It’s finally here, Britney Spears highly anticipated memoir “The Woman In Me” is out, and Zan has read it all in one hit. We go in with all you need to know, as Britney reclaims her story. It’s been a big week for Beyonce too, as we mark 10 years since she visited Brunswick, and she releases a new perfume to mark the occasion. Maybe not related, but we’ll say they are. Kings of Leon have come a long way from their southern charm, and are being called out for being absolute dicks at a festival by Groove Armada. Pass the popcorn. And a 90’s dream union has come true, with the children of icons continuing the dynasty. Goatees are back (ew), and AI has a hotness problem. Have you noticed? Meanwhile we’re banging on about a brilliant doco on artist/activist Nan Goldin, and Brigid Delaney’s Wellmania.
