This week, Sean Evans, a well-known American YouTube personality, will engage in a conversation with Louis Theroux, primarily focusing on his hit show "Hot Ones" and exploring whether he would invite Kanye West as a guest on the program. This highly anticipated interview promises an in-depth look behind the scenes of "Hot Ones."

Besides this interview, there are many other exciting events to look forward to this week. Game enthusiasts will celebrate "Pokémon Day" and the release of "Monster Hunter Wilds." Furthermore, Pamela Anderson's new film, "The Last Showgirl," is set to premiere, and Blackpink member Lisa will release her debut solo album. This week is packed with highlights and excitement.

Sean Evans is widely recognized for his YouTube show "Hot Ones," which is famous for interviewing guests while they sample increasingly spicy chicken wings. This Tuesday, he will appear as a guest on Louis Theroux's podcast, switching roles in a highly anticipated exchange. They are expected to discuss the art of interviewing, the evolution of Sean's career, and the most memorable moments from "Hot Ones," including the viral segments with DJ Khaled and Conan O'Brien. Additionally, they will discuss Sean's acquisition of the "Hot Ones" brand from Buzzfeed, and Louis will inquire about his consideration of inviting Kanye West onto the show.

For gaming enthusiasts, this week can be considered "Monster" week. First up is "Pokémon Day," where fans will have the opportunity to get a glimpse into the future direction of the series for the coming year. We will be closely watching for the latest news on "Pokémon Legends Z-A," the upcoming game for the Nintendo Switch that was showcased at last year's "Pokémon Presents." At the same time, we also hope to learn more about the plans for "Eevee Year" (2025). Following closely behind, "Monster Hunter Wilds," developed by Capcom, will be officially released this Friday, launching on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox platforms. This game was initially popular in Japan and has gained significant global success in recent years. Players will return to the "forbidden lands," with the mission of hunting monsters that are constantly growing in size and power.

Pamela Anderson is making a return to the public eye. The 90s actress, who rose to fame with "Baywatch," now stars in the film "The Last Showgirl." The film tells the story of a woman who, after her show ends abruptly after 30 years, must plan for her future. It's a film about second chances, and many critics see it as a "comeback" for the 57-year-old Pamela herself. Pamela herself believes that this is just a new chapter in her life, and everything in the past was "boot camp and learning experiences." She has always been fascinated by the performing arts, but simply did not have the opportunity to incorporate what she yearned for into it. The film will be released in UK cinemas this Friday.

Blackpink member Lisa has been in the spotlight recently. Not only is she making her debut as a significant actress in the third season of the hit HBO series "The White Lotus," which is set in her native Thailand and tells the stories of wealthy vacationers. In addition, Lisa will release her debut solo album, "Alter Ego," this Friday, independent of her girl group. The album includes the single "Moonlit Floor," which interpolates Sixpence None the Richer's classic song "Kiss Me," as well as collaborations with Spanish star Rosalía on "New Woman" and the hip-hop track "Rockstar."

In addition, there are other highlights to watch out for this week: the longlist for the International Booker Prize will be announced on Tuesday; Banks' new album "Off With Her Head" and Everything is Recorded's new album "Temporary" will be released on Friday; The Brit Awards will be held on Saturday; and The Oscars will be held on Sunday.
