The uncomfortable reality of internalised misogyny

Well, it’s been a big week in the world of celebrity divorce after Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum announced their “loving” split to the cries of love being dead. So why is it we feel so viscerally about break-ups like this? Is it because we feel we’ve being sold a lie about what a relationship and a break up looks like? Plus, a radio host’s orgasm story that was a little bit too much to stomach and the atrocity that is Meghan Markle daring to have a grey hair. Zara recommended two pieces from Man Repeller this week, one on love and the beauty of its dullness which you can find here, and another on the concept of a friendship complex which you can find here. If you’re also willing to give Marie Claire a click for that atrocious grey hair article, you can right here. (But don’t tell them we sent you.) And if you haven’t read it, or it’s been a while, check out the history-making Vanity Fair profile of Meghan Markle here. You're so welcome to join the conversation in our Facebook group!

HELLO! This week we're doing things a little differently - we're interviewing Georgia Love! The journalist and former Bachelorette issued a blistering tweet to a women's tabloid mag this week, so we had a chat with her about it. Also, we need to get to the bottom of why a celebrity BIT BEYONCE ON THE FACE and whether or not it's creepy for Scott Disick to be dating a teenager.

HOLA! Welcome back. Bachelor in Paradise started this week, so naturally, we took it upon ourselves to debrief all about the show's premiere. Michelle thinks Davey and Flo will be the first to have sex, Zara thinks she's wrong and mostly, we talk a whole lot of crap about a show that's just a whole lot of crap. Loveable crap, that is. We also deep-dive the return of Britney Spears - considering she randomly re-surfaced in our news cycle TWICE this week - and discuss the media's troubling response to a story about Robin Williams and his larrikin antics on the set of Mork & Mindy. Can we call it sexual harassment when it's not, by definition, sexual harassment? Feel free to come and join the conversation in our Facebook group!

Oh hey there! This week, we just needed to debrief about the kiss that landed Katy Perry in some rather hot water, the WAGs who build their careers off the back of heartbreak, and the incredible resurgence of Jennifer Garner. Speaking of Jen Garner, let us know what you think her quotes meant in this Vanity Fair profile: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/02/jennifer-garner-talks-kids-career-ben-affleck You're so welcome to join the conversation in our Facebook group!

Ever wondered if Fashion Week is just a big wank fest? Michelle and Zara went down to VAMFF this week to check it all out, and Mich walked away with a few key concerns about the festival. Plus, we deep-dive the months-long saga involving Ryan Seacrest and try to make sense of sexual misconduct allegations that are made public before they're proven. Oh, and do we have any right to know about Bella Hadid’s face? It feels like now more than ever plastic surgery is prevalent among our youngest and brightest stars. So what the hell do we make of it all? If you're interested in a comprehensive explainer on Ryan Seacrest, Variety have done some great reporting on the issue: http://variety.com/2018/tv/news/ryan-seacrest-sexual-abuse-allegations-stylist-details-1202710460/ You're so welcome to join the conversation in our Facebook group!
