the U.K., so, like, her humor is super different. She's also just like, such a bitch.' we love you renee and towa we say in unison #reneerapp #AMAs #AMA2025 #lesbiansoftiktok #couplegoals #wlw #lesbian #towabird #podcast #amypoehler Rapp told Bird that she had heard 'so much' about her, but instead of being flattered, the 'Drain Me!' singer responded by asking, 'Why are you talking about me so much then?' The second time they met, the two lesbians started talking about what cars they drove, and Rapp said that she 'wouldn't have pegged' Bird for someone who owned 'that kind of car.' Bird cheekily responded, 'Oh, you don't want to peg me?' Poehler jumped in to say, 'She topped a top,' which Rapp immediately agreed with. 'She literally topped a top. She out flirted me,' she said. Despite their relationship starting with Bird 'really negging' Rapp, according to Poehler, the 26-year-old guitar player was the first one to say 'I love you.' While on the beach "high out of our minds,' Bird said the three magical words, but instead of saying them back, Rapp 'didn't say a word' and then asked her girlfriend to repeat herself. "And she was like, 'Are you f---ing kidding me right now?'" she remembered Bird saying before Rapp said she felt the same. See on Instagram Elsewhere in the interview, Poehler helped Rapp come up with her drag king name and the results will have you giggling. When asked what her drag king name would be, Rapp was stumped, but the Parks and Rec alum came in clutch. 'Instead of Timothée Chalamet, you could be called Timothée Chala-Gay.' 'That's it,' Rapp the full episode below. - YouTube

Amy Poehler Gives ‘Parks and Rec' Fans the Greatest Gift: The ‘Philly Justice' Trailer with Adam Scott, Rashida Jones, and Kathryn Hahn
It's not quite 'Threat Level Midnight,' but it's close — and real. Amy Poehler has revealed the faux spoof TV show trailer for 'Philly Justice,' a fake series she and 'Parks and Recreation' co-stars Adam Scott, Rashida Jones, Paul Rudd, Nick Offerman, and Kathryn Hahn made for fun while filming the hit NBC sitcom. The existence of the project has been teased throughout Poehler's podcast 'Good Hang' and now, finally, its trailer is out. The tagline reads: 'Philadelphia has never been more in need of justice.' More from IndieWire Are the Young Men OK? On Some of the Season's Best Shows, Not at All See the Tricks 'Agatha All Along' Used to Walk the Witches' Road 'Parks and Rec' creator Mike Schur, producer Morgan Sackett, and stars Scott and Jones joined Poehler for world premiere of the 'Philly Justice' trailer on 'Good Hang.' 'This one is for the fans. We heard you loud and clear,' Poehler said, adding that 'Philly Justice' was conceived after looking at a cast photo on the set of 'Parks and Rec' during Season 4. That inside joke spurred a parallel to a very real David E. Kelley procedural pilot that was shot in 2005 but never aired. Dylan McDermott was part of that series; Schur and the 'Parks and Rec' writers room then wrote a 20 page script for a fictional spin on 'Philly Justice' purely for the 'Parks and Rec' cast to have. However, McDermott was asked to reprise his role for the trailer, which was never going to be released, until now. Check out the 'Philly Justice' trailer below and deduce the plot yourself. All we can say is that Poehler previously said during podcast 'Good Hang' that it was a 'shitty show' with Hahn playing a lawyer who may or may not be in a relationship with Jones' character. 'Parks and Rec' aired from 2009 to 2015 for seven seasons. The series also starred Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Aziz Ansari, Rob Lowe, Jim O'Heir, and Retta. Schur said in 2019 that if there were to be any sequel series, the whole cast would have to be on board. 'I would say we would do it if literally every person says yes. If one person says no, we shouldn't do it,' he said.

Michelle Obama Jokes Barack Obama Is 'Afraid' of This 1 Thing in Very Relatable Marriage Moment
Michelle Obama is opening up about one very relatable thing that she and former president Barack Obama argue about daily — what temperature to set their thermostat During an appearance on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast on Tuesday, May 13, the former first lady, 61, opened up about her nighttime routine "He's afraid of the thermostat," she joked. 'I said, 'I don't care what you do, do not touch anything in this room after I go to sleep' "Michelle Obama jokes that she and Barack Obama deal with one tiny issue that many married couples argue about daily — how they use their thermostat. During an appearance on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast on Tuesday, May 13, the former first lady, 61, opened up about her nighttime routine, which often involves getting her bedroom to the perfect temperature for a good night's sleep. "The change in temperature is wild for any woman anytime, especially in this battle with a partner, right?" Michelle told Poehler, 53, during their lighthearted conversation. "Because [Barack is] always cold." "And I'm like, 'Do not touch.' And sometimes I wake up hot, and I'll wake him, [and say], 'Did you touch the thermostat? You touched the thermostat, didn't you?' " she jokingly recalled. "He's like, 'I didn't, I swear to God!' " According to Michelle, the former president now knows to leave the temperature of the room alone. "He's afraid of the thermostat," she joked. 'I said, 'I don't care what you do, do not touch anything in this room after I go to sleep.' " Elsewhere in their conversation, the former first lady spoke about how her health has changed as she entered her 60s, and revealed that she developed a "frozen shoulder" — a condition known as adhesive capsulitis. It involves stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, per the Mayo Clinic, which often develops in women over 40 years old and can last for years. "I had frozen shoulder a couple years ago," Michelle told the comedian. "And guess what? Nobody knows what causes it, and there's nothing you can do about it," Poehler replied with a joking smile. "Like every ailment for women in their 50s." "They're like, 'Yeah. I guess it just hurts,' " the Parks and Rec actress continued. "And it's like, how long is it gonna hurt? And they're like, 'I guess forever maybe?' " Michelle has been candid in recent months about how she's been slowly changing her physical and mental health as she ages into her 60s — even sharing that she has begun to help navigate her next phase following her public life in the White House with her husband, 63. The former first lady revealed in an appearance on Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast last month that she was in a phase of "transitioning."

'I'm 60 years old, I finished a really hard thing in life with my family intact. I'm an empty nester. You know my girls are in — they've been launched. And now for the first time, as I've said before, every choice I'm making is completely mine,' she shared. 'I now don't have the excuse of, 'Well, my kids need this,' or 'my husband needs that,' or 'the country needs that.' So, how do I think about this next phase, and let me get some help,' she added. Michelle — who has been a longtime advocate of therapy and has done it for years — likened it on the podcast to getting a 'tune-up,' and she noted that she felt that this was the perfect time in her life to do so, knowing all the things she already did. "Let me unwind some old habits. Let me sort through some old guilt that I've been carrying around. Let me talk about how my relationship with my mother has affected how I think about things," she shared. Read the original article on People

Photos of the month: Signaling spring
Apr. 26—BEMIDJI — Signs of spring are more than just melting snow and budding trees, as plenty of annual events marked the end of a long winter in the Bemidji area. Parks and Rec hosted its Bunny Bash ahead of the Easter holiday, more than 4,000 attendees flocked to the Sanford Center for the GigaZone Gaming Championship and TechXpo, and children took part in fun activities during the Bemidji Early Childhood Collaborative's Tiny Tots Health and Wellness Fair. Bemidjians also took advantage of the warmer weather by participating in outdoor events. Spring sports teams kicked off their outdoor seasons as the fields thawed, and more than 1,000 activists gathered near downtown Bemidji for a Hands Off! demonstration. Speaking of downtown, the area saw plenty of changes this month as the iconic Morell's Chippewa Trading Post statue was removed and a sinkhole led to the discovery of an old building's foundation underneath the parking lot at the intersection of Minnesota Avenue and Fourth Street NW. Pioneer photographers Annalise Braught, Madelyn Haasken and TJ Rhodes captured these memorable moments along the way.
