A celebrated Congolese-Canadian author, Mutonji has built a body of work rooted in truthful, character-driven storytelling about friendship and self-discovery.

She talks about the weight of public perception after Shut Up You’re Pretty became a Canada Reads finalist, why she now guards her privacy and boundaries, her sobriety, her refusal to believe in writer’s block, and her pull toward the unpolished side of human intimacy.

!! OMG, WATCH: Rupert Everett guests on the ‘How To Fail’ podcast on Hollywood rejection, ego and growing older !!

Rupert Everett is the best type of A-list guest. He’s been through the highs and the lows of fame and come out of the other side wiser, stronger, and with no qualms about speaking his mind.

Plus his new book ‘The American No’ was born from failure (a collection of brilliant short stories that were TV and film ideas). We talked about: ‘learning to die’ professionally; his love for fragile but strong women such as Paula Yates (with whom he had a 6-year affair); coming out in Hollywood; Madonna; My Best Friend’s Wedding with Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz; why Oscar Wilde is a Christ figure, how drugs have ruined his brain and using hyper-sexuality as an escape.

!! OMG, WATCH: Sean Evans and Keke Palmer react to their ‘Hot Ones’ flirtatious timeline + possible romance !!

Keke Palmer and Sean Evans react to their flirtmance moments

Forget the hot sauce. The real heat between Keke Palmer and Hot Ones host Sean Evans has been simmering for years — and this week it finally boiled over!

On the May 26th episode of her podcast Baby, This Is Keke Palmer, the actress introduced Evans as her “potential future suitor” before proceeding to deliver what fans are now calling “the most professional flirting ever caught on camera.” Evans responded in kind, spending the episode openly calling Keke “charismatic, smart, and beautiful” — which she clocked immediately as love languages, and at one point casually suggesting they co-host a morning show together when they’re “old New Yorkers.”

The flirtation has roots. Keke appeared on Hot Ones in 2017 and 2021, but it wasn’t until 2023 that Evans admitted he had developed a real crush on her. She made sure to act on that intel when she returned to the show in 2025. Looking him dead in the face, she said:

“I saw an interview where you said I was your favorite guest and all this really sweet stuff. And I know we’ve just had some wings, but I thought that maybe we could just have a quick smooch to see if there’s a spark.”

He didn’t hesitate. After the kiss, Keke declared “the sparks are sparking!” while Sean said:

“When I’m dying and my life flashes before my eyes, I’ll have that snapshot.”

We LOVE this couple (if they are one). Check out their reaction video to their most flirtatious timeline moments together above!
