Meghan Markle makes huge announcement on work project as she's 'spread too thin'
Meghan has made a frank admission about the future of her podcast, as she admitted to be being 'spread too thin' between her reality TV show and her lifestyle brand
Meghan Markle has made a huge announcement about the future of her podcast after admitting she has been "spread too thin" with her various projects.
The Duchess of Sussex made the frank admission during a candid chat with Emma Grede on her Aspire podcast.
Meghan revealed that her own podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, would not be coming back for a second season anytime soon, as she focuses more on her lifestyle brand As Ever.
She first penned the deal with Lemonada Media in 2024 for her podcast, which debuted in April, with 12 episodes airing in a matter of months.
Meghan acknowledged "that there is so much excitement and desire for another season" of the podcast, but added, "I need to focus on my business. People seem to forget that very rarely do people see everything that's happening behind the scenes."
The podcast launched at the same time that Meghan's lifestyle brand As Ever announced its first product drop, which Meghan said "was perfect synergy".
She reflected on the busy time in her life as she juggled her multiple businesses, saying: "As I knew I was in this building phase of my business, what an amazing opportunity to pull back the curtain and let people see what's happening at the start, when all the twists and turns are there.
"For me to have the opportunity to talk to so many female founders who've been on that full trajectory—that are on the other side of success, but still at certain chapters in their career and their growth—but to be able to be really candid and vulnerable personally about my learns and stumbles along the way and then to take everyone's advice—and mine included."
In addition to Meghan's podcast and lifestyle brand, she is also working on a second season of her Netflix show - With Love, Meghan - which is expected to premiere later this year.
Joking with podcast host Emma Grede, Meghan said: "At a certain point, the only thing I want spread thin is my jam."
The announcement about the future of the podcast comes just days after Meghan revealed that new products are coming to her brand As Ever, as she teased a new collection on the business page's Instagram.
In a cryptic Instagram post, Meghan said that a range of "delicious surprises" will be in store for her second brand launch, writing on Instagram: "Oh yes, honey…sweet things await. We're bringing back your favorites, plus some delicious surprises you won't want to miss!" Fans won't have to wait long to get their hands on the new range, with Meghan telling her followers to "mark your calendars" for June 20 at 8am PT (4pm UK time).
Along with the caption, Meghan added a picture of a stack of pancakes, topped with sweet raspberries and a generous drizzle of honey. The picture has many speculating that Meghan's delicious honey will once again be for sale, along with her famous jams.
In a newsletter to fans, she said: "First off, a sincere thank you for making the debut of As ever absolutely extraordinary. We had a feeling there would be excitement, but to see everything sell out in less than an hour was an amazing surprise.
"We are pleased to share that on June 20th, we're going live with the products you love – plus, some new delicious surprises," adding that "so much love has gone into this".

'Kisses yes, Bezos No,' protesters say, as Bezos wedding bonanza divides Venice
VENICE, Italy — Hundreds of protesters marched through Venice's central streets on Saturday to say 'No' to billionaire Jeff Bezos, his bride and their much-anticipated wedding extravaganza, which reached its third and final day amid celebrity-crowded parties and the outcries of tired residents. On Friday, the world's fourth-richest man and his bride Lauren Sanchez Bezos tied the knot during a private ceremony with around 200 celebrity guests on the secluded island of San Giorgio. The wedding, however, divided Venice, with some activists protesting it as an exploitation of the city by the billionaire Bezos, while ordinary residents suffer from overtourism, high housing costs and the constant threat of climate-induced flooding. As the two newlyweds prepared for the final party on Saturday evening, hundreds of Venetians and protesters from across Italy filled Venice's tiny streets with colorful banners reading 'Kisses Yes, Bezos No' and 'No Bezos, no War.' The demonstration contrasted with the expensive wedding bonanza, seen by critics as an affront to the lagoon city's fragile environment and its citizens, overwhelmed by throngs of tourists. 'We are here to continue ruining the plans of these rich people, who accumulate money by exploiting many other people … while the conditions of this city remain precarious,' said Martina Vergnano, one of the demonstrators. The protest organizers had welcomed news that Saturday's wedding party, to be initially held on in central Venice, was later moved to a former medieval shipyard, the Arsenale, amid high security. Bezos donated 1 million euros ($1.17 million) each to three environmental research organizations working to preserve Venice, according to Corila, the Venetian environmental research association. But many protesters saw the move as a clear example of 'greenwashing.' 'We want a free Venice, which is finally dedicated to its citizens. … Those donations are just a misery and only aimed at clearing Bezos' conscience,' said Flavio Cogo, a Venetian activist who joined Saturday's protest. Details of the exclusive wedding ceremony Friday night were a closely guarded secret, until Sánchez Bezos posted to Instagram a photo of herself beaming in a white gown as she stood alongside a tuxedo-clad Bezos. Athletes, celebrities, influencers and business leaders converged to revel in extravagance that was as much a testament to the couple's love as to their extraordinary wealth. The star-studded guest list included Oprah Winfrey and NFL great Tom Brady, along with Hollywood stars Leonardo Di Caprio and Orlando Bloom, tech entrepreneur and philanthropist Bill Gates and top socialites, including the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, and their three children also joined the celebrations. The bride and groom stayed at the Aman Venice hotel on the Grand Canal, where Bezos posed for photos and Sanchez Bezos blew kisses to the press. 'The planet is burning but don't worry, here's the list of the 27 dresses of Lauren Sánchez,' read one protest slogan, a reference to the bride's reported wedding weekend wardrobe. It featured a mermaid-lined wedding gown by Dolce & Gabbana and other Dolce Vita-inspired looks by Italian designers, including Schiaparelli and Bottega Veneta. The city administration has strongly defended the nuptials as in keeping with Venice's tradition as an open city that has welcomed popes, emperors and ordinary visitors alike for centuries.

Justin Bieber grosses out fans with hairy nipple close-up in bizarre post after changing Instagram name
Justin Bieber 's bizarre Instagram streak continues—this time with a close-up photo of one of his nipples. In the pic, tattoos circle the nipple, with several dark hairs sprouting from the areola. He captioned it using six blond man emojis standing in a row, as one fan reacted, 'This post aint clocking dawg,' while another simply wrote, 'Go to therapy.' Just last week, the Peaches singer, 31, posted a photo of his other nipple on his newly renamed Instagram account. Recently, he's also shared extreme close-ups of his ears, nose, and entire face—each accompanied by cryptic, emoji-filled captions. The husband of Hailey Bieber, 28, also changed his Instagram handle from his given name to lilbieber. Justin has been sharing a lot to his Instagram lately with the focus not on extreme close ups of his body parts, but rather on the son he and Hailey share. The couple welcomed Jack Blues Bieber, 10 months, in late August 2024. Photos shared to Justin's account, showed the model holding their son, pickleball paddles, and walking near a golf cart. While the former child star has been frantically posting a barrage of online content in recent weeks, it's been reported that the Biebers' marriage is under a lot of stress. 'Justin's been a hard person to deal with recently because of what he's going through,' a source dished to Us Weekly earlier this week. 'It's been really hard on her.' The person added: 'Family issues have clouded her success.' Hailey recently sold Rhode Beauty to e.l.f. for $1 billion and will remain with Rhode as chief creative officer and strategic advisor to E.l.f. Beauty. But according to the Instagram pictures, which Bieber spread out through multiple posts, the spouses are sticking together. The husband of Hailey Bieber, 28, changed his Instagram handle from his given name to lilbieber 'Justin's going through a difficult time, and Hailey is giving him room to get himself back on track. 'He's doing his best, but it's tough,' a second source told the outlet. The second insider claimed the pair have been enduring more 'ups and downs' than usual and 'things have been very tense in the last month.' 'Hailey's worried about Justin, especially with a [baby at home]. He hasn't been down like this in quite some time, so there's concern,' it was revealed. As Justin continues to spark concern online over his bizarre social media posts, Hailey is said to feel frustrated over his 'loose cannon' antics. But, ultimately, the person close to the couple said: 'She knows that's part of the industry and who she's married to.' 'They don't talk about divorce,' the first source insisted. The second insider confirmed the odds of them calling it quits 'are very slim, especially because of their faith.' 'Faith is a big part of their life,' the source said. 'They believe they are soulmates and meant for each other.' 'They'll do anything to make it work,' the second source emphasized. 'They are going to get through it.' Bieber and the former Hailey Baldwin dated briefly form December 2015 to January 2016 before reuniting in 2018 and marrying soon after in November. The pop star and the beauty mogul had an official ceremony in Bluffton, South Carolina, on September 30, 2019.
