Sydney Sweeney Is The Latest Victim Of The SNL Curse
Actors like Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi can be hot AND funny. But you’d probably never know that if you’ve watched their recent Saturday Night Live episodes. Once known as a make or break career move for famous folks, SNL seems to now have a problem… being hot is the punchline. But who’s to blame? Do writers malfunction when someone is too good looking or are celebrities too precious with their brand?

Why Katy Perry Was Really At Taylor Swift's Show
Katy Perry was at Taylor Swift’s show in Sydney this weekend and Spillers, we think it’s suss. After their long-standing feud was squashed back in 2018 it’s nice to see one girlboss support another, but Katy’s actions (or should we say reactions) has us questioning her motive. And as awards season starts to come to a close, we have to discuss the Screen Actors Guild Awards… including an iconic cast reunion. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia Want more Taylor Swift content?
