#266: Britney’s Memoir, Jada’s Revelations, Nicolas Cage’s Shopping

It’s raining memoirs, and we’ve got the dish on Britney Spear’s forthcoming tell all, and Jada Pinkett-Smith’s mic drop revelations in her just released “Worthy”. Dolly is lobbing in too, she loves a good book, and we’re here for it.

Nicholas Cage is shooting a movie in south-west WA and we’re living for the reportage around his local spottings. And on the East Coast, the Dugong is being pitched as the perfect Olympic mascot. A grazing sea cow that is a bit shy? Let’s go.

Myf has been watching a great new Julia-Louis Dreyfus film on the plane, and Zan is listening to reflections and analysis post Referendum, from some brilliant First Nations voices.
