How Keke Palmer spends her 5 to 9 — from morning Pilates to drinking whiskey

Keke Palmer is the internet's darling. She's an Emmy-winning actor, headline-making podcaster, and TV host. Fun, charismatic, and genuine, Palmer can create a catch-phrase in a split-second moment of genius. Remember, "Sorry to this man"? So, ahead of our call, I was intrigued to find out what Palmer was like one-on-one, without cameras flashing or being on a big movie set. What I discovered is that she is everything you'd want a celebrity to be: simultaneously relatable (she's also obsessed with Pilates) and somehow otherworldly (she's motivated to work until 2 a.m.). In the latest installment of Business Insider's "5-9" series, Palmer, 31, shares a glimpse into her busy life as a businesswoman and mother, as part of her collaboration with American Express' Business Platinum Card. What time do you get up, and what's your morning routine? I put my clothes out the night before and get up between 6 a.m. and 6.45 a.m. If my workday starts after 8 a.m., I'll use that hour from 7 a.m. to work out: Pilates is my favorite. When I get back, I'll have a coffee. I'm drinking my water, and I've got my Stanley. Then I'll start work. Do you do reformer or mat Pilates? I love them both for different reasons. If I do mat Pilates, it's going to be heated, and if I do reformer Pilates, it's not. If my hair is done, I'm doing reformer, for sure. I don't want to get sweaty on the mat. The Pilates that I do is not as yoga-leaning, it's athletic — not cardio, but very intricate and muscle-building. It's the moment of my day that I get to myself, even if I'm in a class with other people. It's just me, feeling it, existing in the world, and doing something for myself. It's really meditative. When you're focusing so hard on what you're doing, you can't think about anything else. Exactly, girl. What do you have for breakfast? I try to eat something that will really nourish me, especially as I've got older and work so much. I love what I do, and I'm trying to extend my ability to keep doing it. Anything that's a whole food. I love eggs. Sometimes, I have egg whites with potatoes. This morning, I had sweet potato pancakes with a side of yogurt. It's not that I don't care about taste, I do, but I want to make sure that it's stuff that's going to be prolonging me for the rest of the day. Especially with all the traveling, too. How do you keep yourself healthy while traveling a lot? I definitely need a premium travel experience. I use my American Express Business Platinum Card because I can relax in the lounge, get something to eat, and do a little work if I need to. I travel for work mostly, sometimes getting right off the plane and straight into business, so the peace and the comfort that I can obtain from that kind of experience is helpful when I go in and pitch. What are your wellness essentials? I have an array of different things that really feed into my ability to stay grounded and at ease. For me, therapy is seasonal. I think that therapy is good if you're not doing it all the time. I love journaling, prayer, and any type of fitness, such as Pilates, yoga, and hiking. All of that stuff brings me immense joy. I love a good hike by myself, and I like doing things solo, because I'm always around so many people when I'm working. I love bingeing comfort TV. It doesn't even have to be the most interesting thing. Spending time with family is huge for me, especially my little boy. I love to be with him. It's like time stops. What time do you get home from work? When I'm on set, I can go as late as 2 a.m., but if I get out at a normal time, then I'm off around 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Do you generally not eat dinner at home? I usually eat before I get home. And then when I'm back, I try to give my stomach a rest to digest because eating so late can mess me up for the next morning and disturb my sleep. Are you consciously intermittent fasting? I don't think of it that way. I think about it in terms of my gut. I've had a lot of health issues with PCOS, my nervous system, and my stomach, which has always been very sensitive. So, over these past few years, it's been really important for me to understand how to help my stomach and what foods are ticking it off, because when your gut brain is good, the rest of your brain is good. Once you find out what works for you, it makes a real difference. A lot of times, they're telling you the things that are good for you, but they're not necessarily good for you. Or they're telling you the things that are bad for you, but they're not necessarily bad for you. People often say, "No rice, no potatoes," but my body prefers those, and I'm not saying they've got to be deep-fried. I pair that with something fibrous, protein, or beans. That's good for me. Do you have a go-to drink? Yes, whiskey. With ice? No, I don't want it watered down! Good point. Do you have a skincare routine? It's kind of simple, but there are certain ingredients I like to use. Niacinamide, over-the-counter retinol — not prescribed because I don't want to go too harsh. I love La Roche Posay Mela B3 for dark spots, and also La Roche Posay's kids' and adults' SPF because it doesn't burn my eyes. I like oil-based cleansers, especially if I'm doing a lot of performing. Sometimes the makeup's coming on and off, and I don't want a cleanser that's going to be too stripping. I do switch up products because I honestly think that you have to learn your skin and be able to touch, feel, and look at it, and then define what you're going to do based on that. What's your nighttime routine? I love watching TV and oiling my hair while in the bath, using face wash and moisturizer, setting out my clothes, and turning on my bed warmer. It's a warming blanket from Amazon. I put it underneath my sheet, and it's perfect. I lie in bed. I might look at my phone or journal, drop a couple of magnesium drops in my water, maybe a little bit of turmeric, and sip on that. I have a bean bag eye mask. Sometimes, I microwave it. I put it on my eyes, and I'm out. I'll always go to sleep to some sitcom like "Girlfriends" or "Gilmore Girls" — any type of comfort show. Read the original article on Business Insider

The Marvellous Miniatures Workshop (w/t) hosted by Sara Cox has been commissioned for BBC One and iPlayer

BBC Daytime has commissioned eight episodes of its new series, The Marvellous Miniatures Workshop (w/t) made by MGM Alternative and presented by TV presenter, author, podcaster and BBC Radio 2 presenter Sara Cox. Professional model makers will bring places, people and iconic moments in time back to life via miniature models. These special, one-off models, will not only celebrate cherished and emotional family stories, but also tap into our collective cultural heritage around events, design and fashions, or common themes. Whether it is a life event, a snap-shot of mid-century design or a memory tied to trends of the past, these models will serve as tiny yet powerful windows into the way things were. To ensure the models are as authentic as possible, the miniaturists must embark on an investigative journey to uncover the personal stories behind each request, as well as dig into historical and cultural references to craft them as true and realistic as possible. MGM Alternative will use the latest technology and microscopic cameras to get up close and personal, capturing the minute details and craft that goes into creating these special models. Audiences will be taken on an emotional journey from start to finish, from meeting the people who want to capture their special moment, their background on why it's so important to them, to the research that goes into getting every detail correct. There will be challenges along the way, from identifying accurate furnishing colours and materials from over half a century ago, to recreating interiors and buildings that have long since been derelict. At the end of each episode is the big reveal; Have our Miniaturists faithfully re-created the place of so many memories for our contributors? And how will they react when they see their childhood memories brought back to life? Rachel Platt Commissioning Editor for BBC Daytime comments, 'Many of us will remember our first set of building blocks, train set, or dolls house, so what a thrill to have one of those miniature worlds created around your own special memory. Combining the nation's love of model-making with stories that are at once deeply personal and wonderfully relatable, each episode of this genuinely delightful series will be full of emotion, nostalgia - and exceptional skill.' Sara Cox comments; 'We all have life events that hold a special place in our heart, so I'm absolutely thrilled we are going to be recreating cherished memories and moments in time using the astonishing skills of our miniaturists. This show taps into our fascination with the tiny, from fantasy film to classic literature and as a naturally very nosey person, I personally can't wait to find out the beautiful backstory that inspires each creation. Dom Bird SVP, MGM Alternative UK comments, 'MGM is delighted to be growing our slate of BBC programmes in 2025, with this original new series combining deeply personal stories and incredible craftsmanship with joyous surprises and reveals. These perfect replicas will bring back to life those locations that changed and shaped people's lives, while the models will be small, the heart and joy in this series promises to be huge.' The Marvellous Miniatures Workshop (w/t) has been commissioned for BBC One and iPlayer by Head of BBC Daytime and Early Peak Commissioning, Rob Unsworth. The Commissioning Editor for BBC Daytime is Rachel Platt. The programme is made by MGM Alternative UK, the Series Producer is Nicki Stoker. HD3

Telltale signs Tammy Hembrow's husband Matt Zukowski didn't attend her son's birthday party - amid rumours their marriage is on the rocks

Matthew Zukowski has lashed out at fans who pressed him about why he didn't appear to attend his stepson Wolf's recent 10th birthday celebrations. The former Love Island star, 29, sparked controversy over the weekend when he seemed to be missing from photos wife Tammy Hembrow posted of the event. However, when followers queried why Matt was posting photos with his 'sister's dog' in Melbourne rather than attending the milestone occasion, the podcaster hit back and told critics to 'focus on your own life'. The debacle kicked off on Instagram when one fan left a question beneath one of Matt's recent posts of him cuddling a puppy named Dexter in Melbourne, who fans claim belong to his sister Emma. 'Why aren't you in Queensland for your stepson Wolf's 10th birthday? No hate just genuinely curious,' the person wrote. 'These photos were taken four weeks ago,' Matt hit back. But the follower didn't let up, as they responded: 'But you weren't in Tammy's snaps or anything for Wolf's birthday today?' Side-stepping the question, the former reality TV star then lashed out with: 'Who said I wasn't [follower name]? Focus on your own life.' Stunned by the comment, the person then said: 'Wow! And you wonder why you get hate on the internet. Way to be rude when I was being polite!' Matt has since deleted the comments from his post. The fan went on to share their comments to a Reddit thread which slammed Matt and made further claims he did not attend the birthday party. They pointed to the fact Matt made no public well wishes to Wolf online, and appeared to be taking photos in Melbourne at the time Tammy was celebrating her son's birthday on the Gold Coast. Although Matt did not publicly comment any birthday wishes to his stepson he may have done something for him in private, and he has also claimed the images he took were from 'four weeks' before he posted them. Nevertheless, critics took to Reddit to question Matt's apparent absence from Tammy's posts about the event. 'He'll dedicate a post to his sisters dog, but not his wife's son. Sorry, I can't call him a stepdad,' one fan ranted, referring to Matt's photo of him posing with a pooch. 'Such a bizarre marriage. Who spends this much time apart after only a few months?' a second person asked. Meanwhile, Tammy, 31, shared a clip of her preparing for her son's celebration—and she was not seen wearing her wedding ring. Daily Mail Australia has reached out to both Tammy and Matt for comment. It comes after Matt fuelled speculation his whirlwind romance with Tammy may be over, after posting footage of himself going to the movies solo last Tuesday. He took to Instagram to share a video from inside the cinema, revealing he was watching Death of a Unicorn alone. The move came just days after fans noticed he was also absent from Tammy's 31st birthday celebrations. Sources close to the couple have since confirmed to Daily Mail Australia the pair have quietly split, with Matt relocating back to Melbourne. 'Matt and Tammy are on a break. They're not saying it's over for good, but for now they're taking time apart,' the insider revealed. 'They're both emotional people, and they've decided to put their marriage on pause for now.' The reality star notably avoided addressing his relationship status with Tammy, who was seen living her best life during her birthday festivities on the Gold Coast. The fitness mogul shared several glamorous snaps from her big day, including photos of her decadent cake, extravagant floral arrangements and gifts—but her husband was nowhere to be seen. Tammy and Matt began dating in mid-2023, after Matt slid into her DMs, and were engaged just three months later. They tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at Chateau Du Soleil in Byron Bay in November.
