Welcome to another unapologetically honest, pop culture-packed
episode of The Blunt and the Beautiful: Week That
Was – where nothing is off limits and everything is up
for commentary. This week, your favourite duo Kate and Tansy are
deep in their domestic goddess era (cleaning gloves on), ready to
unpack everything that mattered (and didn’t) across pop culture,
streaming, fashion, and the big, bold messes of the week.
Domestic bliss? Kind of.
We kick off with Kate and Tansy sharing their newfound love for
mopping – proof that yes, you can be both glam and grounded.
Sabrina Carpenter at the VMAs – protecting the
dolls
Tansy’s muse is back and slaying. The girls deep dive into
Sabrina’s drag-queen-backed performance, that “Protect The Dolls”
sign moment, and the shift in her aesthetic from 50s to 70s.
Kate’s convinced she switched glam teams. Bob Mackie, Cher
references, Dua Lipa School of Dance… it’s all there.
🩰 Tate McRae: Dancer first, pop star…
maybe
Who is Tate McRae and why is she so good at dancing in rubble?
Tansy draws comparisons to Addison Rae and Cora Corman from
“Music and Lyrics,” while Kate wonders how dancers become famous
without vocals. Also: sand choreography, sexy whispers, and what
it means to be a vehicle for movement.
Doja Cat eats lipstick. Yes, literally.
Tansy defends Doja’s chaotic 80s harlequin look while Kate
questions if it was even a “dress.” They compare this to the
long-standing legacy of the VMAs being exactly that unhinged –
referencing Lil’ Kim, Lady Gaga’s lace moment, and how some
stylists just live to stir.
Wuthering Heights but make it horny?
The girls spiral over Emerald Fennell’s new “Wuthering Heights”
film trailer. Fingers, fish, BDSM undertones, and the total
misread of Brontë's dark classic have them screaming “what the
actual…”. Kate delivers a brutal take on class, race, and
literary misinterpretation, while Tansy adds a theory that maybe
the whole film is a dream sequence read by Margot Robbie. Either
way – they’re not sold.
Speaking of Margot… what’s happening?!
Margot Robbie’s “stinky” era? The duo reluctantly pan the trailer
for her new film “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey” with Colin
Farrell. Bad wigs, art teacher cosplay, and fake trailer vibes à
la The Holiday. Sorry Margot – they still love you, just not this
script.
A Bachelorette like no other
TikTok’s Mormon influencer Taylor Paul is the next U.S.
Bachelorette – and yes, she’s bringing her exes and extensions
with her. Tansy recaps her wild ride from “MomTok” to mainstream,
including soft swinging, secret lives, and why Utah’s extensions
industry is booming.
🪩 Dancing With the Mormon Stars?
Two of Taylor’s fellow Mormon wives are now on Dancing With The
Stars. One of them, hilariously, thought her husband was related
to Ben Affleck. Spoiler: he’s not.
Julia Roberts channels Erin Brockovich IRL
At the Venice Film Festival, Julia Roberts shuts down a sexist,
racist, and clueless question during a press conference with
co-stars Andrew Garfield and I.A.O. Debris. Cue iconic clap-back,
Erin Brockovich flashbacks, and Io delivering the real mic drop
moment.
