Is Caroline Calloway Even That Bad?

Last week's MTV VMAs marked 10 years since Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech, kicking off the celebrity feud of the decade. After Izzy rewatched the footage and Grace read a new T Swift profile, we discuss the whole drama, and examine how Taylor Swift, a decade on, may still be missing the point. Plus, is everyone except us and Kirsten Dunst intermittent fasting? She is our new celebrity crush - offering us all a lesson in abandoning vanity (and selling your shit when it doesn't fit you anymore). And on a more serious note: how the palace got dragged into the #MeToo movement and what Prince Andrew's chubby fingers have to do with anything.

This week we bring you a very special episode, in conversation with the brains behind our favourite Instagram account. Chelsea Fairless is a legend - as one half of @everyoutfitonsatc she has created a pop culture phenomenon, responsible for everything from #WokeCharlotte to those ‘We Should All Be Mirandas’ tees. This week she's in the studio to discuss all things ‘Sex and the City’ - who had the best (and worst) wardrobes? Why did Miranda dump Robert? Who was Carrie's one that got away? And, most importantly, why did Carrie buy Louise that horrendous purse? Plus, we get up to speed on the latest Liam/Miley drama and get serious about Hollywood’s highly questionable treatment of Roman Polanski.Pre-order Chelsea and Lauren’s first book here: https://www.amazon.com/Should-All-Mirandas-Underrated-Character/dp/0358022363You can follow us on Instagram: @afterworkdrinkspodcast and join our closed Facebook group, After Work Drinks Podcast.

Johnny Depp was cancelled, Leonardo DiCaprio is dating women younger than us, but Brad Pitt? Getting better every year like a fine wine.

Plus, a deep dive into Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's marriage breakdown, one woman's crazy story of her in-laws trying to kill her and the pair of shoes that almost ruined our friendship/lives.

A lot has happened this week and we're diving in headfirst. On the wholesome content front, Gigi Hadid had another date with that Bachelorette contestant. On the sad news front, Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus announced they are divorcing a mere six months after tying the knot. Equinox's founder threw a Trump fundraiser and sent the Los Angeles crowd into meltdown - but it's his work with Hudson's Yard and New York Fashion Week that really got us talking.

We're back! And deep-diving on love and relationships. In an era where the week's talking points usually boil back to either 'The Bachelor', 'The Bachelorette' or 'Love Island', what does our insatiable appetite for relationship content say about us? Plus, the Netflix documentary that confirms our worst fears about data abuse and privacy breaches, Izzy gets her aura read and Grace is hungover from 2.5 glasses of wine.Recommendations:'The Devil and Dave Chapelle' by William Jelani Cobb'The Great Hack' on Netflix Hosted on Acast.

It's that time again! Ahead of 'The Bachelor' mania kicking off in Australia, we briefly discuss why it is that we end up hating all former Bachies and why 'The Bachelorette' is never as good. Speaking of reality TV, Lena Dunham wrote a brilliant piece for 'The Guardian' about 'Love Island' and 'The Bachelorette' USA admitted she actually got it on not two, but four times in a windmill, firmly cementing herself as AWD's Hero of the Week. Plus, why taking a digital detox could be the best thing we ever do, second only to checking our opinions. When did we all start suddenly knowing everything about everything? And what's so bad about sitting on the fence sometimes?If you want daily recommendations and lots of fun chat (read: skincare recommendations), join our closed Facebook group: After Work Drinks Podcast.

Good morning to everyone except the sleazy photographers sliding into women's Instagram DMs! On the agenda today, the 'Big Little Lies' finale, how we both got scammed and a new podcast we think you'll love.
