Mindy Kaling Finally Addresses Her Infamous Love Story & Why People Think Miles Teller Is A D*ck May 21, 2026

Show notes

Emily Henry was forced to break her silence on the "Not My Gus" casting backlash for Beach Read—and the careful way she refused to defend Patrick Schwarzenegger is telling us everything.
Meanwhile, Miles Teller dropped a bomb at Cannes about why he refuses to do any written magazine profiles ever again, and it all traces back to a 2015 Esquire hit piece that called him "kind of a dick". We're unpacking the full context of that profile, how it defined his entire early career, and whether the writer deserves a redemption arc. Here is the horrendously awkward profile piece he is referencing.
Then, we're diving deep into Mindy Kaling's jaw-dropping Bustle profile—because the real story isn't what she said, it's what those framed photos on her desk are telling us. Three photos of her kids, plus one strategic selfie with BJ Novak. Plus, we're breaking down her thoughts on motherhood, her weight loss, and whether she's made peace with her fairytale not looking like the rom-coms she grew up obsessing over. Here is Mindy's profile

The world’s biggest pop star and her athlete beau just stepped out for a friend's wedding in New York, triggering an absolute frenzy of online theories. Fans are obsessively decoding a secret Old Hollywood tribute hidden in her glamorous look, with we give all the evidence as to why we are convinced that her own massive walk down the aisle is happening much sooner than you think.

See the trailer here.

The Harry Styles Backlash Has Started Plus All The Fashion & Scandals From The Cannes Red Carpet May 18, 2026

Show notes

Harry Styles has kicked off his highly anticipated stadium tour in Europe, but opening night has left fans incredibly divided. We unpack the massive outrage surrounding expensive floor tickets that left concertgoers with a completely blocked view of the stage, alongside the frantic online theories trying to identify a mysterious woman's voice featured on his opening track. Laura is now OBSESSED with Carla.
Meanwhile, absolute chaos is unfolding on the Cannes red carpet. From a legendary actor debuting a wildly unhinged accessory (that people mistook for an AI generation) to the mortification of being left unanswered by Scarlett Johansson, we are dissecting all the wildest antics. Plus, we look at the explosive industry divide as some creators embrace artificial intelligence while iconic directors fight to preserve human artistry.
Finally, a viral social media video has all but confirmed the shock split between Hollywood's ultimate celebrity dater and his model ex-girlfriend. We dive into the exhausted mother's raw response to paparazzi criticism, the public statements released by management to control the fallout, and the blatant double standards surrounding how the industry penalises mothers while giving famous fathers a total free pass.

Weekend Watch: The Steamy Hockey Series Everyone’s Obsessed With & Rivals is Back And Better Than Ever May 14, 2026

Show notes

We kick off with the new hockey romance that has everyone on social media obsessed, following a group of elite athletes and the girls who keep them on their toes. It's the perfect mix of 'opposites-attract' (one of Laura’s favourite troupes) and steamy college drama that we reckon will become a new fave.
Next, we explore the cutthroat rivalries of the 80s media landscape in a brand new series of Rivals. Think big hair, bigger egos, and even bigger scandals. Find out why everyone is loving season two.
Plus, we’re unpacking the most-talked-about new pop-star thriller which features two powerhouse actresses in a story about fame, fashion, and an unexpected haunting. It's dreamlike, dark, and unlike anything else you'll see this year.
