The Fifth Trimester

We’re fresh from the BEST weekend in Melbourne and feeling all THE FEELS after meeting so many gorgeous DLs. Lu’s found a bingeable new show, BB has a huge round-up of all the live music heading Down Under, and you need to watch Troye Sivan’s new Party video clip immediately. Then, we’re deep-diving into the Ed Sheeran and Macklemore fallout. Two men. Two very different political stances. And now, one of the biggest pop culture stories of the year. Next up, it’s the very silly celeb story we so desperately needed. Channing Tatum’s alleged burner account has been unearthed and it proves he’s just as insecure as the rest of us. But what on earth must Zoë Kravitz and Harry Styles think of it?! Finally, our INs and OUTs include an exciting new celeb beauty line, a lip product that DOES NOT work, and one very important question: why don’t TV series recap previous seasons anymore?!

No pleasantries today, fam, there’s just far too much juicy goss to get stuck into. First cab off the rank - Australian podcaster Ellidy Pullin is engaged to Brock Wadsworth, and we couldn’t be happier for her, but the media just won’t leave her alone. Did you see that mother monster Lady Gaga is an actual mother? Gaga welcomed her first child and it was a total surprise. From one iconic singer to the next, Celine Dion is officially back on the stage after six years and battling stiff person syndrome, and it’s a sight to behold. Meghan Markle just shared her first dispatches from their new life in the UK, and we have some editing notes. Have you watched Sydney Sweeney’s latest raunchy ad for gambling company Novig? Is it rage-bait? Is it marketing genius? Or do we have no fucks left to give? Lu is spilling the tea on the time she worked at Merivale for Sydney hospitality baron Justin Hemmes, and what his romance with model Simone Holtznagel can teach us about being a society woman in 2026. Meanwhile, BB is furious with The Spice Girls for the biggest stitch-up since they dogged their Australian leg of their world tour in 2007. Rounding it all out with our beloved INs and OUTs, including the colour of spring, a juicy new book, rooftop pools and a stupid internet trend we want to put in the bin.

We are BACK from the MOST exciting weekend of our lives, opening the Sydney leg of the Know Thyself tour! We’re sharing all the goss from the weekend that was, plus we’re desperate to watch Sharon Horgan’s new show, Youth, and we reveal all the 2027 Coachella headliner rumours. Also, Nicole Kidman’s divorce glow-up is such a vibe and her surprise weekend in Sydney proves it. We watched the Raygun docco over the weekend so you don’t have to. Did it help or hinder the reputation of the 39-year-old academic-slash-university lecturer-slash-B-girl-slash-internet meme? And what it can teach us about imposter syndrome. We have notes. And, does being a mum turn you into a bad friend? Model and mother-of-three Jesinta Franklin thinks it does, and we have THOUGHTS. Finally, our beloved ins and outs include the single parent tax, the shoes of spring and the ultimate period saviour.

Spring has officially SPRUNG, so we’re asking the most important question: what the hell are we wearing? We’re joined by our style queen and former Vogue digital director Ali Izzo to break down the trends mums can actually wear this season. From jeans and shoes to prints, colour combos, accessories and everything in between, Ali’s giving us the spring wardrobe cheat sheet we need.

BB got her dream hair and then she got nits, why must life be so cruel? It was a busy weekend with Pod Husband Tobes running the Sydney Marathon, only for Bella to massively drop the ball at the finish line. Do we feel like celeb plastic surgery is all getting a bit cooked right now? It’s a chat we’ve wanted to have for a long time, but over the past few weeks it’s really hit fever pitch with 33-year-old Australian influencer Ruby Tuesday Matthews heading to Korea for a facelift. As two millennial women who do things to our faces, we’re breaking it all down. Our INs and OUTs include a tasty new hybrid snack, bedazzling, the power of a red nail and a spooky new Instagram feature. Finally, we’re dropping our huge announcement and we’re FIZZING with excitement.
