Ed Sheeran makes surprising Benny Blanco confession after hygiene uproar
Benny Blanco reopened the hygiene talk during his podcast, in the episode with Ed Sheeran, and his longtime pal debunked the rumours about the lack of cleanliness.
The 38-year-old music producer asked Sheeran, 35, if he showers every day in the Tuesday, March 10, episode of Friends Keep Secrets.
The Shape Of You hitmaker replied, “Yeah, sometimes twice a day. Mostly twice a day, actually.”
Sheeran continued, “I feel like I’m like you, though — I look like I don’t smell good. But actually, you’re the best-smelling person I know,” to which Blanco added, “I know, I smell good.”
His friend and the podcast cohost Lil Dicky, and Dicky’s wife Kristin Batalucco also validated Blanco’s claim of smelling good even if he hadn’t showered.
This comes after Blanco’s poor hygiene became a trending topic on social media after he showed his dirty feet in the first episode of his podcast.
Blanco and Dicky later discussed the uproar on Jimmy Kimmel Live, as the host said, “I neglected something important because there is something that turned up as people were watching your multimedia experience. People seem to be fascinated with the idea that Benny’s feet are very dirty.”
“I noticed that too, Jimmy,” Dicky joked, and Blanco came to his defence, saying, “Wait. Wait. First of all, it’s the facility’s fault,” blaming Dicky’s home for the dirt where the podcast is filmed.

Zoë Kravitz flaunts engagement ring amid growing Harry Styles romance
Zoë Kravitz is letting the ring do the talking – and fans definitely heard it loud and clear.
Just days after reports confirmed that the actress and filmmaker is engaged to Harry Styles, Kravitz stepped out in New York City casually flashing what might be one of the year’s most discussed celebrity engagement rings.
Wrapped in a brown suede shearling jacket with an oversized black tote in hand, the High Fidelity star looked effortlessly low-key – except for the massive diamond peeking out from under her sleeve.
And according to jewelry experts? That sparkle is doing serious heavy lifting.
Several experts believe the ring features a radiant or cushion-cut diamond set in yellow gold, estimating the stone could weigh anywhere between five and 10 carats.
Translation: Harry did not exactly shop small. Some estimates place the value north of $600,000.
The engagement confirmation comes after months of increasingly hard-to-ignore sightings. The pair first sparked romance rumours in August 2025 after being photographed walking arm in arm through Rome. Soon after, Deuxmoi claimed the two had been spotted kissing at a London hotspot.
At the time, a source told People magazine the former One Direction star was “spending time with Kravitz while she’s been on her [Caught Stealing] press run.”
Since then, the couple’s been spotted bouncing between London and New York, looking very much like two people building a shared life away from the chaos.
“They seem very serious and focused on prioritizing time together,” a source told the outlet in February.
Another insider added the couple shared the engagement news with only “a small circle,” while Kravitz has happily been showing the ring off to friends.

Palestinian football chief slams Israeli official at Fifa meeting
VANCOUVER: Palestinian football federation President Jibril Rajoub refused to take part in a photo opportunity with Israel soccer official Basim Sheikh Suliman in a tense incident at the end of Fifa’s Congress on Thursday.
After both Rajoub and Suliman had addressed delegates, Fifa President Gianni Infantino invited both men to stand alongside him.
However Rajoub declined the gesture, refusing repeated attempts by Infantino to encourage him to participate in the moment.
At one point Rajoub could be heard to say: “We are suffering.”
The Palestinian Football Association recently appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) over Fifa’s refusal to sanction Israel over football clubs based in the West Bank.
The PFA maintains that clubs based in West Bank settlements should not be allowed to compete in leagues controlled by Israeli football authorities.
In 2024, United Nations experts said at least eight football clubs had been identified as playing in “Israeli colonial settlements” and called on Fifa to “fulfil its responsibility to respect human rights”.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Rajoub called on Fifa to “apply the statutes with fairness, with logic.”
“What’s going on in Palestine is terrible, destroying all the Palestinian sport facilities in Gaza, the killings of hundreds of Palestinian athletes, employees… I think it’s now the time to make justice,” Rajoub said.
“The guy who spoke on behalf of Israel, he did not even pay attention to the suffering, to what’s going on.
“I refused to shake hands. How can I shake hands or have a photo with such a man?”

Britney Spears life update: Popstar out of rehab
Britney Spears has officially checked out of rehab just weeks after seeking treatment following a DUI arrest in March.
The 44-year-old Toxic singer left the facility ahead of a scheduled court hearing in Ventura County on Monday, 4 May.
Spears had entered the undisclosed programme on 12 April, with sources close to the star revealing that her sons, 20-year-old Sean Preston and 19-year-old Jayden, were the ones who ultimately convinced her it was time to get professional help.
The pop star is currently facing one misdemeanor count of driving under the influence after being pulled over near her home on 4 March.
While her arraignment is set for Monday, the Ventura County District Attorney’s office has confirmed that Spears isn’t actually required to be there in person, as her lawyer can attend on her behalf.
Prosecutors have indicated they will likely offer a “wet reckless” plea deal, a common move for first-time offenders with no history of accidents or high alcohol levels.
If she accepts, she would face 12 months of probation, a mandatory DUI class, and various fines.
The DA’s office noted that Spears’ decision to self-motivate and check into rehab is a significant factor in how these cases are handled.
Her representative had previously admitted her actions were “completely inexcusable” and expressed hope that this period of reflection would be the first step toward long-overdue changes in her life.
In the days following her arrest, Britney was seen spending time with friends like Molly Shannon and Diane Warren, but it was the heartfelt intervention from her children that proved to be the turning point.
According to insiders, Britney was initially quite nervous about entering treatment because she finds it difficult to trust outsiders or follow a strict routine.
However, her bond with her sons is reportedly in the best place it has been for years, and she was willing to do whatever it took to avoid jeopardising that relationship.
Sean Preston and Jayden, whom she shares with ex-husband Kevin Federline, had grown increasingly concerned about her behaviour and urged her to get back on track.
With her rehab stint now behind her, the singer appears focused on her recovery as her legal team prepares to navigate the next steps of her DUI case.
