Hiya!

On today’s show: Louis Tomlinson’s interview on the DOAC might just be the best celebrity interview we’ve ever listened to, Dolly Parton posted a… proof-of-life video but more on that later, and we might have our ‘first egg on us for egging ourselves too early’ situation on our hands, because Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau very much look like a couple!!!! Then, we share some of Diane Keaton’s most iconic quotes after the news of her passing, and finally, why is Travis Kelce signing Taylor Swift’s CDs lol.

This week, Zara recommended Louis Theroux interviewing Ed Sheeran. And here is the link to Louis Tomlinson on The Diary of a CEO.

Hello hello!!

Coming up on today’s show: On her wedding day, Selena Gomez was photographed holding what appears to be a vape. This reignited a social media frenzy that’s been going on among stan circles for years now; what happened to Selena’s friendship with the woman who gave her an organ? Also, if you are the recipient of a loved one’s organ, do you owe them a certain kind of lifestyle? It’s a moral conundrum we’d like to unpack, and it’s not exactly simple. Few things rarely are!!

There’s a development to the Coldplay Concert cheating drama that felt like a fever dream in the middle of the year…

Our review of The Life of a Showgirl Oct 06, 2025

Show notes

Welcome to our review episode of The Life of a Showgirl!!

Is this perhaps the most divisive album of the last few years? Rolling Stone gave it a perfect 5/5, The Guardian a measly 2/5. Oh – and a viral tweet with tens of thousands of likes declared “The Life of a Showgirl is as if Dubai, matcha, pistachio chocolate, Colleen Hoover books, and labubus all had a baby with Al”.

So! What the hell did we make of it? Let’s find out!!!

Thankyou so much to Guzman y Gomez for making this episode of Shameless possible.

Show notes

Hiya!

On today’s show: the billionaire, the psychedelics and the best-selling memoir. Amy Griffin was already incredibly wealthy before her best-selling memoir, The Tell.

Show notes

Hello!

On today’s show: Remember the Try Guys scandal of 2022? Yep, the scandal that TIME Magazine called one of the most viral moments of the year? Well, it’s just been given fresh oxygen: the man at the centre of the cheating fiasco, Ned Fulmer, has sat down with the woman he cheated on (the mother of his children, Ariel Fulmer) to unpack exactly what happened, and how they’d like to very much move on now, please. So, we’re going to walk you through the anatomy of this story, and unpack all of our thoughts about the podcast interview people can’t stop talking about right now.
