Mamamia Out Loud

There are two types of people in this world. The pranksters who live for April Fools' chaos, and the rest of us who'd rather eat glass than endure another workplace whoopee cushion. Which camp are you claiming? Plus, Jessie has some feedback and a theory about April Fools' Day. Also, the very public custody battles with some of the richest, highest-profile, most volatile men in the world. From copyright claims to children appearing in presidential offices, we unpack the high-stakes turmoil surrounding Kanye West and Elon Musk. And kinks are having their moment in pop culture, with The White Lotus season 3 finale coming next week and a confession on Gwyneth Paltrow's latest Goop podcast we have many questions.

On Out Loud today, we examine the gift that's just dropped in the form of an illuminating new profile on Holly's 'close personal friend' Gwyneth Paltrow. We unpack what Gwynnie reveals about being a female mogul/movie star/sex symbol/cultural icon in 2025.  Also, the new Snow White remake with everything – a half a billion dollar budget, feuding co-stars, a hot mess of a press tour – and a casting backlash which feels eerily similar to last year's The Little Mermaid.   Plus, the teeth we can't stop talking about: How The White Lotus actress Aimee Lou Wood has chosen to set herself apart by rejecting the face of the celebrity masses.
