So, according to Charli XCX, the dance floor is dead?! We have thoughts on these shock claims as the musician announces her surprising new direction. In very exciting streaming news, our queen of pop, Kylie Minogue, is getting the Netflix documentary treatment, and we are *squealing* with glee. Now, onto a very important question for you: if a tiger were loose in the crowd, how would you handle it? Next up, Lu is deep-diving into Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton’s blossoming romance. And while it’s progressing at the speed of a shiny, red Ferrari, could Lewis be a keeper? Plus, we get a big round table update on all of the other KDash players, their new beaus and some weird toes. Would you let Nicole Kidman be your death doula? The actress is retraining in this unexpected field, and it’s got us thinking about other celebs who also have normal-people jobs. Finally, our ins and outs for the week include another dubious hobby for Lu, a cool new colour to wear and how NOT to use AI.

What’s your tiger-in-a-crowd personality? 🐯

It’s a glorious week for entertainment, with the telly absolutely bursting with options. From the return of Rivals on Disney+ to the hotly anticipated Kylie Minogue documentary dropping on Wednesday, we’ve got your viewing schedule sorted. Who else spent the weekend glued to the 70th Eurovision Song Contest? We’re unpacking it all, from Our Delta’s powerful rendition of Eclipse to the new earworm of the moment, Bangaranga, its philosophical meaning and how it can be applied to just about everything. In silly parenting news, there’s yet another new label to box ourselves into - the “beta mum”. What do we think? And why is Jessica Simpson’s latest move the perfect example of a beta mum in action? Then, we’re taking a look at John Travolta’s kooky new look and the curse of the upper bleph on men. Finally, our ins and outs for the week include a new cake trend and some BIG feelings about the vintage Country Road bag.

Are You A Beta Mum?

Staring your week with a hilarious dispatch from Lu’s dating life, which BB accidentally derailed in spectacular fashion. Also, there’s one elderly king dominating our feeds right now - the big dog, Sir David Attenborough, who just clocked ~triple~ digits. There is only ONE book millennial women are currently reading, or inhaling through their ear holes, and it’s Famesick by Lena Dunham. We’re unpacking the memoir of the moment and why we’re feeling protective over the Girls creator. Did she share too much? Do we love her for it? Or are we about to tear her down (again) for doing exactly that? Plus, Rihanna has broken the interwebs with her new tattoo, and it’s got BB seriously second-guessing her own upcoming ink. Naturally, we take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of Tinseltown’s most terrible tatts. And finally, our ins and outs include a low-touch way to do your hair, THE sherpa jacket of the season and a bone to pick with late-night gigs.

We’re Worried About Lena Dunham 

Ahead of Mother’s Day this Sunday, BB and Lu are dropping in for a special lil chat/pep talk/warm hug for anyone who may find this day hard to navigate. Whether you’re longing to be a mum, missing your mum, caring for your mum, dealing with a complex mother-daughter relationship, a tricky mother-in-law dynamic, or a single mum... It’s a day that can put all of that under a microscope and really illuminate the pain. Lu opens up about how, in the wake of her divorce, Mother’s Day, and other big, celebratory moments now come with an undercurrent of sadness. BB shares what it’s been like stepping into the role of legal guardian for her mum following a dementia diagnosis. The girls also share how they’re marking the day together this year, complete with a full-blown boycott of the whole damn thing. We hope this alternative view point makes you feel less alone, DLs.
