There’s Something Unsettling About Lucy ...

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

On the show today…

If your news feeds are filled with photos of Gwyneth Paltrow walking into a courtroom this week, it’s because she’s being sued for an alleged ‘hit and run’ ski accident and her entire family is being called to testify. Here’s what you need to know.

Plus, the first trailer for Brooke Shields’ new documentary Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields has been released and the archival footage of her life as a child star will send a chill down your spine. We also need to talk about an unexpected celebrity cameo.

And this week actress and artist Lucy Liu was the cover star of New York Magazine’s The Cut. While news outlets only picked up the story around her surrogacy, we noticed a very different tone to the article that made it difficult to read. So is the journalist to blame, or is this just the Hollywood hand that Lucy Liu has been dealt? We unpack the unsettling story behind Lucy Liu’s new magazine cover.
