Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright & Emily Vernem on our subscriber-only episode. You can listen to the full conversation here: ‘Wait. Is this book about me?’

Usher's onstage stunt just backfired and the internet definitely noticed.

Plus, two Manhattan lawyers were caught mid-pash by a TikToker who wouldn't stop filming: is it the new Coldplay kiss cam, or proof we've lost the right to be private in public?

And, Rachel Cusk's new novel reads suspiciously like the life of her friend Natalie Portman — and neither of them is commenting.

The theme remained the same: nobody asked for any of this.

What to read: 

• Rose McGowan said Natalie Portman was not "brave". And Natalie Portman agreed with her.
• Kristin was at the centre of the Coldplay kiss cam video. She just shared her side of the story.
• It was the 'affair' that broke the internet. Nobody saw Astronomer's next move coming.
