    Can we just let Ellidy Pullin, Meghan Markle & Sydney Sweeney LIVE?!

    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 f***s 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.  Mentions: Elysium Manly Life of M by Rachel Cusk KNOW THYSELF LIVE SHOW TICKETS and MERCH LIVE STREAM and BOX SET Follow us: @the_fifth_trimester See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Does Becoming A Mum Make You A Bad Friend?

    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.

    Facelifts At 33 & BIG News

    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.  Mentions: Bizza shapes Watch Race Around the World, Forever 35  How Skinny-tok and Fascism ended up on the same FYP Tickets to Know Thyself live show Follow us: @the_fifth_trimester See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Would You Have A Baby With Your Stepbrother?

    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.   Mentions: F*ck Failure by Benny Blanco Tina Brown’s Substack, Fresh Hell The Diana Chronicles by Tina Brown Come and hang out with us in Sydney or Melbourne’s Know Thyself shows!

    Why Hayden Panettiere’s Death Has Rocked Millennials

    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. **If anything we talk about today brings something up for you, Lifeline is available 24/7 on 13 11 14 Mentions: Hayden Panettiere’s final interview on Jay Shetty’s podcast This Is Me: A Reckoning by Hayden Panettiere   Follow us: @the_fifth_trimester See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Why Netflix’s Marry Harry Is A Total Sham

    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.     Mentions: Know Thyself tickets Nicole Kidman’s Vogue interview Troye Sivan’s She’s The Best video clip Let’s Marry Harry on Netflix  Follow us: @the_fifth_trimester See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Bison Burgers With Miranda Kerr 🍔

    Happy tour week, cuties! We have a pitch for expanding your jacket wardrobe, and it’s kinda genius. Are your kids into Ooshies? Is it a good thing, a bad thing, or just Gen Alpha’s equivalent to collecting Spice Girls’ photos? In very important couple news, our queen Raye may have found her husband, and we’re squealing. Lu spent the $99 on Kyle Sandilands Live so you don’t have to, and the first morning of his new show was A LOT. Here’s why we think it will be a flop. Meanwhile, the recent Perez Hilton livestream episode feels way too Black Mirror-y for us. Fresh off Revz and Gem’s More Time chat asking if you can ever be friends with your ex, Hilary Duff and Joel Madden just surprised us all with the Good Charlotte performance we didn’t know we needed, and it’s got us thinking - should WE be friends with our exes?  Miranda Kerr is coming for our eggs and our sushi, and we simply won’t stand for it. We’re unpacking the supermodel’s bizarro diet claims and why it could be causing more damage than good. But real talk - where do we get our hands on a fresh bison burger? Our INs and OUTs for the week include a fab red lip, a cool vintage accessory, and a real hair level-up.  Mentions: Know Thyself live tour tickets  More Time: Can You Be Friends With Your Ex? @reallifewithmg Let’s Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari: Secrets of a Supermodel with Miranda Kerr Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution, Red Carpet Red Lomax Hair Zig-zag headbands Follow us: @the_fifth_trimester See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
