We Asked Strangers At Bondi Beach To Tell Us Their Secrets | IN THE FIELD

Our favourite part of the internet is, of course, the comment section. Our job is literally reacting to and dissecting our FYPs: but we wanted to go a little further this week. We're feeling nosey. We're feeling like allll those little commenters hiding behind their Tik Tok profile pictures might have their own drama going on. So naturally we took to the streets with a sharpie and a fold out table. Did we want an excuse to get gossip from strangers? Yes. You're welcome, we know you want it too. Our takeaways include: It should be more socially acceptable to ask strangers for their secrets…

Kiss Jake Shane, Marry Richard E. Grant & F*ck A Real Live Alien
Wait lol I don't think that's the game. We're breaking down this week on the internet, so give your thumbs a rest from scrolling and picture the glimmer in Richard E. Grant's eyes to calm your soul. There are 3 things we have to cover: Jake Shane. You probably love him, you've definitely consumed his content at some point, but is his internet persona a facade? We realised today that we miiiight not know the successful 20-something as well as we thought we did. Sir Richard E. Grant is on the new season of Celebrity Traitors and holy moly if we didn't already adore him, we sure do now. He's…

Celebrity Rebrands & A Diss Track Written By Nuns
It's time we talk about our architectural digest obsession, specifically the bizarre celebrity stories that have surfaced as a result of the interviews. E.g. Katy Perry allegedly got in a fight with the Catholic Church because she wanted to buy a convent from them, and tried to show them her Jesus tattoo to seal the deal. They probably said "tutt tutt Ms Perry, you kissed a girl and we did not like it". Also, an investigation into the one man behind every iconic celebrity rebrand: we're talking Sabrina Carpenter, Emma Chamberlin, Owen Thiele... the list goes on. Who is Jared Ellner, and more…

A Bizarre Twist In Sydney Sweeney's Ad, Theo James Is Sh*t Stirring & Elizabeth Holmes' Next Move
You've seen the Sydney Sweeney ad by now. You've read and watched and listened to the backlash and you've likely felt the disappointment of the Suffragettes slowly crushing your soul. But we've just discovered something that no one is talking about: Sydney allegedly approached THEM with the idea. What the actual f*ckkkkk bro. On today's episode of In The Comments , we're unpacking Sydney Sweeney's motivations. As much as we want to pin this on Sam Levinson or Scooter Braun, is there really an invisible hand to blame? Or is she firmly in control? Also the juicy financial details, including…

Burning Man Horror Stories, Earle Meets World & Phoebe Bridgers' New Movie
You might've opened social media over the weekend and thought, "Why is Alix Earle EVERYWHERE". Same dude. Her new reality show Earle Meets World came out on Netflix and if you haven't already seen it, allow Liv James to save 8 hours of your life. Her family is genuinely insane. Move over Kardashians, the influencer families are coming for you. Also Burning Man happened and no one cared. Have we all deemed it a bit millennial? Yes. Did you guys know that they ACTUALLY burn a man? It's quite impressive the amount of insanity they cram into a week in the desert, and we have some absolutely…

Meg Stalter Is God, Erling Haaland Is Jesus & David Attenborough Is The Holy Spirit
It's buzzcut season, and the bald heads in Hollywood are multiplying. First it was Haaland, the Olympic viking. Then Connor Storrie of Heated Rivalry fame. WHO WILL BREAK OUR HEARTS NEXT. Other hyper-fixations this week include: Meg Stalter (and Lena Dunham) The great migration. Relatedly, wildebeest. Male celebrities who carry designer handbags. Also Liv Colman got prank called by a nun. Yes. You read that right. We investigate who this mystery voice mail belongs to (spoiler alert, it's a nun). And everything you must outgrow by 25, according to a stranger on the internet and Liv James.…

Exposing Industry Plants, Weird Twin Sh*t & Cancelled Celebrities
Is Ellie Ellis an industry plant? You've seen her on your FYP: the slightly awkward girl with long brown hair and a British accent, putting on makeup and chatting about her day. Simple, endearing, but not necessarily original. And yet... she's gained over 700k followers this week. We investigate infamous industry plants to determine whether the shoe fits. And why "ow my eyes hurt" is a trending search on Tik Tok (it's Carrie Bradshaw's fault) (nah just kidding it's the moon or something). Maybe our eyes are finally turning square omggg. Also the famous twin influencers whose partners didn't…

The 'Let's Marry Harry' Drama, Wicker Fanfic & A Very Tasteful LA Burglar
Welcome back chickies, we're so happy to have you in the comments with us today! If you saw the title and clicked for fanfic, you're in for a treat. This week Kaia Gerber admitted to writing fan fiction for 'wellness' purposes, and as former Watt-pad kids, we've never been more excited. We performing the fanfic we wrote about each other, including mythical creatures and celebrity breakups. Our producer gave us a word count and we ignored it (sorry not sorry). Also, would you marry Harry Jowsey? One man, twenty women and A LOT of shit stirring. The new show by Alex Cooper's Unwell Network is,…

The Influencers Banned From Nantucket, Role Model's Hard Launch & Flute Beatboxing
We're back for round two baby. And thank god we are, because there's a LOT to unpack In The Comments this week. Role Model hard launched his relationship with Dakota Johnson by featuring her in a song, and can you think of anything more wholesome. We love them, but some people are confused so we've got a timeline to track their sparks (no pun intended) (sorry Chris Martin of Coldplay fame). Something happened in Nantucket. Do we know where Nantucket is? Not really. Ceebs to google it. But a shop has gone viral for banning influencers and now we'd like to understand... why. One of us is…

Zoella's Donkey Sanctuary, A Hollywood Prison Break & Our Favourite 'Child' Star
Welcome to In The Comments! We've got a couch, two fully charged phones, and at least 20 hours of daily screen time between us. Strap in, because we're unpacking all the crazy sh*t we've seen on our FYPs this week: Christopher Nolan, director of pretentious films (The Odyssey, Interstellar, Dark Knight Rises etc), has a secret sibling. AND he's an alleged criminal. The story is so insane it could be a movie (okayyy we're foreshadowing). Have you scrolled past that little blond kid who posts home videos from the early 2000s ? Well, we've tracked him down. Olivia Rodrigo has been papped with a…
