Emma Watson, The End Of Skinny & Nicole Kidman

Emma Watson, The End Of Skinny & Nicole Kidman

Hello Content Pups, strap in, seatbelts ON, we're going on a content road trip. This week on the podcast we’re talking about Emma Watson’s Jay Shetty interview (and the subsequent fall out), the way that GLP-1S, have democratised thinness - and what that means for body trends, and perhaps the biggest divorce in recent pop culture history


It's been a hefty week for celeb and pop culture stories, so yes you’re exactly right, we’re bringing back the EIC headlines; from Nicole Kidman's divorce, to Lola Young's statement and Super Bowl Sunday.


Next up, last Wednesday an interview between podcaster and life coach Jay Shetty and actress Emma Watson was released. At time of recording the video of the interview on YouTube has almost 3 million views and over 6000 comments. It’s the only podcast she’s ever done and her first long form conversation in over five years. They get pretty candid about her recent driving ban for speeding, her complicated relationship to film promotion, sensitivity, fame, if she’ll return to acting, Harry Potter- all sorts. But the part that is hitting the headlines most this week is a part towards the end of the interview where Jay asks her about JK Rowling and the relationship between the two women. We get into it.


And lastly, Christiana Mbakwe Medina for her Substack, Pop Syllabus, writes, ‘Right now, Ozempic and other GLP-1s are rapidly democratizing thinness, making it attainable to whomever can afford it. As a result, the value of thinness as a status symbol is diminishing, and I believe we’re about to enter a significant shift. Be prepared for The Sculpt'. Are we about to enter into a new body trend craze?
