The Kate And William Story The Crown Will Never Let You See
The ghost of Princess Diana is haunting the latest season of Netflix’s The Crown. But is it about time to let the memory of the people’s princess lay to rest? We’ve got thoughts. Plus with part two of the final season around the corner, how conservatively will they play the Wills & Kate storyline? Or will their actual love story make it to our screens?

The Most Hated Girl In Hollywood
With the opening of her latest movie (a prequel to the Hunger Games franchise) Rachel Zegler is back in the news cycle, and as expected, back under fire. We’ve covered Zegler previously on this podcast, after the internet tore her a new one for comments she made about her previous film roles. But Jacob Elordi has made recent comments along a similar line and he wasn’t fed to the wolves, so why was Rachel? We’re looking into her storied, albeit short, career and where she ‘went wrong’.

Kim Kardashian's Men Of The Year Award Is More Surprising Than You Think
Is being Men Of The Year a woman’s job? Someone check on the men because real life woman Kim Kardashian is on the cover of GQ’s Men Of The Year issue.

The ARIA Awards ‘Feud’ You Didn't See on TV
The Australian music night of nights has just taken place. The ARIA’s celebrate the biggest and brightest in Aus music… but they’re also known as being one of the more chaotic awards shows. Let’s unpack some of the more notable moments from last night’s events and weigh in on the conversation that always pops up this time of year… are the ARIA’s still relevant?

Chelsea’s Leonardo DiCaprio Story Should Get Her Cancelled
In the plot twist of 2023, today we’re coming to the defence of Leonardo DiCaprio. Before the angry mob assembles, we feel Leo, and many other celebrities, have been reduced to less than their ‘married with kids’ counterparts. And we’re not standing for it… even if it means we have to excuse his birthday party shenanigans from last weekend (don’t worry we’ll explain).

The Australian Influencers Who Just Ruined Reality TV
We’ve been crunching the numbers for Aussie reality tv shows and something doesn’t add up. Now, we don’t want to point the finger (okay, maybe we do) but we think influencers might be to blame. On today’s show we’re investigating why some of our most beloved reality shows (think The Bachelor & Big Brother) are tanking, and ask the hard question… does reality tv have an integrity issue?

The Real Reason Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Put On A Show This Weekend
Karma is a guy on the Chiefs… Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have sent fans into overdrive during night two of her Era’s tour in Argentina. While the world is devoid of fictional rom coms we’ve been hyper focused on the Swelce love story. And our resident Swiftie almanac, Chelsea McLaughlin, has a theory why.

This Jennifer Lopez Backlash Has Been A Long Time Coming
We all know beauty is about what's on the inside, but it seems like someone forgot to inform the media. While we’re not a beauty podcast, we do have something to say about both Pamela Anderson and Jennifer Lopez going makeup free and the very different reactions they've received from doing so. So why was one woman praised and the other shunned? We have a theory… Plus we’re heading to the big screen for some Weekend Watch. THE END BITS Subscribe to MamamiaGET IN TOUCH: Feedback?

The Conspiracy Theory Behind Our New Sexiest Man Of The Year
The wait is finally over… People Magazine has crowned its Sexiest Man Alive for 2023, and we have notes. Now we’d never base someone’s sexiness purely off their looks, the concept of being ‘sexy’ has so many different touch points (like, who has a movie to promote at the moment?) So where does 2023's sexiest man stack up against the rest? THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia Read Laura's full article hereGET IN TOUCH: Feedback? We’re listening.

It Just Became A Bad Day To Be Austin Butler
You might be asking yourself what do Elvis, Eminem and Lilo & Stitch have in common? The correct (and only) answer is Jacob Elordi. The Aussie actor has been giving off big himbo energy (think Nate from Gossip Girl) while promoting the new film, Priscilla. Yes, this is a flick focused on Elvis’ wife Priscilla, but Jacob (who’s cast as the king of Rock ’n’ Roll) is the one whose stolen our attention. We’ve seen the rise of himbos in 2023 and tbh, they can stay. THE END BITS Subscribe to MamamiaGET IN TOUCH: Feedback? We’re listening.
