In the early 2010’s Gen Z cared about two things A LOT, the movie franchise Twilight, and the fact that it’s stars we’re dating in real life. That was until certain pap photos surfaced breaking the two apart and breaking the hearts of Gen Z’s (and oddly some Gen Xers) everywhere.  This episode Shannen takes Holly through a cheating scandal so big the former US President weighed in, and Holly surprises everyone with a secret obsession.   And, we have some sad news... this will be our last ever episode of Lowbrow. We have absolutely love bringing you stories from the pop-culture archive, thank you so much for joining us along the way!   THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia CONTACT US Feedback? We’re listening!

There's nothing more we love here at Lowbrow than royal gossip and a conspiracy theory and this episode has both!  Shannen takes Holly through the internets silliest rumour, was Queen Elizabeth reincarnated into Trisha Paytas' baby?

There are so many iconic besties from the 90's, like Drew Barrymore and Camerón Diaz, or Jennifer Anniston and Courtney Cox but no duo was more iconic than Gwyneth Paltrow and Winona Ryder.  This week Holly unpacks Gwyneth and Winona's friendship, what ultimately led to their undoing and the very different paths they both went on as a result.

In every girl group there is one that stands out above the rest, in Destiny's Child it was Beyoncé, in Pussy Cat Dolls it was Nicole Scherzinger, and in Fifth Harmony it was Camila Cabello.  This episode Shannen takes Holly through the creation of Fifth Harmony, all the drama behind the scenes, and what impressionable Gen Z's took away from their demise.  We also hear about Holly's breakdancing past and if that's not enough of a reason to listen I don't know what is!   THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia CONTACT US Feedback?

This love story begins like all good ones do, in a bed. Paula Yates met Michael Hutchence when he appeared as a guest on her breakfast TV show. The chemistry was undeniable, the problem was they were already in a relationship... with other people.   This episode Holly tells Shannen the rollercoaster story of Paula and Michael, the way the world reacted, and the impact it left on Gen Xers. But be warned this love story doesn't have a happy ending.
