Michelle Obama has revealed that her palate is a little more straightforward than some may assume from a former first lady. Speaking on the first episode of Your Mama’s Kitchen, a podcast hosted by journalist Michele Norris and co-produced by the Obamas’ media company, Higher Ground, Michelle revealed she never really enjoyed eating breakfast. “I was kind of a picky eater,” she said. “I didn’t like any breakfast-anything. And my brother, who ate breakfast all the time, thought I was crazy.” Michelle continued: “We had big breakfasts because my brother, he was a growing athlete. So it was everything — cereal followed by scrambled or fried eggs followed by lots of toast and bacon and link sausage. So breakfast was big.” As a result, she explained that “everybody else in the whole household, on the whole planet, loved breakfast food except for [me] ... I despised breakfast.” Michelle revealed that she became “really stubborn” over her breakfast and decided to choose a different meal. “[I ate] peanut butter and jelly every morning until I went to college,” she said. “That was all I really liked. It was sort of a compromise that I made with my mother because it’s got peanuts, that’s protein, a little bit of oil. “Nothing’s wrong with bread if we’re having toast, why can’t I have it in a sandwich form and jelly? Everybody was having jelly on their toast.” She added that this would form her breakfast “every morning for most of [her] life”. However, nowadays, she is a fan of more wide-ranging breakfast foods. “I’m big into all of it now. Give me eggs benedict. Any eggs, any way,” she added. The admission comes after Michelle reflected on former US President Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day and revealed why she was sobbing after it. During the first episode of Michelle Obama: The Light Podcast, she explained why Trump’s Inauguration Day in 2017 was “so emotional”, as she, Barack, and their daughters, Malia, now 24, and Sasha, now 21, were officially moving out of their house. “We were leaving the home we had been in for eight years, the only home our kids really knew,” she explained. “They remembered Chicago but they had spent more time in the White House than anywhere, so we were saying goodbye to the staff and all the people who helped to raise them.” Read More Barack Obama’s message to people of Hawaii after deadly wildfires Obama’s love letters from 1982 resurface: ‘I make love to men daily, but in the imagination’ Billy Porter says he is ‘back on the market’ after filing for divorce Do it for the Gram: Speedy but spectacular goat’s cheese linguine How to pimp up your instant ramen (and save money) Money-saving chilli con carne that absolutely slaps with flavour

Let’s face it, not everyone’s a Barbie girl in a Barbie world. Some of us are Bratz girls. This is true of myself and some of my fellow R29 editors. A big part of their allure was their attitude and style. While Barbie was a pristine and perfect woman, the Bratz gang was the antithesis — edgy teenagers. As Affiliate Writer and Content Producer Esther Newman puts it, “Barbie is trying to be everything, to everyone, all at once. Whereas the Bratz girls know exactly who they are and what they’re about.”

Max Verstappen will start Sunday’s Singapore Grand Prix from a shock 11th place after Lance Stroll crashed out at 110mph and Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz took pole position. On a wild night at the Marina Bay Circuit, both Red Bull drivers were eliminated in Q2 leaving the world champions facing an enormous task to retain their unbeaten record this season. George Russell qualified second, missing out on pole by just 0.072 seconds with Charles Leclerc third for Ferrari, one place ahead of McLaren’s Lando Norris. Lewis Hamilton finished fifth, half-a-second back. Verstappen was eliminated in Q2 after he bemoaned the handling of the Red Bull machine which has carried him to a record 10 consecutive wins, but has struggled under the bulbs that light up this unique 3.07-mile high-downforce track. Verstappen missed out on Q3 by 0.007 sec, and then took aim at his team over the radio. “I don’t know if you saw that, but it was an absolutely shocking experience,” he said amid of flurry of expletives. Verstappen is also facing three stewards’ investigations for separate incidents of impeding during qualifying. His team-mate Sergio Perez, who spun, also failed to progress to Q3. He will start 13th following a miserable night for the team from Milton Keynes in the city-state. Red Bull’s demise allowed Sainz to capture his second consecutive pole with Russell narrowly missing out. Earlier, Stroll survived a staggering crash. The Canadian driver lost control of his Aston Martin through the final left-hander before he slammed into the barrier. The force of the high-speed impact sent Stroll’s head rocking from side-to-side. He catapulted back across the track with Norris forced to take evasive action – dodging a flying wheel and Stroll’s out-of-control machine. “Is the driver alright?” asked Norris on the radio. “That must have been quite a big one.” Stroll pirouetted to a standstill in the middle of the track before his race engineer Ben Michell came on the radio. “Lance, car is safe,” said Michell. “Are you OK?” Stroll, 24, replied: “Yeah, I am OK.” The Aston Martin driver emerged from his wrecked car unaided before being taken off to the medical centre. Aston Martin confirmed Stroll had been given the all-clear by the on-site medical team and was allowed to return to the paddock. Stroll’s accident brought a premature end to a frenetic conclusion to Q1 and left the marshals with a significant barrier repair job at the final corner, with fluid from his car also on the track. The session was delayed for 34 minutes before Q2 started at 9.53pm local time.
