KATSEYE's Animal Video Drops With Demi Moore Cameo

KATSEYE's new single Animal has finally dropped, and it was worth every second of waiting. The video turns seriously dark and cinematic, exactly as that teaser promised, with the five members owning every scene. The best bit is a surprise cameo from Hollywood icon Demi Moore, who pops up to give the girls some proper fashion advice mid-video, a genuinely fun crossover. It is exactly what fans have been begging for since the first clip leaked out last week. Coming straight off their huge Governors Ball set, this single proves KATSEYE are only getting bigger. Stream Animal now and watch out for Demi's scene, it might just be the best cameo of the year.

Olivia Rodrigo Launches Dreamy Daisy Chain Merch Line

Olivia Rodrigo is going all in on festival season with a brand new merch collection for her upcoming Daisy Chain Fields festival. She has teamed up with Etsy to create a handmade collection, think daisy chains and flower crowns, all ahead of her very first festival taking place this year. It is a lovely nod to classic festival style, and it has already got fans hunting for their own flower crowns to match. The collection ties in perfectly with the dreamy, meadow vibe Olivia has been building around the whole festival. With the lineup and merch both dropping, excitement for Daisy Chain Fields is only growing. If you love flower crowns, keep an eye on Etsy, because this collection looks set to sell out fast.

Sienna Spiro Plays Sweet Charity Concert For Animals

Sienna Spiro just proved she has heart as big as her voice, playing an intimate benefit concert for North Shore Animal League, a charity dedicated to rescuing animals. It was a proper stripped back show, the kind where her incredible soul and style really shine through and fans get to see her up close. This comes hot on the heels of her cover of a Chris Stapleton song for Spotify's Live Room, showing just how much range she has right now. People keep comparing her to Adele and Lana Del Rey, and honestly, she does not mind one bit, she takes it as a massive compliment. With her star power only growing, playing for such a good cause shows exactly why fans adore her. Expect Sienna to keep popping up at more special shows like this one very soon.

Today's Lesson: The Back Walkover

real Poppie words

Warm up first

  1. Warm up your wrists, shoulders, back and legs really well, on a soft mat. Never do this cold.
  2. A back walkover goes backwards, so you can't see where you're going. Always have a grown-up spotting your back, every single time.

What you need first

  1. Get your bridge, bridge kick-over and splits really strong first. A back walkover is a moving bridge, so a comfy bridge is a must.
  2. Practise the bridge kick-over lots. From a bridge, kick one leg up and over and stand up. That's the second half of your walkover.

The back walkover

  1. Stand tall on a soft mat, arms up by your ears. Lift your strong leg out in front, toe pointed.
  2. Reach your arms back over your head and lower into a bridge. Go slowly, with your grown-up holding your back.
  3. When your hands reach the mat, kick your front leg up and over into a handstand.
  4. Let your other leg follow, and stand up tall.

Build it safely

  1. Go slowly every time, with your grown-up spotting, until you can really control it. Even then, always on something soft.
  2. Keep your arms strong and your legs straight, and point those toes. Never rush a back walkover.

Coach's tip: master your bridge kick-over first, and always have a grown-up spotting your back. On something soft! 💜

Recipe 4: Homemade Pizza

real Poppie words

Before you start

  1. Wash your hands.
  2. Get everything out: a pizza base — I like making my own thin crispy one, but a shop-bought base is perfect too — a small tin of passata or tomato sauce, a ball of mozzarella or a bag of grated cheese, and whatever toppings you fancy.

The sauce

  1. Turn the oven on to hot, about 220°C, so it's ready when you are.
  2. Spoon a few spoons of tomato sauce onto the base and spread it round with the back of the spoon, leaving a little gap round the edge for the crust. Don't drown it — a thin layer is best.

Build it

  1. Tear or sprinkle the cheese all over.
  2. Add your toppings, and here's the chef's rule: don't pile on too much or the middle goes soggy. A few good things beat a mountain of everything.

Bake it

  1. Carefully onto a tray and into the hot oven — a grown-up helps with the oven.
  2. About 10 to 12 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and the edges are golden. A thin homemade base cooks faster, so check it a couple of minutes early.
  3. Let it cool for a minute (the cheese is like lava straight out), then slice it up with a pizza cutter or clean scissors.

Chef's tip: less is more with toppings. A soggy middle comes from too much sauce and too much stuff piled on — go easy and the base stays lovely and crisp. 🍕
