"If You Make Your Bed, You Lie in It" PM Rules Out Help for 'ISIS Brides' in Syria

It was the show that taught us to "smize" while normalising questionable practices, it was America's Next Top Model . 

This week, Netflix drops "Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model," a three-part autopsy of the 24-cycle juggernaut that defined early 2000s reality TV, but what's the point of it? 

We explore whether this reunion of Tyra Banks and her original panel, plus former contestants, actually offers accountability, or if it’s just another "nostalgia trip" designed for a new binge.

And in headlines today, Thirty-four ‌Australians released from a camp holding families of suspected Islamic State militants in northern Syria have returned to ‌the detention centre due to "technical reasons"; The Kremlin has rejected accusations from five European countries that they killed jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny with toxin from ‌a poisonous frog; US media are reporting that the investigation into the disappearance of TV show host Savannah Guthrie’s mother is now leaning away from suspecting family members; Ed Sheeran told the crowd in Sydney that he no longer has a mobile phone because of the lawsuit brought against him in 2015

Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights has officially landed, and it’s every bit as polarising as you’d expect.

With reviews from film critics and fans alike spreading across the internet, Mamamia Out Loud host Holly Wainwright joins us to unpack the films intention, the criticism it's drawn and if the world will survive this book to screen adaptation. 

And in headlines today, The Milano Cortina games are now Australia's most successful winter Olympics with the Aussies adding 2 gold, a silver and a bronze to the tally over the weekend; Opposition Leader Angus Taylor will unveil his overhauled front bench this week as he signals a shift to the right with a focus on issues such as immigration; Endometriosis Australia has released a statement after it was reported that a Melbourne surgeon was being investigated for performing unnecessary procedures on endo patients; The youngest of the Beckham crew has celebrated Valentine’s Day with a shout out to all her big brothers; Larry the cat today celebrates 15 years as the mouser for 10 Downing St, the cat having served under 6 Prime Ministers
