'Blue's Clues' star Steve Burns to launch adult-focused podcast
Steve Burns, the original star of the beloved children's show "Blue's Clues," is launching a podcast for adults. The former host is collaborating with Lemonada Media on the audio project, dubbed "Alive with Steve Burns." Burns, 51, initially rose to fame while hosting Nickelodeon's "Blue's Clues," a mystery show for preschool-aged kids, from 1996 to 2002. "It could basically be what we've always done," Burns said in a June 25 video announcement. "It used to be about shapes and colors and letters and numbers and vegetables and stuff," he continued. "But now it could really be about death, and sex and taxes and everything that makes it so weird and wonderful to be alive." Steve Burns: Original 'Blue's Clues' host talks about 'abrupt' departure in emotional video The podcast will 'continue what we started decades ago,' Burns says The podcast is expected to launch this fall, according to Lemonada Media. "There are a thousand podcasts you can listen to, this is one that listens back. I really want to continue what we started decades ago," Burns told Variety. "For us, it was all about curious investigation. It was about looking a little closer. About asking the right questions. About following the clues that helped lead us toward greater understanding." Lemonada Media is the home of other podcasts, including Duchess Meghan Markle's "Confessions of a Female Founder" and Lena Waithe's "Legacy Talk." Burns left Blue's Clues to get a higher education In 2021, for the 25th Anniversary of Blue's Clues, Burns revealed why he abruptly left the show and introduced fans to the new host, Joe. 'I just kinda got up and went to college. And that was really challenging by the way, but great because I got to use my mind and take a step at a time and now I literally am doing many of the things that I wanted to do.'

Has Anna Camp finally found a pitch-perfect partner? She's dating Jade Whipkey
Anna Camp is trying something new on the dating front six years after divorcing 'Pitch Perfect' co-star Skylar Astin: She's in a relationship with Jade Whipkey, a writer and a set designer for Lena Waithe's 'Legacy Talk' podcast. The two women actually confirmed their relationship in February in a slightly profane TikTok interview with a man who goes by the name Mr. Big, but the video appears to have passed mostly under the radar until now because neither person named herself. 'You' performer Camp did mention that she was an actor, but Mr. Big didn't follow up. The chat started with a question about their worst dates then segued into Mr. Big asking what the two expect from a guy on a first date. 'Well, I don't expect anything from a guy anymore because I like women, and it's great,' replied Camp, 42. She gestured toward Whipkey, who in turn put her arm around the 'Mindy Project' performer. 'Yeah, same, same. Nothing. Nothing,' Whipkey added. 'I'd rather you, like, not be on the date.' Also on social media, an X user highlighted an early-May Instagram story from Camp's account that featured Whipkey drinking a glass of white wine with the words 'date night' splashed on the photo. So there you have it. Representatives for the actor didn't reply immediately Wednesday to The Times' request for comment. The 'True Blood' actor was previously married to actor Michael Mosley from 2010 to 2013 when she began dating co-star Astin. She was married to Astin from 2016 until 2019 when they split 'amicably.' Fellow 'Pitch Perfect' castmates Ben Platt and Rebel Wilson have also come out publicly about their sexuality. Platt, who came out to his family when he was a tween, publicly announced he was gay in 2019. Wilson fell in love with a 'Disney princess' instead of a prince in 2022; she and Ramona Agruma got married last September.
