- 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.

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.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. - Lu has some VERY exciting news but it comes off the back of a hectic AF week. Then, would you marry your stepbrother if it was TRUE love? One actress has faced this exact dilemma and it’s really making us think. We’re also low-key obsessed with Benny Blanco’s radical pizza diet… but is the whole thing actually a hoax? Plus, is Taylor Swift baiting us, or is it AI? We’re breaking down the latest Swiftie updates. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are moving back to the UK and the world has BIG FEELINGS about it. But the real reason behind the move has reportedly been revealed, and it may have something to do with Megs being in her Fifth Trimester, but it’s maybe already hit a snag?! And our beloved INs and OUTs feature a buzzy new word, a disastrous haircut courtesy of Lu’s boyfriend, a Book Week call to arms and one very cheugy throwback.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. - Hollywood actress Hayden Panettiere has tragically died at just 36 years old from a suspected overdose. She was found unresponsive at a residence in Greenville, South Carolina, on Sunday, August 16. A true millennial icon, Hayden began acting as a child and broke through in Remember the Titans at just 10 years old, before going on to star in Heroes, Nashville and the Scream franchise. Bella is joined by Gem to unpack the devastating news in real time, reflecting on Hayden’s extraordinary career, the darker side of growing up in the Hollywood machine, and the complicated intersection of child stardom, exploitation and addiction that she spoke so openly about throughout her life.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. - We’re still riding high from the weekend that was the opening night of the Know Thyself national tour in Canberra! We’re sharing all the BTS goss from the WDHTFT gals’ first show. It wasn’t just our big stage debut, with the nation’s first son, Robert Irwin, taking to the stage to host the TV WEEK Logie Awards, and we personally think he nailed it. In breaking hair news, Taylor Swift has just shown off a wild new look and we have THOUGHTS. Troye Sivan is finally back with new music and his latest video clip, She’s The Best, is a love letter to his female friendships. Oh, and it also stars the one and only Nicole Kidman, whose latest interview with Vogue proves she’s the ultimate 5th trimester poster gal. Netflix’s newest dating show, Let’s Marry Harry, stars 29-year-old Aussie Harry Jowsey and we’ve figured out why Lu’s obsessed with it and Bella’s not, and it’s all to do with our attachment styles. Finally, our INs and OUTs feature a new style of sunnies, a trending new sport and some very silly shoes.
