Summary

It’s a riot of celebrity news this week: Madonna, J-Lo and Brad n Leo’s sarnie dates. Whole gang’s here. Plus: Mark Ronson’s sapiosexuality, Fleabag’s Emmy sweep, Thomas Cook’s crash and Justin Trudeau’s blackface scandal.

Also this week: we discuss male vs female vanity (klaxon: men look in the mirror more than women) and Debrett’s etiquette guide for Facebook messenger. What does this (slightly hilarious) meeting of minds tell us about how desperately we need digital etiquette? We discuss online communication in the age of the constant feedback loop.

We’re going on tour and we want your stories! Send us your best yarns - funny, moving, shocking, riveting - to the e-mail address below.

And for those of you who still want tickets to The High Low Experience - there are a few left for our Manchester show: www.faneproductions.com/our-shows/the-high-low-experience

0:00.0	Welcome to the Highloat the Wicked Ikkaraan to Fairs in Popculture, because brought to you by
0:19.2	Dolly Alderson and Pandora Sykes. And I have two juicy morsels of celebrity news for you.
0:26.1	Coming in hot with the celebs, this is enormously unlike you. First and foremost,
0:30.9	Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio are not only friends because we speculated last week that they weren't,
0:38.2	but they have been making ceramics together. According to the Sun, the actors have
0:44.4	foretourster a budding brood, actually got it from a certain called ArtNet.com, which referenced
0:50.0	London paper the Sun. The actors have forged a budding broam ants over ceramics and sandwiches
0:57.1	since the movie wrapped. Brad's got his own sculpting studio at his house, and Leo loves coming
1:02.6	over to use it as source recently told the Sun. They sometimes hang out with Brad's artist pals,
1:08.4	but other times it's just the two of them. Leo brings sandwiches over from their favourite place
1:13.8	fat sals, and they spend their boys' nights creating art until the early hours. That sounds like

1:44.8	But what fat sals sounds, it's sort of pastramid, emmental, CJ. It sounds very pastramary.
1:51.3	Yeah, it's pastramid. I think. Anyway, if we could get the sun subs to clarify that, that would be great.
1:58.8	In turn, I have some celebrity news for you. J.Lo walked the Versace Catwalk in Milan last week.
2:04.8	In that green slash to the naval dress that she first wore in 2000 at the Grammys and fun factoid
2:12.0	here, that dress was the reason that Google Images were amended. Oh my god, no way. So many people
