CULTUREWhat the f*ck!
Written By Phoebe Shardlow

This is WHAT THE F*CK!, your weekly pop culture round-up of nail-biting news, need-to-know trends and never-to-be-ignored topics. Think of it as your own personally curated list, prepped and preened with things that deserve your undivided attention or disapproving glances. Allow us to do the hard work for you (we’re your own little tattle-tale) and let us show you what to check-out and check-off this week.

 

DADDY COOL
Slowthai welcomes baby Rain

Just when we thought SLOWTHAI couldn’t get any hotter, he only goes and becomes a DILF. Yep, that rapper we all find awfully sexy despite having the aura of that kid in primary school who ate all the PVA glue has welcomed to the world baby Rain with his fiancé, Russian model KATERINA. Congratulations on joining the Daddy club Mr Slowthai! But please don’t stop spitting in fans' mouths anytime soon.

 

LAW & DISORDER
ABC airs The Housewife and The Hustler

Oh no she embezzle don’t! (Dear reader, I spent all day trying to workshop this pun and it’s the best you’re getting). This week The Housewife and The Hustler; ABC’s documentary exposing the messy and chaotic legal problems of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star ERIKA JAYNE and her now estranged husband lawyer Tom Girardi (the wee old fella) hit TV. The doc tells the story of how Mr Girardi stole MILLIONS of dollars off families he helped represent and how the money he stole was getting pumped straight into funding housewife Erika’s career. Dana “$25,000 sunglasses” Wilkey makes an appearance also.

 

THIS REALLY NICE PHOTO OF JONAH HILL
He looks really nice

Loyal readers! It’s been a slow week for celebrity gossip I must admit (Hollywood do something nutty now, please). Alas my king JONAH HILL dropped this absolutely stunning, gorgeous, healthy, glowing fit pic and the crowd went wild. Captioned “50 and thriving” Hill baffled mainstream news outlets (could never be me) and left them questioning whether the actor was in fact a 50-year-old man. Yep, that’s how slow the news was this week guys.

 

BROKEN HEARTS & BEAUTY SLEEP
Mykki Blanco drops a new album

ATTENTION! MYKKI BLANCO is bloody back, this time with the absolute knock-out that is Broken Hearts & Beauty Sleep. With features from Blood Orange and JAMILA WOODS, this marks Mykki’s first album to be released under a record label!

 

FASHION FUNDRAISER ALERT
