Alex Has Receipts, One Less Lonely Girl & The Liberals’ Immigration Policy

4/21/20261 hr 9 min

Alex Cooper vs Alix Earle is heating up - and yes, somehow Brianna Chickenfry is now involved. We unpack the “mean girl” narrative and whether this is really just a business fallout. Meanwhile, the Liberals have proposed a new immigration policy that feels like a copy-paste out of the Pauline Hanson playbook. Over at Coachella weekend two, we dissect Brandchella, Billie Eilish lives out everyone’s dream as the “One Less Lonely Girl,” and Sabrina brings Madonna on stage. Hannah breaks down the latest developments in Iran and where negotiations currently stand, and Sarah gets into the news that Charli XCX’s next album is going full rock.
