The Coldplay affair has united every corner of the internet. But there's more to the story then meets the eye with strangers profiting, fake statements, and AI generated content. Mia's feeling conflicted to say the least, and she needs to talk about it. 

And newsflash: Holly's back from her European Grand Tour—and just in the nick of time. An exclusive look at Gwyneth Paltrow: The Biography has dropped with strange details about her early life and career that our Gwyneth correspondent is desperate to fill us in on.

Plus, main character energy is ruining our public spaces. People are pooing in public pools and Jessie is demanding more information about it while Holly reports on her firsthand experience with over-tourism in 2025—and how this might all be our new norm.
