'Thanks for Taking Accountability' – Kim Kardashian to ChatGPT, see why
On June 18, Kim Kardashian shared a text conversation between her and the AI chatbot via her social media stories. The well-known star said at the start of the chat, 'Thanks for taking accountability. That's huge in my book.' The OpenAI-developed programme, ChatGPT, which uses human interaction to generate responses, copied the gratitude for receptiveness. Reply of the AI After she expressed how grateful she is that the AI has taken accountability, it gave a genuine response, being, 'I really appreciate you saying that. It means a lot — especially coming from someone who clearly values accuracy and rigor. I'll keep raising my game to meet your standards. If there's ever any doubt or if you want a deeper dive on anything, l'm here for it,' Kardashian once again thanked ChatGPT, with the app letting her know that she could count on it 'anytime. ' Khloé Kardashian credited Kim She credited Kim for being the one who pushed her to see a therapist. In fact, the siblings share the same one. During an episode of Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast on May 5, the Good American co-founder revealed she didn't feel "comfortable talking to anybody' until Kim came up with a solution. Khloe said, "Kim has had her own crazy things that she's not very trusting with either. So, for her to trust [them], I was like, 'OK. I think I'm a little safe here'" Further, she revealed that it was around two years ago, when Kim started seeing a therapist that she 'really, really liked' that she suggested that Khloé should also give it a try. 'I also think because of her relationship with Kim, she felt like more of a friend as opposed to this traditional therapist,' she told Shetty. Her journey of law school programme She shared her six-year journey of the programme in a social media post, writing, 'Six years ago, I embarked on an unconventional path to pursue my dream of becoming a lawyer,' adding, 'It wasn't easy, and it took longer than planned, but I never gave up. Each course brought moments of doubt, tears, and triumph - especially when I conquered subjects I initially feared.' She continued it by writing, 'That's the beauty of life: you step into the unknown, push through, and emerge with knowledge and strength no one can take away. '

Why Lizzo refuses to reveal how much weight she's lost following rumors that she shed as much as 500lbs
Lizzo has opened up about her drastic weight loss and shared the real reason she believes that she was criticized for being curvy. During an appearance on The Jason Lee Show, the 37-year-old refused to reveal the exact number of pounds she lost, but did claim that she was bullied for her curves due to her confidence as a plus-sized woman. 'I think it was crazy to people because I was fat,' she stated. 'The shocking factor was that people couldn't believe that someone that looked like me was confident,' she said. Host Jason Lee responded, 'you were cute when you were bigger', before Lizzo fired back, 'I was fine as f**k!' When pressed to reveal exactly how much weight loss she's lost on her journey, the singer cagily responded, 'If I say the number, I don't think people could do the math.' She continued, 'I've just seen a lot of TikToks where it's like, "Lizzo talks about her 500lbs weight loss!" Why are y'all putting numbers on me? It kind of annoys me.' In January, the singer - who has denied using Ozempic - proudly announced that she had achieved her weight loss goal. On Instagram at the time, she shared: 'I did it. Today when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal. 'I haven't seen this number since 2014! Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!' And during an episode of the On Purpose With Jay Shetty podcast, Lizzo explained how she uses the term 'weight release' instead of weight loss. She credited her boyfriend Myke Wright and explained, 'My man, he's so funny. He was the one that brought it to my attention at first. Because at first I was like, "Oh my gosh I lost five pounds" and he was like, "Where did it go?" 'I was mad at him, I was like, "Why would he say that?" but he was like, "Where did it go?"' The Good As Hell hitmaker further explained that she did not want to 'lose anything' but instead wanted to 'win.' Lizzo expressed, 'I want to be very intentional about the words that come out of my mouth because there's young people who are watching me and they're experiencing what I'm putting into the world. 'They're applying it to their own experience and their own life just like I did when I was a kid.' The star then got candid about 'how the media treated people who gained and lost weight' had an effect on her 'brain chemistry'. 'Be careful with your words because it can affect somebody in ways you don't even know,' she warned. The performer added, 'Even me releasing the weight has affected people and I take that seriously. I take that responsibility. 'And because of that I want to transmute it into something that makes people feel comfortable and less afraid of it.' During an interview with the New York Times last year in March, Lizzo told the outlet, 'I've been methodical, losing weight very slowly. In regards to shedding weight, Lizzo admitted, 'I don't really see it because if anyone who's on a natural weight-loss journey knows, losing weight is actually the slowest thing in the world and you don't really notice it until you notice it.'

Joe Jonas describes post-divorce relationship with ex-wife Sophie Turner as ‘beautiful co-parenting' experience
Joe Jonas has described his post-divorce relationship with ex-wife Sophie Turner as a 'beautiful co-parenting' experience. Offering rare insight into how the pair are raising their children together the 35-year-old singer made the remarks during a live appearance on Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast tour, where he spoke about their two daughters, Willa, aged four, and Delphine, two. He said in a TikTok clip from the event: 'Having an incredible mum, Sophie, for those girls is like a dream come true. 'As young girls, looking up to great women is what I want for them. I think what values I want for them are to be open-minded and have a big heart.' Joe added he hopes Willa and Delphine 'be able to walk into any room and feel confidence and know that they can do literally anything they want.' Joe and Sophie, 29, began dating in 2016 and became engaged the following year. They married in 2019 before welcoming Willa in 2020 and Delphine in 2022. Their separation was announced in 2023 after four years of marriage. The couple's break-up then became publicly contentious when Sophie filed a lawsuit claiming that Joe had 'wrongfully removed' their children from England. A spokesperson for Joe described the legal filing at the time as a 'serious abuse' of the legal system. Despite the conflict, the couple reached a temporary agreement through mediation in October 2023, vowing to resolve their separation privately. But in March 2024, Sophie reactivated divorce proceedings and their split was finalised in September 2024. Joe has since been romantically linked to 33-year-old model Stormi Bree and 28-year-old actor Laila Abdallah. Speaking on a TalkShopLive stream earlier this year, he described dating again as 'scary and intimidating'. Sophie, meanwhile, was reportedly in a relationship with 29-year-old aristocrat Peregrine Pearson. The pair were last seen together earlier this year, but speculation about a split emerged in April. Sophie recently appeared to show public support for Joe's new solo project, 'Music for People Who Believe in Love', by posting a message of encouragement on Instagram. 'Go go @joejonas,' she wrote in a caption, alongside a link to the album.

Jay Shetty Delivers Rousing Princeton Class Day Speech: 'Find Meaning in What You Do'
On May 26 Jay Shetty visited Princeton University and delivered a passionate speech encouraging students to find their purpose in life Shetty was also granted an honorary class membership alongside four Princeton staff members "Live a life that would make your younger self proud and your older self grateful," he said onstageJay Shetty is passing on words of wisdom to the Class of 2025. One day before Princeton University held its 278th commencement ceremony, the podcaster and author visited the Ivy League to deliver a speech at the college's annual Class Day ceremony. Following an awards presentation honoring student achievements and leadership, class officers granted honorary class memberships to Shetty and four Princeton staff members, according to a press release. The Think Like a Monk author closed out the event by encouraging his audience to harness their passions and focus on the work. "Because the world rewards what's impressive, you'll feel pressured to prove you're doing well before you've even figured out what that means for you," said Shetty onstage. "The world will push you to perform success. But if there's one message I want you to walk away with today, it's this: You have to disappear." The former monk also gave specific advice on how to hone in on what's important in life. "Focus on what it gives you: stability for the people you love, structure while you build something else, a chance to bring you into the role," he said. While underscoring that "people will misunderstand you no matter what you do," Shetty urged the students to tune out the noise. "You might as well do something you love. Live a life that would make your younger self proud and your older self grateful," he said. "Even if it confuses everyone in between." Shetty is currently on the road for his 15-city On Purpose Live Tour, during which he interviews surprise celebrity guests in front of a live audience. "I'm so grateful that people listen every week. I'm so thankful that people are so connected to the message and the fact that we get to share that energy in person," he previously told PEOPLE. "The fact that people are feeling so moved listening in their headphones... the energy in the room is going to be incredible." Read the original article on People
