The "Useless Boyfriend" Trope Is Taking Over Hollywood & Did Phoebe Bridgers Write A Gracie Abrams Diss Track?
from The Spill · host Mamamia Podcasts
Miranda Kerr broke down her "day on a plate" on Kristen Cavallari's podcast, and it is unhinged... venison, bison, caviar (no parasites, apparently), but absolutely no eggs, kale or sourdough. We can't stop thinking about it.Phoebe Bridgers' new album has a lyric that sounds suspiciously like a dig at Gracie Abrams, and once you add Paul Mescal and some very specific glow-in-the-dark bed sheets into the mix, this "feud" gets a lot messier. Feud or genius songwriting? We're deciding.Also: have you noticed every movie this year has a completely useless boyfriend? From Devil Wears Prada 2 to Hugh Grant across three separate films, we're asking if Hollywood's newest trope is actually good for women.Become a Mamamia subscriber and get an all-access pass to everything we make, including exclusive podcasts and early listening, subscriber-only articles, monthly giveaways and our home workout app, MOVE.
