A Very Sad Billionaire & The Boobs We Can't Stop Staring At

At an innovation awards night — the kind where billionaires clap themselves wearing sustainably sourced tuxedos — one pop superstar cut through the self-congratulation with a single line: “If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but, yeah, give your money away, shorties.” The crowd laughed, sort of. The notable billionaire in the room? Not so much. We discuss.

Meanwhile, the politics of a pair of untethered breasts: why Sydney Sweeney's new take on the naked dress has everyone confused, divided, and debating what empowerment looks like in 2025. Gotta say: We were MESMERISED.

And, is it just plain embarrassing to admit to having a boyfriend now? The most viral essay of the week says YES — but why?

Plus, the royal formerly known as “Prince” Andrew is only Andrew now. In what’s being called 'the greatest crisis the royal family has faced in 100 years', the King has banished his brother after the noise around Andrew's behaviour finally became too loud for even the insulated royals to ignore. So what now? Will it silence critics and accusers, or just open the floodgates? Fortunately, Royal Correspondent Holly Wainwright is here to explain.
