The first trailer for the second season of With Love, Meghan returns the Duchess of Sussex to the kitchen and garden for another round of aspirational cozy cooking along with a bevy of friends (famous friends, naturally).

This time, however, the trailer portrays Meghan a bit differently than in the trailer for the first season — where Markle was shown expertly whipping up stunning creations while giving advice (“that’s what you want, you want that shape and texture…”) while enamored celebrities looked on (“This is probably one of the most glamorous moments of my life,” enthused Mindy Kaling).

Season two’s trailer (below) shows Meghan learning from experts and warmly appreciating the efforts of others. “Let’s get creative and learn something new,” she says, and then later: “I’m so glad you came and showed me how to do this.” In another beat, when mixing ingredients,...

Julia Fox says she had to “convince” studios to gamble on her for “Uncut Gems.”

The actress, who made her breakout performance in Josh and Benny Safdie’s 2019 hit, said during Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast (in the video below) that there was studio pressure to have Scarlett Johansson in the role instead.

The Safdie brothers, who became friends with Fox in the early 2010s, wrote the role for her. However, that didn’t mean that she automatically had the part.

“People knew who I was. I was like a hood celebrity, and these directors heard about me and wanted to meet me,” Fox said. “They were writing a part for this young girl who has kind of a sugar daddy situation. And...

Appearing onstage Thursday at SXSW, Michelle Obama never mentioned Donald Trump by name, but the former First Lady certainly tried to capture the tone of our times.

“We know people are going through some tough times, and I don’t think Craig and I are feeling any different than anyone out there,” Obama told the Austin audience of about 2,500 in a live recording of a new podcast series with her brother, Imo with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson.

President Barack Obama and President Bill Clinton have been largely Awol since a retaliation-fueled Trump was sworn in January 20, so the anticipation around Obama and National Association of Basketball Coaches executive director Robinson’s podcast was high after it was unveiled this week.

The first significant public appearance by Michelle Obama, who missed both Jimmy Carter’s funeral and Trump’s inauguration, saw the ex-First Lady leaning deftly into her target market today.

Michelle Obama will co-host the video podcast Imo, with her brother and basketball executive Craig Robinson. Higher Ground, a production company founded by the Obamas, announced the podcast Monday. Imo, which stands for “in my opinion,” will feature special guests including Issa Rae, Keke Palmer, Seth Rogen, and Tracee Ellis Ross, inviting them to tackle audience questions and hold candid conversations around relationships, religion, parenting, family, and everyday life.

“With everything going on in the world, we’re all looking for answers and people to turn to,” Obama said in a statement.

Ahead of former First Lady Michelle Obama and her brother Craig Robinson’s appearance at SXSW, the duo Monday announced a new podcast series, Imo with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson, which will launch Wednesday with two episodes. The two will take the stage in Austin on Thursday where they’ll be recording another episode of Imo.

Higher Ground, the media company that Obama founded with President Barack Obama, is producing the series.

On Imo, the former First Lady and her older brother will give their opinions and candid perspectives to the everyday questions shaping our lives, relationships and the world around us. The first two episodes will feature an intro episode and one with Issa Rae.

Each week, the duo will be joined by a special guest to tackle audience questions with practical advice and relatable anecdotes. Rae will be talking about the challenges of mismatched expectations in adult friendships.

Higher Ground is launching a new podcast series with Michelle Obama and her brother, Craig Robinson.

The series, Imo with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson, will see the former first lady and her sibling, who is the executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, and discuss thought-provoking questions about daily life with experts and well-known guests, including Issa Rae, Keke Palmer and Dr. Orna Guralnik.

iHeartMedia, the Am and FM giant powered by 870 radio stations and growing digital ambitions, saw its podcast revenue rise to $139.6 million in the fourth quarter, up about 6 percent year-over-year. The company cited increased demand from advertisers, even as it saw rising operating expenses due to content costs and podcast profit sharing costs.
