    Friends-In-Law: Love Them, Loathe Them, But Can You Actually Be Friends With Them?
    Aug 25 2025

    Breaking: Your next newsreader could be… a TikToker? One expert swears it’s the future. Jessie and Holly are here to find out if we should be terrified — or just scrolling.

    Also today: Serena Williams has picked up a new gig as the global face of weight-loss drugs. But there’s one big detail everyone’s missing.

    Plus, Amelia has a theory about 'friends-in-law' — the people you only know because they're a friend of a friend. Why do we sometimes love them… and sometimes want to fake a scheduling conflict?

    A Tiny Violin For A Well-Endowed Man

    Pete Davidson has a size issue. And no, it’s not what you think—it’s bigger than that. The BDE rumours won’t die, and now Pete’s weighing in with a gender comparison that has Em, Amelia and Holly raising their eyebrows.

One of us hit the Freakier Friday premiere and brought back juicy behind-the-scenes tea. Plus, Em's is in a new situationship. Except this time, robots are involved and it's all got a bit... complicated. Oh, and it's Friday recoos time: A skincare product that slaps (your face, gently), an animated movie that had us crying in public, and an Instagram account that reads as a big cry for help.

  • The Biggest Loser Documentary & The One Question We're All Asking

    The Biggest Loser Documentary & The One Question We're All Asking
    Aug 20 2025
    There's a new Netflix documentary that's made us rethink one of the biggest reality shows from the 2000s—The Biggest Loser. We all watched Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser, but it was the raw and deeply personal responses from one of our producers that will stay with you. And super guru Mel Robbins is human after all. Holly explains why Mel broke down over her friend's kitchen while Jessie and Mamamia's Deputy Editor Stacey Hicks unpick jealousy and reveal who sparks the green monster for them in their lives. Plus, if you were to increase productivity, what would you enforce? A 3pm free diet coke, compulsory mouth tape, a social media ban? We discuss.

    Melania’s ‘Dear Putin’ Letter & The 'Marry Someone Smarter' Debate
    Aug 18 2025
    Donald Trump, the world’s “greatest dealmaker” (his words), has somehow managed to walk away from Vladimir Putin with... not a lot so far in his bid to end the war in Ukraine. And that's despite Melania's handwritten 'letter of peace' to the Russian leader. Then there's a red carpet cameo and a secret backseat meeting. Amelia Lester is here to explain all. Plus, comedian Matt Rife has been cancelled… again. This time, it’s thanks to an e.l.f. cosmetics ad campaign that proves there is such a thing as bad publicity. And Taylor and Travis: he plays the role of the goofy himbo, she’s the sensible mastermind. Their New Heights interview has us asking—should you always be the smarter one in your relationship? Holly, Jessie and Amelia have thoughts. Support independent women’s media by becoming a Mamamia subscriber: Your discount does good — 20% off for you, 20% donated to RizeUp.
