Myf and Zan went to the Logies and we have goss. The wild red carpet, the neverending awards ceremony, and which celebs Zan pulled a netball manoeuvre on.

Meanwhile Doja Cat has been going off on one on socials, we dig into why – and how parasocial relationships are changing the invisible contract between artist and fan. But was there one in the first place?

Have you ever put deodorant on your face? Our minds are blown this week (with roll on) and Myf is on board, and MSCHF are up to it again, and making a big yellow Crocs statement in the name of art.

And we’re banging on about the John Farnham doco Finding The Voice, and Linda Marigliano’s memoir Love Language.
