video caption reads: “I have been having some lower back stuff since the baby was born, so I’m really trying to improve my core strength. Especially after having so many children, I really have to focus on my internal muscles.”Baldwin begins the workout by pushing her waist forward multiple times and then moving her hips from side to side.She moves on to the next move hitting an alternating plank and crunches to follow.Baldwin says the routine helps activate her pelvic floor by initiating each movement from inside and thinks of Kegels — simple exercises you can do to treat bladder problems and improve bowel control — to get through the action.A post shared by Celeste Barber (@celestebarber)The mother of seven limited comments underneath her post, but that didn’t stop one comedian from making Baldwin a laughing stock.Australian comedian Celeste Barber stitched Baldwin’s workout video on Instagram impersonating the odd routine and captioned the clip, “We call this workout the Horny Teenager.”The star of Netflix’s “Wellmania,” 41, turns the fitness routine into an X-rated film with 5.1 million views, positioning herself sexually thrusting forward and humping the ground.Nearly 12,000 comments flooded Barber’s hilarious parody video.“Dying,” quipped supermodel Cindy Crawford.“Just spat my spaghetti bolognese all over my phone,” laughed another.

Sweden’s win at this year’s Eurovision means that the country will be hosting the event next year as the 50th anniversary of Abba’s victory at the big old song contest passes. How will Abba themselves mark this occasion? Surely by getting together on the Eurovision stage, right? Think again, says the band’s Benny Andersson.Speaking to BBC Newsnight about another anniversary – the first year of their Abba Voyage show in London – Andersson says in an interview set to air tonight that there is “no way” that the band would reunite for next year’s Eurovision.“I don’t want to”, he says bluntly.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Aki Kaurismäki, the deadpan cockeyed minimalist of Finland, has become the ultimate illustration of the principle that if you make movies in the same mood and style, with the same monosyllabic bombed-out hipster vibe, for a period of 30 years, your movies may not have changed — but the world around them has, so the films will have a totally different effect. In “Fallen Leaves,” the Kaurismäki bauble that’s showing at Cannes this year, there’s actually a scene in which a character uses a computer. The film’s heroine, Ansa (Alma Pöysti), loses her job as a supermarket worker, and to find another gig she rents an HP laptop at a makeshift Internet café that charges 10 Euro for half an hour. Apart from that, the movie unfolds in that scruffy and sparsely decorated so-familiar-it’s-cozy pre-tech Kaurismäki zone, where people still use electric adding machines or listen to a bulky kitchen radio that looks like it’s from the early ’60s. “Fallen Leaves” is set in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, but to our eyes it’s a weirdly underpopulated place where shopping, as a pastime, doesn’t exist, and neither, in any meaningful way, does conversation.

Eurovision 2023 star Käärijä has spoken to NME about crashing the Top 10 singles chart with his entry ‘Cha Cha Cha’ – as well as the response to the competition, future plans and finding fans in the likes of Rammstein.The singer’s track, fusing rap, metal, electronic and schlager music, proved a favourite among Eurovision viewers at the final of the Song Contest last Saturday (May 13) – winning the audience vote and racking up millions of streams online, but ultimately coming second to Sweden’s entry Loreen.Now, ‘Cha Cha Cha’ has landed at Number Six in the UK singles charts – making it the first Finnish language song to ever land in the Top 10.“It feels great – I wasn’t expecting that,” Käärijä told NME. “I’m just a stupid Finnish guy who did something crazy and then it went viral.
