The week has ended, and it's time to delve into the world of the stars again. With confessions, escapades, and even a few cracks in the facade. It's all a mirror of our society, isn't it? So let's dive in, shall we?
Sylvie Meis, a Dutch presenter, takes us into her wildest dreams. She dreams of trying life as a man and experiencing intimate moments with a woman. It's a fascinating thought experiment, somewhere between role-play and fashion, setting the internet算命. Sylvie Meis, sex, and women - it's scorching and not just the internet knows: sex sells.
Celebrity Secrets Sylvie Meis dares to dream: A man for a day, with a woman by her side
Sylvie wants to know what it feels like to be treated like a man, ideally as the male version of herself, decked out in a striking tuxedo. Picture this: the lively, vivacious blonde as a sophisticated gentleman, flirting in a casino, with a seductive gaze and a wink that promises much. It's almost like a scene from a 1970s erotic film, but here, the script is made of curiosity and a hint of rebellion.
Met Gala: More Show than Substance?
While in New York, the 2025 Met Gala made its grand entrance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The theme: "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style". A tribute to the elegance of dandy style as a symbol of black self-assertion and resistance. Lewis Hamilton, Zendaya, Pharrell Williams – the fashion was nothing short of breathtaking. A night of historical references, carefully crafted citations, a spectacle of radiance.

But one can't help but ask if it all doesn't feel a touch outdated. Millions for dresses, security, decoration, and catering. An event where guests tread on narcissus while elsewhere homes crumble under bombs or people struggle to pay their bills. Of course, fashion has its cultural significance. It can be political, exclusive, opulent, and even inaccessible.
But there are always voices that criticize this. Pulitzer Prize-winning culture journalist Robin Givhan wrote in a Washington Post article several years ago about the "aesthetic overload" of such events, which often seem more like sets than substance. They "give the illusion of depth while shying away from actual engagement", Givhan said. So there are always voices that perceive the Met Gala as an extravagant masquerade ball in harsh times - glamorous, yes, but perhaps too excessive.
Patrice, Cancer's Relentless Battle
We're discussing Patrice Aminati here. The wife of TV presenter Daniel Aminati has been battling cancer for several years now. She's at stage four. Malignant melanoma. Metastases in the lungs, palliative treatment, unbearable pain. Yet, there's still hope. Hope for another summer, another birthday for their shared daughter, another snippet of life.

Patrice has decided to share her journey. Not for sympathy, but for awareness. Because cancer isn't a filter on Instagram. Her honesty has touched many people. She recounts stories like how a doctor once told her she'd be "healthy" until Christmas. How she'd spend lonely nights while her husband would worry about waking up to an empty bed. And how she continues to make plans – a renewed wedding, possibly even another child – even if her body won't allow it at the moment. Stories like these give an entirely different perspective.
Meanwhile, Rebecca Mir looked back this week – to the year she fell in love with her dance partner Massimo Sinató during "Let's Dance". He was still married at the time, she had just parted ways. Not an easy situation. But it ignited – slowly, carefully, between countless rehearsals and show nights. Today, they've been together for 13 years, married, and parents to a son.
Romance on the Dance Floor The Love Story That Started at "Let's Dance"
And while the RTL dance floor is already gearing up for the quarterfinals, we can't help but think about the stories that start dancing there. Stories that stay with us for a long time. The Magic Moment from last week serves as the perfect proof. You can relive it on RTL+! Friday is always "Let's Dance" night. It's so much more than just light-hearted entertainment.
Change is in the Air Lilly Becker Decides to Quit Smoking Live on TV on May 31st

Utilizing the so-called Allen-Carr method, three hours of prime-time programming await us! Of course, anyone else who wants to join in is more than welcome!
Couch Therapy Moderators Offer Relationship Advice: Break Up if Your Partner Acts Thus
Even you, dear reader! How about you? What would you let go of if no one were watching? It doesn't have to be nicotine! Perhaps a thought that's haunted you for years. Perhaps a relationship that costs more than it gives. Perhaps a demand you set for yourself that's unattainable. The show is accompanied by coaching, discussions, and we hope, a touch of humor.
This week once again proved: Not everything is what it seems on the surface. Some stories creep into our hearts, others take the stage with a standing ovation. And occasionally, very rarely, both happen. Until next Friday!
