Lily Allen's Unevenly Open Marriage & ‘Likeable’ Kristen Bell

The terms “Nonmonogamummy” and “Pussy Palace” weren’t exactly on our cultural bingo cards for 2025… yet here we are. Lily Allen’s new album is a gloriously messy post-divorce confessional — a world away from the Gwyneth Paltrow school of conscious uncoupling.

And, Season 2 of Nobody Wants This has finally dropped — but one of our hosts is far too distracted by Kristen Bell’s latest Instagram post to care. Holly, Amelia and Jessie ask: does an actress have to be likeable for her show to work?

Plus, freebirthing — what it is, why it’s trending, and how it’s dividing the internet.

If you or somebody you know has experienced sexual assault and are in need of support, please call 1800 RESPECT on 1800 737 732. Help is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

And, always consult your healthcare provider for advice specific to your situation.
