Is Kendall Jenner Aussie Now? Plus, the Rolling Stones are Young Again, But Lyndsey and Celia Are Feeling Quite Old and "Peak Ugly" Season is Almost Here

Are Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi the celebrity couple we never knew we needed? Why are mega pop stars like Harry Styles training like elite athletes now? And should The Rolling Stones really be using de-aging AI in their music videos, or have we officially crossed a line?  These are just some of the stories Editor Lyndsey Rodrigues and Entertainment Writer Celia Whitley are unpacking in the latest episode of The WHO Group Chat.  First up, Lyndsey and Celia are fully invested in the possibility of Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi as a couple. They are already imagining the Architectural Digest tour, the genetically blessed future children and the kind of celebrity pairing that feels designed to break the internet.  Then, it is all about the increasingly intense world of pop stardom, with Harry Styles and other global music icons now performing at such a high physical level that they are starting to resemble professional athletes more than musicians. Are we underestimating how brutal modern touring actually is? Absolutely.  Next, Lyndsey and Celia are divided over The Rolling Stones’ use of de-aging AI in their latest music video. Is it innovative and fun, or deeply unsettling? Are the Stones taking their fans on a nostalgic trip down memory lane, or are they in a little bit of denial? The girls have very different opinions, and the debate gets lively.  They are also having a full existential crisis after realising a wave of celebrity children, the same nepo babies we remember being born, have now graduated from college. How is it possible that the children of Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson are suddenly adults when it feels like just yesterday their mums were on red carpets with baby bumps?  Plus, Lyndsey reveals she may be entering her “peak ugly” era and, yes, that is apparently a real thing. Is there a fix? Maybe. Can Lyndsey be bothered to rise to the challenge of winter skin, dark circles and lanky hair? That is another question entirely.  And finally, WHO Lifestyle Editor Madi joins the chat to discuss “the one that got away”. Is it a genuine soul connection we carry forever, or just nostalgia, romanticising and social media making us spiral at 11pm?  So whether you are here for the celebrity romance, the AI discourse, the pop-star fitness chat or you are simply a winter uglies sympathiser, settle in for the one group chat you definitely won’t want to mute.  This episode covers:  * Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi romance rumours  * Why Harry Styles and major pop stars are training like athletes  * The brutal physical reality of modern touring  * The Rolling Stones’ de-aging AI music video  * Whether AI in entertainment has gone too far  * Celebrity children and nepo babies growing up  * Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson’s adult kids  * Lyndsey’s “peak ugly” era  * Winter skin, dark circles and beauty fatigue  * The one that got away  * Nostalgia, old flames and social media spirals  🎧 Listen and follow The Who Group Chat on Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/1RTmiGEj7iNTjm3YTZMlhi?si=28a123d63d884339] and Apple Podcasts  [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-who-group-chat/id1861611047] Read more with WHO: https://www.who.com.au/entertainment/harry-styles-2026-australian-shows/ [https://www.who.com.au/entertainment/harry-styles-2026-australian-shows/] https://www.who.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/harry-styles-zoe-kravitz-engagement/ [https://www.who.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/harry-styles-zoe-kravitz-engagement/] https://www.who.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/jacob-elordi-girlfriend/ [https://www.who.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/jacob-elordi-girlfriend/] https://www.who.com.au/entertainment/music/music-videos-2026/ [https://www.who.com.au/entertainment/music/music-videos-2026/] Credits:  Hosts: Lyndsey Rodrigues and Celia Whitley  Featuring: Madi Bogisch Production by Charlie Potter  Head of Vodcasting Rachel Fountain  Learn More: The WHO Group Chat [https://www.who.com.au/the-group-chat/] is a production of WHO Magazine [https://www.who.com.au/] and Are Media [https://www.aremedia.com.au/].  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

I Came For Dua Lipa's Law Suit But Staying For The Not So B'aaaad Sheep Detectives Movie

https://www.who.com.au/entertainment/reality-tv/masterchef-australia-2026-backlash/In this episode of The WHO Group Chat, Editor Lyndsey Rodrigues and Entertainment Writer Celia Whitley are eating a very large slice of humble pie after realising the Sheep Detectives movie might actually… be good? After previously writing it off as utter nonsense, the girls are now feeling pretty baaaa-shful about how wrong they were.  They’re also diving into Dua Lipa’s latest lawsuit and, naturally, getting extremely punny about it in the process, before unpacking rumours that Meghan Markle could be eyeing a return to acting. Would Hollywood welcome her back with open arms? Would she even WANT to work with Netflix again? And how would her fans and detractors react either way?   Then it’s onto MasterChef Australia and the surprisingly divisive topic of viral week. Why do some viewers love seeing internet food trends hit the kitchen while others absolutely cannot stand it? The girls investigate.  Plus, the team becomes mildly horrified while discussing the premise of Naked Attraction, the dating show that asks one very important question: what if we removed mystery, dignity and clothing all at once?  And finally, it’s book club time as Lyndsey and Celia chat about this month’s pick, Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke, and unpack why it has the tradwives of the internet so deeply offended. Is it satire? Social commentary? Or just hitting a little too close to home?   So, whether you’re defending viral week, reconsidering your stance on sheep detectives or simply trying to churn your own butter, settle in for the one group chat you definitely won’t want to mute.  Thanks for listening 💓  DM us and let us know your celeb hot takes  SEE MORE 👀 Visit WHO.com [https://who.com.au/] Meghan Markle Comeback?

Met Gala vs Fashion Critical: A Bumper Bonus Episode

What really went down at the Met Gala 2026 and why did it feel somehow more expensive than ever? Did Blake Lively just pull off the most conveniently timed comeback in Met history? What exactly was Jeff Bezos doing in the mix, and are billionaires officially part of the fashion conversation now? In this episode of The WHO Group Chat, Editor Lyndsey Rodrigues and Entertainment Writer Celia Whitley are joined by iconic influencer Fashion Critical to unpack every headline, hemline and highly questionable choice from fashion’s biggest night. First up, it’s Blake Lively’s return to the Met steps, timed suspiciously close to the wrap-up of her recent legal drama, and whether this was a masterclass in image control or just very good luck. Then, the trio dives into Jeff Bezos’ involvement and what it says about the ever-blurring lines between tech, wealth and high fashion. Should we have boycotted Fashion’s Superbowl? We could never. Of course, no Met recap would be complete without a ruthless round of who nailed it and who absolutely did not. From standout moments to looks that left us genuinely speechless (and not in a good way), nothing is off limits and no outfit is safe.  Who was Fashion Critical [https://www.instagram.com/fashion_critical/]outraged by and who got her coveted seal of approval? Listen and find out!  Plus, why did this year feel so expensive? The girls get into the rising cost of attendance and what caused it. Fuel crisis? War? Or Ozempic? You decide.  And because we’re already thinking ahead, Lyndsey, Celia and Fashion Critical pitch their dream themes for next year, some chic, some chaotic and some that should probably never see the light of day. So whether you’re here for the fashion, the drama or the discourse, settle in, this is one group chat you definitely won’t want to mute.

Maybe We Don't Need A Michael Jackson Biopic? And What A Netflix Scam and Your Group Chat Have In Common

Should the Michael Jackson biopic have been made at all? Can you separate the art from the artist or, in this case, the person from the crimes? Or can we maybe just stop immortalising problematic people?  These are just some of the big and surprisingly philosophical questions Editor Lyndsey Rodrigues and Entertainment Writer Celia Whitley are tackling in the latest episode of The WHO Group Chat. First up, the girls dive into the controversy surrounding the MJ biopic, unpacking the ethics of bringing his story to the big screen, whether audiences can truly separate the performer from the allegations and whether the "King of Pop" somehow got a pass.  Then, Celia sits down with comedian and Taskmaster star Anisa Nandaula for a hilariously candid chat about the upcoming season of the Channel 10 series. From behind-the-scenes tea about Chelsea Handler to brutally honest reviews, Anisa does not hold back. Meanwhile, Lyndsey reveals she was recently offered a very lucrative “job” at Netflix. Dream opportunity? Not quite. The catch: it was a scam. What follows is a chaotic and deeply entertaining tale of Lyndsey engaging in a spiralling game of cat and mouse with two robots. Spoiler: things get weird. Fast. And finally, the conversation turns to something deeper as Celia and Madi unpack the modern loneliness epidemic. In a world where everyone is trying to “protect their peace,” have we accidentally become too guarded to form meaningful connections? Are boundaries healthy… or are they leaving us isolated, friendless and weirdly dependent on podcasts for company? So whether you’re here for the ethics debate, scammer chaos or an existential crisis about your social life, settle in for the one group chat you definitely won’t want to mute.

aflevering Zendaya vs Sydney Sweeney! Plus How To Hard Launch A Relationship And Can Talking Animals Please Stop Stealing Jobs? artwork

Zendaya vs Sydney Sweeney! Plus How To Hard Launch A Relationship And Can Talking Animals Please Stop Stealing Jobs?

Why does the media insist on pitting female co-stars against each other, and how is it affecting our mental health? What’s the perfect way to hard launch a boyfriend on Instagram without spiralling into full cringe? And… why are there suddenly so many talking animals in books and movies, and can we maybe pump the brakes? These are just some of the very important (and increasingly chaotic) topics Editor Lyndsey Rodrigues and Entertainment Writer Celia Whitley are unpacking in the latest episode of The WHO Group Chat. After some quick hit headlines including Sydney Sweeney’s latest American Eagle ad, the girls dive into the age-old narrative of “feuding” female co-stars, after reports that perhaps Sydney and her Euphoria co-star Zendaya have beef. We are unpacking why these rumours persist and who it benefits (hint: not women).  Then, following Joe Jonas finally putting Tatiana Gabriella on main, we engage in a highly strategic brainstorm, attempting to map out the ultimate plan for Celia’s boyfriend's hard launch. Subtle soft reveal? Full grid debut? Or something so rogue it breaks the internet? No option is off the table. Next, things take a sharp turn into the bizarre as the conversation lands on talking animals in film and TV, specifically, why they’re everywhere right now and whether we actually asked for this. This somehow leads to Celia revealing a rather paradoxical fear: animals with human bodies? Totally fine. Human bodies with animal heads? Absolutely not. There’s logic there… somewhere. The girls also weigh in on the upcoming Sheep Detective movie (yes, really), asking the only question that matters: will it be baaaaaaaad or weirdly brilliant? Finally, Lifestyle Editor Madi joins the chat to talk about the rise of whimsy in dating and why more people are leaning into playful, unexpected ways to connect. Is whimsy the secret ingredient we’ve all been missing? Possibly but, in our defence, we were busy buying tuxedos for our teacup pigs.  So whether you’re plotting your next post, questioning your stance on animated animals or just here for the chaos, settle in: this is one group chat you definitely won’t want to mute.
