#291: Baz Luhrmann, Jennifer Lopez, Hacks S03

Bang On

Just when we think it's been a quiet week, the internet proves us wrong. A TikTok comedian has gotten answers to the questions many journo's have been asking of Baz Luhrmann, streetside in Sydney. Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have launched a new reality TV show about their lives (in strange timing...), and the Tillies squad has been announced for the Paris Olympics.

It feels like it's been a bit of a pile on for J Lo lately, and it speaks to a whole lot more than poor ticket sales. Why is women's ambition so misunderstood?

Meanwhile, it's a big week for shoes, as Rupert Murdoch keeps it casual on his wedding day and Miley elevates her treadmill time with some slingbacks. And we're banging on about the brilliant film May December, and season 3 of Hacks.
