This marks a dramatic expansion from digital creator to live entertainment entrepreneur and is being watched closely by business analysts for its potential as a new global brand extension.

A BIOGRAPHY OF A MOUNTAIN: The Making and Meaning of Mt. Rushmore, by Matthew Davis Mt. Rushmore, written in light of recent political controversies, and a timely retrospective for the monument's 100th anniversary in 2025. Davis has penned an impressive work of narrative nonfiction, combining history with reportage, bringing this complicated and nuanced story of the famous, and infamous, mountain to life.From the lands origins as sacred tribal ground; to the expansion of the American West; to the complicated and larger-than-life personality of Gutzon Borglum, the artist who carved the presidential faces into the mountain; and, up to the politicized present-day conflicts over the site and its future, Matthew Davis paints a fascinating picture of perhaps the most debated monument in our nation. Gerard Baker, the first Native American superintendent of Mt. Rushmore shared this sentiment about the mountain with the author: "Well, most people want to come to a national park and leave with that warm fuzzy feeling with an ice cream cone. Rushmore can't do that if you do it the right way. If you do it the right way people are going to be leaving pissed." That perhaps sums up the complicated history of Rushmore better than any other, especially with talk of additional sculpture(s) added to the side of the mountain?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Happy Veteran's Day! George S. Patton was a war-winning, poetry-writing, reincarnation-believing chaos machine. The Allies needed him. The Nazis feared him. His bosses… tolerated him. From heroic battlefield leadership to slapping hospitalized soldiers and creating international incidents with his mouth, Patton lived louder than almost anyone in uniform. This is the story of Old Blood-and-Guts: genius, troublemaker, and one of the toughest sons of bitches in U.S. military history.Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

EPISODE 620 - Jill MacLean - Canadian Author of a Poetry Collection, Non-fiction Historical biography, Young Reader and Young Adult NovelsJill MacLean is the Canadian author of a poetry collection, a non-fiction historical biography, three novels for young readers, two young adult novels, and The Arrows of Mercy, historical fiction for adults set in medieval England, released in 2023. The Arrows of Fealty, a stand alone sequel to The Arrows of Mercy, will release in September 2024.Jill MacLean's somewhat truncated biography:Although I was born in England in Berkshire (the county where my medieval novel, The Arrows of Mercy, is set), I left there many years ago, and happily took out Canadian citizenship in 1970.I began writing poetry in the nineties, along with completing a Masters degree in theology, and my poetry collection was published in Manitoba in 2003. My young grandson then asked me to write him a book – and changed the direction of my life. Three middle-grade novels and two Young Adult novels followed in fairly quick succession (you can check them out under Publications).All five novels were contemporary, four were set in Newfoundland (where my family lived for seventeen years), and four overtly dealt with bullying.Was I in danger of falling into a literary rut?If so, what to write next?The hiatus was frightening; but gradually there surfaced my abiding fascination with the medieval period, and even more gradually characters began to emerge, chief among them Edmund – I know from the beginning he would be an archer. I also knew I wanted to write about war and its aftereffects, as well as plague (this was well before Covid) – and that I did not want to write about aristocrats. Edmund and his cohorts are peasants, serfs, villeins, the lowest of the low.I read widely about rural life in mid-14th century England, my son drove me around the back lanes of Berkshire in search of the exact setting, and I started to write in 2015. The novel was initially intended for a young adult audience, but morphed into fiction for adults – I wanted no constrictions.Because I was in love with the research, and assumed you would be too, I wrote a sprawling, unmanageable mess of a novel, and then spent years (literally) cutting it back until it was the length it needed to be.The Arrows of Mercy was launched.Although set in 1348, the novel's themes of plague, PTSD and scorched-earth warfare (think Syria and Ukraine) are all-too relevant to today's world.https://jillmaclean.mywriting.network/about-me/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been making plenty of headlines in the last few days thanks to a mix of career moves, family moments, and candid responses lighting up social media. The biggest music news is his release of the music video for Speed Demon, the lead track from his new album SWAG II. Shot in striking black and white and directed by longtime collaborator Rory Kramer, the video takes place at the Empire Polo Club—the iconic grounds of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. This location choice is no coincidence, as Justin is set to headline Coachella in 2026, sharing the stage with fellow chart-toppers Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G. Clips from the video show him dancing across the Coachella grounds while his family, including wife Hailey, cheer him on, combining professional triumph with personal warmth as reported by BOB FM and Krush 92.5.Family life is also in the spotlight, with Justin and Hailey sharing affectionate photos and playful Halloween snapshots on Instagram. Hailey posted a series of pictures from their trip to celebrate Kendall Jenner's 30th birthday, including several candid bikini shots that prompted Justin's unfiltered four-word public reply: Oh my fuckin god, as spotted by Elle and UNILAD. The two also dressed up as The Incredibles for Halloween with their one-year-old son Jack, earning a shout-out from Disney and fueling even more love from fans and followers. On November 4, Justin posted his own PDA-filled photo with Hailey, drawing countless likes and comments, as covered by iHeartRadio.Meanwhile, Justin recently admitted in a Halloween livestream that touring still feels daunting and the idea of hitting the road is overwhelming, a sentiment that's resonated across interviews and fan forums as noted by Max FM. While these remarks hint that major touring is not imminent, they underscore his ongoing transition between superstar obligations and family priorities.In business news, while it's Hailey in the headlines due to the blockbuster launch of her Rhode beauty brand at Sephora and the ensuing Wall Street rollercoaster for parent company Elf Beauty—details from MarketWatch—the Bieber name continues to drive both media and financial buzz. Notably, Justin quietly exited his streetwear label Drew House some months ago, marking a significant change in his entrepreneurial footprint, according to Spreaker's Justin Bieber Audio Biography.On social media, his every move and comment—especially those about his wife—have attracted swift attention, creating a viral ripple effect. Despite past rough patches, outlets like People and Elle note the couple is tighter than ever, with parenthood deepening their connection and shaping this new, more grounded phase of Justin's life. His blend of public affection, career evolution, and candid admissions has cemented his standing as one of pop culture's most watched figures this November.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has hit headlines again this week both for his career decisions and his increasingly public devotion to family life. The most significant news is his open admission that touring is simply not a priority for him right now. During a recent Twitch livestream where he spent the evening carving pumpkins with friends, Justin told fans that years of touring have left him burned out and even just the idea of getting back on the road feels super daunting. According to People magazine, he said he loves performing, but committing to a year and a half or more of global touring is out of the question for now. Instead, Bieber is focusing all his energy on select, high-impact events like Coachella, where he will perform both his latest albums, including “Swag” and “Swag 2,” for the first time, alongside his classic hits. He is set to headline on both Saturdays of the festival, April 11 and 18, which organizers and fans alike consider a major pop moment and potential career pivot.In terms of music news, Justin is back with fresh visuals as well. A new video for his song “Speed Demon” just dropped, filmed at the Coachella festival grounds, generating buzz across platforms and fueling anticipation for his upcoming live sets. On the lighter side of pop culture, he's gone viral for admitting to delaying the start of his concerts to finish intense ping pong games with his crew, as revealed by Z97.1, which fans embraced as peak Bieber quirkiness.On the home front, Justin's relationship with Hailey remains a magnet for attention. The couple recently celebrated Halloween with their son Jack, dressing up as the Incredibles, which even earned a shoutout from Disney. Social media went into overdrive when Hailey posted a bikini photo carousel from Kendall Jenner's 30th birthday getaway; Justin's explicit public comment was widely shared, underlining ongoing chemistry between the couple. Elle reported that insiders see them as soulmates, with parenthood deepening their bond. More PDA-filled photos from Justin have circulated, showing a couple enjoying family milestones and taking little notice of outside commentary.There's also a brush with the business world. Hailey Bieber's Rhode beauty brand scored a record-breaking launch at Sephora this fall, though the parent company Elf Beauty's stock dropped after weaker-than-expected earnings, as reported by MarketWatch. Overall, the lasting impact comes from Justin's step back from touring and his visible prioritization of family and selective, meaningful musical moments—signaling a new era less defined by constant movement and more by intentional choices. No substantial unverified rumors have surfaced, and all major stories are confirmed by established media outlets.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo dominated headlines again over the past few days as he led Al Nassr to a 3-1 victory over Neom in the Saudi Pro League on November 8. The Portuguese star scored in that match, pushing his official career tally to a breathtaking 953 goals. WorldSoccerTalk reports that after hitting the net, Ronaldo took to social media to inspire fans with a simple four-word message: ‘Work hard, stay humble,' emphasizing his enduring drive and humility despite his legendary status.Celebrations ran deep on and off the pitch. Ronaldo was seen taking a special photo with a young fan in the stands, a gesture that quickly became a viral moment on YouTube. Social media erupted with praise for his performance, and Sportskeeda highlighted his own message of gratitude posted to fans, showing that, despite the years and all the attention, he remains keenly connected with his global audience.In a revealing interview aired this week, Ronaldo spoke to Piers Morgan on the 'UR.Cristiano' YouTube channel—and it drew plenty of buzz. He opened up about life in Saudi Arabia, describing the country as a “lovely” place for his family and confirming just how comfortable and settled he is in the Gulf. He did admit, however, that the “traffic is terrible,” revealing to Morgan with a laugh the one thing about Saudi living he truly dislikes, but quickly clarified that outside busy hours, things are just fine. More notably, Ronaldo also casually confirmed what few athletes in world history can claim: he became a billionaire “many years ago,” brushing off financial questions and emphasizing that money is “no longer important.”There was yet another round of speculation and typical controversy as fan posts and football blogs picked up on footage of Ronaldo passionately arguing with referees during matches—a now-routine sight that keeps fans and critics talking, according to Tribuna.No new major business ventures or partnerships have been confirmed in the past few days, and Ronaldo's long-term deal with Al Nassr, inked earlier this summer through 2027, remains one of the sport's most lucrative. Rumors swirl, as always, about his future ambitions, but the player himself made it clear in conversation that his sights are set on one final legendary achievement: lifting the 2026 World Cup with Portugal.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira has just closed a triumphant homecoming, performing the final Colombian dates of her Women Dont Cry Anymore tour. Her sold-out Bogotá show sparked headlines as the superstar shared the stage with the Women's Philharmonic of Bogotá and delivered an emotional message, declaring there is nothing like playing at home and thanking her country for their love. Colombian outlets are buzzing about the massive economic impact of the tour, which drew over 370 thousand fans across Bogotá, Barranquilla, Cali, and Medellín according to coverage by Eastern Nazarene College and local media.The tour itself has become record-breaking. According to Billboard, Shakira was just named the highest-grossing female Latin touring artist in music history, grossing more than 327 million dollars so far with over 2.5 million tickets sold—and the run is not over yet. This accomplishment was recognized at the Billboard Live Music Summit where she was awarded the inaugural Global Touring Icon prize, a career-defining moment that made music industry headlines. Video of her emotional acceptance speech has been trending across social platforms and music news, with Shakira thanking her fans and crew for helping her make history and saying she feels like she is only just getting started.Despite a handful of reschedulings and last-minute logistical challenges, Shakira's team has managed to keep momentum strong. Performance innovations including elaborate stage design, high-tech CGI interludes, and unique collaborations—for example, performing La Pared with the Bogotá Philharmonic—have been praised by fans and critics, noted on Wikipedia's running log as well as major outlets like Marca. Production costs approaching three million dollars per concert reportedly make this the most ambitious tour of her career. She told GQ España that she deserved nothing less after so many years in music.Beyond music, Shakira's business empire remains strong with fragrance and fashion lines ongoing and her foundation's charity work continuing to receive media mention. There is some speculative chatter about potential new collaborations to be announced after the South American leg concludes, but nothing has yet been officially confirmed. Social media remains obsessed with her setlists, elaborate costumes, and the fact that she continues to inspire multiple generations, shown by the cross-generational crowds at shows.Marking important biographical milestones, Shakira's breakthrough album Pies Descalzos just celebrated 30 years, with both it and Oral Fixation honored by Spotify in a special Anniversaries series. Looking ahead, she is set to finish the current tour in Argentina in December. Industry buzz suggests that with these milestones and recent global prizes, Shakira has cemented not just her musical staying power, but her status as one of the world's true icons.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Peso Pluma has dominated headlines and social media this past week, making waves both musically and culturally. Fresh off a high-profile performance at ComplexCon Las Vegas 2025, one of the top stories is his collaboration with GAS Trading Cards and ComplexCon, producing a specially designed collector's item featuring Peso Pluma himself. This exclusive trading card, described by Complex as a way for fans to “own a piece of that moment,” comes in various collectible editions with some containing rare gold foil and personal autographs. The card rollout caught intense buzz, with Complex noting Peso's role in “redefining regional Mexican music for a new generation.” The collectible trend further cements his status as not just a star performer but a cross-media influencer courted by lifestyle and branding ventures.On the live scene, Peso Pluma played a major role at this year's ComplexCon, while also being included in upcoming top-level shows at venues like Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas, a clear testament to his staying power as a touring force, with box office demand that rivals global superstars according to venue announcements. Social media lit up after his appearance, with fans and critics praising his on-stage charisma and genre-busting collaborations. This hype fueled real-world fan activity too, as LAist reported on a Peso Pluma lookalike contest that drew hundreds to Echo Park in Los Angeles, a testament to his outsized cultural footprint. The community event showcased just how quickly Peso Pluma's persona and style have become iconic, inspiring both adoration and playful imitation.Romantically, Peso's personal life is again a topic of interest, especially after WECB Urban and other outlets confirmed he and Kenia Os are now very publicly a couple, sharing affection and music clips across TikTok and Instagram. Their displays—smiles, pet names, and candid moments—have delighted fans and fueled a new round of “couple of the year” predictions online. This follows the much publicized end of his relationship with Nicki Nicole earlier this year, a breakup that itself earned major coverage from People and other international media.However, Peso also continues to navigate the complexities that come with stardom in regional Mexican music. Rolling Stone pointed out ongoing cartel threats to major regional stars including Peso Pluma—a sobering reminder of the realities many artists in the genre face. Authorities in Baja California are reportedly monitoring these threats closely, but Peso Pluma's continued prominence and resilience amidst these concerns only add to his mythos.At a time when Latin artists are drawing global attention, Peso Pluma's multifaceted presence—from music, branding, and public life to social media chatter—both reflects and propels the movement. Headlines this week are flooding the feed with tales of his success, style, and staying power, marking him as one of the most significant Latino cultural figures in the world right now.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Sam Bankman-Fried has stormed back into the headlines this past week, as his fight for a new trial unfolded before a skeptical panel of judges at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan. The former FTX CEO, notorious for orchestrating what prosecutors called an eleven billion dollar fraud, is now two years into a twenty-five-year sentence at FCI Terminal Island. His legal team, led by Alexandra Shapiro—who, in a twist of legal fate, is also representing Sean Diddy Combs in his appeal—argued that his first trial was fundamentally unfair, insisting that judge Lewis Kaplan fatally limited the defense and refused to let Bankman-Fried testify fully about the involvement and advice of lawyers. According to Business Insider, the judges appeared unimpressed with these arguments, repeatedly questioning whether any omitted testimony would have shifted the outcome given what one described as “robust evidence” against him.CoinDesk reports that the appellate judges were intensely focused on the fairness of excluding his testimony about legal advice and whether prosecutors told a misleadingly “morally compelling” story about “forever lost” billions. Sam's attorney pushed the argument that FTX investors and customers are actually slated to recover, and even exceed, their losses thanks to recent asset liquidations. Judge Eunice Lee openly challenged whether that matters for fraud conviction—referencing recent Supreme Court precedent that says making victims whole doesn't erase a crime if you appropriated their funds.The press fixated on Sam's parents, who watched the proceedings nervously and are reportedly working every angle, including a possible pardon from President Trump—fuelled no doubt by the news, shouted from the likes of SFist and Bloomberg, that Trump recently pardoned Binance founder Changpeng CZ Zhao, whose company famously donated to a Trump crypto venture. Bankman-Fried's new “I'm a Republican now” tack even saw him reportedly appear from jail on Tucker Carlson's show. On social media, echoes of the family's lobbying and trial drama inched up trending topics, but little in the way of true public sympathy emerged.Despite the legal spectacle and the outsized personalities, most legal experts quoted in outlets like the Associated Press and Banking Dive remained convinced that overturning Sam's conviction is exceedingly unlikely—especially after multiple jurors, including his one-time romantic partner, testified he personally ordered financial coverups. The judges deferred their ruling, but the consensus is that Bankman-Fried's hope now pivots less on the courts, and far more on politics and presidential mercy. No major new business ventures, public appearances, or authentic social interactions from Sam himself have registered—though accounts suggest he continues to post on social media through intermediaries, keeping the legend, and the scandal, alive.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Ed Sheeran BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Ed Sheeran has been making international headlines over the past few days, blending music, advocacy, and business in ways few artists manage at his level. Perhaps the biggest headline comes from his high-profile appearance at Spotify's Billions Club Live event in Dublin on November 3, where Sheeran wowed thousands by performing live renditions of his biggest hits including Bam Bam I Don't Care Beautiful People and I See Fire. Video recaps from the night have gone viral, adding to the occasion's significance as it celebrated his landmark streaming achievements. Mix 92.9 reports that the event was not just a party for fans but also a testament to his commercial power in the streaming era, with social media flooded by clips and fan reactions.Sheeran is also deep into his LOOP world tour, recently announcing the massive North American leg that will see him hit Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas in July 2026. The continued sell-out tour is set to keep Ed's name in lights for months to come and sustain his already sky-high valuation—Trinyetra confirms his net worth as of 2025 sits comfortably at 200 million dollars, buoyed by his music and savvy investments in real estate and other ventures.On the business and charitable front, Ed Sheeran's recent advocacy has just sparked a sea change in UK music education. As reported by Record of the Day and AOL, Sheeran penned an open letter that directly spurred government action. His push led to new funding and reforms in the music curriculum across England, earning him personal praise from Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Keir Starmer, highlighting his sway beyond music charts and into public policy.In parallel, Sheeran's early career history came full circle this week with the preservation of key grassroots music venues The Joiners in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol. These iconic establishments, which helped launch Sheeran's own career, were bought by the Own Our Venues Community Ownership Scheme. The move ensures a protected future for the spaces that nurture the UK's next wave of artists and amplifies Sheeran's role in safeguarding music's next generation.On social media, his Dublin performance and advocacy wins have both trended globally. While tabloids buzz with constant speculation over unreleased music and rumored A-list collaborations, no concrete new album announcements have surfaced this week. Still, Ed's combination of major live moments, social impact, and business prowess puts him squarely at the center of both entertainment headlines and industry conversations as the week closes.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.It has been a news-packed few days for Mr. Beast, and if you are following the highs, the drama, and the ambition, you're in the right place. I just dropped what might be my most personally revealing viral video yet, with YouTube buzzing over me reacting to a time-capsule message I filmed for myself at age 17. Back then, I had only 8,000 subscribers and I wondered if I'd hit one million by 2025 or be, in my words, “a loser.” Fast forward, and as Business Insider and others report, I addressed my younger self and talked about how “YouTube runs in my veins,” crediting sheer stubbornness for powering me through when no one believed the dream. Social media has been on fire, with fans sharing clips and doubling down on praise for sticking with the journey.But the last twenty-four hours have also seen a wave of mainstream headlines around my recent warnings about the future of online creators. As reported by Business Today and echoed by Storyboard18, I've been vocal on X expressing genuine fear about how AI tools like OpenAI's Sora will impact creator livelihoods. I called these “scary times for YouTube,” pointing out that when AI-generated videos are indistinguishable from real ones, the entire industry could be upended almost overnight. This isn't just personal anxiety—it's sparked a broader debate and tons of discussion in the creator economy over where original content goes from here.On the business front, Bloomberg just broke the story that Beast Industries—the empire I've been building—is now laying plans for a full-blown entertainment conglomerate, with no less than a real theme park in the works. The vision? Something to rival Disney. And that's just the start: we're already planning a “cinematic universe” and large-scale entertainment ventures, with me as the face of the brand. In parallel, Fortune and Business Insider report I've filed trademark applications to launch a MrBeast-branded mobile phone service by 2026, aiming for a disruptive Mint Mobile-style offering.Of course, controversy isn't far away. Malay Mail and IBTimes picked up my latest viral stunt where stuntman Eric had to escape from a burning house for a shot at half a million dollars. This video triggered an ethics debate across YouTube and Twitter, with some fans thrilled, but critics raising concerns about pushing the limits of spectacle in the name of entertainment.Meanwhile, philanthropy remains core. I smashed the 40 million dollar fundraising goal with #TeamWater, announced on YouTube and echoed across global media, to bring clean water to two million people. The outpouring of global support and viral celebration on social media has reminded everyone why giving back is still at the heart of everything.Just last week, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that I'll be honored at Operation Smile's New York gala with the Cotto Changemaker Award for my advocacy work, though I'll be joining virtually. It's been a whirlwind of business deals, headline-making stunts, and social commentary, all signaling another transformative period—not only for my brand, but for the creator world at large.Thanks for listening to the latest on Mr. Beast—subscribe now to never miss an update on the world's most-watched YouTuber, and if you want more great Biographies, search the term Biography Flash.And that is it for today.

He ended his two-year Forget Tomorrow World Tour with a final show in Istanbul on July 30 capping off a sprawling run that at times drew both acclaim and controversy.

Timberlake even posted a lighthearted photo at home after the tour flashing a cheeky smile in a sweatshirt that read “I'm not doing s star today mission accomplished” capturing both relief and resilience. His NSYNC bandmate Chris Kirkpatrick publicly praised his strength saying Timberlake's grit and determination through illness was “superhero status” according to AOL Entertainment.His tour finale was not without criticism. Social media buzzed after viral clips showed Timberlake letting crowds sing entire choruses with some on X questioning his energy and vocals others defending it as a universal move for big acts and a way to engage fans. Debate intensified as rumors swirled that tension has grown between Timberlake and his wife Jessica Biel especially after her Emmy campaign for The Better Sister ended without a nomination and he was notably absent. Star Magazine sources speculated their marriage may be at a crossroads and close friends are concerned about their future but these remain unconfirmed.On the business front Timberlake keeps forging ahead. Austin Business Journal reports he is teaming up again with restaurateur Sam Fox to expand The Twelve Thirty Club to a new Austin location reinforcing his standing as a serious entrepreneur outside music. There is also fresh focus on his legacy with Recognition Music Group's ongoing restructuring following the sale of Hipgnosis's US music publishing arm to Sony in June and his own song catalog—sold to Hipgnosis in 2022—now grouped under this mega music rights entity as chronicled on the Wikipedia entry for Recognition Music Group.Career-wise Timberlake is reportedly eager to reignite his acting prospects. Reality Tea cites sources saying he's reaching out to past collaborators like David Fincher and Mila Kunis hoping for a Hollywood comeback after years without a blockbuster hit. Insiders say he's determined to land a major studio vehicle rather than rebuilding with indie or supporting roles.Social media remains lively with fresh clips surfacing across platforms—recent YouTube Shorts featured both his collaborations with Madonna and 50 Cent revisiting past chart-toppers when fans celebrated his career highs. All told Timberlake's last few days have been a potent mix of professional closure personal vulnerability and hints at a new chapter on stage screen and in business.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

According to OKC FOX and the Oklahoma City Philharmonic, the format is uniquely intimate: audiences experience the songs alongside Dolly's own reflections, amplifying both nostalgia and emotional resonance.Yahoo and AOL reported that, following last month's concerns about her health including a cancelled Las Vegas residency due to kidney stones, Parton surfaced on Instagram with trademark humor, telling fans she “ain't dead yet”—swiftly ending the rumor mill.

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the past few days Andrew Huberman has been front and center in the neuroscience and wellness spheres with both academic rigor and broad public reach. The most notable headline is the November 6 release of his Huberman Lab Essentials episode called “Erasing Fears and Traumas Using Modern Neuroscience,” where Huberman dives into how deliberate daily practices—like five minutes of cyclic hyperventilation—can rewire the brain's fear responses. He breaks down the neural circuits involved, citing the amygdala and dopamine systems, and offers evidence-based strategies such as prolonged exposure therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, and even discusses the cutting edge use of ketamine and MDMA for PTSD. The episode quickly climbed the podcast and YouTube ranks, reflecting significant engagement and concrete potential for impact in clinical and lifestyle settings.On the business front, Huberman continues to steer his expanding empire across media, science, and health optimization. His podcast remains the number one health and fitness show on Apple and Spotify, frequently featured in best-of charts. Recent social media posts on Instagram and X highlight his protocols for sleep, stress management, and metabolic health, drawing thousands of likes and repeated enthusiastic comments lauding his ability to make science accessible and actionable. Subscribers to his newsletter, now nearing one million, received exclusive insights this week including what's dubbed the “Daily Blueprint”—detailing Huberman's own routine with practical steps for productivity and wellbeing.Meanwhile, his new book “Protocols” remains highly anticipated in pre-order status, billed as a definitive guide for improving brain function and overall health through habits and biochemical interventions. In industry news, ABC World News Tonight covered Huberman's appearance to discuss “10 Habits You Must Improve Every Day to Rewire Your Brain,” bringing his science-backed advice to a mainstream television audience. This appearance has further elevated his pop culture status as a go-to authority on optimizing mental performance and resilience.Within academic circles, Huberman is referenced in discussions alongside Dr. David Sinclair on the topic of slowing aging, with his perspectives on neural plasticity and longevity gaining ground in medical and scientific media outlets. While his recent stance on drug repurposing for neurological and immune conditions was spotlighted via collaboration with Dr. David Fajgenbaum, this continues a trend of merging clinical discovery with public education and advocacy.Rumors have circulated about upcoming public appearances, potentially including a keynote at a major veterans' mental health gala next week, though this is not yet confirmed and should be treated as speculation. There has been no verified controversy or negative press in the last few days, and feedback remains overwhelmingly positive. In short, the biographical stakes for Huberman have only grown—his accessibility, practical expertise, and ever-expanding audience reinforce his status as a primary architect at the intersection of neuroscience and everyday life.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Jo Jo Siwa BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.JoJo Siwa is making headlines yet again, with recent days marking a clear shift from teen phenom to young adult pop culture force. The biggest story is her whirlwind romance with British reality star Chris Hughes, which just moved from speculation to fully public status. The two first met as contestants on Celebrity Big Brother UK earlier this year, triggering immediate rumors. After months of denying any connection beyond friendship, Siwa finally confirmed in an interview with The Guardian on June 2 that she and Hughes are officially together, calling their relationship “a beautiful development” and gushing that she is “head over heels” for him. The public has since seen a steady stream of affectionate posts and vacation snaps, most notably from their cozy trip to the English countryside where they went horseback riding and Siwa joked about finally overcoming her long-standing horse phobia. According to People, she captioned these photos with “nothing beats wholesome & pure days like these,” signaling a softer, more intimate side of her highly curated public persona.The pair also made a splash with PDA-filled appearances, most notably their red carpet debut at Dancers Against Cancer's 2025 Gala of the Stars in October, proving the relationship has legs in both tabloid and mainstream entertainment coverage according to AOL and Parade.Siwa hasn't just been making romantic news. With Pride Month 2025 underway, she's been visible as a queer advocate, sharing an impactful message on Instagram to her 11.3 million followers. She emphasized the beauty of “love, acceptance, and celebration” and clapped back at ongoing critics of her sexuality, stating that “people saying my sexuality is fake is actually crazy and a discredit to my life,” as reported by Us Weekly. This follows her public discussion earlier in the year during Celebrity Big Brother UK, where she described embracing a broader queer identity and expressed frustration with being put in a box.On the business and tour front, Siwa continues to capitalize on her brand power. Bandsintown lists active merchandise lines and recent international performances, with a high-profile Melbourne show in late November buzzing on social media. Recent analytics show her Instagram account maintains significant reach—over 11 million followers, though engagement rates are only average for her category, according to HypeAuditor.

All these are underscored by a commitment to living life on her own terms—with the headlines, hashtags, and heart emojis to prove it.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Post Malone has been buzzing everywhere this week as rumors reach a fever pitch that he'll headline the Dallas Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day halftime show for the 2025 Red Kettle Kickoff. The Dallas Cowboys and the Salvation Army have dropped heavy hints on social media, including visuals of an eighteen-wheeler painted in Post's signature Bud Light blue and a Dak Prescott bobblehead nodding to his “Wow.” lyrics, all but confirming Malone as the performer. Outlets ranging from Holler Country to Whiskey Riff and MySanAntonio are calling his appearance a near lock, though as of today the official announcement is still pending. If true, this slot would be milestone territory as the Cowboys' Thanksgiving show is widely dubbed “second to the Super Bowl” in terms of exposure, and would only deepen Posty's bond with his home state and country music roots.Speaking of country, Malone remains planted firmly in his “country era.” His 2024 album F-1 Trillion continues to perform, and recent behind-the-scenes chatter points toward another country album in the pipeline for 2026. Chart-wise, his career-retrospective The Diamond Collection is still moving units, sitting at number 17 on Hits Daily Double's Top 50 albums for November 7, indicating sustained interest across genres.Social media has been a mixed bag for Post. Instagram analytics show a slight dip of 0.19 percent in followers over the month, holding steady at just under 27 million. Engagement remains respectable, with an average of 142,000 likes and 750 comments per post, but experts note his income from Instagram is trending downward after peaking in 2024. On the lighter side, his humility has gone viral again: a TikTok video of Malone sweetly interacting with a young fan at a restaurant has millions calling him the “nicest guy in music,” reinforcing his reputation for genuine kindness.In lighter headlines, Post dressed up as himself for Halloween and managed to walk Bourbon Street unrecognized, telling Theo Von's podcast all it took was his usual flannel shirt and lack of facial tattoos to go incognito. Meanwhile, fans are humorously campaigning for him to get a Queer Eye makeover, as Karamo Brown from the Netflix show revealed on X. Post himself joked that his fans “just think I'm ugly and smell,” showing classic self-deprecation but also love for the show.Businesswise, his multimillion-dollar tequila venture with Dre London continues to earn buzz, but no new business initiatives have been confirmed this week. On the personal front, Post is still reflecting on fatherhood in recent interviews, sharing adorable anecdotes about his three-year-old daughter's love of George Strait and emphasizing how family has grounded him amid career highs.In sum, with his likely Cowboys Thanksgiving performance, steady music sales, and relentless viral likability, Post Malone continues to prove he is not only a superstar but a cultural touchstone—one who can headline a stadium, charm a child, and step incognito through New Orleans, all in the same week.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Post Malone has dominated headlines this week thanks to a swirl of excitement around the upcoming Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Halftime Show. Multiple outlets including the El Paso Times and Holler Country report that the Red Kettle Kickoff—one of the NFLs most-watched annual performances—is gearing up to reveal Post as its 2025 headliner. The official announcement is still pending, but the hype machine is running hot after the Cowboys dropped a teaser video full of Posty-style Easter eggs, including a big blue truck reminiscent of his tour branding and a Dak Prescott bobblehead; both references are calling cards for the Dallas superfan and country crossover sensation. Social media chatter exploded with fans and industry watchers all but confirming his appearance, and speculation is flying that his set will be a full-circle Texas moment for the artist who just keeps racking up historic milestones.On the business front, Postys ongoing pivot to country paid off all year following his F-1 Trillion album launch, and rumors continue about another major country release coming in 2026. According to Hits Daily Double, his compilation The Diamond Collection is still pulling strong chart activity, reflecting the staying power of his massive singles and genre-bending appeal. Behind the scenes, Post remains tied to music entrepreneurship through his partnership with Dre London, the executive who helped guide his early career as detailed in a recent Earn Your Leisure appearance.Viral moments and public appearances kept his star power high. Halloween saw Post embracing his own meme status, walking New Orleans in typical Posty garb—meaning, just himself—without getting recognized, an anecdote he recently shared that highlighted his ability to blend in even at superstar heights. Meanwhile, fans on TikTok and Instagram showered him with praise after clips showing his trademark politeness with kids and superfans circulated widely. The mom of a young fan immortalized a sweet restaurant encounter, fueling his reputation as the nicest guy in the business, further cemented by Taylor Swift at the 2024 VMAs referencing how humble and polite he is with peers.On social media, analytics from HypeAuditor reveal that while his Instagram engagement remains robust, he has seen a slight dip in follower growth this past month. Current figures show him steady at around 27 million followers with monthly earnings estimated between 54000 and 74000 dollars; not a major downturn but a reminder that even music icons peak and plateau on these platforms.Speculation also heated up after fans lobbied for Post to take part in Netflixs Queer Eye, with series star Karamo Brown confirming a flood of fan requests—though Post himself denied asking for it, joking that people just think hes ugly and smell. He continues to take the ribbing in stride, proving that authenticity remains central to his brand. No major controversies or negative press emerged, and all recent developments underscore his evolving influence, genre-transcending music, and uniquely approachable personality.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

A BIOGRAPHY OF A MOUNTAIN: The Making and Meaning of Mt. Rushmore, by Matthew Davis (St. Martin's Press, on sale November 11, 2025, $30.00), is a powerful comprehensive history of Mt. Rushmore, written in light of recent political controversies, and a timely retrospective for the monument's 100th anniversary in 2025. Davis has penned an impressive work of narrative nonfiction, combining history with reportage, bringing this complicated and nuanced story of the famous, and infamous, mountain to life.From the lands origins as sacred tribal ground; to the expansion of the American West; to the complicated and larger-than-life personality of Gutzon Borglum, the artist who carved the presidential faces into the mountain; and, up to the politicized present-day conflicts over the site and its future, Matthew Davis paints a fascinating picture of perhaps the most debated monument in our nation. Gerard Baker, the first Native American superintendent of Mt. Rushmore shared this sentiment about the mountain with the author: "Well, most people want to come to a national park and leave with that warm fuzzy feeling with an ice cream cone. Rushmore can't do that if you do it the right way. If you do it the right way people are going to be leaving pissed." That perhaps sums up the complicated history of Rushmore better than any other, especially with talk of additional sculpture(s) added to the side of the mountain?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has made headlines over the past week for a series of newsworthy moves, emotional reveals, and business milestones that signal a new chapter both professionally and personally. Currently 31, Justin emerged from a period of relative quiet to preview new music and open up on Twitch, the live-streaming platform he joined just days ago. Fans have gotten a raw look at his daily life—skateboarding, studio sessions, and candid conversations—where he's reflected on the challenge of being emotionally vulnerable in the public eye. Displaying his signature transparency, Bieber told viewers sharing himself in this way is “vulnerable as hell,” admitting that even supportive comments can be overshadowed by online negativity, but he insisted that he still has his zest for life, despite critics. Music fans are buzzing about Justin's return to the spotlight. This year marked his first live performance in the U.S. since 2022, with his next major performance set for Coachella 2026 as a Saturday headliner. The Coachella announcement, which also features Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, and Anyma, sold out in days and prompted Hailey Bieber, his wife, to share her excitement on Instagram with a playful “BIEBERCHELLA!!!!!!!!! :)” Justin revealed that while he's excited and working hard for the Coachella set, the prospect of a traditional world tour feels “super daunting.” After years of non-stop touring, balancing new fatherhood with 15-month-old son Jack Blues, and his marriage to Hailey, Justin now prefers “spot dates,” choosing quality and family over quantity and exhaustion. According to People, he's made it clear he'll focus on select shows rather than year-long touring marathons, explaining that he plans to perform new material from his Swag albums live for the first time at Coachella. Behind the scenes, Bieber has quietly staged a business transformation. According to CEO Today, he launched his minimalist, high-quality streetwear line SKYLRK in 2025, with the debut collection selling out within hours and earning comparisons to Fenty and Yeezy. Bieber's strategy sees him leveraging his social media reach, estimated at over 290 million followers, for direct-to-consumer sales and exclusive events. This pivot, coupled with his wife Hailey's beauty brand Rhode, positions the couple as a power duo in entertainment entrepreneurship. With Bieber's net worth estimated at $300 million and SKYLRK's next drop already rumored to involve top designer collaborations, industry watchers see Justin's moves as a blueprint for celebrity-led brand empires. On social platforms, Justin's Twitch streams, Hailey's Instagram posts celebrating his achievements, and the family's outing to a World Series game in LA have kept the Biebers' name trending. While there are always tabloids hinting at drama—Justin recently dismissed rumors as “gossip and lies”—verified reporting points to a man prioritizing family, business innovation, and a return to passionate music-making on his own terms.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

This is poised to be his most significant stage appearance in years, with Bieber confirming that he'll debut live renditions of new material from his acclaimed seventh studio album Swag, which industry insiders predict will receive Grammy nominations when the nods are announced later this week.In recent livestreams, Bieber has been candid about grappling with his past habits, sharing heartfelt reflections on unlearning old patterns and embracing vulnerability—“Being vulnerable can be really scary,” he confided to fans, “but we get to change those things, which is nice.” He's also been transparent about the physical and emotional toll of touring; during a Twitch broadcast, he admitted that the prospect of another world tour “sounds super daunting,” adding, “I really want to do spot dates, where I just pick maybe a city and do a couple shows, and not commit to a whole two-year run.” For now, Bieber's sole live focus is Coachella, where he plans to blend new tracks with classics, giving fans a first proper taste of the Swag era live.Bieber's business profile is surging thanks to the launch of his high-end streetwear label SKYLRK. As reported by CEO Today, the first collection had a meteoric sellout, spotlighting Bieber's evolution from pop star to fashion entrepreneur and signaling a strategic shift towards refined, minimalist aesthetics. This marks a significant move beyond his earlier Drew House brand, placing him at the forefront of luxury-adjacent celebrity fashion. Bieber's stewardship of SKYLRK—fully owned and operated under his personal management—has already earned comparisons to Rihanna's Fenty and Kanye West's Yeezy, suggesting his business legacy could ultimately rival his musical one.The synergy with Hailey Bieber remains strong: she continues to drive her Rhode skincare line, which made waves with a sale that Bloomberg says set new beauty industry standards. Their joint focus on family and wellness is evident too—Bieber took a pause from rehearsals last week to cheer on the Toronto Blue Jays at the World Series with Hailey and their 14-month-old son Jack, showcasing a more grounded and relatable side of celebrity life. On social media, the Coachella hype was amplified when Hailey posted “BIEBERCHELLA!!!!!!!!! :)” with the festival lineup, a moment that rapidly trended across platforms.In sum, this week's headlines—Bieber's Twitch transparency, Coachella debut prep, SKYLRK's breakout success, and intimate glimpses into his life with Hailey—point to an artist and entrepreneur fully in command of his next chapter, with potential long-term implications for both his brand and his legacy. All business developments and statements referenced here are verified by recent reporting from People, CEO Today, and music news organizations; speculation about upcoming collaborations and Grammy recognition is clearly noted as such by industry sources.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo's life off and on the pitch has generated more headlines than most superstars manage in a career, and the past days have been no exception. Fresh off a candid sit-down with Piers Morgan for an interview set to air in early November, the 40-year-old Al Nassr icon has opened up with remarkable transparency about retirement, legacy, and what comes next. According to the Times of India and Piers Morgan's own announcement on X, this latest interview promises to be the most revealing yet, with Ronaldo confirming he's preparing for the end of his legendary career—“Soon, I think I will be prepared,” he remarked, adding that while it will be tough and emotional, he's been bracing for this moment since his mid-20s. He even admitted, “Probably I will cry, yes,” but reassured fans he's eager for life after football, especially more time with his family, his children, and new pursuits like business, UFC, and padel—though he ruled out becoming a YouTuber, playfully teasing that he wants to try “funny things I've never done before.”On the World Cup, Ronaldo's tone has notably shifted. After Portugal's heartbreaking exit in Qatar, he called lifting the trophy his “most ambitious dream,” but in this new interview, reported by Hindustan Times and GhanaWeb, he now downplays its significance, arguing it's unfair to judge a player's greatness by just one tournament. This reversal has drawn both criticism and sympathy on social media, with some fans seeing it as acceptance—or even frustration—after seeing his longtime rival Lionel Messi finally claim the prize.Meanwhile, Ronaldo's business empire continues to hum. He's now officially a billionaire, a milestone he confirmed to Piers Morgan, though he insists money is no longer the driving force. He's extended his Al Nassr contract through 2027, per Sportskeeda, and remains the face of Saudi football, even as he jokes about Riyadh's “terrible” traffic and his preference for a chauffeur over sitting behind the wheel—a rare, relatable quip unearthed by Sport Bible.Family remains central: his son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., has debuted for Portugal's U16s, a proud moment Ronaldo likely attended in person, given reports he's prioritizing family time. On the pitch, his next significant match is against FC Goa in Riyadh, according to OB News, keeping him in the spotlight for Indian fans.On social media, Ronaldo teased the Morgan interview with a cryptic photo captioned with just two eyes, sparking speculation and excitement among his 600 million-plus followers. As for Manchester United, he still follows their results wistfully, telling Morgan he's “sad” to see the club's decline but hopeful for a turnaround.In all, these days have shown a Ronaldo in transition—an icon aware his playing days are numbered, candid about his emotions, and already scripting the next act.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

One of New Zealand's most polarising leaders, the debate around former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern continues to rage two years after her resignation. She led the country between 2017 and 2023, both the Christchurch Mosque shooting and the Covid-19 pandemic falling in her tenure. Although Arden's popularity was immense at the time, the tides have shifted within New Zealand, many questioning the actions she took and the impact they had. "Jacinda: The Untold Stories' is an unauthorised biography written by journalist David Cohen, drawing on more than 100 interviews and extensive research into Ardern's time as Prime Minister. “The ancient Greeks said, ‘count no man lest he be dead'. Jacinda Ardern isn't dead of course, but her political career in New Zealand, not internally, is over,” Cohen told Mike Hosking. “So we can start to assess what went wrong and what went right.” He entered into this project with the intention of creating a balanced account, starting not as a fan of Ardern's nor as an adversary. “I think one of the great tragedies of recent years is that we live in, in an era of the politics of emotion,” Cohen said. “You either love someone or you hate them, and Jacinda played into that with her politics of kindness to some degree.” He describes himself as an “old fashioned journalist”, with 25 years of experience in the field, and balance is a key tenet. “One of our guiding ideas, injunctions, was to tell the other side, so it's actually not a matter of whether I like her or I don't.” “I could say yes to both questions and no to both questions – journalistically, it was important to do this.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On October 25 at ComplexCon in Las Vegas, Peso Pluma made genuine history as the first regional Mexican artist to ever perform at this major cultural festival, a breakthrough that headlines have hailed as both a genre-defining moment and a sign that Mexican music is truly global. The festival, attended by 70,000 fans according to News 3 Las Vegas, featured performances from stars like Young Thug, Yeat, and Central Cee, but it was Peso's set that helped redefine the weekend, solidifying his place not only as a star but as a trailblazer for Latino artists in cross-genre spaces.

Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered by a water boy who serendipitously stumbled on a buried staircase in Egypt's Valley of the Kings on 4th November, 1922. It marked the greatest triumph in archaeologist Howard Carter's career, and unearthed dozens of priceless treasures. The loot included the famous golden death-mask - but also the Pharaoh's walking sticks, linen underwear, and uneaten chickpeas. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how the discovery kickstarted a Western interest in Egpytology that influenced fashion, design and art, and lead directly to Indiana Jones; ask whether Carter was a historian or a grave-robber; and dig into the so-called ‘Mummy's Curse'...  Further Reading: • ‘Discovering King Tutankhamun's tomb: Harry Burton's photographs' (BBC News, 2018): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-44636774 • ‘The History Of A Cursed Ancient Egyptian Tomb' (Channel 5, 2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxot6xmDymQ • ‘Howard Carter - King Tut, Death & Family' (Biography, 2020): https://www.biography.com/scientist/howard-carter This episode first aired in 2021 Love the show?

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.In the latest headline-grabbing moves, MrBeast—known to his fans as Jimmy Donaldson—has again proven his unique ability to dominate both online discourse and major business news. Just in the past few days, speculation erupted around MrBeast's possible involvement in a blockbuster offer to buy TikTok's US operations after the federal ban was temporarily paused. The initial rumors exploded after he teased a willingness to “buy TikTok so it doesn't get banned” on X and Recruiter dot com Ventures CEO Jesse Tinsley publicly claimed MrBeast was part of an investor group submitting an all-cash offer. But according to The Associated Press, his spokesperson denied any official involvement, so the possibility of him stepping into the TikTok fray, while sensational, remains unconfirmed and should be treated as speculation for now.On the business side, MrBeast's giant legal fight with the parent company of MrBeast Burger remains one of the most consequential chapters for the influencer-turned-entrepreneur. Nation's Restaurant News reports that Donaldson is seeking to formally end his partnership with Virtual Dining Concepts, alleging that “disgusting,” “inedible” food and poor quality control have caused irreversible harm to his brand. He accuses the company of using his trademark and likeness without consent and is seeking damages as well as the legal right to terminate the business. Virtual Dining Concepts struck back, calling the suit “misguided” and “bullying,” further fueling this high-stakes business drama with reputational stakes that could shape how creator-led brands partner with large food service operators in the future.In the creator space, MrBeast has been vocally anxious about the rise of AI-generated video content. This week, both Fortune and the Times of India highlighted Donaldson's public warnings that advances in generative AI tools like Sora could make it hard for human creators to compete, calling these “scary times” for millions whose livelihoods depend on producing original content. He's no stranger to controversy in this arena, having previously launched and quickly pulled an AI thumbnail generator following backlash from artists and fans, reinforcing his complicated relationship with AI in the creator economy.Social media coverage of MrBeast has been intense, with his recent posts about AI and TikTok trending widely across X and news headlines. He's been quieter on major new content releases these last few days, but the conversation swirling around his business moves and public warnings about technology's impact is dominating both entertainment and tech circles right now.

IntroductionGrapes in Israel for the use of wine are nothing new. While it had been known that they were certainly ancient, especially as we read of the delegation of scouts in the 13th chapter in the book of Numbers finding massive bunches of grapes, recent work by Professor Elyashiv "Shivi" Drori has uncovered dozens of previously undocumented indigenous varieties of wine grapes in Israel, about which he shares on the 183rd episode of The Jewish Drinking Show.Biography of GuestProf. Drori, a professor of chemical engineering and biotechnology at Ariel University, heads the university's Samson Family Wine Research Center, Israel's premier academic institute dedicated to grapevine and wine research. In addition to his research credentials as an agronomist, plant geneticist and oenologist, Drori is also the chief winemaker at Gva'ot Winery, a boutique producer whose wines have earned global acclaim. Support the showThank you for listening!If you have any questions, suggestions, or more, feel free to reach out at Drew@JewishDrinking.coml'chaim!

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake is once again in the spotlight and not just for his music. As the European leg of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour ramps up, with a scheduled performance at Manchester's Co-op Live arena on November 8, fans are flocking for remaining tickets. The show boasts a setlist loaded with nearly thirty hits, including Cry Me a River, SexyBack, and Mirrors, and the venue is throwing an official Noughties afterparty to keep the nostalgia alive. Timberlake's ability to electrify the stage remains unrivaled, cementing his place as one of pop's enduring titans after more than two decades leading NSYNC and his own multiplatinum solo career.Away from the stage, Timberlake is making business moves. The acclaimed Twelve Thirty Club restaurant, launched with restaurateur Sam Fox in Nashville, is expanding to Austin in early 2026, landing a prime spot in the city's bustling downtown, as confirmed by the Austin Business Journal and MySA. His ventures have always blurred the lines between music, film, and hospitality, signaling Timberlake's ongoing relevance not just as an entertainer but as a brand.But behind the scenes, Timberlake is reportedly focused on healing and introspection. According to AOL, he is taking a temporary break from certain industry commitments to prioritize his personal health. This follows a period of career turbulence in Hollywood, with sources telling Star and Reality Tea that Timberlake is “desperate to revive” his acting trajectory after cooling off since Palmer. Rather than taking humbler roles, Timberlake is said to be “thinking big,” reaching out to some major former collaborators like David Fincher and Mila Kunis as he aims to recapture blockbuster success. Insiders warn though, the road back won't be easy—audiences will demand compelling performances, not just nostalgia.Socially, Timberlake made quiet headlines on Globe for expressing continued support and sympathy for Britney Spears, as her struggles and family drama remain tabloid fodder. While not a direct public appearance, this show of solidarity is seen by some as a meaningful gesture given their shared pop history.Meanwhile, Timberlake's legacy and influence are celebrated everywhere—from upcoming candlelight tribute concerts in Tampa honoring his catalog, to viral TikTok and YouTube shorts resurfacing his classics like SexyBack and Holy Grail, to a new audio biography episode streaming this week. For all the speculation on where Timberlake goes from here, his position in the pop culture pantheon seems secure. Whether rebounding in film, branching into businesses, or returning to the stage, Timberlake remains a headline—one seemingly determined to remind everyone he's still somebody worth watching.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton remains a headline force as November 2025 unfolds with several major developments. One story rocketing across both mainstream outlets and social media was Dolly's unexpected health scare, which began when her sister Freida Parton posted on Facebook asking fans to join her in prayer for Dolly who, it was stated, “hasn't been feeling her best lately.” This triggered a wave of concern and speculation until Dolly herself posted a reassuring video on Instagram declaring, “I ain't dead yet!” and telling fans she's working hard between treatments, having let her health slip after husband Carl Dean's passing earlier this year. Dolly insists her issues are manageable, though she did postpone some public appearances and Las Vegas concert dates to focus on treatment and recovery. She emphasized, “I'm not ready to die yet. I don't think God is through with me and I ain't done working.” This candid approach, amplified by outlets like AOL and USA Today, has put rumors to bed for now, though some sources such as RadarOnline continue to dwell on unconfirmed kidney issues and canceled appearances.On the business front, Dolly is full throttle with hospitality and tourism expansion. According to multiple outlets including Blooloop, People, and KIIM-FM, she has just opened reservations for her much-touted SongTeller Hotel in Nashville, set for a June 2026 grand opening. Embracing her trademark Southern style, the hotel features 245 rooms and themed music venues Jolene's and Dolly's Live. Perhaps the biggest draw will be the adjoining Life of Many Colors Museum on the third floor, a sprawling immersive exhibition of Dolly's career, which she promises will be the “largest exhibit celebrating her life anywhere to date.” Both the hotel and museum are being touted as Dolly's “love letter to the city of Nashville,” with advance museum tickets selling briskly according to several reports.Dollywood also remains in the spotlight as Dolly and her partners at Herschend Family Entertainment reveal ambitious plans for five resorts and a possible expansion toward year-round operation by 2050, outlined in Knoxville News Sentinel. Four hundred acres are already reserved for new lodging, with themes and activities all referencing moments from Dolly's life, ensuring a lasting connection for visitors and the next generation of fans.On the cultural and performance circuit, Dolly's multimedia project Threads: My Songs in Symphony is set for a North Carolina Symphony premiere later this month, with Parton appearing on screen to narrate her story and introduce new orchestral versions of hits such as Jolene and I Will Always Love You. Meanwhile, her hit-packed musical 9 to 5 will be staged at Interlochen Arts Academy on November 16th, highlighting her enduring influence on stage and screen.On social media, Dolly's TikTok account exploded once more when she reposted her previously recorded stripped-down cover of What's Up with original songwriter Linda Perry, cleverly capitalizing on the viral “What's Up Beez in the Trap” mashup phenomena. Fans and celebrities are pouring on praise: “Dolly is my President,” reads one TikTok comment, reinforcing her unbeatable status as a cross-generational icon.In publishing, Dolly is the subject of a new biography, Ain't Nobody's Fool: The Life and Times of Dolly Parton, scheduled for December 30, 2025, and a coffee table book Star of the Show: My Life on Stage arriving November 11.Rounding things out, Pirates Voyage and other Parton-affiliated attractions are set for holiday themed shows and special events—further cementing Dolly's status not only as a star but as a multi-industry mogul who refuses to slow down, despite the recent spate of health rumors. For now, the queen of country looks ready for her next act.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

The Huberman Lab podcast has continued its streak as the number one health and science show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, regularly issuing new episodes and exclusive research-based content as highlighted by HubermanLab dot com and iHeartRadio.

Huberman's social media footprint, especially on YouTube, displays a surge in engagement around his teachings on muscle growth, optimizing performance, and recovery, with recent video releases posted just hours ago and rapidly accumulating views, fan comments, and media reposts.In business news, there are no current ticketed speaking events or public appearances scheduled for this period according to SeatGeek and Andrew's own official channels. His absence from live events is being noticed among fans who are actively searching for opportunities to meet him and have even started Reddit and X threads speculating about his next appearance. However, anticipation is building for the Eudemonia Summit in West Palm Beach, scheduled for November 13 to 16, where Huberman is billed as one of the top 150 world-renowned experts. This upcoming appearance is already generating buzz—wild955.iHeart.com reports strong demand and early inquiries for summit passes, suggesting that his sessions will be major highlights.On the publishing front, preorders for his much-awaited book Protocols remain robust, and newsletters continue to reach over 800,000 subscribers weekly, evidencing sustained interest and deep trust within his audience according to direct testimonials cited on HubermanLab dot com. The feedback praises his ability to blend science with practical advice, and some fans have begun calling for his nomination to major science awards, though this remains purely speculative.Major headlines this week center on Huberman's ongoing role as a science communicator, with media outlets spotlighting excerpts from his podcast, reactions to his recent episode's practical takeaways about health interventions, and escalating speculation around his influence on new longevity research trends. While the week itself lacks dramatic breaking news or controversy, the long-term significance of Huberman's latest content—especially discussions about drug repurposing and science-based lifestyle protocols—continues to shape both the public conversation and scientific communities well beyond the podcast sphere.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been making headlines this past week with a rare but buzzworthy combination of family life, pop culture throwbacks, and big-money business moves. Halloween 2025 was a classic Bieber affair as Justin, Hailey, and their one-year-old son Jack Blues Bieber stole the internet's heart with coordinated costumes inspired by Pixar's The Incredibles. Justin suited up as Mr Incredible, Hailey stunned as Elastigirl, and their son Jack Blues had everyone smiling as the adorable Jack-Jack. According to Netflix Junkie and repeated elsewhere by TMZ, social media went into overdrive when the Biebers posted family photos on X and Instagram, carefully maintaining Jack's privacy by keeping his face out of the spotlight while playing up the playful superhero theme. That costume reveal was only half the magic; Hailey's Instagram stories showed Jack Blues in a follow-up look as a mini version of Justin from his early YouTube years—the purple hoodie, white denim, it was a nostalgia bomb that had both new fans and diehards reminiscing about the pop icon's 2000s stardom. Us Weekly and ABS-CBN picked up the story and confirmed this cute nod to Justin's musical roots.Beyond Halloween, Bieber's business and personal life are still a media focus, especially after Hailey's huge payday: her beauty brand, rhode, was acquired by e.l.f. Beauty for $1 billion in late May. According to PEOPLE and AOL, those close to the Biebers say Justin is “beyond proud” of his wife's entrepreneurial leap, sharing her post and celebrating her new role as Chief Creative Officer. The magnitude of that deal means the Biebers are edging closer to billionaire status as a couple, though exact figures are hard to nail down.In other business news, rumors earlier this year swirled about Justin facing financial headaches linked to last year's tour cancellations and his decision to sell his music catalog for a reported $200 million. TMZ's documentary What Happened to Justin Bieber added fuel to the speculation, with claims that the sale was made under duress due to alleged financial strains, though Justin's representatives dismissed these reports as baseless clickbait. Amid this, Justin quietly separated from his now-iconic fashion line Drew House back in April, announcing via Instagram that he was no longer involved and teasing a new venture called SKYLRK, though he's kept details under wraps for now.On the social front, Justin and Hailey's Halloween antics were picked up by ThatGrapeJuice, adding them to lists with Janet Jackson, Alicia Keys, and Heidi Klum among the most dazzling Halloween appearances of 2025. There have been no confirmed hints of new music or major public appearances from Justin in the past week, but family moments and clever callbacks to his early career ensured that, once again, the Biebers dominated the pop culture conversation.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In the 1960s, John Lewis led the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee, committed to the belief, as the New York Times put it, "that allowing himself to be beaten nearly to death in public would hasten the collapse of Southern apartheid."
