The Julia Fox & Kanye West Relationship Was Worse Than We Thought
We’ve been waiting patiently for Julia Fox’s new memoir ‘Down The Drain’, and now that excerpts from the book have been released, we know this is going to be good. Yes…she finally spills the beans on her fling with Kanye “the artist” West, confirming what we already thought about the rapper's treatment of the women he dates. Plus, we unpack the many signs that their short-lived relationship was just a publicity stunt orchestrated by Kanye. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback? We’re listening.

Why Olivia Wilde Had To Be The Butt Of The Taylor Swift Joke
Olivia Wilde is getting slammed online over a tweet she shared about Taylor Swift. On the surface it seemed like a fairly innocent thing to share, but the Swifties are digging deeper and think they've found something more sinister at play. But the question is did Olivia actually intend to stir up bad blood? Or are people just primed to see her as a vilian? PLUS its official Big Brother is coming back to Australia… but has it rebranded as a thinly veiled dating show? THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback? We’re listening.

The Victoria & David Beckham Cheating Scandal Is Stranger Than You Remember
This week Netflix released a new four-part documentary about David Beckham, going deep on career, as well as his decades long relationship with Victoria and the cheating allegations that plagued their marriage in the early years. It's the first time the couple have spoken openly about the scandal, so today we discuss what happened back in 2004 and what they're saying about it now. But is it just a documentary or is there more at play here? We think a Kardashian-worthy PR campaign might be what's really fuelling the Beckham's success...

Is This The Kardashian's Worst Moment?
ICYMI (unlikely) the latest episode of The Kardashians featured an award winning blow out between Kourtney and Kim. Whilst Chelsea flocks to this drama like a moth, Laura thinks this could be just about the worst display of Kardashian behaviour.

The Taylor Swift Story Just Went Too Far
On the show today it’s been another weekend filled with stories about Taylor Swift falling very publicly in love with a sporting man we’re told goes by the name of Travis Kelce. From the celebrity entourage that accompanied her to the football game (has anyone checked on Hugh Jackman?) to a story of lip readers, a battle over condiments, and a strange story about the Empire State Building of all places, this is a new celebrity narrative we really need to dissect. Plus, there’s a secondary, and quite ugly, conversation about Taylor and Travis starting to brew, and this time we have to pick a side. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback?

The Worst Thing Katy Perry Ever Did
On the show today… Katy Perry is making headlines for suing a dying war veteran over a million-dollar property, but unfortunately for her this is not the only time she’s seemingly got into a very public legal battle with someone less powerful than her. From a small Australian business owner to a group of very distressed nuns, we need to dissect exactly why Katy Perry has made a second career out of going after people less fortunate than her. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! This week we have a sexy new dramedy and a trashy new season of a reality series to recommend to you. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback?

Angelina Jolie & The One Thing Famous Women Aren’t Supposed To Say
Angelina Jolie is Vogue's latest cover star, sitting down with the magazine for an interview where she talks about everything from her latest business ventures, to being a single mum and her relationship with her children now that they’re grown. But there's one quote in the profile that really piqued our interest. She's said the one thing you’re not supposed to say as a famous woman. And the public reaction (or lack of reaction) is something we need to discuss. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback? We’re listening.
