Are we going to get cancelled for loving these problematic rom-coms?

There’s no denying romantic comedy movies get away with some pretty questionable behaviour… but we still love them.

So today, off the back of an exciting update on a fourth Bridget Jones’ Diary movie, we’re walking you through our most beloved geek-to-goddess, hooker-to-housewife films.

The Best New TV Shows To Watch Over The Summer Holidays

Belle Gibson fooled not only her hundreds of thousands of followers, but the most prestigious book publishers in Australia, the tech giants of silicon valley and even her family and friends into believing she was something she was not: sick. If today, her name is synonymous with the weighty infamy of a notorious scam, there was a time before that, when she was celebrated as an inspiration.

On this episode of Extraordinary Stories, we look at the rise of Belle Gibson. From tall tales in school drama classes to international acclaim and influence, how did Annabelle Natalie Gibson become the pinup girl for the wellness movement?

Belle Gibson (Part 2): The Email No One Wanted To Believe

 Belle Gibson: From Teen Mum To Master Manipulator 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/516a9e4c-c151-4be1-b82a-b23c002fe7fb/transcript

In the Cancelled courtroom today is the firstborn of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, North West. But you’d never guess who her parents are from her lack of interest in the spotlight. I mean, it’s not like she stole the show in The Lion King musical while surrounded by actual trained performers or anything. Oh wait, that totally happened!

Sure, as a kid, you’re usually figuring out who you are and what you want to be, but when you’re North West, you can do anything and have as many “careers” as you want. Should she stick to what she's good at, Tik Tok lives where she lets Kardashian secrets slip? 

Her charges we're investigating today include how she likes to keep her mum Kim humble in front of as many important people as possible, painting far too good for her age and her first solo interview that really cemented her brand. 

A LIST OF EVERYONE WE'VE CANCELLED ALONG THE WAY: 
Kim ‘Throw Sh*t At A Wall & See What Sticks’ Kardashian
JoJo "Get Your Ex On Your Podcast" Siwa
The O.C: Seth's Behind The Scenes Antics & The Issue With Marissa 
It Ends With Us Drama
Bennifer
Lady Gaga
