The Spill

On the show today… Taylor Swift’s long-awaited Eras tour kicked off over the weekend, and her opening show immediately went viral on TikTok and broke a pretty impressive record. Here’s what you need to know. Plus, the first photos of Ed McVey and Meg Bellamy as Prince William and Kate Middleton have been captured outside St. Andrews University in Scotland as The Crown films scenes depicting how the royal couple first met. But will they delve into the (alleged) scandalous story of how Kate really ended up there? And a public debate is raging over Wednesday and Scream star Jenna Ortega after she gave an interview describing her “unprofessional” behaviour on the set of her hit Netflix show. A well-known then producer publicly called her out for it, and now the conversation has turned to, is Jenna Ortega a toxic star or just an easy target?

On the show today… Unfortunately, Ben Affleck’s face was the viral star of the Grammys. He’s now responded to the story and shared what Jennifer Lopez really said to him when the cameras turned on them, and look we might give him a pass this time. Plus, Zendaya made headlines this week after it was insinuated that her celebrity stylist Law Roach had left the industry because of her. Law Roach has since denied this, but it’s opened up a bigger conversation about the true power dynamic between stylists and stars and the red carpet rules they are playing by. And, it’s Weekend Watch time! Today we have a wild new reality show and an apocalyptic new comedy series to recommend to you.

On the show today… In news we needed this week, Lizzo has been announced as the first headliner for Splendour in the Grass 2023. Here’s everything you need to know. Plus, Nicola Peltz-Beckham is on the cover of Cosmopolitan’s Couples Issue (alone, we might add) and while she talks about her marriage and famous mother-in-law, the most interesting interview tidbit is about Selena Gomez. Now we need to talk about how PR friendships are the new PR romance. And Gwyneth Paltrow has once again caused outrage and concern after she detailed her very restrictive diet during a podcast interview. Of course, the outraged headlines are exactly what she was chasing, but the bigger issue is not about Gwyneth herself, and more so the unspoken toxic truths that she is highlighting.

But there’s a reason why she’s chosen to keep her story in the spotlight. Plus, Paris Hilton’s memoir is out in the world today. Along with some funny stories about her childhood, life in the spotlight and marriage are some truly disturbing tales of abuse she has only now chosen to share.

Here’s what you need to know. And it’s Oscars day!

On the show today… Today there have been numerous reports floating around stating that Anna Wintour is banning the Kardashian family from the next Met Gala. While we’re pretty confident this is not true, the intricacies of why the Kardashians hold the power here is the real story. And Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have issued a statement defending their choice to call their daughter Princess Lilibet. This latest scandal is hooked on Lilibet’s christening, but it does point to some deeper drama happening within the Royal Family and some questions about Harry and Meghan’s future. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! Today we have a thrilling new Netflix movie to recommend to you along with a new big-screen slasher release that we’re pretty confident is one of the best cinema experiences of the past year.

On the show today… Another day, another Oscars drama. The ceremony is taking place next week and just as voting was about to close, Best Actress nominee Michelle Yeoh posted an article to her Instagram page that landed her in a bit of hot water, and it involved fellow nominee Cate Blanchett. Plus, Cara Delevigne is Vogue’s newest cover star and in an accompanying interview, she speaks about the photos that led to her sobriety. The interview comes at the same time as other stars, including Lucy Hale, have also spoken about their addictions and it’s opened up a whole new conversation. And this week a Justin Bieber concert was interrupted by an angry crowd chanting about Hailey Bieber. In the last week, Hailey has lost more than one million Instagram followers due to allegations that she and Kylie Jenner were bullying Selena Gomez. But this new wave of hatred against Hailey is not just hooked on Selena.

On the show today… All of the nominees for Best Original Song have been confirmed to perform at next week’s Oscars, with the exception of Lady Gaga and her beloved Top Gun: Maverick tune. And we think her controversial new movie role might be to blame. Plus, in a celebrity crossover event we never saw coming, Tyga and Avril Lavigne want us to know they’re very much…into each other, thanks to a series of headline-making paparazzi pash photos. This was news to Avril’s fiance Mod Sun, so if you’re also confused, allow us to explain what happened. And this morning three different headlines were trending, all hooked on the faces of Kim Basinger, Gigi Hadid, and Kim Kardashian. One Kim is being praised, while the other has been labeled ‘unrecongisable’ and it’s led to an important, but uncomfortable conversation around famous women’s faces and why it’s now acceptable to shame them, as long as you use the right words.
