Inside The 2026 Met Gala: Fits, Nips & All The Juicy Bits

Will The Real Kylie Minogue Please Stand Up?

It’s the only show we wanna talk about right now - Netflix’s Kylie Minogue three-part documentary, Kylie, so of course we had to record a special episode to break it all down. We chat about all the huge bombshells (career, cancer, kids), and all the things that were left unsaid.  Because the big question is, after three hours with Australia’s golden girl of pop, do we actually know Kylie better? Or has Kylie done what Kylie does best - let us close enough to feel her glittery warmth, but not quite close enough to touch the truth? Plus, Lu opens up about how Kylie and Dannii Minogue’s dynamic reminds her a lot of her own bond with her big sister Revs, and why one sibling’s success should never be the other’s undoing.   Netflix’s Kylie: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/82075657 [https://www.netflix.com/au/title/82075657]  - Sign up to The Fifth Trimester [https://view.flodesk.com/pages/624f95a9274c31b2fa76a29f] Fix [https://view.flodesk.com/pages/624f95a9274c31b2fa76a29f]https://view.flodesk.com/pages/624f95a9274c31b2fa76a29f The Fifth Trimester bangers playlist [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0HxV35w0G87TsnLqeMqu2l?si=dc37001128e641dd]  Follow us: @the_fifth_trimester [https://www.instagram.com/the_fifth_trimester/?hl=en] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

An Elaborate Celebrity Ghosting & Why It’s Giving Bella PTSD 👻

Buckle up, fellas, because we’re starting the ep with some incredibly graphic CELEB SEX STUFF, and it’s all thanks to Real Housewives star Brandi Glanville’s latest act of TMI. Then, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift stepped out for a very public date night over the weekend, and yes, they looked extremely loved up. But there’s something Trav did that has given us the collective ick. Have you been following the absolutely wild Katie Price romance drama? The British star’s love life is making headlines for all the wrong reasons after her whirlwind marriage to fourth husband Lee Andrews, and her very public ghosting on the global stage has reminded Bella of the time she, too, was also strung along by a not-so-keen fuckboy. Only Bella’s version involves a kidney transplant. Then we’re chatting about the show of the moment, Off Campus. We both kinda hate it, but Producer Kate wants us to stick with it for a very unexpected reason. And of course, our ins and outs for the week include the perfect pair of affordable baggy jeans, a cute hobby we can all try out, and why BB is RAGING against this latest homewares trend.  - Mentions:  Brandi thinks she caught something... in her throat [https://www.instagram.com/reels/DYpsZ52hMxr/] James Valentine’s Australian Story ep: A Year of Living Gratefully  [https://iview.abc.net.au/show/australian-story/series/2026/video/NC2602Q012S00] Lu’s baggy jeans from Glassons  [https://www.glassons.com/p/low-rise-super-baggy-jean-jd355335dnnr1-glazed-choc] Katie Price Song Credit [https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSxHNypUn/]https://www.lorealparis.com.au/magic-retouch/magic-retouch-temporary-root-concealer-spray---golden-brownhttps://www.longchamp.com/au/en/bags/xsa/bags-by-collection/xsa-col/le-pliage-one/xsa-colplione/ Sign up to The Fifth Trimester [https://view.flodesk.com/pages/624f95a9274c31b2fa76a29f] Fix [https://view.flodesk.com/pages/624f95a9274c31b2fa76a29f]https://view.flodesk.com/pages/624f95a9274c31b2fa76a29f The Fifth Trimester bangers playlist [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0HxV35w0G87TsnLqeMqu2l?si=dc37001128e641dd]  Follow us: @the_fifth_trimester [https://www.instagram.com/the_fifth_trimester/?hl=en] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Are You A Beta Mum?

It’s a glorious week for entertainment, with the telly absolutely bursting with options. From the return of Rivals on Disney+ to the hotly anticipated Kylie Minogue documentary dropping on Wednesday, we’ve got your viewing schedule sorted. Who else spent the weekend glued to the 70th Eurovision Song Contest? We’re unpacking it all, from Our Delta’s powerful rendition of Eclipse to the new earworm of the moment, Bangaranga, its philosophical meaning and how it can be applied to just about everything. In silly parenting news, there’s yet another new label to box ourselves into - the “beta mum”. What do we think? And why is Jessica Simpson’s latest move the perfect example of a beta mum in action? Then, we’re taking a look at John Travolta’s kooky new look and the curse of the upper bleph on men. Finally, our ins and outs for the week include a new cake trend and some BIG feelings about the vintage Country Road bag.

We’re Worried About Lena Dunham

Staring your week with a hilarious dispatch from Lu’s dating life, which BB accidentally derailed in spectacular fashion. Also, there’s one elderly king dominating our feeds right now - the big dog, Sir David Attenborough, who just clocked ~triple~ digits. There is only ONE book millennial women are currently reading, or inhaling through their ear holes, and it’s Famesick by Lena Dunham. We’re unpacking the memoir of the moment and why we’re feeling protective over the Girls creator. Did she share too much? Do we love her for it? Or are we about to tear her down (again) for doing exactly that? Plus, Rihanna has broken the interwebs with her new tattoo, and it’s got BB seriously second-guessing her own upcoming ink. Naturally, we take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of Tinseltown’s most terrible tatts. And finally, our ins and outs include a low-touch way to do your hair, THE sherpa jacket of the season and a bone to pick with late-night gigs.   Mentions:  Sign up to The Fifth Trimester [https://view.flodesk.com/pages/624f95a9274c31b2fa76a29f] Fix [https://view.flodesk.com/pages/624f95a9274c31b2fa76a29f]https://view.flodesk.com/pages/624f95a9274c31b2fa76a29f Famesick by Lena Dunham  [https://www.booktopia.com.au/famesick-lena-dunham/book/9781460759431.html] Pile Lined Fleece Relaxed Silhouette Cardigan in Olive  [https://www.uniqlo.com/au/en/products/E479616-000/00] Test your iron levels  [https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/143326/corepharma-ferritin-rapid-test-cassette] The Fifth Trimester bangers playlist [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0HxV35w0G87TsnLqeMqu2l?si=dc37001128e641dd]  Follow us: @the_fifth_trimester [https://www.instagram.com/the_fifth_trimester/?hl=en] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

If Mother’s Day Is Hard For You ❤️‍🩹

Ahead of Mother’s Day this Sunday, BB and Lu are dropping in for a special lil chat/pep talk/warm hug for anyone who may find this day hard to navigate. Whether you’re longing to be a mum, missing your mum, caring for your mum, dealing with a complex mother-daughter relationship, a tricky mother-in-law dynamic, or a single mum... It’s a day that can put all of that under a microscope and really illuminate the pain. Lu opens up about how, in the wake of her divorce, Mother’s Day, and other big, celebratory moments now come with an undercurrent of sadness. BB shares what it’s been like stepping into the role of legal guardian for her mum following a dementia diagnosis. The girls also share how they’re marking the day together this year, complete with a full-blown boycott of the whole damn thing. We hope this alternative view point makes you feel less alone, DLs.   Share this episode with your loved ones x   Follow us: @the_fifth_trimester [https://www.instagram.com/the_fifth_trimester/?hl=en] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
