    SUBS: Scurrilous Gossip: A Facelift Slippage & ‘Wildly Unhappy’ Royals

    It’s time for some Scurrilous Gossip and today Mia wants to talk about Kris Jenner’s face. After debuting a very ‘refreshed’ look last year, the internet is in a spin, with claims her facelift is - wait for it - slipping. We unpack exactly what that means for the rest of us. Then, Em takes us behind the velvet curtain of the fashion world with some BTS intel from The Devil Wears Prada 2. So, who is the real 'Emily'? And a new high-stakes newsletter claims Harry and Meghan are ‘wildly unhappy’. But does it ring true? Our Royal correspondent Holly has thoughts. 🔷 Did you know Mamamia  subscribers get an all-access pass to every episode of Mamamia Out Loud including excclusive episodes on Tuesdays and Thursdays PLUS articles, videos and our exercise app, MOVE?

  7. When A Crappy Husband Makes A Great TV Show

    22 APR ·  VIDEO

    When A Crappy Husband Makes A Great TV Show

    First, a rundown of the scurrilous gossip you missed while you were actually working: Sydney Sweeney’s cameo’s been cut from The Devil Wears Prada 2, Harry Styles is either engaged or ring-baiting us and Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton have hard-launched with a pap-frolic.  In other business, why is Reese Witherspoon suddenly telling all her followers to use AI? Is this a genuine attempt to close the gender tech-gap, or is Reese just the friendliest face the robots could recruit to crack Gen X? In other business, we might be witnessing the most effective character-assassination comeback in history. While Lily Allen is currently touring an album that provides a literal receipt-by-receipt rundown of her marriage breakdown — complete with props explaining David Harbour’s alleged infidelity — her ex is busy being the most lovable man on TV in DTF St. Louis. Holly asks if playing someone lovable is the best way to rehabilitate an actor’s bad reputation? Let’s ask Noah Wyle and Adam Driver. What can one of the world’s richest women (by marriage) tell us about happiness? No, please don’t throw your phone, Clare’s all ears for Lauren Sanchez Bezos’s gratitude tips. And finally, we need to talk about the absolute tailspin that occurs when a Gen Z coworker compliments an older coworker’s outfit. Is it genuine praise, or a calculated power move? Amelia’s diving into millennial fashion anxiety and why a simple 'I love your jeans' can feel like a personal attack.

    SUBS: Harry & Meghan Just Blew Up The Sandringham Summit

    Harry and Meghan’s Aussie tour may be over, but for The Royal Family, everything has changed. Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright and Em Vernem are back in the studio together to unpack the week that took a hammer to a long-held Royal agreement. Remember when the late Queen Elizabeth told Harry and Meghan that a hybrid Royal life was impossible? That they were either in or they were out? It was a rule made at a meeting called The Sandringham Summit, and Harry told us all about it in his book, Spare.   Well, last week in Australia, it became crystal-clear that the Sussexes are not playing by those rules any more, and they’re certainly not asking for permission. They’re officially living ‘Option 3’  - a life that’s half-royal, half-celebrity, and it’s blown the agreement made at the 2020 Sandringham Summit to bits.  So are we cheering for their rebellious middle finger to the establishment, or are we finger-wagging at them having their cake and eating it too? And what’s that sound coming from London, where doubtless William and Charles have been watching the coverage of 'The Spare’s' Aussie tour through their furious fingers?
