Bettina Tietjen shares rare photo with daughter Pia
“NDR Talk Show” star Bettina Tietjen, 64, enjoys the “spring evening” with her daughter Pia by the sea. The two of them cuddle up and look towards the evening sun, which colors the light orange-red. Tietjen shares rare private mother-daughter moments on Instagram. Only in exceptional cases does the popular talk show host show photos of her family on social media. “Your daughter looks very similar to you,” says one user.
Her husband Udo, with whom Bettina Tietjen has been married for over 30 years, also made it into the third photo in the picture gallery. The couple also has an adult son called Theo. Tietjen has never appeared on the red carpet with him, but has appeared with her daughter Pia. Bettina and Pia’s last and only red carpet appearance together was more than ten years ago: at the premiere of the musical Phantom of the Opera on November 28, 2013 at the Stage Theater Neue Flora in Hamburg.

After a sensational start, the successful series “Bridgerton” collapses massively
The third season of “Bridgerton” was eagerly awaited by fans. Not surprisingly, the series broke all records right from the start. Penelope Featherington (played by Nicola Coughlan, 37) and Colin Bridgerton (played by Luke Newton, 31) have had the best Netflix series start since the streamer no longer determines its charts by viewing time, but by views (this has been the case since June 2023). And that’s despite the fact that the rankings always count from Monday to Sunday – but “Bridgerton” started its third season on a Thursday and thus only had four days to secure the 45.1 million views from viewers.
Nevertheless, a major setback had to be endured after the second week. The large number of die-hard fans obviously binged all episodes of the first part of the season right at the beginning. It almost seems as if only latecomers are at work now. In any case, the views have plummeted drastically. Instead of the 45.1 million in the first week, the number fell to 25.3 million. This means that “Bridgerton” still secures first place in the Netflix charts, but it has recorded a sharp decline. Especially when you consider that the series had a whole week to earn its views this time.
This is still a high level of complaining – but it is clear that the series is no longer able to reach its record numbers in the second week. But new highs can be expected by June 13th at the latest. That is when the streamer will release the second part of the third season of “Bridgerton”.

Beatrice Egli talks about the death of her grandparents
On Monday evening, May 27, Beatrice Egli, 35, was on stage for the last time as part of her “Volles Risiko” tour. At her final concert in Munich, which “Bunte” attended, the Swiss pop singer was overcome by her emotions as she spoke about a particularly emotional time in her life: two years ago, her beloved grandparents died. “I still remember how I often ran straight to them after school and saw them standing at the door, with open arms and a smile on their faces,” the musician remembers her loved ones. “I feel that the memory of them will always remain in my heart and that I will always feel connected to them because I continue to live the values they gave me.”
The singer’s voice gets quieter and quieter as she says these words; it was noticeable, according to “Bunte”, that she was fighting back tears at that moment.

Sophie Passmann cannot master Kai Pflaume’s challenge
Presenter Kai Pflaume, 57, was to receive a very special birthday present this year – a pull-up from author Sophie Passmann, 30. In the podcast “Sunset Club”, the two, together with Joko Winterscheidt, 45, agreed that Passmann should do a pull-up for the presenter in a live video. The 57-year-old gave her three months to learn how to do it and promised her 5,000 euros per pull-up. But when the time came, Kai Pflaume was disappointed on his birthday. Despite three months of professional training, Sophie Passmann did not manage a single pull-up.
“Kai, I would never joke about it because I know how important sport is to you. But I can’t do more than that. I’m sorry that you all believed in me,” said the author. Even before the challenge, the 30-year-old made no secret of her lack of athleticism and took the whole thing with humor. “Guys, just because you believe in yourself doesn’t mean you can do it,” joked Passmann.
Franca Lehfeldt posts rare picture of sister Fabia
Franca Lehfeldt, 34, is a real horse lover! The reporter regularly shows herself in the stables on social media, and her husband Christian Lindner, 45, also accompanies her from time to time. Now, however, the author reveals that her beloved sister also has a passion for horse riding. The 34-year-old has now posted a special snapshot in her Instagram story. It shows Fabia Lehfeldt sitting on the back of Franca’s horse and trotting along an idyllic path.
“On Sundays, Kendall Jenner trains my horse,” jokes the presenter, links to Fabia and adds a heart emoji. With this, Franca Lehfeldt suggests that her sister has a certain resemblance to the daughter of Kris Jenner, 68, due to her silhouette and long brown hair.
