It's news-free Friday so unpacking Buckingham Palace's announcement about Prince Andrew (let's make that just plain Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, shall we?) will have to wait until Monday when rest assured we'll be going in deep. In the meantime...

Our Em’s had enough of men playing it cool. On today's episode of MMOL, she’s responding to the Outlouders feedback on her dating life...

Are celebrities oversharing about their splits? Nicole Kidman's keeping it classic - sending us subliminal messages through clothes (see: revenge dress). Lily Allen is being extremely 2025 by putting her Notes-app confessions to music. But why are we being kept so clearly in the loop of some very private business? Welcome to a slightly unhinged conspiracy theory about the strategic advantage of spilling divorce tea and yes, it invo...

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 fina...

Got a shobby? You know — a short-term hobby for even shorter attention spans that fills the void between doomscrolls. Claire Murphy's hitting the high notes at Pub Choir, Holly’s deep in her Duolingo era, and Em V’s gone old school with a shobby that's like her full-time job now.

We’re also diving headfirst into Other People’s Marriages. After the ...

Holly Wainwright is deep into The Golden Bachelor, and she has one piping-hot take—but it may not be the one you're expecting. Claire Murphy and Amelia Lester are here to figure out if Hol is just secretly projecting on to a man called Bear or whether she has a point. 

And friends, you're not stressed, you're in the 'October Slump'. If time is swirling into a pre-Christmas nightmare and you can practically taste the...

Prince Andrew - the royal problem that just won't go away - has done just that, by giving up his royal titles. So, Amelia Lester and Claire Murphy join our royal correspondent Holly Wainwright to try understand - why now?

Plus, does high fashion actually hate women? From a dress that looks more like a cocoon, to an ensemble that includes a mask covering Kim Kardashian's entire face and a corset so tight your body actually spills ou...

Ever heard of 'Chatfishing’? Believe us, it's a thing, people, and may make you look at every message you receive in a whole new light. The trend is now to use ChatGPT for banter on dating apps and it’s leading to some awkward in-person dates. 

The bus tour you did through Europe in your twenties has now been replaced with sunrise yoga and morning run clubs. We discuss why Gen Z is too sensible for that kind of wil...

While there's an overwhelming sense of hope from the Middle East peace deal this week, we have some very complicated feelings about Donald Trump, so today, Jessie and Holly unpack them with Amelia and ask, "Can two things be true?"

A comedian really hurt Amelia’s feelings at a live show recently and we’re asking when it’s okay to take the piss out of people? 

Plus - a vape, a donated kidney and a friend break...

Victoria Beckham’s new docu-series has landed, and while it teases bombshells, it mostly confirms what we thought we already knew. Amelia, Jessie and Holly dive into the nostalgia, the PR spin, and what we really learnt that made watching so uncomfortable..

There's a new celebrity boyfriend doing the rounds and everyone from Jennifer Aniston to Princess Martha Louise of Norway (a royal rebel if ever there was one) are here to confirm that the spiritual-softboi era is officially here. Holly has a precise theory as to why.

And Jessie poses a provocative question to both Holly and Mamamia's Editor, Stacey Hicks: is ant...

  • If we could give Jennifer Lopez one tip: not every ex needs a friendship arc. Looking at you, Ben Affleck. Some things — like red carpets and rekindled flings — are better left in the early 2000s. On today's show, Holly braces herself for this scurrilous JLo gossip. Take cover, friends.

    Plus, a plot twist in the Taylor Swift PR machine no one saw comi...

    Outlouders, where's the craziest place you've ever had sex? We need to talk about the rise in people  having *ahem* private moments in public places. There's an interesting theory as to why which wait for it, involves the cost of living crisis. We clutch our pearls and explore.

    Plus, what are the exact things men need to be doing in 2025 to be considered a gentleman? An extensive etiquette list for men has just landed — ...

    One of Australia's most iconic couples have called it quits. We are of course talking about Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. Holly sits down with Amelia and Jessie to unpack what we know and to decode what's fact, what's fiction and what's plain ol' scurrilous gossip.

    Plus, when was the last time you changed your makeup routine? If it's been a hot minute, it's highly likely you're doing it all wrong. Amelia talks us through the lates...

    Australian singer Vanessa Amorosi has spoken about the very messy feud with her mum and the financial fallout that destroyed their relationship. But does it reveal more about the bizarre dynamics of child stars and their families? 

    Also, Jessie has a question: if you’re going through something in your personal life, should you tell your workplace about it? How much do you REALLY want your boss to know? We have tho...

    Victoria Beckham's about to release one. Charlie Sheen's got one. Even OnlyFans creator Bonnie Blue has got one. It seems every celebrity and public figure is getting their own documentary right now. What's behind this sudden surge? We discuss the rise of the celebrity documentary phenomenon and share our theory as to why they're more popular than ever.

    Plus, what do you do at night? It sounds like such a simple question, but ...

    Welcome to Amelia Lester's original theory about your phone battery that makes PERFECT sense. It actually has nothing to do with your phone, and everything to do with naps. 

    Also, an announcement from US President Donald Trump this week about pregnancy, autism and paracetamol has upset a lot of people. We discuss the impact on women, how medical experts in Australia have rejected the claims and the dangers of medical misinform...

    Picture this. You’re on a date or sitting in a job interview. Four minutes in, you know — this isn’t it. 

    Do you cut your losses and walk, or sit there smiling politely for the next painful hour? Same with a conversation that's making you quietly die inside or reading a book that came highly recommended —do you carry on or quit? That, ...

    Leave it to Donald Trump to redefine international etiquette — this time as a dibber-dobber. Threatening to tattle on a reporter to Australia's PM Anthony Albanese, Trump turned political theatrics into a cross-border spectacle.
