Were you one of those people who became so incensed by how your social media friends voted during Brexit that you instantly blocked them in protest? And now, seven months later, you’re contending with the President Trump divide. Writer Kate Wills spent 48 hours ‘bursting her news bubble’ by reintroducing the people and media outlets that hold opposing views to her own. Find out what she learned on page 36. Joining the debate, Washington political correspondent Marin Cogan shares her insider knowledge on the impact the world protests are having on the President himself (page 26). On a slightly cheerier note (let’s face it, we need it), the high street has fallen in love with the colour yellow, and so have we. Grazia fashion’s Charlie Gowans-Eglinton talks you through the…

SINCE THEIR SHOCK SPLIT last September, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s increasingly venomous divorce has had all the drama of a Hollywood blockbuster. So it was perhaps fitting when, last week it was revealed that Brangelina: The Movie is already in the works. Produced by investigative journalist Ian Halperin (left, who previously wrote a best-selling book on the couple in 2009), Broken: The Incredible Story Of Brangelina will detail the breakdown of the couple’s 12-year relationship. Pegged for release next year, news of the explosive film has already sent shockwaves through the A-list thanks to claims it will reveal the pair secretly split a year before their official break-up. But if that’s true, what was the catalyst for their very public split? Speaking for the first time about the documentary,…

Photos: Getty Images, Xposurephotos.com THEY’RE THE MOST on again/off again couple this side of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. So when Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles arrived at the same Kings of Leon concert in LA last week, speculation inevitably erupted that another reunion could be on the cards. Not so. According to eyewitnesses, the pair acted more like ‘strangers’. To add insult to injury, Harry brought a date who bore a suspicious resemblance to his ex. ‘Harry seems to have moved on,’ said one insider. ‘But Kendall can’t seem to let go.’ According to sources, however, friends are urging her to do just that. It comes a year after they were spotted kissing in St Barts, followed by further reunions in April and September. The 21-year-old super has also…

Photos: Stocksy, Shutterstock I greet Valentine’s Day 2017 as I have greeted every Valentine’s Day since I realised I was too old to be writing fan fiction describing love affairs I wasn’t having with pop stars I didn’t know[1] , and started going out with real people instead: by being utterly bemused it is still happening. Like: really? This ol’ thing? This outdated, commercialised, reductive obligation to express love during a 24-hour period? Didn’t we stop this in the ’70s, on the grounds it was hopelessly passé even then (a time when people thought avocado was the colour of bathroom suites, but had no idea it was also food[2] )? Apparently not. Shop windows are filled with soft-focus kitsch shizzle, restaurants are whacking up their prices and serving what Rose…

photo: Trunk Archive “I THOUGHT I’D LOST ANY SEXUAL DESIRE BUT IT RETURNED WITH A VENGEANCE” I’M WAITING AT A TRAIN STATION, my overnight bag packed, my heart pounding and stomach churning. Is it butterflies, or is it guilt? I’m about to meet my lover to escape for the night to a hotel far away from home. I’m excited, nervous, aching to see this man. My new love. And yet the spark and those lustful moments are peppered with self-hatred and disbelief at what I’m doing. I should be at home with my husband and son. My affair with Mark started a few months after we met. I had enrolled on a simple night course in an attempt to get myself out of my post-baby funk. He was the teacher.…

 ‘ WOW, HE REALLY TOOK A LIKING TO YOU, DIDN’T HE?’ “IT OCCURS TO ME: YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE CLEVER TO FLIRT, JUST INTERESTED.IT BOOSTS MY CONFIDENCE” Calum said, as we entered the cinema. I knew exactly what he meant: the guy who took our tickets kept us there for longer than strictly necessary, and I’d engineered it. Practised my charm on him. I didn’t fancy him, but as I explained to Cal, ‘I needed to reach my flirt target for the week.’ Calum furrowed his brow. ‘Your target?’ I admitted to him what I’ll admit to you: I’m trying to meet – and converse with – 20 new men a week. Look. I might’ve stopped dating because of crappy sex and endless psychological warfare (and because I have,…

Six months later, the news became official when the model launched Kate Moss Agency, telling reporters, ‘I want to create stars.’ Now, it seems she has produced her first. According to insiders, Elfie Reigate – the first female model to be added to her books – is to become the next face of Burberry, and will star in a campaign to be released by the label this week. The 16-year-old is the daughter of Kate’s good friend, former model Rosemary Ferguson, and artist Barry Reigate. She was also one of 15…

Photo: Fritz Kok/ folio-id.com I’ll readily admit that I live in the Liberal Metropolitan Elite Bubble. It’s cosy in here. Everyone thinks just like me. Micro-targeted social media algorithms serve us up a steady stream of stories that reinforce our beliefs, but how hard is it to break out of the digital echo chamber? In the week that Facebook announced it has updated its algorithms to downgrade fake news, I spent two days seeing how the other half scrolls... DAY ONE 9am My Facebook feed is all photos of last night’s Anti-Trump march and jokes about him being a ‘Wotsit Hitler’ (LOL). But not for long.

I FIRST MET THE PERKY, witty, fast-talking Lena Dunham in early 2012. She struck me as the wisest 25-year-old I’d ever come across. And when Girls, the HBO comedy she’d created, directed and starred in, arrived on screens, critics and audiences responded similarly to her gritty, sexually open portrait of post-recession millennial living. In the five years since, in spite of becoming a global star and an outspoken feminist figurehead, writing a best-selling memoir and being named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world, Lena Dunham has changed surprisingly little. As a 30-year-old, she’s as warm, sparky, and unguarded as she ever was. ‘I think I may have destroyed my body and pushed myself into middle age making the show. I used to be able to…

There are no spoilers regarding The Moorside, a dramatisation of this most Jeremy Kyle of crimes. We know that Shannon’s mother, Karen (Gemma Whelan), apparently inspired by a fractious mix of greed, empathy and jealousy toward the McCann family, organised the scam by sending Shannon off to stay with her boyfriend’s uncle a mile away. Writer Neil McKay already has the moors murders (See No Evil) and Fred and Rose West (Appropriate Adult) on his CV. Karen Matthews was not a violent psycho-sexual career criminal, though. She was the cracks in the system, exposed, part of what Cameron identified as ‘Broken Britain’ before taking his…

Photos: Getty Images, Instagram/@gracebarker JUST OVER A YEAR AGO, I sat with Kylie Minogue in the garden of Blakes Hotel in West London and she told me she had finally found The One. He was the tall, dark, handsome, British former public schoolboy Joshua Sasse. He was 20 years younger than her but what the hell, this was Kylie Minogue. She was so loved up, she broke all her usual rules (she rarely speaks publicly about her love life) and fizzed with excitement about this tall aristocratic actor who was going to change her life. ‘I’m completely in love,’ she confessed. ‘This is different to anything I’ve ever felt before. He is the most incredibly special man.’ When they announced their engagement (not on Twitter but in the notice pages…

Photos: Catwalking.com IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST talked-about appointments in fashion history – the first female creative director at Dior – and arguably one of the hardest-fought jobs in the industry. And now the saga of Maria Grazia Chiuri’s first show for the house at Paris Fashion Week has been captured in a two-part documentary, Inside Dior . ‘I feel well with my conscience,’ says Maria Grazia after her first Dior runway show. ‘A company like Dior gives a lot of jobs to many people, and so the people like me, that are in this position, have a huge responsibility – especially in this time.’ Maria Grazia’s first Dior show was only 10 weeks in the making, since she had only recently left Valentino, where she was co-creative director.…

ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER Scandinavian mantra to live by. But while 2016’s hygge had us Instagramming our slippers and knitting our own polos (OK, we bought them in Ganni, but at least it’s Danish), 2017 is serving up the latest Scandi-ism: lagom. Don’t know what we’re lagom-ing on about? The Swedish translation is ‘just the right amount’. In other words, all things in moderation. But what, exactly, is the right amount when it comes to fashion? The golden figure oft quoted by retailers is £300. Luxuriously expensive enough to feel like a treat, but far from remortgaging material – it’s the so-called shopper’s sweet spot. According to Natalie Kingham, buying director at matchesfashion.com, designer collections ‘often start at around the £300 mark – like the Gucci logo tee at £320 or…

THE SKINNY ON FAT The modern world is anti-fat, but we shouldn’t be. Biochemist Sylvia Tara’s new book, The Secret Life Of Fat (£9.99, amazon.co.uk), unpacks the myths, explaining why fat is crucial and sorely misunderstood. DOWN WITH ‘DIET’ It can be tempting to switch regular drinks for their diet counterparts in a bid to drop the pounds, but a new study suggests this method doesn’t deliver. Far from saving you cals, knocking back diet drinks simply means eating more of them at meal times. You already know it, but you’re better off with a glass of water.

FIONA COWOOD Grazia contributing editor ★★★✩✩ I must admit, Space Romance is not really my genre. Although I liked Katie Khan’s premise – a couple adrift in space with only 90 minutes of oxygen left, stranded above a world where love is banned – I’m sure fans of dystopian fiction will find this much more their cup of tea. EMILY PHILLIPS Grazia’s features director ★★★★✩ I personally love a slightly YA-ish read, and this is just the ticket if you’re looking to get lost in a breathless love story in space. There’s a political undertone to the plot, too: Carys and Max live in a future where young people must rotate around various points in what is basically a hyped-up E. It left me pining for a better world in…

GONE GIRLS By episode three of the last season of Girls, Lena Dunham had magically recaptured everything that was amazing about the zeitgeist she ushered in. And now… farewell. There will be no more Jessa, Marnie, Shoshanna and Hannah. They will be badly, sadly missed, leaving a massively influential, generational legacy in their wake.

LETTER OF THE WEEK HEAR OUR VOICE I just read ‘Someone offered me £40 for sex… so I took it’ (30 Jan). I’ve worked as an indoor sex worker for years. I was dismayed that the article concluded with the words of a volunteer and not one of us who actually works in the industry. ‘Where there’s demand, there’s always going to be supply, but how do you tackle that?’ By doing so, it appears to push a criminalisation agenda. All the sex workers I know want decriminalisation because we want to work as safely as possible and without fear of a criminal record. That goes for indoor sex workers who work together (as more than one sex worker working on a premises can be arrested for managing a brothel)…
