Thelma was just a small town pony who dreamed of being a glamorous pop star. Then fate and pink glitter stepped in and Thelma suddenly became an international superstar unicorn! Be careful what you wish for though, because living the glitz and glam life isn’t always as fun as it seems. Is Thelma really ready for her close up and sparkling in the spotlight? Thelma the Unicorn is based on Aaron Blabey's picture books Thelma the Unicorn and The Return of Thelma the Unicorn. If Aaron’s name sounds familiar, it’s coz he’s the creator of cool book series such as The Bad Guys and Cat on the Run. Aaron was a co-executive producer on The Bad Guys movie and is also one on Thelma the Unicorn, so you can expect…

⧫FORTNIGHT Featuring guest vocals (and co-writing) from singer/rapper Post Malone, the lead single from TTPD references a short-lived relationship that Taylor was in after a longer one. Sounds awfully like the blink-and-you’ll-miss it relationship with Matty Healy, who she briefly dated after breaking up with Joe Alwyn. ⧫THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT Here’s Mr. Healy again – Tay says the song’s subject “ate seven bars of chocolate” and is a “tattooed golden retriever”. Matty’s band, The 1975, has a song called 'Chocolate' and he has several tattoos. Taylor also refers to “Lucy” and “Jack”, likely Lucy Dacus from boygenius and Jack Antonoff – mutual friends of Taylor and Matty. ⧫MY BOY ONLY BREAKS HIS FAVOURITE TOYS This bop – about holding onto a relationship that's ending – has us feeling the…

1 All ginger cats are tabbies Just like Garfield! This means they have one of five adorable coat patterns: blotched, mackerel (striped), spotted, ticked or patched. 2 M marks the spot Because they are tabbies, ginger cats all have an ‘M’ on their forehead. There are lots of different ideas about what the ‘M’ stands for. Our favourite? ‘M’ is for ‘mau’, the Ancient Egyptian word for cat! 3 Mostginger cats are boys And this has to do with their coat colour! This is because a male cat only needs one ginger gene from their parent, while a female cat needs two. So if you’re looking to adopt a cute little ginger ninja kitty, about 80% of them will be boys. 4 They get freckles Yes, really! They can get…

COOL CAT Iconic cat Garfield has been keeping us entertained in comic strips and on screen for over 45 years. We’re super excited to see him back on the big screen when The Garfield Movie hits cinemas May 30! Part of the reason why Garfield's so beloved is coz he’s unapologetically himself – he’s not perfect, which makes him totes relatable. Here are four things that has us vibing with him… 1. He is lazy. We get it – sometimes all you want to do is chill. 2. He hates Mondays. We feel ya, Garfield. 3. His obsession with food – lasagna, pizza, burgers, cake – you name it! 4. He’s sarcastic and witty. For a lazy cat, he sure makes us laugh a lot. SWEET SQUISHMALLOWS STYLE OMTG, we…

Hi Cailey! What do you admire about your character, Bea? Bea is very driven and determined. Whenever she sets her mind on something, she will do anything she can to reach her goals! Imaginary Friends, a.k.a. IFs, are time capsules for hopes and dreams – what were your dreams as a kid? I have been dreaming of being an actress since I was four. I would always tell my mum that I wanted to be on Disney Channel! As I got further throughout my career, I really wanted to land a Marvel role. My brother and I love watching Marvel movies together whenever they hit the theatres, so I thought that it would be cool to surprise him with a role like that someday. I was able to do that…

Millie x Winnie Millie Bobby Brown is the ultimate pet mum. She’s got eights dogs and four cats. On set, it’s all eyes on her support dog Winnie (a.k.a Winnie the Pooh, coz she’s a poodle. Clever!). Millie says that she's super sweet, intelligent, and can work the camera. They even appeared on a talk show together! Fun fact: Winnie knows when Millie is acting, but one time, Millie did a stunt that looked SO REAL and Winnie cried out thinking her bestie was in danger! Awww!

Meet Alice Robinson, New Zealand skiing sensation – who was actually born in Sydney. In 2024, during the FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup, she managed to secure second place in the Women’s Giant Slalom skiing discipline in three different countries – and scored third place in the same event in another country. OMTG, so cool! That’s all thanks to the mental journey she’s been on that inspired her to aim for greatness. Alice admits that at some point she lost the spark for competitions that she once had, going into survival mode. Oh no! But... the great news is that she’s fallen back in love with the sport with a whole new mindset! YAY! Alice says she’s "learned a lot about resilience", which is sooo important when dealing with the…

TG’s BLUSH of the MONTH Flying down My family and I went bowling one night and we went with some people I’ve literally never met before. Most of them were teenagers so I was trying to act super cool. It was working in my opinion, until one of the mums came up to me and said “Sweetie your fly is undone!” OMTG! She literally did not hesitate to say it in front of all those people. So embarrassing! Arzia Just keep swimming Once at my swimming lessons, another kid and I were racing each other. I thought we had to swim two laps of freestyle, BUT we were actually meant to swim one! When I got to the end of the pool, the other kids were staring at me from…
