  • The Grammys, Taylor Swift and Blake Lively rift, Paige and Craig breakup timeline

    Hello lovers. It’s officially awards season and frankly we can’t get enough of it. Join us as we debrief on what may have been the best Grammys ever. Big call we know! We discuss the Kanye and Bianca stunt (blink twice Bianca), Doechii’s incredible performance and speech, Chappell Roan’s powerful words for music industry execs, and Sabrina Carpenter’s Golden Hawn tribute performance!

    We then get into the headlines surrounding Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s friendship. Has Taylor really distanced herself from Khaleesi?

    Finally, we finish off the ep by debriefing on Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover’s breakup timeline, after Paige cleared up a few things on her Giggly Squad podcast earlier this week, just before Craig went on WWHL. Enjoy! x

  • Side Notes: Real Housewives of New York Reunion

    Welcome to another episode of our Side Notes series! Our Side Notes eps are focused on one juicy topic that’s caught our eye recently. From candid interviews, to unexpected moments in pop culture, or internet trends we can’t get enough of. We’re taking the notes so you don’t have to!


    This week we are diving into the RHONY reunion, and honestly we didn’t think we would be dedicating a WHOLE episode to this but how could we not!? We get straight into the Brynn of it all - do we think she really hadn’t watched the finale before reunion day? We give our take on Jenna’s $1.5k Balenciaga robe, how proud we are of Jessel for standing her ground, and whether we think Ubah will be returning next season. 


    Please note we will be discussing sexual assault at around the 30 min mark, so trigger warning for those that wish to switch off during this time.

  • 2025 pop culture predictions

    Ok guys, we had to bust out the crystal ball for this one! Our 2025 pop culture predictions are here, and let’s just say, some of them are as ridiculous as ever. Leah dives deep into Bravo predictions, while Sheena takes on general pop culture. Honestly, some of these are more like manifestations because hey, a girl can dream. 


    Before we get into the predictions, we chat about Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt’s renaissance (yes, it’s happening!) and share our thoughts on the RHONY reunion looks. If you’re just here for the predictions, skip ahead to the 14-minute mark. Enjoy! x

  • Golden Globes Gossip, Paige and Craig’s Split, Lily Allen’s Detective Era, Justin Bieber’s Unfollow Saga

    Hi hi hi hi hi! This week, we kick off with everything that went down at the Golden Globes. Nikki Glaser absolutely killed it as host, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner had everyone talking with their cutie patootie moments, and Demi Moore moved the room with her powerful, inspiring speech. Plus we give special mentions to our favourite looks of the night. 


    We also discuss Paige DeSorbo’s decision to end her relationship with Craig Conover and how she’s embracing being single at 32. A refreshing reminder that you don’t need to settle because society tells you to. We then unpack Lily Allen’s clever sleuthing that exposed her husband David Harbour on Raya - she really Sherlock Holmes’d this one! 


    And finally, what’s up with Justin Bieber? We’re unpacking his recent unfollowing spree and what it means for his inner circle. Have a fabbbbbb week and remember how bloody cool you are. Enjoy! x
