Wildly Uncool & Bizarre

Description

Hi friends!  We have a bumper episode today so strap in.  Firstly, what was with those Ryan Reynolds paparazzi photos last week? Amidst the It Ends With Us lawsuits between his wife, Blake Lively and her co-star Justin Baldoni, TikTok users wonder if Ryan's PR team set him up with staged fans. We also briefly recount where the lawsuits are at as of this week.  Next, Gracie Abrams fans have been called out after they tried to create a petition to replace Dora Jar, her tour's opening act. We discuss the entitlement many pop fans feel towards their faves.  In local news, Australian fast fashion brand Glassons has customers shocked by their new marketing campaign. Instagram users were perplexed by the Bondi Junction store when multiple slim models were turned into irl mannequins as they walked on treadmills at the front of the store in the new activewear collection. We discuss what this says about Australia's fashion culture and ask why brands are still using one type of body to promote their products.  Next, one of Australia's biggest social media stars, Anna Paul has been pulled into drama this week after her former friend (and brother's ex-girlfriend) Mikaela Testa shared allegations of Anna fat-shaming fans, lying about growing up poor and luring young fans into subscribing to her Only Fans content under the guise of giving away money prizes. While we share the toplines of the drama, we also discuss why wealthy people feel they need to pretend to be poor and reference this video essay by Michael Sorensen. This also leads us into a chat about the Lola Young nepo-niece allegations.  In recommendations, Maggie loved The Beesting by Paul Murray while Jas recommends Good With Money by Emma Edwards.  Lots of love, Jas & Mags xo See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
