This week is all about the stories we tell ourselves. Are you being paranoid or intuiitive? From surprise opportunities and intuitive breakthroughs to emotional triggers and relationship insights, the astrology invites us to pause before reacting and question whether our fears are telling the truth. As Cancer season begins, the focus shifts towards emotional wellbeing, boundaries, belonging and learning to ask for what you actually need. A thoughtful, practical week that reminds us not to let our worst thought run the meeting

This week on Astro Talk, Kate Forster explores the astrology for June 7th to 14th, a week that sits between endings and beginnings. With a Gemini New Moon on the horizon, the focus is on clearing space, paying attention to opportunities, and noticing what themes are beginning to emerge. If you've felt caught between one chapter of your life and the next, this episode is for you.

This week we're talking TikTok, celebrity pile-ons, murder trials, body positivity, binge-worthy TV... and why maybe, just maybe, we all need to log off for a minute.

Kate and Tansy dive into the internet's obsession with watching celebrities unravel in real time, unpacking Perez Hilton's TikTok breakdown and asking where concern ends and public spectacle begins.

They also get into Rihanna shutting down the internet (again) at Barbados Carnival, why women are still expected to justify their bodies no matter what they do, and the heartbreaking Lindsay Clancy trial that's reignited conversations around postpartum mental health and how quickly society judges women before asking the harder questions.

Plus, the TV recommendations actually worth your time this week, including Furious and Colin From Accounts, because after all that emotional damage, everyone deserves something good to watch.

This week we've got political exits, Hollywood comebacks nobody asked for, runaway kindergartners, diarrhoea lettuce, Scientology escapes, marmots on OnlyFans... and somehow it all makes perfect sense.

Kate wonders when politicians should finally leave the dance floor (looking at you, Jacinta), Tansy has some thoughts about Johnny Depp's latest attempt at a redemption arc, and together they unpack why Anne Hathaway is quietly having the biggest year in Hollywood while everyone else is distracted.

We also celebrate Suri Cruise officially becoming Suri Noelle, question why scientists are now funding research through an OnlyFans account for furry little rodents, and discover that the biggest threat to America this week isn't politics...

It's the lettuce.

Meanwhile, two tiny Melbourne escape artists break out of kindergarten, crawl through a dog door, grab snacks and settle in to watch KPop Demon Hunters—which is either deeply concerning or genuinely iconic.

(We're still deciding.)

✨ Victoria gets a new Premier (and Kate has thoughts)
✨ Johnny Depp's Ebenezer Scrooge redemption tour
✨ Anne Hathaway quietly conquering Hollywood
✨ Suri Cruise officially cutting ties with Tom Cruise
✨ Scientists launching an OnlyFans... for marmots
✨ America's explosive lettuce situation
✨ The Melbourne kinders who escaped for snacks and Netflix
✨ Plus all the usual chaos, unsolicited opinions and pop culture nonsense you've come to expect.

Come for the celebrity gossip.

Stay for the diarrhoea discussion.

You're welcome.

Well... what a week.

Dave Hughes allegedly peeing in glasses backstage? Tick.

Rebel Wilson back in court? Tick.

Pauline Hanson saying something that made us collectively sigh into the void? Unfortunately... also tick.

This week Kate and Tansy unpack one of the weirdest celebrity stories Australia has produced in a while, dive into Rebel Wilson's latest legal battle, and ask the important questions—like why are so many men apparently allergic to washing their hands?

There's also movie chat (because Tansy actually leaves the house), with a review of The Invite, excitement for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, and a passionate detour into why Sporty Spice deserves far more respect than history has given her.

As always, it all somehow ends in politics, Barnaby Joyce, Pauline Hanson, and a reminder that being loud doesn't make you right.

This week's chaos includes:

• Dave Hughes' backstage "piss glass" saga
• Rebel Wilson's courtroom win (and everything around it)
• A spoiler-free review of The Invite
• Why everyone's talking about The Odyssey
• Mel C's wedding and a very important Spice Girls debate
• Pauline Hanson, domestic violence and why words matter
• Barnaby Joyce, dogs and absolute political nonsense

If you like pop culture, politics, feminism, films, celebrity gossip and two women who refuse to stay on topic for more than about three minutes... welcome. You're among friends.

Subscribe, leave a review, and come back next week for whatever fresh chaos the internet serves us.

We're back! After a Bali escape and a very necessary holiday, Kate and Tansy return to unpack everything.This week, we dive into Lena Dunham's new memoir Fame Sick, unpack the internet's outrage over Zendaya wearing ancient Iranian artefacts on the Odyssey press tour, and discuss why Tom Cruise's latest role might finally earn him the Oscar that's eluded him for decades.We also get into Ariana Grande's rumoured reunion with ex-boyfriend Ricky, the story behind Pedro Pascal's controversial Game of Thrones audition, and why success in Hollywood is far more strategic than people like to admit.Then we finish with a conversation that matters. Following another devastating week of violence against women in Australia, Kate and Tansy discuss why women are angrier than ever, why the current response isn't enough, and why it's time for governments—and men—to stop expecting women to solve a crisis they didn't create.This week we discuss:• Lena Dunham's Fame Sick and the Jack Antonoff conversation• Zendaya's ancient earrings and the ethics of wearing historical artefacts• Tom Cruise's new film and his long-awaited Oscar campaign• Ariana Grande's split from Ethan Slater and rumours she's reunited with Ricky• Did Pedro Pascal steal his Game of Thrones audition—or simply back himself?• Why ambition isn't a dirty word in Hollywood• Australia's ongoing epidemic of violence against women and why meaningful action can't waitIf you enjoyed the episode, don't forget to follow, leave a review and share it with someone who loves smart conversations, pop culture and a healthy dose of blunt opinions.
