Florian Silbereisen: Disappointment for fans! Channel cancels show
He is the jack of all trades, dominates the hit program on German television and makes the seas unsafe as Captain Max Parge on the ZDF “Dream Ship”. His fans simply can’t get enough of Florian Silbereisen, 42. That’s why this message will hit them hard: ARD is reportedly canceling its popular show “The Big Schlager Beach Party” in 2024, as schlagerpuls.de reports. The musical TV festival celebrated its premiere in the amphitheater three years ago and continued to flicker across the screens in the following two years.
The reason will probably not appeal to those who don’t like sports among the pop fans: The decisive factors are, on the one hand, the European Football Championship from June 14th to July 14th in Germany, as well as the Summer Olympics, which will take place from August 26th to 11th in Paris . There is no room in the program for loud-voiced entertainment. But Silbereisen’s followers certainly don’t have to be sad: After the “Schlagerchampions” that have already been broadcast, Florian will create a colorful program at the “Schlagerboom” open air in Kitzbühel on June 7th and 8th. There is also the “Schlagerboom” in Dortmund in October and the “Advent Festival of 100,000 Lights” coming up. Schlager TV without Florian Silbereisen? Inconceivably.
Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht: “I will officially separate from Cheyenne as a family member”
The Ochsenknechts always make headlines about family disputes. It is often Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht, 32, who causes discord. The actor has stopped contact with his relatives. Is the next rift now imminent? In the latest episode of “These Ochsenknechts,” Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht, 34, surprises with a drastic statement: He wants to “officially separate” from his sister Cheyenne as a family member. But how did this statement come about?
The two siblings clash while on vacation. Wilson explains in advance to the camera team accompanying her: “If I’m on vacation with my family for ten days, then I actually need a vacation from vacation.” It quickly becomes clear why. Cheyenne Ochsenknecht, 23, and her husband Nino Sifkovits, 27, want to hit the clubs. The 34-year-old is not very enthusiastic and rather forced to endure the night of partying. The next morning he turns to his mother Natascha Ochsenknecht, 59. “I’ve had enough. All I get is vomiting in the shops,” explains Wilson seriously and adds: “I’m going to go into the pool now and then I’ll get myself officially separate from Cheyenne as a family member.” But viewers and fans can quickly breathe a sigh of relief. Wilson seems to just want to tease his sister. There will be no further rift among the Ochsenknechts (for the time being).

Sarah Engels gives her former self some advice
Sarah Engels, 31, holds a question and answer session on Instagram – and becomes unusually serious. A user wants to know: “Would you ever be like your former self [von] to advise against a decision?” The singer and mother of two has a clear answer: “There are some things that I would have liked to have told or advised my former self. I probably would have advised little Sarah, who was looking for true love, how important it was for her to learn to love herself first and foremost [sic]”.
In her Instagram story there is Sarah Engels thoughtfully.

Engels also publishes a black and white photo in which she looks over her shoulder with a serious expression. The otherwise rather cheerful Sarah leaves it open to what specific experiences she is referring to with this serious answer.
Peter Kloeppel and Ulrike von der Groeben have two successors
When the presenter greats Peter Kloeppel, 66, and Ulrike von der Groeben, 65, say goodbye in August after more than 30 years of RTL career, they will not be replaced by one person each. As RTL announced on Tuesday afternoon, March 19th, the chief presenter and the sports expert on the evening news will be replaced by two moderation duos. “From summer 2024, RTL will rely on two permanent moderation teams for ‘RTL Aktuell’, consisting of Roberta Bieling and Andreas von Thien as well as Christopher Wittich and Anna Fleischhauer. The two teams will then moderate ‘RTL Aktuell’ alternately from Monday to Sunday,” says the press release.

On March 12th, Peter Kloeppel revealed in an interview with “Stern” that he and his long-time colleague would host their last show at the end of August. He will then have more time for his family. Ulrike von der Groeben told RTL: “The decision was very difficult for me, but after almost 40 years at RTL and over 30 of them together with Peter Kloeppel at ‘RTL Aktuell’, it is time to say goodbye.”

Tim Mälzer attacks Anton Schmaus with a tirade of abuse on “Kitchen Impossible”.
Word has long since gotten around among viewers that the cooking show “Kitchen Impossible” is not a format for the overly gentle. Tim Mälzer, 53, in particular, more than lived up to this reputation in the current program. In the show, maltsters and a variety of professional chefs travel around the world and challenge each other with typical local dishes, which then have to be recreated.
This time in Belgium, his show competitor Anton Schmaus, 42, is giving him a task that is – from Mälzer’s point of view – almost impossible and “so stupid”. Because instead of having to cook something, he should try his hand at being a pastry chef and make chocolates. According to Mälzer, this has nothing to do with cooking and so he lets his frustration out. “Anton Schmaus, you’re just sticking three fingers in my asshole and saying: Now smile at that!” the “Kitchen Impossible” star blurts out. After a phone call during which the two chefs were able to agree on a compromise, Mälzer finished the task, but was still not particularly forgiving at the end of the show. Instead of friendly words, Schmaus von Mälzer only gets a finger goodbye. Someone was probably struggling with their task for a long time.
