No One Will Talk About Reality TV’s Worst Moment
Have we reckoned with what it means to make reality tv? If you ask Bravo overlord Andy Cohen, there's no need to. We’ve just seen BravoCon (yes, a convention dedicated to celebrating Bravo TV shows and ‘Bravolebrities’ alike) hit the Vegas strip with some interesting show-related revelations. Meanwhile former reality star Bethenny Frankel has been working away on her crusade to expose the network… but has her ‘reality reckoning’ really rocked Bravo?

The Celebrity Child We Love To Hate
North West, yep the first born of Kimye (RIP), has given her first solo interview… and boy there’s a lot going on. Her interview responses are iconic, but how much stock should we be putting into what these kids say? Should we be idolising celebrity children? That’s up for discussion in today’s episode.

What Sophie Turner's Really Saying With Those New Photos
Over the last 24hrs the internet has been buzzing with the news that Sophie Turner was spotted kissing a new man (who has four names for some high society reason we don't understand).

The Fashion Debut Kylie Jenner Wants Us To Forget
You've probably heard us say (many times) that we're not a fashion podcast, but today we had to relax that rule because Kylie Jenner’s about to release a brand new label and we smell something suspicious... ‘Khy’ is being called the youngest Kar-Jenner's ‘debut’ into the fashion world, but is it really a debut? We look back on the ghost of Jenner’s fashion past (did someone say Kylie Swim?), plus some alleged copycatting that's going on here… we’re on the case.

Even Britney & Mariah Couldn't Save These Movies...
In honour of Britney Spears’ Book Week (we’re working on making it a public holiday) we’re looking at her time on screen, namely her 2002 film Crossroads. We can safely file this film under ‘pop star cinema flops’ and as it turns out, there’s actually quite a few. They’re all up for discussion today. In addition to our music/film flop hybrid investigation we’ve got some brand new t.v shows to recommend you too. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback? We’re listening.

What Britney Spears’ Book Didn’t Say
It’s finally here! Happy Britney Spears book release week to all those who celebrate. We’re not going to recap the entire 288 pages (or 5 hours and 31 minutes of audiobook), but we need to touch on some of the biggest revelations from the book, including Britney’s rarely mentioned childhood and just how intensely connected she was to Justin Timberlake. And what about all the stories that didn’t make the pages? We’ve got thoughts, feelings and opinions on why that might be the case. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback?
