## Resource

Laura and Carmen dive straight into rumours of behind-the-scenes fallouts, from the alleged One Direction feud between Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik to the explosive TV drama on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, All Stars. They also get into some unexpected celebrity pairings taking centre stage. Some make perfect sense (hello Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner!?), while others feel like they were generated by AI. Naturally, the Kardashian universe makes an appearance, because when don’t they? Plus, Laura and Carmen react to shocking headlines coming out of the White House dinner, with an unhinged take on the attempted Trump assassination they genuinely can’t stop thinking about.
