She was the queen of Nickelodeon, beloved by teens of the noughties. But just as her movie career was taking off, something happened to Amanda Bynes. In this two-part series, we’re looking back on the life and career of Amanda Bynes before, during and after things got out of control.

We’ll dive into the paparazzi culture that hounded and taunted young Hollywood starlets, and question our historic understanding of the mental health issues at play. What caused Amanda Bynes to crumble alongside a generation of young stars? And where has Amanda been for the last decade?

Listen to part two of this series on Amanda Bynes here.

“We can bury anyone: Inside a Hollywood smear machine”.

That’s the New York Times headline that meant we had to bring you this episode of Mamamia Out Loud today. 

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni made headlines just a few months ago for their roles in one of the year’s most-watched films, It Ends With Us. But what was happening off-screen turned out to be an even bigger story.

In this emergency meeting, Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright unpack the facts behind Blake's legal complaint against her co-star and director Justin, which alleges sexual harassment and an orchestrated campaign to destroy her reputation.

Plus, what this lawsuit means for Hollywood power dynamics, celebrity reputations, and the way narratives and the manipulation of public perception are shaped in the digital age.

On the show today, we finally saw Nicole Kidman’s sexy new thriller Babygirl and we’re dying to tell you about it, but there’s a catch.

Plus, Timothée Chalamet has tried his hand at theme dressing to promote his new film, and it hasn’t quite hit the mark. But what we’re more interested in is a new video that has surfaced.

And two iconic actresses who are leading the awards race this season have sat down to have an honest conversation about their careers, and one confession truly shocked us.
