Why did the news about Kim Kardashian’s new boyfriend make Em Vernem cry? The F1 fans of Out Loud have a lot of big feelings about Kim and Lewis Hamilton’s romantic weekend in London and Paris, and the reason is... baffling.
Plus, a former Neighbours star is now a big deal in populist Right politics, globally. Yes, Holly Valance is busy trying to get Pauline Hanson elected, just as she’s trying to get Nigel Farage elected in the UK and threw a massive fundraiser for Trump in 2024. So, is Valance’s One Nation re-record of Kiss Kiss silly, or scary?
And.. Is it always better to be right? Holly Wainwright, Jessie Stephens and Em wrestle with the dichotomy of caring about facts and caring about being an infuriating over-corrector.
Oh, and we found out the truth about Chappell Roan’s nipples. You. Are. Welcome.

Outlouders, enjoy this free taste of Mia in full flight on today's subscriber episode. Listen to the complete episode of Scurrilous Gossip - Karl Stefanovic, Melania Trump & Sydney Sweeney, oh my at 5pm today. Not a subscriber? This is where all that can change.
Outlouders, gather 'round. Mia Freedman is back in the studio with Holly Wainwright and Em Vernem, with a few pieces of scurrilous gossip she’s dying to unpack.
First up, the breakfast TV king himself. Karl Stefanovic is launching a podcast, and Mia has thoughts on what exactly this means.
Plus, we need to talk about Sydney Sweeney’s new lingerie brand, Syrn. (It’s pronounced 'Siren'... apparently). We deep-dive into that viral Hollywood sign video and ask: Is this actually a new era of 'post-feminist' empowerment, or are we just being sold the same old story in better lighting?
And, there’s a new documentary about Melania Trump. The team investigates the very curious reports of seat-filling incentives to make the film’s launch look like a hit. So, is anyone actually watching it, or is it all just "fake news"?
Remember, this is just a little subs snackette. The full debrief drops for subscribers at 5pm.

If a man breaks up with a 30-something woman who wants a child, is he guilty of more than changing his mind? Inspired by a viral column from the weekend, we explain the phenomena of the ‘fertility vampire’.
Also, you might have seen the disturbing photos of the man once known as Prince Andrew kneeling over a woman. They are just a few of the thousands and thousands of images released in this weekend’s drop from the Epstein Files. So what are they, what else is in there, and what might happen next?
Are Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi “affair baiting” on the press tour for Wuthering Heights? And is that… okay?
Plus, Kim Kardashian has finally told us exactly why Harry and Meghan wanted those pictures taken off their socials and Karl Stefanovic is cutting our grass.
Jessie Stephens, Emily Vernem and Holly Wainwright unpack all that and why an Outlouder has shattered Holly’s family dreams.

You probably should be burping your house: every morning, every evening and whenever you get the urge throughout the day, tbh. Jessie Stephens explains to Emily Vernem and Holly Wainwright why not doing that is… a lil bit gross.
And while we’re hygiene-sharing, Em has a question for the group: How many pairs of underwear do you take if you are going away for a weekend? Holly thought she knew the answer to this question, but she’s definitely wrong.
Also, how many risks are parents allowed to take? We’re talking about Alex Honnold and Sanni McCandless - the man who just climbed a skyscraper with no ropes, net or parachute, and the mother of his little kids who watched him do it. Is it okay to just… carry on regardless with your passions, however isolating or deadly they are, once you have kids?
Plus: Be more “vegan + bacon”. Why that’s not an oxymoron, but a philosophy to live by in 2026.
Oh, and recommendations. Which this week include:

Emily’s underwear edit - including Nala (the sexiest Aussie pants) and many more.
Holly’s enthusiasm for Oscar-nommed Marty Supreme, in cinemas now, and a high-brow discussion about Timothée's bottom.
And Jessie is watching The Pitt, Season Two, on HBO Max.
Urgent addition! Mia’s new baby, a show for Gen X women who want to laugh - Unleashed. Coming next week.
