Plus, a woman has waited six years to be able to call one of the most famous men in the world her rapist, and now she can. But he isn’t going to jail. The story of Conor McGregor and Nikita Hand. And, why “puffy” is the adjective women are taking to plastic surgeons about their labia. Confused? You're not alone.

  • The Lie Nicole Kidman Still Has To Tell
    Nov 25 2024
    They're the girls whose names and images have been on every screen and hovering in every conversation around Australia over the last few days. So, exactly what happened to Bianca Jones and Holly Bowles? And how? Plus, Nicole Kidman is an enigma wrapped in a riddle — is that happy divorce pap shot REALLY fake, as she says now, and why is there so much chat about how much she works? What's the real deal here about one of Australia's biggest Hollywood stars? And, Heath Ledger, Jacob Elordi, Timothée Chalamet, Dev Patel, Paul Mescal, Harry Styles… No, it’s not a fantasy football team, they’re all men who are the subject of super-cool celebrity lookalike contests.

  • The Influencer Family We Can’t Talk About
    Nov 20 2024

    Medi Mums #medicalmoms are on the rise on social media. Don't know what we're talking about? Listen in as we discuss why parents share their children's moments when they're at their most vulnerable --- and why.

    Plus, is the era of the celebrity endorsement over? Eva Longoria made her thoughts about the new US president clear but after the election, no-one seems to want to hear what she, or any other celebrity, think.

    And are you in your Protective Hag era? Let's just say that one of the hosts is and one... not so much. Buckle up for the discussion.

    Surely the tallest of poppies is the man who declares himself the Sexiest Man Alive? John Kransinski is the latest to take the title and yes, there's a strategy. Pull up a chair while we unpack exactly how something old turned into something new. Plus, bullying, phones and a teenage girl’s legacy. What actually needs to change to fulfil what’s being called Charlotte’s Wish. We discuss. And, has it been the year of the thirsty midlife woman? Bridget Jones is back, she’s dating a younger man, and at least one millennial columnist thinks "that's enough now".

  • EXTRA: Mia Interviews Jackie O About The Addiction That Almost Ended Her
    Nov 16 2024

    Jackie O was deep into a years-long addiction to pills and alcohol until one phone call changed her life.

    There’s a reason Jackie O kept her addiction to pain medication and alcohol a secret for so long: shame. But now, she wants to share her story of recovery and healing with the world and to help other people get the help they need - and so she’s sharing the hard truths of the years she spent struggling.

    Jackie and her best friend Gemma sit down for a searingly honest conversation with Mia Freedman about how Jackie found herself at her low point and finally had to admit her addiction to Gemma - and how Gemma got Jackie to rehab without the press finding out.

    This is a story about addiction and recovery, but it’s also a story of the life-saving quality of friendship.

    You can hear part two of Mia's conversation here.

    Jackie is donating the proceeds from the sale of her memoir to Odyssey House - you can learn more about them here.

    You can find Jackie O’s memoir, The Whole Truth, here.

    You can learn more about Besties - Jackie & Gemma’s project - here.

    And if this episode triggered anything for you and you need someone to talk to, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
