Olivia Rodrigo's New Album Could Win Album Of The Year

Olivia Rodrigo has dropped her third album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, and it's already got everyone talking. It's a 13-song concept album that tells the story of a relationship from starry-eyed beginnings to full-blown heartbreak, all in one go. Critics reckon it could be a serious contender for Album of the Year, calling the whole thing a total vibe from start to finish.

KATSEYE's Documentary Wild Hearts Hits Cinemas Worldwide

KATSEYE are heading to the big screen. Their new documentary, Wild Hearts, is getting a worldwide cinema event, giving fans a front row look at the group's whirlwind rise. It's landing right as they gear up for a brand new EP and wrap up a completely sold-out tour, so it's a massive few weeks for the six-piece all at once, with even more excitement clearly still to come.

Sabrina Carpenter Up For Emmy Against Taylor Swift

Sabrina Carpenter is going head to head with her pal Taylor Swift at the Emmys this year, with Lady Gaga also in the mix. All three are up against each other, which means one seriously stacked shortlist and a genuinely tough call for whoever's picking the winner. Whatever happens, it's a brilliant sign of just how big a year music has had on screen.

Today's Lesson: The Handstand

real Poppie words

Start at the wall

  1. Do it near a wall first.
  2. Arms up in the air, by your ears.
  3. One leg in front of you — into a lunge.
  4. Go forward — as your arms come down, your straight leg lifts behind you. You should end up in a T (or a Wonder Woman!).
  5. Keep going down — hands on the ground, and your other leg kicks up until it hits the wall.

Holding it longer

  1. Spread your hands out and kind of dig them into the ground — you'll hold your handstand longer.
  2. Always point your toes.

Then try without the wall

  1. Same thing on the open floor — hands up by your ears, lunge, down into the T, hands on the ground, kick up. Keep practising until it's straight and controlled.

Get stronger — with a helper

  1. Flat-back drill: lie on the ground and push your back into the floor so there are no gaps. A family member or friend tries to slide their hand under your back — if it can't get through, you're doing it right.
  2. Tight-body drill: lie down as if you're in a handstand and stay really tight. Your helper lifts your legs — if you come up in one straight diagonal line, that's right. If your bum stays on the floor… that's wrong!

Coach's tip: always practise on something soft, and warm up first! 💜

Recipe 1: How to Cook a Steak

real Poppie words

Before you start

  1. Wash your hands.
  2. Take your steak out and put it on a chopping board or plate.

Season it

  1. Heat your pan — around medium to high heat.
  2. Salt and pepper — rub it in, massage it a bit — then do the other side.
  3. Put the olive oil on the steak, not on the pan.

Cook it

  1. Steak onto the pan.
  2. One minute on each side — keep flipping until it looks done the way you like it: well done, medium rare, however you like your steak.
  3. Take it off the pan and let it cool for a bit.
  4. Then you can cut your steak up.

Chef's tip: the oil goes on the steak, not the pan — that's how the pros do it. 🍳

Funny Story of the Day 😄

Man Runs Marathon Wearing 125 T-Shirts

An Idaho man decided a marathon wasn't hard enough on its own, so he ran the whole thing wearing 125 T-shirts at once. That's roughly 26.2 miles in what must have been the world's sweatiest, bulkiest outfit.
