Cosmo Launches Blind Date Video Series With Willa Bennett, Featuring Reneé Rapp and Serena Page
Let's be honest: First dates can be excruciating. Even more intimidating, though? The concept of a 'blind date,' which can dredge up images of 2-hour awkward silences over cocktails and apps purely because a friend of a friend knows you and your date both enjoy 2000s Ska music. Disaster! But we here at Cosmopolitan have decided to reclaim the blind date in the most literal sense: By sending our editor-in-chief Willa Bennett on a series of literally-blindfolded dinner dates—with everyone you *wish* you were going on dates with—in the appropriately-titled show, Blind Date. In this new series, a blindfolded Willa must guess the identity of her famous dates by asking them a series of questions. And she's got plenty of famous faces to consider. We've set her up with stars like Reneé Rapp, Serena Page, Dylan Efron, and Benito Skinner, for starters. On top of flirting and feasting, Willa and her guests will also dive into the Cosmopolitan archives to revisit some of the best first date advice from times of yore. (Trust, there are some real vintage gems.) Blind Date premieres on Monday, June 2, but if you simply can't wait and are desperate for a preview, then look no further than the teaser video above.

Joe Jonas admits moving on in the world of dating after Sophie Turner divorce was 'scary and intimidating'
Joe Jonas gets candid about the most 'intimidating' part of his 2024 divorce from Sophie Turner, who were together for seven years and married for four. The 35-year-old singer gave an insight into his love life during a TalkShopLive stream on Wednesday. At one point, Joe spoke about the track Only Love from his upcoming album Music For People Who Believe In Love: 'I was seeing somebody at the time and I was kind of having this idea of dating again. It was really scary and intimidating. Love takes different shapes and forms and I was rediscovering what that was.' Joe recalled that someone he was dating had told him: 'Well, it's only love.' He added: 'I was like, "Well, when you put it that way…" So we wrote a song about it. Like, it was not a big deal, but it was a big deal to me, and a big deal to them, too. 'But it's OK to take a leap of faith and just try again and put yourself out there.' Joe and Sophie had two children together: Willa and Delphine. During the divorce process, the two stars embarked on a custody battle over their daughters and disagreed over where the girls would reside full-time. After the divorce, Joe channeled his emotions into creating his upcoming studio album and began creating music again while 'going through a lot of life changes', as he told Billboard. Joe said: 'Finding out who I was as a person and father and friend, and living under the microscope of what the music industry can be. And I think, at such a crazy time in my life, I looked to music as an outlet.' Joe said: 'It was scary at times, and also freeing. I'm not trying to come for anyone on this album. I'm not trying to put stuff on blast. 'I have a beautiful life that I'm grateful for. I've got two beautiful kids. I'm a happy person, and the music needed to resemble that - but also, the journey to get here.' Ahead of the album's release, Joe's already dropped three singles: Heart By Heart, Work It Out, and What This Could Be. Joe's preparing to reunite with his siblings Kevin and Nick for their Living The Dream Tour, which kicks off in summer to celebrate their Jonas Brothers' 20th anniversary. In a statement, the band said: 'We're beyond excited to hit the road and celebrate 20 years of music. 'Our fans have been with us through every chapter, and this tour is our way of honoring them, the memories we've made, and the ones we'll create together. We can't wait to make this our biggest, most unforgettable tour yet.' The tour's set to start on August 10 in New Jersey at MetLife Stadium, and would conclude on November 14 following stops in cities throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Generate Key Takeaways On Wednesday, 21 students were suspended from the University of Washington for taking over a campus building during a protest this week. The students, along with non-student protesters, are banned from all UW campuses. There is no timeline on when they'll be allowed to return. 'I think that I probably agree with their message, but I think using violence and tactics is not really the best way to do it. I think they could've gotten a lot more done if they just occupied the building instead of starting fires,' said Odessa, a UW student. Odessa and her classmate, Willa, say they support the right to protest, but without the destruction. 'Violence is not ideal, but also there have been a lot of peaceful protests so I understand why, like, that emotion kind of escalated. But definitely not an ideal outcome for anyone,' Willa said. Dumpster fires, shattered windows, and smashed equipment from Monday night's protest totaled $1 million in damages. The federal Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism is now reviewing federal grants and contracts with the university. The Task Force says it expects changes to prevent this from happening again, adding: 'The university must do more to deter future violence and guarantee that Jewish students have a safe and productive learning environment.' The University of Washington says it's made changes to improve campus climate for Jewish students by:

What Happens Later OTT release: Watch Meg Ryan returning in a rom-com on Netflix
The queen of romantic comedies is back, and she has brought emotional turbulence with her—literally. What Happens Later, Meg Ryan's highly anticipated comeback film, has officially landed on Netflix, and if you are into exes, existential crises, and airport chaos wrapped in a snowstorm, your weekend watchlist just got sorted. What Happens Later OTT release After an eight-year break from acting, Meg Ryan steps back into the spotlight not just as the lead but also as the director of this no-filter rom-com. This is her second time directing a feature film, her first being Ithaca in 2015. Clearly, she is not just acting in the movie—she is steering the emotional flight. Story of What Happens Later Co-starring alongside Ryan is David Duchovny (yes, The X-Files guy), and the two play former lovers Willa and Bill. The set-up? They get snowed in at a regional airport overnight. The vibe? A heavy dose of romantic tension, unresolved feelings, and awkward jokes between two people who have not seen each other in years. Honestly, it is giving delusional hope but in a kind of adorable, stuck-in-an-airport way. Willa is all about that magical, head-in-the-clouds energy, while Bill is a doomsday-in-waiting kind of guy. The duo spends the night unpacking their old relationship, making snarky remarks, and maybe—just maybe—wondering if fate has decided to delay their emotional baggage too. What Happens Later theatre release Originally released in theatres on 3 November 2023 by Bleecker Street, the film now finds a second life on Netflix, where it is streaming uncut and uncensored. That means all the adult language and spicy awkwardness is intact, so maybe keep the volume down if your nan is nearby. Meg Ryan fans are already calling this her comeback era, and honestly, it feels like the Y2K rom-com soul has been resurrected from the ashes of Gen Z's chaotic dating culture. Is it groundbreaking? No. Is it charming, nostalgic, and weirdly comforting? Absolutely. So skip the small talk, grab your snacks, and dive into this airport-flavoured romance now streaming on Netflix. Because if love is delayed but not cancelled, you definitely want to watch what happens… later.
