Hi friends,

Getting straight into it, Pamela Anderson has clapped back at the controversial Pam and Tommy show on Stan with a celeb announcement on IG. We ask if this will be the new celeb notes app post.

Next, two very famous women, Britney Spears and Molly-Mae Hague have announced they're writing/ have written books. We do a deep-dive on what ghostwriting is, why celebs may do it, and whether it has a place in the publishing industry. The musician, Mitski came under fire this week after (gently) asking her fans to put their phones away a bit during live concerts. It resulted in a Twitter storm that exposed the result of internet parasocial relationships and stan culture. We read from Michael Di Lorio's Pedestrian TV piece, Our Parasocial Relationships With Musicians Are Chipping Away At Their Mental Health as well as reference a Guardian article titled Phones at gigs can be annoying – but they must never be banned by writer Ben Beaumont-Thomas.

For recommendations, Jas loves the latest season of The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon Prime while Maggie has been bingeing The Dropout on Disney+.

That's all folks! Jas and Mags xo
