Four years after her husband teamed up with Bruce Springsteen for “Renegades: Born in the USA,” former first lady Michelle Obama is releasing a podcast of her own.

Obama will collaborate with her older brother Craig Robinson for “IMO With Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson.” Debuting Wednesday, the series will feature candid conversations with celebrities and thought leaders.

A starting lineup of guests, shared in a release Monday, included Issa Rae, Glennon Doyle, Jay Shetty, Dwyane Wade, Seth Rogen, Tracee Ellis Ross and Keke Palmer.

“With everything going on in the world, we’re all looking for answers and people to turn to,” Obama said in the release. “My brother Craig and I launched the ‘IMO’ podcast to create a space for people to come as they are, ask honest questions, give their opinions, and have thoughtful conversations about life.”

The Latin supergroup, which consists of the critically acclaimed bands Bomba Estéreo and Rawayana, will embark on a headlining North American tour this summer. The 16-date trek, which kicks off May 24, will include stops in New York City, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston and Las Vegas.

Fronted by singer Liliana “Li” Saumet, Colombian group Bomba Estéreo has been charming audiences with its vibrant electro tropical sound, which combines euphoric dance beats with warm Caribbean rhythms. Bomba’s latest album, 2021’s “Deja,” cracked the top 20 of Billboard’s Latin Pop Albums chart, while the group’s 2022 collaboration with Bad Bunny, “Ojitos Lindos,” resulted in a Latin Grammy nomination for record of the year.

Venezuelan band Rawayana, whose psychedelic alternative-pop fusion is led by singer Alberto “Beto” Montenegro, emerged victorious at the 67th annual Grammy Awards in February when “¿Quién Trae las Cornetas?” won the award for best Latin rock or alternative album.

Netflix’s favorite romantic thriller “You” is back for a fifth and final installment, with a new trailer out Monday.

In it, Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) returns as his same old slasher self. The twistingly haunty preview sees Golberg return to New York City, after his Season 4 stint in London. Living alongside his wife and son, Goldberg has one eye over his shoulder always, paranoid the (literal) skeletons in his closet might soon spill out.

The trailer was teased Sunday by Cardi B, a longtime fan of the show, who Netflix enlisted to watch the preview first and share a reaction with fans. “When I tell you, girl, I am shook,” she said in a YouTube video for Netflix. Badgley and Cardi B previously voiced joint admiration for each other on X and the rapper’s music was used on the show after she jokingly promoted the idea of guest-starring.

The final season promises to be as “killer” as the rest, as Goldberg’s happily ever after is threatened by a sordid past and that stubborn desire to, you know, murder. Season 4 left off with Goldberg’s return to the city with wealthy new partner Kate (Charlotte Ritchie), leaving beside his London alter ego.

The legendary singer’s team took to Instagram Friday to flag fans regarding the artificial intelligence-generated music, calling it the “unsanctioned” use of “Celine Dion’s musical performances, and name and likeness.”

The statement continued: “Please be advised that these recordings are fake and not approved, and are not songs from her official discography.”

It is unclear what prompted the statement to be issued. Dion has released music as recently as 2024 for the soundtrack to her documentary “I Am: Celine Dion,” featuring her biggest hits. In 2023, she released five original songs for the soundtrack of the romantic comedy “Love Again,” her first feature film in which she plays a fictionalized version of herself.

Aside from her official musical comeback at the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony in July, live performances from Dion, 56, have been rare since her diagnosis with stiff person syndrome. Dion first revealed the diagnosis in 2022 as the reason she had to cancel her upcoming world tour dates and Las Vegas residency.

In a release Monday, Amazon Prime Video announced that for the first time, viewers would be able to stream all seven seasons of “The Apprentice.”

The business competition show, which helped to remake President Donald Trump’s reputation in the American imagination throughout the aughts, will be released in spurts with the first season out Monday and the remaining six rolling out weekly.

Premiering in January 2004, the show − a brainchild of reality maven Mark Burnett − quickly became a phenomenon, raking in tens of millions of viewers each episode. The format saw 16 contestants completing various business-related challenges as they vied for a job at the Trump Organization and attempted to dodge the president’s signature catchphrase: “You’re fired.”

Charles hosted an Apple Music broadcast released Monday called “The King’s Music Room,” in which he played a selection of favorite songs and spoke about each one. Charles described this as an “interesting and innovative” way to celebrate Commonwealth Day, as the tracks “originated from across the Commonwealth family and other parts of the world.”

On the show, Charles reflected that music “has that remarkable ability to bring happy memories flooding back from the deepest recesses of our memory” and said he would highlight “songs which have brought me joy.” According to Apple Music, the show was recorded in Charles’ office at Buckingham Palace.

The king’s first pick was “Could You Be Loved” by Bob Marley and the Wailers. Charles noted that he once met Marley, who had a “marvelous, infectious energy,” “deep sincerity” and “profound concern for his community.” He transitioned into “My Boy Lollipop” from another Jamaican singer, Millie Small.

Next up was Kylie Minogue’s “The Loco-Motion,” which Charles described as “music for dancing” that has “that infectious energy” that makes it “incredibly hard to sit still.” Moving back to the 1920s, Charles said Al Bowlly’s “The Very Thought of You” is a tune that his “much-loved grandmother” used to play.
