What's the problem with Sabrina Carpenter's album cover?

4 days ago | mamamia.com.au | Tina Burke

The reactions currently lie in two major camps. On the one hand, there are people who think the implication of this cover image is simple: she's engaged in a consensual sexual act. One that many women enjoy and one that is not inherently controversial. The people in this camp think everyone else is overreacting or engaging in puritanical, conservative culture.
The mid-year slump is real. Here's 7 ways to refresh your routine.

Here are some easy ways to give your routine a much-needed refresh:1. Don't forget your muscles. When we talk about overall health and wellbeing, we often overlook our muscles. Our bones and muscles hold our entire body to be able to move and stay active — and at times we can experience muscle aches. These symptoms aren't just "in your head" — they're a real part of the body's natural response. Ostelin Calcium & Vitamin D3 + Magnesium.
Jeff Bezos is getting married in Venice, and the entire city is protesting.

"Venice is used to being the stage for events and shows every week, without significant impacts," the statement added. And sure, this isn't Venice's first celebrity wedding rodeo — George and Amal Clooney tied the knot here in 2014, and Salma Hayek's 2009 celebration was equally extravagant (and incident-free). Whether Jeff and Lauren's big day will dodge the protester flotillas and media frenzy is anyone's guess.
'6 things that happened to me on weight loss medication.'

5 days ago | mamamia.com.au | Claire Murphy

I found myself creeping into pharmacies further afield in the hopes that they would somehow fill my prescription, but it was to no avail, and so I found myself without it for nearly a year. Which brings me to the second thing you may encounter while using semaglutide. Weight regain. Yes, this is a possibility and a HUGE fear for anyone who has struggled with weight.
Year 9 students were asked to debate tradwives. Then came the phone calls.

Ah, school debates. They offer the chance to show off your quick wit and critical thinking skills in front of a room full of your peers. It's supposed to be a formative experience — one that teaches kids how to respectfully argue both sides of a tricky issue. But this week, one topic being debated by Year 9 students in South Australia has sparked its own conversation, and controversy, amongst adults. The students haven't even stepped up to the podium yet. The topic?

If you're a true-crime fan, there's no doubt you've heard of the Menendez brothers. Their case made headlines around the world when they were arrested in 1990 and again in 2024 when Ryan Murphy portrayed a fictionalised version of their story in Monsters. But the new docuseries Menendez + Menudo explores a captivating and horrifying story that adds depth to their case — one which was left out of their initial criminal trial.
'I thought my baby had a common cold. Within days, she stopped breathing.'

For Deanne, Winter's diagnosis meant navigating both emotional and practical challenges. With a two-year-old son also needing care, she found herself "ringing around frantically trying to get someone to pick him up, trying to work out where he was going to stay for the week". Winter required oxygen and a feeding tube during her week-long hospital stay. "I ended up staying there 24 hours a day, every day until she got discharged," Deanne said.
'I'm the resident gift organiser in my group. These 22 never fail me.'

Let's be honest: there's nothing quite as awkward as unwrapping a present in front of your mates and realising it's… well, a little bit rogue. You know the type — those "unique" gifts that leave you smiling politely while secretly wondering if you've missed the joke. (No shade to my lovely friends and family, but a bocce set? Really?)Watch: What type of friend are you? Post continues below. After years of receiving everything from bizarre bath salts to novelty socks, I decided enough was enough.
We don't know what happened to Leanne. But no woman should be left like this.

On Sunday, a woman's body was discovered in bushland in Sydney's west. She was lying next to clothes and rubbish at a reserve off Irwin Street in Werrington. Detectives said she appeared to have been there for some time before a passerby discovered her. Now, we know her name. Leanne Akrap. She was 47. Listen to The Quicky podcast. Post continues below.
He was Grey's Anatomy's McSteamy. Now Eric Dane is in the fight of his life.

1 week ago | mamamia.com.au | Ailish Delaney

Eric Dane captured our hearts as the ever-so-charming (and sometimes insufferable) plastic surgeon Mark Sloan on Grey's Anatomy. For years, we watched McSteamy help save lives on the hit drama with that trademark sly smile. But in April, the actor opened up about being diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells controlling voluntary muscle movement. Now, he's spoken about it on television for the first time.
