IN CONVERSATION: Tanya Hennessy

Happy Monday everyone! Today, we’re heading back to 1932. Elizabeth Taylor was one of Hollywood’s greatest icons.

G’day everyone! On today’s show: Why do celebrities keep telling us how often - or not often - they bathe? Plus, an Instagram influencer calls out another for systematically copying her content, Jennifer Aniston’s very public birthday message to Justin Theroux, and then, the Good Weekend profile on Jock Zonfrillo that some are calling the most interesting and ~intriguing ~ celebrity profile in years. This week, Mich recommended watching Would I Lie To You on ABC iView and Cooking With Paris on Netflix. Zara recommended listening to the This American Life episode, Switched at Birth. Annabelle also had a rec this week! The documentary, Val, on Amazon Prime. Have a look at that compilation of Instagram photos we mentioned by heading here. And for that piece in The Atlantic about fact-checking, head here. Got some thoughts on today’s episode you wanna share?

Hello wonderful humans! Welcome to the final instalment of our Scientology series. For years, Katie Holmes was renowned as the passive, mild, third wife of Tom Cruise. Then, one day in 2012, she would prove the media wrong: the meek wife of the face of Scientology had been underestimated by just about everyone. To watch that clip of Tom jumping up and down on Oprah’s couch, declaring his intense love for Katie, head here. Got some thoughts on this scandal you wanna share?

Goooood morning all! It’s the church-meet-cult that’s famous for indoctrinating celebrities - Elisabeth Moss, John Travolta, and most notably, Tom Cruise.
