It begs the question: is it okay for celebrities – or families of celebrities – to ask for charity? Is this a case of asking the poor to donate to the rich? And…have we entered an era where being famous no longer equals being rich?

DUMB STUFF FRIDAYS: Are you in need of some intrigue? And then, a big ol’ deep dive into Labradoodles because everyone on the internet is shading them atm – even the creator of the Labradoodle himself. Oh, and to conclude this episode, we are being put to the test: Belly has recorded some of the Shameless Media team’s car indicators, and we are going to guess whose sound belongs to which person. It’s a TikTok trend, apparently! This week, Zara recommended watching Love Story on Disney Plus, and in tandem with that, recommended reading ‘The Theft of Story… and its Inevitability’ from Carole Radziwill’s substack.
